Hi Daniel,
You might consider phpDocumentor, the user docs could be created using
the CHM converter, with the option of also creating HTML docs for those
not on windows, or a PDF for those who like to print their docs.

I like thinking that a pop-up will work the best to help on the
application usage. Whenever you need help, you make a link with some ID
that corresponds to a certain help-text in the DB. That then appears in
a pop-up window. CHM is not really a web thingie... And, is harder to
manage.

I think that's where I saw something like this
originally, thanks! I'll run through that install
again and pick it apart if possible.
I was hoping maybe there was something a bit more
generic out there that could be applied to an
application, but that's wishful thinking.

Instead of re-inventing the wheel, you may want to try existing RSS
feeds for that site like this:
http://www.newsisfree.com/sources/rss/6296/
All you need to use is a RSS parser to extract the information you want,
but you may find plenty of ready to use PHP classes to do that for
instance here:

Hi!
I have problem with PDF. When the browser is Netscape, my PDF

when the broswer is IE, it sometimes shows up and sometimes
blank screen is seen instead. I
think that's becuase of the problem of header.

I use both Javascript alerts and server side validation for security
reasons. I use Javascript simply from a user interface point of view.
You shouldn't rely on client side validation for security since anyone
can submit any URL to your system.
I typical have one page that handles view, new, edit and save
functions. I first check if the operation is a save. If it is, I do a
validation on the data. If validation fails I update an error variable
with an error message and change the operation to new or edit, whatever
it was before. The page then continues to load as before, including
echoing the error message which now contains something whereas before
it didn't.
That's the simple way of doing it. I also use red hilighting on the
fields, but I use templates which makes it much easier.

Hello I am new to php.
I have a table that is populated with entries. when a user clicks on 1 I want it to open a new php form and send the ID (field in table) to the newly opened php form.
everything seems to be working well I see that the variable is passed the value (ID) in the URL but when I reference the variable in the called php page the variable seems empty.
here is the anchor link from first page with table:
echo("<a href='indpaper.php?ID=" .$row["BiblioID"]. "'>");
this seems to be working fine.
the URL:
http://localhost/ebusiness/indpaper.php?ID=42
as you can see is being passed the value 42.
however when I go to the indpaper.php and try use the ID variable it is empty,
echo("ID to delete: " . $ID );
why is it empty?? can anyone help??
thanx in advance
attached mail follows:
Angelo,
Try this.
$var = $_GET["ID"];
Remember variables are case sensitive. Using the above method allows you to
not have to use "Register Globals" which can be a security risk.
Hope this helps,

This file is outdated, nested classes wil NOT be supported, even as

Does anyone know any database records paginating scripts or tutorials where the search criteria is stored in the database..
similar to phpbb.com's search... I checked their codes its too advance for me .. hard to follow :(

Dear list,
I was looking through the documentation of PHP and I came across this in
ECHO's page
echo <<<END
This uses the "here document" syntax to output
multiple lines with $variable interpolation. Note
that the here document terminator must appear on a
line with just a semicolon no extra whitespace!
END;
I tried this out in my scripts and it works great! I've never been a fan of
smarty or templates in general, and this seems to be right up my alley as a
not-quite-as-good but better-than-nothing substitute.
Does anybody know the history of this method? "here document" wha? Where'd
it come from? What are its shortfalls? Is it significantly slower than the
echo " [huge block of text with php vars] "; method?
Thanks,
Micah

I don't know the history, but that method is like using:
print qq|
sdlkjsdjlks whole bunch of stuf fhere ....
|;
.. in Perl. You can replace the | with any character you want.

I suppose it came from Unix; where I first found this kind of sintax
construction. But may it was taken from other language...

Start by setting the error reporting level to max, using:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
We may need to see some representative code to help.

I did add the error_reporting, but still saw no errors...
Here's the majority of the code:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$errmsg = '';
session_start();
if( isset($username) ) {
require_once('Connections/mySql.php');
mysql_select_db($database_mySql, $mySql) or
die(mysql_error($mySql));
$rs = mysql_query("select * from employee where initials = '" .
strtoupper($username) . "'", $mySql) or die(mysql_error($mySql));
if( !(mysql_num_rows($rs)) ) { // not valid username
mysql_free_result($rs);
$errmsg = "Invalid Userid";
unset($username);
}
else { // valid user, now validate password and status
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs);
mysql_free_result($rs);
if( $row['pw'] == $password ) { // if correct password
if( $row['status'] == 'a' || $row['status'] ==
'm' ) { // if active user
$_SESSION["username"] = $username;
$username = strtoupper($username);
session_register("username");
$authlevel = $row['status']=='a'?1:2;
session_register("authlevel");
mysql_query("update employee set
lastlogin = " . (time()-10800) . " where initials = '$username'",
$mySql) or die(mysql_error($mySql));
echo "<meta http-equiv=refresh
content=\"0; url=browse.php\">";
exit;
What follows just closes out the if's and has the html for the page to
be redisplayed on an invalid userid/password.
It does accept the userid/password, validates it, but when it gets to
the second page (browse.php), it does not know the username or authlevel.
When I take a look at /tmp (it's on Linux), I see the sess_.... file(s),
but it's zero length... No variable names, no values.
Like I mentioned, I'm migrating this from a PHP 4.0.3 system to 4.2.2.
register_globals is ON. And /tmp is world writable..
I've even tried the "new" '$_SESSION["username"] = $username;' syntax,
with the same results. (Though I have to admit that I'd hate to have to
recode the entire app to change all the session_register stmts!)
Thanks for any adivce...

It looks like the coding style is a mix of register_globals "on" and "off".
Here's a summary of what it should be:
If register_globals is "On" in php.ini, then do the following:
- use session_register() to create your session variables;
- use the global variable to access (assign, print) the variable, not the
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS (or $_SESSION) array.
Example:
$myVar = 'test';
session_register('myVar');
$myVar = 'some new value';
print $myVar;
Note: the value of $myVar is what is stored to the session at the end of the
script. And, since it is stored after the script ends, its value is not
available via $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[] until the next page.
If register_globals is "Off" in php.ini, then do the following:
- do not use session_register(), etc.
- use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS (or $_SESSION) for all accesses.
Example:
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['myVar'] = 'test';
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['myVar'] = 'some new value';
print $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['myVar'];

I'm really coding only for register_globals ON. I only added the
$_SESSION statment just to test and see if that made any difference (it
didn't).
I think I'm doing just what you described:
$username = strtoupper($username);
session_register("username");
$authlevel = $row['status']=='a'?1:2;
session_register("authlevel");
I just never have anything but the zero length session (sess_...) file
-- therefore the next page has nothing passed to it...

Sorry, I am stumped. I would start out with the simplest test page I could
make, and see if you can get that to work:
page.php
<?
session_start();
$test='foobar';
session_register('test');
header('Location: page2.php');
?>
page2.php
<?
session_start();
echo "test is $test<br>";

Be sure to check your server error logs for any errors associated with the
request to page.php.
Is there an .htaccess file sitting around that has register_globals set to
'off'?

Do you have cookies enabled in your browser? If not, then two session files
would have been created in the 2-page test below, one with 18 bytes, one
with 0 bytes.

Sorry, no errors mentioning php anything anywhere... No .htaccess
either And I had to turn on register_globals in php.ini to get it to
read the web forms the way it's coded. Since turning that on now gets
data from the web form, I know it's working...
And yes, cookies are enabled, but I'm not telling it to create cookies,
just the session data...
The more I look around, the more I can't help but wonder since it worked
on 4.0.3 and now fails on 4.2.2, and even your simple example fails, it
must be either something in PHP that's broken, or something in the PHP
setup... Yes?

reverse these two lines in your test script.
register the variable first, then assign a value to it.
session_register('test');
$test='foobar';
