I have a TON of forms that I have to populate, can I make a PDF file using
Acrobat Professional, and then use PHP to populate those forms and have text
inserted into the pre-made text fields that I made using Acrobat? And if
so, what is the best tool for that? I'd prefer to do it for free, but
spending $$ is fine too.
Thanks

My only frustration was that didn't support multiple tables on one row.

fpdf will only draw your documents, there is no way to use it with
forms. and i don't know any way to process pdf forms in php, but i
didn't really need it yet.
if you find any solutions, please post them.

I don't know about PHP, however, in other languages, exception throwing and
catching is expensive.
As Curt put it, exception handling should be reserved for truly exceptional
cases:
- DB connection failure
- SOA connectivity failure
General errors like the user not completing a form, should be handled as
regular error conditions.
Hope this helps.

Hi all
I have need to simulate the role of a web browser by submitting the following code.
<form name="form1" action="propsearch.pl" method="post">
<textarea rows="12" cols="70" name="msg">GREENc</textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Heres my PHP code that got from the curl function.
<?php
$url = "www.example.com";
$page = "/cgi-bin/ecco/scripts/h2h/glo/propsearch.pl";
$post_string = "msg=GREE01";
$header = "POST ".$page." HTTP/1.0 ";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0 ";
$header .= "Content-type: application/PTI26 ";
$header .= "Content-length: ".strlen($post_string)." ";
$header .= "Content-transfer-encoding: text ";
$header .= "Request-number: 1 ";
$header .= "Document-type: Request ";
$header .= "Interface-Version: Test 1.4 ";
$header .= "Connection: close ";
$header .= $post_string;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);

Any assistant would gratefully be appreciated.

I've been spending some time to find performance pros and cons, but so
far haven't had any real luck.
Can someone on this list say which is better than the other, and also
why, when it comes to these kinds of syntax:
1.
php code
?>
<html statements><?= $variable ?></end tag>
<tag><?= $var2 ?></end tag>
<?
more php code
2.
php code
echo "<tag>$variable</end tag>";
echo "<tag>$var2</end tag>";
more php code
In both cases, some processing is done, not that 'echo' uses a lot of
cpu time, but still...
On the other hand, there are more jumps in and out for the interpreter
in the first example...
I'd love some thoughts on this.

With the release of OpenOffice.org 2 came the ability to export .odt to
.xhtml. As most probably know, the OOo .odt native file format is basically
gzipped XML. Also OOo comes with .xsl files which are used to transform the
.odt file to .xhtml files when they are exported.
Does anyone know of any projects being worked on which use the OOo .xsl XSLT
files to transform .odt files to .xhtml files? The type of code I'm
specifically looking for would be an API written in PHP 5 that can basically
take any .odt file and spit out a .xhtml file using the .xsl files that ship
with OOo (can be found in share\xslt\export\xhtml in the root install dir on
a Windows install, not sure about Linux).
Does anyone know if any code is out there to do this, or if any projects
exist to address this need. I've done a little Google research on this
topic, but haven't found much, so I figured someone on this list might know
where to point me for more info, or can point me to people who are working
on this. If no one is doing something like this is anyone interested in
working on the with me? Thanks for any replies.
I'm not an XML whiz, and frankly don't want to be one, so I'm hoping there
is some code out there that already addresses this.

Hi,
I do prefer the first style programming after longer time in programming
PHP. I like the idea of keeping HTML and PHP code separate for cosmetic
purpose as well as mantainance. Actually a code with PHP only, I mean really
with NO HTML code in it, is more portable and easy to mantain. As for
performance I don't know, but a difference is present for sure. Actually I
never benchmarked the performance of the two styles, but wanted to give my
10 cents for the coding style :)

Yep, I like it too, for the same "cosmetic" reasons.. But now I've
become involved in a project where extreme performance is a key issue,
so of course I'd like to have some input on the situation...

Hi...
I was wondering if there are any template systems out there that are fairly
easy to use (that don't require hours and hours reading books) and that are
fairly good as well? I need one also that works with pear packages since I
use html_quickform a lot. I considered checking out smarty but wasnt for
sure if that one would be the best.
attached mail follows:
Hi,
Templating systems are really a matter of taste. You have a few options,
depending also on the paradigm you want to use (Model2, MVC ... maybe read
up on that as that is good general knowledge).
Also, please check the archives as this question has already been discussed
at length ;-)
Anyway, I will give my 5c worth, when I say that I have gotten to like
HTML_Template_Flexy (a pear package) quite a lot. This paradigm forces you
to do almost all of your logic stuff on the php side, whilst nicely
separating html and php code (you can really end up with some pretty
straight forward html pages, with a little Flexy code - cool things is also
that you can use Flexy code inline (as in <p flexy:if=""></p>) makes for
neat code!)
Another plus for Flexy is that it is not bloated like Smarty. Fair enough,
Smarty is pretty cool, but it just gives you too many ropes to hang yourself
with.
Not sure how easy integration with Quickform is ... should not be a problem
as most things happen on the code side anyway.
Hope that helps.

var $DbUser;

function Update(...) {
//this function can take as few as 1 argument or as many as php will allow

$args will then be a regular array of any/all the arguments passed to
the function.

Each of your html input elements must have a different name, otherwise the php code will only see the last one.
Consider a simple foreach loop to generate your html input elements, e.g.,
$report= ""; $i= 0;
foreach($array as $key=> $value){
$report .= "<p><input type=\"text\" name=\"input$i\" value=\"\"></P>";
other stuff as needed
$i++;
}//end
echo $report;
I'm not sure I see why you need the JAVA script. Seems like you can let the user poke in everything and then provide a
submit button to post everything.
Your $_POST will contain all the results. e.g.,
$value1= $_POST['input1'];
$value2= $_POST['input2'];
etc.
Another simple foreach loop can be used to extract the input values.
