Yep, that's all there is to it.

Personally I'd just go for C - that way I can just distribute a binary
and be done with it. No runtime, no JVM, no mono etc.

It may do. But there's nothing wrong with making it as hard as possible
to do so. Most people have better things to do than try to reverse
engineer a piece of code.
Consider:
1. People who buy code will generally do so to solve a problem that they
have in the process of making money.
2. Reverse engineering takes time, and therefore diverts their attention
away from the process of making money.

and what if you want to switch sql server from mysql to oracle or
whatever? in propel, you change 1 line in the config, you don't have to
regenerate or rewrite anything.
the base classes are useful too because if you change your schema, you
simply regenerate them and all your extensions remain the same in the
child classes.

not at all. you can build the criteria for the select and then run a
doSelectRS method which gives you only the result set in an array, no
objects involved.

yeah, sure. however there is a payoff between efficiency and portability
and maintainability, and of course not all these orms have the same
level of these. choose the one that fits your needs best.

Metastorage generates totaly database independent code . You don't need
to regenerate the code to support multiple databases nor have fat base
classes to access your database or do any other ORM operations.
Currently it generates code that uses Metabase database abstraction
layer, although it can support other database abstraction layers. It
supports many databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL
server, SQLite, etc..
Metabase also generates a separate class for installing or upgrading
your database schema. If you change the definition of you objects, you
just need to call that class to install, upgrade, downgrade your
database schemas, safely without loosing any data that was already in
the database.
This is something very secure, as it does not do any schema changes if
the underlying database does not support certain things you want to
change. If you ask for a change that is not possible, it simply fails
without changing anything. It is not that error prone migrations method
of Ruby on Rails, that you have to write "SQL" manually to do your
migrations, and if you made a mistake, your database data is lost.

That is not exactly what I am talking about. Metastorage has an Object
Query Language (OQL) that lets you express whatever query conditions you
want. It generates PHP code with the necessary SQL queries you need. You
do not have to build any queries programatically at run-time.
The generated code can return full SQL statements if you want to execute
them separately by some other application code, but usually I just use
the generated report classes directly, as they take care of many things
like pagination, so I do not have to deal with SQL directly. That is one
of the great benefits of ORM.
With Metastorage I just do not have to deal with SQL manually nor I am
forced to retrieve all as objects, not even when I am retrieving just a
few variables of multiple classes. I do not have to SQL joins manually.
That would be walking backwards in productivity.

Exactly. I choose to develop my own because nothing that existed in PHP
matched my needs and code quality code requirements. Of course doing it
yourself is an expensive measure because it takes time and skill to
reach a mature solution. I have been developing Metastorage for 6 years.
It is very mature and reliable, but there is always room for improvement.

schema versioning is cool, AFAIK it is missing from propel but of course
it can transform your schema without data loss.

in propel you do not touch SQL too ;)
you initialize an object of class Criteria and define whatever you want.
e.g.
$c = new Criteria();
$c->add('whatevercolumn', 'whatevervalue');
of course it can do much more, joins and everything you may need

I too had thought about implementing my own ORM, because none of them
fits my needs exactly, however I don't have the time for that... so I
use whatever I find the best at the moment.

indeed - I wasn't discounting his idea, if it works it could be very handy
for situtation where you don't have any server access.

is there anyway to generate this into xls file w/o using fopen & fwrite to
the server? my goal is to have a link after the table and user can click
on that link and a save window pop up to allow user to save to local disk.
appreciate very much for any input.

Yes - have a link like this:
<a href="<yourscript.php?parameters>">Get XLS file</a>
in yourscript.php, you evaluate the parameters given and build the XSL
file as output:
header("Content-Type: application/excel");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"filename\"");
print
.

done.

Somthing like this works ok, you can further refine it for the purpse
you want.
<?php
$q= mysql_query("select * from table");
$count = mysql_num_fields($q);
//print field names
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
$header .= mysql_field_name($export, $i)."\t";
}
//print data
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($q, MYSQL_NUM))
{
$table[] = implode("\t", $row);
}
$table= $header . "\r\n" . implode("\r\n", $table);
//set headers that prompt user for download
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");

Hiep,
You should also put all of the code you can into one block. Each
time you <? open and close ?> it will take longer to load. Not
noticeably on a single page with one user accessing it, but with full
sites and many simultaneous users, it will be noticeable. This is
because PHP is "stepping in and out" of parse mode. So simply
concatenate that code as follows:
<tr><td>Title></td><td>Author</td></tr>
<?
$sql = "select title,author from book where title != null and
author != null";
$rs = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)) {
echo "<tr><td>".$row[0]."</td><td>".$row[1];."</td></tr>\n";
}
?>
<tr><td><a href="">Download Into Excel File</a></td></tr>

i already got this method, but the problem that i have is the parameters
is mysql statement and it's very long. i don't think a good idea to pass
this in the url. also, the page that i'm working on is a search page,
therefore the mysql statement is very complicate and long. that's why i
don't want to pass via url.
is there way to do within this page???

I have actually done what you are looking for... Here is how I do it:
On the search page, write the search phrase into a session variable so
you can access it from another page and then run this code:
<?PHP
$sortOrder = $_SESSION['order'];
$search = $_SESSION['search'];
$select = "SELECT * FROM ".$table." WHERE blah blah blah blah blah"";
$export = mysql_query($select);
$fields = mysql_num_fields($export);
for ($i = 0; $i < $fields; $i++) {
$header .= mysql_field_name($export, $i) . "\t";
}
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($export)) {
$line = '';
foreach($row as $value) {
if ((!isset($value)) or ($value == "")) {
$value = "\t";
}
else
{
$value = str_replace('"', '""', $value);
$value = '"' . $value . '"' . "\t";
}
$line .= $value;
}
$data .= trim($line). "\n";
}
$data = str_replace("\r", "", $data);
if ($data =="") {
$data ="\n(0) Records Found!\n";
}
header("Content-type: application/x-msdownload");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=Export.xls");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
print "$header\n$data";
?>
What that does is it writes the current search pattern into an excel
file called Export.xls and downloads it to your harddrive. I am in the
process of re-writing it to work as a function, but have had mixed
results so far. I'm learning functions right now :)
If you know functions, and want to take a stab at re-writing it, I can
provide you with the code I have so far :)

How are you passing the parameters to THIS page? The solution Per
presented would either require the same parameter list as the current
page (if going to a URL dedicated to sending the output in the format
you are using for the xls) or one additional parameter to the current
page if you the current page is written to vary the style of the
output based on that parameter's value.

thank you for the suggestion, but here is another problem that i try to
avoid saving mysql statement to query from the table again.
let say that user searched and found 10 records,
in the meantime, other users may change any of these 10 records,
so if we saved mysql statement and re-run mysql statement again, the
result might be different. to prevent this problem, i only want to
download records that returned on this page only.
thanks,

This is more of a caching issue - then you determine how long you want
to keep the results for, and only re-run the mysql query when the
results have gone stale.

There really isn't a way to do this. Maybe you could do some
get_defined_vars hackery, but that really isn't practical.

Hey tedd,
What is the end result you want? for debugging and checking variable
contents, I've simply: echo "this_variable = $this_variable";
But that was just for debugging, in a large environment, it could be
quite tedious to type all that out...

At some point or the other you will have to define $this_variable as
$this_variable, so at that point you will have access to the string
'this_variable'. Even if you define it using variable vairables or
within or for each loop (e.g. get_definied_vars, $_POST) you will have
an oppertunity to get the 'this_variable' string.

If you dynamically created the variable:
${ 'something' . '_' . 'somethingElse' };
then you'd have access to it via the variable name parts.

That's why I threw the ;-P at the end. Not only to indicate that

This is what I meant, as was posted just yesterday by someone (Jim Lucas?)
for ( $i = 0 ; $i < 20 ; $i++ )
{
$theVariableAsString = 'something_' . $i;
${ 'something' . '_' . $i } = "Assign something here";
}
String value available here -> $theVariableAsString.
I have no idea why tedd wants to have the string value of the variable nor
how he will use it.

<?

$data = fgets($handle);
echo $data."\n";

So long as you don't do a while() loop or something similar,
fgets() will only read the first line.

in that case why not read the file as an array of lines and display the

its friday, and late, and I'm still at work, so my mind is not on the
top now... :)

Zoltan, if you're sticking around, zip me a message off-list. I
have a favor to ask of you.

The first possible issue is that the "newline" character[s] is
different for Mac, Windows, and Linux...
So if your file is one format, and fgets is expecting the other, it
won't do what you want.
The next is that if your code is wrong, and is showing it all as one
line, it PROBABLY means you are using a browser, and you PROBABLY
aren't using nl2br to change the newlines (assuming again that nl2br
looks for the right OS newline). Another option is "View Source" in
the browser to see the newlines.

Wait, this might not be the real Lynch, but his new AI instead, not
programmed yet for bottom posting :)

They are not the same file at all, unless you use really old Windows
that only let you have 3 characters in the extension, or some other
program is converting to the 8.3 filename...

If you save the same file with two different names, the contents will
remain the same. How the different extensions are interpreted at
runtime will depend on your browser config.

In zenCart, you are supposed to put your modified file[s] into a
different include dir, and keep the original source pristine.
It worked pretty well for me.
The biggest problem I had was that the payment gateway had a "test"
checkbox that was supposed to do something different in the code, but
it didn't, so I ended up hacking that directly anyway -- it was too
broken to worry about not messing it up... :-v
I can't say I've ever liked any of the full-blown shopping cart apps
out there...

You probably do not have GD installed...
Does <?php phpinfo();?> list "GD" as one of your extensions?
If not, install it.
