well, good example. but, it is not very convenient. i saw the code, it used
iframe and refreshing the page using meta tags. but, this method doesn't
work on all browser. if i am not
mistaken have problem with IE browser.

Well it's just an example, but you could use multiple methods of
refreshing the page to try and catch more browsers, eg. the Refresh:
header, Javascript etc. It uses an IFRAME so that when the page is
refreshed it doesn't lose whatever the user may have typed into the
form. Plus the progress bar "flashing" is irritating, though I believe
that could be removed by using AJAX to drag down the latest page instead
of refreshing the whole page.

IFrames have their issues cause they're meant to be separate documents;
making the documents interact is the challenge.

But I think you're going to have to use some sort of HTTP Streaming [
http://ajaxpatterns.org/HTTP_Streaming] to get it to receive messages
interactively.
You can use IFrames like the other project, periodic Ajax pings, or a Comet
framework [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_%28programming%29>
].
There may be other methods, but those are all I've heard of.

As for Jabber, you may want to take a look at XMPP: http://www.xmpp.org/
It's the XML protocol and standards behind all Jabber development.

Also, you may try their Social mailing list:
http://www.jabber.org/discussion-lists
The entire purpose of the list is for helping enable Jabber in social
network sites.
Although, your discussion will probably need to be split up, since questions
about using Jabber in PHP generally belong on their JDev list.

FCKEditor, TinyMCE and a host of others. All JS based, so not really
relevant on a PHP list though

Whereas, SnippetMaster *is* PHP-based. Sad if it's the only one, I
thought (hoped) there would be more.

When you can't find what you want, feel free to pick up you keyboard and
create the solution. Then be sure to share it with everyone else.

Cheers,
Rob.

Perhaps I shall, in due time. As indicated earlier however, one of the
goals is something free and turnkey, so we can move on to the next
paying client. If time and money were no issue, I wouldn't have
bothered Googling up SnippetMaster in the first place. I'd have
started writing something from scratch as a first step. Alas...

Can, worms, everywhere. Try looking at the Mail::RFC822 package in PEAR.
There's also a shortcut function for just matching an Interweb email
address.

I am trying to get an order page working to submit credit card orders
and I am having trouble with the order page. the included file "HOP.php" is
in the same directory and it has both read and write permissions. I am
on a Linux and PHP 5.2.3 server. there are no PHP error messages.

I have this page of php code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4//strict.dtd".
<html>
<heading>
</heading>
<body>
<p align="center">(test a form using sample CyberSource code)</p>
    <p> </p></td>
  </tr>
  <h1 align="center"> Sample Product Name</h1>
  <p align="center">Description of Product </p>
  <?php ini_set ('display_errors', '1');
    error_reporting ('e_all'); ?>
  <?php echo "This is a PHP line BEFORE the include statement"; ?><br>
  <?php include("./HOP.php"); ?><br>
this is a HTML line AFTER the include statement<br>

when the page is processed the "include" statement is replaced with the word
"null" on the output screen and the
insertSignature3 line is not processed and the html for the form is not
generated; the page stops right after this line,
but if I comment out the "insertSignature3" line, the form is generated
correctly with the submit button.
Does anyone have an idea of what might be the problem. I have also spent
several days with the cybersource.com
technical support and they do not know what is causing this and seem as lost
as I am.
Any and all help would be appreciated.

Well, you're missing a semi-colin after the exec() statement, and the echo.

If it wasn't the syntax error, make sure the program exists with file_exists();

this is an interesting feature; i was not previously aware of it. its
something akin to javascripts concept of the execution context and the
apply(), call() methods. i think it would be better if the class that used
the $this keyword whereby it was made to refer to the instance of the
caller, have access to the protected members of the other class. i think
this would be reasonable because the client has to invoke the method on the
class that intends to use the $this keyword in the context of its caller;
essentially sanctioning access to protected members. i think the feature
would be quite awesome if that were the case and i can imagine instances
where i would use it.

well, this going to be fun.

the website i am trying to scrapped is http://www.cathayholdings.com.my/
it is a movie cinema website with very irritating design. They really tried
to imposed the
security to the point it is really not user friendly. The whole website
written in asp.

I really hate to go around looking for the show time for the latest movie
and decided to
build my own simple website to display the movie and show time from the
cathay cinema
my own way.

But, it is proven not so easy to do. The datetime buried deep inside the
online booking. Thus
user will be able to see the showtimes only when the user click the online
booking. Then, after
user click the online booking, the link open on a new window and generate a
cookies. this cookies
will be part of the URL. So basically, there is two cookie value pass to the
server. (one GET request & one in HTTP header)

Apart from that, they use javascript (AJAX?) to pull the showtime from the
server after you have to
click 3 times. OMG.. i only wan't to know the time and have to go thus whole
step.

using php curl library to simulate the request just to get the movie name
and show time list from the
server. it is possible? post your code..

** no reward, just for php programming fun..
