I used to encounter the same problems with reporting in our business
software. You can generate reports and spit out HTML in a new window
and have the user print the report from the browser, but that has many
drawbacks. It only works with simple data sets, its difficult (or
impossible) to control page breaks, lack of precision placing, etc.
Now I use FPDF to generate PDF reports (http://www.fpdf.org/). Its
free, easy to use, and pretty flexible. It allows you to do precision
placement on a page, add headers, footers, etc, etc, etc. Be sure to
check out the "Scripts" section, its got a bunch of useful tips for
expanding functionality of the classes. There is another commerical
product out there (can't thin of the name right now) that is supposed
to be faster, but FPDF is pretty fast in our applications.
I also use the JPGraph package for generating graphs
(http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/). This is *really* slick. Its free
for personal use, about $125 for commercial use. You need to install
some additional PHP libraries (JPEG, PNG, GD at least), but its fast
and easy. I love playing around with this product because the
possibilities for what you can do are almost endless.

The commercial product you might be thinking off might be Crystal Reports:
http://www.businessobjects.com/. I have not worked with their product since
their version 7, but I remember that if you wanted a report in HTML what
they did is send zillions of absolutely positioned <div>s with width and
height spec and assembled the page from those. It did not require any
plug-in installed on the client side. It used the page-break-after
or -before CSS attribute for page breaks.

Hi guys,
I have to say, I've written so many scripts that had file upload functions
included,
but this time something strange is happening.
The script passes the IMAGE_TYPE check, and picture's name stores in the
database (so I guess the picture should have been stored in the dir.), but
when I look at the ftp - there's no picture in the upload directory.
Chmod of the directory is 777;
Here it is:
$realdir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/img/';
$uploadfile = $realdir. basename($_FILES['postbilde']['name']);
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['postbilde']['tmp_name'],
$uploadfile)) {
$put_name_en = $_POST['subject_en'];
if (!empty($put_name_en)) {
$image = basename($_FILES['postbilde']['name']);
$check_image =
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/img/'.$image;
if( (exif_imagetype("$check_image") ==
IMAGETYPE_JPEG)||(exif_imagetype("$check_image") == IMAGETYPE_GIF) ){
$put_img = $image;
}else{
$img_root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/img/';
$kick = $img_root.$image;
unlink($kick);
$put_img = '';
}
mysql_query("INSERT INTO data (subject_en, img)
VALUES ('$put_name_en', '$put_img')") OR die(mysql_error());
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="0;URL=update.php">';
}
} else {
echo "The upload was unsuccessful !";
}
Sorry for my bad english,
Thank you in advance,
Lab.

Are you using sablotron in PHP 4? Or the domxslt support in PHP 4? Or
already PHP 5?
If you use one of the later, you could use
http://exslt.org/str/functions/encode-uri/index.html, this should be
available in libxslt
With PHP 5, you can also call PHP functions from within xslt:

Rather than get into an open ended discussion/argument, perhaps it would
be best to ask the community why ASP.NET is better? Perhaps for the
usage they envision is _is_ better, perhaps not.
I have found over the past 32 years that passionate
discussions/arguments over what language is "better" than another to be
less than constructive anyway. Better to just do your work and let it
speak for itself.

My meaning about this:
ASP .NET is not just a scripting language but more a plattform for Enterprise
(web) applications. It really has many more features then PHP and i would
compare ASP .NET more with JAVA/J2EE. I don't know much about ASP .NET since
i am more familiar with PHP and maybe some little bit JAVA. I think it is
better to compare with a scripting language like Python or Ruby. You could
compare the old versions of ASP with PHP because this was nearly the same. I
never have coded with ASP since i very rarely touch a windows box but it
looked like VisualBasic code.

It's a very biased one and intends to misguide as a marketting gig. I'd like
you to read healthy articles that truely compare. BTW
ASP.net<http://ASP.net>can not be compared with PHP5 because they are
totaly different.
It's like comparing Apples and Oranges. PHP can be compared to ASP not
ASP.net <http://ASP.net> because it's totaly a different thing. HTH. Been
there, done that.

Okay, please read my post again!
I would not compare PHP with ASP .NET. This is what i wrote. I found that link
to Oracle within 5 seconds via Google and did not read the whole text but
Reynier Perez Mira could understand the difference with it.
Please read carefully before reply and please don't top post!

I did not say that you compared! Sorry if I put it that way. I said the
article at Oracle does that.
In all the cases that article does not fairly illustrate anything. It's a
merketing trick for novices!

Okay, but it defenitly says this:
<snip from=http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hull_asp.html>
The latest incarnation of ASP, ASP.NET, is not completely backward-compatible
with previous versions of ASP, as it is a complete rewrite of the software.
Previous ASP technology actually has a lot more in common with PHP than with
ASP.NET, which is a complete framework for building Web applications. One of
the principal features of this model is the flexibility to choose your
programming language. ASP.NET works with scripted languages such as VBScript,
JScript, Perlscript, and Python, as well as compiled languages such as VB,
C#, C, Cobol, Smalltalk, and Lisp. The new framework uses the common language
runtime (CLR); your language source is compiled into Microsoft Intermediate
Language code, which the CLR then executes.
</snip>
This text says, that ASP .NET is a complete framework for building web
applications. All the other stuff maybe is some marketing strategy for
selling Oracle software but i don't take care about that.
BTW, i think there is some more usefull information in this article (Anyway, i
will not buy Oracle software).
Sorry for starting this flamewar. This was not my goal... ;-)

.NET is a framework, not a language. Many other languages qualify as
.NET languages besides just C# and VB.net. So if you don't like the
Microsoft ones you can try others:

If postgres is running on the same machine as php there isn't much point
in using encryption of the connection. You are probably better off using
domain sockets instead of a network connection in this case.

If you think it's easy based on the guide, you're probably fine,
particularly if you think the practice questions were easy. Those
questions were ones that were thrown out due to being too tricky or
difficult, so the questions on the exam are more straightforward.
I posted the answers to Zend's self test (plus explanations), in case
you fine it helpful:

<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Then I have this script (form.php):
<?php
foreach ($_POST as $key => $val)
echo "$key = $val\n";
?>
If I simply submit the form empty, all I get back from the script is
the text input $key. The radio button doesn't show up. Why is that and
how can I have it show up? (the radio input does show up once one of
the radios is checked, but I need it to show up when empty as well.)

Hi,
You solve the problem yourself: "the radio input does show up once one
of the radios is checked". When it is unchecked is isn't set...if you
need to assign it a value in any circumstances you should test it with
<?php $chkbox1 = (isset($_POST["radio_test"])) ? true : false; ?> for
example (of course you may omit the ternary operator...isset() will do
the same).

That's because Radio Buttons and Check Boxes do not return anything if not
checked or selected.
So you gotta explicitly do it ur self. That is u gotta check for it's
validity and non-empiness.
e.g. in ur scenario
if(!isset($_POST['radio_test'])) { //print out all the options unselected }
else
{ // print the value and show the rest empty in the report }

One way would be to have a selection "None" and have it selected by
default. As in,
None <input type="radio" checked name="radio_test" value="None" />
Or you can just do something like,
<?php
if(!isset[$_POST['radio_test']))
echo "radio_test = none\n";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $val)
echo "$key = $val\n";
?>

And if you didn't want it to show to the user (because they have to
make a choice anyway) . . . you can use this css:
input[value="None"]
{
display: none;
}
You should then always have a value to play with in PHP, and the user
doesn't see any extra clutter.

which unfortunately currently only works in a couple of browsers

Hi
I am using php and apache 2 on linux for a web
application.
Don't know if this is off topic but I don't know where
else to ask.....
I am looking for some place relatively cheap that
could provide hosted authentication services along
with time based authenticater fobs like those found
from securID, verisign etc.
Ideally I would like to hook this into my current
login page with the hosted server returning a a yes/no
for a specific user.
Anyone know of a company that does this sort of thing?
I am in the UK and ideally would like to find
someplace nearby or with good links UK/Europe/N
America/India
Many thanks for any pointers.
Jack

I'd generate an MD5 sum on a file you know is valid, and compare it against
that in your script.
