No matter what, you have to break something open to add code -- if
nothing else, the script.
[/snip]
The base class would (should?) be contained in its own script space. For
instance you might have the customer class in a file called class.customer.php.
You do not have to open this script to add another class or extend this class,
you would just add another file like class.customerCommercial.php that extends
the customer class. Since autoload is available now
(http://www.php.net/autoload) you would not even have to open the 'calling'
script to add an include line.

furthermore using a delegation technique like Stut demonstrated,
you may not even need to edit a file to instantiate the class and call a
method.

I understand the class concept. But, I am not familiar with autoload.
Stut also made mention of that, so I shall investigate post haste.

__autoload is pretty tight; but if you dont want to have all your class
files in the same
directory, i suggest you implement something custom.
ive seen several implementations where class names basically have filesystem
paths
embedded in them; ugh.. i think thats what those buxa project guys are
doing, but im
not certain.
also, the __autoload() function has to be available for it to be called,
which means you
will have to include the file that defines it in every file that would use
it. since my php
code is heavily oop; i just use the php.ini auto_prepend_file directive.
oh; btw, Tedd, autoload is for classes only; if you like what you see maybe
that will be
the excuse youve been looking for to get into oop w/ php :)

Make sure you read the specific steps for installing on Windows (
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php) and IIS
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis.php).
To get running with IIS (or any other web server), you need to verify that
your settings are correct and the web server knows that PHP actually exists
on the machine.
To verify that it's installed properly, put this file on your web server...
<?php echo "Hello World"; ?>
If you get "Hello World" (w/o quotes) on that page when you visit it, you
know it's working.
Under optional steps:

This is a php.ini file setting. Look for the line that says:
doc_root = <some location>
For a Windows installation, you will want it to look something like:
doc_root = C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
Of course, if you set your web server's document root to a different
location, you'll want to reflect that in this line.
I look forward to any advice!

Dear Pal,
As a PHP Programmer, I will advice you to go for an Application called WAMP
which is the combination of MS WINDOWS PLATFORM, APACHE WEBSERVER, MYSQL
DATABASE and PHP as Language. I have been working with this application and
have used it in developing different applications on PHP platform.
You can get WAMP(WINDOWS,APACHE,MYSQL,PHP) from the following link with the
related docs on how to use and operate it very well.
WAMP links:
www.wampserver.com/en/download.php
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAMP
www.puremango.co.uk/cm_wamp_97.php
If you need any other asssitance, do not hesistate to Contact me.

I am having a issue parsing an html file.
I want to pull all the data between two html tags.

both but not the data in between.

Hi.
Before I try and reinvent the wheel, I thought I'd query the list. I want to
take this string:
thisIsAStringIHave
and turn it into:
This Is A String I Have
Essentially, I want to capitalize the first letter (ucfirst) and then put a
space in front of each uppercase letter. I didn't find a PHP function that
did this (but maybe I didn't look diligently enough). My idea to accomplish
this is to create an array of capital letters. Then iterate through each
letter in the string. If a letter in the string matches a letter in the
array of capital letters, replace that letter with a space + that letter. Is
there a better way than brute-forcing this?? =D
Thanks in advance,
~Philip

How about this?
<?php
$string = 'thisIsAStringIHave';
$x = ucwords(preg_replace('/([A-Z])/', ' \\1', $string));
echo $x;
?>
