It functionality is awesome, you can integrate your own modifications to the
IC core without any problems at all, for more confortable you even don't
have to use a template system (but I'm pretty sure that you can integrate
Smarty to IC) and write your template with a pseudo code, CI supports <?php
?> code inside your template!

What I love about CodeIgniter is that, while some frameworks obfuscate
my thinking, CodeIgniter clarifies my thoughts, structure and overall
architecture. MVC programming is no longer some mysterious theoretical
entity - it just makes sense with CodeIgniter. Plus it doesn't tell you
how to do something - it just gives you the structure for you to decide
and do whatever you want. And it's so light I'd barely call it a
framework - more like a kick-start. I could wax lyrical about this all
day. Maybe I should write an ode...

Umm I suggest you try this code:

index.php:

<?php
$formContainer = <<<EOF
       <form ACTION="index.php?this=is&awsome=dont&you=think" METHOD="POST">
       <input type='text' name='check' value='' /><br />
       <input VALUE="submit" name='submitted' TYPE="submit"></form>
EOF;

if (!isset($_POST['submitted']))
   echo $formContainer;
else
{
   echo "<xmp>";
   var_dump($_GET);
   echo "\n\n\n";
   var_dump($_POST);
   echo '</xmp>';
   echo $formContainer;
}
?>

I sometimes do things similar to this.  I normally use it when I am opening
a new page via a javascript function and want to pass several values to use
or check in the new page.

I too like CakePHP. I have coded in PHP for quite a while andunderstand OOP and OOP in PHP, however I don't really have anyexperience building sites or apps from scratch using OOP/MVC.
Cake or a framework makes it much quicker and easier. For those thatneed total freedom to do things the way they want but need somepre-built functionality to make it quicker, Zend seems to be the choice.I consider Zend to be more of a class library like PEAR only moreconsistant. For me, I had no habits/best practices or preferred waywhen I started with OOP/MVC so Cake was great. It has a certainstructure and uses certain conventions and code generation which makesit very quick and easy. The main drawback is the docs.

Hi,

There are many sites explaining how to build new site etc but I'd like
to hear what You suggest. (about how to plan whole thing and how to
write separate parts which can be put together later)

I have build many small sites for myself(site to organise class
assembly which is like yearly convention..it has user administration
etc) but they all are anything else than OOP. But now, I need to help
with creating one bigger site which should be OOP. That site should
include user management(each user has it's own profile), each user can
post job and other adds in different categories. (there will be many
categories for example 'work,cars,training,apartments'.)
And users profile should show ads posted by himself.
Logic itself is simple:
1) unregistered user:
    a) I go to site, I see categories (work offers, apartment offers,
training offers, etc)
    b) I click on category I'm interested in
    c) I see ad that I'm interested in
    d) I click on it
    c) I see detailed information about it(which company posted it etc)
    d) at bottom page I see form where I can contact with ad author
2) registered user
    a) I go to site
    b) I log in, my profile page opens
    c) there I can see ads posted by me..also I can see how many times
ad is viewed etc
    d) i click on link 'Post new ad'
    e) there i choose category and probably Ajax helps to load
specific fields(for example if I choose 'Cars' as category, then
fields like      'year,transmission,color, etc' will appear.

That is short summary what that site should do. It seems quite big for
me so I'd be happy to hear any guidelines from people who have built
big sites.

Creating forms, posting data, user login etc, these things are not
problem... problem is: how to build the whole thing aimed to OOP and
use with Smarty to keep things organized.

I'm not sure but I have idea about what things I should do first:

1) think and write down any function that needs to be done(for example
different validations, functions for showing/posting form etc)
2) plan and create database?
3) create database class which handles database connection
But what next? Or am I starting all wrong?

Big thanks in advance,

I didn't find CodeIgniter difficult to learn - a few hours of reading
and a few hours of playing. I was comfortable within one evening.

The license for CodeIgniter is pretty simple. Since it's unlikely you'll
ever need to mess with the framework itself - you can override any
object - I don't see it's modification clause really coming into play.

Was Sie hier macht is nicht richtig. Sie schreiben $out nach $File, weil$out mußt zum $fp geschrieben werden.
$fp Ist die Remote Host, und $out ist die Request. Die ervolg ist das$fp gibt Sie ein Response, und konnen mit fgets() oder fread()ausgelesen worden.
Wieso, $tmp = fgets($fp); Und weiter Sie konnen $tmp ins $File schreiben.
fclose($File);

fclose($fp);
Vielleicht ist es nicht gar richtig, aber Sie konnen das doch testen.

Single quotes do still recognise \' and \\ though, for getting a
single quote and backslash. IIRC (which isn't likely) they're the only
two.

Because sometimes it is nice to do this:

$onclick = ' onclick="..."'

Not having to escape my single tick makes it more readable.

I read one of Ilia's presentation slides saying this was a myth.
Strings probably aren't the bottleneck.

I'm trying to upload the file. It's showing me successfully uploaded.
But it's not able to move from temp directory to my defined directory

my code:

if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'])) {
   move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'], $myfilename);
   echo "File ". $_FILES['myfile']['name'] ." uploaded successfully.\n";
} else {
 echo "File uploading error";
}

Thanks in advance.

Is the directory you're moving to writable by your web server?  If you
don't know, try making a separate script that tries
var_dump(is_writable('/path/to/uploads'));

it's writable.

Hello,
I'm using some php-classes which worked fine with php-5.0.4. Now Itried to upgrade to php-5.2.6, but the classes give a lot oferrors. If I set
error_reporting(E_ALL);
I see messages like
Notice: Undefined property: FastTemplate::$main in /whereever/inc.template.php on line 293Notice: Undefined property: current_session::$cust_id in /whereever/inc.init.php on line 117In inc.template.php there are a lot of calls like $this->$key. Ininc.init.php there are calls like $session->cust_id.
to fix these errors, you would need to modify the code so it doessomething like this.
where it calls $this->$key you need to check and make sure that $keyexists before you trying call for it.
So something like this would work.

if ( isset( $this->$key ) ) {
        $this->$key;
} else {
        $this->$key = null;
}
You didn't show any context in which you are using the above code.So I don't know what will actually work in your situation. Show alittle more code that includes the method in which $this->$key iscalled.
You will want to look at using the Overloading feature of PHP5.Check out this page for overloading examples
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php
Take note of the __get() and __set() methods. The __get methodchecks to see if the key exists before it tries working with it.
Ok, I'm trying to understand the point to using these overloadingmethods.
<?php
$obj = new ClassThatUsesOverloading ();
$obj->hi = 'Hi';
$obj->bye = 'Bye';

echo $obj->hi, ' ', $obj->bye;
// Output: Hi Bye
?>

You could have done that or you could do the following.....

<?php
$obj = new ClassThatDoesntUseOverloading ();
$obj->setHi('Hello');
$obj->setBye('Bye Bye!');

echo $obj->hi(), ' ', $obj->bye();
// Output: Hello Bye Bye!
?>
The 2nd way seems more *OOP* than the first - weird to explain. Iguess what I'm wanting to know is.... why would you use overloading(in PHP)? The only reason I can think of is to avoid having to create/use accessors. Please help me understand! But please be nice! =D
Thanks,

What has changed in php-5.2.x so that these calls don't work anymore? What is the new, required form to use objects in a similarmanner (unfortunately I have no ressources to code these classesfrom scratch)? Thanks.
Kind regards

Hello,

with PHP 5.0.x this two lines of code returned "{TEST}":

$var = "TEST";
print "\{$var}";

But with PHP 5.2.x, the same code returns "\{TEST}"

If I remove the backslash:

$var = "TEST";
print "{$var}";

then just "TEST" is return (without any brackets).

What is the recommended way for PHP 5.2.x to work with that? It looks abid odd if I have to write


print "{". $var. "}";

instead.


Regards
Marten

Yeah, that is weird. I'd write:

    echo '{'.$var.'}';

Cheers,
