I am needing to pass 2 variables in a script I am writing. Does anyone
know how to do this?
http://www.domain.com/blog/1/2/
I know how to pass 1; I have no idea how to write a rewrite rule to pass
the 2 as well.
Thanks,
Ron

That's an Apache question, Ron, but it's a matter of using
RewriteRule to parse $1 and $2 (and so forth).

I use TemplateJinn :)
Unlike almost every other template engine out there it doesn't require
the framework be instantiated at runtime. It can be used to generate
static HTML files or it can be used in conjunction with InterJinn or
other frameworks. For instance, I use TemplateJinn to organize and build
my MediaWiki skins too. Usually when I create a template I pull out into
separate file logically distinct layout elements. For example the header
is in it's own template, any layout panes such as banner, left column,
right column, footer, and content area are also in their own file. Then,
I use a template that groups these together where I want them.
Additionally, for often use elements I will create a custom tag so that
I can just use a single tag to simpify and centralize rendering. An
example being MediaWiki's concept of a portlet. For these I just do:
<mw:portlet>
My content goes here
</mw:portlet>
This generates the wrapping divs for the portlet that enables easy CSS
customization and future proofs my design so that if ever I want more
elements to the portlet design I can just change the custom tag code and
recompile the skin. MediaWiki never has to know anything about InterJinn
or TemplateJinn or that the skin it is using was create via a template
engine.
Interestingly there was a recent thread about frameworks and someone
posted a blog where some guy did a benchmark using various frameworks.
Well "Hello World" if done in InterJinn would probably be done as a
static template compilation (one expects the developer to use the right
framework tool), and thus would be on par with Apache's static content
load (faster than PHP). In other words the benchmark is a load of crap
since if you use a tool properly there are ways to make it perform while
still having the convenience of a Framework. As such, TemplateJinn can
be leveraged via InterJinn so that static content pages use the same
layout as the entire site but for which the layout was generated at site
compilation time and can be requested subsequently without invoking the
PHP engine. My guess though, is that the guy would have implemented
"Hello World" with InterJinn via a module instead of using the
appropriate framework tool just so he could crap on frameworks some
more :)
The downside... for some anyways... of the TemplateJinn system, is that
you need to be comfortable editing your HTML by hand. There's no WYSIWYG
for custom tags. Personally, I prefer hand crafting my HTML layouts. I
find the browser itself to be the best available WYSIWYG.
Cheers,
Rob.

I guess it depends how you program, personally I like to program
everything API style nowadays, dumping out my script output/objects as
XML then transforming where needed with XSL; you can do it client side
or server side using http://php.net/manual/en/book.xsl.php - it is a
nice portable way of doing things (especially when having multiple front
ends (or using the same system for multiple sites), however as a
standard stick these variables into this bit of the (x)html then a
conventional "template engine" is what you need.

The problem with smarty is that they are still using PHP4 as their main
language so they cannot take advantage of speed improvements in PHP5.
So, my suggestion is that if you're stuck with PHP4, go with smarty,
otherwise, find another engine that's up to date.
Thank you,

That's a fair point. I've never really gone into the whole template
thing myself, as I generally develop systems from scratch with a library
of components I've built up over time.

Hi,
Not quite PHP, but since you're all web developers you may well be

Hmm, it doesn't mention which versions of the browsers it lists are
capable of displaying the canvas tag. I'm still using Firefox 2 on this
computer, and all I got was 5 horizontal bands of grey and blue.

Check your addons and such, Ashley. Gecko itself (the HTML
rendering engine used in Firefox) has supported <canvas> since 1.8 I
believe, which equated to Firefox 1.5.

What add-ons would I be looking for? I was under the impression canvas
support is built in at browser level, not plugin level.

And that impression would be correct, but some plugins extend and
alter the final result. Try disabling all plugins and addons, then
view the RGraph display. Before I left the Mozilla project, this was
pretty much the standard response, and was usually the fix.

Probably not Firefox 1.5. I have FF 1.5 without _any_ add-ons here and
all I got were the same "5 horizontal bands of grey and blue."
Opera 9.5 works ok.

Just disable the add-ons for Fx, and no such luck. Opera 9.2 doesn't
work with it either. I think it goes back to my original point that
version numbers next to the browsers that the tag will work on might be
helpful. It's a bit like saying CSS works on such-and-such browser,
without knowing what version of the browser, and what CSS property.

I'm not very familiar with the whole thing yet but after looking at
your site I find it quite interesting.
So is it possible to render 3d vector based objects in the canvas and
if so an entire 3d based website?
Are there any 3d libraries yet like OpenGL for applications?
It would be quite handy to describe 3d/2d objects or styles with a
language like CSS. Do you think that will be possible in the near
future?

The best thing I've seen so far for 3D on the web is Papervision. It's
Flash based, but the donkey work is in Actionscript 3.
The best thing I've seen so far in terms of what it's capable of is
probably http://lab.zupko.info/reflection/realz/ which is displaying
real-time reflections for an X-wing starfighter on some sort of ice cube
mirror. You have to see it to understand it. It's also damn fast as
libraries go.

That's cool! It is a little slow though, speed is not half as good as
Papervision.
I don't know why, but that works for me yet the graph doesn't.

So is a redirecting page a referrer or not? I don't know. Had no time
to translate the gibberish.
I experimented a bit with it and the most suitable solution I found
was passing the referring page on with a GET parameter ...
