I'm using fpdf to generate a pdf that is
displayed in a seperate window for review prior to printing...sort of like a
print preveiw. If you can set the webserver to process .pdf files through
php it will display in the adobe reader plug in and all the client has to do
is hit print.

I have built an application similar to yours, and I have solved the printing
problem by using software from the following two companies:
http://www.nicelabel.com and http://www.namtuk.com/autoprintemail.aspx
Basically the user runs a web page which generates the required report, in
either XML or PDF format (I believe others are available) and sends an email
which identifies a particular client printer. At the client end, with any
number of PCs and printers, there is a piece of software running which looks
for these emails, and when one is received it sends the print to the
designated printer. Each report can be tailored to output to any printer,
including a specific printer for each user. This means that the user does
not see the generated report in his web browser and then have to press the
PRINT key and choose the printer before it gets printed. He simply presses a
"Generate Report" button, and within a few seconds it is sent to the
printer.
It's not free, but it's worth the money (IMHO).

Dear Nathan,
The "short_tags" is sure off but when I changed the scripts,
they're still being output to the browser.
These are the lines I added to the modules section:
#LoadModule php5_module c:/php5/php5apache2.dll#AddType application/x-httpd-php
.php#PHPIniDir "c:/php5"
I added these lines to the DirectoryIndex:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php

Nathan,
When I remove the #'s, I can't have Apache to restart. I keep
receiving error messages.

What is the error message from the windows event viewer? Most likely it
can't find a file.

Three probabilities:
1. It can't find a file that Apache need to load PHP
2. It can't find a file that PHP needs (an extension)
3. It can't find a library that an extension needs
Solutions:
1. Add c:\php5 to your path environment variable
2. Make sure you have the correct extensions dir set in php.ini
(probably c:\php5\ext)
3. Number 1 probably fixes this or copy all .dll from c:\php5 to
c:\windows (this hasn't been needed in a while) try commenting out (add
a ; to the beginning of) each extension in php.ini

Hello everybody,
I've got a problem using curl to upload a file. I want to send it to a form
written with the Django Framework.
Post Request are processed correctly, with one anomaly.
This piece of code works fine
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
But if i provide only an array no data is send to the form
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
I have read somewhere that curl sends formdata with enctype="form/mulitpart"
only if I provide an array not a string.
If I add "@filename" to the $data variable (string or array) it does not
send the file to the form.
Each example I have found in the internet so far did not work.
Any support or idea?
Thanks for anything!!!!

I do not use the Curl functions directly. When possible I use fsockopen
as alternative and use this HTTP client class to submit any kind of HTTP
requests. Take a look at the test_http_post.php to see how simple is to
submit form with one or more file uploads.

I don't understand it. index.php should be a file and indeed it's a file, so
what does /index/index after it mean? There's no index directory under
directory where index.php resides.

Hi Leledumbo,
what are you talking about? I think you are confused on this:
http://www.domain.com/index
or this
http://www.domain.com/index.php
Yes this is a Front Controller situation (Pattern). Please show the Zend
Framework or other Frameworks that implements this Pattern (maybe the
Command Pattern too ).

Could you explain more on that? I've never seen anything like this in any
tutorial I've found on the net. I'm using kohana framework. So, if I have
index.php/index/index where does it actually go?

it goes to index.php , apache disregards what's after index.php Kohana the
reads that string, and loads the appropriate Controller / method. You can
hide the index.php from your users via apaches mod_rewrite. Refere to the
Kohana or Codeigniter doccumentation

Is this web server specific? I can't get it to run under Microsoft IIS, but
it works flawlessly in Apache.
