Since this has been a topic of dicussion, I figured I would add my thoughts.
I have been toying with the idea of doing a <table>-less layouts involving tabular data, calendars, etc... 

Recent threads have finally made me do it.  Let me know what you think.

http://www.cmsws.com/examples/templates/div_tables.php
http://www.cmsws.com/examples/templates/div_tables.phps (source for above)
http://www.cmsws.com/examples/templates/div_cal.php
When you turn off the styles, the calendar becomes pretty rough on the eyes, but still "accessible". 

Same thing with the tabular data structure.
But, not knowing how the various types of accessibility applications work, I am guessing that the layout to an application trying to read it should work fairly well. Let me know if I am way off the mark with my thoughts. 

If you want to respond off list, that if fine by me.

TIA



Sorry all, been a way from the list for a few weeks.  Here is another try at it.

Ok, revision #2

http://www.cmsws.com/examples/templates/div_cal_normal.php
http://www.cmsws.com/examples/templates/div_cal_daily.php
http://www.cmsws.com/examples/templates/div_cal_fancy.php

Truly their isn't much fancy about that last one.  Just a name...
Anyways, you will see that the <div> code is exactly the same between pages, but the layout is radically different because of the style in play...
I think this would be more useful then the others. With the first rendition, you had to break things on weeks/rows with the tables. I think this method is much simpler. 

Input welcome.

Thanks.

Like I said Jim, that is what you get with CSS... a more versatile design. Don't listen to naysayers. ;-) Keep it up!

Don't forget to send a copy to the list ;)

Regarding your function, I'm writing it right now, it would probably have
some issues but I think that it would work:

function somefunction($v)
{
    preg_match("#^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/(.+)$#", $v, $m);
    return array($m[1] => array($m[2] => $m[3]));
}

problem is number of "/" is unknown.
It can be alpha/beta
alpha/beta/gamma
alpha/beta/gamma/delta
...

I have a recursive procedure, and I set the time limit each time I enter it:

function rec_scan($directory, ......)
        {
        set_time_limit (1);
        
        if (is_dir($new_file))
                {
                rec_scan ($new_file, ....)
                }
        
        }


The way I read the manual, the timer should be reset each time I call 
rec_scanl, but I
seem to have to set a longer time limit than I would have anticipated, and I 
wonder if in
fact the original time limit still applies to the original invocation?

You keep calling it so as long as the execution time between each call
is < 1 second, your script will keep going.

Whenever I will delete the symlink the file will be no more accessible? If
so then what will happen if the user still downloading the file during the
deletion of it? I'm pretty sure it will cause a stop of the downloading
process at the client.

I'm also not that much sure whether this is the right solution for that.

I'm also not really sure that the apache problem is due to memory issue (I
honestly have no idea regarding it's meaning :X ).

Any further ideas will be highly appreciated!
Thank you Tom for your ideas :)

Nitsan

Hi,
Can I still link the scatter points with lines for readability? I'm not sure why an API would require a "y" for every "x". I've rarely worked with 
data sets that follow an exact set of X coords.


Then where would the point go if you had no y value?

It should simply plot the points (and connecting lines) independently. It should also consider the min/max values of all data sets and create those automatically if you don't set the min/max manually.
I wasn't saying that I lacked X values -- rather, I don't have a Y for every X of every other item. For instance, say I logged information at 10 o'clock AM for some events, while I didn't log until 10:30 for other events. I don't want to be forced to place something in 10:00 AM just to make the event spacing work.
Perhaps I'm simply asking the wrong question. I find that's often the case with me. Creating it with GD would be simple enough, as the idea isn't rocket science. I simply lack time after my current phase to do so, which is why I was hoping something intuitive existed so I could jump right to it. 


To restate, the following does *NOT* apply to any data I have:

X-TIMES(8, 9, 10, 11)
DATA-Y1(200,100,400,600)
DATA-Y2(40,23,12,84)
...as DATA-Y2 didn't log data at 8 and 10, but rather at 8:30 and 10:30. Therefore, while I certainly can use an X axis labeled from 8 am to 11 am, I need different X values for some DATA sets. I need to be able to plot completely independent X,Y values -- and still connect them with lines to see trends. Reasonable, no?

Hi,

> Reasonable, no?

Could be, but I don't follow. A point has an X coord and a Y coord,
and with a line chart you simply connect the dots (much like a
dot-to-dot). Like the charts here:

Or perhaps I'm not quite following (entirely likely) ?
