This is an article that I wrote long ago (it needs some severe updating)
that speaks to a lot of the phases of documentation. Any application
typically has several audiences; developers, administrators, supporters
and users are just an example of the audiences that can be involved.
Each audience requires their own unique set of documentation. Hope this
helps.

I'll second the cosmic radiation. We are currently in the low activity portion
of the 11 year sunspot cycle[1], and predictions of the next high are lower
than most cycles recorded over the past century[2]. So that one is not an easy
sell right now.

Hello my name is Paulo Carvalho and I am struggling with the following:
I am building a website with basic CMS functionality.
My problem is that in one of the pages I am using Easyslider to display
small comments about the clients.
These comments are divided in 3 per slide.
ex:(<li>
<p>comment 1/p>
<p>comment 1/p>
<p>comment 1/p>
</li>)
Now I am struggling with the following:
I am pulling the comments from the db and I would like to know if i can
split that array in 3's (array_slice) perhaps?
My goal is to within a foreach loop output 3 comments within a
slide(wrapped in <li>), so first 3 would output:
(<li>
<p>comment 1/p>
<p>comment 2/p>
<p>comment 3/p>
</li>)
Then another 3
(<li>
<p>comment 4/p>
<p>comment 5/p>
<p>comment 6/p>
</li>)
Thank in advance for all the replies.

I'm a hacker, so this is a HACK:
<?php
$data="(<li>
<p>comment 1</p>
<p>comment 2</p>
<p>comment 3</p>
</li>)";
$lines=explode("\n",$data);
array_shift($lines);
array_pop($lines);
print_r($lines);
?>
I'll leave it to the big boys to debate and devise more elegant
solutions.

This looks like a job for modulo man.
I was hoping to simply give you a list of examples from google, but I couldn't
find any that showed exactly what you were trying to do, so... I wrote this
article for my site. Let me know if you have any questions.

I have a form which has the following: ( quick clip )
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post"
action="http://www.abc.com/processing/process_form.php"; onSubmit="return
preSubmit();">
<label>
<input name="area_interest" type="checkbox" id="field13"
value="Peer Guide" />
Peer Guide</label>
<br />
<label>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
When the form runs process_form.php it emails the content and has several
other fields from the form, but I have some fields like the one above that
don't show up in the result. The script that builds the message looks like
the below
$temp_message .= "Area(s) of Interest: ".
$_POST['area_interest'] ."\n";
Is there anything obvious that I am missing?
Is there a way for me to show all the fields from the form, and their field
names which are received by process_form?
Thanks!
Jack

Check boxes (assuming you have more than one in the set) are generally
coming in as an array. You can see this by running this
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre>";
to see the entire post array

If it's a single checkbox and it's not not checked, nothing will come through.
However, if it is a series of checkbox with the same name then you will need to
do this:
<input name="area_interest[]" type="checkbox" id="field13" value="Peer Guide" />
Notice I changed area_interest to area_interest[]. This way any checkboxes
that are checked will be passed as an array.
Take care,
Floyd

+1 for Bastien; print_r() and var_dump() are the keys to debugging.
See http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10240608
for a decent overview of same.
And I guess you could reinvent the wheel, or actually process your
POSTed data, with foreach():
// Roll your own print_r()
foreach ($_POST as $p => $q) {
echo $p. "-".$q. "<br />";
}
// Or do_something_useful()
foreach ($_POST as $p => $q) {
do_something_useful($p,$q);
}

Hi gang,
I use a Project Management System (PM) that generates emails to my
account. I can REPLY to that email and it will be inserted into the
PM. I believe the ID is in the subject. I assume the email is sent to
a specified email and there is a CRON JOB that runs a PHP script to
query and parse the new emails and insert them in to DB.
Obviously a cool feature, that I want to use in a few of my web apps.
Anyone have any tips/resource links or a product I can use to do this.
Any feedback is appreciated!
Don

This article from evolt is a great place to start

Reading from an email box is not tough.

Oh yeah one other thing that confused me at first...
The various articles talk about having PHP installed as CGI, but all modern PHP
installs include PHP command line interface (CLI). This serves the same
purpose. No CGI required.

Weird! I just got back on this list by accident last night and I just happen to
be writing one of these this moment.
The general scheme is:
-Create a mail alias that points to a PHP cli script.
-Write a script that parses out the DB stuff you need etc. (How hard can that
be!?)
No need for cron or anything unless you expect heavy traffic and need to manage
a queue.
It is a really cool feature. Next I need to handle attachments.
Google has some good stuff on this.
Good luck, Phred

Hello,
I need some way to interact with a POSIX message queue from PHP. I am
already aware that the PHP library provides for manipulation of Sys V style
queues (msg_get_queue(), etc.), but I cannot change the queue. I am hoping
to accomplish this capability in a portable way, avoiding external
dependencies if possible. So far, these are two solutions I have thought of:
* Build a PHP extension which exposes these functions.
* Build a set of wrapper binaries that can be called via shell_exec() or
shell()
For performance reasons, the second is nearly a non-option. Is, then, the
first option the only way to go about this?
Thank you,
Jameson Williams

wouldn't calling the wrapper binaries via exec() be faster w/o the shell
overhead?

I am trying to get the watermark to work, however I am having a problem in
that the image is being called from a database (image sits in images file).
The script in question is this
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg($_GET['src']);
However it produces an error message of
Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg() [function.imagecreatefromjpeg]: Filename
cannot be empty in /home/content/a/l/i/alinde52/html/imagesDetail.php on
line 233
I have tried various methods, for example: ($_GET ['images/'] or ($_GET
['images/$row_WADAimages["image_id"]].
Can anyone shed some light on this for me.
Thank you
Gary
