[PHP] LAMP Experts Needed
I am looking for some serious coders that want to make a name for themselves and/or a lot of money. I need to talk to any one who is considered an Expert with any of these: Linux Apache MySQL or PostgreSQL PHP, Perl, Python HTML CSS XML XSL I am going to convince my employer to replace a very expensive package that they are using right now. This project will take several months to complete and then will be on going with a monthly maintenance and service. If you have any interest at all and want to know the details contact me. Send what you can and will do for this project to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is going to be a web interface interacting with a very large database. -- Jack Gates http://www.morningstarcom.net -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Working with an existing PDF doc
You seem to use FPDF. Although I never tried working with FPDF, you might take a look at http://fpdi.setasign.de/ which is a class that extends FPDF. If you are looking for a library with support for all PDF features, maybe PDFlib (http://www.pdflib.com) is the one for you (sure, PDFlib/ PDI costs some money. But if you are looking for a lib that has support for everything that the PDF format has to offer, PDFlib is definitely the lib you want to use.). /frank 1 sep 2006 kl. 02.42 skrev tedd: Hi gang: I can create a pdf document on-the-fly pretty easily, as shown here: http://xn--ovg.com/pdf However, what I need is to find out how to open an existing pdf document and insert data into it -- does anyone have any experience in doing this, or references they can point me to?

Re: [PHP] Re: remove SimpleXML nodes
Thanks a lot to all :)
Using DOM I can do what I need. Anyway I was trying the proposed solutions
with SimpleXML but none of them worked for me :(
I tried splitting $key and $value in the foreach command, but when I dump
the xml (with the asXML function) I still have the nodes that I supposed to
delete... And the same using references, cause I think using unset with
referenced variable names doesn't delete the referenced var, it just deletes
the link to the referenced var...
Concretely I tried:
TEST ONE:
foreach ($xmlDatabase as $key = $oneTable) if ($oneTable['name'] == 'one')
unset($xmlDatabase[$key]);
$sourceXML = $xmlDatabase-asXML(); // - node table name='one' is
still there
TEST TWO
foreach ($xmlDatabase as $key = $oneTable) if ($oneTable['name'] == 'one')
unset($oneTable);
$sourceXML = $xmlDatabase-asXML(); // - node table name='one' is
still there
If there's no luck with xml I will use of course DOM for this, but I'm
really curious now :P
Again, thanks a lot for the help.

Hi all,

unset($oneTable); // -- and this doesn't work...

any ideas?
The answer is simple, everybody else seems to have missed it. foreach()
makes a copy of the array before working on it. Changes made to
$oneTable would obviously never affect the original. You're just
unsetting a temporary variable that's going to be overwritten next time
through the loop anyhow.
You should have better luck with this code:
$xmlDatabase = new SimpleXMLElement($myXML);
foreach ($xmlDatabase as $key = $oneTable)
fwiw, In php5 you can do something like:
foreach ($xmlDatabase as $key = $oneTable)
//note the --
unset($oneTable);

[PHP] Functions vs html outpuit
Hi all, this may seem like a silly question, but I am creating a library of html form element generation function, for example a textarea fucntion that takes rows and cols as parameters, a function that generates a day, month and year select box, etc. My question is - is it significantly to switch off the parser and emit raw html than calling a function?

Describe abstract solutions for object-oriented problems which dozens of programmers had already to solve and present them in a way each programmer understands and give them a name which everyone can understand. Its not to impress people with complicated ideas but to simplify the communication between programmers and give them hints how a problem could be solved. No, you missed my point -- many books written to simplify, don't. That's the reason some books are better than others for different audiences.

Re: [PHP] Re: remove SimpleXML nodes
It seems there's no way to do this. You can unset certain things in simpleXML objects, but it's really strange non-standard behaviour. If I have this for an XML document: ?xml version='1.0'? document testfoo/test testbar/test testbaz/test /document XML; and I run that through simplexml into $xml, then doing unset($xml-test) and then exporting again yields this: ?xml version='1.0'? document /document Also, if I echo $xml-test[1], I get bar. But I can't unset anything like that. $xml-test says it's an array through var dumps, but it doesn't seem to be a real array, only a fake array. I'm tempted to say it can't be done. One thing you might try is, to do the unset, export to DOM using dom_import_simplexml(), use DOM to unset the thing, and then use simplexml_import_dom(). Who knows how slow that'd be, though.

If need be, i can send you the php i've created based on the example above. BTW if you're not familiar with pdf's, as i wasn't, you basically setup in the pdf fields (just like html forms) with names that you pass data to.

Subject: [PHP] Problems with UTF
Hi,
I have a php based script that is called from a html page via ajax.
Everything runs fine except when I use characters such as á that ends up
like A!
After searching and testing I found that if I remove the
encodeURIComponentfrom the javascript and replace with
escape everything works fine.
So the question is what can I do from PHP side to make it play nice with
those UTF encoded chars generated from encodeURIComponent? Since escape
is
deprecated I'd like to find out before I have tons of files to change
tks.
