Re: [PHP] Document generation from XML
I had exactly the same problem some time ago... My solution was very similiar of what you are trying to do, but my internal format is not XML but a group of arrays (faster processing). Then using some OOP I created the diferent output formats for my reports, therefore I have a microsoft excel object, a pdf object, a html, an xml object, etc. (you get the idea). Russell Seymour wrote: Good evening list, I apologise profusely if after reading anyone thinks that is OT, but I relally need some pointers with a project I am working on. I have searched the Internet for information on XML document generation but there is too much information that I cannot decide which way to go. Thanks lots in advance. I am currently writing a web based application using PHP that created reports on the fly from a multitude of data sources. In the beginning only one output format was required, HTML and then PDF was a requirement. More and more formats are now required by my users and rather than create a new output script for each different format I am thinking about outputting the final report as XML and then putting that through 'something' to render in the format that I require. However I am unclear as to the best way to do this as there seems to be many different ways. I have looked at using Apache FOP and DocBook, but they all spawn off in different directions and bringing in other things such as Jade. This post maybe slightly OT, but if nayone has any pointers on how I amy go about doing this I would be very very grateful. Thanks very much.

The other purpose of this procedure is if the user types 12asdasd into
$value, $number will be assigned 12 so $value and $number are not the
same, meaning $value is not a number. Which is correct, but the
procedure is not working correctly in PHP when it should. (It works in

Thats odd, I come up with a 'Bad' echo also. The only thing I can

$value within the comparison. But it does seem very strange that
XP would cast but *nix doesn't
In that case test the condition reversed:

Everybody:
This problem solved. It is not PHP's fault, It is mine. When I fixed
some problems that I thought where non intrusive in this problem,
everything started working as a charm.
Here is the finished function, it is part of a class called xValidate.
function integer($msg, $prompt, $value, $min, $max, $name) {
$number = intval($value);
if ($value == ) {
$msg[$prompt] = You have to write a number in this field.;
} elseif (!is_numeric($value)) {
$msg[$prompt] = The contents of this field should be a number.;
} elseif ($value != $number) {
$msg[$prompt] = This number should be an integer.;
} else {
xValidate::number($msg, $prompt, $number, $min, $max, $name);
}
}
and just for the curious here is xValidate::number...
function number($msg, $prompt, $number, $min, $max, $name) {
if (!empty($min) and ($number $min)) {
$msg[$prompt] = This value should be a number greater than or equal
to $min.;
} elseif (!empty($max) and ($number $max)) {
$msg[$prompt] = This value should be a number less than or equal to
$max.;
}
}

Re: [PHP] Slow searches in large database
Hi!
I think that you will need a keyword table to speed up this procedure.
The basic idea is to create an index of words in your fields,
therefore you will not use like but = making things run much, much
faster.
The steps for doing this are:
1. Every time you save a record in the table docs, take all the text
fields in it and separate it into words. You can use explode to do
this. Like for example: $words = explode( , $record[fieldone] .
.$record[fieldtwo], {etc, etc});
2. save in the keyword table the non repeating words in the array with a
reference to the original document, for example the document id.
3. Then, if you want to search for, let say, people you will do:
select distinct(docid) from keywords where word='people'
and you will have a list (cursor) with all the documents that have the
word people.
Very fast.
For an example of this, go to http://www.alenet.com and search for
something. With very little more effort you can add a spelling thingy
(type peeple on the search field) and porcentajes for each document.
I use the exactly the same procedure in a 5000 record database, and the
time it uses to search is about the same that in alenet.com
Cesar
An example of one of our search strings is:
select docs.* from docs where 1 and CY IN ('GB') and (TI like
'%searchstring%' or PD like '%searchstring%' or ND like '%searchstring%'
or DR like '%searchstring%' or DS like '%searchstring%' or DD like

Re: [PHP] PHP Editor - which to use?

Re: [PHP] Re: Form 2 PDF 2 Form

form and what part of the form you are. So the user can flip between
pages in the form. Here is some code that will help you do it. (From
the top of my mind, code not tested, use it with care!)

session_register(userform);
if (!isset($userform[step])) $userform[step]=1;
$step = $userform[step];
if (isset($_POST[confirm])) {
switch ($step):

$_POST[whateverfieldname];
// etc
break;
case 2:
// more...
break;
case 3:
// more...

case 4:
// more...
if (This is the last step) {
.. save $userform to the database
}

}
}
print(form);
printf(input type=hidden' name='step' value='%s', $userform[step]);

Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: Form 2 PDF 2 Form
Hi Shiva
Appreciate your input. Wrt the spanning of the form, I think, in my
situation, it would actually make things worse... You see, my suspicion
is that most of the users who are experiencing problems, have very bad
connections, many complain that they lose connectivity while they are
busy with the form ( it takes them maybe 30 min or so to fill out the
entire form ( they basically transfer the data off paper forms they have
filled out earlier while on-site, so it's not really alot of data, but
there are a lot of fields...)
So, my fear with this approach is that they will maybe get past the
first part of the form, submit that OK, then start getting trouble with
subsequent parts, leaving me with a whole lot of partial entries in the
DB., and how do I get them to resume at a a later stage?
You don't understand the mindset of these people, when something goes
wrong, they'll switch off their PC's and try to start from scratch, so
it's going to be difficult to try and get them to understand the concept
of multi-part forms... I shudder to even think what will happen, or
worse, how I will be able to allow them to make corrections on a certain
part of the form once they have submit it. And sometimes, to their
defense, it's not them that want to change the details on the form, but
the subject of the form who has decided to change their name etc...
I'm not ditching this idea, I will definitely give it some more thought,
it's just at this moment, my mind is running through my original idea of
PDF forms trying to evaluate it.
Each method will have it's pro's and cons, and I'll have to go and weigh
them. I must add, I don't see effort as a con for a particular
solution, as long as I know it will solve the problem without adding
other cons...
Thanks again, will take it up with you again ( need some more input on
this PDF thing to get some balanced views)
PS, if you have experience with using this method, I would appreciate it
if you could let me have your field notes and how successfull it's
working for you.
You see, the main thing here is that I need to KNOW when someone who
says they have submitted something actually have, and that they are not
trying their luck...
