Hi all,

This question is now closed.

There is nothing wrong with my script.

It was an error by Google when they switched over to the new-look email and
have since rectified the issue and all is back to normal.

Thanks to all who have responded.

Terry

question!
Which has the highest ecological cost? A sheet of paper or constantly
switching on your computer and connecting to the Internet to read your
email?

I guess if I continued on the rest of the code there will be tons of other bugs. Try to understand what you're doing. Break things down in smaller pieces, check if they work, then write another piece. If something breaks, you know where it was because you just added that part. - Matijn 


Martijn -
Thank you for your insights into my poorly written code. I am very much of a newbie, and therefore am asking for help.
Would you please look at the routine that is failing. I stripped out all the echo and print_r statements, but I had a large number of them in the code. Everything that I can think of has been tried to no avail. Any help that you can render would be deeply appreciated. 

Thanks again,

Ethan

Hi,

I've spent hours researching this with no luck.  I have a PDF with a form
field that I want to populate and output the PDF.  Can someone point me in
the right direction?  Can FPDF do this natively, or I need something else?
 My host doesn't have PDFLib installed, so that's not an option.  Thanks.

Yeah you can load the pdf and overlay the text on top of it with fpdf there
should be an example of that on the fpdf site

I just found fpdfi using Google. It looks like what you need

Wow, you said the key phrase in your last e-mail, 'text on top'.  I didn't
think of that.  fpdi/fpdf does that like a charm, thanks!

I need to access a FUNCTION I programmed within a different FUNCTION.  Are 
these able to be passed like a variable?  Or are they able to become like a 
$_SESSION variable in nature?  How am I able to do this?  

I am essentially programming:

===
function name( $flag1, $flag2 ) {

# some PHP

echo name_of_a_different_function( $flag1 , $flag2 );

}
===

The error I am receiving is “Call to undefined function 
name_of_a_different_function”

Thanks, Ron

Are these inside classes or anything?  If they're just functions, they
should work fine together, example of 2 working functions together:

<?php

hellotwo();

function helloone()
{
        echo "hi 1";
}

function hellotwo()
{
        helloone();
}

?>

This results in "hi 1" being echoed to the screen.

Hi, Ron

Another hint:
Maybe the other function (you want to call inside your first function)
is not defined at that time but in a file that's included later on ...

Hi Mihamina,

I think that a few number of people use Emacs to write Php, in fact for
proffesionals porpuse the people use a IDE for Php, like Netbeams, Eclipse
PDT or Zend Studio.

Regards,
Gerardo
