I was wondering what the licensing issues for app frameworks (or any included PHP classes/libs) are. I'm creating a rather large PHP application for a company, and they'd like to potentially resell it to some of their customers. Can I safely use GPL'd libraries, classes, etc. (i.e. PearDB) and

Re: [PHP] A Licensing Question

However - if you want to sell software under a closed licence you will need to be carefull to avoid 'linking' with gpl'd code. The problem is that 'linking' as used in the gpl seems to refer to C programming - and is an unclear term when refering to php. Yeah...that's really what I'm

Chris, Sheesh. I'd read it about 5 times but revisited just now. Somehow I missed the key phrase which are themselves interpreted.. Here's the full relevant excerpt: Another similar and very common case is to provide libraries with the interpreter which are themselves interpreted. For

[PHP] Jasper Reports and PHP

2003-01-22 Thread John Wells
Anyone tried to use Jasper Reports with PHP? Jasper is a java reporting tool, but I need an os alternative to Crystal Reports and am hoping it might fit the bill. I *think* I could integrate Jasper into my app fairly well with PHP's ability to call Java classes, but wanted to hear from anyone

[PHP] Speed concerns with OOP and PHP4

2003-01-16 Thread John Wells
I'm working on a large VB/Sql Server to Php/Postgresql conversion (approx. 60k lines of code). I'd like to design this thing as OO as possible, because I think ultimately it leads to better, more extendable and readable software. However, since php does the whole copy thing with objects, I'm a

[PHP] Gotchas with Php and Postgresql?

2003-01-14 Thread John Wells
I'm preparing for a large project in which I'm the sole designer/developer. I've just about made the decision to go with Postgresql, as part of the project is converting a MS Sql Server db to a open source db and I think Postgresql provides some features that will make this port easier. However,

I've tried phpEdit, but unfortunately it's a Windows-only IDE and has quite a few reproduceable bugs (I get an access violation almost everytime I use the latest version. I do all my development in Linux, so it won't cut it. Thanks! John -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/)

See MySQL 4.x. They also have subselects now (HUGE!). As for an Well, not really. Nested queries are scheduled for 4.1. 4.0 is in gamma, 4.1 isn't even available for download as alpha. You'll have to go with Postgres for now if you need subselects. Regarding row locking and transactions,

I'm preparing for a project in which I'll be porting and redesigning a large, ugly Visual Basic/Sql Server app to a PHP/Mysql or Postgresql based web application. I'd like to code in a way that will be at the same time easily ported to PHP5 and that will take advantage of PHP5's new object

[PHP] Zend IDE vs. PhpEd

Can anyone who's familiar with both give an honest, open evaluation? I'm in a rush project and need something quickly (have to purchase tomorrow), but I'm on the fence when it comes to these two products. Zend costs $100 less than Phped, so I'm leaning that way. But if there's anything you know

Sterling, Thanks for the reply. I'm also impressed with Zend's autocompletion...I can't even get PHPEd to autocomplete on objects. I wonder if Zend uses dbg as well. It'd be nice to see a profiler thrown into a future version. Finally, one frustrating thing on the part of both editors is the

I have this problem as well (see Where the hell did my session vars go?). We were using 4.0.4pl1 and it was occuring under both Netscape 4.74 and IE 5.5. We upgraded PHP to version 4.0.5 and everything works nicely under Netscape, but IE 5.5 is still screwing up. Just for info... Thanks,
