Easy to use and configure* or the one you would recommend according to your experience. My DB is MySQl, or should I stick to native call from PHP? Since you're new to PHP, you should not directly start off with frameworks. I agree, using frameworks makes the job infinite times easier, but as a learning point of view, you should first try to build some applications (not to sell or freelance!) from scratch without using any frameworks. You can of course use minimal PEAR packages. This way you will get a lot to know how to write efficient PHP code. Yes this will take time, but in future you may be one of the best developers coding PHP out there ! Lastly, PEAR isn't a framework, though combining various packages out there you can make one :) First try Zend, its the easiest to use as far I've seen. I have tried Symfony too, but I found it a little tougher to start with. -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site Server Administrator www.itech7.com As far as frameworks go, I've found CodeIgniter very very easy to work with, but I do agree with Nilesh, you should begin by writing code without a framework first. This is because any framework adds an extra layer to your learning, which obviously makes it more difficult for you. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

[PHP] Noloh PHP Framework
Hello buds, Anyone have experience with the noloh php framework (noloh) and knows where i can download it? Im not sure if its open source or encrypted. Thanks
[PHP] is there any setting to declare the member variables in constructor?
now i'm re-writing some script to output pdf files. the original code is based on fpdf, but as you know, fpdf can't deal with the characters in utf8. so i want to change it to tcpdf. there is a class extend from fpdf, in its constructor function, there is some script just like $this-db = $db;. there isn't any variable named $db in parent class(class fpdf) and child class, i have checked it carefully and print_r($this) at the top of child's constructor function. but after $this-db=$db, there is a member variable named $db(i have print_r and check it too). when i change the parent class to tcpdf, although i haven't change any code in child class and there isn't a member variable named $db in parent class(class tcpdf), php returns me a error TCPDF ERROR: Cannot access protected property / Undefined property. i print_r($this) at the top of constructor function again and check whether there is a member variable named $db in both parent and child class, finally i'm sure there isn't. i think maybe there is a setting in the parent class(fpdf/tcpdf) here about this condition. it controls whether you can declare a member variable by equaling it. i tried to find it out on google or in fpdf/tcpdf sources but i failed, there are about 16k lines in tcpdf so i post this mail to request some help, is there somebody have any experience about this case? please help me, thanks a lot. solo -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I haven't come across such a utility. I recommend generating a PDF file directly using PDFLib or FPDF ( http://www.fpdf.org/) if possible. An alternative strategy (if you cannot create a PDF directly) could be: 1. Validate input and Generate PS file then go to 2 otherwise raise input exception and exit 2. Write (1) to a temporary location then go to 3 otherwise raise file generation exception and exit 3, Use a utility like ps2pdf (or ghostscript) to convert file to pdf then go to 4 otherwise raise file conversion exception and exit 4. Serve (3) then go to 5 otherwise raise file transfer exception and exit 5. Delete files and exit normally Tutorial on ps2pdf: http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/35022

Re: [PHP] Noloh PHP Framework
Hey Rob, No. NOLOH actually generates different code for different devices. For example, a browser with JavaScript will get all elements added via DOM, and no actual HTMLis generated, however when the DOM is viewed via Firebug and properties were explicitly assigned to an object, they're translated as inline styles. All the style attributes are determined by the developer you can either use direct object modification, and/or use CSS classes and style sheets. See http://dev.noloh.com/#/articles/NOLOH-and-CSS/ for more information. There's also some information about layout here: http://dev.noloh.com/#/articles/Layout-in-NOLOH/. If you're interested, we recently came back from 2 weeks ago and posted our very informative and instructive screencast of the talk here: http://vimeo.com/10106797. If this is too long for you, we cut it up into topically concise segments here: http://www.youtube.com/user/phpframework#grid/user/C102458C2FFD8ACF Please let us know if there's anything else you're curious about.

If your webserver runs on MacOSX, look out for a binary called 'pstopdf'. From the man page: [...] pstopdf is a tool to convert PostScript input data into a PDF document. The input data may come from a file or may be read from stdin. The PDF document is always written to a file. The name of the output PDF file is derived from the name of the input file or may be explicitly named using the -o option. [...] Another option might be xpdf (http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/). There are several different tools bundled with that app and there might be some ps - pdf converter too.

You access form element values via the $_POST superglobal, why are you using
$_SESSION?

Re: [PHP] Adding Time
It is a multi page form with all information being writting to the database
via the $_SESSION's.

Can you echo $pay_date and show us how the input date is formatted? eg.
2010-03-27
Can you also show us the output of the last four echo statements?
This works for me:
function addMonthsToDate($start,$month)
{
return strtotime($start + $month months);
}
$test = addMonthsToDate(2010-03-26,3);
echo date('Y-m-d',$test); // gives 2010-06-26
Re: [PHP] Adding Time
I have copied the echo and the code, for clarity I have echo'd 1,2,3, etc
to see which is working.
Thank you for your help. Hope this is clear.
Gary
$loan_length=($_SESSION['loan_length']); //is set to 36 months
$pay_date=($_SESSION['pay_date']); //is set to 01-05-2010
$orgDate=($_SESSION['pay_date']);
$mth=($_SESSION['loan_length']);
$end_date=date('m-d-Y',strtotime('$mth')) + date('m-d-Y',
strtotime('$pay_date'));
$loan_length=date('m-d-Y');
$mthdate=date('m-d-Y',
function add_date($orgDate,$mth){
$cd = strtotime($orgDate);
return $end_date;
}
$orgDate=date(m,strtotime('$loan_length'));
echo 1 .br /;
echo $mth .br /;
echo 2 .br /;
echo $end_date .br /;
echo 3 .br /;
echo $pay_date .br /;
echo 4 .br /;
echo $loan_length.br /;
echo 5 .br /;
echo $orgDate.br /;
?
***Page output***
1
36 //this is correct
2
24 //this is not
3
01-05-2010
4
03-27-2010
5
12 //this is not

If you want the value of $pay_date to be the argument of strtotime, you need
to enclose it in double quotes (do the same for all other occurrences).
Try:
strtotime($pay_date);
[...]
When a string http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php is
specified in double quotes or with heredoc,
variableshttp://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.phpare

Try changing above to:
$end_date = date('m-d-Y',strtotime($pay_date + $mth months));
I think your mail client took it out of the add_date function.
