i use class Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader  i  found in google
some server is no problem and get $tmp[''] value
but when i run this script in some server $tmp[''] is emptry


case Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader_Type_NUMBER:
$row= ord($this->data[$spos]) |
ord($this->data[$spos+1])<<8;
$column = ord($this->data[$spos+2]) |
ord($this->data[$spos+3])<<8;
$tmp = unpack("d", substr($this->data, $spos + 6, 8));
// It machine machine dependent

if ($this->isDate($spos)) {
list($string, $raw) = $this->createDate($tmp['']);
 //   $this->addcell(DateRecord($r, 1));
}else{
$raw = $tmp[''];
if (isset($this->_columnsFormat[$column + 1])){
$this->curformat =
$this->_columnsFormat[$column + 1];
}

$string = sprintf($this->curformat, $tmp[''] *
$this->multiplier);

 //   $this->addcell(NumberRecord($r));

[PHP] Compile Php5: --with-mysql and --with-mysqli

[Jacob Friis Larsen]

How do I install Php5 with both --with-mysql and --with-mysqli?
MySQL is 4.1.3-beta and installed as official MySQL RPM.
This didn't work:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql --enable-embedded-mysqli
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql
--with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql_config
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql
--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config
The last gave me a lot of errors.
Thanks,

Sorry Guys,
I know that this is off-topic. In one of the sites,I saw the subject AD
{PHPEdit almost as good as s*x (with a women in bikini)}. This is really
irritating. What sex has to do with PHP. Does the PHPEdit folks think
that I will use their product if it is as good as s*x.

What about different formats like 07-04-2004 14:45:00

 one thing to note, not all zones, even in the US honor the

 Instead of exploding stuff around, make your date argument compatible
 with the strtotime() function, it will return a unix timestamp or
 -1 if it fails to parse the date.

  Since you have a timestamp as I suggested above, you simply need
  to pull the month out, and then check the month value:

  $month = strftime('%m', $utimestamp);
  
  swtich ($month) {
case '01': case '02': ...
   return 0;
case '05': case '06': ...
   return 1;
   
  }

  now instead of doing all that mundane work, we simply have to
  find out if the  days are outabounds for the paticular months.

  // obtain the day of month 
  $dayofmonth = (int)strftime('%d', $utimestamp);

  // and the day of week
  $dayofweek =  strftime('%u', $utimestamp);

  if ($month == '04') {

// If its the first week of 04
if ($dayofmonth <= 7) {

  // and we havn't reached sunday, return 0
  return ($dayofweek < 7) ? 0: 1;

}
return 1; // otherwise we're passed it.
   
  } elseif ($month == '10') {

// look at the last week october
if ($dayofmonth >= 24) {
   
  // see if we're still in the zone.
  return ($dayofweek < 7) ? 1: 0;
}
return 1;

First of all I have no idea what your code is trying to do. But if you're 
simply trying to get the first element from an array then use array_shift() 
or array_slice().

So that people don't get confused: $_SERVER should be $_SESSION.

First, I'd like to point out that sessions and cookies aren't opposite
ideas at all. In fact, PHP's default session mechanism uses cookies for
the session identifier (PHPSESSID).

The way I interpret your question is to ask whether it's better to store
session data on the server (in $_SERVER) or on the client (in cookies).
When stored on the client, you rely on the client to send all session data
to the server for every single request. These requests are sent across the
Internet. The Internet is a public network. Hopefully this makes it clear
that storing data on the server is more secure than having it sent across
a public network for every single HTTP transaction (multiple transactions
are typically required to render a single Web page).

I think your instinct ("That goes completely opposite to my
understanding") serves you well. :-)

As the list seems to run on ezmlm it would probably be a good idea to shorten 
bounce timeout to say 3-5 days and take good advantage of ezmlm's auto 
removal of "perpetually" bouncing addresses.

[PHP] A question not directly related to PHP

[Feroze Arif]

Hi,
I am using a notebook running Windows XP Professional  with IIS for my 
PHP development.  I am developing an application that generates RTF 
files on the fly and stores them in a directory. 

A curious thing has been happening.  When I run the PHP script on my 
machine using localhost, the script executes perfectly.  However when I 
access the script from a remote machine (My machine is connected to a 
LAN and since I am running IIS, the script can be accessed at 
http://mynotebook/), the script does not execute.  Not only does the 
script not execute, the LAN connection on my notebook freezes.  After 
this, I am unable to access any network resources from my notebook 
including internet etc.  Once I reboot, I am able to access the net 
until I access the above script from a remote machine.

I am also running Norton Anti-Virus and I tried turning it off but that 
doesn't seem to have any effect.  Norton has a Script Blocking feature 
which I turned off as well but that didn't have any effect either.

One more thing is that, in another environment, I connect through 
Wireless and in that environment this problem does not occur.  Having 
said that, i have to reconfirm if this problem occurs only when I 
connect using wires.

Has anyone come accross a similar problem?  I would appreciate it very 
much if some one could point me towards a solution.

Best Regards
Feroze

I've mentioned this everytime this topic comes up, and every time

[PHP] Grab a range of rows from a mysql result

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I need to grab a range of rows from a mysql result resource.

The resource is made up of 1000+ records from a mysql table that I am
breaking up to make my PHP application run faster.  I have figured out how
to compute the range but I don¹t know how to pull out a group of rows within
a range from a mysql result resource.

Anyone have any insights into how I can do this in PHP?

Re: [PHP] Grab a range of rows from a mysql result

[Travis Low]

select * from foo limit n, m
n == starting index, zero-based
m == maximum number of rows to return.
You probably shouldn't cross-post to different mailing lists.

[PHP] Compiling PHP 5.0.0 on Windows with IIS 5.1

[Sean Vasey]

Could anyone explain how to install PHP 5 on Windows running IIS 5.1? I following the 
supplied instructions but the extensions were not loading and I had them configured 
correctly in php.ini and when I would create a phpinfo page, there would be access 
errors and the PHP and Zend logos would not display for some reason. Any help would be 
greatly appreciated.

Check your Apache config file -- it may be set to a port other than 80
(possibly 8080) by default. Change the port and restart Apache, or just
point your browser to http://localhost:8080

[PHP] Some weong when I start the apache and PHP

[YY Liu]

Hello everyone!

I just have installed the apache and PHP. When I installed apache, I ran the command 
"./apachectl start" in its directory and there was an information showing that it has 
been running, but when I input "http://localhost/"; in browser I can't link to 
localhost.The error mesage is below:

"The connection was refused when attepting to contact localhost."

 

Then I install PHP succesfully and start apache another time, there was no info to 
show it has been start or it has something wrong, and I can't link to localhost either.

I use apache2 and php-4.3.7 and installed both according to  
http://php.net/manual/install.apache2.php.

Anyone knows where the problem may be?

Thanks a lot!

PHP is already installed. If you want the latest 4.x series, use the 
entropy installer. If you want PHP 5 you will have to build it 
yourself from source. I have recently done that, I found this article 
useful in doing so:

Personal preference indeed -- this is likely to be a long thread!

If you're new to this and finding template engines confising, I'd urge
you to start out by just doing "pure PHP" templating, i.e. what John
is describing in the last sentence of his first paragraph. You get the
structural benefits of templating (more readable program logic, more
readable HTML) without having to learn any new syntax.

In a nutshell, this means that you have a script that prepares data,
and another (mostly HTML), included by the first, that presents it. 
The first, let's call it page.php, will be something like this:

  

and page.tpl.php will be something like this:

  
  
  Current foo status: 
  Page created on 
  
  

This is a minimal example, but even without further refinements this
approach will create much more readable and maintainable code than the
big-ball-o-mud interwoven-PHP-and-HTML style of development.

The argument against template engines is well presented here:

  http://phppatterns.com/index.php/article/articleview/4/1/1/

Personally, I use Smarty for sites that need complex templating, and
pure PHP templating for everything else.

Well, you can reproduct this with PEAR HTTP_Client. As for recording
it, I don't know of anything specific, but you could, for instance,
use the auto_prepend functionality of PHP to do something like this:

$vars = '$vars[] = array('uri' => "'.addslashes($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']).'",
'get' => '.var_export($_GET, true).',
'post' => '.var_export($_POST, true).',
'cookie' => '.var_export($_COOKIE, true).');';

Then you could save $vars to a file and then include it from some
other script, loop through the contents, and send requests. :-)

I agree.  As I pointed out in my earlier message in this thread, based on
the description that the OP gave (and the fact that he's using
mssql_query()), I think he's getting bitten by the problems introduced by
the fix for bug #25777:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25777

Basically PHP used to trim trailing spaces from data being returned via the
mssql and sybase extensions, and the fix for the above bug (in both
extensions) was to stop this trimming.  In my case this introduced a new
problem, because bit fields that contain simply '0' in the database come
back with trailing spaces.  While this:

$ php -r 'if ("0") echo "Yes\n";'

produces no output (because "0" == false) this does:

$ php -r 'if ("0 ") echo "Yes\n";'

because "0 " != false.

I have a hunch that if the OP does a print_r() on their "$var", it will be a
string that starts with zero and ends with one or more spaces.  Casting $var
to int will restore the original behavior, but this is only because (int) "0
" === 0 and 0 == false.  So basically the cast to int does fix the OP's
problem but not for the reasons he believes.

Of course, that's a complete guess based off incomplete information.  I
could be way off. :)

[PHP] PHP 5.0.0 Released!

[Andi Gutmans]

The PHP development team is proud to announce the official release of PHP 5.
Some of the key features of PHP 5 include:
- The Zend Engine II with a new object model and dozens of new features.
- XML support has been completely redone in PHP 5, all extensions are now 
focused around the excellent libxml2 library (http://www.xmlsoft.org/).
- A new SimpleXML extension for easily accessing and manipulating XML as 
PHP objects. It can also interface with the DOM extension and vice-versa.
- A brand new built-in SOAP extension for interoperability with Web Services.
- A new MySQL extension named MySQLi for developers using MySQL 4.1 and 
later. This new extension includes an object-oriented interface in addition 
to a traditional interface; as well as support for many of MySQL's new 
features, such as prepared statements.
- SQLite has been bundled with PHP. For more information on SQLite, please 
visit their website (http://www.sqlite.org/).
- Streams have been greatly improved, including the ability to access 
low-level socket operations on streams.
- And lots more...

Enjoy!

Who cares what happens on a Windows box? I'm pointing out to you why it isn't 
working. Just look in $_SERVER and find something that will work under 
whatever systems you need it to work under. If need be have more than one 
test.

Not necessarily, the info in $_SERVER is largely provided by the webserver and 
PHP has no control over that.

The problem is that this HTTPS variable is not a standard variable
that has been defined. 

Apache's SSL module will only set *a* value to HTTPS if in https is
being used. The value it sets just so happens to be 'on'

Windows servers (versions unkown) will set 'on' or  'off.

Other servers will use either 'on' or 'ON', with or without
corresponding 'off' or 'OFF'.

So, as just described, your best bet would be:

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on')
  // https is on.
} else {
  // off.
}

[PHP] Re: Opinion: PHP Sessions or Cookies

[Kim Steinhaug]

Sessions are the best thing to use, cookies are nice as a supplement.
If you want your users to be able to "auto-login" cookies are just
the thing to use, but apart from this cookies are not my favourite.

Another thing is that many browsers nowaydays have turned cookies
all off.. I remember a friend of mine did a supportsystem where the
loggin system was pure cookies... Man - did their staff get a lot of
support from people who didnt manage to logg into the system...
As mentioned - this were users with cookies turned off

As the other users mentioned, the /tmp folder might be out of space,
however your provider might also have some custom setup on that
server which screws up the /tmp folder here and there. I know for
a fact one large provider here in Norway who has this problem on
one of their servers due to a heavy site which from time to time
sucks up resources resulting in the /tmp folder getting messed up.

If you still havnt solved your problem, get your provider to move you
to another of his servers (physically!), or change provider. You shouldnt
be having theese problems.

[PHP] Re: encryption needed?

[Kim Steinhaug]

if there is a system of your id's, like 1.. 2... 3... 4.. and such, you
should consider obfuscating the id's. Especially if you dont have
any form of login system that serve the client the id they want.

What you really should consider is having a login system that
after the user is logged in you serve the user the correct content,
and all from what is stored in the session. Meaning you dont need
client side javascript or hidden forms at all.

If the id's are unguessable however I wouldt care that much, on
the other hand - is the information in mention sensitive? If so you
are back to the login system again.

RE: [PHP] encryption needed?

[Ed Lazor]

I wouldn't encrypt the ID, but I can't help wonder why you don't want people
knowing the company's ID.  They can get access to it if you're storing it
client-side.

This is like using a single script to view documents where you provide the
ID of the document to display.

http://localhost/view.php?ID=33

You end up needing a different way to reference which document should be
displayed, if you don't want people to know the ID.  In this case, I'd end
up specifying the name of the document to display.

http://localhost/view.php?Name=The%20Pizza%20Caper

As you can see, you end up having to deal with spaces and other special
characters in the name...  Basically, I'd just use the ID and not worry
about encrypting it, unless you have a good reason to do so.

I still think this is unnecessary

if ("0") { echo '"0"'; }
if ("")  { echo '""'; }
if (0)   { echo 0; }

As I pointed out earlier, are still all the same; this behaviour
hasn't changed.

[PHP] encryption needed?

[klaus]

Hi all,

I am to set up a service where users can view news of companies.
To identify the company selected an easy way is to use the company-id.
The id is not displayed but stored in the client browser as JS-variable.

Question:
Is it ok to use the company-id or do I have to encrypt the id
using mcrypt (takes some time)?


Thanks in advance
Klaus

I keep watching and /tmp seems ok space-wise, but I like the idea of
overriding where session files are stored.  I just made that change and I'm
waiting for feedback from users to see if they're still getting login
prompts.

Re: [PHP] Opinion: PHP Sessions or Cookies

[Justin Patrin]

Sounds like it could be a permissions issue to /tmp, but that's not
likely as some work and some don't. More likely, /tmp isn't big
enough. Ask the provider to check to see if it's being filled up (you
can also check yourself with the 'df' command on the command-line).

It could also be an old version of PHP or the timeout settings for
sessions. Check that stuff in phpinfo().

[PHP] Opinion: PHP Sessions or Cookies

[Ed Lazor]

I'm using PHP sessions for user tracking.  My host provider's server is
dropping session data.  He swears it's my scripts and says I should be using
cookies for better security.  That goes completely opposite to my
understanding, so I'd like to run it by you guys.  Which is more secure:
PHP sessions or cookies?

 

In case you're curious, more details on the specifics of the problem I'm
experiencing:

 

I have a prepend file that executes start_session.  The script assumes the
user is a guest if $_SESSION["UserID"] is not set.  All guests route to the
login screen.  Successful authentication sets $_SESSION["UserID"] and sends
you to the original requested page.

 

It seems fairly straight forward to me.  People are able to login and start
using the site, but the login screen displays randomly after they've already
authenticated successfully.  

 

It sounds like PHP session data is being lost on the server.  I've also seen
error messages on web pages that report PHP / MySQL as having trouble
reading from the temp directory.  Here's the extact message:  ERRORError
writing file '/tmp/MYiYcf7q' (Errcode: 28).

 

Anyway, those are the details.  I look forward to hearing what you think.

These classes together do exactly that. You do not need to relay the 
message in any intermediate server. Just use the direct delivery mode.

If you do not want to change your scripts, much you can use script named 
smtp_mail.php that wraps arround the classes to provide a function named 
smtp_mail() that works like the mail() function but provide this direct 
delivery mode and other features.

http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage

Since you are using Windows, your PHP function GetMXRR is probably not 
functional. In that case you will also need an emulation function 
provided by this class.

What you want is not conventional but it can be done thanks to all these 
classes. Just let me know if you need assistance to set them up.

I'm positive that it will always be set, 'cause I set it. It's just
going the comparison.

if($var)

used to work for 

if($var != 0) or if($var != "0")

but that doesn't seem to work since I upgrade. So I'm just going to do

if((int)$var)

from now on, 'cause that should always work. I'll typecast everything
that being compared to and int to make sure.

You want to specifically check for 

  $_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on"

because if you're not using HTTPS then $_SERVER["HTTPS"] does not exist.

The code im using to test is:

}
else
{
print "We are using HTTPS";
}


On my windows machine it works as expected with it displaying the correct

false. When it should be true (as im currently viewing the page off a HTTP

You can typecast values as well, this may be a good way to achieve what
you are looking for:
if ((int)$var != 0) {
  // Do Something
}

Also, if you are going to use this variable as an integer later you can
do the following to explicitly convert $var into an integer:
$var = (int)$var;

That should convert "0" into the integer value 0.  Also, note the
following:

var_dump(0 == "0"); //bool(true)
var_dump(0 === "0");//bool(false)

This sounds an awful lot like the problem I experienced with PHP's Sybase extension
after upgrading to PHP 4.3.4.  Is your query retrieving data from a bit field ('0'
or '1')?  If so, you might want to read this:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-dev&m=108377430919818&w=2

I never did get a response to it.  I've had it on my TODO list to open it as a bug
for the longest time, but I haven't had a chance to come up with minimal reproduce
code and I frankly haven't had the time to deal with it.  I managed to work around
the problem by maintaining a local patch to PHP to undo the change mentioned in my
post above.  Let me know if this is your issue and I can explain more and/or provide
my simple patch.

AFAIK, PHP has for some time treated 0, '0', '', false, null, and
array() all the same. If you do if($var) when $var is any of those, it
results in false. If you want it to be non-zero, you should do !== 0.
If you also don't want '0', you can do if((int)$var !== 0).

Thanks for your reply Dan,

I have tried the $_SERVER['HTTPS'] on windows and it works fine. It replys
off when HTTPS isnt working and on when it is. But on linux it does nothing.
Can someone please confirm if this works or it does not work as i need a

Re: [PHP] php 4.3.7/5.0

[Josh Close]

Well, the actual code is hard to tell. It's grabbed from a db so it
should be an int. But it's also run through some functions. That's why
I'd like a to tell what's going on better.

The variable is always set. Basically

$result = mssql_query($sql);
$row = mssql_fetch_array($result);
$var = $row[0];

So it should be an int. And if it's copied into a function it
shouldn't be changed.

But doing

if($var)

doesn't seem to work after I upgraded versions. Which is making me
think that they changed how that works.

And using is_string() or is_int() is pointless 'cause it doesn't
matter. I just want to know if the value != 0.

The problem is, if 0 gets changed to "0" somewhere throughout. That's
why I've always used if($var) because it's usually not cared what the
type is, but it seems to now.

These values will all *not* do something:

  var_dump((bool) 0);
  var_dump((bool) array());
  var_dump((bool) "");
  var_dump((bool) "0");
  var_dump((bool) null);
  var_dump((bool) false);

I'm not quite sure what your question is, but here's some info. You
have to call session_start() before using anything in the session.
This must be called before there is any output to the browser.

After the call to session_start() you can get/set/unset any session
value you want at any time in the script (all of this is stored on the
server). The best way to do all of this is through the $_SESSION
superglobal. Use it like a normal assicative array:

$_SESSION['var'] = 'value';

or:

$_SESSION['array'] = array(1, 2, 3, 4);

os:

$_SESSION['object'] = new Object();

Everything you put in there will be available from any function
without having to use the global keyword or the $GLOBALS superglobal.

Note that you can't store recources in the session (at least, they
can't be used as resources on subsequent requests.) This includes
things such as open file desriptors and database connections or
statement handles.

No, you can use them right away - they are stored server-side, so you
don't need to wait for a request/response loop before reading them:

session_start();
$_SESSION['foo'] = 'bar';
echo $_SESSION['foo']; // 'foo' is available immediately

No need to perform any special declarations. It's cookies that need to
wait for a subsequent request to be available via getcookie().

Careful with your session variable naming - you may want to implement a
primitive namespace, by using named arrays in $_SESSION, such as
$_SESSION['auth']['username'] or $_SESSION['prefs']['boxers_or_briefs'].

Since PHP is not strongly typed (like C or C++) you need not declare any
variables. There are some caveats (see
http://www.php.net/error_reporting ). Is it good practice? Not really,
especially if you have a shop where more than one developer may be
touching the code.

[PHP] RE: using htmlentities with data in textarea

[Dennis Gearon]

When setting up a site, you should:
   A/ write a page with only the function 'phpinfo()' on it.
   B/ Call the page phpinfo.php, and put it in your document root.
   C/ Now tell us the location of your site so we can all view all your 
security information :-)

 do only A above and see if you have 'magic_quoutes_gpc' on, then 
delete the page:

   http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.info.php#ini.magic-quotes-gpc
or, you can just do a loop on your GET/POST/COOKIE variables after 
testing if magic quotes is on using:

   'get_magic_quotes_gpc()' to see if you need to strip them off.
if( get_magic_quotes_gpc() ){
   reset $_GET;
|  while (list($key, $value) = each ($_GET)) {
 $_GET[$key]= stripslashes($value);
 }
|reset $_POST;
|  while (list($key, $value) = each ($_POST)) {
 $_POST[$key]= stripslashes($value);
 }
|reset $_COOKIE;
|  while (list($key, $value) = each ($_COOKIE)) {
 $_COOKIE[$key]= stripslashes($value);
 }
||}|
Magic quotes is to prepare input for databases.
It **MAY** be possible to turn it off **BEFORE** the slashes get added 
in your '.htaccess' file using:

php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0
php_value magic_quotes_sybase 0

If you turn off notices in your app, you won't get that.

Or, you could use isset to make sure that it was submitted (best option).

$searchtype = isset($_REQUEST['searchtype'] ? $_REQUEST['searchtype'] : false;

The whole idea behind templates is to separate your "business logic" 
from your "presentation logic". This means you have a script that does 
all of your processing and data retrieval, etc. This script is generally 
all PHP that performs your business logic. Then you have your template 
that only has code meant to control your presentation. This file is 
mostly HTML, generally, with some special template code or limited PHP 
thrown in to control presentation _only_. The idea is that changes to 
the presentation layer will not require changes to your business layer 
and vice-versa.

Everyone has their own ideas on whether this is needed and what kind of 
templates to use. There are a ton of engines out there that you can use. 
Some are simple and some turn into programming languages of their own 
and just present another layer of failure/difficulty. Some people 
recommend just using PHP both in your business and presentation layer as 
this is what PHP was originally designed for.

Personal preference. :)

Re: [PHP] Templates Are Driving me Nuts

[Justin Patrin]

A template system allows you to (in most cases) use a special
language, different than PHP, to write your HTML. At the simplest
level, template languages replace special markers with content from
PHP. More complicated types involve looping and other contro
structures (if, then, else, etc.).

Basically a template system allows you to seperate your display code
from the rest, allowing quick and easy updating of the look and feel
of the site without changing any (or much) of your PHP code. This is
assuming you've architected it well, of course. ;-)

Re: [PHP] How to make HTTP call to another address?

[Justin Patrin]

I would suggest using the PEAR HTTP_Request package for single-shot
requests and HTTP_Client for multiple requests to the same server
(like if you need your script to login first).

[PHP] $_Request from 4.3 to v5.x

[Michael Purdy]

 
Folks

I am currently using 4.3.7.

I have a script which accepts three POSTed variables from a basic form.  Under 4.3.7 
the script
runs fine and the variables are successfully passed to the script.

I am testing 5.0 C3 and receive the following error 

PHP Notice: Undefined index: searchtype in c:\http\cgi\list7.php on line 13

RE: [PHP] Templates Are Driving me Nuts[Scanned]

[Michael Egan]

I looked at these briefly a couple of years ago but never really made great use of 
them. I also remember seeing an article in LinuxFormat about them which can be found 
at:

http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/archives/LXF35.tut_php.pdf

My understanding is that they are mainly intended for use in development areas where 
you get both programmers and designers working closely together. My limited experience 
of designers is that they get petrified at the sight of anything that looks like code 
nad personally I get horribly confused when I see some of those fiendishly complicated 
interfaces for graphic design applications.

In theory templates might offer a way of bridging this chasm - though I have my doubts.

Regards,

Michael Egan

Dears,

Please help. This template thing is driving my nuts. I though maybe when
I read more articles things will clear up; however, things got even
worse. Every article writer has a different idea. Can anyone explain to
me what are Templates for? What are the advantages of using them? If I
use a third party template, will my site have a different look or is it
only a parser that will take my designed template and data and combine
them. I really don't know.
