Re: [PHP] WYSIWYG online editor for Macintosh?
Hi there. Slightly OT, but it's for a PHP project... We normally use a plug-in WYSIWYG editor so that our clients can manage their content in a word-like interface. Normally this works fine, but this time when we've completed the site we've discovered they have an entire department that is 100% Macintosh and this editor doesn't work. Has anyone come across one of these that are cross-platform? Would really appreciate some advice Hi Ade, I did some research on this a while back, though we decided not to pursue the project before we finally settled on one. What you want to do is look for one written in either Java or Flash -- if you search around Google you should be able to find some results. Here's a link you might find useful: http://www.bris.ac.uk/is/projects/cms/ttw/ttw.html Good luck and please let me know if you find a good one. -Step -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Stop neurotic posting
The manual (especially user comments) and Google are invaluable to me as a PHP coder. As fast as this list is to respond to a very basic question, the manual and Google are faster. And more in-depth. So no offense but the replies you consider to be neurotic I consider to be helpful. -Step This is a very busy list, over 100 message in a quiet day and most people are helpful and decent, don't mind reading and learning. Unfortunately there are some who mostly post stuff like 'read the manual' and other shit like that. Stuffing e-mailboxes with such garbage day after day doesn't do anybody any good even if the manual is not being read as much as it should be. Is it too difficult to not answer the post at all if you disagree with the content? Andu -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Stop neurotic posting
Hi Amanda, Yeah, terminology is definitely tough to get a handle on at the start -- it was for me. I tried a couple of different books but had no luck until I picked up Larry Ullman's PHP Visual QuickStart Guide. Then it all kind of clicked into place. I highly recommend it -- it's like a big index. If you have a question about databases, just turn to the database chapter and chances are the answer will jump right out at you. And I believe the retail is only like $20. The two books I tried before that were $50 each. Now as for Google.. Google is about the best thing that ever happened to the web. Hone your Google skills a bit and you'll be amazed at how relevant your search results can get. Another great $20 book: Google Hacks! And you're right: this list is a great resource. I'd just like to see lower volume and more posts about subjects which weren't covered just a few days prior, you know? You should have seen this list when register_globals was switched off by default.. it got maddening. I think a bunch of us are still bitter. :) Hope this helps, -Step I am definitely a novice, and I use the online manual, but a lot of times I won't even know what to search for, or I'll search for something and not find what I'm looking for, or I'll find what I think I'm looking for, then pour over some unclear examples and text and realize it's NOT what I'm looking for. I love that I can shoot off a question while at work and get an answer quick. It's too bad that my novice questions annoy people, but I'm just learning, and that's WHY I joined this list. It's a resource, just like the manual. And as for Google, I don't feel like I have time to wade through pages and pages of irrelevant links until I find what I'm looking for when I have a better resource right here. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

FYI, the date on your computer and/or mail server seems to be fast by one day.. your message is dated tomorrow. 1) is this the ONLY PHP script you're having problems with, or could it be that PHP isn't yet up and running on your web server? 2) when you try to view the page in a web browser are you getting a blank screen, an error, or can you see your PHP code? are you sure you're viewing the page through the server (http://whatever) and not as a file (file://whatever)? hope this helps, -Step Yes, I'm still screwing around with this stupid redirection thing, and either I'm just a total idiot or there are some serious problems with PHP.

Re: [PHP] Best PHP books
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good PHP book? I recommend Larry Ullman's PHP Advanced (a Visual QuickPro Guide).

Re: [PHP] newbie:restricting users to change data in a textarea
Hi Mirco, Try adding either readonly or disabled to the textarea tag: print textarea name=variable readonly rows=1 cols=10.stripslashes($row['variable'])./textareabr; Hope this helps, -Step [...] There is one field that I whant to stop them from changing. This field I also use in my sql query when updating the table,ie. where variable='$variable'. So what I did was simply this: tr\n; print \ttd$variable/td\n; print /tr\n; instead of: print textarea name=variable rows=1 cols=10.stripslashes($row['variable'])./textareabr; This definately stopped them from editing it but also disabled the mysql query from working.

Re: [PHP] mac os 9 - file upload problems
I have a file upload page that accepts file uploads from pretty much every browser and os EXCEPT any browser on mac os 9. [...] Hi Jimmy, I routinely use Mac OS 9.x and both Netscape 7 and IE 5.1 to upload files to sites written in PHP. I also maintain these sites. The only problems I've encountered are when users try to upload files with something funky in the filename which I did not anticipate. Is it possible that uploads are failing because your Mac users are uploading files with no file extensions and this is somehow interfering with the code you're using to process the file? File extensions are not required on Mac OS 9.x so it wouldn't be uncommon at all to find a Mac user uploading, say, a PDF without a .pdf extension. If you'd like to post a URL or some code I'd be happy to take a look. Hope this helps, -Step -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] pop-up problem
on 1/20/03 4:47 PM, Mark McCulligh at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What does IE do? Hi Mark, IE, as far as I know, doesn't have any built-in pop-up killer. Pop-up killers generally only block pop-ups that either weren't requested by the visitor -- that is, no link was clicked -- or that reside on a different server than the page opening the pop-up. I imagine your help system should be fine unless your visitors have JavaScript disabled (pop-ups won't work without JavaScript) or there's an error in you JavaScript that's preventing the pop-up from working on one browser or another.

[PHP] PHP, MySQL, and Japanese text
Hi all, I was hoping to find some code examples or tutorials on using PHP/MySQL with Japanese text. The site I've built is very close, but apparently a very small subset of the characters become garbage when pulled from the database into a form to be modified and resubmit to the database. Text in textarea tags seems immune -- it's only the text pulled into input tags. I've tried to follow the PHP documentation on handling multibyte characters but without practical examples it really just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I'm not currently using encoding or output buffering at all -- I've just set the language to be shift_jis in a meta tag.
