Re: [PHP] is there any setting to declare the member variables in constructor?
sure, i know fpdf can deal with asian character like Chinese, but it can't work with utf-8 charactor so that i have to replace it with tcpdf.

I see what you mean. http://www.fpdf.org/en/tutorial/tuto7.htm Uses an encoding and only allows 256 characters. Hmm. With regard to your issue, it sounds like the class is extended further or uses magic functions to set/get missing properties. -- - Richard Quadling Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!

Re: [PHP] Converting funky characters
i think you just need function urldecode() On Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 8:05 AM, Skip Evans s...@bigskypenguin.com wrote: Hey all, What's the best way to filter/convert characters that don't translate properly from say news stories to HTML? For example, I have a form that people cut and paste the lead in paragraph from news stories they want to link to from their sites to the original. And of course things like long dashes, double quotes, single quotes, etc, always translate is wacky unprintables when they are rendered, and the user needs to edit them to replace them with standard characters. Is there way to filter this text through a function that will convert them to web friendly chars?

[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
