it will be somewhere in php's search path. you'd be better off trying
search for a file of the same name.
cd /usr/lib/php5
find . -iname "vB_ProfileBlock*"
if you have locate installed, try: "locate vB_ProfileBlock"
Cheers,
Curtis

created?
Thanks.

This works if vBulletin was installed as a system package. No other
package directly installs in php include paths.
OP should try this: grep -ir 'class vb_profileblock' <path to root of
vBulletin installation>

Can you not put a debug_print_backtrace() in the class constructor?

That should do the job IMO.
Btw, ignore my earlier reply. I thought the task was to find where the
class was defined.

Thanks, that might have worked.
In the end, I found it by grepping for VisitorMessaging instead of
vB_ProfileBlock_VisitorMessaging. It turns out that there is an array
of the vB_ProfileBlock_* classes and they are called by
vB_ProfileBlock_$className. I personally consider that terrible coding
practice, but then again if vBulletin were well-coded then I would
probably be made redundant so I cannot complain!
Thanks for the help and for the ideas!

Jim:
The TCPDF software library does not need php pdf functions. Is 100% php
code.
To use only put a require_once '/tcpdf/tcpdf.php'; lik this.
Create a new instance:
$pdf = new TCPDF( 'P', 'mm', 'A4', true, 'UTF-8', false);
And call the methods.
The library has a folder with a lot of examples.

OK...I admit I'm new at this....I have this html file:
<html>
<head>
<title>Generate pdf file of LD, Toll Free, and Directory Assistance calls</titl
</head>
<body>
<form action="Q:\ASTERISK\callrecs.php" method="post">
<p>Account Number: <input type="text" name="acctnum" ></p>
<p>Year (4 digit): <input type="text" name="billyear" ></p>
<p>Month (2 digit): <input type="text" name="billmonth" ></p>
<p><input type="submit" /></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
to which I would input an account number, 4 digit year, then 2 digit month.
Then click Submit.
What I see in the error log is:
[06-Jan-2012 11:42:21] PHP Notice: Undefined index: acctnum
[06-Jan-2012 11:42:21] PHP Notice: Undefined index: billyear
[06-Jan-2012 11:42:21] PHP Notice: Undefined index: billmonth
where line numbers point othe the following php lines:
$who=$_POST["acctnum"];
$year_to_process=$_POST["billyear"]; ;
$month_to_process= $_POST["billmonth"];
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG ?

PHP must be run on a server, it looks like you're attempting to run it
on your local drive without one. Try installing either Xampp or EasyPHP,
which will install the Apache server with PHP for you, and then you can
run your scripts over http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1

Depending on requirements, another good option may be Pdftk. Where TCPDF
is focused on document creation, Pdftk is focused on document
manipulation, and because it's a compiled binary that you install, it's
very fast (and easily used from PHP via exec() and family).

Hello,
I have a simple function that contains an argument that is not required, ie:
function list_formvars($pmatch) {...
However, if I call the function without the argument, I get a warning
(I'm having the app show all warnings for development):
"Warning: Missing argument 1 for list_formvars(), called in ..."
Though the function works fine, how would I go about then making
argument not required. I've tried using an if statement with an isset()
condition, but perhaps I don't have the syntax correct?
Anyway,
TIA for your comments.
Donovan
