Hi all,
I am creating a pdf where text size of cell is not fixed.
My problem is if one text is too long than that cell then it overlap the
next cell.
I wish to show the part of the text which are loneger than cell size and put
a tool tip on that cell which show the complete text.
Is it possible ? Looking for any suggestion.
Thanks,
Subhranil.

Wouldn't it be entirely (well.. okay.. not ENTIRELY) up to his *browser*
as to whether or not the Javascript file is loaded? The <script> tag is
just an instruction to the client-side of things, it doesn't cause
Apache to do anything special. The browser reads the <script> tag and
loads whatever the "src" attribute points to. Also... perhaps try
<script type="text/javascript">... I doubt not specifying the script
language is breaking your page, but it wouldn't hurt to be a bit more
rigid. :)
I think it might be your URL. I'd recommend using Firefox and the
Firebug plug-in to see if your .js file is even being touched via HTTP
in the first place.

Check the security settings for the browser on that machine, you may
have JavaScript blocked or turned off at the browser level.

Edit:
I don't think Javascript is disabled on my computer.
When I tried posting the code online, I see that my js functions are
executed just fine on this one particular machine.

You should search the archives, there are dozens of discussions on this one.
I think you'll find a lot of people recommend the Zend IDE, I personally use
PhpED, both are good. Kate is pretty good if you don't want to buy anything
(apt-get install kate -- if its not there...)

I use Eclipse with PHPEclipse. I think you have to install from source
to get PHPEclipse to work right.

Yep, PHPEclipse will be all sorts of fudged if you add it in
after-the-fact. I learned that the hard way. :(

Ahh... but you're in Linux. I was referring to the Windows distribution of
Eclipse. It's Java, so I guess it wouldn't matter... but when I installed
PHPEclipse on top of Eclipse, it broke. Big-time.

What sort of plugins do you use with vim? For a while I was
interested with it after seeing some presentations on it. I never
could figure out how to get it to do code completion based on methods
of a class, it sort of jumbled all of them from a project together. I
also felt like it was a bit clunky jumping between files. Using MVC
means at least 3 files per uri so that got to be very tedious for me
jumping between so many different files. Any tips there?
One of my favorite parts of pdt is the fact that I can code complete
any class in my current project or anything that I specify in my
include path. Also you can jump to the exact class/method by control
clicking on it too which is a huge time saver. Is there anything like
this?

Hi,
I'm working with floats because I have a big number to identify users, and the
only operation I make with this number is to add something less than
10000000000 with 10000000000 (one and ten zeros). Besides that I just need to
use the number to search ("=" comparison). I never need the fractional part of
the number. As I said, I only use float and not int because of the size of the
number.
I noticed PHP uses the number in exponential notation sometimes, this happened
with both: 4100000 + 10000000000 and 4153154 + 10000000000. I'm using
ctype_digit() to check when this happens. Is there a way to avoid that so that
PHP always uses the decimal notation?
(The focus on my code is not to generate the new user id, I just need to
generate it to do other things. Almost all my functions need to generate the
new user id, as we cannot map the old user ids to the new user ids. I'm putting
two systems together, at least for now, I need to use the old user id from 1
external source and generate the new user id to operate user records on another
external db.)
----- code -- (receives "old" user id, and changes to the new format)
$_SESSION['some_array']['old_user_id'] = $userinfo[0]; // I got the number from
DB. Say. 4153154..
$checking_old_user_id = (string)$_SESSION['some_array']['old_user_id'];
// So I can use ctype_digit()
$_SESSION['some_array']['new_user_id'] = (float)10000000000 +
$userinfo[0];
$checking_new_user_id = (string)$_SESSION['some_array']['new_user_id'];
$_SESSION['some_array']['foo'] = $userinfo[1]; // Other data
if( ctype_digit($checking_old_user_id) == false ) { // Exponential
notation detected
echo 'some message';
return false; // Script stops!
}
if( ctype_digit($checking_new_user_id) == false ) { // Exponential
notation detected
echo 'some message';
return false;
}
if($_SESSION['some_array']['old_user_id'] < 0) { // Filter input
echo 'some message';
return false;
}
if($_SESSION['some_array']['new_user_id'] < 0) { // Filter input
echo 'some message';
return false;
}
----- code
Any ideas, suggestions? I would like to make php stop using the exponential
notation so I don't need to bother with these checkings.
thanks.

I think this should be a simple question and answer, but after looking
through the manual and goggling I have yet to find an answer.
Question: Using PHP, how would I go about opening a file in a window, table
or div?
Example: I have a file called 123.xls. When a condition is met, I want PHP
to open this file into the current window.
I know I can use Javascript to easily do this, but due to the requirements
of my application, javascript is not an option here.
I tried using fopen() but that only opens the file in the background for PHP
to read/write to and will not display the file in a browser.
Any ideas?
Thx,
Dan

Who needs PHP... :)
The following will open a new browser window and load the href in it.
<a href="http://examples.com/123.xls"; target="_blank">Open It!!!</a>
If that isn't what you are looking for, please give a little more details.

I need to open the file from the server, using PHP. I already know how to
open it using HTML and Javascript, but those methods cannot be used for this
section of my application.
I need to call and open the document in the browser window using PHP.
Example: If I was going to do it with Javascript I would just use something
simple like this;
function open() {
window.open('open.php');
}
Or, if I was going to use HTML I would use something simlar to what you
posted.
How can I achieve that same functionality using only PHP? Or is it not
possible?

You need to know the mime type for the file you're serving. Call
header('Content-Type: x/y'); where x/y is the mime type. Then call
readfile('/path/to/file/on/server'); to output the file to the browser.

Should I try mkdir() or mkpath() to set the server and folder location and

The user PHP runs as needs to be able to access it, not you. I'm
guessing you're on Windows...
If you're using IIS then it's the IUSR_machine user which doesn't have
access to the network by default. You can enable it but I can't recall
how off the top of my head and you may want to reconsider because it
leaves the server a lot more open should IIS/PHP/else be compromised.
If you're using Apache on Windows then you'll need to check the
service configuration to see what user it's running as.

It can be done somewhat securely by mapping a network drive and then
granting permissions to it specifically, rather than the network itself.

Stut,
If I copy the link from the error message and paste it into a
browser running from my PHP server, the file comes up just fine.
Should I try mkdir() or mkpath() to set the server and folder
location and then try it from there?
The user PHP runs as needs to be able to access it, not you. I'm
guessing you're on Windows...
If you're using IIS then it's the IUSR_machine user which doesn't
have
access to the network by default. You can enable it but I can't
recall
how off the top of my head and you may want to reconsider because it
leaves the server a lot more open should IIS/PHP/else be compromised.
If you're using Apache on Windows then you'll need to check the
service configuration to see what user it's running as.
It can be done somewhat securely by mapping a network drive and then
granting permissions to it specifically, rather than the network
itself.
(I believe...)
It's been a while since I've used Windows but IIRC you need to enable
network access for that user at the lowest layer (i.e. system policy)
and then normal access rules apply, but I could be wrong. Either way
I'd avoid doing it if at all possible.

I think after XP SP2 it got a bit more granular. However, I'm no MCSE,
so don't take my word for it. :) I do agree with you, anyway, that the
user a webserver is posing as should not have access to network
resources like this.
I digress.

Hello,
I've got a website here: http://beta.menashalibrary.org/about
On every page, i've got a search box at the top. This search box
searches the library's web catalog. The problem is, when someone
searches, it takes them away from the site. What I'd like to do is
take what a person searches for, and load it into the bottom frame of
this page:
http://beta.menashalibrary.org/sites/beta.menashalibrary.org/themes/salamander/searchframe.html
Is there a way, with php, to take what someone puts in the search box
and put the results into the bottom frame of a frameset when the
originating page does not contain frames?

Bastien is right, this is more of a Javascript issue.
It can be accomplished very easily by doing the following.
Once the user enters the search criteria have the submit button/link call a
javascript function like the following:
function submitForm(var1,var2) {
top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text1.value = var1;
top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text2.value = var2;
top.leftFrame.document.my_search.submit();
document.search_form.submit();
}
And this would be your submit link:
<a
href="javascript:submitForm(document.search_form.var1.value,document.search_form.var2.value)">SEARCH</a>

Set the target attribute of the search form to the name of the bottom
frame. The form will then be POSTed in that frame.

I apologize for my ignorance, I don't really know much about
javascript. When I add all that into my form page, when I submit the
form, it just replaces the page I was on with the form results, rather
than in the new frame page. I'm assuming I need to put the url for the
frameset page in that code somewhere. Where does it go? And, which
part do I replace with the frame name on that frameset page?
Thank you for taking the time to help me with this, I really appreciate it!

Hi guys...
Got a question that I figured I'd ask before I reinvent the wheel.
A basic website has a form, or multiple forms. within the form, there might
be multiple elements (lists/select statements, etc...). each item would have
a varname, which would in turn be used as part of the form action, to create
the entire query...
sort of like:
form action=test.php?
option
name=foo
foo=1
foo=2
foo=3
foo=4
/option
option
name=cat
cat=1
cat=2
cat=3
/option
/form
so you'd get the following urls in this psuedo example:
test.php?foo=1&cat=1
test.php?foo=1&cat=2
test.php?foo=1&cat=3
test.php?foo=2&cat=1
test.php?foo=2&cat=2
test.php?foo=2&cat=3
test.php?foo=3&cat=1
test.php?foo=3&cat=2
test.php?foo=3&cat=3
test.php?foo=4&cat=1
test.php?foo=4&cat=2
test.php?foo=4&cat=3
i'm looking for an app that has the ability to parse any given "form" on a
web page, returning the complete list of possible url combinations based on
the underlying elements that make up/define the form...
anybody ever seen anything remotely close to this...???
i've been research crawlers, thinking that this kind of functionality would
already exist, but so far, no luck!
thanks

A little algorithm analysis would learn you that to do so would require
storage space on an exponential scale... as such you won't find it.
Also, what would you put into text/textarea fields? I've heard Google
has begun experiments to index the "deep" web, but they just take
somewhat educated guesses at filling in forms, not at expanding the
exponential result set. For a simple analysis of the problem. Take 2
select fields with 2 options each... you have 4 possible outcomes (2 *
2). Now take 3 selects lists with 3 items, 4 items, and 5 items. You now
have 60 possible outcomes. From this it is easy to see the relation ship
is a * b * c * ... * x. So take a form with 10 select fields each with
10 items. That evaluates to 10^10 = 10000000000. In other words, with a
mere 10 drop down selects each with 10 items, the solution space
consists of 10 billion permutations. Now lets say each item costs
exactly 1 byte to store the answer, and so you need 10 bytes to store
one particular solution set. That's 100 billion bytes AKA 100 metric
gigabytes... remember that was just 1 form.
Cheers,
Rob.
