You know, I feel much the same way about the Zend components... reference implementations of important patterns, for sure, which I've enjoyed using on Big Important Projects but they hurt my head to use, what with the Zend_Package_Class_Subclass naming, the zillion page manual... Generally, though

I fought this battle awhile back building machine images for EC2 servers. If memory serves, in the end I just had to boost the shm_size because shm_segments is deprecated (or just broken and soon-to-be-deprecated). I recall being a little annoyed at the discussions about this issue in bug trackers

I've used Open Office with unoconv -- http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/unoconv/ Our PHP scripts which needed access to the routine just backticked the command, like `python unoconv document.html -o pdf` though that command may be a bit off. Very, very nice output, and it would accept nearly any doc

I'd advocate Drupal. It's not perfect, and I don't love doing serious development with it, but for ease of use and choice of modules, it's pretty hard to beat. On Fri, Feb 22, 2008 at 11:53 AM, Matt Juszczak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey folks, > > I've finally removed myself from all mailing

Re: [nyphp-talk] javascript calling php function -- now question on Ajax

Not to discourage you from using xAjax, which I've seen put to fine use, it seems to me like you're adding Javascript where PHP would do the job just fine, all by itself.

A company I worked for until last July used Innova. It's not the *best* but it's alright I suppose. I don't see why it's better than FCKeditor or TinyMCE. I like WYMeditor for it's structure-over-presentation attitude, but if giving your clients access to colors, fonts, etc., is important you can't
