Hi kang jia
I must agree that a framework is/should be optional. Having said that, I have just fallen hopelessly in love with CodeIgniter.
It's easy to setup and takes about half a day to read the documentation and get an idea of the basics. It is also highly customizable if you know what you're doing.
If you're new to PHP i will strongly recommend you to NOT using a framework, since you have a lot of basics to...

There's a problem though.... passing 01-02-2007, there's no way of telling if the user meant 1st of February or 2nd of January. It's mostly a problem on international sites i guess. Personally i write how the user should input the date, and trust they are not complete morons (i ofc check that it is a valid date of some sort)...Leave a comment:

Hi Rob
I don't know what your exact intent is with the PDF, but sounds to me like it's just for making the printing possible.
Might i suggest you putting this into html instead and with a simple javascript you can print out the page.
This takes a lot off of your hands trying to produce PDF, and you can maybe concentrate on making the other things possible.Leave a comment:

Hi Eric
If your picture is 300dpi, I'd suppose saving the picture will still produce a 300 dpi picture unless you alter the size of the picture.
I would advise you not to use a php-method to toy around with images used for printing (if that is your objective). In this case i think Java would be better (don't know how much better tho)

I figured it out :)
Problem is that user rights don't function correctly on fat32 partitions, and in my case it was mounted without rights to others
i changed the umask in /etc/fstab to be the correct and i was afterwards able to view the page correctly :)Leave a comment:

Why do you want to allow users giving no password? Isn't that a major security hole?Leave a comment:

heh.. forgot to say
You link to this file, either with onclick or with <a href=""></a>, either way you put the file id in the query like http://yoursite.com/path/to/download.php?fi d=3245
and then you should get a download queryLeave a comment:

Hi nathj
The answer is in fact painfully simple. What you need is headers (I don't remember your other posts so I don't know how much you have messed with this)
this should get you going (hopefully)
this file we call "download.p hp"

A file permission problem: Allow apache to use a webroot on mounted device
Hi
First of all, let me say that I'm fairly new to Linux.
My problem is that I'm not entirely able to uninstall windows partially because I need to debug webpages in MSIE. So what i would like to do is have a wwwroot on a device readable by both windows and linux, for this i use a fat32 partition.
I've managed to set virtual hosts up on linux with apache, but so far only in the /home directory. What i... -

The best way to solve this is by using javascript
you can either allow the user to input a date string and parse it with regexp like mm-dd-yyyy (the validation can be done with either javascript or PHP)
OR
you can make selectboxes for date, month, year (and hour&minute if you want)
according to which year & month is selected, theres 28,29,30 or 31 dates to choose from.

I'm with you that far pbmods :)
In this particular case I have in my mind, the object is in fact instantiated, so when this is the case, is there a speed/memory increase to gain using one method over the other?
take this example
[CODE=php]
<?php
class MyClass
{
function my_static_funct ion()
{
echo "This function is static";

it is actually possible to send post data from php. saw an example a couple of days ago... should have bookmarked it (damnit!) but i believe it was hidden in some library in the php manual link
This is definately the way, unless you want to use ajax and then post to your own site upon submitLeave a comment:

Best way to call an object method
Hi
I'm sitting here making a method in a object. The method doesn't really require instatiation of the object, and then i started wondering.... is this correct, and what is the best way to call this method?
meaning:
This method could actually be a global function (what it does can be used in other conjuctions) but I'm not really planning to use the function in other context than the specific object.

Have you instantiated $graph? since you get "false" when using get_class($grap h), this means $graph is not an object at all.Leave a comment:

@BigM again :)
you need to put your formfields inside the form tag, also if you wrap a div or table tag around them, if you don't, nothing will get send with the form :)
and make sure to set the method attribute too, cause the GET method might not always be the browser default :)Leave a comment:

Hi BigM
Taking the code you posted above, you see you named your textfield "criteria[]"
as you know the field's values can normally be collected with $_POST or $_GET. This is actually still the case, the only thing is that when you put in the square brackets, your result will be an array :)
if you wanted to gather all the inputfields you would use something like
[CODE=php]

Personally i don't think it's such a bad idea, as long as your site isn't visited as much. The reason it's a bad idea is that it's a really slow process reading so much data from a database.
BUT for security reasons, this could very well be a good idea since the only way you can access the pictures, is through a server side language.
If possible, it's better to store images and files over you webroot, and then access them stil...Leave a comment:

Yep that is infact a pretty good solution. Haven't needed this type of thing for an instant messenger or anything, but when i do.... hope you don't mind me borrowing your idea ;)...Leave a comment:
