That's wrong. Offhand you'll end up printing a string. I tried this:

Re: [PHP] template usage

[Alain Roger]

I'm just reading a book on PHP and they promote quite heavily smarty as
template designer tool for presenting information and data to users.

they absolutly do not talk about pear and i'm a little surprised. That's why
i'm wondering who use what and for which reason.

Basically let's say for data/information presentation to end user...what is
the best lib (pear, smarty) ?

I'm not sure comparing Pear and Smarty is really how to go about it.
It's a bit like comparing a apples and oranges. Smarty is indeed a
template/presentation framework, but Pear is more a library of
components (as is phplib) which offers some presentation components, but
isn't solely designed towards that purpose. Personally, if I were you,
I'd go with Smarty for the time being, as it has been designed as a
template engine, so it should be easier to get to grips with.

Bit of a silly question, but it's bit me in the ass before. Are you sure
you're editing the right php.ini file? I was working on a server at work
where someone had left 3 php.ini files, all in places that looked like
they were meant to be, and the only way to find the real one was through
a phpinfo() check. Also, have you restarted the web server (Apache or
IIS) since making the changes?

I wouldn't really call them templates, they're more libraries, and they
all have their individual uses. Generally, your use of them will depend

No, not sure where the code of conduct is, but hang about for a while
and you should get the general idea ;)

As for your problem, I had a quick look at the error code you're
getting, and it means that the file was only partially uploaded. Is the
file being changed on your local machine before it's being uploaded?
Also, try to see if you can test the same script with different
browsers, and if possible on a different server. That should isolate
where the problem is.

I use TemplateJinn :)

Unlike almost every other template engine out there it doesn't require
the framework be instantiated at runtime. It can be used to generate
static HTML files or it can be used in conjunction with InterJinn or
other frameworks. For instance, I use TemplateJinn to organize and build
my MediaWiki skins too. Usually when I create a template I pull out into
separate file logically distinct layout elements. For example the header
is in it's own template, any layout panes such as banner, left column,
right column, footer, and content area are also in their own file. Then,
I use a template that groups these together where I want them.
Additionally, for often use elements I will create a custom tag so that
I can just use a single tag to simpify and centralize rendering. An
example being MediaWiki's concept of a portlet. For these I just do:


My content goes here


This generates the wrapping divs for the portlet that enables easy CSS
customization and future proofs my design so that if ever I want more
elements to the portlet design I can just change the custom tag code and
recompile the skin. MediaWiki never has to know anything about InterJinn
or TemplateJinn or that the skin it is using was create via a template
engine.

Interestingly there was a recent thread about frameworks and someone
posted a blog where some guy did a benchmark using various frameworks.
Well "Hello World" if done in InterJinn would probably be done as a
static template compilation (one expects the developer to use the right
framework tool), and thus would be on par with Apache's static content
load (faster than PHP). In other words the benchmark is a load of crap
since if you use a tool properly there are ways to make it perform while
still having the convenience of a Framework. As such, TemplateJinn can
be leveraged via InterJinn so that static content pages use the same
layout as the entire site but for which the layout was generated at site
compilation time and can be requested subsequently without invoking the
PHP engine. My guess though, is that the guy would have implemented
"Hello World" with InterJinn via a module instead of using the
appropriate framework tool just so he could crap on frameworks some
more :)

The downside... for some anyways... of the TemplateJinn system, is that
you need to be comfortable editing your HTML by hand. There's no WYSIWYG
for custom tags. Personally, I prefer hand crafting my HTML layouts. I
find the browser itself to be the best available WYSIWYG.

Cheers,
Rob.

Hmm, it doesn't mention which versions of the browsers it lists are
capable of displaying the canvas tag. I'm still using Firefox 2 on this

Ash
www.ashleysheridan.co.uk



I guess it depends how you program, personally I like to program 
everything API style nowadays, dumping out my script output/objects as 
XML then transforming where needed with XSL; you can do it client side 
or server side using http://php.net/manual/en/book.xsl.php - it is a 
nice portable way of doing things (especially when having multiple front 
ends (or using the same system for multiple sites), however as a 
standard stick these variables into this bit of the (x)html then a 
conventional "template engine" is what you need.

That's an Apache question, Ron, but it's a matter of using

Check your addons and such, Ashley.  Gecko itself (the HTML
rendering engine used in Firefox) has supported  since 1.8 I
believe, which equated to Firefox 1.5.

What add-ons would I be looking for? I was under the impression canvas
support is built in at browser level, not plugin level.

Re: [PHP] Re: template usage

[Micah Gersten]

The problem with smarty is that they are still using PHP4 as their main
language so they cannot take advantage of speed improvements in PHP5.
So, my suggestion is that if you're stuck with PHP4, go with smarty,
otherwise, find another engine that's up to date.

Thank you,

And that impression would be correct, but some plugins extend and
alter the final result.  Try disabling all plugins and addons, then
view the RGraph display.  Before I left the Mozilla project, this was
pretty much the standard response, and was usually the fix.

Re: [PHP] Alternative to HTTP_REFERER?

[Yeti]

By definition: The referer, or HTTP referer, identifies, from the
point of view of an internet webpage or resource, the address of the
webpage (commonly the URL, the more generic URI or the i18n updated
IRI) of the resource which links to it.

More detail at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referer
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616

So is a redirecting page a referrer or not? I don't know. Had no time
to translate the gibberish.

I experimented a bit with it and the most suitable solution I found
was passing the referring page on with a GET parameter ...

## A page redirecting to test.php ##


## test.php ##
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>


Referrer Test Page

alert('Referrer ('+(typeof
document.referrer)+'['+document.referrer.length+']):
'+document.referrer);



Referred page
Referring page: $page
REFERRER;
?>

Probably not Firefox 1.5.  I have FF 1.5 without _any_ add-ons here and 
all I got were the same "5 horizontal bands of grey and blue."

Opera 9.5 works ok.

Just disable the add-ons for Fx, and no such luck. Opera 9.2 doesn't
work with it either. I think it goes back to my original point that
version numbers next to the browsers that the tag will work on might be
helpful. It's a bit like saying CSS works on such-and-such browser,
without knowing what version of the browser, and what CSS property.

That's a fair point. I've never really gone into the whole template
thing myself, as I generally develop systems from scratch with a library
of components I've built up over time.

Are there any 3d libraries yet like OpenGL for applications?

The best thing I've seen so far for 3D on the web is Papervision. It's
Flash based, but the donkey work is in Actionscript 3.

The best thing I've seen so far in terms of what it's capable of is
probably http://lab.zupko.info/reflection/realz/ which is displaying
real-time reflections for an X-wing starfighter on some sort of ice cube
mirror. You have to see it to understand it. It's also damn fast as
libraries go.

Papervision.

It doesn't have to be a redirect as such - when you set the URL using
javascript, there is also no HTTP_REFERER in MSIE.

Which becomes kludgy the minute you've got other GET arguments.

You should look at developing the app so that it doesn't rely on
referrer information, as this is unpredictable as you've seen. Not just
with IE as well, because some proxy servers have been known to strip out
this information, and individual users can turn this off if they know
how.

What are you doing with it? Maybe there's another solution to the
problem.
