[PHP] Re: XUL and PHP - what's your opinion?
Ray Hauge wrote: I keep hearing about XUL, and I was wondering what the opinion of the masses was on this subject for an internal application where the browser is pre-determined. From my point of view I, having only read about it and not used it, is that XUL would make your applications look more like a desktop application. Some of the widgets they provide come in handy, like tables that can sort themselves instead of using AJAX/another page hit. The down sides that I see is there would be a 99.999% chance of a learning curve for any new developers that come into the company. Also, I'm not sure if XUL would cause extra programming overhead than regular HTML/JS. XUL definitely contains a huge learning overhead plus a lot of getting used to. In Firefox, at least, XUL is very difficult to debug and has given me a lot of headaches. On the other hand, you can do far, FAR more with it than with Javascript, including reading and writing to local files and altering the browser itself. If you want to release an extension for Firefox, you'll have a lot more freedom with XUL if you can get over the initial hump and your program won't necessarily be *too* big. --Daniel -- Sparse - a new way to write MySQL-based programs with little to no actual programming.

[PHP] [Announcement] Sparse 1.05b Released
Yep, another beta release of Sparse, my framework for MySQL-based programs without the programming. A significant new release, which introduces some changes that are not compatible with previous versions. Upgrading isn't hard, don't worry! New features include a support for sorting data and for printing out the number of results, further useful attributes for quick templates, and a "tag referencing" system which acts similar to CSS classes in that it allows you to reuse attributes from previous tags, or to import them entirely from a separate page. You can define default attributes for all tags as well as "classes" of attributes. As usual, testers are needed!

[PHP] [ANNOUNCEMENT] Sparse v1.06b released
It's been a little while, but a new beta version of Sparse is out. This adds a warning log, a button to save either the current page or the whole dataset as a CSV file, a tag that turns into a form that allows the user to view specific rows, and a bunch of bugfixes.

[PHP] [ANNOUNCEMENT] Sparse 1.1b released - create Ajax forms!
A big new update for Sparse, the HTML-based framework for writing MySQL-backed CGI applications easily and quickly. Now, the generated forms output in fully degradable Ajax, meaning that if a user doesn't have Javascript available or if an error occurs, the regular functionality will still work. Documentation has also had a significant overhaul. If you haven't tried Sparse yet, now's the time! --Daniel -- Sparse - a new way to write MySQL-based programs with little to no actual programming.

Re: [PHP] [ANNOUNCEMENT] Sparse 1.1b released - create Ajax forms!
No, not yet. I admit to being something of a novice when it comes to Ajax, and as has been stated, this is still in beta and I have yet to get any significant beta testers (most of the new versions are mainly new functionality rather than bugfixes, all of which I somehow discovered myself). On the PHP side I've tried to shield against SQL/PHP injection as best I could, but of course no one's perfect. It does still need to be destruct-tested. --Daniel Ed Lazor wrote: Has anyone checked this for security?

[PHP] Sparse 1.0b - framework for MySQL programs
I apologize if this was already posted, but I didn't see it go through.
I'd like to announce the first release of Sparse, a new way to
create MySQL programs without actually programming anything! Sparse
takes care of handling the SQL data, navigation, displaying errors,
input validation, and caching. Using a few extra HTML tags allows
surprising power, yet remains easy to use and very customizable. It can
save a lot of time and effort during development! It's especially
well-suited for creating admin back-ends of sites that use MySQL.
This means that you can actually create entire MySQL-backed
programs without using a single line of PHP code. However, more complex
forms and queries can be easily integrated with PHP code as well.
The Sparse homepage is here: http://sparse-php.sourceforge.net/
Besides looking for beta testers, I'd also like to know the best
way to spread the word about it, so if anyone has any comments or help
they can offer, please do so!
Thanks!

Re: [PHP] Sparse 1.0b - framework for MySQL programs
I haven't been able to install PHP5 on my own server, so I don't know for sure, but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't. 8-) Part of why I need beta testers. --Daniel does it run on php5? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Sparse 1.0b - framework for MySQL programs
Well... okay, I'll be honest, I never really *wanted* to install it. 8-) And I'm not exactly a server guru (even updating PHP4 proved to be too much for me... for some reason a bunch of dependencies which were fine when I got the server no longer work). er why not? just install a second copy of php into a custom (e.g. your homedir) dir and use that - check the archives for Rasmus' quick guide to setting up a second apache/php installation. possible reason number 1: XML handling in php5 is rather different than in php4, they offer different xml tools - chances are the exntesion you use possible reason number 1-N: objects work differently in php5. Well, I don't use objects too extensively... I took a look at the migrating from PHP4 to PHP5 page on the manual and there didn't seem to be anything that would have messed it up. I wasn't aware of the XML differences, so yes, that may be a problem. I won't know until someone tries. 8-) Thanks, --Daniel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

'length' is null or not an object
Where is this being called from? Checkboxes don't have a "length"...
if u declare is like name="list37" doesnt PHP get that as an array
even though it doesnt have the square brackets?
No, you need the square brackets to return an array of values.
Otherwise you'll only get the first one.
