[PHP] PHP Frameworks
First time caller; long time listener.. I have been looking at various PHP MVC frameworks; Limb3, Symphony, Mojavi, Navigator, WACT, etc. I'm looking for any input anyone might have regarding which framework seems to be the most promising? Thanks, Marc

RE: [PHP] CSS & tables
Um... sorry to jump in as a late arrival yet there you go What limitations? You could provide a layered layout using CSS and png graphic format. As for setting up columns check out float and clear and you're all set. TABLE, TR, TD, TBODY, etc were never intended to be used in the manner we see today. If you are blind and you hit a site with a mess of nested tables then.. well you might leave because of the garbage you have to listen to when the page loads. Speaking of which, correct me if I am wrong and my info is out of date but TABLEs are loaded one at a time by browsers and cause longer load times than necessary. All in CSS is the way to go. CSS3 will make our lives easier and will contain so many new features that it will be released in batches (modules) Sorry, I just couldn't read that statement about CSS being limited without speaking up. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php __ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4080 (20090515) __ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Seems that CSS calendar script is only working in IE8 and the latest Firefox (didn't check it on earlier versions of FF) everything else showed layout issues. Not bad for a "quick throw together" though. As far as Semantics et al. The next 2 years the web will be shifting into newer directions, become much more robust and "intelligent". Obviously it isn't a true intelligence yet. Things like Wolfram Alpha are still to be seen. I hear a lot of hype regarding this new Google killer yet until I see it...

RE: [PHP] Accepting Credit Card Payments
-Original Message- From: Gary [mailto:gwp...@ptd.net] Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 8:48 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Accepting Credit Card Payments Sorry, the first post were put in the wrong place... Not sure this is a direct PHP question, however I know I will get some answers here. I have a customer that I am bidding a small project for. They want to be able to accept credit card payments for enrollment into a class. Their customer will fill out a form and pay via CC on the site. Is this something that I should just look to the host for whatever shopping cart they have or is there an easy to administer software package that I should look into. Or since it is a one item cart, is this something that I could code? Thanks for your help. Gary Your choices in the US are either use a service like PayPal or to call around and find a merchant service that will approve an account for this activity. The second requires transaction records for the past x years or possibly they may ask for your tax returns for the same period. They also will want to know what your average monthly sales are using CC's and how many charge backs you have. Charge backs are bad. The second MAY be had through the clients bank and they should start there. Since this is a virtual product, nothing tangible is being sold, it is considered high risk and this will limit the companies you can get a merchant account from. The first requires the client to register with PayPal and to go through their verification process. PayPal bought Verisign's PayFlow Pro years ago and as such now offers a more professional option than just the old standard. If the client doesn't have a huge revenue stream yet then PayPal may be their best bet to get started. Once you have settled on the merchant account you then need to determine if you need an SSL, normally if you are applying for a "regular" merchant account they will want to see an active SSL on the site they are approving the account for BEFORE they approve you. Lastly, even though I find PCI compliance to be just this side of worthless, you still should look into it and do your best to make sure the site will at least pass the test. Let me clarify my negative statement by saying that everything that is required in the PCI compliance and DSS I was already doing as a matter of what I considered to be common sense.

In both cases you should have your script(s) work in the https directory. If they want to process the cc information themselves in their shop, then that information has to be provided to them in some secure fashion. If they want to use email, then that's a problem because email is not secure. You will have to work out a way for them to log on to a secure area and review the cc information themselves -- this is a clumsy way to do things. The more acceptable approach is to use a credit card clearing company like PayPal.com. They have different types of merchant accounts which offer different types of processing and features and fees. Go to PayPal.com and check it out. Basically there are two types of collection systems. [1] One where you direct the user to PayPal with the item(s) they want to purchase and then PayPal does everything (i.e., collects the cc information and approves the transaction -- the simplest); [2] Two, where you collect all the information and then contact PayPal for authorization (the more complex). While [1] is simpler [2] allows you to have full control over the user -- IOW, they never leave your site. In both cases, after the user has been approved, you are notified of the purchase, you are are credited with the purchase AND the user is [1] or [2] should be directed to a "Thank you" page. While customers like to say "This is a small project" it really isn't and does come with an element of liability on your part. For example, if you somehow make user cc information public, then you have big-time problems. That's something you should consider in your bidding. Good luck, tedd -- --- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com Amending my previous reply, I have to agree with those that recommend you hand this over to someone that has experience doing this. I oversimplified the process I feel due to the fact that I have done this so many times, I even helped debug a few premade API's, it is second nature to me. Before you decide to dive into this yourself, consider this: you are asking normal folks to trust that you will protect their CC and personal information in you and your client. When they commit to making the payment they trust their info won't be subject to identity theft and/or CC fraud. Also, I know what you mean about getting your servers certified. It is a lengthy process. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php __ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4091 (20090520) __ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It seems to go without saying that you should also be aware of your host environment and any limitations, etc that may arise. Fort Knox has the security that it does because of what it is contracted to protect while the banks have their own pared down version of security based on what they are protecting. As far as which version of PHP to include in your curriculum, I suggest staying with 5.2 for now and add in information about 5.3 and the changes we expect to see and what they mean to all concerned.

I am wondering if anyone here can provide some hands-on feedback about this OS cart such as can it handle large catalogues of products and high amount of traffic?

Actually, %5C is a \ character, % is %25
Why it is adding a character that is used in local address strings is
baffling and I think a clue as to what is going on. Is it possible it is
mashing a local file address into a web address?
BTW, IMHO using spaces in folder and/or file names is bad practice and
should be avoided.

You were absolutely correct in your statement about not being able to directly assign the value of a javascript variable to a PHP variable.

It seems to me that it doesn't think it is being passed a string. Have you
tried putting in a static test string like
$new = nl2br("Hello/n World!", false);
echo $new;
or alternatively
echo $string;
and see what is being passed.
Thank you,

Use the package manager to check and see if that was installed. I'm not familiar with the command line for rpmi, having used Yum on Fedora mostly, but on that you would just do a 'yum list apache-mod*' to see what apache mods were installed and available, so I assume something similar exists for rpmi.

Can you post a link; if not: Can you show the contents of the php file being downloaded or at least the first and last 15 lines? Not sure why the method would make the diff yet here we are. You could check the variables_order string in your php.ini file. And have you tried adding enctype="multipart/form-data" or enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" (more suited for GET) to the FORM tag ie The reason I asked the last part is because you stated that it works fine if you pass via GET and not when you use POST and because they are both encoded differently and it could be that the server isn't set correctly to decode $_POST data and so does the download instead.

The issue is this, Apple in all of its wonderful glory decided to drop support for pdf via the acrobat plugin. Didn't bother to tell anyone about this.

Either way, asking for a "Sample" is not the best way to determine a coders capabilities. Anyone including a three year old could copy and paste anything and claim it as their own. When it comes to contracting a coder it is probably best to ask them for a portfolio and/or references. If you want to hire them instead as an employee then maybe you could have a competent coder interview them.

Here is what I can tell you, you need to make use of the functions built into WP and the theme you are using. The function(s) you need to use are as such: is_front_page(); is_home_page(); is_page(); etc and you can find the documentation in the Wordpress Codex here http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags You could, alternatively, create your slider as a plugin; create a shortcode hook, and then call the sliders to the page with the shortcode in the dashboard WYSIWYG for that page/post.
