[PHP] RE: PHP, Windows and COM.
Genius!
Thank you very much.
Can this example be added to the PHP Manual? All the online examples I've
seen relate to functions which you can pass the first few params and no
more. In this case having to pass the first and last param is not mentioned.
This simple example demonstrates the use of php's VARIANT() type and now to
call functions that use it.
Thank you VERY much!!
Regards,
Richard.

sooner or later everything ends up in a native c(++) function call and there
are no such things as named parameters. therefore nonpresent parameters will
be assigned a default value (iirc NULL if no explicit default value is
specified.)
so try calling
GoTo(wdGoToBookmark, NULL, NULL, "BookmarkName");
or, if it doesn't work
$empty = new VARIANT();
GoTo(wdGoToBookmark, $empty, $empty, "BookmarkName");
the difference is, that there exists two different variant types with nearly
the same meaning, VT_NULL and VT_EMPTY. PHP's NULL will be marshalled to
VT_NULL, VT_EMPTY has to be created by explicitly creating an empty variant
container in php.
ad. your previous question:
there are two other ways of importing a type library, you can either
com_load_typelib("Word.Application") which will search for the typelib
assigned to that component or you can enable com.autoregister_typelib in
your php.ini which will cause php to load the typelib for every component
you instanciate.

[PHP] RE: PHP, Windows and COM.
Hi Harald. The problem with some of the VBA functions is that the first and last parameter need to be set and the ones in the middle have no meaning and cannot be present. This can only be achieved by using named parameters. The GoTo method, as a function, in VBA would be ... GoTo(wdGoToBookmark,,,"BookmarkName") OLEView shows the GoTo method as ... [id(0x00ad), helpcontext(0x095e00ad)] HRESULT _stdcall GoTo( [in] VARIANT* What, [in, optional] VARIANT* Which, [in, optional] VARIANT* Count, [in, optional] VARIANT* Name, [out, retval, optional] Range** prop); I only want to supply What and Name, Which and Count are not valid for bookmarks. Is there a true NULL type I can send? Richard. P.S. Thanks for the OLEView pointer. -Original Message- From: Harald Radi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 5:14 PM To: 'Richard Quadling'; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: PHP, Windows and COM. hi richard, currently there is no way of calling a function with named arguments. your proposed array syntax wouldn't allow for passing arrays. on the other hand variant arrays can only be indexed arrays and not hash arrays so i could treat all string indices as named parameters. this would be a possibility though i still find it very confusing. if anybody has a good suggestion that is feasable on top of the engine (meaning without modifying the scanner/parser) don't hesitate to post it to the list. back to your actual problem: you still can call all functions without naming parameters, though you have to specify the full list of parameters up to at least the last optional parameter that should not be set to its default value (uuh, does this make sence ? actually its exactly the same as calling a php function with optional parameters). you can look up the default values for optional parameters in the components typelibrary which is browsable using the oleview tool. i hope that helps. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Virtual Host document directory.
Hi. I am using Sambar Server on Win98SE, PHP 4.0.5. All is well. The server supports "virtual hosts". I am not sure of the terminology outside of Sambar, but effectively, I can go to my browser and enter ... local.site1.com local.site2.com etc. And get different sites. I have a set of PHP scripts which are copied to each of the sites public_html directory. They are all on the same IP address (as I only have 1 pc). The server's documents are served out via localhost. I want to know the document (or public_html) directory of the site that called the PHP script. The reason is that the script needs to see if certain files exist so that the resultant HTML shows the correct info. Some of them are in both sites, some files are only in 1 or 2 sites, but they always have the same name. I assume there is a variable somewhere? Ideas/suggestions please. Thanks in advance.

[PHP] Can PHP determine if the STDOUT to a CLI script is being redirected?
Hi. Is there a simple way for a CLI based PHP script to determine if its output is being redirected to a file or piped through a filter (find, sort, etc.) I'm using ANSI escape sequences to colour the output (all working very nicely), but I want to suppress the codes if the output is being filtered or redirected to a file.

Can you try ..
# Your regular expression could not be converted to the flavor
required by this language:
# A POSIX Extended RE cannot match the start and the end of a line with ^ and $
# A POSIX Extended RE cannot match the start and the end of a line with ^ and $
# Because of this, the code snippet below will not work as you
intended, if at all.
$contents = mb_ereg_replace('^(.*)this is the test: replace(.*)$',
'\1\2', $contents, 'UTF-8');
The warnings above come from RegexBuddy. Considering the PHP examples,
I'm not sure how accurate they are.

As someone's who been playing this game for only 29 years, I like a
single exit point.
One of the issues I found with multiple exit points is that you have
to work a little harder to guarantee a return.
I always write my code so that if the function did nothing, then null
or false are the return values ...
function foo() {
$result = False;
// ... code which may or may nor affect $result
return $result;
}
If your code is heavily nested (maybe an indicator that some
refactoring is worth undertaking) and you introduce yet more code,
keeping track of multiple exit points can be a little problematic.
I suppose if you are the only developer then create a style and stick with it.
Don't be afraid of refactoring your code if you feel that a different
style is easier to work with.
If you work in a team, then once the team has determined its style,
stick with it. Even if it hurts. The hassle you'll get when your code
doesn't "fit" is far more than the learning curve you'll go through
getting the style.
Richard.

In $orm->getBook('id') should be something similar to ...
$book = new ClassBook('id');
$book->load;
return $book;
surely?

Just assuming you could alter the upload_tmp_dir setting in your code
(you can't) ...
PHP puts the uploaded files into the upload_tmp_dir BEFORE your script
runs, so changing it in your script essentially hides the uploaded
files.
PHP drops the files into directory A.
PHP then runs your code.
Your code changes the directory to B.
Your code cannot see the files PHP put into A as your code is now looking in B.
But, as I said earlier, you can't use your code to change
upload_tmp_dir. It can only be done at the system level (php.ini or
httpd.conf). See [1] and [2].

Richard Quadling.

If you use Prototype and Scriptaculous (the GUI side of things for effects and such), then you've got a winner. Something that is missing though is the more GUI-like components that come with toolkits like BlueShoes (php CMS server and client side with separatable JS components - license required depending upon usage). For just the AJAX communication, then prototype is perfectly adequate. Though the 'X' is often easier to work with if it is J as in JSON. Prototype can return JS objects from an AJAX call. PHP support for JSON is fine in this regard (though I would make sure you set JSON_FORCE_OBJECT for json_encode() to make sure empty arrays are returned as objects rather than an empty array if you are building your objects dynamically).

The whole issue is that you are using the (and I can't stress this
enough) _UNCAUGHT_ handlers.
These are the last ditch attempt / safety net for your code. It is
STILL your responsibility to pre-detect the potential errors and code
around them.
A try/catch block will be enough, as demonstrated - I successfully
capture a divide by zero.

-- Forwarded message -- From: Randall Girard Date: 2009/12/14 Subject: RE: [PHP] Re: ErrorException and set_exception_handler() To: rquadl...@googlemail.com I understood exactly what was going on in the code! (I'm no fool when it comes to this) I just thought (logically) that if the ERROR_HANDLER forces you to end the script when necessary, that the EXCEPTION_HANDLER would have a similar function... Rather, there is not a way at all to continue execution. Now that I contemplate this further, I think I prefer this anyway as I would NOT want errors firing for ANY reason on a production website! Additionally when one error happens it often triggers a number of errors (if execution continues) and when logging of course they are all logged. I would rather have just the one backtraced error log, and so forth. Thank you for your help however!

The PDOStatement->fetchAll() method will allow you to return all the
rows as an array.
http://docs.php.net/manual/en/pdostatement.fetchall.php
So, no need to iterate the result set.
Something along the lines of ...
prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();
/* Fetch all of the remaining rows in the result set */
print("Fetch all of the remaining rows in the result set:\n");
$result = $sth->fetchAll();
print_r($result);
?>
for example.

You can use a DNS-string too ...

A _LONG_ time ago, when I was using a firewall with NTLM authentication (which PHP doesn't deal with), I had to route all my calls through a local proxy. This was the code I had ... array( // All HTTP requests are passed through the local NTLM proxy server on port 8080.

$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] will/should contain the request type.
Documented as ...
"Which request method was used to access the page; i.e. 'GET', 'HEAD',
'POST', 'PUT'.
Note: PHP script is terminated after sending headers (it means after
producing any output without output buffering) if the request method
was HEAD."

Hello Tony and everyone else (is it too late to say Happy New Year and
back to work?).
I think there seems to be a bit of a chicken and egg issue with your
comments of design patterns.
Design patterns are not blue-sky, out-of-the-box, (insert some other
marketing-speak here) concepts.
They are standardized descriptions of the purpose of code commonly seem.
They are not blocks of code to be reused.
They are nothing to do with code reuse per se.
They are to show you that the there are ways of standardizing your
approach to a problem based upon others experience. They are there to
act as templates for how you should be thinking.
Do they make you a better programmer? That depends. Do you have to
play with others? Is it easier to say we use the MVC, Active Record,
Registry and Factory Patterns? If the other members of your team do
NOT know these terms, then it is easy enough to read about them and
learn what they are for and then see how they've been implemented.
They give a common base.
Consider the alternative. I used to work on ICL System 25 running dmfx
with a 4GL style language which was converted to C before compilation
(and for the life of me I can't remember its name - it was over 20
years ago!).
The code I had to maintain was written by developers who used to write
in assembler macros. That whole argument about goto in modern
languages ... well, let's just say that THAT argument certainly didn't
exist for them.
The name that I heard for this style of coding was called "ladder
logic". No structure or common style that a newbie like me could see.
New programs were bastardised from old programs. Not cleanly, just
cobbled and a few goto's thrown in to bypass the unrequired bits. Why?
Cause only the original programmer knew what was going on and they'd
died a decade ago. Literally!
Jump forward through procedural and OOP and maybe AOP.
We all learn from the previous generation ("standing on the shoulders
of giants"). So. If they'd used design patterns back when I started
out, I'd've been able to understand the code better and faster.
I'd probably take just as long to write it, but I'd've been able to
describe it clearer and easier.
Design patterns are tools to help solve a problem. The solution MAY
involve some coding.
If you follow a design pattern, then others will be able to follow your code.
Design patterns are for community development. And probably for the
non-developer interviewers who want to see if the dweeb sat in front
of them knows his (reading from script) "Active Record" from his
(reading from script again) "Active Record" (No, sorry, just said
that, ...) "MVC" (wasn't that a chain of music shops in the UK?)...
Having said that, a real programmer only knows not to use Pascal!
Pretty much everything else is up for grabs.
Regards,
Richard.
P.S. I know nothing.

[PHP] Using PHPDocumentor to document the magic functions.
Hi. To implement public readonly properties you can use getX(), getY(), getZ() methods (which then access the private vars) or you can use __get($var) to consolidate/simplify the number of methods. With the discrete getters() it is easy to docblock them. Everything is obvious, but there is a LOT of duplicate code and documentation. But how do you docblock __get()? With the magic functions __get(), __set(), __call(), __callStatic(), they act as proxies. It is NOT the proxy itself that is normally wanted to be documented (maybe in a cursory manner), but what is being proxied. If you are creating a WSDL file for SOAP and have __get() and __call(), then you would want to document each entry but without the code duplication. What is the best approach?

You only need a local SMTP server if you want to hold and relay mail.
If you want to send mail directly to the recipients SMTP server you
can do that with standard PHP.
getmxrr() is your friend here.
You provide it with the domain of the recipient and you get back the
SMTP server(s) associated with that domain.
Now, you can send the message to THEIR smtp server ...
ini_set('SMTP', );
where is one of the servers returned from getmxrr().
No authentication required.

[PHP] Casting objects.
Hello. I've got an object via odbc_fetch_object (which is of stdClass). I have an class structuresRemovalReason. I want to cast the response of odbc_fetch_object to structuresRemovalReason. The only way I can see of doing this is to not use odbc_fetch_object, but odbc_fetch_assoc and then iterate the array and populate a new structuresRemovalReason. Or an I missing a trick. I'm pretty sure I am. Regards, Richard Quadling. -- ----- Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"

That's an interesting approach.
Though I'm going to use reflection. I realise I need to hold some of
the data in strings where the data is not a string (datetimes for
example).
So, using a docblock with a customtag and this seems to be working just fine.
Extended ReflectionClass and ReflectionProperty.
Thanks,
Richard.

php -r "$o = new DateTime('1066-10-14T14:30:00+'); echo $o->format('r');"
Battle of Hastings. Just after 2:30 on the 14th of October 1066.
As I understand things, the DateTime class avoids the 32bit issue entirely.
Take a listen to the excellent PHP|Architect Summer Web cast from last

Re: [PHP] 64 Bit IIS 6 ( 32 Bit mode ) + 32Bit php connect with MS-SQL Server
But having said all of that, the php_mssql.dll uses a very old library
which may give you issues.
For the time being, using ODBC (php_odbc is built in for PHP on
Windows) is a much safer solution. You can also use the latest SQL
Native Client driver so you can talk to SQL7, 2000, 2005, 2008.
If you are used to using a DNS-less connection, then ...
$Conn = odbc_pconnect("Driver={SQL Server Native Client
10.0};Server={$Server};Database={$Database};MARS_Connection=Yes;",
$User, $Password, SQL_CUR_USE_DRIVER);
will give you the connection without the need to have a DNS entry.

Either ODBC or the MS SQL driver for PHP. Which ever suits you.
Both require the MS SQL Native Client (go for the latest).
That's it really.

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client (SQL Native Client) is a
single dynamic-link library (DLL) containing both the SQL OLE DB
provider and SQL ODBC driver. It contains run-time support for
applications using native-code APIs (ODBC, OLE DB and ADO) to connect
to Microsoft SQL Server 2000, 2005, or 2008. SQL Native Client should
be used to create new applications or enhance existing applications
that need to take advantage of new SQL Server 2008 features. This
redistributable installer for SQL Native Client installs the client
components needed during run time to take advantage of new SQL Server
2008 features, and optionally installs the header files needed to
develop an application that uses the SQL Native Client API.

This covered the ArrayObject and ArrayAccess class/interface. When
dealing with a LOT of data, this interface outperforms standard PHP

[PHP] Enforce a constant in a class.
Hello, One of the aspects of an interface is to enforce a public view of a class (as I see it). Within PHP, interfaces are allowed to have constants, but you cannot override them in a class implementing that interface. This seems wrong. The interface shouldn't define the value, just like it doesn't define the content of the method, it only defines its existence and requires that a class implementing the interface accurately matches the interface. Is there a reason for this behaviour? _OR_ How do I enforce the presence of a constant in a class? I want to enforce that any class implementing SetKillSwitch also has a const KILL_SWITCH_DATE and a const KILL_SWITCH_NOTES. I have to use reflection to see if the constant exists and throw an exception when it doesn't. The interface should only say that x, y and z must exist, not the values of x, y and z.

There is the problem. The interface is just saying that a killswitch
has been set. Not the date it was set, nor the notes. Thats specific
to the implentor.
In the implementor, they are constant.
In my mind, the interface is only saying that these elements need to
exist. Not what they are. Just like if I say there must be a method
X() in the interface, I don't define what it does.

The killswitch is something I want to tag to a class (KILL_SWITCH_SET)
The class itself will have to be documented as to why it has been
killed off (KILLED_ON and KILL_SWITCH_NOTES).

The other option would be to be able to _easily_ detect the presence
of a class constant.
Without an error.
Fatal or otherwise.
$rfClass = ReflecionClass('KilledClass');
if (in_array('KILL_SWITCH_NOTES', $rfClass->getConstants())) { ...}
seems the only way.
You can't use getConstant('KILL_SWITCH_NOTES') as False is returned
for failure with no differentiation for a False value. Grrr.
Thanks to you all for the discussion.
Regards,
Richard.

Essentially I was starting with the idea that a subclass with constant
X _MUST_ have constant Y and Z. That's what I wanted to enforce.
But, finding that defined() was enough, I now realize that Y and Z are
_not_ mandatory, but they are constants. So simply ...
$KillSwitchNotes = defined(get_called_class() . '::KILL_SWITCH_NOTES') ?: Null;
is enough and now the whole _MUST_ is gone and is now optional.
Much better.
Thank you to everyone who chipped in. Old dog should really have known
that old trick!

[PHP] Recursion issue with Zend_Soap_AutoDiscovery.
Hi.
I'm in the process of building a web service which incorporates the
ability for the server to inform the client that a particular call has
been superseded by another.
So, cut down (I've removed all the other details), ...
class ServiceDetails
{
/**
* Superseded by
*
* Details of the replacement service that is now available.
*
* @var ServiceDetails
*/
public $SupersededBy = Null;
}
When I try to use Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover() against this class, I get ...
"Infinite recursion, cannot nest 'ServiceDetails' into itsself." (sic)
There has to be recursion, as there could be many levels of
supersedence, each one providing the details of their own replacement.
The call to return the service details read the requested
services/class constants. If there is a superseded entry, it creates a
new request for service details on the new class (the recursion).
If the value is Null, then there is no recursion.
I'm using ...
new Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover('Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Strategy_ArrayOfTypeComplex');
as the strategy as the service has arrays of complex types in the output.
If I use @var string and then manually replace the type in the WSDL
file from ...
to
and use wsdl2php against this, it all _SEEMS_ to work OK.
So. Is this my best option? Or is there a way to do this that I'm missing?
Any ideas really.
Is this even a bug in the Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover class?
Regards,
Richard Quadling.

Not yet! I'm on windows and I'm not confident enough to put extensions
I've built out on the live servers.
Also, it is using VC8 and I'm on 5.3 (VC9, x86, nts). So not tested.

With a constant, PhpDoc will pick up the value of the constant and
incorporate it into the documentation.
With a method, there is no way to know the return value. The type,
sure, but not the value.
Setting a constant is by far the simplest way to deal with this.
A method to return a constant is one method unneeded.
But, as I've said, I completely missed defined().
That's all I needed.
If the kill interface is applied to a class, then the parent class can
quite happily use defined(get_called_class() . '::KILL_SWITCH_SET') to
see if the class is defunct (or whatever).
Really. It was just the defined() call I missed. Everything is now working fine.

I amended Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Strategy_ArrayOfTypeComplex::addComplexType().
Changing the (sic) ...
throw new Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Exception("Infinite recursion, cannot nest
'".$type."' into itsself.");
to ...
return "tns:$type";
and all is working just fine.
Obviously, I may be breaking something here, but I've not come across
it yet. Early days !

}
is a very common way to handle that.
Of course...
foreach(range(0, count($a)) as $i) {
}
is an alternative.
You can see the effect of the counting if you replace ...
count($a)
with ...
mycount($a)
and have ...
function mycount($a) {
echo 'Counting : ', count($a), PHP_EOL;
return count($a);
}

So, PHP script talked to NTLM Authentication Proxy Server which talked to ISA which talked to the outside world. Worked fine. The only thing I needed to do in PHP was setup a default context and all my normal file_get_contents(),etc. which needed to communicate through to the outside world worked fine. Here is the code I used ... // Define the default, system-wide context. $r_default_context = stream_context_get_default ( array ( 'http' => array ( // All HTTP requests are passed through the local NTLM proxy server on port 8080.

Does your proxy pass through all requests?
It might be easier to just set you NIC gateway to the proxy.
We stopped using ISA server with NTLM authentication.
Now, the gateway for my machine is the ISA server, so all requests go
through there automatically and we use AD for authentication.

The HTML part is a fax form. They print it out, add some stickers relating to work carried out and then fax it back (or email it as a TIFF or PDF if they have the skills/tech to do that). I use Outlook 2003 (work) and GMail via Chrome (personal). The form includes embedded images (essentially their logo as the forms are passed to their clients) and have a PDF attached ( a report from our systems about the email they are receiving). All fairly simple. 1 - Plain Text - (Please upgrade) 2 - Alternative HTML 3 - Embedded images 4 - Attachment For this, I use RMail from phpguru.org (previously known as html_mime_mail5) http://www.phpguru.org/static/Rmail The HTML I used contains limited CSS and is table based. I initially did it "properly", or so I thought. I'd used IE7/FireFox/Safari/Opera as a test of a proper HTML page with CSS to produce a nice looking form. Scaled nicely, limited shrink, etc. Looked OK in Outlook 2003 too! But when I sent them for approval to the line manager, who uses Outlook 2007, well, let's just say he didn't understand the form at all! Even when I redid it with tables, I'd used , , (proper HTML at least). In O2K7? It renders in order - header, footer, body. Great! So, the HTML I ended up with REALLY looks like something from when I was first learning HTML (I just worked it out as being 13 years ago!). So, yes. The code is horribly old fashioned. But it works. -- - Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"

I have extended the standard exception class to send me an email
whenever an exception occurs.
I treat all errors on the live system as exceptions. They shouldn't
occur. If they do, I've missed something.
But at least I'll get a near instant notification of the issue, along
with the stack and all the params involved.
Very useful.

According to http://docs.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php.php, it looks
like you should be using ...
$filename = 'php://temp';
That's it.
The actual file name is not your job.

read() only returns the filename, not the full path.
So, when the script is in the same directory, the current directory
contains the required file.
Try using ...
filemtime(realpath($f))
instead.

Run this at the command line ...
php -r "echo file_get_contents('http://www.google.com');"
Do you get the google home page?
I suspect your browser is using a proxy, but your default gateway is
set to something different
There should only be 1 WSDL url. That is the URL of the WSDL file
associated with the service you are using.
It may be cached to a physical file.
Either way, it probably doesn't know that YOU are behind a firewall.
So. You need to proxy the calls.
You can use the default stream context.
Take a look at my user note on
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-context-get-default.php.
The site it relates to is probably dead now.
You may be able to assign the proxy details to the SOAPClient.
"For HTTP authentication, the login and password options can be used
to supply credentials. For making an HTTP connection through a proxy
server, the options proxy_host, proxy_port, proxy_login and
proxy_password are also available. For HTTPS client certificate
authentication use local_cert and passphrase options. An
authentication may be supplied in the authentication option. The
authentication method may be either SOAP_AUTHENTICATION_BASIC
(default) or SOAP_AUTHENTICATION_DIGEST."
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/soapclient.soapclient.php#soapclient.soapclient.parameters)
Does any of that help?

Try stdClass.
If you know the class type, then that can be the type hint.
You can also use func_get_args() to read all the parameters and type
check them if there are MANY optional parameters.

[PHP] DocBlocking SOAP types.
Hi. I want to docblock a set of properties to be xml primitive datatypes [1]. Considering that this is the correct type for the XML/SOAP/WSDL communication, how do I "bypass" Zend_WSDL / Zend_AutoDiscovery so that these types go through cleanly. I know that as far as PHP is concerned, the type is loose and it will be my responsibility to encode the values accordingly. It is in the WSDL generation, and hence the docblocks, that I want these types to be valid. I think I can achieve this by the following steps. 1 - Create a new concrete class from the Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Strategy_Abstract abstract class, say Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Strategy_W3C (as the type are defined by W3C). 2 - Implement the addComplexType() method to validate the type against the list and return it if is OK. What I am stuck on is how do I cascade from the new class so that I can still drop back to the Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Strategy_ArrayOfTypeComplex. I think the Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Strategy_Composite is of use here, but I can't quite work out how to use it. Any ideas would be appreciated. Regards, Richard Quadling.

I want to tell the outside world, via the WSDL, that property X is an xsd:datetime (hmm ok, for that to make sense forget PHP's DateTime builtin class) How do I do that using AutoDiscovery? PHP doesn't have all the types that I can ask for. If I use PHP's types, they are all strings. So any junk can be put in. The consumer of the service isn't PHP, but (I believe) C#. So strongly typed.

Overwrote the addComplexType to parse the type (xsd: where is in the known list). Generates the WSDL just fine. Now need to see what the client can do with that.

[PHP] PHPDoc (not PhD) question.
Hello. Does anyone have any other templates for PHPDoc? I've found zym's ExtJS PHPDoc template, but this doesn't seem to be maintained and there are a few bugs (source code not styled, source code rendered as external windows with broken links, ordered and unordered lists not rendered with appropriate styling, etc.). Any suggestsions, fixes, alternatives. Regards, Richard. -- - Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"

Re: [PHP] Magnetic Stripe Reader or Barcode to PHP
quickest/cheapest way is to get blank cardboard "cards", print a barcode on them and then laminate them. That way you can build your own layout relatively cheaply. You also don't have to use black/white bars. For one our systems (Access control to buildings), we used infra-red detectable ink. When it was printed, we could only just see it in the right light. The scanners use a red laser and picked up the code easily. And the barcode was overprinted on a photo ID card and them laminated. Hope that all makes sense.
