Tutorials

Matt,
I've been reading your PHP Strings Primer after reading about it in the newsletter.

I want to be able to refer to this (because its excellent), so maybe for all tutorials you should have the ability to download it as a PDF file??

Just a suggestion, LGetreu.

RE: Tutorials

For generating PDF you need, FOP (thus JVM) or PDFlib...
Not all servers support one of those techniques

Matt,
If your server supports PDFLib, I'm willing to make such a script

RE: Tutorials

I have the ability to compile anything I need into PHP. I can add PDFlib if I need to...

jorgen, hit me up at matt@codewalkers.com. I can give you a sample XML file so you can see the format I store the tutorials in. Then, we can discuss how to best do it...

thanks!

RE: Tutorials

if you already have everything in xml, the best way is XML + XSLT -> XML-FO + FOP -> PDF transformation. all you need in this step is one XSLT template...

if jorgen already knows this, it shouldn't be much work. we did this for one of our project, and only thing that is wrong with it is that it can be slow a bit, but you only need to do it once, so no big thing for you.

i can help also, but more with look of the XML-FO document than with XSLT template...

RE: Tutorials

The problem with FOP is, that the server needs JVM. Not all servers support Java...

It is actually a virtual server, but behaves exactly as if I had my own server.

RE: Tutorials

I am hosted with:

http://www.johncompanies.com

you get a virtual server with a base install of freebsd (or linux). You are then responsible for installing any and all software you need (apache, php, mysql, etc.). It comes with just ssh enabled....I would not recommend going with this plan unless you know how to admin a server...

But, if you know how to admin a server it is very reliable. In fact, I have never had a problem...The couple of times I have sent in a support ticket, it was answered within 30 minutes...

RE: Tutorials

I'll second what Matt said. I got a server through them earlier this year and must say it's the best hosting service I've used yet.

RE: Tutorials

I had a question about your tutorial on form validation. On the zipcode section you used case statements without using breaks and I was wondering if this was correct or an error.

RE: Tutorials

Within every case, there is a return statement. Because of this the break is not necessary...

"Form and Spelling Validation" tutorial

"You may be wondering why we need to validate data from forms. If we don't validate data coming in from forms, we could end up with totally <b>useful</b> information."


Well, we wouldn't want that!
