Hi Chris (and all others),
This seems to me a very common "problem". I managed it too with different
approaches including complete on the fly code generation, but I don't think
that I have already the perfect solution.
Does anyone have more information on this topic?
bye!
Dominik
Metatable
Suppose you've got one db table (meta-table) desribing the content of
various other tables, for instance
ID
tablename
fieldname
fieldtype [integer|textarea|choicelist|link_to_other_table|....]
default_value
permissions
The easy part: make an interface so people can design their own db table,
the description of every field goes into the metatable and the field is
added to the datatable it refers to. With templates one can now quickly
make show/edit/add/overview pages. I managed that.
Now I want to have choice lists that come from new tables. For instance:
with this system they made a table
person (gender, name, etc), now i want to add a choice list of
institutions, where the institutions are in another table (institute
name, address, etc). Doing this directly is easier than doing it via
this extra table. Let them use a class?

You could put logic in your header and footer file not to display output
if $_GET['action'] == 'print'.

|
| Hmm - can't work because the variable "$header" doesn't include the string
| "include("$header");".
|
| Try it this way:
|
| <?php
| include("../config.php");
|
| if($_GET[action] == "print") {
| $header = null;
| $footer = null;
| }
|
| if ($header) include($header);
| ?>
|
| // html
|
| <?php if ($footer) include($footer); ?>

mail() does not support authentication. You may want to try this class
that lets you specify the authentication credentials and comes with a
wrapper function named smtp_mail() that sends the message to a SMTP
server that you specify:
http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage
You also need this class to do the actual SMTP delivery:
http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass

There is another php mailer class which is really good (and includes
authentication among alot of other things).

Hi All;
I am trying to decide how to lay out a site with a lot of articles, and I am
wondering if query strings get spidered by Google. I was thinking it would
make for an easy search engine if I could put the articles in fulltext
searchable MySQL columns, but I do not want to lose the ability of search
engines to spider them. Otherwise, I believe there is a way to convert the
quert string to a trailing / so it looks like directory structure, does
anyone have info on that?
Thanks,
Mike Hillyer

Hi,
Dynamic queries are googled as far as I know (*old* search engines
probably didn't do this).
Search InterAKT and you'll see that we have all the pages indexed - and
our site is completely dynamic. (index.php?page=4_5, etc)

A better solution - make your pages look like static
html pages:
Search Engine Friendly PHP Pages
http://zend.com/zend/spotlight/searchengine.php
Search Engine-Friendly URLs
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/485
How can I pass variables to a script in the url like
/script/var1/var2?
How can I pass variables in a form that won't scare
off search engines?
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/124
Apache ForceType Docs
http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html#forcetype
I even add a ".htm" to the article id and then do a
str_replace().
Remember to make sure that you are doing some type of
validation of the data that is being passed via the
URL.

Hi all,
I have an array that gives me this when I do:
print_r($my_array);
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[dra_id] => 5
)
[1] => Array
(
[dra_id] => 8
)
[2] => Array
(
[dra_id] => 9
)
)
using a foreach() I want to create a variable with a unique incremental
name for each of the values.
for example:
$dra_1 = 5;
$dra_2 = 8;
$dra_3 = 9;
How would I do this? A variable that has a variable name based on a
counter in the loop? Not sure the syntax for that.
Thanks
Charles

something like this...
while(list($key,$val) = each($my_array)){
$n = 'dra_'.$key+1;
$$n = $val['dra_id'];
}

With the apparent very sad demise of Wrox (http://www.webstandards.org/
for details. This has also been reported on the webdesign list, although
the Wrox website itself doesn't seem to have anything) does anyone know
if "PHP MySQL Website Programming Problem-Design-Solution" will be
published?
According to their site it was due in "March", Amazon.com reports March
21, and Amazon.co.uk reports March 11th. Did it "get out of the door" in
time?
It would seem that Glasshaus are also gone (http://www.glasshaus.com/
for details) :(
Glasshaus & Wrox did good books, I thought. I'm sure they'll be greatly
missed, assuming they're not bought by anyone, or some other sort of
miracle can be arranged...

This is a sad day, indeed.
It seems that web developers tend to skip reading books to improve
knowledge, and rely on web/google/this newsgroup, etc

The most efficient way to solve your problem is with a PHP extension I
developed. It handles constants and provides a type of persistent variable
too. It has been immensely useful for my projects.

Hey all.
Quick question:
If I have a function that, say, prints out the months in a year, and I call
that function within a 10 cycle loop, which of the following is faster:
1) Have function months() return months as a string; set var
string_months = months() outside of the loop; then echo string_months within
the loop
-- OR
2) Just call months() for each iteration through the loop
I'm not sure how PHP interprets option number 1.
Guidance for the clueless much appreciated...........

Hi all,
Is or has anyone here been part of or started a PHP user group? I am
thinking it would be a great thing to get started in my area (maybe one
already exists?) and I was looking for suggestions on how to go about
it and things to know before getting started, etc.
BTW. I live in Southern New Jersey (USA)
Please feel free to contact me off list.
