I was very excited when I saw this link and the examples on the site. So I've downloaded all the files and installed them all. Now I don't know what to do with it or how to use it!?
The package doesn't have any humanly useable tutorials or quick start or even a text file describing how I would put this in a web page of my own site. Instead it seems to force me to use phpDocumentor to build the corresponding .html files. Ugh! So, I went through the extremely tedious process of (installing phpDocumentor and) building the options.ini and stylesheet.css file with a directory path that gave me carpal-tunnel... "PEAR\data\PhpDocumentor\phpDocumentor\Converters\HTML\frames\templates\DOM\ earthli\templates\media\stylesheet.css" Then I deciphered what the heck the author's README file meant to come up with thiis magic incantation which he could have just typed out and said, "run this command", or better yet, a shell script that builds the above dir path, copies the files and runs the below commands. phpdoc -f /usr/local/lib/php/HTML/Progress.php -d /usr/local/lib/php/HTML/Progress -po HTML_Progress -o HTML:frames:DOM/earthli -t /tmp/Progress/ Then trying to get what would appear to be the thing I need to actually use this tool -- the tutorial -- I get an error that doesn't give any indication of what file to look at to fix. phpdoc -f /usr/local/lib/php/HTML/Progress.php -d /usr/local/lib/php/HTML/Progress/tutorials -po HTML_Progress -o HTML:frames:DOM/earthli -t /tmp/Progress/ Parsing configuration file phpDocumentor.ini... done using experimental tokenizer Parser directory: '' not found The website doesn't give a single tutorial (or example that I could copy and change)... http://pear.laurent-laville.org/HTML_Progress/apidoc/ http://pear.laurent-laville.org/HTML_Progress/examples/ And the progress maker bombs out at the end after you go through 5 tabs of options. http://pear.laurent-laville.org/HTML_Progress/examples/ProgressMaker.php Could someone PLEASE tell me how to use this seemingly useful class? And I guess, before we even started, what I want to do is query a mySQL database every second and use the results to show the progress bar, without reloading the web page. Can that be done with this project, or did I just waste a day? Excuse my frustration please, but this seems way more complicated than it should be. But perhaps that's the way PEAR is and since I've never used it, I've been blissfully ignorant building my own things.
