Ok there are way to many ways to do this and I am getting behind schedule so here we go:
-There is a lovely form (as it stands now in HTML); I want people to enter in data and then when they press submit a PDF is generated on the box and saved for later review by the client.
The end form is going to run on a Linux box with PHP that has limited access (think little to no console access).

Fpdf looked like the best choice but I do not want to build the PDF file if need be ( I can make it now via Acrobat Pro). That and I have found 0 examples (I live by them) that incorporates (and works!) HTML form work, $POST and FPDF.

In Acrobat Pro I can make a form, put a submit button and then give it an action; then it can magically export the data as FDF, HTML, XFDF or PDF. Horrible shame that there is no documentation to show how to catch it on the server side (email links assume the user has a email client on their machine).

At this point I just want this over and done; any hints or help?

I am building my first truly complex web application. I want to use the Zend Framework as a backbone to the whole thing. I am not sure where the best place is to get help with all of the various components though. Is there a forum that I can use that is specifically catered to Zend PHP related matters?

I just find it confusing that the documentation says all you have to do is make sure the ./library directory is automatically included in your include_path constant, but then when I look up the documentation for the Zend_Controller component, it gives me this directory structure to use:

"
The first step is to create your file system layout. The typical layout is as follows:

application/
    controllers/
        IndexController.php
    models/
    views/
        scripts/
            index/
                index.phtml
        helpers/
        filters/
html/
    .htaccess
    index.php

Using Excel, I can create table cell linewraps by using Alt-Enter.

Using PHP (or plain HTML) I can create a "XLS" file using plain tags.  How can I insert multiple lines per cell using this method?  If I use
, XLS treats each line as a new row.  \n was ignored completely.

Thanks for any suggestions.

i'm writing html with css, and i can't figure out why a specific div is taking up the entire width of its container div.

no matter what width and height i give it, it stays the same.  consequently ( i believe )  i can't get it to move anywhere on the page using margin-left:   or margin-top:    ....  it's driving me nuts.

the only thing in this div is an img that's no bigger than 245px by 233px

any suggestions?

Hi, i'm one of the 3 mods of the community girls_of_asiaand I need a list of tags in a scrooling box, like this one in dorama_ru I've already asked them but they weren't able to explain, as I've got another Style System in my community. My 2 others moderators are on the holiday so I'm counting on you. Could you please provide me with a html code so that all tags enter the scroll-bar. Have I to change my Style System? The one I have now is Generator, while dorama_ru's Style is Smooth Sailing. One question more: where do I insert the code? Please forgive me, I'm an absolute zero in these problems. @_@ So thank you in advance!

Is it possible to create a search function without using database?

If I design a site that's purely HTML, can I add a search function? There will many products on the page, and I want the user have the ability to search item name and list the page.

I wish I know MySQL and write backend. This is hard for me, probably will rely on frontpage extension.

I'm having an issue--only in certain browsers--with anchor links flickering.

Here is the page : www.juliamannes.com/FAQflicker.html
Here is the stylesheet : www.juliamannes.com/juliastyles.css

In Safari it looks good. In my client's browser (I'm not sure if this is Firefox or IE) when she hovers on the named anchors (not the links to them, but just the anchors themselves) they flicker constantly back and forth between a slightly smaller size and the size they're supposed to be. I went into Opera and was able to see for myself the random-smaller-size-thing when I hovered...

I'd love it if some of you felt like taking a minute and looking at the site and possibly lending your expertise. What's the story here? All of my hover/link/active/etc. styles seem to be set exactly the same. Did I do something dumb and obvious that I'm not seeing? Is it possibly because I have two differently-sized links on the same line?

?

I've actually been researching this problem for a few weeks to no avail, so if anyone doesn't have the answer but would like to point me in the direction of a community or forum that might be able to help, please do so.

...I feel really silly asking about this, and I did check through the memories...could someone lend me a hand, please?



...I should say, I looked at the memories, but for the life of me, I don't know what it would be called, and I don't remember the coding for it!!!

I made a banner a few months back, and wanted to put it on Myspace for friends to put into their profiles (it was for a classmate who passed away in Iraq). I had the image link inside of a box...you could copy and paste the link from the box into your profile, and BAM!, there was the banner!

I asked for help with this somewhere before, and I can't remember where that was. I swore I saved the code after I'd made it, but apparently, that wasn't the case.

Can anyone give me the HTML for that box so it could appear on Myspace? I've tried a few different things, but all I've been getting is the banner itself with some of the excess HTML code hanging off from it.


Thanks for your time and your patience! I appreciate this, and will NOT lose the code this time - I'll copy, paste, and save that sucker on WordPad! XD

Thanks again!!!!

a client of mine (a politican) wants to be able to take donations using their authorize.net account, i've never done this before. :)

i found this open-source script:
http://napersolutions.com/aim_payment_bridge.html

and it seems to do the trick just fine on my unix-based host, and is actually pretty well done (easy to edit) etc, but when i upload it to the client's host, which is windows-based (yeah, i know) it won't connect to the payment bridge.

the script mentions this if you don't get a response from the host:

// 1) You may not be https or a secure connection to Authoriznet (SSL)
// 2) It could also mean that you are not using port 443, the port
required by Authorizenet
// 3) You may not have the proper version of CURL installed that support SSL
// 4) Curl may not be initialized
// 5) Also, Apple OSX Server has a preference in the Web Server that
defaults to "enable
// performance cache" and this seems to throw requests to other ports rather
// than their default assigned ones. Disable "performance cache" and
restart the Web server.

i know #1 is correct because I'm using the shared ssl but i'm not sure about the others.

the response from the client's host was less than helpful.

--

Unfortunatley we cannot offer any further advice on how to get
authorize.net to work with our system.

Our system does work with authorize.net, however what permissions/
changes need to be done to get it to work, I cannot say.

I can confirm thatcURL 7.95 is installed on the server as well as the
port 443 is being used for the shared ssl. We are a Windows operating
system network and so the Apple Server would not apply.

You may wish to see if you need a ssl certificate that has the domain
name on it to work with authorize.net.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

--

i'm pretty much at a loss here. any help/insights would be appreciated as i don't think this client will want to switch hosts.

maybe an easier way to take donations?

I know, I suck at php.

The person who is going to be receiving the data doesn't get the html format. So I'm trying to make the form not HTML format.

and it keeps telling me there's a parse error on line 121. line 121 is the colored text.


EDIT: fixed it! ^_^ Thanks for the help!

Hello everyone,

I am using the Zend Framework for this site, but anyone who is familier with PHP should be able to help me. I am having an error message whenever I try to use the Zend_Auth component. I seem to be initializing something incorrectly.

Go this page: http://www.grandillusion.tv/index/auth/login

username: bob
password: bob

I get the error message:
Fatal error: Argument 1 passed to Zend_Auth_Adapter_DbTable::__construct() must be an object of class Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract,
called in /home/content/g/r/a/grandillusion/html/application/controllers/AuthController.php on line 31 and
defined in /home/content/g/r/a/grandillusion/html/library/Zend/Auth/Adapter/DbTable.php on line 112


I can provide the source code for AuthController.php if you need to look at it.

I've wrecked my setups enough times to be a pro at getting PHP, Apache, MySQL and Windows XP to all play together nicely. However, this time I'm running into a strange problem. I've got PHP 5.2.3 and Apache 2.0.59. Apache runs fine, PHP seems to run fine, phpinfo() shows everything as it should be. When I try to load anything that seems to have more than a single line in it, it doesn't look like it's parsing anything. I get a lot of broken bits of code showing on the screen. Things like '>' when used as operators are being parsed as HTML tags. These are scripts that ran fine on Sunday with Apache 1.0.3 and PHP 4.whatever. I'm having trouble deciphering exactly what it's doing or why, but it's obvious it's not working. I'm at an end here, for now. Anyone have any suggestions?

EDIT: Found it after staring at a script for half an hour. Know what it was? From PHP.INI:

short_open_tag = On

That was set to off. Of course I'm lazy and never actually type to start a script, however, my editor sometimes puts that in for me, which is why some scripts worked. I'd read about this setting, but never thought it might apply to me.
