 | I use [this](http://code.google.com/p/php-excel-reader/) for importing. With respect to modifying it in PHP, that's just some standard code that you'll have to write. If the modifications are on a record-by-record basis, then you just populate the form with values from the DB and save the result. If you want to display … |
 | A simpler way than printing might be to have a version that you can run on a local file server using a backup of the database. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki |
| | If you're willing to pay $40 then [TrakAxPC](http://www.trakax.com/software/pc/) is your best deal. Audacity is the best free (Windows) audio editor.  |
 | This hybrid thing is off topic but I was interested in the comment about problems in extreme heat and cold because I am a Camry hybrid owner. From what I was able to find in forum posts, people in Arizona aren't experiencing any significant problem with batteries in their Prius …  |

| | If all you want to do is to strengthen the login process by sending them a code that they can use as part of their login, then after they do the normal ID and PW entry, generate a random code and send it via SMS. Display a screen (from PHP) …  |
 | Re: HTML to PDF You have fields within single quotes within the longer string that also uses single quotes. Simplest fix is to use double quotes on line 25 and 38. I don't see a purpose to your closing bracket on line 39. |
 | Some suggestions on this topic: [Click Here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12272302/how-to-build-a-php-mysql-application-that-works-offline) This is probably going to be more than a simple add-on to what you already have. You may not be able to justify the extra cost and complexity unless your customers have a legitimate requirement for high reliability and availability; and, the internet … |
 | For every complex problem there is a simple solution that is wrong. G.B.Shaw  |
| | You need to look at reliability and service as well as price and features. If you read enough reviews, you often find that unlimited often doesn't really mean unlimited (and most users don't need it anyway). It's very nice to have a web host who responds quickly and tries to …  |

| | I suggest that you start with a logic diagram or some pseudo-code to lay out the logic of the program. If you can't do that, then there is no point in even worrying about the PHP to implement it because you'll never be able to debug it if you get … |

(example: [URL="http://www.videowhisper.com/?p=PHP+Video+Conference"]http://www.videowhisper.com/?p=PHP+Video+Conference[/URL] If you want to build an API, then [U]you[/U] need to have the skills and experience to do it. This isn't a job for a novice. It is doubtful that anyone … |
| | I find this to be the easiest approach. You need to format your output (in html) the way you want to see it saved to PDF. You write that output to a variable and then echo it initially to see that the format is correct. Then you can send that … |
| | Re: username or not? It doesn't necessarily have to be a choice. It only matters if you are using the email address to verify the account in which case you have use what they entered as an ID or provide another field for the email address. The other option is to allow them to … |

 | If you want to get some help you need to provide more detailed info (usually including some code) and some info about how your environment is set up. You would normally provide the info on what you have already done to try to resolve this problem and then ask a … |
| | You need to protect the code from being viewed in its original text format and you need a licensing scheme to prevent the "encrypted" code from being copied to another server without permission. [ionCube](https://www.ioncube.com/gui_docs/index.html) provides both of these functions. This will make it virtually impossible for the average user to … |

| | [start_rant] Maybe it's just me but we seem to be getting a lot of posts from newbies (more than normal) who post vague general questions or dump a whole bunch of code that isn't working and expect someone who knows what they are doing to spend a bunch of time … |

| | If you want to run PHP on your local machine you should install a LAMP package (usually called WAMP if it's on a Windows machine) that provides you with your own local server and supports MySQL (and usually SQLite) databases. PHP is part of the package but you also need … |
| | When I need to produce a PDF file, I use [HTML2PDF](http://html2pdf.fr/en/default). In this case it would require some extra work to read the Excel file and generate a report output in the format that you want in PDF. If you can get PHPExcel working it will probably be less work …  |
| | Re: PDF Page Flip There seem to be some PHP facilities for this. One example is: [Flashpageflip](http://www.flashpageflip.com/) Don't know if this will meet your needs but there are probably some other similar options. |
| | It would be easy to have icons for the standard file types and display a "PDF icon" if it's a PDF file. [This thread](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/467793/how-do-i-convert-a-pdf-document-to-a-preview-image-in-php) addresses the rendering of a PDF file but it seems that you may need more than that. You will need the ability to preview a variety … |
| | What you have shown is a static HTML form. Is this just sample output? If so, then what you need to post is the program that generated it? If not, why would you want a PDF of this page? |
| | I don't know anything about vbs but I did manage to find an answer just by doing a bit of digging (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php) If you use the format: exec('start /B "my_window" "vbs/hello.vbs"',$output,$return); Then it opens the VBS in the background. My VBS program was just a MsgBox. If you want to … |
 | I have 3 Camrys: A 2000 CE, a 2006 Solara SLE hardtop (2 door) and a 2010 Hybrid. I bought them all used. For the last two, I started out by looking at other cars (not Toyotas) but I ended up buying another Camry because the size, comfort and reliability …  |

| | You need a bit of javascript. You could escape out of php and just have the javascript but this example does it as an echo. [CODE] echo " <script language=\"Javascript\"> <!-- var answer = confirm (\"Confirm the Delete of Record $ref_num\") document.location.href='the_processing_program.php?other_parm=xxxxx&conf='+answer; //--> </script> "; [/CODE] This passes the response …  |

 | Why? One of the benefits of Paypal for the user and for the developer is that your website doesn't have to collect sensitive credit card info. You are giving a user two reasons not to buy whatever you are selling: 1. Having to enter the info twice 2. Giving up … |
| | Re: Auto Mailer It's easy enough to set a flag (by user) in the database to indicate that the email has been sent. The more important issue is: Can this set of conditions occur again, necessitating a further email? If so, there has to be some sort of reset process to end the … |
 | The rebels are allied with Al Qaeda and very anti-US. They are probably worse than Assad. They are being strongly supported by Saudi Arabia who would like to get the US involved as well. This is no-win for the US (except maybe the arms companies who like to have the …  |

| | If you are "just" a good programmer and need to have other people to give you the specs for what needs to be done (and want a steady paycheck), then you need to get a job working for someone else and that will be an uphill battle without any sort …  |
 | I've tried quite a bit of this using different tools. In my experience, Autoit is the best tool to use. This is a PC-based Basic languauge so if you need a web-based solution then this won't work for you. It uses the COM interface to Internet Explorer and it's capable … |
| | If you Google it, you will find lots of lists for the S&P 500. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=stock+market+list+of+companies+s%26p+500+by+sector Some of these (like the Yahoo one) are by sector. You will need to screen scrape to get the list into a file. I didn't see a list that you can purchase (as a file) … |
 | Try changing line 16 to use == in the comparison and see if that makes a difference. |
 | It's brighter and busier than before. Initial gut reaction was that I like it better than the previous version. As mentioned previously, it isn't mobile friendly. Had a look on my Samsung Galaxy S2. It doesn't scale down to the size of the screen (should probably have a viewport parm … |
| | If you look carefully you will see that you have an opening double quote before the Select on line 6 but there is no closing double quote on line 7. Errors in PHP often point to the first symptom of an error rather than the specfic cause. You have to … |
| | I've been watching this thread and I'm still not sure that I understand why this is a problem (but I may be missing something). If you can assemble the information into an html table (and put that into a variable), it's easy to create a CSV file. Unless you have … |
 | I wrote something a bit similar to this and it is still in production use. It logs in to a site, navigates to a specific page extracts data and then uploads that data to another site (sending the data to a custom PHP program that updates a mysql database). For … |

 | I am also a Chrome user. One of the reasons that I started using it was because my laptop has a relatively small screen size (1366x768) and Chrome is pretty minimal in terms of toolbars and so forth. It is one of the newest browsers and it has good HTML5 …  |
The End.
