[Phphtmllib-devel] version numbers

[Culley H. <cu...@fa...>]

Should the version number in the example9.php have been something 
different?  I put it in at 1.0.0.

I don't mind writing examples-- as I learn a new portion of the API 
writing an example helps make everything stick in my mind.  It might 
also help in the long run for testing.  Initially I thought developing 
test cases would be the way to go but writing test cases for UI code is 
kind of difficult-- ultimately it needs to look right.  The new web 
testing stuff built into Simple Test 
(http://www.lastcraft.com/web_tester_documentation.php) might be 
useful-- build up test cases for each of the examples... another some 
day project.

I need to modify my editor (vim) to get my commenting style in sync 
with yours before I publish the examples.  I have been using a bulk 
comment/uncomment module that just puts // at the front of a line 
rather than the

/*
  *
  */

style of comment.  Need to go dig around on the vim site to see if I 
can find something that will do this...

Howdy,
  Thanks :)  It's actually not much work for me to put the examples on th=

I just have an array defined of the examples that I want to show on the s=

Maybe I should update the site to get the examples dynamically.  Go ahead=

check in any examples you have, just make sure they have a lot of inline

So I put together a sample .htaccess file that people could put in in

Also, I put together a phphtmllib page on my usually neglected wiki:

The transition from PEAR probably wouldn't be too bad-- I could 
probably just write up a global find and replace script for object 
methods and then manually do the one's whose arguments don't match.  
Someday I will do this.  It is on the someday pile.

This is ready to go but Sourceforge CVS seems to be on the fritz.

The OO-ness of phphtmllib is one of the primary features I think.  
Unfortunately the sites I maintain are basically a sequential series of 
include files so I can't use the PageWidget.  I am just rendering html 
fragments... Someday I would like to convert everything to using 
PageWidgets but I get a little dizzy just thinking about all that work.

Very slick!  This widget is the crown jewel of phl...

Hey so I was just testing a form for cross site scripting vulnerability 
and this code executed in into the confirm page:

<script>
alert(location.href);
</script>

Single and double quotes are escaped so that solves a lot of problems 
but I'm sure there is a way to do something malicious without using 
quotes.  So this could be handled in the form code but what about 
tackling it higher up, say in HTMLTagClass?  If there were a flag 
method like

HTMLTagClass::scrub_data(bool $scrub = true)

that, when set would scrub the output of any data rendered in any html 
tag.  Writing secure pages would be much easier if this could somehow 
be called once for a container and recursively effect all contained 
objects.  Or better yet something like:

HTMLTagClass::register_callback_scrubber()

so you could set exactly what you want done to the data.  Sometimes 
strip_tags() other times nl2br(), myFunc() etc.  Maybe this isn't 
practical... Just brainstorming. :)

----yah I hear ya.  I've done template based apps before, but they are
invariably a mess.  A lot of folks say that templating gives you the sepe=
ration
of logic from presentation, but not really.  The entire logic of any temp=
late
based app, spends all of its time populating replacement variables which =
are
specific to the presentation it wants.  So I don't really buy into it.  T=
his is
besides the overly ornate and complicated template parsers, which just do=
esn't
makes sense to me.  The only way I'd ever go w/ a 'template' style is usi=
ng
include().
  I've always been a big fan of OOP, and widgets for html seemed to make =
sense
to me at least. =20

---you almost have it.  action_button() returns a button object that is p=
laced
in the actionbar.  So the proper way to do it is to override the
actionbar_cell() method and return the buttons you want to see there

function actionbar_cell() {
  $c =3D container();

  $c->add( $this->action_button('test', 'test'),
           _HTML_SPACE,
           $this->action_button('foo', 'bar_url.php?id=3D'.$_REQUEST['che=

  return $c;

It didn't work-- It might have been specifics of the PEAR::DB object I 
was throwing at it-- I will make sure before I change anything.  I will 
also test mysql.

I would love to switch to ADODB but I have 700 or 800 files using 
PEAR::DB and at this point I don't want to use it *that* much :)

I have been kind of looking for a project to contribute to.  Everyone 
is so hot on template engines lately and they just don't do it for me-- 
phphtmllib is much more my style.  I'd like to see it become more 
popular... eventually I want to write some more examples and tutorials 
which will hopefully make it more accessible to people.  Get more 
people involved and that will mean more widgets.

One more question.  I was tinkering with a DataList and I wanted to 
test the action column stuff.  I tried this in user_setup()

         $this->add_action_column('checkbox', 'FIRST', 'payment_id');
         $this->action_button('test', 'test');

and the checkbox worked but the action button did not show up.  What do 
I have to do do get an action button?

Hey Walt,

Tried to find you on irc yesterday without much luck...

I am going to keep working on the form wizard but it is going to take a 
while.  I need to learn the internals of FormProcessor and FormContent 
and it is going to take a while.  I am working on setting up xdebug so 
I can actually step through the code.  I am going on vacation next 
Thursday for 12 days and I am going to tinker with it while on the 
road.

Meanwhile I started working with DataList-- pretty slick!  Specifically 
I was working with the PEAR+postgresql flavor.  Right out of the box it 
wouldn't work and I had to hack the internals a bit to get it to work 
with postgresql.  I noticed that at some point you created 
PGSQLDataListSource so I am assuming I was seeing known issues with 
PEAR + postgresql.  I am wondering if my changes would be a good patch? 
  If so I can test them against mysql to make sure I haven't broken 
anything there.

----aaahhh ok.  I see the issue.  If you look at the theme.php output it =

 Try
uncommenting the css style in main.css for .menublock   make the height:2=

uncommented.  See if that helps some.  This is just a css/html issue. =20

You can customize the css styles for any of the phphtmllib widgets withou=

hacking the widget's source.  Check out the code in the phphtmllib/css di=

----yah this might be helpfull, but that gets phphtmllib into the realm o=

framework, instead of just an html library.  What password checking algor=

would one use?  Some use myslq's built in password(), others would use an=
 md5,
others could use blowfish, etc. etc.  This is besides the fact that other=
s might
want to use a flat file for storing account info.  This widget would have=
 to
abstract the 'db' which is out of the scope of phphtmllib.  I guess it co=
uld
create an interface which a user would be forced to override to provide t=
he
checking mechanism...hmm.  food for thought at least.

-----when someone submits the login form, you do all of the checking for
authentication.  Once authenticated, then you start the session.  This al=
l
happens during the processing of the form, which happens before render() =
time
and hence before any html output.

[Phphtmllib-devel] 1) Test cite for TextCSSNav issue. 2) idea for authentication module

[Erich E. <twi...@fa...>]

1) For the issue of zooming in and out and seeing the TextCSSNav not
respect its containing table's boundaries, see
www.theexecutivecenter.com/testing/mine.php

2) One of the more difficult things with setting up a complete site
solution, at least for beginners, seems to be getting a user registration
and login system going.  I would love to see widgets in phphtmllib handle
login and so on, maybe setting flags for if you want to authenticate
using MYSQL or ADODB or /etc/passwd.  Ideally, one would be able to add
the authentication widget to your page, and it would take care of
starting the session with appropriate session variables and so on.  The
widget would have a method that you could call to see explicitly if the
user is logged in or not.

In addition to a login/authentication widget, there would be an
associated registration widget, in which you could register new users,
and maybe a change password widget.

One benefit to having these predefined widgets is that it would give
users a starting place as to knowing how the forms are all supposed to
work together.  Another benefit is that, well, I would love to be able to
just include the LoginWidget, and have that be that.  Also, such forms
that are commonplace to e-commerce could be done securely once, instead
of having all sorts of insecure hacks running around out there.

Only problem is, I'm having trouble figuring out how to implement it. 
Such as, how does one make sure that the session is started before any
HTML is output once you have authenticated the user?  Add a
this_is_an_authentication_page method to any page-like widget?  Make an
authentication widget that contains any other component which does its
stuff first and then passes control off to its children?  Something else
I haven't considered?

[Phphtmllib-devel] Problems scaling TextCSSNav menubar

[Erich E. <twi...@fa...>]

I've been playing around with the different widgets, getting myself a
nice template to work from.  I have a nice page now (mine.php --
attached), and everything stays pretty much within bounds when zooming in
and out on the page... except for my TextCSSNav menu bar.  I have it
enclosed in a table, and so I expected the TextCSSNav to respect the
boundaries of the table, but the table doesn't even resize, as if the
table doesn't recognize that it has anything in it.

I've tried everything I could think of, and I still don't know whether it
is an error on my part, or something that phphtmllib should be doing but
isn't.  It's probably just one of those dumb oversights on my part. 
Insights?

Source and css are attached.

Thanks,
