Maybe something like this works for you:

class MyTemplate {

  var $Tpl = "";

  function MyTemplate () {

    $this->Tpl = new Template("/root/2/your/templates", "remove");
    $this->setMainTemplate();
  }

  function setMainTemplate() {
    $this->Tpl->set_file(array(
          "mainPage" => "mainPage.tpl"
          ));

    $this->Tpl->set_var(array(
          "foo" => "bar"
          ));
  }

  function setContent($myContent = "") {
    $this->Tpl->set_var("array(
        "content" => "$myContent"
        ));
  }

  function showMainTemplate() {
     $this->Tpl->pparse("mainPage");
  }
}



$myTpl = new MyTemplate();
$myTpl->setContent("Hello, this is my content");
$myTpl->showMainTemplate();

You can extend your class MyTemplate with other templates or other vars.


The other way is to create a function, maybe parseHeader() or
something, which prints your header (powered by a template file)
and then call other templates and then you call parseFooter() or something.


HTH,

[Phplib-users] (no subject)

[Roberto M. <rm...@cc...>]

I'm starting to use phplib, mainly for its DB, Cart and Template classes.
Great work by the way.

On the template class, is there a way to have "master" templates for the
whole site, that would be included in all other templates? It seems to me
that by having to specify the root in every templated page, it wouldn't
allow that functionality out of the box.

Has someone done that?

Thanks.

[Phplib-users] redirect after authentication

[darcy w. c. <da...@el...>]

hi,

  i'm trying to find a way to redirect to another page after being
authenticated.  i've changed phplib to redirect before authentication,
but never after.  i've looked at the auth.inc file and i can see where
the authentication is occurring, but i don't know where to place my
header("Location:) code.  Any ideas?

RE: [Phplib-users] persisten sessions

[Taylor, S. <Ste...@uk...>]

You need to create a user session using the User class (user.inc).
The User class works in much the same way as Session, apart from the data is
referenced using a users userid rather than a randomly generated session id.



e.g.
modify prepend.php to include "user.inc"

// define your user session class
class Your_User_Session extends User {
 var $classname = "Your_User_Session";

 var $magic          = "myhovercraftisfulloffeels";
 var $that_class     = "Same_As_Your_Session_Class";  // or create a
separate storage 
                                                      //class + table if
desired
 var $fallback_mode  = "get";
 var $allowcache="no";
}



// index.php
page_open(array(
          "sess"=>"Your_Session",
          "auth"=>"Your_Auth",
          "user"=>"Your_User_Session"
          ));

// Now $user object exists that works the as $sess
$user->register(.......

....

page_close();

Subject: [Phplib-users] persisten sessions


Hi,
I would like to have persistent sessions. Let's say, I would like that 
someone that comes to my site and comes back in less than 10 days, can have 
same variables registered than last time he accessed the site (some way 
like amazon). If he doesn't clear his cookies, of course.
I have my session class in session.inc with

var $lifetime = 14400;

but every time I connect to the site I get a new session, instead of 
resuming old one. Other session features work well in te site. I'm using 
authentication, db classes and session variables with success.
Something pointing me to right direction could be enought.
Thanks in advance,

Re: [Phplib-users] Cookies question

[nathan r. h. <na...@ds...>]

This has been covered here before.  Essentially you can't do what you want
with cookies becasue of the design of cookies.  Look back in the MARC
archives (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/) and do a search for the discssion
(try "cookie ssl" or "cookie multiple domian cart"), the end solution was
to pass along some data in a get string to get the other server to access
the same data directly from the seesion (requred both mchines to have
accedd to the MySQL data store).

[Phplib-users] Cookies question

[Mauricio C. <fa...@mi...>]

Hello,

I developed a small Shopping Cart using PHPLib 7.2c and PHP 3.x. Now we
required the final process of the Cart to be processed over an SSL
Connection with a different domain name.

My question is how can I preserve the cookies from one domain to another ?
How can I set cookies for both domains each time a cookie is set ?

I tried appending the session ID to each one of the URLs in the site, but
this does not work.

TIA,

Re: [Phplib-users] Is the php-lib in working conditions ..... ?

[Marko K. <Mar...@mc...>]

yes, Nathan, you're right. I did so in the past on the old list, that was
still before you took over the phplib site and all. But since quite a
while I am too busy to make a sufficient rewrite of my database
applicatioin (which is necessary and pending, as always) since I needed to
concentrate more on the stuff which should be stored in it... ;) So I am a
little out of the game. But I hope to be able to contribute again after a
while as soon as I start to add new features to my code or clean it up.

I can imagine, read your post some days/weeks ago about making a living
with this stuff. I can imagine that this is not very easy to do in a
proprietary world like this.

I admire folks like you who do so much for free projects like this where
everybody reuses, improoves and offers valuable bits of code to the rest
of the world and make life much easier for us. Thanks to you, Kristian
Koehntopp, Sascha Schumann, Maxim Derkachev ....... endless list.

Good luck!

Marko Kaening

Well, I don't think it was ever for the faint of heart in the first place
:)  We are trying to fix the brokenness, but I don't use all the modules
so it's up to you all to point out the broken things (and in a perfect
world provide patches, but hey.. I'm happy with a bug report).  I'm not
trying to point fingers, but some of these issues were news to me.  If you
find a bug, think you find a bug, something looks like a bug, please file
it as such as SF, the worst anyone can do is close it NAB, the best being
that you discover some annoying little thing that irks us all but have
never discovered.

There's also a php extension for imlib as well.  The nice thing about
imlib: imlib_rotate_image()

Better than reading each pixel in a file and moving it to it's correct
location in a new image just to get the damn thing right-side up.

I have the same feeling. I am using a modified 7.2c with an older version
of Maxim Derkachevs PHP4 session extension and I am still happy with it.
No problems up to now. But I needed a while to get to this stage since all
those minor errors where also in my original files which I pulled a year
ago. Unfortunately the PHPLIBs archives, even now the CVS version is still
not up to date and seems to be fairly non-bullet-proof. This is really
sad, since phplib itself is a very powerful tool.

Given the current situation on sourceforge one might conclude that phplib
is really nothing for beginners, only more experienced ppl would be able
to start without problems. I think I pointed that out already months ago
still on the old list at netuse, but up to now little changed.

Please get me right, I am not going to blame anybody or criticize. It's
just a fact that a beginner would run into problems if he'd like to get
started with phplib. I actually stopped updating my files, since at a
certain stage I couldn't afford to create new problems AND making my
application unstable again.

I personally know very well that it's not so easy to keep everything going
if you still have other things to do at your job and also to take care for
a project like this at the same time.

For Unix there is a gdlib 1.8.4 with gif and autoconf support aviable at
http://www.rime.com.au/gd/ . For Windows take a look at www.php4win.com.
This distribution ships out with 2 version of the gdlib one with an the
other  without gif support.

Take a look to the imlib2. This graphiclibary have some nice functions an=
d
it runs faster than the gdlib

Hope this helps

[Phplib-users] Is the php-lib in working conditions ..... ?

[Joerg B. <be...@ta...>]

Hi,

i would say no. In the cvs version thats is aviable at sourceforge the ar=
e
several  minor errors and some things that wont works as aspected.

1. In prepend.php3 there is an > missing at the end.
2. Per default there was a class created in local4.inc called
'example_CT_Cookie' but some one forget to load 'ct_cookie.inc' in
prepend.php3
3.  The registerform.ihtml canot be loaded in auth_registerform because t=
he
'$_PHPLIB["libdir"]' is missing in the include.
4.  Its possible to create accounts over the registerfrom without insert =
a
username and password. Sound not like a good idea?
5. Is the password encrytion working in the Auth_SQL class ? Using a clas=
s
that looks like
class MyAuth extends Auth_Sql {
  var $classname      =3D "MyAuth";
  var $lifetime       =3D 15;
  var $mode           =3D "log"; ## can do "log" as well.
  var $passenc        =3D "base64";
  var $database_class =3D "MyDb";
  var $database_table =3D "auth_user";
  var $nobody         =3D true;   ## true for default authentication
  var $cancel_login =3D "cancel_login";
}
wouldnt work as aspected. The password was always storing in plaintext mo=
de
into the database. I have test this with 'md5' too.

6. I cant get the $cancel_login to work  Have someone a small example for=
 me
how to works with this feature ?
7. The old 'html' documentations is outdated  or why is it removed ?
8. When using session4.inc with trans-sid there was 2 sids creating in a =
the
loginform: One with the $this->url() funktions and the other one as a hid=
den
field.
9. Using the default authentication ($nobody =3D true) and
$auth->login_if($again) in all the pages it is impossilbe to login becaus=
e
the loginform uses $this->url()  and create a url like this.
'http://foobar.com/index.php?again=3Dtrue&sid=3Dabcdef123 .' Now im going=
 into a
loop because $again is setting to 'true' and calls $auth->login_if($again=
)
again.

I'm using the phplib 7.2b/c for a long time ago and now im using the the =
cvs
version and i`m really afraid.

with best regards

[Phplib-users] HEAVY cart problems

[Feite B. <fei...@os...>]

Hi,

I have created some shopping site using phplib and extended the cart
class. Now I had  *NO* problems when using the basic functionality of
the add_item(..) method of the cart class.

Because I needed to have the possiblity to save options for an article
I created an article object that can hold the options for this article
and I extended the derived cart class with a new add_item_new(..) method
to be able to store an object in an item array .

Storing an object with this code leads to an error:

$this->extendeditem[$idx] = array (
                                   "code" => $articlecode,
                                   "num" => $num,
                                    "articleObject" => $artObj
                                   );
********
                Parse error: parse error in session.inc on line 272
********

but Session.inc has nothing to do with it !

If I make it like this:

$this->extendeditem[$idx] = array (
                                   "code" => $articlecode,
                                   "num" => $num
                                   );

... the error is gone. But then of course I don't get the object stored.

I did some testing with storing objects in an array like the code below
and that works just fine.

<?php

  $db = new DB_shop;
  $ao = array();

  $art = new Article($db);
  $art->GetDetails('AD011520');
  $ao[] = $art;
  unset($art);

  $art = new Article($db);
  $art->GetDetails('AD011521');
  $ao[] = $art;
  unset($art);

  $art = new Article($db);
  $art->GetDetails('AD011526');
  $ao[] = $art;
  unset($art);

  reset($ao);
  # Loop through all the Article objects and display their Details using
the ShowDetails method of the object
  while(list($k, $v) = each($ao)) {
    echo("----------------------- $k --------------------------
<BR>\n");
    $v->ShowDetails();
  }
?>

So my question is :

Why is it not possible to store an object by passing is to a method of a
cart object ?

Hope someone can help me out here, thanks !

[Phplib-users] Help! I don't understand how to use Sessions etc..

[White, B. <rc...@sb...>]

Hi All,
I have read all the docs and the code and am trying to implement some pages
that are secured.  This is how I want it to work.  A person logs in on a
protected page, he can go to any page offered him through a link.  If he
logs out his session/permissions expire.  If he goes "Home" the permissions
time out.   

What do you put (as far as code) on the pages called by the initial page
called at login?  And what do you put on the subsequent pages?  I just want
to verify the person accessing the page has the right permissions.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Add on the menu loop and clear out the sub-menu variable after each menu
loop.


$tpl = new Template("../templates/");
$tpl->set_file("example", "example.tpl");
$tpl->set_block("example", "MENU", "MENUS");
$tpl->set_block("MENU", "SUB_MENU", "SUB_MENUS");

while ( loop that pulls menu info ) {
    $tpl->set_var(array("NAME_MENU" => $name_menu,
                        "IMG_MENU"  => $img_menu));

    while ( loop that pulls sub-menu info ) {
        $tpl->set_var(array("NAME_SUB_MENU" => $name_sub_menu,
                            "IMG_SUB_MENU"  => $img_sub_menu));

        $tpl->parse("SUB_MENUS", "SUB_MENU", true);
    }

    $tpl->parse("MENUS", "MENU", true);
    $tpl->set_var("SUB_MENUS", "");
}

This solution is close to something I am Tring to figure out. The big =
difference is that in my case I am Tring to get it so that if there are no =
SUB_MENU entities the sub menu section is not displayed. From the way the =
example code works an empty SUB_MENU is produced even if there is no =
instance of the sub menu being generated. How would I work around this?

$tpl =3D new Template("../templates/");
$tpl->set_file("example", "example.tpl");
$tpl->set_block("example", "MENU");
$tpl->set_block("MENU", "SUB_MENU", "SUB_MENUS");

while( some loop that sets your variables ) {
    $tpl->set_var(array("NAME_SUB_MENU" =3D> $name_sub_menu, "IMG_SUB_MENU"=
 =3D>
$img_sub_menu));
    $tpl->parse("SUB_MENUS", "SUB_MENU", true);
}

$tpl->pparse("example", array("MENU"));

You mean beside telling your ISP that the summer of 1999 has come and gone?

I don't know what the workaround is, but if your ISP hasn't updated PHP,
then I'd be willing to bet (based on personal experience) they haven't
updated much else. I hope you don't have any sensitive data in your
website - that server is begging to be compromised. If you are using this
server to play around with personal projects then you will be fine, but if
you are doing work for your business or a client it is your moral obligation
to operate in a responsible server environment.

I would (and did, in a similar situation) change ISPs, explaining to the old
ISP exactly why they are losing my business.

[Phplib-users] PHPLib with PHP 3.0.7

[Benjamin S. <bsh...@cs...>]

Hi-

My ISP has PHP 3.0.7 and all I'm using of PHPlib is template.inc.

However, that file uses a method that didn't exist until 3.0.9.
preg_quote();

the actual line is line 297 of template.inc (7.2d)

  /* private: varname($varname)
   * varname: name of a replacement variable to be protected.
   */
  function varname($varname) {
    return preg_quote("{".$varname."}");
  }

is there a work around for this? 


thanks,
Benjamin

I agree -- like I said, I extended db_sybase.inc to do this for myself,
and I have used transactions extensively in my PHPLIB/Sybase code.  I
don't think my current code is clean enough, but I would be willing to
clean up what I have done for Sybase and submit it to the group if there
is an agreed-upon set of methods that need to be available for this
purpose.
