[Vfs-devel] class.DBI progress + new structure

[Abdul-Wahid P. <ee...@we...>]

Hi,

I have ported the vfs_auth, db_wrapper and header to use class.DBI. Also, I
have changed some of the main features over to use class.DBI. The rest is
still broken until I can complete the transfer.

I have also rearranged the code. You will find things here:

lib/   
- header.inc.php3

lib/db/
- db_wrapper.inc.php3
- pg_wrapper.inc.php3
- class.DBI
- class.DBD::Pg

lib/auth/
- vfs_auth.inc.php3

config/
- config.inc.php3


Note:

1. I have change the .inc files to be called .inc.php3 This is because it is
more secure as the webserver can read the .php3 because they don't return any
text. The .inc files are returned as text by Apache. I blocked this before
using mod_rewrite but since we don't want to use mod_rewrite any more this is
a better way of doing it.

2. db_wrapper loads pg_wrapper for Postgres specific functions. It loads
class.DBI which in turn loads class.DBD::Pg. 

3. I have made a couple of minor changes to class.DBD::Pg and I may make some
more. One thing $sth->rows didn't work. Also, loads of white space (see
previous mail) had to be trimmed out. I might edit it further because
transaction support isn't there. I know mySQL doesn't do transactions but
Postgres needs them for BLOBs.



Question:

1. Where should we put things that end users might want to edit like header
html and footer html?
2. I think we should think of allowing different language interfaces. How are
we going to do that?
3. Where should the button bar inc file go?



See ya,
