My understanding is that the namespaces are intended to help organize the classes in large projects (and are not perfect). Is it considered good style to use a class simply to box related functions? For instance, a class called "files", contains functions I need for dealing with files - and the instantiated object is _simply_ used to access these functions - the instantiated ... http://readlist.com/lists/lists.php.net/php-general/8/43109.html Thu, 15 May 2008 08:21:20 GMT Hi All. This is a quick question. A client of ours wants a solution that when a PDF document is uploaded that we use PHP to scan the documents contents and save it in a DB. I know you can do this with normal text documents using the file commands and functions. Is it possible with PDF documents? My feeling is NO, but perhaps someone will prove me wrong.

I'm evaluating Zend Studio for Eclipse and it's certainly making some features that I'd hope would be trivial, extremely onerous. I'm simply trying to take an existing project which I started in TextMate and import it into ZS for Eclipse with Subversion controls attached to the project.

I know many use Java script to do various validation. However, since there is no way to be sure the data sent to the server is actually valid, you have to check it in your php code on the server anyway. Granted you don't have to, but if you don't, you are just asking for someone to hack your system, or at the very least screw up your data. So my question is since you ... http://readlist.com/lists/lists.php.net/php-general/8/43094.html Wed, 14 May 2008 22:37:03 GMT I am trying to get a child class to pass an array of valid keys to it's parent when the constructor is run, and the parent appends the data to one of it's array of valid keys.
