Introductory Documentation ?

Hi folks,

I've downloaded the phpwebtk. There's been all kinds
of work done there, and so-far everything I've tried
seems to work.

Is there an example worked-through which shows how
the toolkit would be used for PHP development ?

Yes, appologies because I am relatively new to PHP.

For example - I see templates that people have put
alot of work into. How do you use these templates in
an application ?

Thank you for any pointers, or links.

Excellent work. Good contribution. I'd like to learn
more, if possible.

Problems getting it running on Apache in Linux

2004-11-29T23:16:18Z

Ok, here's my test result, and my co-developer that is
the PHP developer of the C3MS project has about the
same troubles installing it (though I'm not surewhat
exact problems he has encountered)

Anyways, as I'm not too experienced with setting up
webserver enviroments myself (though some little) and
as I also want to replicate a scenario for one end-user
of our project if we integrate with your projects
framework (you could call it a live C3MS end-user
scenario if you will).

Anyways, here's how my story goes withattempting to set
up phpWebTK in Linux on the apachefriends.org XAMPP
release package of Apache with PHP 5.02, MySQL4 and
much any other goodies for a normal fairly secure
enhanched webserver setup (with SSL and mcrypt and mhash).

I follow the phpwebtk Install instructions best I can,
setting these values:

define('CLASS_PATH', '/projects/phpwebtk/'); //my test
dir which I also have added and got working with the
Apache webserver as http://localhost/phpwebtk/

Then I create dir /var/sessions and enter it in the
phpwebtk.xml file according to the install
instructions. Now my problem is I don't know what user
the XAMPP Apache server uses, and the only way I can
then get phpWebTK to work is to set all permissions to
all (which can't be secure the least) on my custom
session dir, created elsewhere as per the install
instructions. Doing that makes the examples work fine,
else I get this error messages running the default
phpWebTK directory.

"

"

Any ideas how I solve this? How do I get permissions
right with the session dir, as well as the
phpwebtk/sampleview AND phpwebtk/sampleview/templates_c
dirs (which I had to do the same to, to getthe examples
running)? Isn't there any smoother soloution? Possibly
one, where the implementor musn't be doing so much
permission settings nor so much manual? For our
project, targetting end-users of any level of webserver
and server admin management experience this is crucial,
if not only for ourselves :-P

Thanx for a great software, I got to see it running
when I opened up all permissions there a while. It
looks great! I hope you will see this is rather a
usability/installation test report than any harsch
critisism. I'll keep on figuring what to do, but please
let me know of any soloutions and/or suggestions you
might have.
