Justin Patrin [2004-04-08 00:00 UTC] Can't download the package file (Forbidden).
Also, could you please put up a phps of FastCreate.php?
Guillaume Lecanu [2004-04-08 10:55 UTC] I have fixed the problem of pear packaging (thanks to Stefan Neufeind & Stephan Schmidt).
Now, you can try the package :)
To the merging XML-RPC question, the problem of merging or not is open.
We can make an alpha branch of the XML-RPC package.
Guillaume Lecanu [2004-04-08 11:00 UTC] Oops sorry for this last comment ! :(
The XML_FastCreate package is now ready to tests.
Guillaume Lecanu [2004-04-09 08:13 UTC] I have add to the package a perl script for vim users (adaptation to others editors is possible).
This script convert an HTML text selection to the XML_FastCreate style.
Just select the text, and press the shorcut sequence :)
# Before :
<table border=1 width="40%">
<tr>
<td>
<span> Hello </span>
</td>
<td align='center'>
<span> World </span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
# After shorcut sequence :
$x->table(array('width'=>"40%", 'border'=>1),
$x->tr(
$x->td(
$x->span(
"Hello"
)
),
$x->td(array('align'=>"center"),
$x->span(
"World"
)
)
)
),
The perl script is directly accessible here :

Stephan Schmidt [2004-04-09 21:18 UTC] Hi,
basically I like the changes you made, and now the packages makes sense to me. But I'd like you to make some adjustments:
1. Error management
Please use PEAR::raiseError() to trigger errors instead of implementing your own error management.
2. Drivers
Please implement two different drivers for the output. You should implement a factory, like a lot of other packages do (see DB for an example). This has two advantages:
If I do not need XML_Tree output, the code that has to be parsed is smaller. And your package can easily be extended by providing new drivers for DOM, simpleXML, etc.
3. XML_Util
In the XML driver, that directly creates XML, please use XML_Util, which is able to build tags, comments, etc.
And a wish: please provide the perl script also as PHP script. This is especially useful for Windows users, as they probably haven't Perl installed.
If you could implement these changes, I think the package is great!
Stephan
Guillaume Lecanu [2004-04-12 19:07 UTC] Hi !
I have make many changes to follow your advices.
Now i have implemented a factory system with external "driver" to output in different format (Text / XML_Tree)
I have also make system to overloading works under PHP4 and PHP5.
Nextly i will make a PHP version of the Perl script.
Thanks
Guillaume Lecanu [2004-04-18 22:32 UTC] I have added many changes following your advices :
- Factory to choose the output driver ( Text or XML_Tree )
- Auto quote attributes and contents ( you can disable this option )
- Simple XML translation option
- PHP Script to convert HTML to FastCreate syntax ( a file or a text selection under your editor )
Quick overview of this package :

Guillaume Lecanu [2004-04-19 23:15 UTC] I have added change following your advices :
- Errors reporting by PEAR Error object
- Option 'expand' to write single tag like this : <tag></tag> rather <tag />
- Option 'singleAttribute' to allow the single attributes like this 'checked'=>null

Thanks
Alan Knowles [2004-04-20 03:56 UTC] dont release it as 1.0 * release - it should stay at 0.* for a few releases (at least a month or 2)
you should add links for examples and source phps etc. before calling for votes.
