Beginners Guide To Package Installation
I'm a long-time semi-amateur PHP programmer. I do some large and complex stuff in PHP and PERL, but I've never done any package installations. I managed to install MediaWiki once, but it was a chore and a half, and no "learning" took place.
Now I want to install PHP/YAZ and I'm stuck. Google "PHP packages instal" or etc. and you get lots of pages, but they're all geared to the "wrong level."
Does anyone know of a good "idiot's guide" to installing packages?

A Beginners Guide
This is not a ‘how to’, this is a ‘what is’ or a very simple, generic document designed to give people just starting out a sense of scope and to give them a very, very simple, non-threatening starting point for more complex research into what can often be a daunting concept. Code:

PhpMyAdmin Installation - Thorough Installation Guide.
I am trying to install phpMyAdmin-2.6.3-pl1 on my machine because I am familiar with working with it itself, but not installing it. I have Apache 2.0.54, php 4.4.0, mysql 4.1.14 running on a Win XP Home machine. Like I said, I've never installed phpMyAdmin before and I've looked at the documentation and I can kinda make out what it says, but I'd rather try to find a very thorough installation guide.

Query Re Beginners Tutorial
On http://www.phpdeveloper.org/section/tutorial/43 there is what seems like a good tutorial for a beginner but there is no mention of whether it should all be within one .html file, one .php file, or several separate files, and if so, what type. It also includes Action="form2.php3" with no mention of what this file is. Can anyone help, or alternatively recommend a more complete Form tutorial for an absolute PHP beginner?

Beginners Q: Configuring Apache - Php On XP
I was just trying to install Apache and php on an XP box for test of a PHP website I built last year. It was my first and only, so I am now rusty about the little I did learn last year.

Development Documentation Guide
I know this isn't exactly PHP, but I don't know any community more willing to help than this one. As you can probably see in my sig, I am making a company. The company has already made some test versions of the final product: 'Adv.News', including making several designs and logos, core programming, etc. Now, I have just completed my college course, BTEC National Diploma in Computing (Software Development). I finished second in the class wilth all (but one) Distinction (equal to A/A*). Now the only thing I'm wondering about, is how to write correct Development Documentation. We have written vague documentation, but, before we go to make the final Alpha version (thats an oxymoron ), I need to know, how to write industry standard dev docs. Does anybody have some Development Documentation Guides / Templates, or something.. or the vBulletin Development Documentation, something from which I can learn?

Graphing Package
Would anyone care to recommend a good graphing package (commercial or otherwise)? I've looked at some of the PEAR Image packages. The only graphing package is still alpha quality. One particularly interesting feature would be to display data as in a 'strip chart' recorder, i.e., the graph scrolls across the web page.

ExtCalendar-2 Package?
I've been trying to configure the ExtCalendar-2 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/extcal), and for that I traced through the code of Add Event page. Finally reached a point where it calls a function like echo template_eval($template_add_event_form, $params);. I got some clues on this as it's calling a template with an array of values $params which ends up in the display of the Add Even form. But this $template_add_event_form is declared as a global variable in the current function.

How To Downgrade A PEAR Package?
I'm trying to figure out how to downgrade a pear package. I've discovered that in the PEAR XML_RPC, between version 1.3.3 and 1.4.0, something was broken in the XML_RPC_Client code causing the values returned in server responses to be decoded as php strings rather than their appropriate data types. This still appears to be broken in the current 1.4.4. I want to do some more extensive testing before logging a bug, but I need to know how to downgrade packages. So far I've always used the pear command. I can't see any way with the pear command to downgrade. Using the pear command to uninstall and reinstall XML_RPC isn't an option because the pear module itself depends on it.

Pear Package Functions
I have a doubt about pear packages in PHP. I have downloaded the pear packages through the command prompt line 'php go-pear.php' and installed it. I could work with some examples for XML-RPC and give the correct output. But when I try to work with an image example it give me the following error. Warning: main(Image/Canvas.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:ImageTest ,Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'Image/Canvas.php' . Why did this happened? In the pear package list I could find zip files like DB-1.7.6,Net_Socket-1.0.6,XML_RPC-1.3.3,PHPUnit-1.2.3,Mail-1.1.6, Mail-1.1.6 and XML_Parser-1.2.6 etc.. But I could not find any files related to Image. Should I install any GD library for image functions in PHP other than pear package.

Windows Package/binary
I am several years removed from PHP (different career path) so I've lost touch with some of the innovations. I was wondering if anyone has put together a simple windows binary that includes MySQL + PHP and a webserver? Basically, I want an easy way to distribute a PHP and MySQL application to another non-technical windows user and don't have the luxury of a server sitting somewhere. Basically, I'd like them to be able to click an icon, launch the services, and then launch a web browser pointing to localhost. I don't care about the code being compiled or hidden. It doesn't help that when I did do a lot of programming that I did it exclusively on Unix machines so even then I wasn't too in tune with the windows world. Is there some acceptable standard way of dealing with this?

Pear Package Sub-include
I was trying the pear package on my local winmachine and noticed that one of the includes has a backslash <?php include('Mail.php'); include('Mailmime.php'); is this a path backslash? i.e. if I access pair on my linux server, do I have to put a forward slash in between Mail and mime? such as Mail/ mime.php Or does the slash have another meaning? I haven't found a lot of pear documentation and the one I am reading has that slash, which I'm not sure is for any host or just for win.

PHP Simple Content Admin Package
I'm converting some static HTML pages to use PHP-mySQL. I will be able to add/modify/delete records via the web using phpmyadmin, but I will need to develop more user-friendly admin pages for non-technical users. I don't want to reinvent the wheel--does anyone know of any open-source packages in PHP that have your standard display-all-records screens, with links for Edit, Add, Delete, as well as subsequent pages that allow users to modify HTML form fields to update data? Ideally, there would be some easy way to customize this package, where I can just name the table and fields that I want users to be able to modify, set a few other privileges, and make it available.

PEAR Auth Package - How Does SetSessionname Work?
I have used the PEAR Auth package to successfully set up authentication. <code> // Details of where the authentication details are stored. $options = array( 'dsn' ="pgsql://graphicomm2:pw@localhost/graphicomm2", 'table' ="v_active_users", 'usernamecol' ="f_email", 'passwordcol' ="f_password", ); $a = new Auth("MDB2", $options, "loginFunction"); $a->setSessionname("GCERP"); $a->start(); </code> However, this does not seem to change the session name in the browser when I check the cookies. But -but - but - it does work in the sense that I can log in to two different php applications from different tabs on the same browser and the authentication is separate. I.e. if I am logged into one app it does not mean that I am allowed to access the second app. The problem I have is that $_SESSION variables seem to be cross application!?! I.e. if I use a $_SESSION variable it can be accessed from either application. Now I know I can uniquely name the $_SESSION variables which will probably be the interim solution but I would have thought that there would be a way of limiting $_SESSION variables to that particular session as set by the setSessionname.
