Tobias Schlitt's Blog: At IPC2k7: WebDAV will come over you...

Fri, 19 Oct 2007 10:37:00 -0500

Tobias Schlitt has posted about a new component for the eZ components (PHP based) system he develops for - a WebDAV module.

Starting by the end of August we spent almost whole September full-time on designing and implementing this component. The goal was to design a flexible WebDAV server component, which can be used to edit whatever data source on an HTTP server through the WebDAV extension of the protocol, with the full lot of concerns in mind.

Included in the post is an image showing the architecture of the component and a mention that, if you're attending this year's International PHP Conference (2007), you'll be able to see it in action.

Kore Nordmann's Blog: ezcGraph introduction article

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 13:56:58 -0600

Kore Nordmann points out an article that he's written up about the new ezcGraph component as a part of the eZ Component system.

From the article over on ez.no:

Among the additions to the latest eZ Components 2006.2 release is the Graph component, which enables you to create bar, line and pie charts. The output driver mechanism allows you to create different image file types from each chart, and the available renderers make the chart output customizable from simple two-dimensional charts to beautiful three-dimensional data projections.

His introduction covers what the functionality of the component is, what chart types you can make with it (with code examples), and the options for customization it makes possible. He also includes links to a tutorial on its use and the API documentation for you to pick through.

Tobias Schlitt's Blog: Qmail and PHPs mail() function

Mon, 18 Sep 2006 07:57:44 -0500

Anyone noticing some "quirkiness" happening when they use the eZ Mail component in their scripts and bounce the messages off of a Qmail server, might want to check out this helpful hint from Tobias Schlitt on how he solved it.

While working with the eZ Mail component, for sending some emails comfortably, I noticed some issue with my Qmail installation. With some email accounts that received the emails, the headers were broken and had double line break characters, so the complete email was broken. That (weirdly) happened only with some servers (e.g. Gmail), while my own server handeled the emails gracefully.

He discovers that the issue lies on Qmail's side, where the sendmail wrapper for it looks for a "\n" instead of a "\r\n" line PHP sends at the end of a line. Thankfully, it's an easy fix with the eZ Mail component: [php] [/php] Check out this page for more information on this functionality.
