PHP class for Aztec 2D Codes? - php

I've looked at Zint, and well c++ is way out of reach to me. I've also the extremely cool ZXing, but still Java is not quite there yet...
Just feel strange about not having any php ported version of these open source projects. I've read a few things about it being proprietary/patented... well it has been indeed released to public domain, and after all, it does have an ISO/IEC 24778:2008 so it does really look public domain...
Any thoughts about this guys?
Thanks

I am currently looking for a decent self-contained Aztec barcode generator for PHP and came across this question. As the topic is a few years old now, I thought I'd share what I found.
There is indeed a port of the ZXing code (the Aztec part of it anyway) on Github now under the name Metzli. As it is using namespaces, the PHP version required is >5.3
I hope this helps.

I've also been looking for something similar to no avail; the closest (free) code that I've found is in Zend, which appears to have a barcode generating class called Zend_Barcode that can be extended to support more formats.
The authors of the class are Mickael Perraud and Julien Pauli. Back in Oct. 2010 Mickael replied to a question similar to this one ("Is the ability to render 2D barcodes in the future possible with the current implementation?") that 2D barcodes are "in progress but only for ZF2". Zend is current at 1.11.3 and I'm not sure when Zend 2 is planned.
Mickael posted an early demo of the 2D functionality at http ://mikaelkael.fr/barcode/, but it looks pretty barren and hasn't been updated in a long while. Perhaps if you contact him directly, via the Zend forums or even look at the SVN source he had posted at svn: //mikaelkael.dyndns.org/barcode.
Hope that helps someone, if not you :)

PHP code explorer - showing classes and functions separately

I wonder if it's possible to view a PHP code source in a way that https://j11y.io/jquery/ shows a JQ code. Of course I mean reading code from a given file, not from websites code.
I'm not looking for programs like the PHPdocumentor.
Thank you in advance for any reasonable reply.
P.S. For perfectionists - I'm searching for a nice website or software (and I would prefer that option, so that I can be quite sure about the security), which will give me such a useful ability. I'm disturbed after using CTRL-F all the time ;)

PHP-Structure overview messy project

Im looking for an prefferably automated tool that generates a diagram over the
structure of a laaaaaaaaaarge php project, files with 10 000 lines of code in them.
Mixed php with html with css and javascript here and there.
Need the ones in charge to realize that the project needs refactoring.
Theres not really any oop in this project so some kind of class diagram overview
would only show a small part of the project since its 99% functions.
Anyone that could point me in the right direction to sort out this mess? :)
I don't know if this will truly help but it's too big for a comment..
There is a program called Doxygen which can generate documentation from php source files, now bear with me..
There is an extension to this program that generates structographs(?) structograms based on the source too, it may be of some help.
Failing that this question and maybe this one can offer you some advice on how to get the message across.

What to use in place of EtherPad? Using php and mySql

I came across EtherPad but found out shortly afterwards that it has been shelved by Google.
Is there something else that I could use that allows people to collaborate on an online document? It must have version control.
Should I redevelop something instead?
Andre
Try Etherpad Lite, its much leighter than the original Etherpad
TypeWithMe is a slightly modified version of Etherpad. It's pretty darn good. Oh but, you need to view the document every once in a while or itll get wiped.
I'd recommend Google Docs. You can create new, upload existing, and collaborate online on files like documents, spreadsheets, presentations and drawings. Take a look at their Youtube page for a demonstration.
It seems like MobWrite http://code.google.com/p/google-mobwrite/ is a good solution. Just wish it had the versioning information etc that EtherPad had. Does anyone agree or have something better to embed in a PHP and mySQL website?
EtherPad is still available for buidling and deploying and it even have some seldom commits. If you want to use as an user, there are a few deployments of Etherpad (or perhaps modified versions of it) such as:
PiratePad
MoPad
Besides that, there is a quite comprehensive list of possibilities in this wikipedia entry for collaborative text editing software

PHP form editor?

I was told by my boss to make some plguin for the site, where people can define their own forms. And he was like
There are some free ones, just find one suitible and rework it for the site.
So yeah, ain't found what I was looking for. Are there any? I'd need an open form editor in PHP which allows me to make some changes anywhere. Hope you can help me.
The author here discusses about three open source form generators, may be this could be a starting lead for you:
PHP Form Generator for webmasters – which one is the best? (by Drizad; 8 Mar 2007)
If you know PHP, you might consider the form library Zebra_Form It seems to be one of the leanest, straight forward form frameworks out there. Requirements are basically just PHP & MySQL. There are frameworks like Symfony and Zend that have form libraries, but they are a lot more complicated.

PHP File_PDF Examples / Tutorials?

I've looked through several Google searches now, and continue to keep coming up empty when it comes to finding some end-user documentation for the File_PDF package.
A lot of people have pointed to FPDF, which is a predecessor, and as far I know, no longer compatible. FPDF hasn't been updated (http://fpdf.org/) since 2008, either.
I've found a few small snippets of code for File_PDF here and there, but nothing over like 20 lines of code.
Then I came across this little "nugget" of wealth: http://dev.horde.org/pdf/
There's plenty of examples, none of which I've looked through yet, but I'm hoping it does the trick.
In the mean time, does anyone else have some recommendations for PDF generation with PHP?
Last time I needed to generate PDF files with PHP that is what I used (admittedly back in '07) with no major problems.
Things change though and if File_PDF is more intuitive to use or has a better feature-set then you should obviously use it instead.
I feel obliged to point out that there appears to be a later version of File_PDF available at http://pear.php.net/package/File_PDF than at http://dev.horde.org/pdf/
Have you evaluated any of the PDF related classes at http://www.phpclasses.org?
Ended up using tcpdf, as many examples were provided from their site.
