Hi List! I've suggested a patch against bug #586230 (Table comments not parsed for HTML) in the bug tracker. Can anybody test it and commit it if it works?

Trust me, writing documents in XML directly is even easier than writing HTML by hand. Since you have control over your own elements and attributes, the language is usually a lot simpler. A list might be: <list type='dot'> <item>foo</item> <item>bar</item> <list> Paragraph: <para>I'm a little paragraph.

Yes, that is definetly doable, but not very common. As for keeping things straight and easier to edit, the document frequently gets re-arranged to keep all of the code in the order it will come out. It is a lot easier to edit when it is already in order. But it wouldn't be too hard in our language scripting for new sections being added to be placed at the end of the master files, and then we can run another script to re-order the XML file via XSLT. The only skill/knowledge that is needed for doing hard code XML is for creating your own XSLT and XML Schema documents. Once you have those, and I can create them when I have a bit of time, you can feed them to existing tools, and use WYSIWYG XML editors. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2(a)orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639

Only if Js is enabled it should only point to # and if there is no js than we don't need to add the onClick. Do we allready have some js-checking? after all we are using some js every now and then. And of course we will have to give the section (=filename) as well, and the function might have to add the language. > I have the configuration variable there on purpose, as in > some cases I run > with limited screen space, and I would want to turn off the > help links, as > I know what I am doing. agreed. though what i am thinking of is a graphic of 10*10 pixels (because i want to also have it on the side of inputs) and just a text ? is not really obvious enough (that's for the alt in case you also switched off graphics ;-) > > 2) wasn't there some thought on having the docu in a > different format? > > (sgml, xml or whatever) > Yes.

(allthough i expect it would be ok to have the install only in english). but then there is two problems: the whole doku in all the languages would be quite a package, so i'd suggest that the documentation would be split from the main package and is downloaded seperately in the language the user wants (this also spares us to have 30 or 40 copies of the english text at the beginning while there is no translation for some language and we need a file with that name ;-) and we'd have to think of a way to handle the translations .... what i could imagine would be to have all strings in a database and do a script that would enable the translators to translate them online and creating their languagefile out of it? simple draft: table docu str_id section_id[enum] place_id string 0000001 tbl_qbe 1 Heading 1 0000002 tbl_qbe 1.2 <dt><dd>bla bla.... table transl_chines str_id translation 0000002 asdfhlsajfh so when creating the languagefile the script would not find 0000001 in the transl so it takes it from the table docu (which can be done with a simple left join transl_chines where str_id is null) and the other from the translation. additionally a script like that could of course easily provide the text in all needed charactersets. hm.... once again something which might be an idea for a splitted project - there might be other people apart from PMA that might have a use for that. -- Mike Beck mike.beck(a)users.sourceforge.net

Hi List! >I can extrapolate all of the other functions except >PMA_INFO_getDB() from this. >Got any ideas on the last function ? Since we pass the current db name by url/form everywhere, I don't think this kind of function inside the current code. Sorry...

Thanks Mike. Hmm, I hadn't noticed those before, and didn't see them when I looked. Glancing quickly in the file, I see PMA_mysql_list_tables (like my PMA_INFO_getTables($DBName)) PMA_mysql_list_fields (like my PMA_INFO_getColumns($DBName,$TableName)) I can extrapolate all of the other functions except PMA_INFO_getDB() from this. Got any ideas on the last function ? It wouldn't surprise me if we actually had a variable with it already in PMA. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2(a)orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639

In writing my SQL parser, I need some functions written that get some information from MySQL, and I'm not sure of the best way to go about them. Could somebody please help me with: // returns current database name as string PMA_INFO_getDB() //returns array of table names in given database PMA_INFO_getTables($DBName) //returns array of tables names in current database PMA_INFO_getTables() //returns array of column names in given table PMA_INFO_getColumns($TableName) //returns array of column names in given table inside given database PMA_INFO_getColumns($DBName,$TableName) Thanks in advance -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2(a)orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639

So that people can give me a hand in updating the existing codebase to use the new parser, here is an outline of it. The basic procedure for using the new SQL parser: On any page that needs to extract data from a query or to pretty-print a query, you need code like this up at the top: ($sql contains the query) $parsedSQL = PMA_SQP_Parse($sql); If you want to extract data from it then, you just need to run $SQLinfo = PMA_SQP_Analyze($parsedSQL); (returned structure of this function is being rewritten presently); If you want a pretty-printed version of the query, do: $string = PMA_SQP_FormatHTML($parsedSQL); (note that that you need to have syntax.css.php3 included somehow in your page for it to work, I recommend '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="syntax.css.php3" />' at the moment.) -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2(a)orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639

Hi again! I've suggested a fix against this bug (tables not linked are missing in PDF) in the bug tracker. It would be nice if someone can test it and maybe submit it in the CVS tree.
