create GUI using php

[Alicia]

Hi guys,

can we actually create GUI like redo, cut and paste, etc just like what jsp can do by using php..

i have seen a page that is created by using php...
http://login.seo-cms.com/reports.php?usrid=5&page=main&sid=1073895124&domid=1

i am wondering how he did it ?? may i know is that page purely done by using php or they use javascript to get it done ???

i wish create a content management sytem just like this page where they got copy, redo, print, change font & size menu, etc..

is there anywhere i can get the references to develop such content management system by using php ?? or can u guys give me an idea how to get it done ??

please advise..

Those are client side functions, and thus, PHP will not be capable of doing them.

Also, as an aside, the link you provided required a login, so I can not tell you what it uses.

i have attached a file.. it is actually a print screen of the site..

is that can be done by using Javascript

please advise

[pyro]

Yes, I'm sure that it is using JavaScript.

is it i need to install something in order to make it works ???

for your info, the server i am using is manage by other people and i can't really install stuff there,,

please advise..

p.s: or can i just copy their code and paste it to my file ??

most javascripts you can copy from the page source since it is client side. From there you will need to modify it to fit your need.

But isn't that *CoughStealingCough*? I doubt you'd want someone to just go take something you worked hard on...

Not when it is used as a learning tool.

I am sorry if I came across wrong in the earlier message, but I hope this clears up any misunderstandings.

I don't encourage theft of code, but if your gonna use code that I can see I will examine it to learn from it.

No different then when you are in school and they show you code on how to do something. You take that knowledge and you expand on it and share it.

If someone can learn from what I have presented then great, I don't mind that just change it so that it is your work. Put some thought into it.

I think too many people today are selfish with what they know, I call them empire builders. But guess who will be asking you 1001 questions when they are stuck or going to a book or calling tech support.

I am sure all of us have used code from a book or other source to accomplish our task at some point in our career. The difference is, did we just take it and use it or did we learn something from it and use it in a way that serves our purpose without hurting others.

Example, if you go to pyro's site you will see where a member copied his work but if that member had only used what they had learned from pyro to better thier site I am willing to bet pyro would have taken it as a compliment. Pyro seems to be very helpful on how to achieve your tasks. But don't "steal" it.

I give classes here at my site weekly training people on how to be better programmers in assembly... so when I present them with examples are they not then "stealing" when they are writing their code? No! They are learning from what I have shown them.

Therefore, if she wants to understand how they did it and it is there for her to see using her browser... go ahead and review it but use the knowledge to better yourself and to accomplish what you need without "stealing" it.

dear friends,

i couldn't find any resources that can guide me to do this task thats y i ask u guys about this... i dun really mean to steal somebody code..

anyway, thank you very much for giving me a reference,,, now i need to look through the code line by line to get an idea how this can be done,,
