Two seats are available; details and sign-up: http://nyphp.org/twodaycourse May Meeting ----------- When: May 25th, 2004 at 6:30pm Where: Digital Pulp Details: http://nyphp.org New York PHP kicks an exciting summer schedule off with two presentations this May. After the meeting, you're invited to join us for food, drinks and wireless at Abbey Tavern - details below. fPage ----- Felix Zaslavskiy guides us through fPage, a small utility class that remembers users click history on the server side. Developers can bookmark any page and be able to redirect the user back to that page at any time in the future. fPage uses PHP sessions to keep track of state and provides a nice user interface to the developer. HTML_QuickForm -------------- Displaying and processing HTML forms correctly in PHP can be a headache. You need to pay attention to printing context-sensitive error messages, preserving default values, properly encoding user input, and validating many different kinds of fields. The PEAR package HTML_QuickForm removes that headache. It's flexible architecture makes it a breeze to programmatically construct, display, and validate HTML forms of any size. In this talk, David Sklar shows you how to harness the power of HTML_QuickForm in your PHP programs. He explains: -- Working with different element types -- Validating input with built-in and custom rules -- Processing submitted form data, including file uploads -- Customizing form display with the default renderer With HTML_QuickForm, a form is a logical collection of typed form elements instead of an undifferentiated blob of HTML. This makes it simple to decide dynamically what elements go in a particular form, to assign appropriate error messages and validation rules to individual elements, and to control the form layout in a systematic way across an entire site. Instead of relying on ad-hoc functions and methods for tasks like checking whether required form fields are filled in, preserving a default value in a dropdown menu, or adjusting the style attributes of form elements, use HTML_QuickForm for a simple, structured approach to form management. Join Felix and David for an in-depth look at fPage and HTML_QuickForm. SAMS Publishing, our latest sponsor, has been kind enough to provide us with books to raffle off. Come prepared with a business card to enter the drawing. When: Tuesday, May 25th, at 6:30pm (4th Tuesday of every month) Where: Digital Pulp, Inc. 220 East 23rd Street, Suite 900 (9th floor) Post-Meeting: Abbey Tavern 354 3rd Avenue, Private Room in the Back As always this meeting is free and open to the public - please be sure to RSVP by sending a message to rsvp at nyphp.org.

New York PHP Moves to IBM, Starting June ---------------------------------------- It is with feelings of both anticipation and sentiment that I announce New York PHP's move to IBM's midtown Manhattan building. Starting June, our monthly meetings will be held at 590 Madison Avenue, at 57th Street. Our May meeting will be at the usual Digital Pulp location. Digital Pulp has been a fantastic host, and we wouldn't be here today without Andrew Yochum and DP's dedication over the last two years. As attendance has grown, however, we've come to need a larger facility. I'd like to thank Dan Krook for making the IBM space possible. Details for the new space will be posted in time for the June meeting. As this is our last meeting at Digital Pulp, I hope everyone will come by and show their appreciation for contributing so much to the New York PHP community. A post-meeting party is in order, at the Abbey Tavern.
