RE: [DOC-WEB] PhD for Uniface

Hello Magnus, 

Thanx for the help. I have one more question.

Would it be possible to get the code, or at least an insight in the code of the php.net website? We are looking for a way to replicate your site for our programming language.

Kind regards,

Dennis Vorst

did you install the 'haru' extension? Try running `pecl install haru` first.
PhD uses that extension to deal with the actual pdf generation.

PhD generates a specific PHP code for the php.net website.
That code is really just pre- and post-hooks that call into the actual php.net website to handle the user notes.
It shouldn't be very hard to add such system to PhD, but it would have to make several assumptions about your environment, which may not be very reliable all the time....

You would probably be better of by extending the builtin formats and inject your own code there.
