Not knowing the Mac I'm fishing ;)
How did you INSTALL PHP? We normally do this via a 'package manager' of some sort, where you find the 'PHPxx' and select it. Uninstalling is simply a matter of 'deslecting' it. If you loaded this from a 'command line' script then I would think that perhaps this is a book that needs a health warning :(

You mentioned MAMP, which is the usual way I've seen people install PHP
and MySQL on a Mac. Did this not work at all? I believe the .dmg file
for it will allow you an option to uninstall and try from the beginning.

If you do use MAMP, where abouts is it all becoming unstuck? Are you
seeing any particular errors or anything?

Thanks,

Hello,

I think everyone has their own preference on working/development setup.If you are comfortable with Window OSS, I guess shifting to Linux might take you totally out of your goals. In my case I prefer playing around Gentoo Linux, so my development setup is built around Gentoo Linux.But I fully agree that it took me a while to be comfortable to work behind this OSS.

But on Windows it should be possible to get those PHP, MYSQL, Apache.Install things like WAMP or so {Ive never used it,but I heard it works}, but it could be an option for a Window User.

P:S
**Learning Linux/Unix wont be such a bad idea though, as most of your Servers (production environment) will be Linux/Unix.So its worth learning how to work and be comfortable with them.

I AM A COMPLETE NOVICE WITH LINUX/FREEBSD.  It had not been my intention to

confusion that even MAMP can't seem to sort out for me.

It is purely a guess that I need to start again from a complete clean setup
(reformatting my hard disk and reinstall OS X again) but that is pretty much
out of the question.

I guess my question is:

"How can I completely uninstall PHP so that I can start again?"

Thanks.

The OP's question was about installing the stack on a Mac, not Windows.

You can use __get(), __set(), etc. instead.

That way,  $this->Registry->property can work as you want.

Something PHP is missing is the ability to have __get()/__set()/etc.
available on a static class, so you have to have an instance of the
class and then all that that entails. Singleton pattern most likely.
__getStatic(), __setStatic() (like we have __callStatic() ) would
certainly help.

Regards,

Richard.

What happens if you drop the quotes around the filename?

Interesting the following works
Changing the " to '. If I leave the ' around the filename, the ' becomes part 
of the filename. But it seemed to be more about changing the surrounding ' to " 
that fixed it. Not sure why this is, but its working now.


header('Content-Type: application/msword');
 header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=PurchaseReq.doc");

you guys suggest a good tutorial? also, if there are better solutions for
