Re: Naming Conventions and Case Sensitivity (Linux Windows)
First, I'm on linux, and all the files are lowercase Second, you're changing from PHP5 to PHP4? Because that line only works in php5: $this-controller = $controller; In PHP4, you must do $this-controller = $controller; --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: Naming Conventions and Case Sensitivity (Linux Windows)
@RoSoft - so you're saying I should make all the filenames lowercase? Does that mean I need to use lowercase class names as well? class myformComponent extends Object You bring up a good point. I'm running PHP5 on my Windows machine, but I need to tweak an .htaccess parameter to get PHP5 working on Linux. It must still be running under PHP4. I'll make the change and see what it does. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: Naming Conventions and Case Sensitivity (Linux Windows)
Hey - what do you know? That did it! Maybe I should make it backward compatible and use the when assigning the controller? Thanks for your help. It's working fine now. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: Naming Conventions and Case Sensitivity (Linux Windows)
Since CakePHP uses convention over configuration, I strongly suggest everybody reads this chapter on the manual, again and again, and again.. http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/20 some examples ALL file names ARE lowercase = client_page.thtml Model names ARE singular, UpperCamelCased = ClientPage Controller class names ARE plural, UpperCamelCased = ClientPagesController table names ARE plural, lower_cased_underscored = client_pages foreign keys in the database are lowercase model_field = client_id again and again :) using these conventions *will* save you a lot of time. spark On 6/14/06, brandags [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: @RoSoft - so you're saying I should make all the filenames lowercase?

Re: Naming Conventions and Case Sensitivity (Linux Windows)
I think it would be helpful to update the naming conventions page (http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/20) to show the conventions for components, behaviors, helpers, and elements as well. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: Naming Conventions and Case Sensitivity (Linux Windows)
Okay. Maybe it would be good to state that they're the same (in the manual) so people don't get confused or think their might be a different convention for a component or helper. Just a thought. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Naming Conventions and Case Sensitivity (Linux Windows)
I've written a form component and helper
(http://cakeforge.org/snippet/detail.php?type=packageid=17) that work
fine in Windows, but when I upload them to Linux, I get an error. A
variable that is being set in the component does not seem to be
available in the view, when on Linux. But it works fine in Windows. I
assume this is because of some case-sensitivity issue since Linux is
case-sensitive. Maybe I'm making a mistake with naming conventions or
using the wrong case somewhere.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong in my declarations?
/controllers//components/myform.php
class MyformComponent extends Object
{
function startup( $controller )
{
$validations = array() ;
foreach( $controller-modelNames as $model )
{
$validations += $controller-$model-validate ;
}
$this-controller = $controller;
$this-controller-set( 'formData', array(
'validations' = $validations,
'data' = $this-controller-data )
);
}
}
/controllers/photographers_controller.php
class PhotographersController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'Photographers'; // for PHP4
var $helpers = array('Html', 'form', 'Myform','Javascript', 'Error');
var $components = array('Myform');
...
}
/views/helpers/myform.php
class MyformHelper extends FormHelper
{
...
}
/views/photographers/add.thtml
? pr($formData); ?
The view is where the error is - I only showed the line with the
problem. Here is the error message:
Notice: Undefined variable: formData in
/.../app/views/photographers/add.thtml on line 12
I have debugged it enough to know that the component's startup()
function is running and that $formData is getting set in the component
(a pr() inside the startup function shows the $formData variable full
of data), but somehow the variable $formData doesn't seem to be getting
to the view in Linux. Any ideas what would be causing this?
Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Naming Conventions and Case Sensitivity (Linux Windows)
As you say, the problem will probably be case sensitivity - which is a filesystem issue. So, ensure that the file names have the same case as what you are including - from what you've posted above your helper and component should be Myform.php (capital M), as this is what you have in your $helpers and $components arrays.
