Checking DATABASE CONNECTION: FAILED
Error: The mysql driver is not currently installed
Check P4A_DSN definition.

Io ho ricevuto questo mess.

Uso Easyphp con Windows 7 e tutto funziona tranne questo!

Mentre in gentoo e archlinux va tutto bene.. preferirei usarlo anche in Windows 7..

Qualche aiuto???

Grazie e complimentoni per il tuo grande lavoro!

I got the 2.99.0 products catalog login to come up on WAMP (XP, Apache 2.2.3, MySQL 5.0.27-community-nt, PHP 5.2.5), but it returns to the login page with the correct user and password. Erroneous user/password does give the system message. (It passes the configuration check, after I set the db password.)

@Carlo: ok carlo but please post your problem to the p4a’s forums, that’s the better place for that kind of discussion :-)

Don’t know,
it’s a brand new default Wamp Server Installation. I installed p4a inside the www structure, not outside, so I did not change a line. I could send my httpd.conf to you but I can’t see any particular alias problem, this is the only line I would doubt of in httpd.conf:

Include “f:/wamp/alias/*”

Uhm…

@Carlo: could the wamp server have aliases that could redirect some calls to wrong phisical directories?

@BES:
we’ll sure work on printing when Zend Framework will allow us an easy way to print out tables and other things, anyway integrating something like DOMPDF inside a p4a mask is quite easy.

About cookies, you could already do that with php’s core functions, it should not present any problem.

let me know if you’re more technical samples.

First, thanks again and again for such high quality open source software!!!

The following are features I really would like to see to improve my end users’ experience.

Will P4A 3 improve printing ability? I often generate HTML into a mask (e.g., in response to a button click) and want to use the Print icon to print out the mask, but the printout is limited to only one printed page.

This is related to the recurring issue of generating and printing HTML (and PDF, RTF, etc.) from within P4A. When P4A is used to provide access control (e.g., P4A Base Application), it is a real pain to have to jump out of P4A and revalidate the user (and prevent the URL from being usable after the user has logged out). I really would like to open surrogate windows within P4A that provide generated content which can be printed.

I’d also like to be able to set and use cookies to store some information on the client side that persists between sessions.

Hi,

I installed p4a on a Wamp Server root (www), I’m testing products_catalogue but it seems to have problems with finding CSS and JS files which actually do exist in the directory they are supposed to be, so there seems to be a problem with paths. Is that possible? Any idea?

Thanks
