  1. I'm posting what I just posted over at Boston PHP. Seriously that UML and PHP Doc worked me over but good. But I made it through. Here is what I learned to save time for anyone else that runs into similiar problems. My post over at Boston PHP for Chapter 4 My Chapter 4 work here. Wow, that UML and PHPdoc kicked my butt! It took me many hours on both to get that going. UML: I tried the Dia that some people recommened. But would not run properly on my Windows 8 comp. Anyway I found Star UML to work great after I realized to simply Add-->>Operation - Not sure why I missed that as Operation is simply the Method - Like Larry says take like 24 hours break and come back fresh. Watch a how to video for a quick Star UML how to video to get going fast. Also, simply google star uml to download their software. 2005 is last time updated but don't worry, use it and get the UML class uml going PHPDoc: took me like 4 hours and like 4 days to get that baby going! It's path related. I honestly don't remember everything I did to get it going within C:\xampp - But I do know it has to do with the path was not being put correctly within Windows for xampp and pear. HA - turns out I won't even be using it, rather a Yii documenting extension I'll be using. It's all good because now I know how to use PEAR and I now have a UML for the Classes under my belt. I worked on Chapter 1 and the Multi Dim Array also kicked my butt as an optical illusion. Wierd and ironical thing is I've written a sophisticated eBay price update program with Yii to update like 8000 listings via eBay API and pulls costs off our google docs via API, but I can't figure out the Multi Dim Array? Huh? what the heck? I guess I've got too much stuff going through my mind. Anyway, I'll figure out chapt 1 after I'm done with the OOP...But alas, I'm super far behind in this course. I plan to catch up completely within 2 weeks. If you want a great way to design web apps use Yii PHP Framework which is highly recommended by Larry Ullman - he's written a Yii book that you can buy now. I love that framework. Thanks everyone for this Boston PHP - really motivates me to keep up with the group and learn this stuff!
