windsurfer Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 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 runproperly on my Windows 8 comp. Anyway I found Star UML to work greatafter I realized to simply Add-->>Operation - Not sure why Imissed that as Operation is simply the Method - Like Larry says takelike 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, simplygoogle star uml to download their software. 2005 is last time updatedbut don't worry, use it and get the UML class uml goingPHPDoc:took me like 4 hours and like 4 days to get that baby going! It's pathrelated. I honestly don't remember everything I did to get it goingwithin C:\xampp - But I do know it has to do with the path was not beingput correctly within Windows for xampp and pear. HA - turns out Iwon't even be using it, rather a Yii documenting extension I'll beusing.It's all good because now I know how to use PEAR and Inow have a UML for the Classes under my belt. I worked on Chapter 1 andthe Multi Dim Array also kicked my butt as an optical illusion. Wierdand ironical thing is I've written a sophisticated eBay price updateprogram with Yii to update like 8000 listings via eBay API and pullscosts off our google docs via API, but I can't figure out the Multi DimArray? Huh? what the heck? I guess I've got too much stuff goingthrough my mind. Anyway, I'll figure out chapt 1 after I'm done withthe OOP...But alas, I'm super far behind in this course. I plan tocatch up completely within 2 weeks.If you want a great way todesign web apps use Yii PHP Framework which is highly recommended byLarry Ullman - he's written a Yii book that you can buy now. I lovethat framework.Thanks everyone for this Boston PHP - really motivates me to keep up with the group and learn this stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
