I'm just starting out with PHP. I bought the PHP books from Wrox and was lured by the promise of high quality code from PEAR. I installed DB.php and got it working immediately; it's great. However, I installed HTML_QuickForm and had problems with it. I was surprised because of the great first impression made by DB.php and it's high quality. pear install http://pear.php.net/get/HTML_QuickForm left all HTML_QuickForm files under my /usr/share/pear/HTML directory, as instructed by me (I'm using Red Hat 7.3). However, when trying to execute the examples, I realized that QuickForm.php was looking for some files under /usr/share/pear/HTML/QuickForm directory which didn't exist. I had to create it and move the files manually. Once that was working, I found some problems with one of the two examples included. I had to comment out a few lines related to <select> and form validation to get it working. Despite all that, I started playing with it and looks great too, however, once I made the form I wanted, I can use it to get values from it but I haven't found a way to get it to display values I have retrieved from a database. ¿Could someone tell me how to do this? I found good documentation for DB.php http://vulcanonet.com/soft/?pack=pear_tut but haven't found for HTML_QuickForm. Does anybody know of a site with documentation? -- Sergio Tirado
