[DUG] Delphi for PHP

[Rohit Gupta]

Graham,

I have simply not believed the deploy tool and uploaded the complete vcl 
to the web.  This way, I know its not an issue.

I had wondered about the php version, but not blaming that yet.

Really the major issue is php itself - based on basic (arguably the 
first kiddy language invented over 30 years ago).  I cant believe we are 
using it now !!  Slight misspelling of an identifier and one is history 
with errors that have nothing to do with reality.  I have had ajax stop 
working.  Then query->open would not work but query->active = true 
would  etc....

The issue of the oncreate firing multiple times turned out to be caching 
(probably by the php engine itself - nothing else makes sense) as I had 
cleared the browser cache.  Once I fixed that with some html tags, the 
refresh from ajax has stopped working.  It no longer refreshes the 
control as it used to - until the form is submitted.

I am going to have one more go at ajax based data control refresh on 
another form.  If that doesnt work, then I will convert all of the 
delphi stuff to php.  The ide is still useful as a project manager.

I finally discovered the _problem with constants_ in another file.  if 
there is no vcl in the page (form) then the constants work.  As soon as 
vcl is involved, they are no longer visible...

I discovered the _problem with functions_ in another file.  There must 
be no spaces between the identifier and the bracket.  Then they work.
