"Dammit Weed, I'm an 'artiste', not a programmer...."

Did they get one of your comments up there? 😃 😃

    that's really cool, I'll have to look into it.

      HTML2PHP converter...

      A nice gui for "rename" command?

      /what? is not enough to rename .html into .php ?

      😃

        we should write an open source alternative...

        wonder how they implement faster conversion speeds for a simple change of file extension, though.

          I'm feeling very altruist.

          Now you can get the php version of "get more for less" tool...

           
          <?
          $fcontents = file ($namefile.'.php');
          while (list ($line_num, $line) = each ($fcontents)) {
            $translate.=" echo \"".addslashes($line)."\";\n";
          }
          header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$namefile.html\"");
          header ("Content-type: text/plain");
          header("Pragma: no-cache");
          echo $translate;
          ?>
          

          (Please don't email me your greets, I know you'll do.)

            BUMP! But I'm certain you'd all love to know that they've upgraded the converter to fix some bugs....

              Totally bumpworthy!

              I need a converter to convert my migraine into a productive day.

              Edit: I've found the solution!!!! Coke Light and candy bars!!! I need to package this up as a new product...

                The concept behind this program is to provide simple and no-nonsense HTML to PHP conversion

                It does exactly what it says on the tin.

                  printing capabilities so you can look over your code on paper

                  Don't most computers have some type of printer hooked up? And can't one just hit PRINT to see their code on paper?

                  Another example of some schmuck trying to make money off of a poor unsuspecting stranger because they think they made something useful.... I hate american business ethics....

                  Oh, and that's not to mention their cookie-cutter website that they bought for $75 off of templatemonster.com...

                    OMG that is hilarious!

                      By an avid student of the Swoosh school of logo design, I can't help noticing.

                      I know, I know ... I should just let both it and this thread die. But I just can't get over it .... and they have such a fascinating product range. It's almost enough to make you feel like you're in the audience of some weird play.

                        seriously? anybody try this? it cannot be as stupid as it sounds... I am afraid to install the eval version...

                          Oh, but they've managed to shave nearly 300kB from the download!

                          Trust me. It is as stupid as it sounds. In fact, there's a very good case for saying that it's even stupider.

                            Well, I decided to give it a try.

                            Here's the original test webpage:

                            <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
                            	"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
                            <html>
                            <head>
                            <title>PHP Witchcraft</title>
                            </head>
                            <body>
                            <p>Let's try casting a spell....</p>
                            </body>
                            </html>

                            Here's the result after the conversion:

                            <?php
                            echo "<!-- Please register VisorSoft HTML To PHP Converter 4 -->\n";
                            echo "<H3><FONT COLOR=\"#FF0000\">This PHP file was generated using an UNREGISTERED COPY of <a href=\"http://www.visorsoft.com\">VisorSoft Software HTML To PHP Converter 4</a><br>The registered version does not display this notice.</FONT></H3>\n";
                            echo "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\"\n";
                            echo "	\"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd\">\n";
                            echo "<html>\n";
                            echo "<head>\n";
                            echo "<title>PHP Witchcraft</title>\n";
                            echo "</head>\n";
                            echo "<body>\n";
                            echo "<p>Let's try casting a spell....</p>\n";
                            echo "</body>\n";
                            echo "</html>\n";
                            echo "<!-- Please register VisorSoft HTML To PHP Converter 4 -->\n";
                            echo "<H3><FONT COLOR=\"#FF0000\">This PHP file was generated using an UNREGISTERED COPY of <a href=\"http://www.visorsoft.com\">VisorSoft Software HTML To PHP Converter 4</a><br>The registered version does not display this notice.</FONT></H3>\n";
                            ?>
                            

                            It seems that in single file mode one has to actually provide an existing PHP file to which the converted text can be written. Multiple file mode simply creates a PHP file with the same name, but different extension.

                            The program settings are not too complicated. A pair of radio buttons to choose if you want a sound to be played on conversion, and a text input control to choose the location of the sound file.

                            As for the PHP code generated... well, +1 for the avoidance of short tags. I do not really know why one would want to step into PHP in the first place, but I guess that VisorSoft's customers know better.

                            I tested the uninstall, and it seems to work. Oh well.

                              hahaha,

                              Seriously.. This is the biggest joke ever! Makes you wonder.. Would people actually pay the 9 bucks for it?!

                              Tsss.

                              Can only finish like Laser... Oh well..

                                Was thinking the same thing myself.... 😉

                                  Well, now that you've seen what it does - can you think of a less stupid way it could do what it sounds like it's supposed to do? If you can, then it's stupider than it sounds, right?

                                    I think we all thought of the less stupid way first. I must concede that I am not as smart as VisorSoft at being stupid.
