Winbinder & win323ps for php 7.4.33

[N6REJ]

I'm sorry to bother you again. We're still having all kinds of trouble debugging why our project won't run with current .dll's. We tried 8.4.4 and our project keeps getting stuck when its trying to install the services.
We're thinking maybe we can realisticlly go to php 7.4.33 from the 5.6.40 you gave us before but we can't seem to locate the files and our build instructions don't work.
we need

1. php_memcache.dll ( easy to get for 7.4 )
2. php_win32service.dll
3. php_winbinder.dll
4. php_win32ps.dll
   in order for our program to function.
   Would you be able to help with those 3 dll's?

Hello!

I would suggest staying with the latest PHP that is supported.

PHP 8 extensions:

php_memcache.dll
https://downloads.php.net/~windows/pecl/releases/memcache/8.2/php_memcache-8.2-8.4-ts-vs17-x64.zip

php_win32service
https://github.com/win32service/win32service/releases/download/v1.0.2/php_win32service-8.1-ts-vs16-x64.dll

php_winbinder.dll
https://github.com/crispy-computing-machine/Winbinder-PHP8/releases/download/latest/php_winbinder.dll

php_win32ps.dll
https://github.com/crispy-computing-machine/php_win32ps/releases/download/latest/php_win32ps.dll

If you give me some more info on what specific issues you are facing when using php 8 I can take a look.

I propose a different solution. Since you will likely be working on Windows, you can use Windows' graphical interface format, ".HTA". It is based on HTML and VBScript, executed through Mshta.exe (Microsoft HTML Application Host) to run Microsoft HTML Application (HTA) files.

With an AI like GPT, you can create your graphical interface and integrate PHP in multiple ways. In a local web environment, you can call it directly. However, don't forget that an HTA file downloaded from the internet must be unlocked in its file properties, as this is a Windows security measure.

I personally find this HTA format the most interesting for creating a fast and complex interface compared to WinBinder.

I tried reaching out to you but haven't had any luck.
I've got most everything working on php 8.2.3 based off your example package but I'm having a problem with this method not returning multiline text like it did before.
https://github.com/Bearsampp/sandbox/blob/56c1c69e30f1ca7ee055ecd3b7c8da869b420c4c/core/classes/class.winbinder.php#L690-L725
in the parent to that method
we have

    public function createLabel($parent, $caption, $xPos, $yPos, $width = null, $height = null, $style = null, $params = null)
    {
        $caption = str_replace(self::NEW_LINE, PHP_EOL, $caption);
        $width   = $width == null ? 120 : $width;
        $height  = $height == null ? 25 : $height;

        return $this->createControl($parent, Label, $caption, $xPos, $yPos, $width, $height, $style, $params);
    }

with self::NEW_LINE = @nl@
Not sure where to go from here. The window displays

but its all one truncated line instead of
Multiline like it was

I did do a test to be sure it was creating multiline text from the str_replace and it is.

Lastly here's the class that creates the about box

Hello! Sorry for the delay!

You need to use the WBC_MULTILINE constant in the style parameter. This automatically performs word-break to fit the text in the label and allows you to use PHP_EOL constant to add new lines.

Hope this helps!

We couldn't get multine to work either, I finally got it by using multiple single lines.
https://github.com/Bearsampp/sandbox/blob/main/core/classes/actions/class.action.about.php
Here's the pr for it. Bearsampp/sandbox#137

The functionality is there and working provided the style tag is correct:

$this->window->createControl(Label, 'test_label', 'Test label here - a long line to demonstrate multi line labels'.PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL .'using end of line characters', 0, 5, 200, 200, WBC_VISIBLE | WBC_MULTILINE);
