    <p>I've been reading about Phing and Ant and I'm not sure which, if either, of these tools are most useful for this scenario.</p> <p>It could easily be debug statements etc, but I'll give you our literal scanario.</p> <p>We have a free and premium version of a downloadable PHP app, and rather than including just a variable hidden somewhere and then doing:</p> <pre><code>if($premium == true) { echo 'some additional functionality'; } else { echo 'basic functionality'; } </code></pre> <p>Obviously someone could then take the source and change that variable, and bang - they've stolen our code. And something like Ioncube etc is just totally unwieldy in my experience and support on hosting companies is just not good enough.</p> <p>I would prefer something.. perhaps similar to this:</p> <pre><code>## if premium ## echo 'some additional functionality'; ## else ## echo 'basic functionality'; ## endif ## </code></pre> <p>And then I would run two builds, one setting the premium to true and one to false, which would generate two files of simply:</p> <pre><code>echo 'some additional functionality'; </code></pre> <p>and</p> <pre><code>echo 'basic functionality'; </code></pre> <p>It would also be very helpful to be able to only include entire files based on this same condition passed to the build app.</p> <p>I can't find a way to do this but I am open to any alternative ideas if possible.</p> <p>Help would be outstanding,</p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p> <p>Using the C preprocessor is great and looks like it does everything I need. However, I can't find how to do the following 3 things.</p> <p><strong>#1</strong> I need to remove the comments generated into the output files. Below is an example of those.</p> <pre><code># 1 "./index.php" # 1 "&lt;built-in&gt;" # 1 "&lt;command-line&gt;" # 1 "./index.php" </code></pre> <p>I haven't found an example of how to do this in the manual page you linked me to.</p> <p><strong>#2</strong> I need to make it recursively go through every discovered file. When I run my current code I get an error: <code>../target/./folder/test.php: No such file or directory</code></p> <p>So basically I have my 'source' folder which I'm in, which contains a subfolder called 'folder' and it doesn't recreate that, nor the files inside it (test.php)</p> <p><strong>#3</strong> I'm sure this one is easy - how can I get it to process .js files and probably .html just to be safe as well? In one call, I mean. I assume running it on .jpg etc etc files is a bad idea..</p> <p>Thanks again!</p>

    1. COHow you deploy your packages? If you are using PEAR for packaging, just create two different `packages.xml` (of course you cant name them both `package.xml`).

    2. COWe actually don't use PEAR for packaging. Deployment is simply zipping the file and uploading it to our server. It's very basic in this area and simplicity is the key - there's only one source so versioning isn't needed etc. But I can't manually keep track of a bug in an unrelated area and merging that fix into god-knows how many customisations we'll end up with.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
