Hi all,

first I want to thank everyone who helped me in the past different topics to solve some issues I had with my current development.

I think I've come to a somewhat powerful base for my extension.

I've created a code design engine which is very flexible and has already permitted me to increase the number of code models for the PHP Form Info extension.

I would like to know, in the user point of view, what makes an extension remarkable. I'm not really talking about Macromedia suggestion like design a table with baseline alignement, but about GUI,intuitiveness, and usefulness.

For exampe, how do I know that such feature will be useful ? For example in the PHP Form Info, I've included the possibility to design table. This models, actually, was just there more to show the ability of the extension rather than being very useful.

Tim, who checked the first version of the extension for approval, told me that it was for him a remarkable feature.

How could I have known that ?

To tell the truth, this extension is mainly designed for the power user, the one that isn't scared to get his hand dirty by diving into the code.<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> What would you recommend me to add/do in order to make it the most useful ?

Of course, the first thing I'm trying to do is correctness and stability, but do you see something special ? Something that you've experienced and that was frustrating ?

I'm going to release the version 2 of the extension, and would really appreciate your help.

Maehdros,

very interesting question. I think you should post it also in the PHP TalkZones as that one is much more visited than this one.

I will have a look at your extension and give you some feedback. I am no php user so I have only viewed it once. I see that you are also willing to make it available for other server models but need assistance. Please put all PHP codes (or variations) that the extension can generate and I will do my very best to translate it to ASP.
