think that some of you has read this post : Where is the include coming from ?. It was an interesting post appeared on the PHP::Impact blog, which i re posted and linked here because i thought it was an interesting one regarding the future of care2x.

Well, how to create those diagrams for Care2x ? In this brief tutorial i’ll try to explain the steps to follow to have the inclued php extension to work under ubuntu – 8.04 in my case.

supposing you have installed apache, and php correctly.

Step 1

before downloading and installing the inclued extension we have to install graphviz :

Step 2

now we download the extension from here : http://t3.dotgnu.info/code/inclued-0.3.tar.gz

then we have to extract it somewhere, so

and that was the hardes part.

Step 3

now we have to configure php to load it as an extension

and add those lines at the end of the file

save it and restart apache

and now getting the actual graphs.

open up your browser and point it to your care2x installation, in my case http://localhost/care2x and login, open up a patient registration and then do a logout.

if you now do a cd /tmp you will see a lot of files named like : inclued.07933.1, inclued.07933.2, … ecc.

these files have to be parsed with the given gengraph.php.

you can use the given gengraph script with the following syntax :

then to create a png file with :

to speed up things a bit i’ve written the following short shell script which will parse all the inclued generated files in the current directory :

don’t forget to chmod u+x it to make it executable.

and that’s all, now you can have an idea of which files are included during c2x functions.

hope you find it useful.
