Added an email class based on my Dmail class (which has some code from codeigniters email class). Fully tested as working on Windows 7 64-bit on XAMPP (PHP 5.3.1). Documented and gives credit to codeigniter where needed. Use is almost identical to codeigniters email class:

Email::initalize(Array())
    ->to('someone')
    ->from('someone')
    ->html('Set some HTML here')
    ->text('Set some text here')
    ->message('Can optionally use message and set_alt_message()')
    ->send();
Email::print_debugger();

See http://fuelphp.com/forums/discussion/13015/fuelphp-1-x-composer-setup

composer.json in this PR is for 1.7.2, and needs tags "v1.7.2" of all sub repositories.

To test this, change all "reference": "v1.7.2""reference": "1.7/master" to "reference": "1.8/develop"

I stumbled across composer/installers the other day, and I figured out how to use it to install core, modules and packages. I have submitted a PR to them [ https://github.com/composer/installers/pull/57 ] so that they can enable support, but you should be able to test what I have done as I have used composer/satis to create my own temporary repository for installing composer packages.

I have submitted 6 other PRs to you.

https://github.com/fuel/core/pull/1310 https://github.com/fuel/auth/pull/46 https://github.com/fuel/email/pull/36 https://github.com/fuel/oil/pull/168 https://github.com/fuel/orm/pull/216 https://github.com/fuel/parser/pull/64

I am aware that the PRs aren't correct, as the composer.json files point to my personal repository and my branches, but this is just so that you can simply clone and run composer install to see it work.

If you like the idea, all you need to do is add the fuel/* repositories to https://packagist.org/

As a fair bit of effort went into this, I would appreciate being able to fix these PRs to make them point to the packages on packagist once you have added them, so please don't rewrite my commits as I won't get any "credit" for my work.

Fixed 3 bugs:

• Image transparency with GIF images was turning up black, now turns up transparent
• Backgrounds with JPEGs would remove alpha transparency when no bgcolor was given. This would cause jagged edges on transparent PNGs when outputting as JPEG.
• Outputting non-PNG images as the format they were previously in (Such as a outputting a gif as a gif) would result in a PNG image.

Made sizes() public, and added documentation for it. Added reload(), and made a config option for persistence (Same thing as calling reload). Added both to the docs.

Few other minor fixes and what not.

As requested by Phil I wrote a first attempt at a Cache implementation. It's been tested by now and should work fine.

Usage example: $cache = Cache::factory('test'); try { $test = $cache->get(); } catch (Cache_Exception $e) { // create $test value // code below sets expiration to 5 minutes $cache->set_contents($test)->set_expiration(5)->set(); }

When you need to put a oil refine to a cronjob you need to put the full path of oil executable. But, the script doesnt "know" how to execute it. I added the "#!/usr/bin/php", in the file to get this fixed.

Since oil generate a code which need the orm package, and since we will generally use this package on FuelPHP, I suggest to remove the comment before 'orm'...

Added more functionality to Pagination class.

It has 3 operating modes:

• classic (exactly as before, it is the default, no need to adjust anything in the way you use it)
• segment_tag
• get_tag

See bellow for what the new operating modes do and how to activate them.

// fully backwards compattible
// by default it behaves exactly as before,
// if you want to use the new functionality
// then set $config['method'] (see bellow)

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// 'method' => 'classic' (default - behaves exactly as before)
//  no need to do anything different
$config = array(
    'pagination_url' => \Uri::create(),
    'total_items' => 17,
    'per_page' => 5,
    'uri_segment' => 3,
);
Pagination::set_config($config);
echo Pagination::create_links();

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// 'method' => 'segment_tag'
//      usefull if you want to put the pagination nr somwhere other at the end of the pagination_url string
// behaviour:
//      instead of being appended to the end of pagination_url, 
//      the page_nr is str_eplaced where the '{p}' is
// possible uses:
//      'pagination_url' => \Uri::create('monkeys/index/{p}/foo')
//      'pagination_url' => \Uri::create('monkeys/index/{p}?foo=bar')


$config = array(
    'pagination_url' => \Uri::create('monkeys/index/{p}?foo=bar'),
    'total_items' => 17,
    'per_page' => 5,
    'uri_segment' => 3,
    'method' => 'segment_tag',
    
    //hide the segment when page_nr == 1 
    //'hide_1' => false, //default = true
    
    //set the tag that will be str_replaced with the page_nr in the pagination_url
    //'replacement_tag' => ':page', // default ='{p}'
);

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//'method' => 'get_tag'
//      usefull if you want to put the pagination nr in a $_GET variable
// behaviour:
//      the page_nr is str_eplaced where the '{p}' is
//      for example if 
//          pagination_url = 'monkeys/index?{p}', 
//      then the url for page 2 will be:
//          'monkeys/index?page=2' 
// in case 'hide_1' == true (default), for page 1 the page number will be omited from the link url by create_links:
//      'monkeys/index' 
//      instead of 
//      'monkeys/index?page=1' 
// the '?' and the '&' symbols in the url will be inteligently adjusted when hiding the page nr for page 1
// possible uses:
//      'pagination_url' => \Uri::create('monkeys/index?{p}')
//      'pagination_url' => \Uri::create('monkeys/index?foo=bar&{p}&foose=snoose')
// you get the point

$config = array(
    'pagination_url' => \Uri::create('monkeys/index?{p}&foo=bar'),
    'total_items' => 17,
    'per_page' => 5,
    'method' => 'get_tag',

    // set the get variable name:
    //'get_variable'  => 'pagina', //default = 'page'
    
    //hide the get variable when page_nr == 1 
    //'hide_1' => false, //default = true
    
    //set the tag that will be str_replaced with the page_nr in the pagination_url
    //'replacement_tag' => ':page', // default ='{p}'
);

Because otherwise they would be extended non-abstract and throw errors because the eval'ed class alias doesn't implment the abstract methods.

This shouldn't be necessary I think, we could decide to use convention and postfix or prefix all abstract classes with "Abstract" like DB_Abstract instead of DB_Driver or the more flexible DB_DriverAbstract & DB_ResultAbstract. But I'll leave that up to you. In the mean time this commit should solve any problems created by the current situation.

I've wrapped the app execution into an output buffer, and added a finish() method to fuel/core which grabs the output buffer and replaces {memory_usage} and {elapsed_time} in the buffer before displaying, like CodeIgniter does, so that we can get a basic performance record as we develop.

Hello, I want to propose some changes for composer.json and README.md files:
