LYLY Printing Data Creation Command

Preparing the PHP Environment

[Installing PHP]

• Go to: https://www.php.net/downloads
• Click on "Windows downloads" for the Current Stable PHP 8.3.10 version
• Download the "VS16 Non Thread Safe" Zip file
• Extract the file, rename the extracted php folder to a shorter name, and move it to C:\php. Then, add the PHP path to your environment variables.

For guidance on how to add the path, refer to the following: https://www.javadrive.jp/php/install/index3.html

Open the standard Windows Command Prompt, and run php -v to check if the PHP version is displayed. If the version appears, PHP has been successfully added to the system path.

To open:

• Type "Environment Variables" in the Windows Start menu to open the Environment Variables window.
• Type "cmd" to open the Command Prompt.

PHP Warning: Missing VCRUNTIME140.dll or Other Errors

If you encounter an error related to VCRUNTIME140.dll or similar, visit: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 Download the appropriate version of the "Latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Version" (x86 for 32-bit PCs, x64 for 64-bit PCs). Most modern PCs will likely be 64-bit.

Adding PHP Modules

Copy the php.ini file from the LYLY folder into the C:\php directory.

The php.ini file is already configured with necessary modules for handling Japanese text and PDF generation libraries, as well as image processing modules.

At this point, PHP setup is complete.

Program Installation

Extract the provided zip file and place the lyly folder in C:\lyly. It might be helpful to create a shortcut to the lyly folder on your desktop for easy access.

Usage

[Method 1]
Drag and drop a CSV file onto run.bat.

[Method 2]
Execute the following in Command Prompt:

cd C:\lyly
php run.php CSVFileName.csv

Generating Print PDFs

After running one of the above methods:

• Image files will be placed in the download folder.
• Individual design PDFs will be created in the temp folder.
• Printable PDFs will be generated in the draft folder.

Design Adjustment

To modify designs, you can edit the config.php file in C:\lyly\config.php.
Refer to the comments inside config.php for guidance on editing. Any changes are made at your own risk.

Naming Conventions and Others

For the program's operation, files such as the print-ready PDF follow naming conventions using only lowercase English letters. Below are some clarifications on specific naming conventions. Other terms are named in a straightforward manner, e.g., "fullcolor" for full-color files.
