[PHP] image uploads - part 2
Thanks Robby Russell, Jason Wong , Greg Donald, raditha dissanayak and every one else who answered part 1 of my email concerning image uploads. It was about where to store images uploaded by website users and question was database vs filesystem and dedicated vs shared hosting and the conclusion I could understand was fast,secure,cheap pick any two 1) database + shared = secure and cheap 2) filesystem + shared = fast and cheap 3) filesystem + dedicated = fast and secure 4) database + dedicated = err.. stupid? ;) For now I have decided to try option 1 and see how far I can go till performance begins to become a limiting factor and then decide later if I really need to, to choose between security and cost. I have another question. I have used mysql mediumblob to store images. They are jpeg files. When I retrieve that binary data with a query and generate an image with PHP .. ie. I do The image gets generated and displayed OK. But when I save that image file on my work station it gets saved as a huge file .. a file which was 36 Kb jpg when uploaded is saved as 5Mb bmp when downloaded.

[PHP] Questions about mysql_real_escape_string and addslashes
First I'm a bit unsure , because in the manual it states that you must use mysql_real_escape_string on binary data. So first question, what constitutues binary data, a file or just an integer? Second question - Since magic_quote_gpc is enabled on my server (and I have no choice) - I gather I must use addslashes() 3rd- Some of the user input translates to an int value where I later do a join for the actual label. I believe those fields are protected naturally since the database won't accept anything but an int. 4th - With both of these functions it looks like they become part of the sql query. I could use some help in understanding how to set up variables using both functions. In otherwords, an example of how they get coded.

I'm not quite getting what you're saying - are you sending the error
messages on to a new page?! The usual and simple way of doing this is
the good 'ol OR operator:
do_something() or die('Couldn\'t do it, sorry...');
Well, maybe an IF then:
if (!do_something()) {
exit('Still can\' do it...');
}
But there are also much more sophisticated ways of doing it. Clarify
exactly what you're trying to do, and we'll get back to them.

I don't expect that my web application will be the only interface to the data that I am storing the database. For some clients, we build pyton interfaces that clients run on their desktop. We also replicate our databases across a few servers and it's much easier to keep track of the database than it is to make sure a bunch of filesystem-stored files are too. Some of our client database machines don't have a webservers so we don't program with just the web in mind. With storing in the database, we get transaction support and we know that an image will not be deleted if it is being referenced by another piece of data. Speed versus data integrity is something we have to juggle per client as to what is more important. If you know how to optimize your database (a stock pgsql db can be rather slow..) then the speed differences are not enough of a factor for us to know that our data just a bit more safer. -Robby -- /*** * Robby Russell | Owner.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON | www.planetargon.com * Portland, OR | [EMAIL PROTECTED] * 503.351.4730 | blog.planetargon.com * PHP/PostgreSQL Hosting & Development *--- Now supporting PHP5 --- / signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I'm saying, currently if there is an error and the
script needs to exit, I'm doing this :
if ..error {
$_SESSION['ErMsg'] = "Submit Failure";
header (location: )
exit;
}
I want to know what alternatives there are to error
messages aside from using a session variable.

Re: Re: [PHP] Problem with fopen(...) -
Well, since I'm using the latest version of the PHP plugin, it can't be that I'm using
the $_FILES variable ($HTTP_POST_FILES is for older versions of php as far as I know).
Nevertheless, I tried it.. and it didn't work.
To clarify my problem.. I'm using a form to get a file name and some other info
(regular text boxes) where the file information is supposed to be stored in the
$_FILES array (predefined by php). Though it seems that I can't use neither the [name]
or the [tmp_name] field in this array to get the file name. The error occurs directly
when I try to fopen(...) the file. I simply get the following error:
Warning: fopen("", "r") - No error in c:\code\wengine\aey.php on line 130
My MySQL db is working just fine, so is PHP (other code works), as well as the process
of using other HTML form information for PHP processing (such as textboxes).
Does the error message above ring a bell to you? Thanks..

Re: [PHP] images doesn't seem to cache
Your eyes are fine. You need to check for If-Modified-Since header, if
the time is older than file modification time (filemtime()) send
Last-Modified header and the image, else send 304 Not Modified response.
This code seems to work. Have I got it right?
// Get the time the cache file was last modified
$lastModified = filemtime($pPath);
// Issue an HTTP last modified header
header('Last-Modified: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', $lastModified) . '
GMT');
if (isset($_GET['If-Modified-Since']))
{
// Split the If-Modified-Since (Netscape < v6 gets this wrong)
$modifiedSince = explode(';', $_GET['If-Modified-Since']);
// Turn the client request If-Modified-Since into a timestamp
$modifiedSince = strtotime($modifiedSince[0]);
}
else
{
$modifiedSince = 0;
}
// Compare time the content was last modified with client cache
if ($lastModified <= $modifiedSince)
{
header('HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified');
}
else
{
$extention = substr($path, -3);
if ($extention == "jpg")
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
if ($extention == "gif")
header("Content-type: image/gif");
if ($extention == "bmp")
header("Content-type: image/bmp");
if ($extention == "png")

So only if it deems not to be, then it runs the script, and when it does that, the script doesn't need to know anything about modified-since, because that checks has long since been passed. This is all an issue between browser and server, and php can't interfere in between those. However, to do something about it, change the headers that you send abou caching.

[PHP] Using fonts in TrueType suitcases on a Mac?
I'm trying to use some of the truetype fonts on my mac with PHP's "imagettfbbox()" routine but since all my fonts are contained within suitcases, I don't know how to get them to work. I found one non-suitcase TrueType font that loads fine so I know the basic mechanism works and the script has the correct permissions to access fonts. Anyone know how to use TrueType Suitcases with PHP? Thanks for any help Ken

Re: [PHP] Object oriented??
Is PHP an object oriented language. If not is it gonna be? PHP is not an object oriented language (like Java). Although PHP supports the creation of objects, you can still do pretty much everything without ever using OOP. I can't imagine PHP ever being turned into a true OO language, but I could be wrong on that.

[PHP] Syntax problem - dynamic static member access
Hello All,
I am having an interesting syntax problem. :(
I have been battling this little bugger for the last week and a half, I
have exhausted google and numerous php channels in that time.
I am starting to beleive it could be a syntax that is sofar
un-documented or an unclear syntax limitation (read as: bug?).
PHP Version:
PHP Version 5.1.0-dev
- And has been tested on numerous other builds/versions
Problem:
I am trying to access a static member of a class dynamically.
ie.
$foo = 'className';
echo $foo::$staticMember;
Example Code:
-
// Define a class with a nice juicy static variable
class bob {
public static $type = 'safd';
}
// Lets chuck the name of the class into a variable...
$foo = 'bob';
// Just to show it all works lets do it manually
echo bob::$type;
// This is the line with the well-wicked parse error on the double colon
echo $foo::$type;
?>
Note that the last line in this example code generated a syntax error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM,
expecting ',' or ';' in /mnt/data0/www/twd/test.php on line 15
I'm aware that the current syntax is definately wrong, but for
simplicity i think its a good example.
I think i have ruled out its an internal scoping issue within php by
successfully using eval() to them same effect.
ie.
eval('echo '. $foo .'::$type;');
Thanks in advance for any Thoughts, Answers and Comments
Regards
Jake Press

You could do it in a SQL statement
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_name;
This is less system intensive.

[PHP] Re: Using fonts in TrueType suitcases on a Mac?
I don't know if this will help you but you could try converting them. Its hard to explain how to do .. but here is a start.. 1) Burn the fonts to a Mac cd (burn the Cd for a mac.. not a PC.. if you do you will loose information) 2) Bring the cd to a windows machine and use MacDisk to read the cd. you can get macdisk from: macdisk.com 3) Grab the fonts off the Cd (using MacDisk) 4) Then use CrossFont (http://www.asy.com/) to convert them. This maybe more work then its worth... but its one possible solution.

Yeah definitely use COUNT(*) or mysql_num_rows() function.

Re: [PHP] Object oriented??
Yes of course...but was confused since some says it is so and some says it is not...So thought of asking the pros.. It is. PHP4 had limited support for OOP, though it was quite usable. PHP5 goes further and provides pretty much everything else. See the documentation on php.net for the complete language reference. I guess this is where the OP's confusion stemmed from (Robert said Yes, I said No)! A liberal definition of OO is "An adjective applied to any system or language that supports the use of objects", under which PHP would qualify. But, in strict OO languages, everything must be done using objects. You can't even do a simple "Hello, World" without them (I could be wrong on this, of course). With that understanding PHP would not be OO. So, in short, PHP __supports__ objects but does not __require__ them. There's a good chance that 20 people will chime in now, with their own corrections.

[PHP] Adding to a Date
Hi,
I am trying to add "x" days to the current date for a calendar program that I
am writing. "x" represents any integer from 1 to 7. So, for x=4, the program
will get the current date
2004-11-06
and add 4 days to it:
2004-11-10
I need it to account for the next month if I want to add 4 days to 2004-11-29,
so the result would be 2004-12-03, not 2004-11-33. It would need the same
functionality in moving the year to 2005-01-02 when I add 3 days to 2004-12-30.
I hope that I've explained my objective clearly. I have tried getting the date
using
$today = date("Y-m-d");
and then trying to add "x" to it, but it only adds "x" to the year, not the day
value. So how can I get PHP to add "x" to the day value? Any help would be
awesome! Thanks,
Matt

[PHP] Re: Syntax problem - dynamic static member access
Jake, as you probably already know you usually have to give the class name when
attempting to get a static variable, i.e.
YourClassName::$bob;
You *can* dynamically refer to a static class variable from within an object
without knowing the name of the class; this is what self is for. i.e.
class YourClassName {
function getStatic($var) {
return self::$var;
}
}

[PHP] Re: Adding to a Date
There are probably a lot of ways to solve this problem, but the way I would do it: create a timestamp out of whatever date you have, then add x * 24 * 60 * 60 to it and convert from the timestamp back into whatever string format date you want. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
