If all you're doing is applying the patch (not adding/removing any extensions), you should be able to use ./config.nice which will use all of the configuration commands from your last compile (This is an extremely handy thing if your GD/Freetype setup was particularly ornery the first time around! ;) ) -Andy > -Original Message- > From: Ricky Dhatt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs > --with-ldap > > make > > make install > > /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart > > Hmm...is the configure step really necessary? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Creating Image...
To write a GD image to disk as a jpeg, do this instead:
$im = imagecreate(50,100);
imagejpeg($im, "test/im.jpg");
You don't need to use file handlers. Of course, without doing anything like
adding text or lines to $im, it will just be written to disk as a blank
image. :)

RE: [PHP] PHP to create static images
To save an image to disk with the imagepng/imagejpg/imagewbmp functions all you have to do is give the file name as the second parameter to the function; so if you wanted to call the first graph 'graph1.png', it would go something like imagepng will attempt to save graph1.png in the same directory as the script.

RE: [PHP] Image aliasing
Hi Morgan, None that I'm aware of. I guess this is somewhat OT, but does the person you're giving the images to realize that resizing the images by means of the HTML width/height attributes doesn't do anything to size of the file the person viewing the page has to download? I don't know the particulars of your situation, but say you give him a dozen high quality JPEGS at 800x600 pixels and about 120K each... if he puts those on a page and resizes them to 96 x 72 in the HTML to make 'thumbnails', the user is still going to be stuck downloading 1440K! That's a pretty hefty page to download even if you have a broadband connection. (From an end-user standpoint, I find it *really* annoying when people do this!) Maybe you can point this out to the person you're supplying images to? It's not a PHP-based solution, but maybe it will help :) Good Luck, -Andy P.S. You could put together a PHP script that would use the GD 'imagecopyresampled' function to automatically generate the thumbnails for him, but that assumes 1) You have access to his server and 2) He has PHP ;) > -Original Message- > I'm wondering if anybody has ever figured out a way to get around the > absolutely abysmal way that Internet Explorer resizes images? > > The problem is that the person I'm supplying the images to refuses to use > two copies (a small one, and a large one) and instead uses one (just the > large one) and when he needs a small representation of it he > slaps the large > image in and sets the width and height tags. > > The problem comes in when I'm trying to supply him with good > looking images. > Sure, the large image looks fine, but that smaller image gets aliased to > hell and back.

RE: [PHP] Editing Word Documents
Hmm, I don't know about intercepting the "Save As..." option from word to trigger a PHP URL, but you could direct people to save their edited word files to a specific directory on a network share on a PHP-enabled server (easy enough on a Windows network, and not too much harder with Samba on Linux)... then you could run a PHP script as a cron job to check for modified files in that directory every five or ten minutes, and have the script upload them as needed. It's not instantaneous, and there would definitely be some logistics to work out (what if two people are editing the same file at the same time, how do you account for that 5-10 minute lag, etc.) but it might be better than nothing. -Andy > -Original Message- > From: Chris Hewitt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 3:47 AM > To: Kevin Stone > Cc: David Russell; php-general > Subject: Re: [PHP] Editing Word Documents > > > I think what the OP meant (certainly what I meant), is that the Word doc > is accessed from a normal link.

RE: [PHP] Security with XML
You could store passwords as MD5 hashes which of course is NOT really
encryption, but it would obfuscate the users' passwords. They would still
be vulnerable to social engineering ("Hmm, I'll try his wife's name, then
his dog's name, then his phone#," etc) and brute force ("I'm going to run
every word in the pspell dictionary through MD5 and see if anything
matches") attacks, but it would be better than plain text, at least.
So, instead of
Foo
bar
you would have
Foo
37b51d194a7513e45b56f6524f2d51f2
When 'Foo' tries to log in, you would just use MD5() on the password he
entered in the web form and compare it to the value in the XML file. If it
matches, he's in... otherwise, it's not the right password.
I'm sure others will come up with more secure ideas, but anything is more
secure than passwords in plain text. :)

[PHP] RE: Building my site... again - somewhat OT
Hi Torkil, You may want to head over to Webmonkey and read their article about Search Engine optimization: http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/01/23/index1a.html A few key points that have proven very helpful with my personal web site: A central "crawler index" with links to each page on my site that I want spiders to crawl; this is the only page I need to submit to a search engine, and since I store my content in MySQL the page is always up to date. A friendly URL structure - some search engines will follow a link like "index.php?page=cars&subpage=ferrari", but I figured I would make my site crawlable by *any* spider that might come its way, and began using Apache mod_rewrite to translate urls internally; so when a browser requests a link like "/cars/ferrari/index.html", Apache will rewrite the URL to "index.php?page=cars&subpage=ferrari" internally. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the CGI version of PHP like the other URL rewriting method that has been mentioned. Another handy tag that some spiders (Most notably, Googlebot) obey is the ROBOTS meta tag, which tells the spider what to do with the current page: - Index the current page, and follow all of its links - Index the the current page, but don't follow any links - Don't index the current page, but follow all of its links - Don't index the current page, and don't follow any links; dead end.

[PHP] RE: 72dpi with gdlibrary2?
IANAGE (I Am Not A GD Expert), but as far as I know the GD functions dealing with image size don't concern themselves with the resolution of an image in terms of dots per inch, just with the number of pixels. Since most uses of the GD library functions in PHP will have to do with creating/manipulating images to send to the browser, it should be safe to assume that any image created with PHP will be 72 DPI. If you're talking about resizing a much larger image (for instance, a 3.5 inch by 5 inch JPEG created at 300 DPI), you just need to do some math to figure out how much to shrink it. If your source resolution is 300 DPI and your target resolution is 72 DPI, you need to multiply the number of pixels in the width and height of the 300 DPI original by a factor of 72/300, which equals .24. Or to put it another way: 5 inches at 300 DPI = 1500 pixels. 5 inches at 72 DPI = 360 pixels. 1500 pixels * .24 = 360 pixels. I hope that wasn't utterly confusing, but IANAMT (I Am Not A Math Teacher), either. :P You'll probably want to take a look at the imagecopyresized and imagecopyresampled functions: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecopyresized.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecopyresampled.php (Imagecopyresampled produces much nicer results, but it's only available in 4.06 and later.) -Andy > -Original Message- > From: Andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > I would like to create images with 72 dpi with gdlibrary2.01 > > Is this possible? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] RE: OOP .. I just don't get it.
Well, the 'Table' class is definitely of limited usefulness..
but where classes come in especially handy is when you want to build
reusable code for handling common tasks, like, for instance, MySQL
connections and queries... so that your PHP code looks something like
//
$db = new mysqlObject;
$db->connect("localhost","username","password","mydatabase");
$db->doQuery("select * from mytable");
foreach($db->resultRows){
//Do stuff with the query results here
}
$db->disconnect();
/ instead of something like: /
$dbconnection = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password");
mysql_select_db("mydatabase",$dbconnection);
$result = mysql_query("select * from mytable",$dbconnection);
$resultrows = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$resultrows[] = $row;
}
foreach($resultrows as $temprow){
//Do stuff with the query results here
}
mysql_disconnect($dbconnection);
//
The first, most obvious advantage is that the code becomes a easier to read,
which is important if you're working on a complex project.
You could arguably create a set of regular functions for MySQL stuff if you
really wanted to, but you'll have to keep careful track of any global
variables you might be using; When you're working with a class all of your
class variables and functions are properties of an object, always with the
same name and easily accessed, but separate from any local variables you're
working with. When you're working with a collection of functions, your
variables are all over the place and prone to inconsistency.
For instance, handling two different database connections in the same script
is easy with a class; using the hypothetical example from above, you know
that the results of your query are always going to be stored in the
'resultRows' property of the object, so it's as easy as accessing
$foo->resultRows and $bar->resultRows.
If you were using a collection of functions, you would have to come up with
a second variable name to store results from the second connection for that
particular script, and even if you try to maintain consistency among all the
scripts on your site using your collection of database functions, chances
are that things will get messy at some point; it's easier to keep track of
commonly used variable and function names at the class level.
Hmm, I hope that sort of made sense... it's a tough thing to explain. It
took me a long time to get my head around the usefulness of OOP, too- as you
said, examples are usually not very practical. The first explanation of OOP
that I ever read dealt with a hypothetical 'vehicle' class, and although I
understood the *theory*, I wondered for the longest time why I would want to
write a program for describing different kinds of imaginary cars and turning
them on and off, or extend it to describe imaginary boats and motorcycles.

RE: [PHP] How to adress pictures stored outside of the http server root?
If you just want to prevent users from getting a listing of your image directory, you can do a couple of things: 1) Put an empty 'index.html' (or whatever the server default is) in the image directory, so anyone trying to browse the directory will get a blank page. or 2) (Assuming your server is Apache) Create a '.htaccess' file in the images directory and add the line Options -Indexes Either one ought to be less of a performance hit than doing a readfile() on each image you want to send to the browser. :) This article has more stuff on .htaccess: http://www.codingclick.com/article.php?page=0&aid=3 HTH, -Andy > -Original Message- > From: andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > hmm sounds logical.

It's a problem, however, if you want to include a PHP variable in that echo
statement, if you're populating a SELECT menu with a loop, for instance;
$menu_options = array("A" => "Option 1", "B" => "Option 2", "C" => "Option
3");
foreach(array_keys($menu_options) as $option_value){
$option_text = $menu_options[$option_value];
echo '$option_text';
}
would just output
$option_text
$option_text
$option_text
which is probably not the desired output :) You need to use double quotes
for variable substitution. Unfortunately, if you want to maintain XHTML
compliance the tag attributes have to be double-quoted too...
echo "$option_text\n";
(Might as well add a "\n" at the end of the line for readability in the
browser's 'View Source' window!)

[PHP] XHTML tag attribute quoting (Was Re: Forms in PHP)
Are single quotes valid around tag attributes in XHTML? I skimmed over the W3C XHTML 1.0 spec before posting the previous message and got the impression all attributes had to be double quoted. It would be great if single quotes were valid, since I've fallen into the habit of using them for the same exact reason this thread got started... easier to read and faster to type than \" :) Oops, and shame on me - tag and attribute names in my previous code snippets should all be lower case, too, IE: echo "$option_text\n"; Of course, a page will render just fine in any modern browser whether tag attribute values are single or double quoted (or in most cases, even if they're not quoted at all.) But if everyone got in the habit of adhering to standards, and browsers implemented standards correctly (without extending them with propietary junk), what a nice world it would be. Oh, and world peace would be great too. :P Of course, I'm just as guilty of lax coding. The next time I begin a site from scratch my plan is to use PSGML mode in emacs, and edit against the XHTML 1.0 DTD. Strict? Yes, but clean and compliant :) (And PSGML does great code formatting as you go.) -Andy > Unfortunately, if you want to maintain XHTML > : compliance the tag attributes have to be double-quoted too... > : > : echo "$option_text\n"; > > Why stick with quotation marks? > > echo "$option_text\n";> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] RE: Forms and Netscape -- spacing problem -- Help!
It's almost certainly not W3C compliant, but if your form is inside a table (I know, I know - you're not supposed to use tables for layout) you can hide the tags outside the tags of the cell containing the form: E.G.: I've never had a problem with this workaround in IE/Netscape 4.x as long as the tags are nested correctly.

I try whenever possible to follow the W3C's standards, but inconsistent browser implementation of HTML and CSS usually gets in the way. :P > -Original Message- > Subject: Re: Forms and Netscape -- spacing problem -- Help! > > form tag in NS (4x - 6x) there is some additional space > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [PHP] can't get gd working at all
Glad your host got that straightened out - for future reference, an easy way to look at the server's PHP config is to make a page using phpinfo - It will show you whether GD (and other extensions) are installed, as well as the image format(s) supported and whether or not Freetype support is included. -Andy > -Original Message- > From: Matt Greer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2001 11:46 AM > To: php-gen > Subject: Re: [PHP] can't get gd working at all > > > Ah ha, my host was wrong. gd is not installed on the server I'm on, but > they're moving me over to one that has it. > > Sorry everyone, but I didn't know enough about any of this to be able to > verify what they told me. > > Thanks for all the help. > > Matt > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] RE: could i get a clue?
No sure how you mean 'calling' the script... but in addition to using something like document.location='myscript.php' It would theoretically be possible to pass javascript variables to a PHP script in the same way by using something like var foo = "Some Text"; var bar = "Some other text"; document.location = 'myscript.php?foo=' + foo + '&bar=' + bar; And although it's not exactly 'calling' a script from Javascript, you can use PHP to generate your script on the fly... handy if you need to do something with data from a database within a Javascript. (Not sure what that would be, but it might come in handy.) -Andy > -Original Message- > From: Richard Lynch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2001 8:19 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: could i get a clue? > > > > ok a basic question. perhaps I dont know enough about javascript but > > anyway.. > > > > I want to call a php script from javascript.

[PHP] RE: ImagePNG problem
Make sure you have GD 2.0.1 and PHP 4.0.6 or later for creating true-color PNGs, per the manual: http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatetruecolor.php -Andy > -Original Message- > From: Adrian Ciutureanu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Is there any way to tell ImagePNG() to create PNG24 images instead of PNG8 > images?

[PHP] RE: What development environment do you use for PHP?
I keep my web documents in a CVS repository on a Linux box, and use WinCVS (GNU) to check files in and out on my WinNT desktop. I use ConTEXT (freeware) for editing. Documentation and help are always available at php.net and google.com. I have an Apache 'staging' server, and to keep the document tree up to date with the CVS repository I run a cron job that performs 'cvs update -d' every five minutes from the server document root. When a project is ready to go live, all that's needed is a 'CVS export' command to generate a clean copy of the most recent files to go on the live server - meanwhile keeping a complete revision history in CVS in case there's ever a need to access an older version. It works quite nicely. I've never had much patience with development environments... they always seem like more trouble than they're worth. (Of course, I've never gotten very deep into a language like C with all the cross linking and Make files - I could see an IDE coming in handy in that case!) Oh, and my Linux 'box' is actually a VMWare virtual machine running Mandrake Linux 8.0 on my WinNT desktop. ;-) -Andy > -Original Message- > From: Greg Beaver [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 12:11 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: What development environment do you use for PHP? > > > Hi, > > I'm curious what programs/platforms different people use to develop PHP. > > > Anyone have a sweet setup that makes it all easier? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

WinCVS is available from http://www.wincvs.org - they also have Mac and X versions, although I've never tried them. -Andy > -Original Message- > From: John Meyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Where do you get WinCVS , by the by? > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] RE: WebMail Client
You might want to take a look at Netmania. (http://www.netmania.org) Caveats: I helped install Netmania at a former employer back in February 2001, and with the then-current distribution we had all kinds of trouble setting it up until we realized that it depended on having *all* error handling turned off (even warnings) - with errors disabled it worked like a dream, although we had to wonder why they would have released code known to cause warning messages. I think a new version has come out since then, and maybe they've addressed some of those problems. Once set up it's a very impressive system both in appearance and functionality - it does use a lot of Javascript, so there might be issues between Netscape/IE/Konqueror/Mozilla/Mac/Windows/Linux. YMMV :) It requires Unix/Linux, Apache 1.3 and MySQL. -Andy > -Original Message- > From: Rosen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 5:17 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: WebMail Client > > > Hi, > Can someone recommend me some free php script for WebMail client > (like Squerriemail) ? > > Thanks, > Rosen > > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
