Re: [PHP] Re: Creating a PHP5 RPM
The easiest thing to do is to take the existing Redhat EL3 php source rpm, install and get the php spec file. Edit that spec file and modify it for php5. Then copy the php 5.0 tar.gz file over to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and then run rpmbuild -bb php.spec or whatever you named your php spec file. If you don't have a clue about the RPM build system, you may want to look at the Maximum RPM online book available at redhat.

Re: [PHP] PHP Oficial Certification
I personally believe this is a great thing to have out there, especially one which has commercial backing from one of the central php development companies out there.

Re: [PHP] PHP Oficial Certification
Again I point out that this certification starts to make PHP valid in the commercial world. I completely agree with everyone that certs usually aren't worth the paper they are printed on when it comes to technical expertise but to a PHB or client who doesn't know any better except buzz words, a "certified php developer" sounds better. Even I(who would take a seasoned programmer over a certified guy anyday), would probably prefer to hire "certified php" developers because you know what??? It's an easier sell to potential clients. Granted, you have to hire one or two guys who actually know what their doing to keep the ship floating but nevertheless it's an easier sell if you have "certified php developers" on board. -Brent - Original Message - From: "Curt Zirzow" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PHP List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, August 27, 2004 1:22 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP Oficial Certification > * Thus wrote Yann Larrivee: > > For shure a beginner will benefit from this has it is problably give him > > a salary increase compared to the guy that is not certified (we all know > > that php developper are under paid) So this part is good. > > It will also eliminate some people out of the market for shure at some > > point. > > A certifcate most likely wont get you a salary increase, but it will > be favored in consideration of equal experience. > > > > > Yep emplyers will use it to evaluate people, but like i said i you want > > to get good exprience just work on a open source software if you don't > > have any work experience. > > OSS doesn't make a person better programmer, you can easily write > an OSS app and still lack any knowledge of proper writting. > > > > > Now has far has sun certification how it will help you get a php job. > > Well depends what kind of job you are looking for.

[PHP] Convert gif to jpeg on the fly using gd?
I have a class that only accepts jpegs and png's but all of my images(we have over 200 of them) are in gif format. Is there a way to convert from gif to jpeg on the fly without outputting the new image to file or the screen or using a system call to run the gif2XXX utilities? I've tried imagejpeg(imagecreatefromgif($image)) but it outputs the image to the html screen as it should.

Re: [PHP] PHP- Dependant dropdown based on Mysql queries
Using a combination of javascript and php this is easily done. Below is just a way off the top of my head. There are probably simpler ways of doing it or even more elegant but again this is just off the top of my head. You would populate your first dropdown box by whatever method. Then you would do an onselect javascript event to submit the form, the php code would check to see what "step your at" by seeing which select form field was submitted and then take the value of select form field , query against the value, and then use the results to populate the other select form fields.

[PHP] Need help with a string
Given the following string: $textString = "Share A Dream Come True Parade 3:00 SpectroMagic Parade 9:00, 11:00 Wishes? nighttime spectacular 10:00" I need to break the string up into pieces where as $string[1] = "Share A Dream Come True Parade 3:00" $string[2] = "SpectroMagic Parade 9:00, 11:00" $string[3] = "Wishes? nighttime spectacular 10:00" Granted this is pretty easy because I could just search for this stuff and break it up, but the string above can actually be different each time, for instance, next time it could be: $textString = "Share A Dream Come True Parade 3:00, 5:00 SpectroMagic Parade 9:00, 11:00 Wishes? nighttime spectacular 10:00" I think my main issue is that I don't know how to keep the , XX:XX part combined with the previous part of the string. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Brent

[PHP] strip out wierd characters in a string
Hi Guys,
I think that a string that I'm grabbing from a website was actually created using
ms-word. If I echo the string out, it has a question mark in it.
If you look at the website, the text is fine
ie"string some more text"
but when I grab it from the website, and then echo the string, I get.
"string? some more text"
I have tried doing this
echo str_replace("?", " ", $text);
but it still print's out the ?. I think it's because the string itself has a wierd
binary character in it or something.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Brent
Re: [PHP] strip out wierd characters in a string
Solved my own problem.
I ran the script itself from the unix prompt and forced it's output to a
text file
I then viewed the text file and saw the actual wierd character. I then used
strtr to replace the wierd character with a single space.
Pretty simple and clean way to fix this.

[PHP] How to add carriage returns??
Ok I have a general problem. I have a textarea on an html form. Well when the user get's to the end of the textarea, it wrap's around. The problem with this is that unless they do a carriage return, the text entered into the textarea is a very long line. So when ever they submit the form, the string in the textarea is just one long line without newlines or carriage returns. How do I add linefeeds every few words? Thanks, Brent

[PHP] Most used oop pattern to use for php application development?
Good Evening All, I know this will probably start a flame war, but I want to get everyone's opinion on which oop pattern is either the accepted pattern or most used pattern for php application. I'm pretty partial to MVC but it has it's benefits and drawbacks. What does everyone else use? Hopefully my question will start some meaningful conversation. Unless of course I'm asking a redundant question and this has already been answered. Excuse my redundancy if it has. Have a great night everyone! Brent
[PHP] Rotating image using imagerotate creates large black area on image
Hi Guys, I am working on some images and I am having some problems with image rotate. I am using imagerotate($im, "-90", 0); but when I display the image, the first 1/4 of the image has a large black splotch from left/top to right/bottom Help!! It's causing me fits. Thanks, Brent
Re: [PHP] Re: Rotating image using imagerotate creates large black area on image
I have also tried that and it still doesn't work. Turns out that since I was using two image rotates, it was causing the image to get those black splotches. This is the application flows. Rotate image to write text 90 CW Write text Rotate image back to original position 90CCW This was causing the black splotches. I fixed the problem by loading the image into photoshop, rotating it 90CW, saving and then only doing the last rotate. It worked great.

I have a "project.class" file that has functions for dealing with individual projects because you break down ideas into singular entities in OOP(as I understand it) But what if I wanted to deal with multiple projects such as getting a list of the projects in my database, should I create a function in the "project.class" to handle the now plural request, or should I create a "projects.class" file that has a function called "getProjects". Hopefully I'm explaining this question right. It makes sense in my own head. :-) Thanks, Brent
Re: [PHP] Re: Silly OOP question
Daniel,
Thanks for the insight, this is what I had thought. I just wanted to get a
peer's validation of my thought process.
You hit what I thought was right, right on the head.

[PHP] How do I get referer in php?
Let's say I have a page at another site that links to a php script on my server. Is there anyway to get the referrer to the php script using php? Thanks, Brent
[PHP] What should I name my base class?
I know this probably doesn't matter, but what is the pretty standard naming convention for base class names? Should I name it "base.class", "main.class", or the name of my application, "application.class"? What does everyone else use? If I went by the pear standards, they use a base class name of "pear.php" so I probably would go with "application.class" or "application.php" Thanks, Brent
[PHP] Question regarding constructors and child classes
If I have the following: Is there any way to run both the parent and child constructor? The reason I'm asking this is because in my parent class, the constructor creates the database connection, in the child constructor it set's up all variables for the child class. If I recall, I can do a "parent::constructorname()", is there a way to call the parent's constructor more cleanly, to me , stylewise, it looks funny to have parent::foo(). How would I do this? -Brent

[PHP] echo string with question mark in it
I have the following string variable $string = 'test.php?id=' . $id; but when I echo out the string it looks like this test.php? id=# ### is the $id variable value btw. How do I make the ? part of the string instead of php evaluating that question mark? I've tried adding \ before the ? but it doesn't work. Thanks, Brent
Re: [PHP] Spawning new pages
This is simple. echo ""; echo ""; echo "Hello World"; echo ""; echo ""; There are many ways to do what you want to do.

[PHP] How do I underline a string using php and fonts?
I have always wondered this and maybe you guys can help. How do I underline a bit of text using True Type Fonts? Right now, I am creating imagelines but I don't think that's the most efficient way of doing it. Anybody know how to do "underlines" but using the font itself?

[PHP] Question about dates
How does one over come the issue of unix time not going beyond a certain date?
ie, when I do echo strtotime("2099-10-08"); it outputs -1
This has to do with the limitations of unix time, so how does one get around it?
Thanks,
Brent

[PHP] XML File validation using PHP????
We are running PHP 4.3.2
Is there a class out there that can validate an xml file against a schema?
I know in PHP 5+ that the dom package includes simple validation
function, but until we upgrade, that's not an option.
Can anybody point me in the write direction?
I want something simple to where I can:
xmlfile('/foolocation/foo.xml');
$xmlvalidator->schemafile('/foolocation/foo.xsd');
echo $xmlvalidator->validate();
?>
If there is someting out there similiar that'd be great, if not can
someone please explain to me the basics of validating xml against a
schema file?
Thanks,
Brent

[PHP] How do I start at a specific position in an array? Is there a function?
I know this is a simple question because I could easily write a loop to move to the specific position in the array, but I want to know is there a function to move the array pointer position to a specific position in the array?

[PHP] Help please!!
Having a very frustrating problem and I can't seem to figure out why it's happening. 1. As of last week, all of our applications have started to work intermittingly. The codebase has not changed. 2. Sometimes the application will display, sometimes it won't. The browsers "loading progress bar" will move for about 25% then just stop. No timeout or 401 errors occur. 3. There are no errors message in any of the logs files. To test if it's our application we have done the following in our main php file which runs the rest of the application "; --Segment of our code is here-- echo "Step 1 "; --Segment of our code is here-- echo "Step 2 "; ?> Sometimes it doesn't even get to the first line of php code which is the first echo statement, sometimes it gets to step 0 and step 1 and sometimes it gets to all steps. The code between each of these steps is nothing major, nothing calls mysql or anything like that. It's mainly just variable initialization. Again, the entire application runs fine every couple of refreshes. Then sometimes it'll just stop completely. I have turned on all sorts of debugging and nothing. I have reinstalled apache, mysql, and php 2 times. We have also optimize both apache and mysql for for than enough client connections as well are using persistant db connections. But like I said, the application works sometimes, sometimes it doesn't. And the data is pretty static. I am running RHEL 3 U3 with RH php version php-4.3.2-19.ent, RH mysql server version mysql-server-3.23.58-2.3, and RH apache version httpd-2.0.46-44.ent Thanks guys for any help troubleshooting this. -Brent -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
