I Assume you are uploading from Mac OS 9 or earlier, 'cause OS X is UNIX :) (Although OS X is able handle Windows, Mac OS 9 and UNIX line endings). Does a .txt file have a resource fork? File name extensions in Mac OS 9 have little meaning so I assume you mean a file with a file type of 'TEXT'. Text Files created with MS Word, for example, in fact do have a resource fork, but if uploaded in "raw" form, the resource fork is left behind and what is sent is just the text, or the contents of the data fork. Keep in mind that a file with a file extension of .txt could be any kind of file. Is the resource fork from the mac file automatically scraped by unix, or do I have to do that? The resource fork is not sent unless the file is BINHEXed i.e converted to a binary file with the resource fork and data fork munged together. The receiving end has to be able to decode this type of file, which is _not_ text. When your file is uploaded via HTML form, if it is text, perhaps in PHP you could look for \r or \n and make sure that the UNIX line ending is there - not sure which MacOS 9 uses. HTH somewhat. David Would it be efficient to strip the resource fork with PHP? Has anyone written anything to deal with this? If not, any resources to help me figure out how to do it would be appreciated. Thanks, loop - snip snip - I'm using a HTML form to submit flat text files to a MySQL database. When I upload the text file by FTP the script that loads it's contents into the database works as expected. When I upload using the HTML form it seems to ignore the new line in the text file.

Re: [PHP] Sorry, really stupid question...
Hi Phil:
It probably does what you are asking it to do. Have you checked the
value of $nickname to see if you are setting it to "bob" or appending
"bob" to it?
i.e first time $nickname = "phil"
second time $nickname = "philbob"

I have the nickname of "phil" and I add it to nicknames.txt as "phil"

Again, it is unclear to me what you mean by "based on how it appears in the textfile"? Is your text file broken into lines, and you want to create your image with the same line breaks? If so, there are a couple of examples in the comments for the imagettfbbox() and imagettftext() functions. I know the last comment contains an example that can do multiple lines (Brian at PrintsMadeEasy dot com) There's a link to the code and a working demo.

[PHP] creating files in OS X
Hi:
I'm new to PHP.
I'm running Apache/PHP/MySQL on Mac OS X 10.1.5 (PHP 4.1.2) and
everything is working well except that I cannot create a file through
PHP. If I create a file I can subsequently read/write from PHP, but only
after I change its file permissions to read/write for everyone.
When I run the code:
if (!file_exists($filename)) {
if (touch ($filename)) {
print "$filename created";
} else {
die( "Sorry Could Not create $filename");
}
}
I get the following:
Warning: unable to create file test.text because Permission denied in
/Library/WebServer/Documents/dev/testcreate.php on line 10
It's obviously a permissions problem but do not know what exactly to
change nor where/how to change it.
Thanks for any help.

add the [] brackets to
an input name, the javascript no longer functions. I'll look up a
javascript mailing list next,
but I figured there must be some other way to get php to recieve the
data and convert it
to an array.
If your checkboxes all have the same name i.e. group, then for php to
see them, you have to name them group[].
Then you can use something like this to get them out of the array:
if (count($group) > 0){
for($i=0; $i < count($group); $i++) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO groupImage VALUES ";
$sql .= "(0, '$imageID', '$group[$i]')";
mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
//echo "linked \"$imageName\" to groupID=".$group[$i]." in gi
table";
}
}
you might have to change the js.
If you are accessing form elements in js then you can use something
like:
forms.elements['group[]']
to access the js checkbox array by name.
Does anyone have an idea how I can make the php script gather all the
multiple
&browser=lynx&browser=mosaic&browser=explorer
instead of only the last entry?
AFAIK varName[] is the only way to go if you want the checkboxes in an
array.
I suppose you could just give a unique name to each checkbox.
I believe that PHP will have a value for those checkboxes that are
checked.
Then you could loop through your set of checkbox vars and see which
have a value.

Re: [PHP] is this not possible?
Hi Jeff: Brent Ashley has written some cool stuff to make asynchronous remote calls to server without client page refresh using javascript/iframe etc. There is a PHP version. Go to: http://www.ashleyit.com/rs/main.htm And click on the link: Javascript Remote Scripting (JSRS). It works for most browsers.

I've gotten a work around to call an image that's actually a php file, but run my script, and then return an image file. is this the only way? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
