[PHP] Re: php forum and (almost certainly 0T) client editor

[JB05UK]

Hello, I can answer your second question...

Frames can be used to achieve the effect of two seperate windows, one 
can refresh while the other stays as-is.


For a client editor...
Some javascript to add tags on the client side would be fairly simple to 
create, just create some custom tags for display to clients then when 
submitted use PHP's str_replace function to search for your custom tags 
then replace with some HTML before it hits the forums,

Hey guys (and girl...as we have one on the list...(that i know of)),

Can anybody recommend a real bare bones forum that i can modify
or
a tutorial for creating a forum
or
URLs/Classes etc to help me create a simple forum?

I checked on google but I couldnt find any tutorials or code, went to
hot-scripts and saw a   _c r a p l o a d_ of forums (for free and otherwise)
but I have a client who insists I build him a forum which must fall
_exactly_
to his specifications and work of our currently registered users database.

Worse scenario, I will dl a few of the forums from hotscrpts and go through
each of their code...but I would like to avoid that if anyone can give me a
better option.



2nd question
I will need a kind of "client editor" for when people write their messages
into the forum,
eg: make this bold and that italics and that centered and that with an image
and so on
I had actually seen a (dhtml, I think) form some time back where you could
preview your
message at the side as you made changes...somewhat like what google has for
their
ad-cents accounts where you can change the colors of your ad and immediatly
it shows the
changes at the side in a box.
I remember sometime back someone posting some WYSIWYG kind of editors which
loads
on the clients machine with just a textbox and the buttons to go bold,
italics,centered etc
unfortunatly looking into the archives i cant find it.

Thanks,
Ryan

 You need to insert these two lines to your Apache httpd.conf 
configuration file to set up the PHP module for Apache 2.0:


Example 6-6. PHP and Apache 2.0 as Module


# For PHP 5 do something like this:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/php"

Hi,

I sure hope someone here can help me.  I spent the entire day yesterday 
and most of the evening setting up a webserver on my Windows 2000 Pro 
system. 
I've got PHP 5.04, MySQL 4.1.12, ActivePerl 5.8.6, Java Runtime 
Environment, Tomcat 5.5.9, ZendOptimizer 2.5.10, MyODBC 3.5.11 and 
phpMyAdmin 2.6.2 all installed.


 From what I can tell, all is working well except PHP and phpMyAdmin.

I added PHP to my path like this:

C:\Perl\bin\;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\php;C:\Apache2\bin;C:\mysql\bin;C:\php\dlls;C:\Program 
Files\Common Files\Ulead Systems\MPEG;"C:\Program Files\Zone 
Labs\ZoneAlarm\MailFrontier"


I've got a copy of php.ini in both my c:/php directory and in 
c://winnt.  I've listed my user directory as c:/apache/apache2/htdocs 
and I've placed phpmyadmin in htdocs.


But when I try to view a php page I get an error or page cannot be 
displayed.  On a couple of occassions I viewed the raw php data in my 
browser.


Also, when I try to add a php extension using "LoadModule" in my 
httd.conf file I get an error loading Apache telling me that "the file 
cannot be found" (but I've verified it exists - like php5apache.dll and 
php5ts.dll).


Can someone please help me figure out where I'm screwing up at?

Thanks in advance!

Edited to say I'm getting Closer!!!

Now when I go to 
[url=http://localhost/phpmyadmin]http://localhost/phpmyadmin[/url] I get 
the following info:


cannot load mysqli extension;
please check PHP configuration
[u]Documentation[/u]

And the documentation says:
[b][1.20] I receive the error "cannot load MySQL extension, please check 
PHP Configuration". [/b]To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of 
MySQL functions called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of 
the PHP distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded 
dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin 
tried to load the extension but failed.


Usually, the problem is solved by installing a software package called 
"PHP-MySQL" or something similar.


I have tried using both mysql and mysqli in config.inc.php (phpmyadmin 
config file) and either way I get the same error message.  And in 
php.ini I have enabled the following extensions:


extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll

I think you've just done it right.

Zend is kind enough to inform you of all of these, which is a Good Thing.

Unless there is something inherently wrong with the versions mis-matching
I'm not aware of, you have nothing to fix. :-)

I could be sarky and suggest you un-install the ones you don't want :-)

[PHP] Re: headers and session (2)

[JB05UK]

Ahhh, for storing session passwords...if you really need to store a 
password in the session then try using md5, like so...


$psw = md5($_POST['txtPassword']);


Then to verify a users password just do the same and compare to the 
stored md5 value in your database.


But, its a very bad idea storing passwords in your sessions full stop if 
using a shared server.

I want to thank you all for previous helpings.

Really the first code was easy to be solved, but
this is how it shall work out. This is a program running
locally and the trouble is that session vars are stored
in local files. I must avoid to store a plain text password
therein, thus I need to crypt and save it into session.

When 2.php file just displays session data (it is test environemnt),
but the output is blank !

Suggest a different approach ?

Read the php man, it says to use the 'b' flag for binary files, infact

Anybody successfully using fopen with SFTP or anybody using

[PHP] Re: GD library images not displaying

[JB05UK]

Found this in the PHP manual,


To enable GD-support configure PHP --with-gd[=DIR], where DIR is the GD 
base install directory. To use the recommended bundled version of the GD 
library (which was first bundled in PHP 4.3.0), use the configure option 
--with-gd. GD library requires libpng and libjpeg to compile.


In Windows, you'll include the GD2 DLL php_gd2.dll as an extension in 
php.ini. The GD1 DLL php_gd.dll was removed in PHP 4.3.2. Also note that 
the preferred truecolor image functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor(), 
require GD2.






So, why not try upgrade your PHP version.

James

Hi,

I restarted Apache and didn't get an error, so assumed it was working.
When I run my example code:

imagepng ($im);

?>

I get the following error:

This code works on other servers, so where have I gone wrong in my installation 
of GD?

If I print the stuff back out to screen, it reads:
