[PHP] Handling Macintosh filenames in PHP
Greetings all, I'm currently in the middle of developing a rather large piece of software written in PHP. I'll spare you the details, but essentially it is a glorified FTP client. The goal here, of course, is to develop a client that will work on any platform. In theory, this SHOULD work, because PHP runs server-side, therefore eliminating any problems that would normally arise from differences between the various platforms. However, it occurred to me that there isn't really a way (that I know of) to directly address a specific filename on a Macintosh as there is in other operating systems. For example, in Windows I could type C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\BLAH.EXE or in Unix I could type /var/spool/mail/whatever ... but is there a way to do such a thing on a Mac? Can you directly address a file several levels deep in the filesystem without using the MacOS interface itself to do so? The project I'm doing relies on the ability to do just that, and it would appear that I've hit a bit of a snag. If anyone can offer any suggestions or advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

[PHP] using zip from php4
Hello all, I am attempting to write a script which will compress a group of files on my server into a zip file, and then set a password on the zip file. The code below is what I have come up with: Now, the problem is... the script finishes fine, and I get the "Zip file creation complete" message in my browser... but when I check /tmp, there is no test.zip file there. Any ideas as to why? Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

Re: [PHP] Why is this not working
the user that the webserver runs as (usually "apache" or "nobody") must have write
permissions to the file which htpasswd is attempting to write to, or else it won't be
able to make the changes you are attempting to make.

Re: [PHP] generating thumbnails
nahhh, if you're doing a lot of images on a page, doing a system call for each one would generate entirely too much overhead, imo. check out the built-in image manipulation functions in php. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php there is a function called ImageCopyResized() which is probably what you would need to use. i used to have a thumbnailer written in php but alas, it's been so long ago, that i forgot how i wrote it. :) ~shawn - Original Message - From: George E.
