[PHP] IE corrupts JPEG at HTML upload, imagecreatefromjpeg() doesn't work after upload
Hi there, I am experiencing a strange problem with IE 5.0 while uploading a JPEG file. Somehow IE changes/corrupts the file so that imagecreatefromjpeg() doesn't work after the upload and triggers an error. If I upload the picture with Opera 7.22 or Mozilla everything is fine. Client is Windows (98SE, 2000) and server is Linux/Apache 1.3. Any help appreciated! Big thanks in advance!

Hi Rob,
maybe you can use the ternary operator syntax for the affected lines:
echo (conditional) ? 'lines of JavaScript'
: 'other lines of JavaScript';

To use array values within double quotes you have to put curly braces around
them:
$MembersDataQry = "SELECT * FROM MembersData WHERE
UserID='{$_SESSION['logname']}'";
Or concatenate the string:
$MembersDataQry = "SELECT * FROM MembersData WHERE UserID='" .
$_SESSION['logname'] . "'";
Remember to apply mysql_real_escape_string() on any values used within a
query.

Hi,
if you use the input type 'image' you have to check for name_x or name_y, so
in your case:
$_POST['submit'] = isset($_POST['submit']) ? $_POST['submit_x'] : '';
Whenever you have problems like this do a print_r($_POST) at the top of the
second page. This will show you all submitted values.

Hi Angelo,
where's your session_start()? Also you can use isset() instead of
session_is_registered():
if (isset($_SESSION['login']))

Hi Angelo,
your code looks right but you should see the session id in the address bar
after the redirect. Does echo SID produce any output?
By the way, I don't think you need to call session_write_close().

Hi, setup your array starting with the highest values: $array = array(200, 200, 100, 50, 30); Then use array_count_values($array). This will give you an associative array where the key is the former value and the value is the number of the occurrences. In your case this would be: array(200 => 2, 100 => 1, 50 => 1, 30 => 1); Then loop through the array with foreach() and check each element for the value 1. When you have found the first array element with a value of 1 exit from the loop with break. Hope this works for you.

I guess your loop should look like this:
while ($registo = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
echo '' . $registo[1] . '';
}
You can use mysql_fetch_assoc() and then access the values by their column
name:
$registo['column1'], $registo['column2'] etc.

If you cannot edit your php.ini put this line at the top of all your

ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 7200);
You can also set this environment variable with a .htaccess file. Search the

Hi,
remove the global $_SESSION; lines in your functions - they are uneccessary.
Have you tried resetting $_SESSION instead of unset()?:
$_SESSION = array();

Hi Kevin,
with PHP4 &$db means the value is passed by reference. Otherwise a copy of
$db would be passed to the method. See here:
http://de2.php.net/references
With PHP5 variable assignments or passing variables to functions by
reference is standard.
$this->db is the PHP equal to this.varName. You access property db of the
current object. Methods are called this way:
$this->methodName()
Hope this clears things up a bit.

Hi Francisco,
just point the form action to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. Then check the POST
value of the relevant dropdown and do your queries. For example:
// the value of your selects will probably be ids that's why you should cast
them to integers
if (isset($_POST['select1'])) {
$select1 = (int) $_POST['select1'];
// do your query for select2
}
if (isset($_POST['select2'])) {
$select2 = (int) $_POST['select2'];
// do your query for select3
}
if (isset($_POST['select3'])) {
$select3 = (int) $_POST['select3'];
// do your query for select3
}
if (isset($_POST['select4'])) {
$select4 = (int) $_POST['select4'];
// insert your data
}
I hope you get my point. For user convenience you could use JavaScript's
onChange() event to auto-submit the first three selects when the user has
selected a value.
Best regards, Torsten Roehr

As you should have a fixed parameter order in your function you don't need
to pass the variable names in. So this is OK for up to three or four params:
doStuff('value1', 'value2', 'value3', 'value4');
If your function takes more than four parameters an associative array would
be the way to go (your first example). You might consider splitting it up
into several functions if it takes that many arguments.

I guess you'll first have to delete all files in the directory. Try this
function:
/**
* Recursively clear a local directory
*
* @param string $sourceDirdirectory to delete
* @param integer $leveldirectory level (to avoid deleting the
root dir)
*/
function clearDirectory($sourceDir, $level = 0)
{
// proceed if source directory exists
if (is_dir($sourceDir))
{
// read dir contents
if ($handle = opendir($sourceDir))
{
/* This is the correct way to loop over the
directory. */
while(false !== ($dirItem = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($dirItem != '.' && $dirItem !=
'..')
{
// directory
if (is_dir($sourceDir . '/'
. $dirItem))
{
clearDirectory($sourceDir . '/' . $dirItem, $level + 1);
}
// file
elseif (file_exists($sourceDir
. '/' . $dirItem))
{
unlink($sourceDir .
'/' . $dirItem);
}
}
}
// remove directory if it's not the root one
if ($level > 0)
{
rmdir($sourceDir);
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
}
It will delete all direcotries and files *inside* the specified directory.
So the directory itself will not be deleted.
Just call it like this (without trailing shlash!!!):
clearDirectory('/path/to/directory');
Hope it works for you.

This might make sense when you have a protected area on your web site.
Having the session run all the time would allow the user to naviagte the
whole site *after* login without losing his authentication. When he is
logged in, just store some kind of value or object in the session. On the
protected pages check for this value. If it's not in the session redirect to
a login page.
>
> B/ If a user goes from unlogged in, unidentified user to a logged in,

You can control this yourself - usually you don't have to start a new
session after login. But applying session_regenerate_id() adds a bit of
security because it changes the session id (which might have been public
before login).
See:
http://de3.php.net/manual/en/function.session-regenerate-id.php
>
> C/ (The reverse), if a user goes from logged in, identified user to a
unlogged in, unidentified user, is the first session canceled and new

Use session_destroy() and redirect to the start/login page with a clean:
header('location: http://www.yoursite.com'); exit;
This will start a new session. You might also need to unset a cookie before
session_destroy() if you are using cookies.

Hi Dre,
Nick already answered your question so just a short note:
you should not use session_register() with your PHP version anymore, so just
delete the first of the upper two lines.
Excerpt from the manual:
>>>
Caution
If you are using $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS), do not use
session_register(), session_is_registered(), and session_unregister().

I guess you'll first have to delete all files in the directory. Try this
function:
/**
* Recursively clear a local directory
*
* @param string $sourceDirdirectory to delete
* @param integer $leveldirectory level (to avoid deleting the
root dir)
*/
function clearDirectory($sourceDir, $level = 0)
{
// proceed if source directory exists
if (is_dir($sourceDir))
{
// read dir contents
if ($handle = opendir($sourceDir))
{
/* This is the correct way to loop over the
directory. */
while(false !== ($dirItem = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($dirItem != '.' && $dirItem !=
'..')
{
// directory
if (is_dir($sourceDir . '/'
. $dirItem))
{
clearDirectory($sourceDir . '/' . $dirItem, $level + 1);
}
// file
elseif (file_exists($sourceDir
. '/' . $dirItem))
{
unlink($sourceDir .
'/' . $dirItem);
}
}
}
// remove directory if it's not the root one
if ($level > 0)
{
rmdir($sourceDir);
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
}
It will delete all direcotries and files *inside* the specified directory.
So the directory itself will not be deleted.
Just call it like this (without trailing slash!!!):
clearDirectory('/path/to/directory'); // or on windows
clearDirectory('c:\path\to\directory');
Hope it works for you.

Hi Brent,
this is a case of variable scope:

There are different ways to solve your problem:
1. Declare $coreLists global in your method:
function Entry() {
global $coreLists;
$users = $coreLists->UserList();
}
2. Access it via the superglobal $GLOBALS:
function Entry() {
$users = $GLOBALS['coreLists']->UserList();
}
3. Pass the variable it to the class constructor and assign it to a class
property:
var $coreLists;
function Data($coreLists) {
$this->coreLists = $coreLists;
}

Load all customers and while looping through the result set load all orders
associated with the current customer:
// open db connection etc.
// load all customers
$result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM customers');
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
// output customer data if required

// load all associated orders
$tempResult = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM orders WHERE customerID = ' .
$row['customerID']);
while ($tempRow = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

Hi,
as your structure is always the same you could just loop through all
elements and subelements and use unset() to remove the unwanted array
elements:
foreach ($foo as $key => $value) {
foreach ($value as $subkey => $subvalue) {
// put your check logic here
if ($foo[$key][$subkey]['expires'] == '') {
unset($foo[$key][$subkey]);
}
}
}
What do you think?

Maybe it works if you put the expires value in a seperate array, sort it and
then you can get the key of the first one and use unset():
foreach ($foo as $key => $value) {
$tempArray = array();
foreach ($value as $subkey => $subvalue) {
// add expires value only to the temporary array for
sorting
$tempArray[$subkey] = $foo[$key][$subkey]['expires'];
}
// sort array by value descending
arsort($tempArray);
// get first (and therefore highest timestamp) key/value pair
$firstEntry = each($tempArray);
$notneededSubkey = $firstEntry['key'];
// now unset the array value with the not needed subkey
unset($foo[$key][$notneededSubkey]);
}
Have not tried it but may work. Hope you see my point.

OK, so it's just the other way round - I see. Instead of deleting the entry
with the highest expiry date we delete all the others:
foreach ($foo as $key => $value) {
$tempArray = array();
foreach ($value as $subkey => $subvalue) {
// add expires value only to the temporary array for
sorting
$tempArray[$subkey] = $foo[$key][$subkey]['expires'];
}
// sort array by value descending
arsort($tempArray);
/* new stuff starts here */
// remove the entry with the latest expiry (the first array
element)
array_push($tempArray);
// now unset all remaining/not needed entries
foreach ($tempArray as $tempKey => $tempValue) {
unset($foo[$key][$tempKey]);
}
}
By the way, isn't there a way to filter this stuff BEFORE or WHILE the whole
array is created?

"Dr. Zoidberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hello, > > What will be the best database structure for creating web site > navigation, menus with submenus (unlimited levels). I'd suggest 2 id columns: CREATE TABLE menu ( menuItemID int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, parentMenuItemID int(11) NOT NULL default '0', label varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (menuItemID), INDEX parentMenuItemID (parentMenuItemID) ) TYPE=myISAM; At the top level parentMenuItemID is 0, otherwise it's the value of its parent menuItem.

OK, though I've not needed this anywhere else in my classes yet. But another
suggestion. You can save a lot of code by generalizing/abstracting the
assignment of your DB result to the class attributes. I'm doing this:
class Base
{
/**
* Sets properties based on supplied SQL result array with associative
indices
*
* @param array $dbResult
*/
function initFromResultSet($dbResult = array())
{
// if a non-empty SQL result set is supplied
if (is_array($dbResult) && count($dbResult) > 0)
{
// get class properties as array
$classProperties =
array_keys(get_class_vars(get_class($this)));
// array keys become object properties with respective value
foreach ($dbResult as $key => $value)
{
// only set values for properties that exist in
the class
if (in_array($key, $classProperties))
{
$this->$key = $value;
}
}
}
}
}
Then my 'real' class inherits from Base and calls the initFromResultSet()
method:
class Person extends Base() {
function Person($personID) {
// if a valid personID is supplied, get data from DB
if (Validate::number($personID, array('min' => 1)))
{
// get person data from DB
$query= 'SELECT * FROM ' . TABLE_PERSONS . '
WHERE personID = ' . $personID;
$DB_result=& $db->query($query);
// if person with given ID exists, set attributes
if (is_a($DB_result, 'DB_result') &&
$DB_result->numRows() == 1)
{
$this->initFromResultSet($DB_result->fetchRow());
}
// else set error and show list again
else{
// handle error
}
}
}
}
Of course the DB result must be an associative array with the column names
being equal to your class attributes. This saves a lot of code and can be
used in any class.

Torsten
