[PHP] Looking for a high usage PHP host
Hi all I'm looking for a web host with the following requirments * PHP (would prefer version 4) with GD support - the most important thing is the version of GD must be 1.6 or lower because we have to work with GIF files on the fly * High data transfer - somewhere in the range of 20gig+ per month * Telnet access I've been looking for quite some time now and haven't had much luck - if anyone could help me out it'd be much appreciated!

[PHP] Old version of GD or a patch
Hi all Does anyone know where i can pick up an old version of GD? preferably V 1.5 - 1.6.2 . I'm planning to use it locally (i don't run a hosting service, i simply want to perform operations on GIF files for local use) and i'm based in Australia - from what i've read so far the problems with the GIF patent don't apply in Australia? I've also downloaded a version of php_gd.dll from this site http://php.weblogs.com/php_gd but when i use it tells me there's an error in the DLL Any help i can get will be much appreciated -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] ereg()
Hi all Say i had text similar to below Cairns Fine Mareeba Fine Innisfail Fine I'm using the following code to grab the weather forecast for each of those towns $GrabURL = forecast_map_data.txt; $GrabStart = PROVINCIAL CITY; $GrabEnd = UV ratings; $file = fopen($GrabURL, r); $rf = fread($file, 2); $grab = eregi($GrabStart(.*)$GrabEnd, $rf, $show); eregi(Cairns(.*)Mareeba, $show[1], $cairns); which works fine, but when i then try to grab the forecast for Mareeba using this eregi(Mareeba(.*)Innisfail, $show[1], $mareeba); nothing happens - i figure it's because i've already use Mareeba as a stop point. Can anyone recommend a function or a way to do this where i'll be able to use the same start or stop text more than once? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

G'day Guys Sorry, i should have explained it better. What i want to do is grab 2 different lots of text from the same page.

Re: [PHP] Web fetching script
G'day David, Niklas As usual i'm in way over my head so i'm going to be a real pain and ask for more help Niklas, unfortunately the start and stop points change constantly, i'm hoping to get around this by using the substr() function - luckily the format (in tables) stays the same My main objective is for the file to be read once only, by the time i'm finished i'll probably be grabbing 20-30 different areas of text/numbers from a file, and i'm paying for anything over 1gig downloaded from my account each month, so it could end up quite expensive. This is an example of the file i'm grabbing from http://www.arl.noaa.gov/data/ready/usr/897_profile.txt David, i couldn't get what you said to work - any chance of a quick example? :-) - Original Message - From: David Robley [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Ben Quinn [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 5:58 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Web fetching script On Mon, 27 Aug 2001 17:10, Ben Quinn wrote: G'day Guys Sorry, i should have explained it better.

[PHP] Importing a GIF image and making it transparent
Hi all I've been trying to make a script that imports a GIF image from an external server (i have permission to do this, see below) and designates a certain colour transparent for some time now and i'm not having much luck. Can anyone help or provide a script that does this? The images i'm using are Australian weather radar images with a rather plain brown background http://mirror.bom.gov.au/radar/IDR503.gif What i'd like to do is have an orographic map for the background, like this http://www.bsch.au.com/temp/preview.jpg The radar images are available to the public and i have permission to make these alterations Is it possible for PHP to download a GIF image (through HTTP), designate a certain colour transparent and then display the image on the screen without saving the image to the server?

Re: [PHP] Importing a GIF image and making it transparent
Thanks to those who replied, i finally worked it out - the script has been pasted below just incase anyone is sifting through the list archives looking for the same thing. One thing though, my server doesn't allow me to open a GIF file through HTTP - ie this doesn't work $image = ImageCreateFromGif(http://www.severname.com/image.gif); Does anyone know of a server/hosting company that will allow me to do this?
