I know very little about PHP ...  however, I am hoping that there is some
kind of preset " open source" php code that I might be able to use.

I can envision something like this:

- An 'include page' that might store an array of the list of pages such 
as:



start array...

pos1 = page1.htm
pos2 = page17.htm
pos3 = page5.htm
etc.

stop array...

- then  a variable could be set for the current page such as:


thispage = 2  - Place on the array equals position 2 (page17.htm)


then the next button would  add 1 to the current place on the array- 
(pos3)



-  and the previous button would be minus 1 place on the array - (pos1)

... that type of thing

Q:  Is there any "open source" code template that I can check out like 
this?

There are several ways to do this, but here's one way:

<< Previous\n";
}

if($i != (count($page) - 1)) {
   echo "Next >>\n";
}

include('page'.$i.'.htm');
?>

Totally would work for his purposes but let's clean it up a bit for a 
beginner.


$page = array('page1.htm','page17.htm','page5.htm'); // array of the pages 
you have


if(isset($_GET['page_num'])) // a current page number has been set in the 
url

{
$i = $_GET['page_num'];  // set variable i to the current page number
   if($i  != (count($i)-1))  // if the current page number isnt the last 
entry in the array display next

   echo "Next >>\n";
   if($i != 0)  // if the current page isn't the first page display 
previous

   echo "<< Previous\n";
}
include('page'.$i.'.htm');  // show the current page you're at
?>

[PHP] Re: Extract specific div element from page

Or you could just use Javascript combined with PHP, just use javascript it's 
something like this document.getElementById('tagId').innerHtml that will 
give you the html(contents) of the  tag you specify.  Then just do 
something like document.form.value = 
document.getElementById('tagId').innerHtml.  Basicly you're setting a hidden 
form element to have the value of the div, then when you submit the page, 
you have the content as $_POST['formYouSetTo'].  You could have the JS 
execute on the submit button's onclick.


It should be relatively easy if you look up the exact syntax of the 
javascript.

Re: [PHP] Calling Pascal code/functions from PHP

Right now the program isn't a dll it's a desktop application written in 
Delphi, but when I take the visual components out it will be Pascal, so I 
could compile it ot a dll.  I want to emulate the same functionality the 
desktop application had, thus when the user uploads a file, the Pascal call 
would parse then create an object of the data, that I could later access 
when the user specifies a computation to do on the data.  So it sort of 
needs to run in the background be always on, etc.  I need to be able to call 
individual functions, get repsonses, etc.

Or, I don't know if it's possible, you might be able to compile the

Re: [PHP] Calling an executable for processing some data sent from PHP

Thanks for your help.  Since it's a Delphi program and Delphi has the 
ability to build ISAPI applications I'm going to try and see if I can't turn 
my app into an ISAPI and run that since it has all the functionality I need 
and it'll run fast.  But if that doesn't work out I'll try the solutions 
suggested.  Yes daemonizing it would probably work too.

When the user "opens" a file, it's uploaded to a folder where PHP can 
access
it, then PHP would call the Pascal program which would parse the file, 
and
create a new object for that data, which later functions would access and 
do

computation on.  Like a user woud click Compute Subsets and that would
somehow trigger the function Compute_Subsets on that object.  Any way I
could do something like this?

My ugly way to do it would be to do an exec() to call an executable to 
parse

the file and make an object of it then run the function that I needed to
every time a function was called.  The code base for this would be 
horrible

to maintain and incredibly slow.

Is there some way I could keep the program open and give it further
arguments?

Daniel:

Bzzzet, thanks for trying.

Let me explain again, maybe I did explain myself well.

In the show-code folder (link below) is a php file entitled "a.php". 
Inside that file are password and user ID variables. They don't mean 
anything, nor do they do anything, but they are there.


Now, I did say that you have all the tools you need at the site to 
discover what these values are. Can you do it?


Again, here's the link:

Re: [PHP] generating an html intro text ...


At 11:39 AM +0200 6/14/07, Jochem Maas wrote:

original string:

	"HELLO, my name is charlie brown! & I'm a 
little odd.";


shorten text (32 'letters' required):

"My name is charlie brown! & I'm ";

the 32 'letter' length should therefore ignore the B and I tags and 
treat the & as
a single letter ... additionally when truncation occurs with a set 
of html tags the

resulting string should have all the open html tags properly closed.

this is not as simple as it may first seem, I could probably do it 
but I foresee it taking
quite some time (which I don't have ... let's all sing 'deadline' 
together shall we ;-)),
in the past I have attempted such a routine but always ended up 
doing something much simpler

(using strip_tags(), etc) due to time constraints.



The problem as I see it is covering all the possibilities that may 
occur even if the text is well formed. Like what if someone 
introduces a span that sets a color for a paragraph, such as:


Dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat ut wisi 
enim ad minim veniam quis nostrud. Consectetuer adipiscing elit sed 
diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet exerci tation 
ullamcorper suscipit lobortis! Decima eodem modo typi qui nunc 
nobis videntur parum clari fiant sollemnes in.


And the  tag as well as the  tag is outside the 256 limit?

You would have to search out and pull in all closing tags.

So, I guess an algorithm could be:

First, grab 256 characters -- The string. If The string is shorter, then quit.

Second, determine what tags are not closed.

Third, create closing tags and add them to the end of The string (in 
proper order).


Fourth, then remove the same number of non-html characters from the 
end of The string.


OR, just strip out the html tags (strip_tags) and go with straight 
text -- a lot easier.

tedd

   Sounds like it was the decimal (three-bit, incorrect) versus octal
(four bit, correct) chmod(); value after all.  Boo-yaa and stuff.

   Thanks for posting it.  I don't know about ya'all, but I hate when
I search the web, find people with the exact problem I'm having, and
there's no solutions posted.  It seems to happen any time I search for
the resolution to a problem I just can't figure out.

   Stut's right.  You should change:
   echo "";
    to:
   echo "";

   He's also right about the dynamic resizing of images causing a
serious strain on the server.  Each time it has to do that, it uses up
a significant amount of resources for a seemingly quick and small
operation.  Multiply that by n number of simultaneous accesses and you
can see the exponential - and potentially devastating - "pitfallic"
results.

Compile the pascal code as an executable, and call it with exec/system/...
Or, I don't know if it's possible, you might be able to compile the

   If you can run the executable as a server, you could daemonize it
&1',$ret); ?>

    and then connect to it using sockets but I'm not
completely certain that I'm understanding your needs properly.

[PHP] Calling Pascal code/functions from PHP

Why don't you google for 'php pagination' ??

http://www.google.com/search?&q=php%20pagination

only 1.2 millions results to look through.

I'm sure that you can add words to that search phrase to narrow the search

also, try searching the archives, I just wrote a posted a link to a nice example on how to do
pagination.

here is the link to the source.

for highlighting purpose only.
http://www.cmsws.com/examples/php/pagination/example1.php

source is available here.
http://www.cmsws.com/examples/php/pagination/example1.phps

It mainly deals with pagination based off information retrieved from a DB.

But, it could be adopted to work with arrays also.

OK, your problem here is the single quotes in the img src around $img_url.

However, I question what you are actually doing. Is the image on the 
same machine as this script? If so you should be using a filename not 
the URL. Also, are you sure you're really saving anything by resizing 
the image on your server like this? You should consider generating the 
smaller version using a cron job and linking to it directly. Resizing 
images on the fly is one of the quickest ways to destroy the scalability 
of a website.

You are sending a complete URL to your image, not a path. This means
that if your installation of PHP does NOT have the ability to open
files from URLs (allow_url_fopen) then it won't be able to open the
image from the location you gave it.

If you want to load in images from other web sites then make sure
allow_url_fopen is enabled in PHP. If you don't want to do this, then
don't pass in a URL, pass in the *path* to the image instead.

   Yeah, the first parameter of each function, where you call the
executable directly, just has to include the parameters you want to
pass to the binary.

   For example, if you wanted to do the following:
   netstat -pnt
   ls -al|grep -i php
   mv file1.php backups/file2.php

   You would (respectively) simply do the following:
   exec('netstat -pnt',$ret);
   exec('ls -al|grep -i php',$ret);
   exec('mv file1.php backups/file2.php',$ret);

   Then just eval $ret to see if it was successful (0) or not (1).

   If you wanted to allow a user to specify parameters, it would be
done like so:

[PHP]
   L> File: form.php
   exec('/path/to/pascal-binary 
'.escapeshellarg($_POST['parameters']),$ret);

   $ret == 0 ? "Success!" : "Failure!";
   exit;
}
?>

   Parameters:

There is the Pear pagination package which can do this, although not
quite in the way you want it done in your example. Search pear.php.net
for it if you want.

Can I take it from this example that your pages should not be in
sequence then? I.e. instead of going page1, page2, page3, instead they
should go page1, page17, page5, etc?

If so, why? :)

thispage = 2  - Place on the array equals position 2 (page17.htm)


then the next button would  add 1 to the current place on the array- (pos3)


-  and the previous button would be minus 1 place on the array - (pos1)

... that type of thing

Q:  Is there any "open source" code template that I can check out like this?

   Yeah, the first parameter of each function, where you call the
executable directly, just has to include the parameters you want to
pass to the binary.

   For example, if you wanted to do the following:
   netstat -pnt
   ls -al|grep -i php
   mv file1.php backups/file2.php

   You would (respectively) simply do the following:
   exec('netstat -pnt',$ret);
   exec('ls -al|grep -i php',$ret);
   exec('mv file1.php backups/file2.php',$ret);

   Then just eval $ret to see if it was successful (0) or not (1).

   If you wanted to allow a user to specify parameters, it would be
done like so:

[PHP]
   L> File: form.php


   Parameters:

I need to learn more about arrays so I don't have to type out all of
my data! :P But first, I'll get it working and then I'll redo it.
It's a good exercise for me.

   Actually, this is output as $row['column_name'] from
mysql_fetch_array();, so if the row is `task_id`, the variable for
each row from the while() condition would be $row['task_id'];.
Otherwise, try this:

Currently when I try and pass the variable from viewall.php to
update.php by doing a  Click here!
I'm getting this error:

"[Fri Jun 15 16:10:10 2007] [error] PHP Notice:  Undefined index:
taskid in update.php on line 4"

and line 4 from the script looks like this:

$task_id = $_POST['taskid']; //Passed from the HTML-ized area of
cron.php

Am I just totally missing something and making a very stupid newbie
mistake? Or have I stumbled onto something that is at least mildly hard?

   It looks as though you're trying to use a variable as a query
string.  Change the link from:
   Click here
    to:
   Click here

    and then changing:
   $task_id = $_POST['taskid']; //Passed from the HTML-ized area
of cron.php
    to:
   $task_id = $_REQUEST['taskid']; // This now accepts POST and GET

browser is trying to display it as an image. Because it can't, it's 
displaying the default alt tag which is the URL (assuming you're using

Several years ago, having say 3000+ files in single directory on ext2 
would mean that a simple 'ls -al' takes several orders of magnitude 
longer to perform than on a directory with just several hundred files. As 
I haven't used ext2/3 for ages I don't know whether the same is still 
true today.

Not sure what point you're trying to make here, but, of the common 
filesystems for linux, ext2/3 is the absolute slowest (by far) when you 
have a large number of files in a directory.

Re: [PHP] OK to have many files in one folder?

2007-06-15 Thread Satyam

Since it depends on many factors, some out of your control, some others that 
might vary over the lifetime of the application, one thing you might do, to 
be on the safe side is try to put files in different directories, for 
example, by breaking up their filenames every three characters and making 
each segment a folder but no more than three levels deep so that the file 
./abcdefghijkl.jpg would be located at ./abc/def/ghijkl.jpg.  This breakup 
would allow even to mount extra disk volumes for some of the folders, should 
they exceed certain capacity or to split the risk.  Whether to break 
filenames every two, three or more characters might be a matter of 
optimization, but I would guess that around three (or four) for the first 
two segments and whatever is left for the filename would be a reasonable 
number.  I wouldn't go more than three levels deep either, because jumping 
from one directory level to the next also takes some time, thus it is a 
compromise in between searching sequentially in a directory for a filename 
(for those filesystems that do so) and going deep into the directory tree.

   If that directory is all on one single partition, God help you if
there's any corruption.  Check into RAID 0+1/RAID 5 disk striping if
you've got that many images.  And remember, the fact that they're all
in one directory doesn't matter at all to the system, as directories,
folders, et cetera, are just representations for human readability and
organization.  In fact, those files reside on several sectors
throughout the drive, and each file itself is probably fragmented many
times.

   Just for fun, though, if you want to crash your server, you  could 
always do:

   `while [ 1 = 1 ]; do ls -l;done`

As someone mentioned, directories are just a human convenience. Each
file will have an inode and is identified by an inode number in the file
system where it resides. Inodes store information on files such as user
and group ownership, access mode (read, write, execute permissions) and
type of file. There is a fixed number of inodes, which indicates the
maximum number of files each filesystem can hold. Hence, beware the
inode.

Yes, you will end up with AJAX code I think, or if you don't care to
load new page, you can simply click on a link and let PHP handle an
exec/system call.

   Brian,

   I stand behind my suggestion, though I also suggest you take
whatever everyone else says into consideration just as much as me.  I
have well over a decade of experience, but I'll be the first to admit
that sometimes a teenage computer geek is more correct than I am.

   Yes, list, believe it or not, I'm not always correct.  I'm just
going to let that sink in a little bit.

   Okay, now that everyone is done laughing at me (well, mostly
everyone), let's get on with it.

   I still think it's best to split the files across a RAID.  Ask
your datacenter to discuss the pros and cons of both RAID 0+1 and RAID
5 with you, and research it on the web.  It would be better to split
the files into different directories, as well, but *probably* is not
necessary.  Take that as you will.

   That said, one way of doing it that is very common is to create a
minimum of 36 directories, from 0 - 9 and a - z.  Each directory
should contain only files where the first character is the same as the
directory within which it resides.  However, if you have a specific
character that comes up much more frequently than others, or even all
the time, this won't work, of course.

   The point is, in my experience, holding even a terabyte of data in
smaller files within one directory is not a Bad Thing [tm], per se.
I've administered MySQL databases on servers that were in the
two-to-three terabyte range, and one of which had well over 3,000
separate tables.  Each of those tables is three separate files
(minimum) on disk, mind you: table.frm, table.MYD, table.MYI.  Also,
keep in mind that I didn't create the database structure, but was
instead hired to ensure that it ran smoothly.  In the four months and
n-million queries that were run on it while it was in use, the server
responded as if it were a standard 50MB database in under a dozen
files (if memory serves, it was a Dual Xeon 2.6GHz with 4GB RAM) and
only used for MySQL).  After the project was completed, however, we
did upgrade the systems to a distributed network for further
expansion, but I think you get the point there.

   Bottom line, however, is that just because you're not experiencing
problems now doesn't mean you won't soon in the future.  Seriously
consider, with that many separate files and that much data, how much
it's worth to you in the long run, and if a RAID setup and
directory-splitting is a Good Thing [tm] for your situation.

I have no clue how big the files are, but you might want to store them
in a database. That can speed up things, but don't ask me how much ;)

[/snip]

As someone mentioned, directories are just a human convenience. Each
file will have an inode and is identified by an inode number in the file
system where it resides. Inodes store information on files such as user
and group ownership, access mode (read, write, execute permissions) and
type of file. There is a fixed number of inodes, which indicates the
maximum number of files each filesystem can hold. Hence, beware the
inode.

Actually it does matter depending on the filesystem you use. If you're
using ext2/ext3 then having several thousand files in a directory
seriously slows things down.

   Once again, this doesn't matter so much for per-directory (though
listing will take longer, as I think I mentioned) as it does the
filesystem mount.  The ext2/ext3 filesystems were made for these
reasons, especially with journaling like ReiserFS, XFS, et cetera
(which is a completely different bag of nuts).

   If that directory is all on one single partition, God help you if
there's any corruption.  Check into RAID 0+1/RAID 5 disk striping if
you've got that many images.  And remember, the fact that they're all
in one directory doesn't matter at all to the system, as directories,
folders, et cetera, are just representations for human readability and
organization.  In fact, those files reside on several sectors
throughout the drive, and each file itself is probably fragmented many

   Just for fun, though, if you want to crash your server, you  
could always do:

   Yes, but Symantec also has agreements with several anti-FLOSS
corporations, including Microsoft, to allow immediate deployment and
scalability with a variety of physical structures in major
metropolitan areas.  Unless you can create a network of open-source
architectural firms and materials plants, not to mention the CVS
construction company and GNU real estate agency, then I don't see how
you can compete with their ability to charge users $149.95 per license
to drop a system off the top of a building onto the pavement.

of course. include is totally different stuff, you can not give GET
parameters when including

what happens if you try to view display.image.php?img_url=something in
your browser? try it with a valid img_url value and an invalid one and
see if it throws any errors or anything

   You can't include a file with a query string attached.  However,
you /can/ do:

http://www.pr0nsite.com/gallery/big-boobs.jpg'; //
Your favorite!
   include('display_image.php');
?>

   However, it won't work if display_image.php expects $image_url to
specifically be passed as a $_GET[] variable --- which, on a
production site, it sure should, rather than accepting globals.

You can't parse GET parameters with include. Try this...

$_GET['img_url'] = $image_url;
include 'display_image.php';

Or better yet, make a simple HTML file with just an image tag.

   Try this.  It uses str_ireplace();, which - as of PHP 4.3.3 - can
accept arrays.  It will also replace parts of words, so if you have
shit, ShIt, BULLShIT, ShitFuckCocksuckerPissbag, et cetera (this is
fun!), it will replace the offending part of the words with asterisks.
HOWEVER, keep in mind that legitimate words such as pass, cockroach,
peacock, or saltwater will also be filtered, so you may want to make
some adjustments or concessions.  As Richard always says, "your
mileage may vary."

[PHP] Re: GD Library and outputing image

2007-06-15 Thread zerof


Ross escreveu:


$image = imagecreatefromjpeg($img_url);


$image in this case, is the Image Identifier, and returns something like 
, Resource id #NUMBER ( Resourse id allocation process, for the generic 
imagecreate... ).



if ($image === false) { die ('Unable to open image'); }

// Get original width and height
echo $width = imagesx($image);
echo $height = imagesy($image);

// New width and height
$new_width = 200;
$new_height = 150;

// Resample
$image_resized = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);


$image_resized is another Image Identifier


imagecopyresampled($image_resized, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, 
$new_height, $width, $height);


The imagecopyressampled() returns a boolean value [ TRUE(1) or FALSE(0)].
This value can be used to test the function success.

A) If you haven't no problem with readers, you must use:

> // Display resized image
> header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
> imagejpeg($image_resized);
imagedestroy($image);
imagedestroy($image_resized);

So, in this case you have 2 Image Identifiers, to be destroyd at the 
end, to freely the processes.


imagedestroy($image);
imagedestroy($image_resized);

B) However, if you have problems with header, you must use:

imagejpeg ($image_resized,  "image.jpg");
echo '';
imagedestroy($image);
imagedestroy($image_resized);

instead of
>
> // Display resized image
> header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
> imagejpeg($image_resized);
imagedestroy($image);
imagedestroy($image_resized);


die();

This is not allowed here.

If you are receiving mail from one of the mailing lists, there should be
absolutely no reason that you would be unable to unsubscribe yourself from
the list, except for your ability to follow the directions at
http://www.php.net/unsub.php . However, if you find yourself unable to
unsubscribe from the mailing list, send an email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Make sure to include the complete headers from
one of the messages you have received from the mailing list. Keep in mind
that there's a human being at the other end of that last email address, so
you'll have to be patient.
