Re: [PHP] Displaying information from table graphically]
Excellent, it's good to know that. I think someone earlier in the discussion mentioned that DIV's were supported from IE7. He probabily meant fully supported, I am not absolutely sure but anyway it's good to know there are other experiences with IE as well. How about IE5? Does anyone have any experience on how IE5 handles DIV's?

Ash www.ashleysheridan.co.uk IE 5 and IE5.5 handle div's the same way that IE6 does, albeit badly. One caveat that you may run into though, IE doesn't like the minimum height of a div to be smaller than the font size, so if you make sure yu set your font sizes for those graph divs to something like 1px, you should be OK.

[PHP] issue with php.ini
Hi, i've reinstalled PHP 5.2.6 on my windows XP x64 and as usual i uncomment the following lines: extension=php_mysql.dll extension=php_pdo.dll extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll extension=php_pgsql.dll extension=php_sqlite.dll extension=php_dbg.dll-5.2.x after restaring the whole server apache+postgresql + php, i run a simple phpinfo() and i see nowhere anything about postgresql module or PDO. phpinfo show that it runs based on the php.ini from D:\webserver\php folder and not from c:\windows. which is correct as my php.ini is the the D:\webserver\php folder. so where could be the problem ? thx. -- Alain Windows XP x64 SP2 PostgreSQL 8.3.5 / MS SQL server 2005 Apache 2.2.10 PHP 5.2.6 C# 2005-2008

RE: [PHP] Open Project
Evening All, I'm feeling the need to either start or contribute to something opensource and in PHP. Anybody have any worthy causes or projects they'd like to collab on to get off the ground; open to all options preference going to anything framework, orm, webservice or basically anything without an html front end :) Regards, Nathan Hi Nathan, I am about to launch my own framework called Fred the Framework. Designed to be easy going, it is suppose to be ready to use out of the box, with very little config and a usable user management system - unlike Zend's Auth and ACL. Except, I need someone to develop the Authentication part of it. I've put it on Sourceforge the other day, but I've never developed anything like this before. I'm going to put up a sample app soonish - take a look at the svn if you want. Alex had a look through; it is early day's isn't it! 3 questions: - what do you all want to have in the framework (rough feature set) - why build it? / what do you want to offer that other's don't Fred will offer friendly URLs out of the box. Support for Smarty is a given, along with ADOdb and PHPMailer. The major feature I want implemented is a decent user management system that is simple for developers to use and secure enough for consumers to believe in. Nothing else provides this. - what version of php are you developing in and min support (ie 5.2+ Starting with the current version of PHP5 and branch off to 6 as the developers at a later date see fit.

[PHP] Re: IMagick confusion - SOLVED but still confused
After messing with this for 2 days I finally got
?php
$picture = $_GET['PICTURE'];
/* need to get filetype from querystring picture= */
header('Content-type: image/jpg');
$image = new IMagick($picture);
$exifArray = $image-getImageProperties(exif:*);
$orientation = $exifArray['exif:Orientation'];
switch($orientation)
{
case imagick::ORIENTATION_TOPLEFT: // this is normal

case imagick::ORIENTATION_RIGHTBOTTOM:
break;
case imagick::ORIENTATION_LEFTBOTTOM:
$image-rotateImage(tan, -90);
break;
case imagick::ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED:
default:
break;
}
echo $image;
?
to return an upright picture in response to
img class=framed src=Picture.php?PICTURE=some.jpg border=0
I'm not sure why
$orientation = $image-getImageProperty(exif:Orientation);
would not work with everything else the same.

Re: [PHP] Displaying information from table graphically]
I absolutely agree. This type of scenario is exactly what they had in mind when they decided to develop Flex technology. And I have no time to experiment or take risk. I did some aditional reading on Flex in the mean time, and I found out that it is fully integratable with existing PHP web application (and other technologies as well such as JSP's, ColdFusion, and ASP's). It's just gonna serve as add-on, and make my application transition from web 1 to web 2 standard. The only catch is that Flex Builder (plug in for Eclipse) has a commercial licence, and Adobe sells it for 250 Euros for standard version (professional is about 600) Robert Cummings wrote: Maybe I missed soemthing... what was wrong with Stut's suggestion of using divs?

The extension is part of the filename, so you could have all of the
following files in the same directory:
image.jpg
Image.jpg
IMAGE.jpg
IMAGE.JPG
It's just because Unix-based filesystems allow many more characters to
be used as part of the filename, and thus, as upper and lowercase
characters are different characters with different ascii codes, it
treats them as unique.

Let me attack this in a different way. This started because my camera names files whatever.JPG and my thumbnail generator generates thumbnail files whatever.jpg.

I was attempting to avoid the overhead of generating thumbnails on the fly as I construct a page of thumbnails related to a specific event or subject because I don't know how many thumbnails may be rendered. The subject on which I encountered this problem (for the second time this week) has something in the order of 250 pictures (in several different directories). What I'd really like to be able to do is to detect, programmatically, FOR SURE and FOR CERTAIN, that a specific file exists BEFORE I generate the anchor tag that contains the thumbnail ... given that every image file has a thumbnail file in a different directory than the image file. I need to try the file identifier from which the thumbnail file identifier was derived and, that failing, try changing the extension. If I can't find it I don't want to put up the thumbnail.

It's just gonna serve as add-on, and make my application transition from web 1 to web 2 standard. The only catch is that Flex Builder (plug in for Eclipse) has a commercial licence, and Adobe sells it for 250 Euros for standard version (professional is about 600) now adobe have done an interesting thing, the flex 3 builder trial is fully functional for 60 days, giving yuo more than enough time to get on and learn it + make some app's with it, thus letting you use the software to generate the revenue to pay for it.

Anybody have any worthy causes or projects they'd like to collab on to get off the ground; open to all options preference going to anything framework, orm, webservice or basically anything without an html front end :) Afternoon, I've had a look through the two frameworks that Alex and Craige have sent through, done a lot of thinking and came to a decision, well more of an idea. I'd be interested in thoughts / comments. What: A light generic framework for php developers, built API style with a public interface (web service) and a private interface (PHP 5 classes). =Base=: 3rd Party WS Integrations: Amazon AWS and S3 services, Yahoo's API's, OpenCalais, Google API's (more..?) Additional Product Integrations: Apache SOLR, ARC2 (for rdf and sparql support?), Doctrine (ORM)? Templating: Smart, other or custom. DB: PDO/Doctrine + contrib to doctrine project as well (or fork?)

XML: Generic XML Parser using DOM API Object to XML and XML to Object support, aim to add __toXML() for all classes. Specific XML Parsers, XHTML, RSS, ATOM, SOAP, RDF, XML-RPC (maybe XMPP) Specific XML Writers (same as above) Helpers: Some things like a Arrays, HashMaps, Tree class, filesystem negotiation, verification for common data types (emails and the like) Primitive types maybe byte, int, real, string classes too?) - Dates and thoughts on an Arbitary Precision Class as well for the hell of it? Internals: Framework structure and design pattern(s), Generic Object Class with id's etc, Generic Cache Class (unless in ORM layer), interfaces, Exception handler, logging, autoloader(s) etc. An additional I'd like in here is auto initiation via an initiator interface(s) and analysis on all framework classes via reflection to auto initiate classes upon framework load. [probably do all of the above in reverse order eh.. the framework core, all with private api's (eg classes)] Second Layer: (all with private and public api's) After the above a series of generic domain model/business object classes such as user, address, article etc etc built on top of the ORM stuff. tbd!

So far I see a lot of things that would be painful in my daily work if I were using such a thing. The reason everything is so complicated is because people really need complicated, varying things. Lots of projects need to be able to handle authentication or databases differently. I'd say that if you wanted something that is very straight forward, then perhaps you should use an existing framework that has all of the thousands of man hours invested already, but use something like the adapter pattern to make the api interfaces much easier. If you're always going to use one way of doing things, then perhaps just create your own class wrapper that works that exact way. I went down this road too. I developed my own set of tools back in php4 days since we couldn't use php5 at the time. I pulled what I thought were the best ideas at the time from a lot of various frameworks. It ended up okay, but there's a lot of problems. First off there's really not a lot of documentation. Open source frameworks usually have pretty good docs on usage of their code. Secondly, my code coverage is kinda poor because real work got in the way. I just don't have the time to invest into getting things in their best shape. Keeping motivation for such things is hard too. After working on code for 40 hours a week, do I really want to write more of it? Then finally, it's a one man show. There's no community for answering questions, adding features, etc. That is just my experience though. I think it has been a good learning experience for me though. I got to see the strengths and weaknesses of various code bases. Plus lots of different ways of doing the same thing.

[PHP] how can I make an email bounce
I need to make a bunch of emails bounce in different ways so I can check to see if my script to read a mail box full of bounced emails will work properly. Does any body know how I can do this. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] how can I make an email bounce
I guess you'd need to make the delivery fail. The easiest way to do this is probably fill up the email box. If you have control over the mail server, you could set the quota for that email box to zero. Most other failures are going to be the result of problems that may or may not be easy to replicate even if you control the server. Someone more intimately familiar with email servers might be able to give you some ideas, though. I admit ignorance on most of that. -TG - Original Message - From: Richard Kurth [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PHP General List php-general@lists.php.net Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2008 16:01:24 -0800 Subject: [PHP] how can I make an email bounce I need to make a bunch of emails bounce in different ways so I can check to see if my script to read a mail box full of bounced emails will work properly.
