What will your combobox contain/display? some data, could be yes, no, maybe, these 3 data should be in the dropdown box when the user click the arrow. I simply wanna generate the list I can create in OpenOffice calc by selecting data-validity-criteria and select list in allow then adding yes[enter]no[enter]maybe[enter] What are you going to generating your combobox with?

[PHP] exec() problem
Hi all, i've a problem using exec() on a Linux server with PHP 5.2.9 on Apache 2.2.13. Safe mode is OFF and Apache isn't chrooted. I would run /usr/lib/mailman/bin/find_member -l list email so i used exec(sudo run /usr/lib/mailman/bin/find_member -l list email,$output) and set /etc/sudoers with apache ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/mailman/bin/find_memberbut it doesn't work. I tried simple commands /bin/ls works, sudo -V work but sudo /bin/ls doesn't work. I get return code 1 and no messages in logs.. What is worng?

Re: [PHP] RIGHT Function?

You basic problem with the PHP_EOL is that when echo'ed out, it
represents a \n character.
The value you are working with might be \n\r or just \r
I read the links you sent, plus some others. It took me awhile, but
I get it now. If the return character that was entered into that
field is not the same as what PHP_EOL is looking for, it won't work.
$parts = preg_split('|[\n\r]+|', $item['unitprice']);
preg_split works perfectly! Very similar to Perl's split function.
Here's what I have now:
$parts = preg_split('|\s+|', $item['unitprice']);
$price = '$'.number_format((count($parts) 1) ?
$parts[(count($parts)-1)] : $parts[0],2);
Clean and concise. Thanks a million, Jim! I really appreciate your
helpful responses.
Thanks again,
Frank

[PHP] File To Blob Corruption
Hello,
I am trying to create an UPLOAD page to Update a Images and PDFs into
a BLOB field in mySQL. The image keeps getting corrupted (it draws a
portion of the image and the rest is GRAY) We tried it with Safari and
Firefox with bad results.
Here is the form that is used to browse and select the file.
!-- Upload Image dialog --
div id=uploadImage
div id=llback/div
centerdiv id=uploadForm
div id=uploadTitleUpload Thumbnail image/div
iframe name=saveImage/iframe
bPlease select the thumbnail image, then press Upload./b
div style=margin-top:14px;margin-bottom:14px;text-align:center;width:
100%
form target=saveImage method=post action=ajax/saveDialog.php
enctype=multipart/form-data
Select Thumbnail: input type=file name=img id=img accept=image/
jpeg //div
input type=hidden name=obj value=uploadImage /
input type=hidden name=id value=?php echo $Area_id ? /
input type=button value=Upload
onclick=saveDialog('uploadImage','img','jpg'); input type=button
value=Cancel onclick=cancelDialog('uploadImage','img')
/form
/div/center
/div
Here is the QUERY to upload the image (saveDialog.php):
if($_POST['obj'] == uploadImage) {
$file = $db-real_escape_string(file_get_contents($_FILES['img']
['tmp_name']));
$db-query(UPDATE Areas SET Image = '$file') or die(1.$db-error);
Has anyone else ever run into this type of UPDATE error with images
and PDF? We really need to get this dealt with ASAP.
Thanks!

Re: [PHP] File To Blob Corruption
Hi, Could it have something to do with an eof character being encoded or
something like that? Do you really need to store the files in the DB? It
uses more processing power if stored in the DB because on retrieval, you
have to unescape the string and return it. Modern filesystems are optimised
better for files than databases and storing a filename and returning the
contents is easier to implement than retrieving it from the DB...

Re: [PHP] uniqid() and repetition of numbers generated
2009/11/14 tedd tedd.sperl...@gmail.com A Interesting thought. My idea on this is to use the approach used when replicating a DB. It is similar to the namespace idea if not the same: Say you have 3 databases, you could use mod 3 numbers for A=0, B=1 and C=2 So on A you would have 0, 3, 6, 9, ... on B 1, 4, 7, 10, ... and on C 2, 5, 8, 11. This way you can just use auto increment and set the increment value 3 and the start value to 0,1,2 respectively. Also, this way you will not run out of numbers until you run out of integers. ++Tim Hinnerk Heuer++ http://www.ihostnz.com
Re: [PHP] What method is best for generating thumbnails in PHP from PDF's?
Hi, I've spent ages trying to figure out a good way for this. Ghostscript and ImageMagick were slow and not giving satisfactory results because the colors were wrong in some instances. The solution for me was to use ImageMagick with X-PDF. You can install xpdf in any linux distro or even on windows. It has a neat little program called pdf2ppm which converts a PDF into a bitmap format which convert from imagemagick can then transform. Even though the ppm images are huge, it seems to work faster than using just convert. ++Tim Hinnerk Heuer++ http://www.ihostnz.com 2009/11/13 clanc...@cybec.com.au On Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:45:55 -0800 (PST), stephe...@rogers.com (Stephen) wrote: --- On Thu, 11/12/09, Chris Payne chris_pa...@danmangames.com wrote: I have been asked to create thumbnails from the first page of a PDF document on the fly with PHP, I have looked online but am confused as there doesn't seem 1 simple solution.

Which framework to use is more of a religious war than anything, but I would recommend Symfony.
