Re: [PHP] Convert a PDF to a PNG?
Outside the box a bit, but is there perhaps a web-service that does this, something like http://www.thumbalizr.com/ but for PDF files. As long as you had curl or something you would be GTG at that point. -Sean- On Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 1:48 PM, Brian Dunning wrote: > I have heard back from Rackspace and ImageMagick is not going to happen for > the time being, but they say Ghostscript is installed.

[PHP] Ticket Number
Hello, We're in the midst of creating a high volume transaction platform with PHP and MySQL. Each transaction ties to a transaction ID that is in turn an auto_increment, unsigned BIGINT(12). The problem now is I do not want users to see this running transaction ID when using the system (such that we can roll out surprises for the customer of, say, the 10th million transaction). We plan to convert the id to something like [A-Z0-9]-[checksums], (e.g. 1X2Z0HTDEKS93-C8P), for simple input-error detection, and we can use it to lookup the relevant id from the database. Which algorithm(s) in your opinion is the best for the encrypted transaction ID and checksum such that: - Transaction ID should always be unique - Running sequence is not predictable (when you have 2 transactions, you don't know how many transactions are between them) - Contains only alphanumeric and case insensitive letters of not more than 15 characters, excluding checksum We've thought of using the first 15 characters of a MD5 hash, so we can kind of SELECT substring(MD5(t_id)... during lookup, and CRC16 for the checksum. Someone also suggests scrapping the auto_increment field from db and generate our own using the below method while (t_id exists in db) randomize but i see the 2nd method being quite taxing to the server as you have to query at least one time per transaction. I appreciate all inputs. Thanks! Sincerely, Kenny -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Can htaccess > be set to use a php script instead of a htpasswd file? why are your username/passwords safer in script.php then .htpasswd? I still think your best route would be auth_ldap. If you directory server doesn't allow anonymous searches, have the admin create a low privileged account that only has access to search the required attributes.
