[PHP] can't get imagecopy, etc. function to work.

2003-03-31 Thread Wo Chang
Dear Experts,

Seems like I can't use any of the followings even
though I'm running PHP 4.3.2-RC1:

  * imagecreatefromjpeg
  * imagecopy
  * etc.

Am I right the gd-2.x has already integrated with
PHP 4.3.2-RC1 and the gd also has the jpeg integrated?

Or, should do I have to bring in the jpeg-6x myself?

If I need to bring in the jpeg-6x myself, should I
install it within the ext/gd sub-dir?

Thing wanted to do: create a separate thumbnail jpeg
file from an org. jpeg file.  Any better idea?

Please advice.

Thanks in advanced.

Subject: how can php applications use session control to track multiple users?


 Dear Experts,
 
 I know you can use session_register to register varialbes,
 but how do you use sessions for multiple users?
 
 Ex.
 
 $valid_user = $username; // let's say $username has JSmith
 session_register(valid_user);
 
 but if another user (SWhite) logins, then the valid_user now
 has the value of SWhite and the earlier user JSmith is
 gone.  So, how do you make the sessions looks like:
 
 JSmith|s:6:JSmith;SWhite|s:6:SWhite;
 
 Is this the way how people usually implment to track multiple
 users?
 
 Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

[PHP] Re: can you do exec under Windows OS?

2002-07-11 Thread Wo Chang

I might found the answer myself but correct me if I'm wrong:

I was trying to pass some args (ex. echo testing) that I tried 
to exec but fail.  But, if I put the echo testing inside a 
batch file and have the exec to call that batch file, then it works.

There is also a function call escapeshellcmd to screen out
any bad tricks.

If there is other better ways to do thing, please share.

Thanks.

 Your message was clear, and as stated by several people already, you
 can't do it in PHP.
 
 PHP is a server side scripting language, Javascript and VBScript are
 client side languages.  Popping up a dialog box is a client side
 function, thusly cannot be done in PHP. :)

[PHP] trying to use gzlib ZZIPlib within PHP

2002-04-17 Thread Wo Chang

Dear PHPers,

I downloaded and compiled the zlib from www.gzip.org/zlib
and recompiled the php and apache, but somehow I get
gzcompress and gzuncompress undefined.

Then I tried with ZZIPlib with --with-zip switch when
compiling PHP then recompile apache.  After restarted
the apache, I do see variables get set for zip but when
I do zip_open (abc.zip) I got an error saying zip_open
not defined.

How do I get the above gzcompress  zip_open to work?
I checked with httpd.conf for zlib.  I also enable the
compression for php.ini

Any helps would be greatly appreciated.

 It needs to be a name/value pair, like this:
 
 echo a href='http://abc.com/test.php?name=value'try/a;
 
 Most people do it like this, letting them put a PHP variable in there:
 
 echo a 
 href=\http://abc.com/test.php?variablename=$php_variable\;try/a;
 
 or if you don't like to use escaped doublequotes, try
 
 echo 'a href=http://abc.com/test.php?variablename=' . $php_variable . 
 'try/a';

 No, actually in the querystring the ? only serves to separate the URL 
 from the querystring.  So you can only use it once, immediately after 
 the URL.  To add additional values, you use the  sign.
 
 url.com?a=1b=2c=3
 etc.
 
  Another question: if I want to hide all these
  parameters at the url, how I can do that without
  using the form.
 
 If you want to do that, it's a little more complex -- you can't use the 
 querystring at all.  You need to pass your values via the POST method in 
 HTTP.  The easiest way to do this is to make an HTML form and specify 
 the method of the form tag as POST (like this: form method=post 
 action=targetpage.php).
 
 There is another way, it's a bit more involved.  You open a socket with 
 the server and directly send the data as POST data.  This allows you to 
 avoid having to bother with a form.  Rasmus Lerdorf wrote a function to 
 do this (takes most of the work out of it) but it helps to understand 
 how sockets work if you're going to take this route.  Let me know if you 
 want this function, I have a copy of it.
 
 I CC'd this back to the list, because there are probably others who can 
 benefit from this conversation -- in general, try to keep discussion on 
 the list unless there is some reason for privacy.
 
 Feel free to ask if you have more questions!

Re: [PHP] how to make php 4.0 ftp lib work

2002-04-03 Thread Wo Chang

Dear Tyler,

Not sure if this is the right procedure, but works!

Since PHP ftp works under Apache, I need to re-compile,
re-install, and re-start the Apache, then I do see
the ftp info on phpinfo(), and things working ok.

Thanks for your quick reply!

 I guess I'm not really sure then.  Just make sure that you used --enable-ftp
 if you're using php4, and
 --with-ftp if you're using php3.  I don't know of any config settings that
 need to be set in php.ini to enable ftp support.
 
 If you don't end up getting the ftp functions to work, you could try using
 php's filesystem functions:
 http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php
 
 Other than that, I don't any suggestions.  Good luck.  ;-)
