Quite an open ended post - not sure exactly what type of reaction you're
looking for from the group here. :)
Could you be more explicit about some of the "really great features" it has?
include() is a "really great feature" of PHP which somehow seems to get
lost
in the ASP/IIS world.
Give some examples please.
Thanks.

<?php
Header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$src_img = imagecreatefromjpeg($fileURL);
$aspect=imagesy($src_img)/imagesx($src_img);
$new_w = $thumbSize;
$new_h = $new_w * $aspect;
$dst_img = imagecreate($new_w,$new_h);
imagecopyresized($dst_img,$src_img,0,0,0,0,$new_w,$new_h,imagesx($src_img),i
magesy($src_img));
imagejpeg($dst_img,'',$quality);
?>
All you need to go is set up $fileURL and $thumbSize and this *should* work
flawlessly. When you get it working try using "Resampled" instead of
"Resized" - but you need gd 2.0.1 for that to work, and even then it has
issues it would seem.

Subject: [PHP] How to create thumbnails?
For thumbnail creation I would need to know how I scale a loaded image or
better:
How do I copy a scaled version of an image created with imagecreatefromjpeg
onto a background I have previously created?

How exactly does ftp_get work?
I tried it several times, but it always said something like
Warning: error opening /web/destinationfile.html in .scriptlocation.. on line 38
line 38 has: ftp_get($conn_id, $destfile, $remotefile, FTP_BINARY);
Can someone please help me with this.

attached mail follows:
It looks like you might not have permissions set for the web server to
create files in /web/...
If you know the names of the files which will be transferred ahead of time,
you can manually create them from FTP or your shell, then chmod them to 777.
Otherwise you might be better off creating a folder (/web/ftp/) and chmoding
the folder itself to 777.

No, the permission problem would be local (hence the error referencing the
destination file). It has nothing to do with FTP permissions, but the web
server's permission to write the file to /web/.

unless you expect the file to have three extensions at once, you
probably mean && for each of the places you wrote ||.

The filename solution might not be your best bet. They could've uploaded an

Thanks for all the answers to this question but hitting the back button will
work, no authorization required to see the pages all over.
Repost problem:
I'm having a PHP based auth. It seems that unset($PHP_AUTH_USER) or
unset($PHP_AUTH_PW) doesn't work. Also, 401 Unauthorized header does not
work also.
Is there a way to logout and no back button or the user just have to close
his browser in order to accomplish this?

The easiest way would be to call mysqldump from PHP (system, exec,
backticks, whatever) and pipe it to a file, all from the command line. This
would backup the core data in the form of valid MySQL statements. If you
have several indexes, this method will actually produce smaller files as
well.

The merit of what was achieved without financial resources is not in
question. What is in question is what could and can be done even without
financial resources to make PHP be more accepted than it is today.

I don't think we have the same understanding of what is marketing. For
me, marketing is being proactive in terms of promoting something before
the potential market. Seeing people advocating PHP or analysts covering
PHP here and there is not proactive at all. It is a result of the
evolution of PHP capabilities, but it was not something that was
especifically planned.
What I mean is there is a large potential market for PHP for which there
is no specific plan to address, not just in technical terms, but rather
in the message that that market is (not) getting about PHP suitability
for their needs.
You need to first watch the market and spot areas where people could be
using PHP but their are not, realize why they are not using PHP to
finally do something about it. As I said, it is not a technical problem,
but rather a people problem.

Ok, it is not fading out, but it is fading, meaning it is no longer the
exciting thing that it seemed to be and was attracting some many people
from everywhere.

Right, so be it, PHP will have to grow in the market without any giant
force behind it, at least for now. Let's consider that one extra
challenge for PHP future.

It is not a matter of loosing that focus, but rather enlarge the focus
of PHP that is adverstised for things that some people are already using
it seriously.
Anyway, lets just concentrate on the Web development focus. Web
development is not just Web scripts that are served by the Web server.
Web development is also, installing and maitaining applications and also
run processes that run separately from the Web server.
You know you can run PHP from the command line to do things like run
database installation scripts or run cron scripts that execute periodic
tasks.
The truth is that most people are not aware of this. They think PHP can
only be run from the Web server to serve Web pages. I was suprised by
the number of people that was telling me that Perl is better for running
scripts from the command line. Duh?! Why? Because nobody told them
otherwise! This very wrong perception of the current PHP user base needs
urgent fixing! The fix needs not to be applied in PHP, but rather in PHP
users minds. PHP needs to be advertised as tool than can run scripts
from anywhere, like any other language. For starters, drop the
designation of PHP CGI version.

If people are already using PHP that way for serious purposes, why
neglect that it can be used that way? That only lets other languages
take over a space that PHP has already conquered.
The way I see, most people tend to only use one language at once. If
they see an alternative to PHP not only serves well for Web programming,
but also for non-Web programming, PHP will loose its user base there. It
is a matter of time until a lot of PHP people will start seeing it that
way.

No, I mean executables that may be just like VB executables that
basically contain PHP code compiled into Zend bytecodes or whatever is
enough for most people be stopped from copy source code directly.
A lot of people give up PHP because it does not provide affordable
conditions to let them sell whole applications that others can't still
their code, when they can just spend only US$100 or less in VB, Delphi,
Java, Kylix, etc... suite and compile programs that they can distribute
or sell to others without risking their business.
There are a lot more other things to say on these subjects, but these
should give you enough to think for a while. :-)

Well, that's not quite true. The analysts that are beginning to show
interest are a result of efforts being made in certain companies. As for
advocating, I specifically mentioned companies and not people, which is
what makes it pro-active. I think our definitions for marketing are quite
similar :)

Well, not all of the sites are of the same quality and enjoy the same
maintenance level. Such sites may have a good audience and may be a good
service, but they won't necessarily do a good job at presenting PHP. They
may (will) also overlap in content, which would also not look very
professional either.
Things like that are usually not that simple, or in other words, they're
easier said than done. If done sloppily, they can have a negative
effect. And doing them correctly requires substantial efforts.

I disagree even with the toned-down version :) I think that the Web as a
medium is one of the most promising infrastructures around. True, the hype
is gone, but that's a good thing. I don't think the hype moved anywhere
else, it's just gone (for now :)

By definition of the word focus (well, almost), there's no real way to
'enlarge' it without losing it. We can play with words forever, though :)

Could be. The truth is that PHP *is* lacking in command line features if
you compare it to Perl, because it was indeed never brought up to be a
command line tool...

I'm not saying it won't happen, but I've yet to see projects like PHP-GTK
being used 'seriously'. To make it clearer, I've yet to see an application
which is actually written in PHP-GTK, and is being distributed or
sold. The day may come, but unlike the Web ring where we hold a huge
chunk, I find it very hard to imagine seeing PHP taking a considerable
chunk of the GUI market, ever.

It's really an issue of different opinions. I think our focus should
remain on the Web ring, because we can't enlarge it without losing it. We
can foster additional projects, such as PHP-GTK, improved command line
features, etc., but the way I see it, if you want to define PHP in one
sentence, the best qualifying one would still be 'A Server Side, HTML
Embedded Scripting Language' (sorry Andrei ;). It's true that it can be
used in other ways, but that's the focus, and the rest are useful 'exceptions'.

Thank you :)

This is very true. I have a few ideas that I want to sell, but the only
way that I can do it with PHP is to give out the source, and the user is
expected to know how to install PHP and set up the script. If I can
compile the PHP script, then I can sell the executables. The users
would only have to copy the package into a directory and use it like a
cgi, and I won't have to worry about people looking into my codes.
Having executable takes care of 2 concerns I have if I want to sell a
solution. First, with an executable, users don't have to install PHP on
their system to use my solutions. Second, users cannot see my code.

Instead of foreach(), try something like
echo $drec[0].", ".$drec[1];
(or whichever records it is you want).
Note: in the PHP documentation, they specifically
suggest abandoning DBase for any of the free
SQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc).

When I try with
for ($x = 1; $x < $quant; $x++)
{
$drec = dbase_get_record_with_names($dbf,$x);

}
It only shows the dots. It doesn't show any of the fields.
I know that dbf is a very prehistorical solution, but the client still
uses Fox Pro, so...

I've solved it!
You have to put the field name of the DBF, not the array position. I
don't know exactly why, but it worked for me.
So the code is:
for ($x = 1; $x < $quant; $x++)
{
$drec = dbase_get_record_with_names($dbf,$x);
echo "$drec[NAME]<br>";
}
Thanks a lot for your help!

"Nobody" is the user runng the Apache process that's why it is the owner

You can "chown" the direcotry from your PHP script after you create

Setting the file to have 0777 permissions will allow you to read and write it from any user on the system.

I 've the same problem and I haven´t the solucion so far. I need to create a file with the correct owner, "nobody" is not usefull at all.
Chown and chmod are not the solution, the solution is create the dir or the file directly with the real owner, I saw a script to do that but I can´t find it again and I´m working in it but I can´t solve it.
If somebody knows the solution I'd apreciate so much to know it

I did, it is not that difficult. It can tell you if a future employee really knows PHP. But as an employer myself, I would never rely on such a test to check if a programmer is qualified. I would check general programming knowledge and problem solving, something that these test can't do. (at least not the one I took)

It depends on how the webserver is setup. If its being run as a CGI then it depends if suEXEC is enabled. If its not, it should be run as nobody, whereas if it is (and the user/group paramater in httpd.conf is set) it'll be run as whatever the directive is set to. If its run as a module, then the userid should be nobody. Where are you trying to identify it from?

Thanks for your answer Chris,
What I want to do is find a way to check if a script is running as a cgi or not. Suppose I am running it from a unix shell (sgi) then I want the script to behave differently than when executed by a Web Server. I was wondering if there is an enviroment/php variable that can help me identify whether the script was sgi or web running. Thanks again.

Look into: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-current-user.php
If run from the webserver it may return "nobody", and from your shell it'd run as your username.

Those directories are for Frontpage extensions. If you don't use Frontpage, it should be safe to take an axe to them.

Tsk, tsk! ;-)
No, FrontPage only created the _vti directories (Micro$oft bought the prog from "Vermeer Technology Inc").
I'd leave the others alone unless you take a good close look at their contents and make sure you can survive without them.

Hi Guys,
I want to write a script that retrieves quote prices off the ASX (Australian Stock Exchange) and then adds it to the database.
I think the only way I can do this is by using the yahoo finance query..... I need to know how I can call a string within my PHP script and then get the results. The results are returned in a comma delimited format. Any ideas?
use http://au.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=NAB&m=a&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv to see the results.
thanks

Why don't you just dl() your extension into the module version?
attached mail follows:
If you use the ext/ext_skel mechanism for creating your extension framework your extension will be able to build shared automatically.
Just do ./configure --with-blah=shared and look in modules/
