OK, i thought I found my solution but...

How come if I convert from "1000" from Binary to Hex in calculator, it
returns 8, but when I use the PHP bin2hex function, it returns loads of 3s
and 0s????

Subject: [PHP] Hex Help Please...

Rite,

There's a PHP script that takes a monochrome BMP and converts it into some
sort of hex code and I've noticed some patterns with this code. This image
is 72 pixels wide by 14 high so there's 1008 pixels. In the code returned,
theres 252 chars, which is 1008 divided by 4.

So I guessed the image is split into 4 pixels each. So if I pass an image
with the first pixel black and everyhting else white, it returns 8 for those
4. If I pass an image with the first and second black, it returns c.

With the first three black, it returns e. With the first 4, f. And if I have
the 5th pixel black it goes onto the next char code, eg returning f for the
first 4 pixels, then 8 for the 5th pixel black, ie the first pixel in the
next 4. In total it returns f8.

PS
I tried reading in each pixel of the script, checking if it was black or
white, 1 for black, 0 for white. Then converting these 0s and 1s from
decimal to hex, then converting from binary to hex, but to no avail. Then I
tried taking a set of 4 1s or 0s and converting them, but still no luck.

So my questions is, does anyone know how theyre encoding the image???? I
could probably could decipher the coding with some experimentation but it
really looks like hex and I might be wasting my time.

Is there any way to fseek (or something to the exact same effect) a file opened with "a" or "a+"?

I've tried rewinding and fseeking appendable files, but neither work.

Opening up in "r+" gives me part of the desired result, but if where I want to write is not at the end, it writes over things, which I obviously do not want.

What do you mean by pass? Using a GET method, POST, COOKIE or are you trying to do something else (other than SESSION)?

Is there a variable by the same name in the session? If register_globals is on, the session value could be overwriting the GET value.

No,

The strange thing is there isn't. I have a test page that links to the order form, having this html:

<p> <a href=order_form.php?prod_ids[]=9&prod_qtys[]=1>Order</a>

I've tried it here as both a link and as hidden forms. Neither on works if I begin the script with:

if(!(session_id())) session_start();

I've actually figured a bit of a workaround by having the session begun on earlier pages, and just continued on the order form. I think when a session is begun the server sends a cookie to the browser, and somehow that transaction wipes out the variables, whether posted or passed by URL. It's a bit of a pain but it seems to be working. I'm just now slightly nervous that the order form is unable to begin a session if it needs to, but one lives, right?

How are you testing whether the variables were passed or not? What version of PHP are you using and is register_globals ON or OFF?

I'm on a server with php version 4.2.1 with register globals on. The main test has been can I access the variables in the script? Oddly enough, if I didn't use an array they are there for me. Turns out it's only when I'm trying to pass an array. Single variables works fine. I'm beginning to think it's a bug.

Why are you trying to use an array? The values are there, I imagine you are just trying to access them incorrectly.

> > > <a href=order_form.php?prod_ids[]=9&prod_qtys[]=1>Order</a>

For that URL, which you should be using quotes around, you'll have $_GET['prod_ids'][0] --> 9 and $_GET['prod_qtys'][0] --> 1. Or, $prod_ids[0] --> 9, etc, since register_globals is on.

---John Holmes...

attached mail follows:

Right, I understand I should be able to access them. That's the whole problem. They're not there.

I can do one of two things and they magically become available:

1. Don't start the session.

2. Use single variables, not arrays.

#2, however, would create a problem in that I intend to set it up that a person can have more than one item in their shopping cart. This hoses that, as I was planning on having the product ids passed as hidden fields so as not to have to rely on the session functions to keep items in the shopping cart.

Damn, what a flame war I've started! I had no idea...

In any case, Richard: I agree that HTML e-mails, generally speaking, suck. The most HTML I **personally** think should be in an e-mail is a quick link to a web page, maybe a bit of text coloration/sizing for emphasis.

However, **professionally**, I'm looking at something completely different. I run a small web services business looking for any form of cash possible, and a local portal site has offered to promote on their site an HTML e-mailing system that we create -- and they have customers *begging* for it. While I as an individual may despise HTML e-mail, I as a businessman cannot turn down such an obvious revenue-generation stream, especially in today's economy.

I came to the list looking for technical help because it's something that I need to do, not something I want to promote. Whatever my motives may have been, though, there's no reason to launch such a tirade on the subject on-list -- if you want to bitch and moan and flame, it's just as easy to do off-list.

Please, please, let's kill this thread and all the animosity going with it -- *especially* since I've been kindly pointed in all the directions needed for technical help.

Not exactly a PHP question, but you guys will know,

is there a significant performance difference in how long does it take a server to find files as the directories become more nested,

eg.

1. file index.php uses images from directory DIR

vs.

2. file index.php uses images from directory images/DIR

vs.

3. file index.php uses images from directory files/images/DIR

Thanks in advance,

I think that's entirely dependent on the server's OS. If the OS has a problem, then yes, obviously, otherwise I don't see a reason (unless there is a bug) for significant speed loss.

What's so hard with stopping script kiddies (which is just about all you can do with an e-mail to my knowledge -- aside from attachments).

In PHP or Perl you could easily write a script that kills ANY <SCRIPT> tags and <APPLET> tags, as well as anything else that might pop up anything. I don't understand why no one just does that with C++, it's not even that hard in that either (actually pretty easy because you just find the <SCRIPT> or whatever tag and then delete everything until the end tag ... if that means bye bye e-mail, then bye bye e-mail). Is there some other flaw (other than the awe-inspiring trust that of attachments that people have) that I don't know about?

Maybe some day I might just have to work on something similar to this idea.

Just avoid using Javascript because most mail programs will disable it.

Other than that you ought to always send multipart-alternative MIME messages where the HTML version is indeed an alternative to a text version of your message. If you do not do that, some people will discard your messages confusing them with SPAM, unless what you are sendind is really solicited mail.

When you say version 4, which version 4 do you mean? Ditto for version 5. With so many patches and 'upgrades' issued for IE I won't surprised if there is some combination which causes Location: header to fail.

FWIW, a user note at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php says :

There is this nasty bug in IE 5 for Windows prior to service pack 2, described in Microsoft knowledgebase article Q281197 which causes a problem with redirecting.. if you submit a POST form to a page that uses header() to redirect to another page after processing the form data, then IE will not display some of the images on the page, if the user has an "external HTTP namespace handler" (RealDownload for example) installed. It took me a very long time to figure this out; I had no idea why my ads weren't displaying on IE for windows but worked fine everywhere else.

Hi all. I’m trying to handle a picture upload. So far, I’ve made my script store it where I want with the name I want. The only problem now, is that it should store that given name into a MySQL DB table… I tried it by calling a function which stores the picture and returns a variable called $picname then use an UPDATE statement but that variable isn’t passed… any ideas? The code looks like this:

------------------------------------------- and then the updating -------------------------------------------

pic_upload($id); $query = "UPDATE os_developers SET devpicture = '$username' WHERE devid = $id"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

I don't exactly know what is wrong, but I can definitely tell you that you have two gaping security holes with this code. Unless you're doing checks that you did not show (which is highly likely), $username and $id can be set to anything. I'm not exactly sure how important/unimpornant some of that stuff is, but you might want to make sure you kill off MySQL comment code inside there and other possible exploits.

The other problem with your code is that you're not debugging it. Set up echo statements here and there to make sure variables are defined as you think they are, that's the biggest mistake I see myself and others make, not defining variables as I think I am.

Includes are faster overall. If you already have a database connection open for other things, then there won't be as much of an overhead for using the database.

It appears that $username isn't being defined within the scope of the query. You define it only in the function.

Try do this instead:

$username = "";

function pic_upload($userid) { global $username; //... the rest of the code } // now do the queries and everything else.

I think that will fix your problem.

You need to have a separate file that creates your images.

Where file.php should create your image headers and send the data.

Hi,

I've never done much in the way of dynamic images, but I don't believe you send images inline...

I believe browsers still need an image tag, but instead of myimage.gif, I'm pretty sure you call a php script instead:

makeMeAnImage.php outputs a GIF/JPG/PNG header, followed by the image data.

At least that's my (limited, theoretical) understanding.

You use the "onClick" feature like this:

Just my opinion, but it is ALWAYS a good idea to terminate statements with semicolons, no matter if there is or isn't additional statements.

But thanks Chris for at least using standardized HTML coding practices. I can't stand it when I see tags and the like that don't cooperate with standards.

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS was never a superglobal. $_SERVER is a superglobal but only available on php 4.1.X or above. Read the docs for the details.

Hi all I try to automatically process cc payment. I use online clearing via a third party --> so what I have to do: 1.

1-3 is not a real problem, but how can I receive the response, before it is printed out to the browser/screen? I know I should get the response string into a variable so the whole procedure is "silent", but how?

Hello all,

This may be a pretty naive question. Do we have to use the key word session_register("variablename"); in every single page, in which we plan to use the "variablename"?. Or is it possible that we register the variablename once, and in the subsequent pages continue to access it using $variablename ?

Thanks in advance, Sachin.

You just have to call it once.

What is your PHP Version ?

Try putting the

global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS; print_r($HTTP_SERVER_VARS);

in your custom function and check out what is it printing...

Hi all,

I'm trying to use xslt_process() to transform a variable containing XML data with an xsl file into a result using PHP. Incidentally the XML is from an external source, i.e. a database. However despite following the examples in www.php.net I am unable to do so. The code works out to something like this:

if (! empty($searchword ))

$query = "SELECT aml FROM arguments WHERE aml LIKE '%$searchword%'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Query failed"); $line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC);

var_dump($line);

// Create an array $arguments = array('/_xml'=> $line);

//XSL file $xsl = "./sheet1.xsl";

// Create an XSLT processor $xslthandler = xslt_create();

// Perform the transformation $html = xslt_process( $xslthandler, 'arg:/_xml', $xsl, NULL, $arguments);

// Detect errors if (!$html) die ('XSLT processing error: '.xslt_error($xslthandler));

// Destroy the XSLT processor xslt_free($xslthandler);

// Output the resulting HTML print $html;

What I get on the screen is:

Array ( [0] => "With the contents of my variable...")

And:

Warning: Sablotron error on line 1: XML parser error 2: syntax error in /home/httpd/html/ctan/resultworkingcopy2.php on line 93 XSLT processing error: XML parser error 2: syntax error

What gives? I'm really frustrated and would greatly appreciate it if someone would point out where I've made an error before I start ripping all my hair out! Thanks... Thanks... Thanks!

I may be missing something, but your not parsing XML. Your $line contains an array of data from the database, not xml.

Dear ALL,

It seems that i have a very silly problem. I can't get the new line escape character to work. the following is my SIMPLE script and corresponding output.

PHP script: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd" > <html> <head> <title>TEST</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff"> <?php echo "this should be printed out:\n"; echo "this is a second line"; ?> </body> </html>

Output in IE6: this should be printed out: this is a second line

If you check the source of your code you'll see that in source the text is in two lines. \n doesn't work as <br>, so this is about how HTML works, not plain text.

The browser will ignore newlines use <br> instead.

to use newlines the text could be enclosed in <pre> text\n more text\n</pre> tags, but <br> is probably what you need.

My question is what can I do if someone searches for php script for search?

I would want to use OR in my SQL statment. The problem is how do I write the query so that it will detect the number of words sent then put enough ORs and LIKE '%$search[1]% in?

Thanks.

Here is the script.

<? include "includes/required.php"; $query = " SELECT count(article_keyword.weight) as score, article_keyword.aid, article_data.name, article_data.time, article_data.description FROM article_keyword,article_data WHERE article_keyword.aid = article_keyword.aid AND article_keyword.keyword LIKE '%$search%' GROUP BY article_keyword.aid ORDER BY score DESC "; $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed: $query<br>" . mysql_error()); $num_results = mysql_num_rows($result); if($num_results == 0){ echo "Your search returned no results. Try other keyword(s)."; exit; } elseif($num_results > 0){ for ($i=0; $i < $num_results; $i++) { $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); echo '<tr><td>'; do_hr(); echo '<a href="full_article.php?aid='.$row['aid'].'">'; do_h($row['name'].' - '.date('jS-M-Y',$row['time']), 3, 'n'); echo '</a>'; echo '</td></tr><tr><td>'.$row['description']."\n"; echo '</td></tr>'; } } ?>

[snip] > When i use <div align="top"> on an include inside of a table > cell it dosen't work. Any reason?

Almost certainly there'll be a reason. Browse the page in question in your web browser and then view the source - see if you've ended up with your page source as you'd intended. Most of these sorts of problems come down to html that isn't valid for whatever reason. [/snip]

"DIV" has no "top" attribute, all DIV are loaded from the top -> down. http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#h-7.5.4 . You may want to use CSS to define your divs'. Also, make sure that your include is call before any HTML head where the LINK REL to the stylesheet might be.

HTH!
