If you are already forcing the user to download the fullsize image in that
same page, you might as well just use HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes on your
other <IMG /> tags and let the browser do the scaling.
You'd be MUCH better off making and saving the thumbnails in advance, mind
you, but you're ruled that out.

I don't THINK anybody mentioned the GD folks' program that does this
called, errrr, "webthumb"???
You'd have to http://php.net/exec it
And your server would have to have X and a browser installed, which is not
super common on web servers.
Or you might be able to hack something up on a home machine to screenshot
the sites you want in a cron job and upload the images...

I had the "problem" and solved it, I believe I posted the answer here too? What kinda device are You listening to? I was listening to a switch and got nothing using the example from the fgetc manual until I restarted the switch, then all the boot info became visual... It reads each byte from the port, so use that as a "listen_wrapper", send try some [enter] commands, have a terminal ready to check if something goes wrong, try output the buffer, when $char is a "\n" and basically know exactly what the device shows and expects. Here´s a hint to get You started:
if($fp = fopen('com1', 'wb')) // b for windows
// send [enter]
fwrite($fp, "\r\n");
// listen to device
while (false !== ($char = fgetc($fp))) {
echo "$char\n";
$buffer .= $char;
if($char == "\n" || $char = "\r") {
echo "\nBUFFER: $buffer\n\n";
sleep(3);
$buffer = "";
}
}
}
else {
echo 'can´t connect to com1, got a terminal open?';
}
Play some more with the sleep and [enter]

Won´t be a problem with fgetc() since You read char by char.

Suggestion 1 and 2 may depend of which database you use.
Suggestion 3 have been touched in other answers.
Suggestion 1:
Create a custom function which takes the tableA.ID as parameter and run
a query on tableB and creates an string as answer. I do this in an
application i use PostgreSQL.
Suggestion 2:
Create an aggregate. I havent yet tried this in PostgreSQL.
Suggestion 3:
Order your sql result and loop over the data.

Hi there,
I would like to save some db power by putting values into a file which are often
used. They basicly populate a select field.
So I placed those values into associative arrays:
$code[language] = array("1"=> "php", "2"=> "asp");
Now I would like to sort those for displaying after my preference, not by lets
say alphabet. The easiest thing I could think of, is just to move the entry:
$code[language] = array("2"=> "asp", "1"=> "php");
But this of course does not work. I would like to be able to place values later
on inbetween. So if somebody comes up with a language called ".net" :-) I would
like to place it in the middle, but I cant get it to work like that :-(
To build the select box I use following code:
<select name="education">
<option value ="0" selected>---</option>
';
################################################
# build the select field
for ($i=1; $i <= count($code[education]); $i++){
if ($education)
$isselected = ($i == $education) ? " selected" : ""; // select the
active row
else
$isselected = FALSE;
printf ("<option value =\"%s\"%s>%s</option>\n", $i, $isselected,
$code[education][$i]);
};
################################################
echo'
</select>
Has anybody an idea which could help me on that? Thank you for any help.

What I did in a situation like this (much more complicated though,
with nested select boxes in a form) was use a database, and then
created a php-created javascript file.
The javascript file was buffered, and then cached (saved to a file)
with a timestamp...
So, I can limit the amount of times the WHOLE SCRIPT is run , say once
every 24 hours at most. Also, If i just updated it, I can delete the
cached version, and a new one is made.
Sure, the script is slow... but page loads are fast becuase (unless
its NEEDED) all thats to be processed is a file-read call and such...
not (potentially) hundreds of DB queries.
If you want I can post an example... let me know.

hmm.. I am not sure if JS is the best sollution for that. I am pretty sure that
there is a way with php for that.
The basic problem comes down to not be able to sort an array customized.
Lets take this array as an example:
$code[language] = array("1"=> "php", "2"=> "asp");
There must for sure be a way to pull the values out of that array by "first in
first out".
I am stuck with this, but it seems logical that there is a way around it.
Thank you for any help on that problem,

if you don't intend to use the $conn var why initialize it?:

again if you are using $sql only in one place then there
is no reason to not to do the following instead (given that
the query itself is very short - i.e. legibility is not a problem):
if ($result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sidebar")) {

sometimes it handy to initialize vars like the 2 above for readability...
in this case you may consider that the expressions are very short and therefore
you might want to skip creating the vars:
$left_sidebar[] = "<li class='menu-item'>- <a class='sidebar-link'
href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?s={$sidebar['sidebar_id']}'
title=\"{$sidebar['headline']}\">{$sidebar['headline']}</a></li>";

I am writing a contact manager in php/mysql. I'd like to use a binary array
as an efficient way to store information for groups that each contact
belongs to eg:
Field: 'group': 001010 means that the contact belongs to the second and
fourth group.
If the array is of type Byte, it should be able to store information about
255 groups.
Is php/mysql able to handle this? My specific questions are:
What functions set/clear a bit in an array in php?
How do you query whether a bit is set in mysql?
I hope I've made this clear enough to be followed - I'm not a pro!
attached mail follows:
Hi
First of all you can use the Bitwise Operators to set/clear a bit
Let say $a is '00100' meaning group 2 is set and you want to set group 4 then write: $a = $a | (pow(2 ,4)); //using OR Operator
Now $a is '10100'
Let say that you want to unset group 2:
$a = $a ^ (pow(2,2)); //using XOR Operator
In Mysql:
Let say you want to select groups 2,4,5
In your select string you should write something like :
$mygroups = (pow(2,2) + pow (2,4) + pow(2,5));
$sql = 'select * from sometable where groups = ' || $mygroups
Hope I was helpful

Hope I was helpful
Yaron Khazai
Thanks - will try that out soon.
attached mail follows:
In edit_schedule.phps:
if (isset($_POST['add_available'])){
$year = $_POST['year'];
$year = $year['NULL'];
$month = $_POST['month'];
$month = $month['NULL'];
$day = $_POST['day'];
$day = $day['NULL'];
$time = $_POST['time'];
$time = $time['NULL'];
...
}
after this is done..
$year, $month, $day, and $time should all be arrays with a single
'null' (not the keyword null though) item with no value. ie.
array(NULL=>);
what ARE you trying to do, you are making the POST vars global:
$day = $_POST['day'];
OK. (why do you even need to do this? whatever, matter of taste i guess..)
But then you over write their values, making them arrays with that
single element 'NULL'
$day = $day['NULL'];
Not seeing the logic here...
Overall, and not to mean offence, but your code is kinda sloppy and
has syntax and logic errors.
<?="$slot", ($taken ? ' <FONT COLOR="RED">TAKEN</FONT>' : '')?>
SHOULD be erroring up (if you have errors turned on, please say you do
for development)
try:
<?php echo $slot; if ($taken) echo '<FONT COLOR="RED">TAKEN</FONT>'; ?>
and btw, the short conditional syntax is:
(condition) ? true : false;
// ie. (note the empty string... you gotta have SOMETHING there
[right?i think so]
echo ($taken) ? '<FONT COLOR="RED">TAKEN</FONT>' : '' ;

All I am doing is adding a file name as a variable in the

When I do a echo $_GET['variable']; it only writes the first word. Is

You should write:
echo '<a href="http://www.mysite.com/mypage.php?variable=' .
rawurlencode('this is my image.jpg') . '">here</a>';
Then $_GET['variable'] will be equal to 'this is my image.jpg'.

I have been playing around with the varialbe that I am sending here and I
have found that this function is actually working correctly. Spaces an
punctuation decode properly, but an amperstand seems to be where my ploblem
is. I know its a very weird character to be using, but it is a valid
character in a filename so I must acount for it. Has anyone previously
dealt with this and might be able to give me a quick work around?

I got it. After you said I shouldn't need it I started playing around and
found that you were right...I didnt need it for spaces and other
punctuation. But I was then having a problem with amperstands. It was
dropping everything after an amperstand off. I ended up doing a
rawurldecode of $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] and then a strrchr() on it to
return everything past the "=" sign. Then I had to do a substr() to get rid
of the "=". Its probably a long way of doing this and I know it probably
wont work if I add a second variable to the url, but I have already taken
precautions against that. This should work unless anyone see's amore major
security issue with it.
$end = strlen(strrchr(rawurldecode($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]),"="));
echo substr(strrchr(rawurldecode($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]),"="), 1,
$end);

Hi
I´d like to encode the subject in mails generated and sent by PHP, so Danish letters like æ,ø and å can be used too... like this:
Subject: Problemer med =?ISO-8859-1?Q?f=E6llesdrev_m=2Em=2E?=
I can´t seem to find a proper function for this? I´ve tried with encode(), htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars():
$subject = htmlentities($subject, ENT_QUOTES, "ISO-8859-1");

And it´s not converted by the mailclients.
I´d like to solve this since the mailserver at work complaints if the subject is not encoded:

Solved,
Just in case someone finds it usefull.
I could get the raw post with :
$send = $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'];
And then the headers I need in the $_SERVER globals.
$header[] = "MessageType:$_SERVER[HTTP_MESSAGETYPE]"; // CALL
$header[] = "Content-Type:$_SERVER[CONTENT_TYPE]"; // text/xml

Yes it is on a Linux system.
I have done a little research and I am having a hard time finding info about
executing shell commands with php.
This seems like a very interesting possibility being able to use shell
commands. Any info you could point me to would be very appreciated.
I did find this piece of code that doesn't work for me. Maybe it is missing
something?
<?php
$mstrng = shell_exec('du -sc home/joeuser/www/testdir/');
print "$mstrng";
?>
It produces "0 total" and I know there is more then 11 kb of file in the
directory.
I tried it pointed directly at the file in the directory and I also tried
the "du -h".
Thank you so much for your response.

I have been looking for a solution to get the disk size of a directory.
I would like to be able to get the size of a directory with sub
directories
under it.
Will I need to loop through file sizes to get the total directory size?

If you are on a *nix system of some sort you could exec du -h

WDDX is an unusual extension for most of the hosting providers. And
writing my own XML serialization mechanism is an overkill. Moreover, XML
is not-compact, harder to edit and probably slower to parse.
Compare this:
<wddxPacket version='1.0'><header comment='PHP'/><data><struct>
<var name='pi'><number>3.1415926</number></var><var name='cities'>
<array length='3'><string>Austin</string><string>Novato</string>
<string>Seattle</string></array></var></struct></data></wddxPacket>
(taken from php manual)
to this
a:2:{i:0;d:3.14159260000000006840537025709636509418487548828125;i:1;a:3:{i:0;s:6:"Austin";i:1;s:6:"Novato";i:2;s:6:"Seattle";}}
(Number is given exactly as it was output by serialize. What a happy
coincidence.)
and to this
array(3.1415926,array('Austin','Novato','Seattle'))
(which could be reduced even more by elliminating the outer array()
statement)
I'm surprised that there is no way to safely serialize and unserialize
things using the same syntax as PHP itself uses. I can, of course, write
PHP data structure parser in PHP, but that's twisted way of doing it,
and it will be *slow*.

hi,
id like to know if there is a way to filter or specify what type of files id like uploaded to my server. for example, if i make a form to upload image files, when i click browse there are 2 fields one that'll store the file name(of the file selected) and the other filetype (usually say all types) what id like is to specify in file type : *.jpg,*gif etc. is this possible?
thanx.
