Re: [PHP] looking for group/playlist functionality... (sort of!!)
hmm mpd/mpc allows much of what you ask, for a playlist that is. I made a frontend to this deamon using php. don't know about that disabling/enabling feature but I recon that part can be done php only. On Oct 22, 2008, at 3:15 PM, bruce wrote: Hi.. Working on a project, and I need to be able to allow the user to create groups of files from a list of files. (all of this is php/web-based) As I'm going though what I'm going to need, it occurred to me that someone's hopefully/probably already created the basic logic for this in someother app. I looked in freshmeat/sourceforge with not much luck, and figured I'd post here to get some thoughts as well... I need to be able to: -take a list of files -allow user to displau the list of files, select a given file, and add the file to a new group -the app needs to let a user select a given group (already created) and let the user delete/remove a file from the group, or add a new file to the group -app allows a user to delete the group -app allows user to enable/disable the group -etc... It occured to me that this is the kind of functionality in a playlist kind of app (I imagine), or some kind of batch app, that deals with manipulating groups/dirs of files... So, while I can create this functionality, never hurts to look at what might already be out there... If you have pointers to an existing app that does something similar to the above functions, or other thoughts, feel fre to reply! thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Best way to recieve image from url?

Hi,
I have this function:
function saveImageFromUrl($image_url, $image_save)
{
$contents = file_get_contents($image_url);
$fp = fopen($image_save, 'w');
fwrite($fp, $contents);
fclose($fp);
}
As you can see it fetches the images contents and write them to new
image on
my local directory.
Is this is the best way to do this? (I don't have curl)
Does file_get_contents() uses buffer to get the contents of the
image? (in
case the server response is slow)
the server will respond slow either way if it is slow to respond.
There is a better way?
Thanks in Advance,

What we're thinking of is to build a site on which people can view videos with the option to add metadata to a video after viewing it. We think that the content we have will be of wide interest to a lot of people and the best way to index it is for users to 'tag' it themselves, since it's hard for us to anticipate the uses that people may have for the content. How do you plan to have users enter the info? Through the Flash player, through some kinda Ajax form, through a form in a frame or just a static form? Also, would the tags be predefined by you (eg. genres like the ID3 tag genres) or would people be able to add their own tags? The way I'd do it would be to let the users enter the info through an Ajax form below the video, with suggestions popping up as they type. Then save it in a separate table (I assume all your vids are in their own table) with a link table between the vids table and the tags table (M2M relationship). This means that if the tag is already in there and linked to one vid, you don't replicate it for a second vid. It's also very easy to do lookups of similar items. I'd also add a weighting to the tags in the links table, maybe with the more people that add a specific tag, the more weight that tag gets. Also check out http://www.music-map.com/ as an example of showing similar music - you might even be able to plug into this data.

Thank you for any hint :-) Ciao, Stefano Thanks for all of your hints :) Here's my solution: 1) disable contextmenu on the images to protect using javascript (just to discourage less determined people) 2) for other purposes, the page containing images to protect, is brought to users through an ajax request, so they can't so-easily look at the source (not with browser's normal 'view source' anyway... they would need something like firebug). 3) use a script to get image data (as someone on the list suggested), checking for the right $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] (i know... it's not so trustworthy... if anyone has a better idea, i'll be glad to listen to :)) 4) encrypt the relative path of the image on the fly, using mcrypt with a key generated on the login and then pass it encoded whit base64_encode (with a little workaround for '+', '/' and '=' chars) to the image-reading script. So, even if someone can get to the source, they'll end up whit an encrypted id of which they don't know neither the key nor the encryption method nor even what it's supposed to represent (if some database id or a path). I think that's a good way to prevent image theft... well, unless the thief uses the print screen key... What's your point of view?

On Sunday 20 April 2008 11:27:38 Jeffrey wrote: I'm working on an application that includes e-mail notifications of certain events. Because the application will have hundreds or thousands of users, I've designed it so that e-mail notifications are saved to a MySQL table. Then a regular cron job runs a php page to select the data from the table, put it into a mail() command and mail. My original vision was to have the script do about 50 mails, then pause for a 5 seconds, do a meta refresh and run through another 50 and so on - with experimentation in numbers as necessary. This process was set up because I recall reading somewhere - perhaps the manual - that it is not a good thing to run too many php mail()s in succession. Also, I worry about php time-outs. If you know more about PHP and 'nix than I do, you already realise the fatal flaw here: meta refresh doesn't work on a cron job. Question: is there an alternative? I appreciate I could use sleep() after every 50 mails - but there would still be the time-out problem. I've searched the manual and via Google - but haven't found anything - possibly I am searching on the wrong terms. Your help will be much appreciated. Thanks, Jeffrey What a waste.

On Tuesday 18 March 2008 14:22:26 Aschwin Wesselius wrote: Per Jessen wrote: Yes, that's a very typical setup. When the form is processed, you send a 303 redirect to the Thank you page. That way, if the user hits the back arrow, he's taken back to the form URL, not the post URL. (which would then warn him about re-submitting etc.) Ok, fine. But why do a real redirect when a header with 303 could be sufficient? If you model good enough, there would not be a need for header(location) redirects. Or am I wrong? What is your opinion about (ab)using rewrites / redirects? Do you use it quick and dirty, or is it some elegant way of controlling flow? I think there are plenty of perfectly valid reasons for using a redirect, whether dynamically from php or via an apache config. And undoubtedly there equally many poor reason for using redirect and/or rewrite. (they're very different things, by the way). I know they're different things. I only want to start a discussion so people do understand other techniques instead of just using whatever 'works' as a solution to their problem with flow. Redirects do solve some issues, but they should be avoided whenever possible. header(location) mechanisms do come with a very huge disadvantage if you don't use them with caution. Requests are reinitialised, libraries loaded (again), DB connections setup/checked again, session lookups are being done, log write for another request etc. That's quite an impact for just not knowing what to do with flow. So, if you know what you want to handle (control) and what you want the user to see (view), one should be able to model it without the use of redirects unless it really is needed. Or is it OK, to redirect and 'simplify' the flow? Are you asking or informing? The way of; I know it all, how do I do it? is confusing. All you do is stating the obvious either way, while it all depends on the task at hand. You may want to reconnect to a different db, cleaning out variables and posts? dunno. Probably you want the least possible transfer over the network since that is more costly than a new computer to a cluster.

Definetly, you need to express your ego, and be thick skinnned. How come it is acceptable for grown up (you DO have pubic hair don't you?), don't use obscenities, this just look stupid on your part when someone google the list. Maby for your name? mature and decent people to call names and try to convince each other of having a bigger, better whatever than the other etc.? It's called discussion, you both walk og talk your stuff, so do others and if smart enought, someone may learn something from it. Is that PHP-list culture? Is it something to get used to? Is it the core of senior PHP-developers or what? It's people with opinions, strong ones to at times. So, explain it to me, what is it that I could have missed? Is it somewhere in the archives? Is it explained on some FAQ page? Does it take some potions by full moon on a 3rd friday in may to get into this state? You got different kinds of people here, like me, just doing this for a hobby, I can take some new age weird nerdy talk of nonecense. However, there are those who do this for a living (not just php, but web design or lamp og wamp (how is that for a acronyme =D?)), they don't take lightly on having a serious discussion with someone who just f* around telling halftruths. It is OK do discuss a subject, to get overheated by passion, ignorance, irritation, misunderstanding or a mix of all of them. But isn't calling names and comparing bodyparts (and what not) something for kinder garten? Everybody has those, has to do with experience, and the respect for those who know what they talk about (that would be those who do this for a living) I'm not here to preach, I'm here to learn. So initiate me, tell me what is so important that we keep putting energy into convincing somebody that he's an idiot, a dumbass, an elite RoR fetishist etc. Does it give you a good feeling? Can I try? Should I try? Is it worth it? Will I become as enlightened as some of you are? Discuss that on a civil dunno, some cafe bar hangaround chat page... If you on the other hand got some problem with your php code, some questions for what you are looking for (i.e. what set of commands is capable of doing...) you've come to the right page. I don't want to miss out on this great experience, if it is worth it. It must be something amazing, really. If that makes the PHP community as great as it has become, I want to join and put some effort in this marvelous activity. noones hindering you, just keep in mind that much of these ppl do this for a living and time/money/effort/payoff vs the hobbyist thinkering and thoughts is often two completly different mindsets at least, THAT is what I read from the list these last couple of years.

All was working fine until i upgrade to php-5.2.x. More strange: i've installed php-xxx.deb from dotdeb packages (added in my sources.list) From witch pool? 5.2 is in lenny and so is the dependencies. I don't know if you compile because you miss a feature, or simply because of the version. If you compile for the version just install from lenny, if you compile for features, install required dependencies. Oh wait, it compiled fine? and it just don't work afterwards? You tried from testing pool? does it work there, if the maintainer can't help you seems like a compile flaw for some reason. where these extensions are shared and in this case all works fine. I've asked dotdeb developper what may cause this issue on my box but he couldn't spent many time to debug my problem. In doubt, i've reinstalled all lib-dev invoked by configure script but always same error. I've tried on 2 others machines with same distro and i got same error, too.

In any case

Flame job aside, that's going to fail on a compound extension such as
.tar.gz by just returning .tar
so.
it.will.fail.this.one.to.txt
and a fix would also fail because you would have to hardcord everygoddamn

I would say stick with the last dot, if its not particulary often you stumble
over those .tar.bz2 endings.

According to php docs it's always a multi-dimensional array:

The 'uploaded' is what you call the file input in your form.

How is the output random? The text from the file, or the order the

I recon its the same problem I faced where files are read in the fifo order

How is the output random? The text from the file, or the order the

I recon its the same problem I faced where files are read in the fifo

I am not naive enough to think that my email address would have remained secret if Dan hadn't published the list. Unfortunately, this is the only newsgroup out of more than 20 that I regularly monitor or contribute to that exposes individual addresses. I have tried posting in the past with a munged address, but the post was rejected. I took the risk of using an address that had been spam-free for years in the full knowledge of what might happen. I did so, because this seemed a professional list, and the address remained spam-free for about a year after my first post. It's only within the last couple of months that spam has started coming in. Whether it's this list that's been harvested, it's impossible to say. Of course, anyone with the appropriate coding skill can harvest addresses from this list, as Dan has shown. I just don't think it's sensible for a responsible member to hand the addresses of 100 members on a plate to all and sundry. As I've said before, if Dan's response had been, Sorry, that wasn't meant to happen, that would have been the end of it. And now this really must be the end of it. You really don't get it yet? You distributed it, I knew your email long before Dan did squat, didn't take any programming to acomplish that. And for skills? I'm poor at regexp (as in I SUCK) but hell, even I could do an harvest directly from postfix and you would come up time after time by your own hand, a few mails more with the mention of your email wouldn't do any difference, see; I got you one the first mail. __ David Powers -- --- Børge Holen http://www.arivene.net -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

My intentions were just to add something neat to the list for the regulars (which will work as expected now), but what if someone had truly malicious intentions? What if hundreds or thousands of emails were sent and held in queue, and then the sender's address confirmed? Would the mailing list software even be able to handle that much of a queue?

Well, I'm glad it was easy for you, but this has been, and remains, confusing and frustrating for me. Shouldn't be... two different servers where the timezone in php.ini is set different. It does not do anything useful, EXCEPT giving you the possability to offset/ skew the time in php. Short version and a hand on explanation: Say I maintain a machine in seattle and my own here in norway. 9 hours time difference. These two is handling a site together and the database timestamp has to be the same, on a date not yet arrived on the other. I can now offset one of the machines 9 hour forth or back to fit my need. of course this only work if you handle one domain (or more in one country). If not... you must use the solution presented by the others here. Here's the problem if anyone cares to stress themselves. Here is the code and demo: http://webbytedd.com/c/unix-time1/index.php It works for me on my server. However, when I use the exact same function for a client on his server and enter: 10-18-2009 00:00:00 The function changes the date to: 10-18-2009 12:00:00 What's going on here? That was my problem to, till I found the bugger in the ini file: [Date] ; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions date.timezone = 0 that is the line you are looking for... or would if you had access to it. with the lines the other nice ppl provided, you do exactly the same, just not system wide.

It's like the ubunty hype, witch fails to state on the homepage: we're practically NOTHING without debian. Ubuntu = Debian + New Life you know, thats what I call BS. if something fails to do anything by itself.. it should've stayed @ home. Just look at patches and fixes. They only deliver when the debian maintainers 've a fix ready, and between 2 days to a week for the maintainers to get it into their own pool. The reason is simple... Hype! they sell a product witch claims to be more or less a lifestyle of simplicity like osx, however maintenance is a bitch who noone wants to ride, and the few who works on buntu rather sell the new stuff than fixing bogus, tiresome and lenghty faults on imported programs. Just for the sake of some rich dude that feels he need a momentum. I'm really getting it out now, cleaning the pipes you can say. Lol, Debian has a release cycle of 2 to 3 years. Ubuntu has a release cycle of 6 months. Personally I like the fast and furious releases when it's for my desktop. As for server needs... Debian is a better call for it's stabilty. Either way you comment It's like the ubunty hype, witch fails to state on the homepage: we're practically NOTHING without debian is a bit silly since Debian doesn't state we're practically nothing without the Linux kernel and GNU software. We are talking distributions here, not os. Debian supports all these underdogs, but ubuntu is the hyped saviour. I also fail to the whatever the release cycle got to do with... anything? You install once, shortly thereafter you just upgrade now and then. You want release cycles, go for the nighly builds. Count them, don't complain because the debian team fail to see the importance of release cycles. I can take a woody cd install and given the speed of this 100mbit line and 1.67 ghz ppc, I would say 30~40 minutes later I would be running sid. Now that would be fast and furious for you eh? I bet I actually got all the new packages... like ff apache any sql whatever on my testing approximatly 1 week before you got in on ubuntu. They are sickly dependable on all the debian devs to fix their shit and keep theyre hype. But I'll give you a taste of what both do say: Debian: Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux. Ubuntu: Ubuntu is a community developed, linux-based operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. It contains all the applications you need - a web browser, presentation, document and spreadsheet software, instant messaging and much more. Everybody loves raymond. Now analysis of the blurbs reveals that Debian attributes the Linux Kernel and GNU whereas Ubuntu attributes the community at large. Ask yourself which statement is more inclusive :) Community can easily be taken to include the kernel community, the GNU community, the Debian community and any other groups contributing. I'm sure this is the spirit in which the word community is used. Whereas the Debian blurb is more restrictive in it's interpretation. But don't get me wrong, I'm in no way pointing fingers at Debian, they probably have more attributions elsehwere as does Ubuntu. I just think it's silly to argue that Ubuntu owes everything to Debian when Ubuntu, Debian, GNU, the Linux Kernel, etc are all standing upon the shoulders of giants. And those giants are the community of individuals and organizations that give their time and resources to make it happen. There's nothing stopping Debian from integrating things in Ubuntu, that's the spirit of open source and sharing. Why would debian intergrate things in ubuntu, they run ubuntus show right now. Thats why all the ubuntu ppl are harrassing the debian mailinglist... oh wait, much like this. Time to get back to work... cheers btw =D Cheers, Rob. -- --- Børge Holen http://www.arivene.net -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
