Hi there silly question, I was wondering if there is such a php compiler
available like javac to compile php classes into bytecode so they are native
to the php module and dont need to be compiled, but without any extension
like turk to make it work ? Unfortunately I want this functionality so the
classes i include are already precompiled and dont need any parsing
whatsoever, and the systems guy doesnt understand the importance of caching
extensions :\ Let me know

No. The PHP to bytecode compiler is already part the Zend engine that
comes with every PHP version since PHP 4.0.0 . What extensions like
Turck do is to encode and decode the compiled bytecodes to and from files.
There is no such capability built in PHP because obviously the Zend
company wants to make money from selling their encoder. If such
functionality was made available in the PHP core, Zend would hardly make
any money from their encoder.
Now, if you really want a real PHP compiler, you may want to try
RoadSend PHP compiler. It generates standalone shared libraries from
your PHP code. It does not need the actual PHP runtime library to run.

Hello Everyone,
I would like to know if there is some way to write a script so that I can
input a Hex color code and have it output to RGB coordinates so as to
prevent users from having to search for the color codes? I will use that
feature so that I can create dynamic images.
Thanks in advance,
Ashwin Puroit.

It's fairly simple...
the hex color code is just: #RRGGBB
So use the string functions to separate out each color (probably substr)
then use hexdec to convert it into a decimal number.

I tried to make this image creation tool, but for some reason the background
color is not changing, even if I input new hex color codes into it (I tried
'substringing' them), the background always shows up black. The funny thing
is, at the end of the script, it shows the correct RGB values extracted from
the hex code. Any ideas?

I'm not sure why it isn't setting the background color properly. Is
everything else working ok?
That *looks* like it should work, though I haven't ever needed to set a
background color for any of my PHP/GD images before...

Hi People,
Just need a bit of direction to a resource or tutorial on this one please.
I have a .php page I don't want anyone being able to just open it unless
they've been through a previous page that is a disclaimer http referrer etc
come to mind but not exactly sure how to implement it in PHP.
You kind considerate suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, you could check the value of $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER'] but that's
not perfect. Instead, you could have the previous page contain a form
with a special hidden input. The form is submitted to the protected
page, where you check for that hidden input's value. If that protected
page doesn't receive $_POST data containing whatever meaningful data,
redirect them accordingly.
Hope that helps,
Larry

Yes.
Whether an integer is signed or unsigned is simply a matter of how you interpret the
32 bits representing it -- unsigned 3961595508 is represented in 32 bits in exactly
the same way as signed -333371788. This explains the results you are getting: PHP
*is* unpacking your binary(?) data as unsigned, but, as PHP doesn't have an unsigned
type, the only place it has to put the resulting 32-bit representation is in a PHP
integer, which is signed -- so when you print it, you get the signed representation.
To get PHP to print the unsigned representation of an integer, you can use the %u
format specifier of sprintf() (http://www.php.net/sprintf) or one of its *printf
friends.
Cheers!
