I'm not an expert on all this, but it seems that it is because your
anti-alias method is against white, you really want it against
transparent.
I think it might be a bit off topic for discussion here but what
does your copyight.png look like?
Oh, one thing that might be important is what version of gd is php
compiled with?

How do you mean synchronous/asynchronous fashion?
PHP programming with mysql is different monster than using the
mysql C API.

I have had difficulty going to zend.com to download Zend Optimizer for
php-4.4.2 since last week. Anybody that have a copy of Zend Optimizer, I would
appreciate if you could provide me with a link to your server that I can
download a copy. TIA.

Have you contacted zend and told them you were having a problem ?
I'm sure they have an easy to fill in contact form on their site.

Hello!
I would like to know whether some limits on the mail function
could be set.
We host a lot of virtual hosts and some of our users send a lot
of messages by the mail() function. However I would like to
implement a limit such as max. 512 emails per virtualhost per hour.
Is it possible with PHP mail()?
Thanks for any help.

No, but you can configure the virtual hosts that PHP uses POP3 logins to
send mail.
Then you can configure your mail server like that.

Or you could update and increment a file/dbtable or something every mail
sent. That way you could disable the function when it reaches a limit.

The PHP mail() function will use sendmail/postfix/etc (your hosts MTA),
if you plan on using a mail relay i.e. an SMTP server to send mail, you
will have to use a SMTP class/script. I know that the PHPMailer script
has a SMTP section, although I have never used it. Check out that
project (I think its http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net) for some help.

Is on the windows machine a mail server installed?
Does this code work on your linux machine?
Be sure mail sending is allowed on your windows machine.
sendmail_from NULL PHP_INI_ALL
sendmail_path NULL PHP_INI_SYSTEM
Those ini variables must be set correctly in order to send mail on windows.

he Kurt,
Given the question you ask is very much a beginners question I assume that you
are not working for LCMG as a programmer? nothing wrong with that, per se
... BUT working for a large IT company you are expected to
realise that the whole internet community is not just there to answer you
your personal questions and fix your problems. so please address your questions
to
an appropriate forum [php-generals mailing list in this case] - i.e. not to
some
random stranger who email address you plucked from the internet because you
decided
you want them to help you. [that means replying to the list address and not me
if you want to response to my post]
(I'm pretty sure that LCMG wouldn't answer my IT questions if I just started
'cold-emailing' their techsupport - rather I first need a 200euro/hour support
contract before anyone will help me; <-- not to far from the truth?)

Hello,
I saw in the PHP newsgroup that you were having problems with the PHP Session.
I just started using PHP a few days ago and I have the following problem :
unless you found a 3 year old post I suspect you saw me (trying to) help
someone else who
was having Session related problems.
It seems that $_SESSION is not recognized. I read that I must use
session_start(); before I can save data. Is there anything else that has to be
done? I used the following code. Do you know what my be wrong?
seems? wht does is 'seem' - state the problem you actually experience,
verbalizing a gut instinct that something
'seems' to be 'not recognized' is rather vAgue and therefore pointless.
likely you are not yet familiar with the way php autocasts variables. e.g. look
what happens here:
echo ""; // echo an empty string
echo null; // echo a 'null'
echo false; // echo a boolean false
as opposed to:
var_dump($a = "");
var_dump($b = null);
var_dump($c = false);
<?php
session_start();
echo '<pre>';
var_dump(isset($_SESSION['LoggedIn']));
var_dump($_SESSION);
if (!isset($_SESSION['LoggedIn'])) {
$_SESSION['LoggedIn'] = false;
$UserLoggedIn = false;
} else {
$UserLoggedIn = $_SESSION['LoggedIn'];
}
echo $_SESSION['LoggedIn'];
echo '.';
echo $UserLoggedIn;
?>
learn to debug your code, start with the these functions:
print_r();
var_dump();
they will help you to figure out what your variable contain
while your script runs and thereby (usually) figure out why your
script is not doing what you expect.
unless you are using a an old version of PHP $_SESSION will exist in your
script after you call session_start().
Thanks,

Hi
I'm developing an app to administer LDAP (phpLdapAdmin is too complex for the
customer).
I have created an LDAP class, in a file class_ldap.php. It include methods for
connecting to the server, binding a DN (effectively login), and adding posix
groups.
I have an index.php with include_once 'class_ldap.php', which allows me to
login using the HTTP authentication mechanism.
The connect method stores the resulting connection resource in a global
variable (included in a config.php file).
When I then go to add the posix group (from add_group.php, that also includes
class_ldap.php), I find that the global connection variable is not valid.
My question is, do I need to connect and authenticate with the LDAP server
every time I want to perform an action, or is there a way to establish a
you need to establish a connection at the start of every request php handles,
typically you perform one [major] 'action' per request so the short answer is:
'yes'.
the connection to the LDAP server is a 'resource' type variable - php
'resources'
are only valid for the duration of the script.
connection for the user's session, that is cleared when the user logs out.
Many thanks,

Let me give an example:
on fileplanet.com, they have something so called "download slot"

there are too many users, they will disallow new user to
download their files. As I know, they do it with custom HTTP
server.
Not so custom ... Apache has quite a few bandwidth limiting
modules. I use mod_bandwidth to accomplish this.
I would suggest going this method instead of trying to chisel a

PHP list,
I wanted to adjust my register global settings in my php.ini file. I
found instructions on this page:
http://www.dmcinsights.com/phpmysql/phpini.php
The first thing it says to do is take a look at the results of
phpinfo(); to see where the php.ini file actually is.
So I created a phpinfo.php file, put in the following code:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
... and then accessed it through FireFox at localhost.
To my surprise, I got the following error message:
Warning: Unknown(/home/dave/web_sites/phpinfo.php): failed to open
stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/home/dave/web_sites/phpinfo.php' for
inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown
on line 0
It looks to be a permissions issue. But who has permission if not
me, and how is permission an issue when I'm just looking at the file
through a browser?
By the way, I'm using PHP 4.4.0-3 on Ubuntu 5.10.
Any advice or help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

So, what does this say:
$umask
and this:
$ ls -l /home/dave/web_sites/phpinfo.php
and are you using the browser to view the file via
a server (e.g., the browser address bar says "http://";),
or via the filesystem (you've opened it from an "explorer"
type window and the address bar says "file:///")....
Is PHP running as mod_php in apache, or CGI?
Finally, can you view other files in the same directory
via similar means?

Hi,
I try to use move_upload_file function with safe_mode (with PHP 4.3.10).
When I turn the safe_mode off, the function works fine, but when I turn it
back to on, the function doesn't work (with no error message).
When I read the documentation about safe_mode, I do not see any
restriction concerning the usage of move_upload_file function in this mode.
Does someone experienced this problem ?
Thank you.

I am using php as a cgi. The data from my html is piped through stdin using
this code:

The result I am getting looks like this: (which is correct)
sender_name=zedleon&[EMAIL PROTECTED]&sender_msg=This+is+a

What I need to do now is to convert the piped string into the individual

This works for me:
<?
$temp = 'sender_name=zedleon&[EMAIL PROTECTED]&
sender_msg=This+is+a+test&Submit=Submit';
$arr = array();
foreach (explode('&', $temp) as $v) {
$split = explode('=', $v);
// urldecode content for readability
$arr[$split[0]] = urldecode($split[1]); // create assoc. array
${$split[0]} = urldecode($split[1]); // form the variables
}
echo $sender_name . '<br/>' . $arr['sender_name']; ?>
That routine should create variables with the names of the arguments as well
as an associative array of the string
