The HTML comment syntax does not affect PHP, and PHP comment syntax
does not affect HTML.

Taking a moment to explain the WHY of what's happening should help
you understand it a bit more, Cor. All HTML markup - including
comments - is parsed on the browser side, while PHP is done on the
server side. The server doesn't parse HTML at all, and PHP doesn't
have any knowledge of it's position within a script, or what else
exists outside of the <? ?> tags. Thus, PHP is parsed, compiled, and
executed prior to the web server serving the end-result as pure HTML,
which is then parsed by the browser upon receipt.

There seems to be some failure to comunicate (I believe the Prodigy said
that)... whatever, quotas on the universities will not keep you from
recieving mail... or download anything of the net. It just defines the space
available to the user. The temporary space available lets you pull way more,
and get a delete warning from either an automated system or an admin (at my
university, wasn't it 10 days or so before forced deletion on random objects
occured?... dunno).
Imagine an master or phD degree getting lost because someone set up an
university server with some weird download quota.
This could hardly be _A_ reason for makin' this blog... the amount of mail or
numbers should not be an issue. If it is so... how about them digest mails?

Good point, I think I am just using the "default" and size 1. Are there
other fonts? Where can I find the font file for imageloadfont()?
You'll need to find a TrueType font that supports Chinese characters.
See the imageloadfont & imagettftext pages in the manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imageloadfont.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php
characters coming through in $_GET ok?
echo $_GET[...]; is fine.
How *are* the characters coming through in $_GET?
May I ask what does this mean?
How is the string encoded (UTF-8, GB-2312, etc.)?
But i think you're problem lies with the font you're using. Once you
find a suitable font, you can point your script to it somewhere on the
server (it does not have to be under the DocumentRoot) to load it.

He's probably just trolling.
In any case I think that I remember the scene. Wasn't that just before
he double-timed his accomplices and gave them a booby-trapped weapon?
Lesson to be learned here, don't trust the immoral....

1) Something can be illegal without it being theft. The idea that "if it's
not theft then it must be OK" is the bullshit argument that I am pointing out
as bullshit.
2) No, I am not saying that copyright infringement is a good thing. Perhaps
you've heard of a concept called "hyperbole". Or one called "sarcasm". I
was pointing out that if copyright infringement counted as "theft" from
someone else who was paying for a licensed copy of X, then Pepsi having a
marketing campaign counted as "theft" from Coke because of lost sales. Both
are equally asinine statements. That's the point.
3) At no point in this conversation have I ever said that I engage in or
support copyright infringement, and I am insulted that you would accuse me of
such without any evidence or justification to back it up.
I am pointing out that you are saying things that are *factually inaccurate by
the laws of the United States*. And for that you accuse me of copyright
infringement and being immoral? That is without a doubt the most offensive
comment I've seen on this list so far. I would say I expect an apology, but
given that you fall back on insulting someone's ethics just because they
don't buy into the same lie that the media cartels have been spreading that
you do I won't hold my breath.
Really, I had expected more mature commentary from the adults on this list.

As a relatively-new contributor to this list (read: under 2
years), I realize that I have no business requesting a change, but
I'll breech etiquette and hope for the best.
Can we update the filters on the list to have the reply-to address
header marked to the php-general address? The reason I ask this is
because, when people are on vacation (such as Juan is now), we receive
responses to our personal addresses. Secondly, we have to continually
"Reply All" the messages, which - though it's not a problem - can
cause issues when attempting to respond to those "[URGENT]" replies.
Third, our addresses are included in gmane, et al, which is an
inherent risk --- I understand.
Maybe it's just the ramblings of someone attempting to read and
type on a limited-bandwidth mobile device while bored due to delays in
mass-transit facilities (here, read: I'm fucking exhausted, and yes, I
dropped the "F" bomb). In either case, it's not conducive to a new
contributor to have to weed through "vacation response" messages each
time he/she replies to the list.

Uhm, about that vacation response, it will only make things worser, as
then email sent to a user with a vacation message, will send a message
back to the list, which will be addressed to everyone on the list :P

Amen! A public discussion list (such as this one) really should have Reply-To
set correctly. All of the arguments against Reply-To headers apply only to
the 1% of the population still using mail clients written in the early 90s.
I'd love to not get double copies of every bloody reply to every thread I'm
involved in. It's just a waste of electrons and of my time.

I've been having this problem for a while now,
when I use transactions in SQLite with PDO it stalls on me with an error
stating my statements are in progress.
I've tried closing all cursors to my statements, but that does not seem
to resolve this for me. This is my code,
(obviously shortened quite a bit)
I hope someone could help me figure out what's going wrong, could it be
that I can't run an update yet because
the transaction has not been commited yet?? (sounds a bit odd to me)
<?php
// setup an SQLite db connection via PDO, this is in $db
try {
// $fileName, $fileDesc and $fileType are all existing, cleaned,
checked values
$statement = $db->prepare('INSERT INTO Files (file_name, file_desc,
file_type, file_filename) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)');
$statement->execute(array($fileName, $fileDesc, $fileType, ''));
$id = $db->lastInsertId();
$statement->closeCursor();
$res = move_uploaded_file($tmp_file, $new_file);
if($res === false) {
$db->rollBack();
echo 'error';
exit;
} else {
$statement = $db->prepare('UPDATE Files SET file_filename=? WHERE
file_id=?');
$statement->execute(array($new_file, $id));
$statement->closeCursor();
OG::$db->commit();
}
} catch(Exception $e) {
var_dump($e);
}
And the Exception I recieve (there is only one commit in the file, due
to shortening for posting
the line listed here is incorrect):
object(PDOException)#7 (7) {
