Wow... I knew PHP4 was old, but since 1946? It's amazing people still
use PHP4, and it's 65 years old now.

didn't/haven't opened the link above)

I've been coding PHP since 1948.

Hello everyone,
I am having the difficult time trying to figure out how to detract an
max user license when my script tries to connect to our Pervasive
database through an ODBC connector. I am looking for a way to ignore
the error if one arise and continue on with the code.
Here is what I have so far
if($conn = odbc_connect($aei_db, $user, $pass))
{
$sql_open_jobs = "select distinct jh.part, jh.date_due,
jd.job, jd.seq, jd.employee, jd.description, jd.Date_Sequence
from v_job_header jh, v_job_detail jd
where jd.job = jh.job and
jh.date_closed='1900-01-01' and jd.job not like '%IND%' and jd.suffix =
jh.suffix";
$rs_open_jobs = odbc_exec($conn, $sql_open_jobs);
echo $refresh_message;
}
else
{
if(!($conn = odbc_connect($aei_db, $user, $pass)))
{
$refresh_message = "This page has not been refreshed
since: " . date("h:i");
echo $refresh_message;
$have_license = false;
}
}
Thanks in advance

I'm currently using Google Visualization API[1] to generate both
interactive and static charts for a client and they're viewing these
online[2]. However they now want to be able to download a PDF
containing the charts (static) in it. Does anyone know of a way where I
can take the same API and create a PDF document instead?
I've worked with fpdf[3] in the past to create PDFs on the fly so
that's no problem. The problem is figuring out how to get the charts in
such a way that I can shove them into the PDF.

Convert the chart to an image and then insert that into the pdf

Googles API creates an image which you can save locally and insert
into a PDF that you create with something like fpdf. There are plenty
of functions in PHP which can be used for this, such as fread(), etc.
That's the thing, I know it does, but how do I capture that. It's
all done through their javascript code:
new
google.visualization.ImagePieChart(document.getElementById('visualization')).
draw(data, {is3D: true, height: 250});
}
When that runs, it looks for the element 'visualization' to put the
graph in:
<div id="visualization"></div>
So how do I go about capturing the image instead of it being
written to the doc.
PS, if anyone replies can they leave this line in. I've been trying to
contact Dan Brown because my email server seems to have been blocked
by php.net, so none of my replies to the list ever get through.
Dan Brown, calling Dan Brown ...

The image's url is
http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chs=400x200&chdl=Work%7CEat%7CCommute%7CWatch%20TV%7CSleep&chdlp=r&chco=3399CC%2C80C65A%2CFF0000%2CFFCC33%2CBBCCED%2C3399CC%2C990066%2CFF9900&chd=e%3A..LoLoLoot
Google has an example too ...
https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=p3&chd=t:60,40&chs=250x100&chl=Hello|World
See the difference?
In your example, the chd value is e:..LoLoLoot
In their example, the chd value is t:60,40
So, e = encoded, t = text.
So ...
$imgBinary =
file_get_contents('http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chs=400x200&chdl=Work%7CEat%7CCommute%7CWatch%20TV%7CSleep&chdlp=r&chco=3399CC%2C80C65A%2CFF0000%2CFFCC33%2CBBCCED%2C3399CC%2C990066%2CFF9900&chd=e%3A..LoLoLoot');
or
$imgBinary =
file_get_contents('https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=p3&chd=t:60,40&chs=250x100&chl=Hello|World');
I've been playing with Google Maps and they document the polyline
encoding algorithm fairly well. I'm sure they would have done the same
for the chd ... and here it is
http://code.google.com/apis/chart/docs/data_formats.html
So. Easy peasy.

Not exactly. Those examples are not from the Visualization API - it's
two different things. The API is written so that one does not have to generate
those parameters individually and then pass them through POST/GET to Google.
It's cleaner and faster to work with. The code for the Visualization API is
very different from the code the regular Chart API uses.

Yes it is. Ish.
The api generates the URL. Once the URL is generated and the image is
displayed you can grab it using JS and push it to the server to use.
Do you want to do all the work on server and not in the browser? Then
you have to learn the params. That way, you won't need a client to
grab the URL first.
It really isn't very difficult.

hi,
the easiest way to convert a html (even with advance css styling) to
pdf is http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ i guess.
you may need, exec() function and bit of shell scripting.

Is there a workaround for 32bit systems wanting to use
fopen()
is_file()
filesize()
and i am sure there are others.. on files that are > 2gb?
My development box is win visat 64bit, and i dont have any issues, when
i ported it to my test live server, it is running 5.2.8 32bit, and it is
not reading the files :(
any assistance? besides upgrading to a 64bit php version.

well... my testing live server is slackware 12.2 (i think? it's my
unraid server) i installed php from
http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/slackware/slackware-12.2/slackware/n/php-5.2.8-i486-1.tgz
Normally, I use debian, but I am doing something else this time... long
story...

AND they have a condition (this reported) that could cause (fail to

"Legacy" configurations remain when ISPs don't want to force customers to
do the code changes that might be necessary to upgrade
It runs. I'd rather not do the changes necessary to go to PHP5 now. But I
cannot add an edit HTML via forms feature to the administration until this

HOW COULD THIS POSSIBLY HAPPEN. They must have something messed up in the
PHP configuration. What is it?
