Hi there,
I am presently coding a little CMS. I want to give users the
possibility to add images to articles as easily and flexibly as
possible.
Does anyone have a recommendation on how to do it? So far, you can
upload an image which then is checked for its dimensions. If
necessary, the user is redirected to a flash tool that enables you to
resize the image (imagemagick), a given aspect ratio is kept. A thumb is created and
those two files
are written to the database.
I also write the alignment to the database as chosen during upload. And I have a
template
system that replaces tags like #img1# in a template with a table
to nicely display the images from the db.
The only problem is: how do I allow users to insert those images in
the text? If I work with a fixed template, the number of images in an
article is limited... I have thought about using buttons that you
could press while editing the text that would then capture the cursor
position in the textarea. But that would only work in IE and is not a
very nice solution...
Thank you for your suggestions...

Hi Sam,
I am not sure I know what you want to do...
I tried to recreate your problem:
test.html
<form name="myform1" method="get" action="">
<input type="hidden" name="myvar1" value="testing">
<script>
window.open("test2.html", "test");
</script>
</form>
test2.html
<BODY onLoad="document.forms[0].submit();">
<form name="myform1" method="get" action="test3.html">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="do_preview" VALUE="1">
<script>
document.write('<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="itworks"
VALUE="'+opener.myform1.myvar1.value+'">');
</script>
</FORM>
</BODY>
test3.html
<script language="Javascript">
function parseQueryString (str)
{
str = str ? str : location.search;
var query = str.charAt(0) == '?' ? str.substring(1) : str;
var args = new Object();
if (query)
{
var fields = query.split('&');
for (var f = 0; f < fields.length; f++)
{
var field = fields[f].split('=');
args[unescape(field[0].replace(/\+/g, ' '))] =
unescape(field[1].replace(/\+/g, ' '));
}
}
return args;
}
var args = parseQueryString ();
for (var arg in args)
{
document.write(arg + ': ' + args[arg] + '<BR>');
}
</script>
And the output is:
do_preview: 1
itworks: testing
As should be expected...
Pls try to specify your problem.

Hi Toby!
Thank you for your suggestion, but unfortunately you are using GET in your test2.html
file. I specifically stated in my initial email that due to the fact that I am using
textareas in my original form (your test1.html) that I did not want to use GET for it
might run the risk of overstepping the bounds of how many characters the browser will
accept in the GET string.
Any other suggestions that anyone else has would be most appreciated as I am still
pretty stuck on this.
As always, thanks in advance!
--Sam

Hi Sam,
I did that only because I was too lazy to upload and did the testing
locally so I could grab the value in Javascript.
Of course it works with post as well...
test.html
<form name="myform1" method="get" action="">
<input type="hidden" name="myvar1" value="testing">
<script>
window.open("test2.html", "test");
</script>
</form>
test2.html
<BODY onLoad="document.forms[0].submit();">
<form name="myform1" method="post" action="test.php">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="do_preview" VALUE="1">
<script>
document.write('<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="itworks"
VALUE="'+opener.myform1.myvar1.value+'">');
</script>
</FORM>
</BODY>
test.php
<?
print_r($_POST);
?>
Outputs:
Array ( [do_preview] => 1 [itworks] => testing )

this is my first post, so please bear with me.
I'm developing a Mayan Oracle based on PHP and MySQL. the program and
database work perfectly, and do all I want them to. however, the thing
has a graphical interface that I built using Macromedia Fireworks and
Dreamweaver, with some images chaning along with other things, and
this is the part that's faulty.
the program checks whether a form has been filled. if not, it displays
the form. if it has, it then validates, and on a false shows the form
again. on a true, it does lots of processing and MySQL checking, and
then shows the output page.
both form pages along with the output page are included as different
files to facilitate graphical edition. all the snippets of actual
human language are included in another external file, to facilitate
addition of languages.
the form pages are both one page, form.php, which distinguishes
between first and second filling in case of invalid data. the output
page is called canvas.php, and right now I have canvas.php as
completely static, and canvas2.php with all the coding needed to
display properly. the main program, 01.php, does not send the client
any code in itself (just the included files in their entirety, alone).
THE PROBLEM: when I load the canvas.php page independently in
Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape and Explorer it displays perfectly. the
problem comes when I load this file through 01.php, and then it gets
rumbled up. I've seen this on most computers with
Firefox/Mozilla/netscape, and not on Explorer. what the hell? any hel
would be welcome.
I have http://200.39.201.43/hideout/project/final/01.php pointing to
the static canvas.php and
http://200.39.201.43/hideout/project/final/02.php pointing to the
dynamic canvas2.php
if you can sort this out I'll be eternally grateful. I'll post the
programs on request - they're quite large for mailing.
thanks in advance,

Post some code as to what you're trying to open.
Does your webserver have read permission on the directory / file that
you're trying to open?
Please wrap your lines.

The directory it's in is under the apache doc directory

What are the permissions on the directory and the file? Can your

May be the cause is, that you've specified some include file with
include('somefile');
but the file doesn't exist in /usr/share/php dir, which is the default path
for include (.inc) files to be saved.
Hope that helps

Look at php.ini and check the settings for the auto_prepend_file. If it is
set, check that the file exists.

Hi,
I downloaded a class from php classes called "clssendmail", the class was
working on a different server
but now I get this error when I try to use it:
"Call to undefined function: imap_8bit() in............."
The class is basically to send an email in 2 parts, plain text and HTML...if
the person has html off or cannot view html email then the plain text one
will display else the HTML part will display.
After googleing I see that sometimes PHP is not compiled with Imap_8bit
which causes this problem...:-(
This is the troublesome part:
///////
function addHtmlBodyPart($html) {
$this->bodyParts["text/html"]="<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML
4.0 Transitional//EN\">\n<html><head><meta http-equiv=Content-Type
content=\"text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\"><META content=\"MSHTML
6.00.2800.1276\"
name=GENERATOR></head><body>".imap_8bit($html)."</body></html>";
}
/////
Any work around to this problem or any idea of another class that does what
this is supposed to do and will work
on all servers? I also downloaded manuel lemos collection of mime classes
but thats toooo damn powerful for my
little task..couldnt understand half of what was in there.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers.

Yes, IMAP extension is optional but fortunately it is not necessary for
what you want.
Just try this other class that comes with an example to do exactly what
you want. Check the HTML message example as it explains how to compose
and send a message with an HTML part and an alternative text part. It
may also embed any images or attachment files if you want:

PHP listers,
I recently got some help here to fix a str_replace() command.
The string works, and the output from the browser looks right. However,
I would like to further tweak the code so that the HTML source is also a
little cleaner than it is now.
The code in question is this:
$charInfoCss = "<p class=\"content\">" . str_replace("\n", "</p>\n<p
class=\"content\">", $charInfo[introE]) . "</p>";
echo $charInfoCss . "\n";
The way this outputs to the HTML source is like this:
<p class="content">blah blah blah blah
</p>
<p class="content">blah blah blah blah
</p>
<p class="content">blah blah blah blah
</p>
Shouldn't the syntax that I have place the new line *after* the
</p> tag? I'm trying to get it to look like this:
<p class="content">blah blah blah blah</p>
<p class="content">blah blah blah blah</p>
<p class="content">blah blah blah blah</p>
Any advice would be most welcome.

Well, you asked for it. The usage of str_replace() is not exactly rocket
science, since the output is not what you expected just juggle your search &
replacement strings until it does what you want.

I think you're confusing the issue. PEAR DB does support many databases,
but it only loads the code for the ones that you are currently using. So
if you're using one database it is effectively a one database API.

Yes things are really not that bad. However expect to give up somewhere
a fairly significant amount of performance. If you are using an
abstraction layer you have to do it with a good reason (you need to
support multiple databases mainly :-) ).
Here is a benchmark John Lim came up with:
http://phplens.com/lens/adodb/
It only tests MySQL though and it implements a very unrealistic
scenario. The reason that ADODB scores so high can be read here:

This will only work if the mail client does not have an option to turn off
external downloads/links when viewing html mail. So the above method will
unsubscribe all your smart users leaving behind the dumb ones!

Is there any way to delete (unset) a function?
I want to write some function with one constantyl defined name, then call a
function_manager function, that will gice this function an unique name, than
delete the original function, so I can start the process from the beginning.
I will call this function through a wrapper, which will find the function I
need.
Thanks
Dimi.

Hi, I've got a session problem that I don't understand.
Here's the setup. There are 2 frames, frame1 and frame2 (within frame1).
Frame1 is simply a static html page like the following:
<frameset rows="0,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="http://mysite.ca/blank.html"; name="topFrame" scrolling="NO"
noresize >
<frame src="http://mysite.ca/getPage.php?siteid=33&page=homepage";
name="mainFrame">
</frameset>
Frame 2 is the php file, namely getPage.php. In this php file, it starts
the session and does some initialization to set the session variables. The
php code is executed before any HTML code is outputted. So the session
variables have been all set. It looks something like this:
<frameset rows="0,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="blank.html" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize >
<frame src="<?=$mypage;?>?mode=view" name="mainFrame">
</frameset>
so $mypage is actually a dynamic string to another PHP page.
The problem is, this $mypage that frame2 opens depends on the session
variables that I've set at the beginning of frame2. And I realized that the
session id of $mypage is not the same as that of frame2. So the variables
will not load. So if i call up frame1 on the browser, $mypage will not get
the session variables of frame2.
The funny thing is that if i simply load up the url
http://mysite.ca/getPage.php?siteid=33&page=homepage, i.e. the URL of
frame2, $mypage actually DOES get those variables and have the same session
id.
Although I've solved the problem using a hacked method (passing the session
id to $mypage using GET), I'm wondering if there's anything wrong with the
setup that causes the diverse outcomes.
Thanks for any kind of response.
Chris

Hi, I'm building a very simple online store and I need expiring
download pages for people to download the items they purchased.
Surprisingly, I couldn't find an example of this code online.
I know how to do it in Lasso, and it's quite easy. You just search the
database against download attempts or expiration time/date, and if it
succeeds, return this (it's Lasso code but you get the idea):
[Output_None]
[Var: 'file' = (Include_Raw: 'pathname/sourcefile.zip')]
[Var: 'filename' = 'product.pdf']
[Var: 'content_type' = 'application/pdf']
[Header]
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Server: Lasso/6.0
Content-Type: [$content_type]
Content-Length: [$file->Length]
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="[$filename]"
[/Header]
[/Output_None][$file]
Can anyone suggest the PHP code for this?
