Rainer,
Here is sample code for placing a .jpg image in pdf. Anyone out there get
.gif images to work. I tried the code below without results (PHP Version
4.0.4pl1 running as cgi on Win NT).
$fp = fopen("test.pdf", "w"); // pdf file to be
created
$pdfObject = PDF_open($fp); // creation
of pdf oblject
PDF_begin_page($pdfObject, $pageWidth, $pageHeight); // Start First Page
PDF_add_outline($pdfObject, "Page 1"); // Add Bookmark for
Indexing
// JPG example
$im = PDF_open_jpeg($pdfObject, "imageName.jpg"); // Assign image to
variable
pdf_place_image($pdfObject, $im, 100, 300, 1); // Place image
pdf_close_image($pdfObject, $im); // close image
// GIF example
$im = PDF_open_gif($pdfObject, "apache_pb.gif"); // Assign image to variable
pdf_place_image($pdfObject, $im, 100, 300, 1); // Place image
pdf_close_image($pdfObject, $im); // close image
PDF_end_page($pdfObject); // End Page
PDF_close($pdfObject); // Close PDF Object
fclose($fp); // Close PDF File

You should first open the image with pdf_open_image_file pdf_place_image
expects a handle to an already opend image. The PDFlib manual which
comes with the PDFlib sourcedistribution contains some examples.

_______PDFlib - a library for generating PDF on the fly________
I've never tried, but I'm wandering if it is related to the GIF licensing issue
that forced GIF's out of the GD libraries - does anyone know if the same
happenned to the PDF libraries?

Hello PHP-users,
given the following code snippet to convert ISO-date-strings to localized
date-strings:
<?php
$stringArray = explode("-", "1985-01-01");
$month = $stringArray[1];
$day = $stringArray[2];
$year = $stringArray[0];
$date = mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day,$year);
$value = strftime("%d.%m.%Y", $date);
echo $value;
?>
This code works fine as long as I use dates after 1970, all earlier
dates result in an empty value.
According to the docs, mktime is supposed to work fine with 4-digit
dates.
What is the problem here...
Greetings,
Dirk
Dirk:
Date/time values in PHP are handled as UNIX timestamps, that is, the
number of seconds since what they call the UNIX Epoch (whatever it
means), in other words, 1970. Before that, nothing existed, so no
need for time.
Saludos,
Pablo

Hi,
I am trying to get US date out of a DATETIME column but it returns "12/31/1969". The
line of code that I am using is:
<?php echo date("m/d/Y", $Row->FileSentDate); ?>
According to the documentation, the second parameter of the date() function requires
timestamp value which is int data type. If any of you know how to convert a value
into timestamp or any other solution to get US date out of a string or DATETIME
column, please let me know.
Thanks for your help.

in php u can convert it via:
int mktime (int hour, int minute, int second, int month, int day, int year
[, int is_dst])
the return-value is unix-timestamp

u can also use a simple SQL-Query (i.e. in MySQL):
"SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(datetimefield) AS unixtime FROM table"
so SQL return a unix-timestamp instead of a pre-formated datetime string ;)

Hopes this solves your probs ;)

I've personally found that whenever you use "variable-variables" you a
probably better off using an array.
if you have
$tag_num[1] = 12345;
$tag_type[1] = "My Type of tag";
$tag_cost[1] = 1.23;
$tag_num[2] = 98654;
$tag_type[2] = "Not my Type of tag";
$tag_cost[2] = 1.66;
$tag_num[3] = 109876;
$tag_type[3] = "Unknown tag";
$tag_cost[3] = 1.77;
reset($tag_num);
while(list($key,$value) = each($tag_num)){
$tag_cost[$key] = round($tag_cost[$key],2);
echo "The KEY is $key and the VALUE is $value<br>\n";
// Now do your SQL stuff
}
This is a bit messy because if you dont have a $tag_num it'll ignore
tag_type and $tag_cost. I prefere to use 2D arrays, im assuming the $tag_num
is some sort of unique identifier..
<?
$tag["12345"]["type"] = "My type of Tag";
$tag["12345"]["cost"] = "1.23";
$tag["98654"]["type"] = "Not my type of Tag";
$tag["98654"]["cost"] = "1.66";
$tag["109876"]["type"] = "Unknown Tag";
$tag["109876"]["cost"] = "1.77";
while(list($key,$data) = each($tag)){
$data["cost"] = round($data["cost"],2);
//$tag[$key]["cost"] = round($data["cost"],2); // This will modify the
original array, but not $data["cost"]
echo "The tag is $key, the type is {$data['type']} and the cost is
{$data['cost']}<br>\n";
//echo "The tag is $key, the type is $data[type] and the cost is
$data[cost]<br>\n"; // This will work but im not sure how correct it is.
// Do your SQL thang
}
?>
These are very useful as you can unset($tag["109876"]) to get rid of data
and since you arent using a sequential for() loop you dont have to worry
about missing data.
This one comes down to taste though. I like the 2d arrays because they are
similiar to data sets from your db or a spreadsheet.
