[PHP] function/class to convert IDN (Puny-Code)?

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello,

while reading RFC3490 (plus 3454/3491/3492) and before I am  ongoing  to
reinvent the wheel here the question:

Does someone HAVE or know a function/class which
does the IDN conversion "toASCII" and "toUNICODE"?

Note:   The C Source-Code is included in RFC3492 and
can more or less easily converted to PHP.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening

How exactly are you setting the opacity for the image? The traditional
way is to use imagecolorallocatealpha() on the source.

Re: [PHP] GD - import a PNG image and make transparant

[Karl DeSaulniers]

Hi Alex,
I have a php file I made just a few months ago.
It takes a gif, jpeg or png of any size and sizes it proportionately  
to a specified size and then outputs a png.
If the image is a transparent png or transparent gif, it will still  
hold the transparency.
This is just a test page and it tested ok for me, but it is my first  
one. I also tested it on PHP 5. Dont know about compatibility to  
older versions.

Knowing that, here you go.

[PHP] GD - import a PNG image and make transparant

[Alex Davies]

Hi,

I am trying to import a PNG image from disk, place it on top of a
transparant image created in GD and output it to the browser. In the case of
a low opacity setting, I would expect to see the background colour from the
HTML page.

If I set the opacity to 0, everything works - I end up with a transparant
image.

However, if I set it for any value >0 (even 1) instead of  a
very-faint-image the whole thing goes black. As the opacity level goes up
from 0, the amount of black reduces and the amount of imported image
increases - but this is not what I want.

I am using this code:



The images that this outputs, at opacity levels 0,1 and 80 on a red and
green background (screenshots of a HTML page) can be downloaded from
http://www.box.net/shared/h9zn4tjgro

Any help appreciated!

No. I created a little miniscule dumping ground for some useful scripts *I*
use, and if someone else can use them, then feel free. I don't support
them. I don't even pretend to maintain them once posted. They are what they
are.

I make 6+ figures and have so for years. I'm not a freelancer. My

No. Examples of my "work" are what I get PAID for. This is simply a

Yes I do. I won't get into an OS war with you though.

XP is the best OS thus far. Everything in the world supports it. It is
stable and fast. 

As for browser, I use FF for developing (mostly for Firebug) and some
flavor of IE (usually all three to test with) as that is what most people
still use. IE6 is still the standard default browser Panasonic uses (that's
5000 users alone). Many other large enterprise companies also stick with
XP/IE6. Only slowly are they migrating to IE8.

Not blaming at all. Just saying that while you see "inline" JS or CSS, it's
actually not as it appears. Some of that is generated in routines or loops.

No. I don't "want" you to do anything. I offered up some free code. Take it
or leave it. If you want it, then the least you can do is use the required
browsers (which mostly everyone has already installed) to get to it. In
fact, if you're such a die-hard Safari user, just change your USER_AGENT
string and it will probably work. No sweat off my balls if you don't.

Post a regex and what you think it should match but doesn't.




Again...

Why don't you show us an example of what it is you are trying to  
match this
against. Then, after that example, show us what you would like to  
see as the

output.

Then, send us a copy of the code you are trying to use to make it  
all happen.

It might be better to use some of the DOM functions for something  
like this. You can pull out specific tags and tag content as you  
need. It's better to rely on DOM functions for these sorts of  
things than using regular expressions.

It depends what you need to do. If you want to match specific tags,  
then
something like getElementsByTagName() (I believe this function  
exists in

the set of DOM functions) would very easily grab all those tags so you
can work on them. I don't see much that a regex could do here that the
DOM can't handle.

I'm sorry Jim, but as majority of regexp, I can't explain you what I want with 
words...

I simply want to pick specific text at  very specific places inside the html.

 

I'm sending you to your email the html and regex so you can test it if you want 
:)

 

Thanks.

Doing it in PHP is like to be "doing it with extra fluff". Mod_rewrite
is designed for rewriting and it does it well. Doing the same job in
PHP is likely to use more resources and be more complex.

In short: using mod_rewrite for url rewriting is not "overkill" - it's
using the proper tool for the job.

Peter

[PHP] Generating PHP from WSDL

[Gary .]

Let's if anyone can come up with a non-brittle solution to this.

In order to create the framework code for a webservice client I
have generated it from the server's wsdl. Unfortunately the wsdl
(which is out of my control) tries to use "extension base=..."
to say that 'B' "extends"/"inherits from " 'A', and the tool I
use doesn't understand it, with the result that the generated
code doesn't include that relatonship, and so sending a 'B' to
the webservice doesn't work because it doesn't also include the
expected properties of 'A'.

Possible solutions I have thought of are:

* create 'C', inheriting from 'A' and 'B' and send one of those
  instead, but of course php doesn't support multiple-inheritance;

* manually change 'B' so that it does inherit from 'A'. I don't
  like this because if the wsdl changes then that client-side
  code needs to again be changed manually.

* use composition instead. Doesn't seem it will work because the
  marshalling of the objects seems to want to use the properties
  directly (i.e. instead of using getters as it "should" do).

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Are there any generators out there that handle something like:

 
 
...

and produce nusoap client code?

Re: [PHP] PHP Encoder like IonCube

It just obfuscates. Long ago I created a decoder for this type of encoder.
Every day I got 100s of decoding requests.
After changing my domain and hosting company I didn't upload it yet.

I think bcompiler is better.

RE: [PHP] __call and recursion

[Lawrance Shepstone]

Hi Daniel,

Could you please tell us what version of PHP and OS you're using.

The following code fragment runs as expected on my PHP 5.3.2/Windows/XP/32bit:

method_a('argument');

$a->method_b('argument');

?>

Results in:

private method_a('argument') called ...
method 'method_b' either does not exist, or is not callable ...


Perhaps if you provided some code we could spot the problem.

I would guess there's something fishy in your __call() method.

Best of luck,
Lawrance

__call() is receiving $method.

Do you alter $method in any way?

If not, calling call_user_func(array($this, $method), $args) will
simply call the non-existent function.

Here's the original: http://www.pastie.org/pastes/956801

I haven't yet checked that the encoded version works!

Re: [PHP] PHP Encoder like IonCube

[Peter Lind]

Output looks pretty typical for something encrypted/obfuscated. As the
script will run, it needs to unpack itself ... so you can write
automated unpackers for this kind of thing if you want.

Best go with Phpsters advice of the contract, you'd be a lot better
off (assuming the court system works).

Try searching for pcre:

  Upgraded bundled PCRE to version 8.00.

Version 5.3.0
  Upgraded bundled PCRE to version 7.9.

Version 5.2.13

  Fixed bug #44336 (Improve pcre UTF-8 string matching performance).

Version 5.2.6
  Upgraded PCRE to version 7.6

Version 5.2.5
  Upgraded PCRE to version 7.3

Version 5.2.4
  Upgraded PCRE to version 7.2

Version 5.2.2
  Upgraded PCRE to version 7.0

Version 5.2.0
  Updated PCRE to version 6.7

... so it looks like between PHP 5.1 and 5.3.2 you have at least 2 major 
version upgrades of the PCRE library, so the previously referenced 
http://www.pcre.org/changelog.txt is more than likely what you need to be 
looking at.
