In the past I've been using TextPad and UltraEdit but really want
something that picks up on PHP syntax and function spelling (eg
Homesite would 'bold' a function word if it was splt correctly).



Just download the PHP syntax file for TextPad.

Why not just use IP?
I created a nice system, whereby if your IP is changed (or someone is
hacking your session), the session is destroyed, and the user must log in.
Does not add much overhead either.

Also, I built it using database (using my own session functions in
savehandler), that stores the ip as well.
This prevents people snooping.

Still not 100% secure I imagine, but much better.

I sent this email out earlier this morning and got no response. It was quite
early so I thought I would send it again now that more people are hopefully
at work :-)





I have been trying to figure out the best way to resize photo quality images
to thumbnail size and have them come out looking good. I have read about the
function "  >

imagecreatetruecolor()" and it looks like it may do this. However I do not
have GD 2 installed which is required for this function to work. In the
process of trying to figure out how to install GD v2 I came across the
following page.



http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php


 >



On this page is says;







 "Since PHP 4.3 there is a bundeled version of the GD lib. This bundeled
version has some additional features like alpha blending and should be used
in preference to the external library since it's codebase is better
maintained and more stable."







I thought the most recent version of php was 4.2.2?







Anyway if there is a better way to resize images to create "high quality"
thumbnails I would love to hear about it. I am on a redhat 7.3 server and
not very familiar with linux. I would prefer not to have to take the time
involved in learning how to install new packages right now, but realize this
may be unavoidable.







Thanks in advance for any help.

I think mailing list managers like Yahoo, ezmlm, etc all have "features" in

Probably there is a header or two that PHP automatically sets which makes
the mailing lists suspicious... or something!! I don't know enough about
email to really come up with an answer!!!

You could try setting some headers similar to what your email client sets,
to see if it's something "missing"... or try sending yourself an email from
a php script and analysing the headers it sets.

It could also be the lack of a return address or something similar that
throws the lists off too.

RE: [PHP] how to have a form keep values when user hits back button?

[Dave at Sinewaves.net]

A better, NON-CLIENT-SIDE way to do it, is you could have the page you're
submitting to write the POST values to a session.

So the top lines of your form handler page would be something like:

 $val)
{
if($val != '')
{
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$key] = $val;
}
}
?>

And on your form page, populate the VALUE fields of the form with
conditional statements evaluating the session variables.  Like so:



...or a quick n dirty way (suppressing errors):



For checkboxes, it's just a minor change:
>


One caveat to consider:

If the user returns to the form and changes checkbox values to the unchecked state, 
when the form is posted the variable will not be reposted with an empty value.  Form 
checkboxes only post if they are checked, and then they evaluate to 'on' - if it is 
unchecked, there will be no $HTTP_POST_VARS value for that field.  So in the above 
session writing code, before you set the session variables with the POSTed data, you 
should loop through all of the existing session vars, setting them to ''.  Take care 
to exclude the variables that you are using to keep the user authenticated, or to 
store the other data that you will need site wide.  Like this:

 $val)
{
// just an example of some session vars you might include
$persistent_sitewide_session_vars = array ('loggedinstatus', 'userid', 
'browser');

// well use a counter to make sure we're keeping track correctly
$counter=sizeof($persistent_sitewide_session_vars);

// Loop through each of your persistent 
// site-wide session vars
foreach($persistent_sitewide_session_vars as $key_p => $val_p)
{
// if the current session var is one of 
// the session vars you need site wide, 
// set it to itself and exit loop
if($HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$key] == 
$persistent_sitewide_session_vars[$key_p])
{
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$key] = $val;
break;
}
$counter--;
}

// if you know you looped through all the variables
// and none of your persistent variables were found, 
// it's safe to reset the session var to a blank var
if($counter == 0)
{
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$key] = '';
}
}


// NOW YOU CAN ADD YOUR CODE TO SET SESSION VARS 
// WITH THE POSTED FORM VARIABLES

?>


It's a bit bulky, but it does work like a charm.  Remember to add start_session() to 
the top of the form page if it's not there already!

Happy form hacking!

Dave

Subject: Re: [PHP] how to have a form keep values when user hits back

As others have probably told you, you can't rely on the back button and 
don't try to disable it, it's part of the user interface. The user 
really needs to live with the fact that if they leave the page, they 
will lose the data entered.

However, there is a way to retain the data as they enter it. You can use 
Javascript to write the data to cookies as they enter it. This means 
setting traps on every field, checkboxes and radio button would have an 
onClick, data entry fields would have an onBlur (is that write?). So as 
they enter the data, it is save in local cookies.
You would also want to add an onLoad trap on the page to check for and 
read the cookies if present to populate the fields. Most people aren't 
used to cookies management via Javascript, so it may be a little 
daunting at first. But this will work. If cookies javascript
 are enabled
that is.

RE: [PHP] GD lib. image quality!

[Dave at Sinewaves.net]

 imageCreate will create an image, but its palette will be very limited, so
when you try to copy your photo onto it, it will maintain the palette of the
original picture.  Obviously, this is not what you want, since the picture
comes out looking all grey and faded (probably 8-16 colors!).

What works for me is creating a blank image using imageCreate(), then saving
it as a temporary jpeg (using imageJpeg). This action will set the palette
of the image to a jpeg's palette (close to 16-bit or better colorspace).  If
you imageCopyResized over this temp.jpg (which you need to create whenever
you run the script to ensure sizing is perfect), it will come out with the
full palette of colors.

Pseudo code:



Then all you have to do is a little cleanup with imageDestroy() and you
should have a nice looking thumbnail!


I usually add a line like this to the script to make sure everything went
smoothly:
Thumbnail Generator'
.''
.'';
?>

It lets me see the quality of the thumbnail the second the script completes.


Try it - you'll get perfect thumbnails every time.  I used this technique
for all of the pictures at www.arkestraclandestina.com with GD1.6 - and all
of them actually had custom color profiles!  Works like a charm.

I like this method because I can be sure that the script won't break on
sites with older PHP and GD versions - which is an important consideration
when you're deploying applications to other sites...

However!  If you are sure it will only be run on a PHP4, GD2 system, you can
avoid all of the temp jpg madness altogether by just altering your code to
use imageCreateTrueColor() instead of imageCreate()!!  ;P  Easy as pie!

php.ini --> auto_prepend_file, auto_append_file

[PHP] Banner Ad Serving...

[Dave at Sinewaves.net]

Is there any way of automatically adding a certain bit of code to every page
on a web server (or within a given directory)?

As in, is there any kind of Apache-specific PHP stuff that will add a banner
ad or copyright notice to pages (without editing the actual pages themselves
and without changing their file names)?  I've looked around a bit, and I
can't seem to brainstorm how it could be done.

Any help will be greatly appreciated (with good karma to boot). :)

[PHP] parsing

[Dave at Sinewaves.net]

Okay,

I want to know if anybody has a clue which is more efficient,
processorwise/parsingwise:

this:
--
echo
"".$somevar."".$somevardesc."";

or this:
--
echo "{$somevar}{$somevardesc}";


I almost always use the first method (just seems more readable to me), but
with all of the discussion popping up about curly brackets, i was wondering
if it really makes a difference?  Any vets out there care to put in their
$0.02?

[PHP] NEVERMIND! [PHP] problems with variable variables...

[Dave at Sinewaves.net]

Nevermind!

I figured out the curly bracket syntax...

Doh!  It was buried in the manual the whole time!

[PHP] problems with variable variables...

[Dave at Sinewaves.net]

I'm having a huge problem with getting variable variables to work.

Here's what the code looks like...

// This is set from a previous array...
/
$the_variablename[0] = "processors";

// Now I include a file called vars.processors.php
// (which contains an array called processors[] )
/
include("vars.".$the_variablename[0].".php");

Everything works fine so far.  Then i make the variable variable, and the
shit happens.

// I want to set a javascript array value - already
// set up in the script...
// So I want to retrieve a value from the included
// file dynamically and create a javascript statement
// like this:
//  processors[0] = (whatever the value of $processors[0] within the
included file)
/
echo $the_variablename[0]."[0] = ".$$the_variablename[0][0].";\n";


And what do I get for wanting total control and dynamic code??
Undefined variable.

Is it because i'm accessing an array within the array?

Should I be calling it as:
$($the_variablename[0])[0]
or
$$the_variablename[0][0]

or do I need to establish a separate temp variable to take care of the array
value, like this:
$temp = $the_variablename[0];
echo $$temp[0];


Please help!!?!
