[PHP] PHP + JPEG2000
I'm developing a photo gallery/store site. I am storing full-resolution, full-quality images on my server and generating (and caching) lower resolution thumbnails for previewing the images. As it stands, I accept PNG and JPEG images via the GD image functions. Typically, I upload PNG files, but if I happen to upload a JPEG file, it will be retained as a JPEG (to reduce space requirements - no reason to convert). All of the above is working perfectly in PHP using GD image functions, including an automatic watermarking scheme. PNG files typically offer a nice reduction in file size over uncompressed lossless files while not throwing away any image data. I've been relatively pleased with it, at least until I discovered JPEG2000 lossless. Completely lossless, just like PNG, but 1/3 smaller. That means 50% more images can fit in the same space. And considering that web space is quite valuable (especially when you're looking at storing hundreds, thousands, or more of several megapixel plus full-color images online at all times) this is a very significant thing to me. So, has anybody worked with JPEG 2000 and PHP? I'm guessing ImageMagick is the program to use, does that support JPEG2000, and if so, does it work well and everything? Also, there might be other formats out there that support lossless photo compression, any suggestions that would match/beat JPEG2000 and be usable with PHP? (I'm only going to be accessing the full-resolution, losslessly encoded images when a customer actually buys the image, so there is no need for extreme PHP integration or anything, just a decent way to archive and de-archive the images and, most important of all - save space!)

[PHP] Image Editing and Image Upload
Hello, I am involved in building a website that will allow users to upload their images and edit them online. I am looking for a web based Photo Editor and an Online Uploader (an applet perhaps that displays the contents of the users folders and allows them to upload multiple selected files to the server) that can be used with a PHP application. We are looking at server side implementations of both. The image editing features that I am looking at are cropping, rotating, red-eye reduction, add text and apply a template. Are there any libraries or readymade software (OCX or Java Applets) that work with PHP to achieve this? Please advice me on this and if you have any implementation tips, I would be grateful for them.

[PHP] Running a PHP script on an automated regular schedule
Hi. I am wanting to use a PHP script to check on an hourly/daily basis on a few things- ie links on my sites, whether the sites are up and running and also to send an e-mail to me. I know how to do this using PHP but my problem is how to have this running 24/7. I can't really have this on a web page as wouldn't it time out? I don't have my own server and so use a hosting company. Is there a way of running a PHP script on a regular basis (say every 10 or 30 mins, or hourly or daily)? Would I have to set up my own server to do this? I just the simplest way of acheiving this. Any ideas? Does anyone know of any decent link checkers written in PHP that I could implement? Many thanks, Ian Gray

Re: [PHP] Getting Server time
Since PHP is parsed on the server and not on the client machine, you should be getting the server time. You can figure out in which TZ the server is by comparing it to the time where you are.

On this topic, i actually have a licence of this mighty find product, it was good when it was free, the licence is a bitch, but just have to bite i guess. My point exactly, if it was free or open source/ very benificial to the php community the announcement wouldnt really be a problem, on this list there are some mighty fine programmers and extremly knowledgeable people (most of who have helped me and scores of others when we started and continue to do so till this day), and most of them have, i'm sure, very good programs for sale but NOBODY comes almost spamming the list with their products. This is a PHP discussion list, if you have a product closely related to php then most people wont mind, eg: PHP accelerators The TURCK MMCache project A good (new?) php obfuscator A php tool that converts code to binary A really good php article to help you program better A great tool to help you program better/faster (contriversial as everyone has their favs) There are a few exceptions like, a couple of days back I asked about a CMS system, I got a few replies and one from James about his CMS system (which is not free, not open source), thats ok because he was trying to help and his product might have been what I was looking for. I also see another product quite often being recomended when the old thread of is smarty good or best templateing package etc comes along...which too is cool and nobody minds as the software might be what the person was searching for. Another very popular questions are: how do I do xxx or where can I find a class to do this or I want this email functionality in which case a lot of times he/she is pointed to the php classes site by Manuel Lemos or someone else...but you DONT see Manuel Lemos spamming the list every time a new class is put on his site...do you? he's got a newsletter for that like any responsible company/webmaster. This is a high volume list, and I get enough of great product offers every day from porn sites and medicial companies as we manage 13 sites... and the one more won't hurt is f***ing stupid. Recommendations for the yog website, it is extremely misleading, try and change it to price for 1-9 licences. It sounds like its 1-9 licences for that price. WHO CARE`S? you are one of their customers, you might. If you signed up for their newsletter and you recieve their updates good for you, the rest of us (most of us) do not care. Most (good) sites have a newsletter system for just this thing. Anyway phpmyadmin is crap sorry, i avoid it like the plague, Fair enough, thats your opinion and we all respect it. But how would you like it if you started getting frequent updates in your mail everytime phpmyAdmin was updated? now wouldnt that be sweet? 2 cents Thanks, I'm saving it all up, every penny helps. :-D -Ryan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Problem with _one_ CE chars - GD library
Hi, Im doing some dynamic image creation with GD library - and I really wonder why I can't get the last character printed out on the image :( I use this file to encode the font: http://phpgeek.dk/ng/88592.enc.txt And the font I use is Frutiger CE 45 Light... I wonder if it is the font that are buggy - I can write out all other characters - but not the last one I need :( The character I can't write out is: (html: #273;) I works fine with the upper character: (html: #272;) (HTML codes added, if the newsserver removes these characters...). When I tries to write the character on the image, I just make white space... Any one tried such problems? Any solution for that? And is it the font, the encoding file - or something else that are wrong? I don't think it is my source - cause all other Central European characters I tried works fine :( (Or maybe this should a happy smiley :D) I hope someone can help me :) With best regards, Johan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] SQL Query Statement for MySQL... (DataType -- TEXT vs BLOB)
I'm wrestling over deciding on which data type to go with, TEXT or BLOB. I have one table with one column of 400 characters, I was thinking that TEXT may be the way to go for that one. I also have another table that use 4 columns of 800 characters along with 5 columns that use 250 characters. I'm thinking of using TEXT for 9 of those columns. The reason is because I read the MySQL Manual there that say TEXT and BLOB are pretty much the same in many ways, the only thing different is that BLOB use VARCHAR Binary while TEXT use VARCHAR. But reading the article somewhere (not part of MySQL's Manual) say this... --snip-- If it doesn't have to be searchable then a BLOB might be more efficient and you shouldn't have to worry about size (Like size is important? ). The reason being that BLOB information is stored seperate from the table data and is related by a reference number in the table. This keeps the table smaller and faster as I understand. --snip-- So, I don't feel too sure what to decide on... Care for some advice or recommendation??

RE: [PHP] Load Data
Hi Juan Pablo, LOAD DATE INFILE requires the FILE privelege, and the MySQL server process must have permissions to read the file in the named directory. Most times one or both of these requirements cannot be satisfied easily, particularly in a web environment. You can get around both permissions issues using LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE, which sends the contents of the infile over the MySQL socket to the MySQL server. In this case your running application (ie: apache, assuming PHP is running as a module) must have read permissions on the file, which is much easier to control.

Hi Robert, The initial links have session id's appended since upon the very first entry into the site, no PHPSESSION cookie is available. PHP appends the session id in the event no cookies are available- it doesn't know yet whether you have cookies on or not.

[PHP] Binary mah
Hey gang,
I've got a complex algorithm that I'm trying to work out. I'm trying
to store and retrieve a set of switches in a decimal representation
of a binary number. I have four checkboxes, call them A, B, C, and D.
They can be represented by a (decimal) number from 0 to 15 in binary
( to ). I need to be able to store and retrieve this set of
data.
I've got the script to store it, and I thought I had the script to
retrieve the data, but I can't seem to get the checkboxes to actually
be checked (or not) depending on the value in the database.
I don't like dealing with the data this way, but the program I'm
interacting with requires it.
The script below is used to handle a number of data elements on the
page.
$pagevars is an array of the variables on the page, and the table
they are located in.
set_val(a,b) puts the values in array a into the variables listed in
array b.
form_element(a,b) is a function that returns a form element of type a
(CB, TB) with the variable a. So form_element(CB,var) returns the
following:
INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME=var /
If the value is 1 or on, CHECKED will be added.
Here's the script:
--- START CORE.PHP ---
?php
include(../functions.inc);
include(menu.html);
$pagevars=array(statistics=array(StatFlags,StatFiles,StatMail,STF_Hours,STM_Hours));

$stat=$_POST['stat'];
for ($i=0;$i4;$i++) {
$t[$i]=isset($stat[$i])?1:0;
}
$stat=implode(,$t);
$StatFlags=bindec($stat);
$_POST['StatFlags']=$StatFlags;
unset($_POST['stat']);
if (!set_val($_POST,$pagevars)) {
echo data not written to database. Contact system administrator;
}
}
$page_var_vals=get_vars($pagevars);

[PHP] Re: Binary mah
Mark wrote:
Hey gang,
I've got a complex algorithm that I'm trying to work out. I'm trying
to store and retrieve a set of switches in a decimal representation
of a binary number. I have four checkboxes, call them A, B, C, and D.
They can be represented by a (decimal) number from 0 to 15 in binary
( to ). I need to be able to store and retrieve this set of
data.
I've got the script to store it, and I thought I had the script to
retrieve the data, but I can't seem to get the checkboxes to actually
be checked (or not) depending on the value in the database.
I'm not sure what's wrong with the code you have, but for the 4-digit
one you have:
$packed = 4-bit var with ABCD encoded in it
$a = $packed 1;
$b = $packed 2;
$c = $packed 4;
$d = $packed 8;
I don't like dealing with the data this way, but the program I'm
interacting with requires it.
The script below is used to handle a number of data elements on the
page.
$pagevars is an array of the variables on the page, and the table
they are located in.
set_val(a,b) puts the values in array a into the variables listed in
array b.
form_element(a,b) is a function that returns a form element of type a
(CB, TB) with the variable a. So form_element(CB,var) returns the
following:
INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME=var /
If the value is 1 or on, CHECKED will be added.
Here's the script:
--- START CORE.PHP ---
?php
include(../functions.inc);
include(menu.html);
$pagevars=array(statistics=array(StatFlags,StatFiles,StatMail,STF_Hours,STM_Hours));
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$stat=$_POST['stat'];
for ($i=0;$i4;$i++) {
$t[$i]=isset($stat[$i])?1:0;
}
$stat=implode(,$t);
$StatFlags=bindec($stat);
$_POST['StatFlags']=$StatFlags;
unset($_POST['stat']);
if (!set_val($_POST,$pagevars)) {
echo data not written to database. Contact system administrator;
}
}
$page_var_vals=get_vars($pagevars);
if (is_array($page_var_vals)) {
extract($page_var_vals);
}
echo StatFlags:$StatFlagsBR;
$stat=preg_split('//', str_pad(decbin($StatFlags), 4, 0,
STR_PAD_LEFT), -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
for ($i=0;$i4;$i++) {
$stat[$i]=($stat[$i]==1)?on:;
}
debug($stat);

[PHP] Undiscovered Firefox...
Okay, I'm sitting at home, writing a bit of code for one of my personal
sites, and I'm currently working on a function to detect different
browser types. Well, I think I have the URL to a page on one of my
boxes which echo's out the HTTP_USER_AGENT in my clipboard. However,
what I have there is
elseif ( preg_match ( /Firefox/, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ) ) {
Well, I paste this into Firefox's URL bar and hit enter before my brain
can tell my hands that this is not what I want to do. Do I get a could
not find server error from Firefox? Nope. It forwards me to this page
http://itangersjack.com/oddball/cheese.htm
Nothing really special about the page, except it's revealing source code
to something I'm currently working on (not in the way I'm doing it, but
it's there). Okay, it's late, and I'm easily amused. ;)

BTW, you should really use
strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Firefox');
or stristr

[PHP] Improving my Regex?
Looking for suggestions on if this bit of code can be improved..
The goal. To extract the conditions in the WHERE of an sql statement.
I would appreciate any pointers you may have...
Thanks
?php
$hello = 'Hello';
$world = 'World';
$foo_bar = 'foo bar';
$sql = SELECT FROM TABLE WHERE id = 1, greeting = '$hello', destination =
'$world', what = '$foo_bar' ORDER BY some_id;
header('content-type: text/plain');
$regex = '/([a-z0-9_]+)\s?=\s?(\d+|\'.*?\')/';
preg_match_all($regex, $sql, $match, PREG_SET_ORDER);
var_dump($sql, $regex, $match);
?
