[PHP] PHP GD and Unicode
Im doing a job that creates a business card that has double sided cards on it. - front side; is plain english - back side; is the desired languages I have been successfull with the japanese fonts displaying as an image (jpeg), that has the fonts in it. Now im trying the Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese. And i have no luck. Even if i try the aria.ttf font which supports.. *Unicode ranges*Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Greek and Coptic, Cyrillic, Cyrillic Supplementary, Hebrew, Reserved for Unicode SubRanges, Arabic, Reserved for Unicode SubRanges, Arabic Presentation Forms-A, Arabic Presentation Forms-B http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FID=8FNAME=Arial As described on the fonts info on this page. It displays fine on the browser if i set the correct charset ex:meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-8-I But when i try it on a image, that has been created with GD. It does nothing. I just want to confirm, it what im doing with the fonts possible thru GD/Jpeg? Please help, if this aint possible. I think imight purchase the PDFLib instead to test the unicode support. -- Louie Miranda http://www.axishift.com -- under development

I've managed to write the checking program in such a way that clicking
submit launches an 'error' page which displays at the top of the page
which field is wrong, and then redisplays the form. (The form

the HTML form page). My problem is this: when the 'error' page comes
up all of the text boxes will quite happily redisplay the data that
was put into them, but I have a couple of drop-down boxes and radio
buttons which lose their value. Is there a way I can make these boxes
and buttons retain their value?
The easiest way to do this is to keep all the select option items in an
associative array and iterating this with foreach or for to output the
option/ elements. That way you can directly check the value of each
option to detect which was selected.
MailerCode(tm):
?php
$select = array('a' = 'Item 1', 'b' = 'Item 2', 'c' = 'Item 3');
?
form ...
select name=MySelect id=MySelect
?php
foreach ($select as $value = $text) {
$selected = '';
if (!empty($_POST['MySelect']) $_POST['MySelect'] == $value) {
$selected = ' selected';
}
printf('option value=%s%s%s/option%s', $value, $selected,

That would be the idea, yes. It was some time since worked with
Quick_Form, so there might be a specific order you need to perform the
adding of the rule in relation to the validate() method call on the
$form object.
Btw yes it must be checked when user submit this. But If it's possible
client option on rule, would be better.
I am not sure about this, is there even client-side validation support
in Quick_Form? Haven't really looked into this. I would suggest writing
a manual javascript evaluation for the specific fields that should be
visible when the checkbox is checked, or to have a postback between. The
JavaScript option sounds most tempting, since it makes it a bit more
user-friendly. That way you can use the JavaScript alert() function to
present the fields that have erroneous information as well as altering
styles in the fields in question to perhaps have a red border to
indicate errors.

That is a good start, now all I need to do is get the whole query(s)
I guess I misunderstood your goal. You said before that you needed to LOCATE
the
queries, which the above will do (if certain assumptions are true). What
exactly
are you wanting to accomplish? Are you trying to write a script that will
extract
the entire query from a set of PHP files?
If so, and given this:
$variableName = INSERT INTO bar (foo) ;
$variableName .= VALUES ('.$foo.') ;
Would you expect:
INSERT INTO bar (foo) VALUES ('')
or something else?
At any rate, if you are trying to automatically extract entire queries, I'd say
that's pretty tricky, unless your code uses very strict idioms for defining
queries
that it doesn't stray from. For example, if the code always do this:
$query = select .;
$query .= from .;
$query .= where ;
That's one thing, but if it sometimes does this:
$query = select .
from ..
where .;
Then that's something entirely different.
Assuming the first, you could perhaps use a two-pass approach where you first go
through a file and find the beginning of a query assignment (using a regex like
the
one above), then extract the variable name and line number. Then on a second
pass
start from each line number you saved and process line number + N lines (where
N is
the largest number of lines the code normally takes to define a query,
arbitrarily
chosen) and look for lines where the variable name is followed by an assignment
operator (= or .=). Then use a regex on those lines to extract everything
between
quotes (hopefully just double quotes, unless the code tends to switch between
double
and single). But then you run into problems when your N is too large and the
end of
one chunk overlaps into the beginning of the next. I would imagine something
like
this would take a lot of time to get right, and even then only be an 80%
solution,
if that.
It seems to get this 100% right you'd have to have a full-fledged PHP parser,
which
means hacking the parser that PHP itself uses. Even hacking the PHP parser
probably
wouldn't get you a 100% solution because the compile stage won't be
enoughthere
is going to be code that may or may not be evaluated at runtime and I think it
would
be impossible to know without actually running it.
So...if you absolutely have to have this done programmatically (as opposed to
just
locating the beginning of the queries and manually extracting them) then I
would say
good luck to you. :) Hopefully someone else has some ideas...

No, Christopher, that is not a bug.

[PHP] Best practices for deleting and restoring records - moving vs flagging
Hello All, What are best practices for deleting records in a DB. We need the ability to restore the records. Two obvious choices are: 1) Flag them deleted or undeleted 2) Move the deleted records to seperate table for deleted records. We have a complex schema. However the the records that need to be deleted and restored reside in 2 different tables (Table1 and Table2). Table2 uses the primary key of the Table1 as the Foriegn key. The Primary key for Table1 is auto-generated. This make the restoring with the same primary key impossible, if we move deleted data to a different table. However if we just flag the record as deleted the restoring is quite easy.

[PHP] PHP smarty - nested queries and arrays
Hello!
I'm using PHP and Smarty to try to build an array of arrays using the
results from nested queries. I am just learning about nested arrays,
and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I am hoping someone can give me a hint as to what I am doing wrong. I
looked on php.net, but still couldn't figure it out.
If I remove the PHP foreach loop, it works fine, except, of course, no
sub projects show up. The error must be in there, but I'm just not
seeing it.
I get the following error with the code below:

Re: [PHP] Oracle Question
Yeah, you can connect to Oracle remotely. The standard PHP functions should do it probably, but I've done it using ADODB. I don't know if this is the same on a *nix box, but I was running PHP on a Windows box and needed special Oracle stuff installed on my machine to connect to the Oracle DB. There's a file..something like tsnames.ora that has the database information. Sort of like their version of ODBC. You give it an aliased name, then give it all the server info, then when you connect to Oracle, you give it the name that's entered into tsnames.ora (or whatever the file is) and the username/password combo. Maybe that'll give you a nudge in the right direction. Good luck! Let us know what you find! -TG = = = Original message = = = Hi, Can PHP connect to a remote Oracle db?

Re: [PHP] Oracle Question
xfedex, yes you can connect to a remote Oracle DB, I'm doing for an app I'm trying to write.

Re: [PHP] Re: possible bug (string equality to zero)?
Using === should work. This is most likely because, if I remember correctly, when you compare a string to a integer, it essentially does an intval(string). If the string contains no numbers, you end up with nothing.. or zero. It definitely isn't a bug and definitely has to do with type conversion though. the triple equalsign deal should work since it forces PHP not to convert types. -TG = = = Original message = = = No, Christopher, that is not a bug.

Re: [PHP] PHP and Active Directory
Just to clearify what you're trying to do. Maybe LDAP (or the ADLDAP? suggestion) isn't what you need. Are you trying to have a user type their username and password into a web form and have PHP pass that information to an active directory server? Or are you trying to make sure that the user is authencated and get their username and such? If the user's computer is on the network with the AD server and they log into the domain on their PC (either directly or via VPN), then you can get their authenticated username from the web server (IIS at least). In this case, the user has already logged in and you're just grabbing the validated username for logging purposes or something like that. You have to enable NT Integrated Auth (aka NTLM) on the web server. Once the IIS server is properly configured and the user is logged into the domain, you can get their username via $_SERVER['AUTH_USER']. Make sure Basic and Anonymous auth are turned off in IIS.

Re: [PHP] PHP and Active Directory
My non-sense answers pointed you to the LDAP functions for use with Active Directory. That is very constructive until you ask for something more specific. Jay, I was specting something like: Yes, i have php to authenticate against AD, and i can say that is easy/hard. I make it work using LDAP (http://www.php.net/ldap) or something like that. Instead, WE lost time figuring out what would be a smart question or a non-asked answer. Really, is so hard to understand my original question?? Please, dont answer unless you sometime get it working (PHP + AD).

Re: [PHP] PHP and Active Directory
Just to clearify what you're trying to do. Maybe LDAP (or the ADLDAP? suggestion) isn't what you need. Are you trying to have a user type their username and password into a web form and have PHP pass that information to an active directory server? Or are you trying to make sure that the user is authencated and get their username and such? If the user's computer is on the network with the AD server and they log into the domain on their PC (either directly or via VPN), then you can get their authenticated username from the web server (IIS at least). In this case, the user has already logged in and you're just grabbing the validated username for logging purposes or something like that. You have to enable NT Integrated Auth (aka NTLM) on the web server. Once the IIS server is properly configured and the user is logged into the domain, you can get their username via $_SERVER['AUTH_USER']. Make sure Basic and Anonymous auth are turned off in IIS. If you want to transparently pass a user's authentication information from a user's workstation all the way through to a SQL Server or something, that's a little more complicated.

[PHP] Blatantly Evil Question
What is the best way to cloak a site - send search engines different content than real users? Yes, I know it's bad practice, and I know the domain will eventually be banned. I've found lots of different methods including huge tables of all the possible client types sent by various spiders. I postulate that the simplest/fastest way to do it, and no less reliably, would be to simply consider any user whose client type includes msie, netscape, or safari to be a person, and let the rest go. Anyone have any practical experience with success that they'd like to share? I know there are plenty of negative stories and reasons NOT to do those but no need to take up the bandwidth with that; heard 'em already. :) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

maybe, partially - generally radio buttons and checkboxes have fixed values -
it's the 'are they selected' part that probably want to make dynamic...
basically you need to conditionally add the attribute 'checked' (i.e.
checked=checked) to the radios and checkboxes you want selected when the
form is first shown.
e.g.
?
if ($thisChkBoxIsInitiallySelected) {
$checked = ' checked=checked';
} else {
$checked = '';
}
echo 'input name=gmev[] type=checkbox id=gmev',$checked,'/';
?
of course there are a million different ways to write this kind of thing
(i.e. don't take my example verbatim perse) but hopefully you get the idea.

Like this:
