Re: [PHP] displaying certain number of character
Hey Philip you can use this function
function cuttext($text, $maxChars = 20, $tail = '')
{
$arrWords = explode( , $text);
$temp = ;
for ($i=0; $icount($arrWords); $i++)
{
$temp = ($i == 0 ? $arrWords[$i] : . $arrWords[$i] );
if (strlen($temp) $maxChars)
{
$returnStr = $temp;
}
else
{
return $returnStr.$tail;
}
}
return $returnStr;
}
Usage:
echo cuttext(Please visit my site, 15, $tail = '..');
This will echo Please visit

I have been using this but how can I make sure I do not split a word in
half? - Finishing on a space would probably do it.
You could use wordwrap() to wrap lines at 50 characters and then just take
the first line

no love from fopen, and chmod via PHP doesn't work.
Any adivce?

// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
if(is_writable($filename))
{
// In our example we're opening $filename in append mode.
// The file pointer is at the bottom of the file hence
// that's where $somecontent will go when we fwrite() it.
if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w'))
{
echo(Cannot open file ($filename)br /);
exit;
}
$somecontent = ;
// Write $somecontent to our opened file.
if(fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE)
{
echo(Cannot write to file ($filename)br /);

}

Re: [PHP] String format problem
To elaborate on Philip's response (which is correct)... Anything in double quotes ( ) will be interpreted by PHP before figuring out what the actual value is. Items like \n, \t, etc are therefore converted to a newline (\n) or a tab (\t) before assigning to the variable. Variables within the double quotes are also evaluated before assigning. So.. $firstname = Bob; $lastname = Smith; $varname = $firstname $lastname told me to find the file in folder C:\newtext\; echo $varname; Will yield: Bob Smith told me to find the file in folder C: ewtext; Actually it'll give you an error because the double quotes aren't properly terminated.. \ is also interpreted. Whereas.. $varname = '$firstname $lastname told me to find the file in folder C:\newtext\'; echo $varname; Yields.. $firstname $lastname told me to find the file in folder C:\newtext\ In this case, you have two options to get what you want: $varname = $firstname $lastname told me to find the file in folder C:\\newtext\\; ..or.. $varname = $firstname . ' ' . $lastname told me to find the file in folder C:\newtext\'; I've read never use double quotes unless you have to because it could potentially speed up PHP a little because it won't be trying to interpret every string. I'm not sure exactly how much savings this is going to give you so I drop this in the whatever your style dictates category. I prefer double quotes because I think it visually delineates the code better and I think $firstname $lastname looks tidier than $firstname . ' ' . $lastname even though I do consider it slightly looser coding practices. One's better for the human, one's better for the machine (imo) and since I'm a human.

[PHP] running process in the background

I'm experiencing strange behavior when trying to run background process in

Code :
//Run_check.php
foreach ($_POST as $kid){
`php run.php param1 param2 /dev/null `;
}
In this case PHP waits all the instances of the process to complete.
I don't understand why.
I have a workaround here, but anyway i don't understand why the above example
doesn't work.
If i don't run the cycle here , but run other file and there run the cycle
that runs the the background processes everything is OK.
/*This file gets $_POST , implodes it , and passes the string to the other
script */
//Run_check.php
$ids=implode(',',$_POST);
` php run1.php $ids`;
/*This script takes the input , explodes it and runs a cycle that runs the
background process*/
//run1.php :
$kwid=explode(',',$argv[1]);
foreach ($kwid as $kid){
`php run.php param1 param 2 /dev/null `;
}
Everything is OK.

Interaction to write to a input file type is denied in browsers not to read the value so you can can get the full path using JavaScript like any other input in the form(document.formname.inputname.value) and pass it to other input field lets say input fullpath using something like document.formname.fullpath = document.formname.inputname.value -- all using javascript So yes you can get the fullpath however you should redirect your question to a JavaScript List or perhaps a javascript-php list.

Re: [PHP] String format problem
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To elaborate on Philip's response (which is correct)... [] I've read never use double quotes unless you have to because it could potentially speed up PHP a little because it won't be trying to interpret every string. I once did some trials with thousand repetitions of segments of code with different alternatives, so let me go through all of them since I have the numbers anyway. The original was in Spanish so I'll just give the results. The question started with using echo or print and, as the manual says, echo is, indeed, faster: echo uno $f tres : 3.04 print uno $f tres : 3.70 The numbers after the colons are the execution times of one against the other for a lot of repetitions, anyhow, they should be read as relative to one another. Next, most people don't know that echo accepts multiple arguments separated by commas. Separating the arguments with commas is faster. echo 'uno ' . ' dos ' . ' tres ': 1.32 echo 'uno ' , ' dos ' , ' tres ': 0.94 In fact, this is a poor example since the difference gets larger with longer string and more arguments. When you use dots, the interpreter has to actually concatenate the string, looking for memory to do so and freeing it up afterwards. This takes time. With commas, each argument is sent to the output stream as soon as it is found, no further processing is needed in between. Then the single vs. double quotes: echo 'uno ' , ' dos ' , ' tres ': 0.94 echo uno , dos , tres : 6.76 Once again, these are relative times but it means using double quotes is 7 times slower than single quotes Several different alternatives with variables involved: echo 'uno ' . $f . ' tres ': 7.38 echo 'uno ' , $f , ' tres ': 0.80 echo uno $f tres : 3.04 echo EOT uno $f tres EOT: 3.29 Notice that when variables are involved, the difference in between echoing with arguments separated with commas and separated with dots is more than 9 times faster for the commas.Using double quotes with variable expansion is almost 4 times slower than the commas, but is still faster than concatenating them externaly with dots. Using heredoc-style strings is not so bad compared to double quotes. So, if you are sending out the rule would be: Use echo, not print. Separate arguments with commas. Now, if you are not using echo, for example, concatenating to a variable, the best is to use variable expansion inside double quoted or heredoc strings. Concatenating with dots is more than twice as slow. Satyam -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] weird results from imagettfbbox()
I have an array of strings in which I am passing to imagettfbbox() in order
to calculate the height of the text box for each string. I am then
subtracting the height from the y position in order to deviate the pivot
point form the top left corner to the bottom left corner when I used
imagettftext() to draw the text on an image. I am giving both commands a
fontsize of 50, an angle of 0 and I am using the font ARIAL.
I am having an issue where the first string comes back with a height of 50
and the next comes back with 47. Then 50 again for the next following
string and then 47 again for the next one foloowing that. It keeps going on
and on like this and I do not understand why. I am using the same font,
font size, and angle for each string so shouldnt they all come back as the
same size?
Here's a snippet of what I am doing:
$file = this can be any file;
$im = imagecreatefromjpeg($file);
$textcolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$fontfile = arial.ttf;
$fontsize = 50;
$arr = split(CR, $_GET['text']);
$boxes = count($arr);
if (preg_match('/[0-9]/', $boxes)){
for($c=0;$c$boxes;$c++){
$text = stripslashes($arr[$c]);
$y = $fontsize * $c;
$bbox = imagettfbbox($fontsize, 0, $fontfile, $text);
$dy = $bbox[7] - $bbox[1];
$py = $y-$dy;
imagettftext($im, $fontsize, 0, 1, $py, $textcolor, $fontfile, $text);

Oh wait... you are not specifying your $_POST variable. you need to
use the key for $_POST. just do a print_r($_POST) to find the key
from the $_POST array that you are looking for. also, i would not
pass a $_POST variable directly to your shell without escaping it
somehow, first...
foreach ($_POST[$key] ...
Jordan
Did you try also sending stderr to /dev/null rather than stdout only?
I think the syntax is to add a 21:
foreach ($_POST as $kid){
`php run.php param1 param2 /dev/null 21 `;
}
This should put each process in the background and suppress all
errors and output. Does that work?

[PHP] Making Text [not the background] transparent
How do I make the text transparent over the background ?
In my web app, I want to to put a layer BEHIND the image to control the
color of the php-created text
So, the layer color in the web app shows thru the text php creates
Would like to use alpha transparency so the color looks clean :)
how would I amend the below script to do this ?
many thanks
g
header(Content-type:.$mime); //$mime = image/png
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(200, 16); //use to draw a text box
imageAlphaBlending($im, true);
imageSaveAlpha($im, true);
$left= 5; //add a little pad to the left edge
$color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$fontSize = 11;
// choose a font
$fontPath = /home/siren/fonts/;
$defaultFont = tahomabd.ttf;
$fontName = arial.ttf;
$font = $fontPath.$fontName ;
if (! file_exists($font)) {
$font = $fontPath.$defaultFont ;

Re: [PHP] weird results from imagettfbbox()
I have an array of strings in which I am passing to imagettfbbox() in order
to calculate the height of the text box for each string. I am then
subtracting the height from the y position in order to deviate the pivot
point form the top left corner to the bottom left corner when I used
imagettftext() to draw the text on an image. I am giving both commands a
fontsize of 50, an angle of 0 and I am using the font ARIAL.
I am having an issue where the first string comes back with a height of 50
and the next comes back with 47. Then 50 again for the next following
string and then 47 again for the next one foloowing that. It keeps going on
and on like this and I do not understand why. I am using the same font,
font size, and angle for each string so shouldnt they all come back as the
same size?
Is each line of the file the same? It's going to vary depending on what
letters are in the string (ascenders and descenders for letters like
qygpi, etc.).
maybe that's it?
Here's a snippet of what I am doing:
$file = this can be any file;
$im = imagecreatefromjpeg($file);
$textcolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$fontfile = arial.ttf;
$fontsize = 50;
$arr = split(CR, $_GET['text']);
$boxes = count($arr);
if (preg_match('/[0-9]/', $boxes)){
for($c=0;$c$boxes;$c++){
$text = stripslashes($arr[$c]);
$y = $fontsize * $c;
$bbox = imagettfbbox($fontsize, 0, $fontfile, $text);
$dy = $bbox[7] - $bbox[1];
$py = $y-$dy;
imagettftext($im, $fontsize, 0, 1, $py, $textcolor, $fontfile, $text);
}
}
header(Content-type: image/jpeg);
imagejpeg($im, ,95);
imagedestroy($im);

[PHP] Nested IFs Problem
I have the following nested ifs:
if ($row['date'] '2005-10-02') {
if ($row['time'] '12:00') {
if ($row['field'] == 'P5' ) {
echo td class=\tabletextbluebg\Success;
}
}
}
else {
echo td class=\tabletextred\Failed;
}
/td
Whenever the 3 if statements are true, I always get the correct
Success to echo. However, if any or all of the if statements are
false, I never get Failed to echo.
I know it's something simple, but I just can't see it at the moment.

Re: [PHP] Nested IFs Problem
why not rewrite it to be more concise... i can't see a problem at the
moment. are you sure you can do a comparison operator on the
'12:00' and '2005-10-02' string?? Maybe if you are using 24 hr format
you could just get rid of the : on both sides of the operator to
have the properly evaluated... do the same for the date comparison.
just try each if statement individually. then, when you find the
problem, rewrite like this:
if ((putFirstExpressionHere) (putSecondExpressionHere)
(putThirdExpressionHere)) {
// success
} else {
// failure
}

Just shooting from the hip here, you will never get the Failed echo unless
the FIRST if is false.

Once the first if statement is evaluated as true, the else statement

all three of your if conditions should be combined into one if condition
ANDed () together? Or maybe the if...elseif...else structure is what

Hope this helps.

So, you better put all the conditions in a single if, joined by 'and' or :
if ($row['date'] '2005-10-02' $row['time'] '12:00' $row['field']
== 'P5' ) {
That would do what you want

[PHP] ID based on position?
Hi there! Is there any function in PHP that gives an ID from a MySQL-db based on which position the record has in the table? Let's say, there's a table like this: 1. Record1 ID 33 2. Record2 ID 76 3. Record3 ID 100 If I know position 2, I want to get ID 76.

You could LIMIT your query to the record number you are looking for, and grab the last element in the array from your result set.

Re: [PHP] ID based on position?
Auugh!! Why would you want to do this? You're flying in the face of relational database theory and practice. Position of a record in the table is, or should be irrelevant. What if you have twenty thousand records, or two hundred, and the 45th record in the table is deleted? Fetching an ID from anything beyond that record, based on the order of insertion (position), is instantly broken. Please rethink what you want to do, and if you are not familiar with relational databases read some of the excellent tutorials available on the 'Net about them and their design. It's pretty straightforward, common sense stuff -- but you can back yourself into an awkward corner. Regards - Miles At 07:54 PM 8/31/2005, Gustav Wiberg wrote: Hi there!
