[PHP] gdf fonts
Hi Does anyone know where i can get some decent gdf fonts for using in the imageloadfont() function, i have found some on the net but they are all a bit naf so far. I'm really just looking for something like Arial or verdana. Im creating pie charts on the fly but at the moment they look like something that would be produced by a spectrum or commodore 64!

RE: [PHP] select statement with variables ???
Can someone tell me why this select is wrong please---ive tried everything. the $cat is the tablename . $query= SELECT title FROM $cat WHERE id='$id'; Apparently, either $cat or $id is not the value you think it is. First, I would try changing $result=mysql_query($query); to read: $result=mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); This will, no doubt, lend some insight into where your error is.

up to here I agree with Jay 100%, especially the 'echo' part (also get
familiar with var_dump() and print_r() functions to help debug your problems...
My bet is that you need to concatenate
$query = SELECT title FROM . $cat . WHERE id = '. $id .' ;
now unless either $cat or $id is actually an object with a 'magic'
__toString() method defined and the engine has been changed to fully/properly
support 'magic' object2string casting I don't agree that concat'ing will help
(even all of what I sAid was true I don't think it would help either),
the reaosn being that AFAICT the following 2 statements leave you with the same
string:
$cat = mytable;
$id = 1234;
$one = SELECT title FROM $cat WHERE id='$id';
$two = SELECT title FROM .$cat. WHERE id = '.$id.';
var_dump( ($one === $two) ); // -- will show you that this equates to TRUE.

[PHP] unlink, symlink and caching
I have a directory with the files:
/config/A
/config/B
and
/config/C is a symlink to /config/A.
Via php I unlink /config/C:
$FILE = '/config/C';
while(file_exists($FILE)){
unlink($FILE);
clearstatcache();
}
When run, the first time through the loop $FILE is removed from disk
as it should.
The loop then continues forever with file_exists() returning true, but
unlink() returns false with the error message Warning:
unlink(/config1/C) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in
/www/script.php on line 10
If I do this:
$FILE = '/config/C';
unlink($FILE);
cleanstatcache();
symlink('/config/B', '/config/C');
I get the error message:
Warning: symlink() [function.symlink]: File exists in /www/script.php
on line 11
However the link had been deleted.
The symlink /config/C is read via file_get_contents() before the
unlink and relink is performed.
I have also done the following:
$FILE = '/config/C';
unlink($FILE);
`ln -s /config/B /config/C`
Which works as expected, the old link is replaced with the new link,
however any attempt to open and read from the new link returns the
contents of the old file.
How would I be able to get the expected behavior from PHP. I expect
that the problem has something to do with the symlinks being used.
Any assistance is appreciated.

[PHP] sorting dates with php
Hi, Have a load of dates in the format DD/MM/YY. Thet are stored as a VARCHAR on a mysql DB. I need a way to sort them into order(most recent first) Using the QUERY $query = SELECT doc_date FROM papers ORDER BY doc_date DESC; this just arranges them by day. e.g 30/12/2005 30/11/2005 22/12/2005 19/12/2005 17/12/2005 12/12/2005 10/12/2005 06/12/2007 06/09/2002 05/12/2005 05/09/2005 Now I have tried to use strtotime() but I find this needs a timezone (GMT) to work and I don't know if the server supports it. Also I find strototime() and mktime() very confusing and a things go wrong of you work in GMT because we also have Brittish Summer Time where the clocks get put back/forward at certain time of the year.

You COULD sort them if the date was stored backwards, ie. Year/Month/Day On 12/21/05, Jim Moseby [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Have a load of dates in the format DD/MM/YY.

Is there a simple function like sort() that could do it?? Hi! Its a real shame your dates aren't stored in a DATE type field instead of VARCHAR, because you can just sort them in your query with order by DATE. If its possible, you would really benefit by converting them and storing them in the proper DATE type field. That being said, I suppose you could explode() them into an array then figure out how to sort them from there.

Thank you for checking on this.
I am using debain stable with a 2.6.14.3 kernel. The filesystem in
question is ext2 on a 48 MB ramdisk.
I also did the following on another machine using ext2 on a harddisk
with command line php.
?php
/*
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 Dec 21 12:41 A
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 Dec 21 12:41 B
lrwxr-xr-x 1 user user 1 Dec 21 12:43 C - A
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 91 Dec 21 12:41 test.php
*/
$FILE = 'C';
while(file_exists($FILE)){
echo $FILE exists\n;
echo `ls -l C`;
if(!unlink($FILE)){
echo Unable to delete $FILE\n;
echo `ls -l C`;
}else{
echo Deleted $FILE\n;
}
echo \n;
}
/*
Output:
php5 ./test.php
C exists
lrwxr-xr-x 1 user user 1 Dec 21 12:59 C - A
Deleted C
C exists
ls: C: No such file or directory
Warning: unlink(C): No such file or directory in
/home/user/x/test.php on line 14
Unable to delete C
ls: C: No such file or directory
C exists
ls: C: No such file or directory
Warning: unlink(C): No such file or directory in
/home/user/x/test.php on line 14
Unable to delete C
ls: C: No such file or directory
*/
?
This shows that apache is not responsible for the problem.
Note also that if I delete A and C within the loop the code works as
expected and the loop only executes once. So file_exists() is seeing
A when I tell it to delete C and unlink is seeing C as it
should.
Any ideas where to start to look for the cause of the problem?

[PHP] GD/Freetype text problems with bold or size 8
Currently, I'm running PHP 5.0.4 (only because it's the only one I can get to work on my FC4 x64 install!), but for some reason, using pixel sizes under 8, or using bold fonts, makes the text look horrible. My old host (11 in case anyone else has them..) had this working well, but I have no idea what their settings were. I've heard that editing the gd.h file to change the resolution from 96 to 72 helps, but I'm assuming I'd have to recompile something for that to take effect, and I can't find a PHP-GD Source RPM for my arch.
