[PHP] ImageMagick
Here's the scenario - Website has some demonstrative images. I create these images with the gimp - starting with a jpeg, adding a few text layers and straight lines. I then save as xcf in case I ever need to edit. Then I export to jpeg, resize for thumb and export to jpeg again. Admin interface to my web face needs to allow for upload of image. What would be sweet is if I could just upload the gimp xcf in these cases, and have ImageMagick do the export to jpeg and thumbnail creation. Advantage of doing it this way - it will allow me to keep the original xcf on the server along with the generated images. Issues - I'd rather not have any code that spawns a shell, so I can only do this if the pecl imageMagick module is up to snuff for xcf-jpeg conversion. Anyone used it? Looks like I'll have to compile it, before I do that I would like to know if it even is up to the task. Second possible issue - I don't know how well imageMagick can deal with an xcf file that uses text layer / fonts. I assume I'll have to install the font used on the server (Adobe New Century Schoolbook Type 1 - yes, I have license for it), but if so, how would I specify to ImageMagick the font path? Anyone done this sort of thing? I may just do the export on my home box via gimp and just scp the xcf to the server so a copy is stored there as well, but it would be nice to just stick the xcf into a file upload field and just have php do the rest. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Do the text layers have to go beneath something on the original xcf, or have special effects applied to them?

Yeah - I know I can do text with gd, I already do for some things. The issue is that the placement of the text and the lines is custom per image, so it would require php coding each instance. Some examples - http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r103/FunkyRes/8md.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r103/FunkyRes/telegans_shields02.jpg Can be done with gd but it's a lot easier to add the text layers with a gui image editor - unless gimp has a php-gd export function that could write the code for me (that would be cool) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] object literals
Hi,
$x = (object) array('a'=1, 'b'=3, ...);
which works but isn't very lovely. it's neater in, for example, javascript.
Well, you could wrap it up in a function to make it a bit lovelier. Eg:
$foo = createObject(array('key' = 'value'));
It's not great, but PHP doesn't have a object literal syntax AFAIK.

You could use JSON,
$foo = json_decode('{a:1,b:3}');
but I guess that's not much better than Richard's suggestion.

Didn't think of that (well... it's new). That's actually much better I
think, since you get the added boon of ease of portability to JS (if
that's even a factor).

RE: [PHP] object literals
var o = {
a : b,
c : d
};
$o = array(
'a' = b,
'c' = d
);
so I guess the problem is a couple of quotes, isn't it?
otherwise define object statically and externally and use json_decode ;-)

is there a neat literal syntax for creating objects on the fly without
defining a type?
whenever i need to do it i do something like
$x = (object) array('a'=1, 'b'=3, ...);
which works but isn't very lovely. it's neater in, for example, javascript.

RE: [PHP] object literals
you are in PHP, not in JavaScript.
In PHP arrays are like collections or hash tables.
if you strictly need object cause
$o-stuff
is better than
$o['stuff']
having exactly the same number of characters, you can create a function like
function o(array $a){
$o = new stdClass;
foreach($a as $key = $value)
$o-$key = $value;
return $o;
}
and the syntax will be
$o = o(array(
'a' = b,
'c' = d
));
spot the difference from (object) array(whatever) ?
I do not ... and that's why json_encode resolves associative arrays rather than
list automatically but still, if you are in PHP, you should think about being
familiar with associative arrays, also because so far is the only class you
cannot create/extend.
class string {
// ok
}
class object {
// ok
}
class array {
// no way
}

[PHP] graphical integrated development environment recommendations?
With the wide range of users on the list, I'm sure there are plenty of opinions on what are good graphical IDE's and which ones to avoid. I'd like to get away from using notepad.exe to code with due to its limitations. Something that supports syntax/code highlighting and has browser previews would be nice features. I'm looking at Aptana (www.aptana.com) but it seems like it is more complicated to use then it should be.

First off, you compared the syntax between creating a PHP array and a
JavaScript object when the previous post specifically spoke about
getting a PHP OBJECT. Now you've made a rather lengthy and redundant
post trying to describe to me objects versus arrays in PHP. Lastly
you've suggested writing a function to convert an array to an object
using a foreach loop for the members which is completely unnecessary.
The following will suffice:
?php
function o( array $a )
{
return (object)$a;
}
?
... and the syntax will be:
?php
$o = o(array
(
'a' = b,
'c' = d,
));
?
But why bother when you could have just done:
?php
$o = (object)array
(
'a' = b,
'c' = d,
);
?

Rob.

Those are attributes of the file for which you dont have access remotely, and the only way to access this information without an upload will be using the same hacks as those spywarez use. A technology like flash has read/write access to the remote user's disk (to a certain extent), you could use flash to get that information and make it send it to you, same thing could be done with ActiveX, etc... PHP, JS and HTTP protocol cannot acheive what you want. (PHP is server-side, HTTP is for communication only, JS is client-side but locked down very much). However, at a very low level, it might be possible to achieve this in PHP, you could do the upload as if you wanted the whole file. But the first packet received will contain the HTTP Header, and in the header, you should have all the info you need (filename and size of data). So, low-level speaking, as soon as you receive the first packet and have the info, you just need to close the connection (remote end might display an error msg saying the upload failed, etc). PHP supports sockets connections, so you could make a basic 'server' that listens on another port to perform this. But i see no way to acheive your goal without complications.

Re: [PHP] graphical integrated development environment recommendations?
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm Try out N++. It's very good, supports a whole bunch of languages by default, has folding, and you can tweak the syntax highlight if you want. (You don't need to though.) Takes two minutes to install, and 45 seconds to uninstall it if you don't like it. It's worth a try.

[PHP] SOAP and Exception Handling
Hello Guys,
I use SOAP calls to make web service requests.I have a class that does
webservice calls to various wsdls. So my question is about try catch blocks.
so my method looks like this:
private function method($cookie){
//Define Client
try{
// Check if WSDL exists
if(!...@file_get_contents($this-WSDL)) {
throw new SoapFault('Server', 'No WSDL found at ' .
$this-WSDL);
}
$client = new SoapClient($this-WSDL, array(
'exceptions' = 1,
'encoding' = UTF-8,
'connection_timeout' = 60
));
}catch(SoapFault $fault){
// Error if the WSDL is not available or new client cannot be made
//log errror
}
//Define Input Array
$input = array();
$input['cookie'] = $cookie;
//Make the call
try{
$result = $client-function($input);// Make the Call
return $result;
}catch(SoapFault $fault){
//log error
}
}
How is it possible for me to *remove *these 2 try and catch blocks from this
method and just throw exceptions, but do a try and catch in the business
logic.
So basically I might have different functions in business logic area that
might call the same method and I do error logging there itself instead
directly in the method?
Thanks,

[PHP] PHP6 return by reference deprecation
In another thread (which I mercifully declined to highjack), someone cited: Taken from http://www.corephp.co.uk/archives/19-Prepare-for-PHP-6.html And I read this: Both '$foo = new StdClass()' and 'function foo' will now raise an E_STRICT error. I don't use this much, but where I do, it's vital. Typically, I use it to ensure a single copy of the $config for an application, as: function get_config() ... and/or: $cfg = get_config(); If this is going away, how do you return things by reference, so as to ensure a single copy of something (yes, I know the singleton pattern can be used; I do use it as well; it's more complicated)?
