[PHP] Re: Does anyone here use TCPDF?
Ralph, Paul, Thank you for responding. I don't use TCPDF; I use FPDF, but I imagine the drill is about the same I tried using FPDF, but it did not support UTF-8/Japanese. It claims some support in the documentation, but after much experimentation, I verified it does not. That is why I switched to TCPDF. What you're asking sounds like you want to *edit* an existing PDF via a PHP class, No, I just want to write on top of it. And that was possible with FPDI/FPDF, but I had to abandon those as they did not support Japanese. I attempted to use the same functions as FPDI/FPDF, but they did not work in TCPDF. have a look in the archive of this list. there is a topic writing japanese test in an excisting pdf its of 31. of August, this should help That was a thread I started. Things have changed slightly since I now know that only TCPDF supports Japanese. So I still need to know if/how to write text into a PDF, like I did with FPDF, but with TCPDF instead. If this turns out to not be possible, I am going to be suffering a great deal. -- Dave M G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Re: Does anyone here use TCPDF?
Hi Dave, if its the case u could do a good deal, why u don't climp urself into the pdf format? It is nothing else then a presentation format, not magic, complicated and huge yes, but at the end just a text file. I am not that pdf specialist, but I know at least for the older pdf formats the enconding is open and well documented. I have a book on my shelf called 'pdf bible' an it explains the pdf byte code. Another idea would be to contact all the companies creating these pdf converters (html pdf, word-pdf, pdf-word) they should be able to tell u the answer. And even may be there is a programm u could use in a OS batch process to put ur text in. At least just contact Adobe and ask them how to do it, u might get an answer. sorry thats all I have coming up in my mind for now. ralph_def...@yahoo.de Dave M G mar...@autotelic.com wrote in message news:4abb1e10.9070...@autotelic.com...

Please sign-on again. NOTE: Your browser may also limit secure connection time, and automatically log you out independent of our timeout procedure. that could be referring to browsers timing out an ssl connection. or perhaps the cookie? btw: when you said in your email you wouldn't trust a long gc_maxlifetime, and you would only use a cookie-based solution for long session. did you mean that you wouldn't trust php's cookie-based session handler? and you would use a custom handler instead?

This would be far better then shutting down the whole server just because there a 100 of idle sessions waiting to get used again. as u mention a maxlivetime of 6h I would bet, that this is the problem.

An error handler that passes through to the previous error handler:
?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
function my_error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) {
restore_error_handler();
trigger_error($errstr, $errno);
}
set_error_handler('my_error_handler', E_ALL);
trigger_error('TEST', E_USER_ERROR);
You'll lose the file and line, though, because you're actually raising
another error with the same message at a new point in the code.

Isn't it simpler with http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.shell-exec.php ? Perhaps. But the command to execute would be relatively arbitrary. What I'm trying to do is set up a script that will filter the results of a grep. But what I'm grepping and where I'm starting from would change.

echo bob | myScript.php
In myScript.php, I'm doing:
$handle = popen( 'php://stdin', 'r' );
echo var_export( $handle, TRUE ) . \n\n;
What output are you getting from those lines, and what were you
expecting? $handle is just a resource, same as if you opened a regular
file -- you still need to read data from it with something like
fgets().
If I'm writing a quick-and-dirty script to process piped-in data, I
find this construct to work reasonably well:
while(!feof(STDIN)) {
$line = fgets(STDIN);
// trim() $line here if I don't want trailing/vertical whitespace
// now do something with $line
}
The one weakness of that form is that I always get an empty line at
the end, but as long as I check for that in the loop (which I should
usually be doing anyway), it's no problem.

Exactly. And if you just want redirected data you can try:
$data = file_get_contents(php://stdin);
--or--
For an array of lines:
$lines = file(php://stdin);

Re: [PHP] Re: session.gc_maxlifetime
php not but perhaps the client its not clear and commonly defined what clients do with cookies on reconnect and stuff or long idle times. Maybe not, but I'd be really surprised. An HTTP client is supposed to decide whether to send a cookie by looking at the domain name and path of the URL it's requesting. These things are at a totally different layer from IP addresses -- and even if they weren't, in most cases I would think a browser is going to be ignorant of public IP address changes because it's going to be behind a NAT device. I would expect as source the new browsers where more and more users use subwindows to have concurrent sessions, does anybody know how they handle ip changes? I'm not. What specific situation do you have in mind in which a browser would even be aware of an IP change on the client side? Maybe there are common cases I'm not thinking of.

[PHP] RIGHT Function?
Hi all,
I could use some help. I've scoured both the MySQL and PHP sites
that I know of and can't find an answer to this.
I have a price field that sometimes contains entries like this:
250,(min)
5.32
How can I pull just the price ($5.32 in this example) from this field
to display on a web page? Is there a RIGHT function in PHP? When I
search the PHP site, I'm being told there isn't one.
Here's the code I've been using:
?php $result = mysql_query(SELECT priceList,unitprice FROM catalog
WHERE itemid='WR-1240',$db);
printf('List: $%sbr /', number_format(mysql_result($result,
0,priceList),2));
printf('Your Price: $%s', number_format(mysql_result($result,
0,unitprice),2)); ?
Thanks,
Frank

How come the email is being displayed with br instead of line breaks?
Re: [PHP] html email showing br instead of line breaks
\r\n should be between double quotes: \r\n I think you'll still see the literal brs in your final email, though because htmlspecialchars() is converting the angle-brackets in the tag to their respective HTML entities (lt; for and gt; for ). A bit of a thorny problem because you probably do want to escape HTML-characters in the message for security purposes. I suppose you could call str_replace() after htmlspecialchars(), instead of before it as you currently do. OTOH, why not just send your email as plain text, instead of HTML?

[PHP] Downloader help needed :-(
HI everyone,
Thanks for those of you in the past that helped me with my downloader
not displaying the filename. Someone gave me a link to the downloader
below which works GREAT but i've tried and tried to limit the data
transfer to 60KB a second andI can't get it to work, can any of you
see what I could add to get it to work? The first peice of code the
code I WANT to use as it lets me download with the correct filename
etc .. but the second piece of code allows me to limit the speed
of the transfer but when I try to merge the second with the first it
craps out on me.
Any help would REALLY be appreciated on this one.
Thanks everyone.
Piece of code 1 (Code I WANT to use)
function forceDownload($file) {
/**
* Function forceDownload:

$filename = basename($file);
if(strpos(strtoupper($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']), 'MSIE') !==
false
strpos($filename, '.') !== false) {
$parsename = explode('.', $filename);
$last = count($parsename) - 1;
$filename = implode('%2E', array_slice($parsename, 0,

if(@$file = fopen($file, rb)) {
while(!feof($file))
echo fread($file, 8192);
fclose($file);
};
exit(0);
};
};
Piece of code 2 (Which limits nice but has other issues)
$speed = 60; // i.e. 60 kb/s download rate
if(file_exists($file) is_file($file)) {
header(Cache-control: private);
header(Content-Type: application/octet-stream);

If you use fopen on a web URL, then it will always return the output the script generates. That's how http works! Sorry, my bad. Ash is correct, the method that is suggested will work. But you will need to enable options in your php.ini that are not on by default for security reasons, plus as Ben points out, you will need to filter out the scruff that is generated to capture just the data output from your include. Mind you that all of this also requires that the file that you are including is accessible via the web. It could be in a folder that is not web accessible. Sorry for the initial confusion!
