On Windows, there are several tools that will give similar results. Don't know about Linux. OTOH, maybe your script isn't timed correctly? Is the tested loop done on the localhost or from another remote host establishing the connection via the internet? FYI, if you're hosting it yourself and have async connection like DSL or cable, the upload to your server is the download connection speed which should be faster than your upload (from the server) to the clients. And a 5MB file shouldn't take long provided that your server hasn't reached its resources limits and the internet pipe isn't consumed by other services or systems on the LAN.

[PHP] strtotime woes
Hello all.
Long time no see! Anyway, I'm having an issue with strtotime(). Why do the
following return valid timestamps?
?php
echo strtotime ('a').': '.date (m/d/Y, strtotime ('a')).br/;
echo strtotime ('a,a').': '.date (m/d/Y, strtotime ('a,a')).br/;
echo strtotime ('a,a,a').': '.date (m/d/Y, strtotime ('a,a,a')).br/;
?
These result in today's date:
1273049449: 05/05/2010
1273049449: 05/05/2010
1273049449: 05/05/2010
Each time the page is reloaded, the seconds jump up... but still today's date.
Why is this? I can repeat the same results by changing the 'a' to any other
single letter: g or h,k or r,s,t or whatever - all the same result.
Thanks,
~Philip

You are not going to like what I have to say, but please accept the following as constructive criticism with no personal intent meant. The site fails W3C CSS validation with 96 errors. The site fails W3C HTML validation with 92 errors and 9 warnings. I have not run into a site like this since before the turn of this century where we had browser wars. The problem isn't just with my browser, but many more as you can see here: http://www.browsercam.com/public.aspx?proj_id=516739 The page (not addressing the entire site) is riddled with embedded javascript and embedded styling both of which are considered bad from. I haven't even addressed accessibility, graceful degradation, or separation of content from presentation from behavior all of which are the goals of best practices sites -- and all of which this site fails miserably. My advice, which I realize that you didn't ask for, is if you want to provide something of substance, then do so for all and not just the privileged elite who think they are the leading edge with this type of gimmick nonsense. This site is a step backward into the old browser wars. Of course, I could tell you what I really think, but I don't want to be too abrasive. :-) Cheers, tedd -- --- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thanks for the link. I did a little bit more research and found a site that may
help explain what is happening.
http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/timezone.htm
In the column labeled Zone are all the letters of the alphabet (except J).
So, then I thought to print the times with the date() functions above - they
were various time(zones). Basically, I think strotime() is just ignoring the
characters after the first comma in the values above, so then it was finding
valid timezones. Odd.
Hope this helps someone in the future
Thanks,

By the way, if you're stuck on 5.2.10, you could simply cast the result to

You're right, but this is about how 5.2.10 ignores the second parameter and
always returns a class, which appears to be a bug. I'm not sure which other
versions have this same problem, but 5.2.11 has correct behavior, which
seems to suggest they found and fixed it by then. I can't find an entry for
this problem in PHP's bug database, however.
My suggestion to typecast the result of json_decode() should only be
followed if you need an array and are required to work with version 5.2.10.

[PHP] Really impressive work
Hi gang: I found something that really impressed me -- please review this: http://palomarjewelry.com/product/id/19/collectionId/1/typeId/3 Try changing the number and type of stones and watch the main image change (i.e., the basket). If one calculates the number of permutations required to show this single piece of jewelry with 12 different stone types located in 15 different stone positions, you will arrive at a very large number. The specific math escapes me at the moment but something in the order of 15 factorial -- a very large number. Now, I realize that this company did not take 15 factorial pictures of this single piece of jewelry to present all these different combinations but instead placed smaller images of each of the stones at specific coordinates on the larger image of the jewelry. I imagine that each piece of jewelry must have the coordinates of each setting in a database so that they can on-the-fly assemble the finished product as per user's direction. For example, let's take the image of the basket pendant showing three stones. Each of the stone locations would have a specific pixel placement (i.e., x,y). As such, the database would have a field for the image and three location fields for stones 1, 2, and 3. Now, we also have smaller images of 12 different stones (in heads) that are all the same size. Thus, as the user picks the stones and positions they want and the image is assembled on the fly. Is that the way you see this? Or is there a better way?

Cheers, tedd Personally, I wouldn't bother building an image generator (which isn't that difficult to do with GD or Imagick--and I wouldn't go as far as to save the values in a database). This can easily be done in Javascript. The only reason to build an image generator is if the images need to be used in a non-browser environment, e.g. sent to the user in an e-mail or enclosed in a PDF. At minimum you need all colorized images of the jewels, but you could even do with one single image and colorize it using canvas. Too bad that's not supported in anything other than (iirc) Firefox and the Webkit nightly. Michiel

I haven't even addressed accessibility, graceful degradation, or separation of content from presentation from behavior all of which are the goals of best practices sites -- and all of which this site fails miserably. My advice, which I realize that you didn't ask for, is if you want to provide something of substance, then do so for all and not just the privileged elite who think they are the leading edge with this type of gimmick nonsense. This site is a step backward into the old browser wars. Of course, I could tell you what I really think, but I don't want to be too abrasive. :-) Cheers, tedd *sigh* once again you people focus on something S off topic compared to the meat of the thread -- which is a production repository checkout script. As for my site. [*] I wrote it like 4 years ago or more when there were TWO browsers worth mentioning: IE and FF. [*] I used a 3rd party JS library from www.ceiton.com -- who are pretty much dormant. [*] The cieton code is not only compressed and impossible to debug, but often written in German! [*] I've looked at it a few times over the years to try and remove the limitation, because I also agree that most modern browsers should be able to handle the JS at this point. [*] I really don't care about the fringe browsers of Chrome, Opera, Konquerer, Blackberry, whatever (for my PERSONAL HOME PAGE) [*] http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp [*] http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=0 [*] I'm sorry your using a browser that falls under the top 25%. In fact ALL the browsers besides IE and FF don't even add up to 16% of the ENTIRE market. Give me a break man. I've got more important things to do. [*] If you don't have Firefox, well then let me tell you where to go download it for free: http://www.mozilla.com They make it for all major OS's in case you didn't know. [*] Honestly, I also dislike Apple. I think it's stupid for them to make a browser. I think they make crappy products. I HATE my iPod. I am a Linux guy (or was until I realized my time was too valuable to keep wasting on Linux as a Desktop), and WANTED to LOVE OSX. I sold the damn notebook after a month of owning it. OSX blows. It's too dumbed down IMHO (as is Windows7, but that's another topic). In light of recent events where they fired a guy for showing that even more stupid iPad (great, a big iPhone that can't even call) to Wozniak and then going after Gizmodo, I have even more distain for them. So I really have no care to support them in any way shape or form. If the site works for Safari, fine. If not, oh well, change your USER_AGENT string or get Firefox/IE. As for CSS, inline styles, separation of logic, and all that other stuff you ASSUME I don't use -- you are very wrong. I just happen to use a lot of PHP to dynamically create various parts. In some cases I inline styles where they are used one time or used in a PHP function. I freely admit that there is some archaic code there too. Code that I'm not about to go back and re-factor at this stage. I know much more now than I did then.

Re: [PHP] Re: Really impressive work
Nathan Rixham wrote: tedd wrote: Hi gang: I found something that really impressed me -- please review this: http://palomarjewelry.com/product/id/19/collectionId/1/typeId/3 Try changing the number and type of stones and watch the main image change (i.e., the basket). If one calculates the number of permutations required to show this single piece of jewelry with 12 different stone types located in 15 different stone positions, you will arrive at a very large number. The specific math escapes me at the moment but something in the order of 15 factorial -- a very large number. Now, I realize that this company did not take 15 factorial pictures of this single piece of jewelry to present all these different combinations but instead placed smaller images of each of the stones at specific coordinates on the larger image of the jewelry. I imagine that each piece of jewelry must have the coordinates of each setting in a database so that they can on-the-fly assemble the finished product as per user's direction. For example, let's take the image of the basket pendant showing three stones. Each of the stone locations would have a specific pixel placement (i.e., x,y). As such, the database would have a field for the image and three location fields for stones 1, 2, and 3. Now, we also have smaller images of 12 different stones (in heads) that are all the same size. Thus, as the user picks the stones and positions they want and the image is assembled on the fly. Is that the way you see this? Or is there a better way? Better way, no. Alternative ways, yes. SVG Canvas + JS HTML4 + CSS + JS (optional transparent pngs) Flash Any number of java plugins (although perhaps overkill). Personally though, I'd go for SVG or the way it is currently implemented with server side gd or suchlike. The reason for saying this is to ensure that the results were identical on as many platforms as possible - the one addition I would make would be an update image button which displayed on noscript, which resubmitted the page / form and showed the image - for those without (or with non compliant) js implementations. I tend to agree that it's impressive, personally I don't think the code behind it rocket science; however the idea to peice what is essentially how many numbers do you want, what are those numbers together in such a user pleasing and useful way, is definately something to applaud :) I would use PNGs with alpha transparencies. You have X images with the appropriate positions and then you just overlay an alpha transparency PNG in the correct spot via CSS. Pretty simple actually. Relative position the ring, absolute position the stone relative to the ring. Even IE6 will support this with pngfix.js. Viewing the page media in Firefox though shows they are generating it server side though.
