FORCETYPE directive on your handler script(s)?
I've certainly got some work in the form:
somesite.com/scriptname/var1/var2/var3
that seems to work well with no use of the rewrite module.
Aside from the fact that I've yet to find any actual evidence that
search engines treat what most people consider 'search engine friendly'
urls any different from the 'unfriendly dynamic' ones. Next time you
search for something online have a look at the URLs and see how many
belong to forums with dynamic URLs. More than you'd think I would
imagine, but it does go a long way to prove that most search engines
don't give much credence to the URL these days.
Of course, it does help if your keywords are in the URL, but I've not
noticed much of a difference between:
somesite.com/page-about-subject
and
somesite.com/?page=page-about-subject
I think that this may be an artifact of an earlier time. There
was a time when SE's didn't do so well with query strings, but it'd
be a little silly to think their owners didn't realize this and left
things exactly the way they were back in 2002 ... wouldn't it?

[PHP] Re: 2D barcodes
Hello, on 05/11/2010 07:45 PM Brian Dunning said the following: I have a project where I need to add some 2D barcodes onto some PDF files. I plan to use fpdi, since I've used it before and am familiar with it, but I need a source to generate the 2D barcodes, preferably as a png or jpg. Anyone have a suggestion - either a local classfile or a reliable web service? Free is preferred. :-) Do you mean QRCode?

Re: [PHP] PHP Encoder like IonCube
Output looks pretty typical for something encrypted/obfuscated. As the script will run, it needs to unpack itself ... so you can write automated unpackers for this kind of thing if you want. Best go with Phpsters advice of the contract, you'd be a lot better off (assuming the court system works).

RE: [PHP] __call and recursion
Hi Daniel,
Could you please tell us what version of PHP and OS you're using.
The following code fragment runs as expected on my PHP 5.3.2/Windows/XP/32bit:
?php
header('Content-Type: text/plain');
class A
{
private function method_a( $argument )
{
echo('private method_a(\'' . $argument . '\') ...' .
PHP_EOL );
}
public function __call( $method, $arguments )
{
if( method_exists( $this, $method ) is_callable(
array( $this, $method ) ) )
{
call_user_func_array( array( $this, $method ),
$arguments );
}
else
{
echo('method \'' . $method . '\' either does
not exist, or is not callable ...' . PHP_EOL );
}
}
}
$a = new A();
$a-method_a('argument');
$a-method_b('argument');
?
Results in:
private method_a('argument') called ...
method 'method_b' either does not exist, or is not callable ...
Perhaps if you provided some code we could spot the problem.
I would guess there's something fishy in your __call() method.
Best of luck,
Lawrance

[PHP] Generating PHP from WSDL
Let's if anyone can come up with a non-brittle solution to this. In order to create the framework code for a webservice client I have generated it from the server's wsdl. Unfortunately the wsdl (which is out of my control) tries to use extension base=... to say that 'B' extends/inherits from 'A', and the tool I use doesn't understand it, with the result that the generated code doesn't include that relatonship, and so sending a 'B' to the webservice doesn't work because it doesn't also include the expected properties of 'A'. Possible solutions I have thought of are: * create 'C', inheriting from 'A' and 'B' and send one of those instead, but of course php doesn't support multiple-inheritance; * manually change 'B' so that it does inherit from 'A'. I don't like this because if the wsdl changes then that client-side code needs to again be changed manually. * use composition instead. Doesn't seem it will work because the marshalling of the objects seems to want to use the properties directly (i.e. instead of using getters as it should do). Does anyone have any other ideas? Are there any generators out there that handle something like: s:complexType name=B s:complexContent mixed=false s:extension base=tns:A ... /s:complexType and produce nusoap client code? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Well, again, I'm not purporting to be an authority, but the
first thing that comes to mind is that my reasoning would be
much the same as my reasoning in building stuff: I've got a nice
STIHL chainsaw, but I don't need it to cut two-by-fours, and
I've got access to a Hole Hawg but don't need it to make a
path for a CAT5 cable. I guess you could call the concept
avoiding overkill, but I'm not cognizant enough with the
inner workings of Apache to know really how much of a hit
the rewrite module makes. I suppose, in terms of computing, it's
kind of similar to a Unix philosophy: small tools that
do one job without extra fluff.

I guess you could call the concept avoiding overkill, but I'm not cognizant enough with the inner workings of Apache to know really how much of a hit the rewrite module makes. I suppose, in terms of computing, it's kind of similar to a Unix philosophy: small tools that do one job without extra fluff. Doing it in PHP is like to be doing it with extra fluff. Mod_rewrite is designed for rewriting and it does it well. Doing the same job in PHP is likely to use more resources and be more complex. In short: using mod_rewrite for url rewriting is not overkill - it's using the proper tool for the job.

Do your scripts only work for certain browsers? No. I created a little miniscule dumping ground for some useful scripts *I* use, and if someone else can use them, then feel free.

Everything in the world supports it. It is stable and fast. As for browser, I use FF for developing (mostly for Firebug) and some flavor of IE (usually all three to test with) as that is what most people still use.

One doesn't exclude the other. Not blaming at all. Just saying that while you see inline JS or CSS, it's actually not as it appears. Some of that is generated in routines or loops.

[PHP] GD - import a PNG image and make transparant
Hi,
I am trying to import a PNG image from disk, place it on top of a
transparant image created in GD and output it to the browser. In the case of
a low opacity setting, I would expect to see the background colour from the
HTML page.
If I set the opacity to 0, everything works - I end up with a transparant
image.
However, if I set it for any value 0 (even 1) instead of a
very-faint-image the whole thing goes black. As the opacity level goes up
from 0, the amount of black reduces and the amount of imported image
increases - but this is not what I want.
I am using this code:
?php
$src = imagecreatefrompng('test.png');
$img_width = imagesx($src);
$img_height = imagesy($src);
// Create trans image
$dest = imagecreatetruecolor($img_width, $img_height);
//imagesavealpha($dest, true); // This has no effect it appears
$trans_colour = imagecolorallocatealpha($dest, 0, 255, 0, 128);
// Make the background transparent
imagecolortransparent($dest, $trans_colour);
//imagefill($dest, 0, 0, $trans_colour); // This does not work
// Merge src on top of dest, with opacity of 1 in this case
imagecopymerge($dest, $src, 0, 0, 0, 0, $img_width, $img_height, 1);
// Output and free from memory
header('Content-Type: image/png');
imagepng($dest);
?
The images that this outputs, at opacity levels 0,1 and 80 on a red and
green background (screenshots of a HTML page) can be downloaded from
http://www.box.net/shared/h9zn4tjgro
Any help appreciated!

Re: [PHP] GD - import a PNG image and make transparant
Hi Alex,
I have a php file I made just a few months ago.
It takes a gif, jpeg or png of any size and sizes it proportionately
to a specified size and then outputs a png.
If the image is a transparent png or transparent gif, it will still
hold the transparency.
This is just a test page and it tested ok for me, but it is my first
one. I also tested it on PHP 5. Dont know about compatibility to
older versions.
Knowing that, here you go.

How exactly are you setting the opacity for the image? The traditional
way is to use imagecolorallocatealpha() on the source.
