I've never used fonts with GD before, but on the surface, this looks to
be a path issue. Assuming that Macintosh HD is the volume you boot up
OS X from, try changing the first line to:
putenv('GDFONTPATH=/Fonts/');
because what you see as Macintosh HD is actually / to the UNIX layer

I checked out a PHP book today and it did mention running PHP scripts that way, without a .php extension. No, it still has to have a .php extension, or an extension that your web server recognizes as PHP. It might be worth pointing out that this behavior is customizable in any decent HTTP server. I know Apache lets you specify what extensions get parsed by which parser. Being that you're wanting to use ASP, I'm assuming you're also using IIS. Good luck finding out how to do that. Your original question (I think, I'm just coming into this thread) was using PHP and ASP in the same page. You can't do that, but this is how close you can get: (Note that it's very inefficient and resource-intensive): Say you wanted ASP to parse the file first, then PHP. Have the ASP file be called, do your ASP voodoo there, and then call the PHP file (like with a HTTP redirect or form submission). Pass variables back and forth via the querystring. Not that I'm recommending this.

Re: [PHP] Detecting Browser Type/OS from HTTP_USER_AGENT
Erik, While I agree in principal, you must remember that not all UAs (User Agents) comply with the Standards, especially newer ones like XHTML, CSS 2, etc. Even a somewhat mainstream UA, like OmniWeb, for example (because I've been having problems with it lately) will not render your page the same as, say, IE or NS4 or the Gecko engine. Patrick, To answer your question without coding for you, search some JavaScript sites for UA detection scripts. Then, translate them into PHP (I'd say just use the JS, but 1: Not all UAs support JS, 2: those who do support JS may have it turned off by user preference, and 3: this is, after all, a PHP list ;) I once saw a beautiful script which detected everything from Netscape to IE to Sun's UA to Amaya to Opera, iCab, OmniWeb, Mozilla, Konqueror, WebTV, etc, and versions of each, too, then grouped the UAs together by capability (which standards they support/do not support), and redirected appropriately. I, unfortunately, cannot remember where I saw this script. May have been at www.javascript.com (there are some good ones there). Or, try builder.com's Web Builder Library. -- Chris Garaffa At 9:58 AM -0400 6/27/02, Erik Price wrote: On Thursday, June 27, 2002, at 08:57 AM, Patrick Teague wrote: Has anyone else done something similar to this?
