How do you strip all tags, but leave some tags (such as b, i, and u -- I know these are depreciated, but my client wants them anyway). From the manual: allowable_tags You can use the optional second parameter to specify tags which should not be stripped. Note: HTML comments and PHP tags are also stripped. This is hardcoded and can not be changed with allowable_tags. Note: This parameter should not contain whitespace. strip_tags() sees a tag as a case-insensitive string between and the first whitespace or .

Re: [PHP] Expected behaviour or bug?

Hello list, I have a little question with PHP's internal working. I've
managed to reduce the test to the following lines:
$globalVariable = 'i am a global variable';

unset($globalVariable);
}
testFunction();
if(isset($globalVariable)) {
var_dump('global variable IS set');

When executing the above test, you will get printed that the global variable
is set, despite unsetting it in the function. Is it really the intention to
unset a global variable inside a function locally or have I just happen to
found a little bug?

You could use substr to retrieve the rest of the string and just start
over (do it in a while loop to catch all).
Though, it's probably not really efficient if you have long strings.
You'd be better off with preg_match. You can do it all with a single
line of code, albeit that regex takes quite some time to figure out if
not experienced.

My approach would be to split the hole text into smaller chunks (with e.g.
explode()) and extract the interesting parts with a regular expression. Maybe
this will give you some ideas:
$chunks = explode(-30-, $mystring);
foreach($chunks as $chunk) {
preg_match_all(/News Releases\n(.+)/s, $chunk, $matches);
var_dump($matches[1]);
}
The regex matches all text between News Releases and the end of the chunk.

Have you read up on 'preg_match_all' in the manual? What makes you think that
preg_match_all returns strings? $matches[1], in the above case contains an
array with all matches from the parenthesized subpattern, which is (.+).
This is ugly. How can I clean this up like this?
$mynewarray= array {
[0]= Residential Fire Determined to be Accidental in Nature ...
[1]= Arrest Made in Residential Fire ...
}
Why not add two lines of code within the first loop?
$chunks = explode(-30-, $mystring);
foreach($chunks as $chunk) {
preg_match_all(/News Releases\n(.+)/s, $chunk, $matches);
foreach($matches[1] as $matched_text_line) {

Hi Adam.
Although I've never worked with PUT/DELETE requests, here are my thoughts.
1) According to the manual, file_get_contents only allows URL's as filenames if
fopen wrappers are enabled. Make sure that this is the case (have a look at
the settings in your php ini file). Do you get any data when changing
'file_get_contents' to e.g. (as found here:
http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.put-method.php)?
?php
/* PUT data comes in on the stdin stream */
$putdata = fopen(php://input, r);
/* Open a file for writing */
$fp = fopen(myputfile.ext, w);
/* Read the data 1 KB at a time
and write to the file */
while ($data = fread($putdata, 1024))
fwrite($fp, $data);
/* Close the streams */
fclose($fp);
fclose($putdata);
?
2) Have a look in your Appache log files and make sure the client is actually
making a valid PUT request.

Although I never worked with SOAP so far, at least when it comes to
XML namespaces, you need to explicitly set those somewhere in your
code before use (which you haven't). Have you asked Google or even
looked at the MAN pages? After two minutes of googling, I found this.
From the SOAP man page:

25-Aug-2006 01:20
If you want to build a Soap Server for Microsoft Office's client (like

function callback($buffer)
{
$s = array('ns1:RegistrationResponse', 'ns1:', 'xmlns:ns1=urn:Microsoft.Search
');
$r = array('RegistrationResponse xmlns=urn:Microsoft.Search',
'', '');
return (str_replace($s, $r, $buffer));

ob_start('callback');
$server-handle();
ob_end_flush();

I have arround 140 million files on one of my storage server (38 TByte) with a size of some kBytes up to a half GByte and I have set the blocksize to 4 kByte... Calculating the wasted space give me arround 340 GByte... Reducing the blocksize to 2 kByte the wasted space is only 170 GBYte. But I give a f..k on it... Diskspace is cheap (even using 300 GByte SCSI drives) and I realy do not like to reinitialize 10 Raid-5 volumes (each 16 HDD) with 3900 GBytes of usable space I agree, disk space is cheap. And to be honest, I am now convinced that storage space really isn't a serious issue. So, to sum up. Previously I was working with the idea to store both old and new values. But, thanks to what Bastien Koert suggested earlier, the history table now stores changes (=new text) only. I think that this is much more sleek to work with. Besides that, before recording something to the history table, I do some filtering on the new text which means that minor changes are walked over.

Hej, why not do a simple strlen() before comparison? Like if strlen (or mb_strlen()) is less than 50 do not serialize/ compare. Or Like levenchtein(), You could do : ?php (strlen($string2) - similar_text($string,$string2)) ? to see how much characters have been changed. Thank you for your respons. I have thought of such a sorting mechanism too. But on the other hand, the biggest drawback would be that even minor changes that might be really important could get lost. And my goal is to really keep track on everything my users do. And, in the long run, the problem with the database that eventually could/will grow very large in size, is not solved. //frank ..please keep responses on list.

$ext = substr($filename, strpos($filename,'.'), strlen

All I want to do is grab the file extension and verify that it is
a .zip or a .pdf etc. file. This is working for small files (under
a few megs) but for some reason it fails when I get bigger. I have
increased the allowed memory size to 50 MB's I'm testing with a 44

When it fails, it says the file type is not allowed even though it

Re: [PHP] SCanning text of PDF documents
A reliable solution depends partly on the pdf document itself. Consider if your pdf document contains roted text or text that spans about several different blocks/pages. My experience with ps2acsii and other ghostscript related tools is that sometimes it works quite well, sometimes the output is rather messy. The most reliable way of extracting text from a pdf is (I think) a product called PDF TET from PDFlib Gmbh. Yes, it costs some money for a license, but you are able to get almost everything out of the pdf then. http://www.pdflib.com/products/tet/ Maybe some magic with OpenOffice could do the trick as well? //frank 15 maj 2008 kl. 10.19 skrev Angelo Zanetti: Hi All.

Mike. I would start by confirming that the pdf library has been enabled/loaded successfully. Call phpinfo() and look for the pdf library. It should be there. Since I am on Mac OS X, I am not sure what php_cpdf.dll/php_pdf.dll really is (pdflib? - why two libraries?).

Re: [PHP] Re: Not getting expected result from file()
If you are not able to get anything into your DB (and your connection
is ok), then two things might be wrong: your input or the query
string itself.
Echo out the query string and try to use the query
manually (directly with a MySQL client). If the query string is ok,
you might check your MySQL connection settings (var_dump, echo etc).
If the query string is not ok, you have to look at the input values
for the query ($regName, $regAddress etc).

If you have php 5.0.0 you can use the FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES flag

[PHP] Problem with timeout
Hello. I am currently working on a script that parses a given http adress by looking for anchor tags, background images and so on - a crawler if you like. The downloaded content is temporarily stored on the server (Mac OS X Server 10.4.9 with PHP 5) and, when the script is done, the content is packed into a ZIP archive. It seems that I am having trouble with my Apache timeout setting. Because the script downloads between 250 and 300MB of html, pdf, css files and so on, it is terminated automatically after the specified timeout setting (currently 1200 seconds). Setting max execution time to -1 in the script has no effect (which has been noticed previously on the php.net manual page). Is there any other way (with PHP) to come around this problem besides setting the time-out in the Apache config to more than 1200 seconds? The Apache manual says that the time out value can only be changed within the core configuration scope. My initial idea was to set the value in a .htaccess file which unfortunately is not allowed. I might also add that the script is already optimized for speed so to say.

Even if Apache does not give up on your PHP script, the HTTP client might do so. This is also not a good idea for a site with several clients because Apache could easily run low on available sockets, causing a DoS. I suggest you just spawn a background process from your PHP script, through some shell command like batch and nohup. The background process can still be coded in PHP with the CLI interface. Thank you for sharing your suggestions. The idea of running the script as a background process seems very elegant to me, I have to admit. Since my script is executed only once a week, it would be sufficient to set up a simple cron job. Modifications to the script are also rather small, since I already have e.g. functions for output logging, process locking and so on. At the end of the long process, you alert the user job was done (e.g. by mail or by some kind of AJAX mechanism) and let him download the result. In the Apache-spawned script: ?php // This will launch the process in background. // Be sure to set $job_id. $cmd_path = /path/to/some/job/dir/job$job_id.sh; $cmd = fopen( $cmd_path, 'w' ); fwrite( $cmd, #!/bin/sh\n. nohup php -f /path/to/your/scripts/long_process.php someargs\n. rm -f $cmd_path ); fclose( $cmd ); shell_exec( batch -f $cmd_path ); // Tell the user the job was scheduled... ?

Wait a minute. Are you talking about a PHP time limit, or an Apache time limit?! I was talking about the Apache time limit. As you most certainly know, the Apache time limit is superior to the maximal execution time set inside a PHP script. Therefore, setting the max execution time to 0 (no limit) has no effect if the script reaches the Apache time limit specified by the TimeOut directive. Of course, since this is my own server and I have root access, I could set the Apache time limit to a higher value. But, as Emmanuel already pointed out ... because Apache could easily run low on available sockets, causing a DoS. So I do not feel that this is the right way to go.

Not allowed as in you can't have .htaccess, or not allowed as in somebody turned off the ability to change PHP's timeout setting? With not allowed I ment that you are not able to set the Apache directive timeout in a .htaccess file (at least not with Apache 1.3) since this directive is only legal within the server core configuration. I still think that the best way to go is to not involve Apache at all when running the script.

I would like to hook up on this issue a little bit more. I am

regarding how to implement a good (normative) url structure so to
say when it comes to multi lingual sites. Let me give you an example.
IBM has many different domains including .se, .de, .com, .es and so
on. But, all local domains are redirected to e.g. www.ibm.com/de or
www.ibm.com/se and so on. Is this common practise? Right now, I
am about to restructure my employers site. But, in contrast to for
example the IBM site, I would like to bind the content to the
corresponding domain - without redirecting the visitor. All english
content for example will be under the .com domain, all swedish
content will be under .se domain. Hope you see what I mean.
I am not seeking advices about how to implement such a structure (I
have done this already). I am more interested in pros and cons with
either way. My hope is that the site will be more Google friendly.

Although using country codes or flags to represent languages might appear to work well with a very small and select sampling, it breaks down quickly when you include more groups. Maybe what would serve you better would be language-specific sub- domains, e.g.: sv.example.com (website in Swedish) contrasted with: example.se (website in Sweden) See: IS0 639-2 Alpha-3 codes arranged alphabetically by the English name of language http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/English_list.php By the way, because your question is not how to implement such a system in PHP, perhaps this topic isn't really appropriate for this list.

Yes, of course. Maintaining such a site without rewriting urls would
be a nightmare. When I said that those sites are redirecting users,
I was thinking about response headers.

It seems they are usually using the same layout and design and the

concluded they
are using the same framework, i can't imagine using several copies
of the

if they
were using seperate directories for languages, IMO.

Hi Dave. I don't think you are able to detect your users character encoding with php only (at least not rock-solid). Just some days ago, there was a discussion about that issue (at least concerning Safari) on the Apple web dev mailing list. Have a look at: http://lists.apple.com/archives/web-dev/2007/Jan/msg00038.html I could be possible to send some information about character encoding along with the user submitted post data to your php script as well. Depending on that encoding, do some string replace on your input data. Have you provided a valid charset encoding in your html?

My question is, how do I overcome this. If I set my browser encoding to Latin-1 and enter the data I get that odd symbol, if I set it to UTF-8 I get clean data. Is there a way to sniff out what encoding the browser is using and then clean the data in any way.

I would begin by looking at the source where the data is coming from. In order to track the bug, maybe (temporarily) you could have a db where you would strore a var_dump on posted data together with a var_dump on $_SERVER. It might be possible as well to get some information about the users curent browser encoding by using some java script?

Re: [PHP] I lied, another question / problem
I believe that only two things could be messing up your validation:
a) input data
b) your function
a) Do a var_dump on your input data. Is there any white space
characters or anything else that do not belong there in the string?
b) Rewrite your function/rethink what you are doing. You said that
your function should match letters from a to Z and some special
characters like ' - _ .
Try this regex:
^(\w+\s?[\'\-\_\.]?)+$
I would write the function as follows:
function invalidchar ( $input )
{
if ( preg_match ( ^(\w+\s?[\'\-\_\.]?)+$, $input ) ) { // string
matches against the pattern, everything is ok
return $input;
} else {
return false;
}
}
if ( invalidchar ( $my_string ) == false ) {
// do some stuff
} else {
echo You passed the test;
}
// untested

I have file which I use for validating which includes the
following
function:
function invalidchar($strvalue) {
if(!ereg(^[[:alpha:][:space:]\'-.]*$, $strvalue)) {
That regexp matches if $strvalue consists of zero or more
ocurrences
of a letter, a whitespace character, and any character
whose numeric
value lies between the numeric values of ' and . in
your locale.
Zero or more means it also matches an empty string.
I'm still confused. This works perfectly on my other two
pages with
the exact same code. So why is it only this one page that
is causing a problem?
I don't know, I don't care. You have enough problems with
the single
regex, let's concentrate on fixing this first.
This certainly has a bearing. If the code works here then there is
nothing wrong with the code. There is something else going on.
If I enter the word test in my form, without the quotes,
then why is
the fuction returning anything since this is a valid entry.
Should it
not only return a value if there is a problem.
I don't understand that paragraph. The regexp matches, and the
function returns *nothing* just as you programmed it.
That, of course, means that the variable you are assigning this
*nothing* gets set to *nothing*, which, in PHP lingo, is null.
The problem is that it is returning *something*, and that's
what I am
trying to figure out.
If I put this in my code after I do the checking it works, but it
should not work if the function is retuning *nothing*.
So the original question remains, what is being returned and why?
If($formerror) echo Testing; This will display Testing -
it should
not display anything since nothing should be returned.
All I want to accomplish here is to allow the user to enter
a to z, A
to Z, and /\'-_. and a space. Is there a better way to do this?
1. Do you really want to let them enter backslashes, or are
you trying
to escape the apostrophe?
2. Does that mean that /\'-_. (without the quotes) and

three spaces) are valid entries?
Where do you see 3 spaces? In any event, I don't think this is the
problem.
As I have said the code works fine on two other pages,
which logically
suggests that there is something on this page that is causing a
problem.

Re: [PHP] file_get_contents gets 404 error
In the manual it says: You can use a URL as a filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled First of all, I would check your php.ini file. If everything is ok (fopen wrappers are on), maybe you could post some code. The last option would be to use an other way round by using e.g. curl or anything else. If anybody else is able to open the URL you provided, it must be either you code or your server / PHP config that is messing things up. //frank 11 jan 2007 kl. 17.01 skrev Németh Zoltán: 2007. 01. 11, csütörtök keltezéssel 16.55-kor Jochem Maas ezt írta: Németh Zoltán wrote: Hi all, I have some php websites, for example http://www.alterationx.hu/ Now I'm trying to get the site with file_get_contents, and I'm getting this error: Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.alterationx.hu/): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!

Re: [PHP] help with \n\r in strings
If you just want to test for \n\r -
if ( substr ( -2, $my_string ) == \n\r ) { // substr with the
negative value of 2 will give you the last two characters of your string
// do some stuff
}
I think it would be a good idea to explain a little bit more what you
are trying to accomplish. Are you preparing the string for a database
insert? Do you want to sanitise the string?
Stripping off those kind of characters can also be done with trim (or
ltrim - trims white space characters from the left of the string or
rtim - trims from the right). Read the manual for more details and
options.
If you are not quite sure what those characters are, you can find out
with this little helper.
$characters = preg_split( '//', $my_string );
foreach ( $characters as $character ) {
echo ASCI value of the character {$character} is: . ord
( $character ) . br /\n;
}
Then you can look up the values in a ASCI table.

29 dec 2006 kl. 11.01 skrev Peter Lauri:
Try:
$string_as_array = explode(\n, $string);
echo pre;
print_r($string_as_array);

The array that you get will contain segments of the string that is
separated
with \n. Let me know if that helps.

Subject: [PHP] help with \n\r in strings
Hi all,
I receive a text file with a whole bunch of strings. and each line is
terminated by what I presume is \n\r however when I read the string
into
PHP, it seems that the last column of the row and the first column of
the next row are connected but it appears as a space but I've done all
kinds of tests like $spacePos = strrpos($dateAmount, ' '); but this is
always empty.
So is there a way to test for \r\n? or what else can I use to delimit
these two values (last column of row and first column of next row)?
Thanks in advance.
Angelo

Re: [PHP] Re: pattern containing single quote in IF statement
First of all, I strongly feel that you should have double quotes
around the string you like to compare with (e.g. new). Otherwise,
you are comparing against a string but to something else (integer ?).
Without quotes, PHP will throw an error (not sure if it will throw a
fatal error or something else). Second, do a var_dump on $_GET
['query']. What do you get? (white space before, after the string?
encodes quotes?) You may also look at the function strcasecmp, which
is little more elegant than your solution, in my opinion.
Regarding your question about multiple OR, I would do something like:
$things_to_look_for = array ( new, newday ... and so on);
if ( in_array ( $_GET['query'], $things_to_look_for ) ) {
// do some stuff
}

[PHP] Update function for content of existing CD?
Hello all. I am looking for some ideas on how to design / structure a script which checks for updates on files on a existing CD ROM. Every week, I generate content for a CD ROM containing a large number of html pages and PDF files (the CD is distributed to 20 - 30 dealers for ours) . The PHP script which is doing this is outputting a ZIP compressed archive. This ZIP file is then unpacked and burned on a CD. I am now playing with the idea to provide a check-for-updates function on the CD. Because the ZIP archives are rather large in size (300 MB), I am not able to keep all ZIP files. One or two months back is ok. My idea is to have a db table on MySQL containing checksums for all files of the archive and have a script that is able to compare those lists. (one ZIP archive has about 400 - 500 files) My idea is: On the CD's start page I could have a link like: http://myserver.com/ look_for_updates.php?myArchiveName=2006-11-10 The script will then compare checksums for the files included in the archive 2006-11-10 and checksums for the recent file list. It then outputs a new ZIP file including new and updated files. Do you think that there is another (more elegant) way for doing this? Keep in mind that a ZIP file contains about 400-500 files which means that the table would grow rapidly week by week. In only one year the table would contain roughly 25000 rows of data. /frank -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

# [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2006-10-09 22:01:34 +0200:
Thank you Ilaria and Roman for your input. I did not know that preg
is able to deal with PCRE patterns.
preg is obviously short for Perl REGular expressions, while
PCRE positively means Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions.
The regexp syntax from Perl is a superset of POSIX extended
regexps, so anything ereg_ function accept will be good for
preg_ as well (but beware of pattern delimiters).
Thanks for the info. I didn't know that.
As a matter of fact I came up
with the following solution (if someone is interested):
What problem does it solve? I mean, why are you trying to avoid
preg_replace_callback() in the first place?
Maybe because I didn't know better? Initially, I was using
ereg_replace for replacing metric numbers with imperial ones. But
obviously, ereg_replace replaces all instances in the given text
string. A text containing more than one instance of the same unit,
was replaced by the calculated replacement string of the first
finding. So I had to think about other ways to do this - which
brought me to preg_replace_callback (as I already said - I didn't
know that preg takes POSIX patterns as well).
Would you suggest a different way? Would it be faster to do the
replacement with preg_replace_callback compared to the function I wrote?
A page like this one: http://www.nikehydraulics.com/products/

Re: [PHP] ereg_replace with user defined function?
Thanks again for your suggestions.
Actually, - believe it or not - I have never written a class (I am
still learning PHP after three years working with that language). So
I am not quite sure of the benefits of your class. One thing I do
realise is the benefit of replacing the foreach loop with a single
preg_replace_callbak. Let me try to sum up:
With a preg_replace_callback I am able to look for a pattern like: a
number ( float or integer ) followed by whitespace followed by one,
two, three or more characters, followed by a closing character.
e.g.: ((\d{1,10}[,|.]*\d{0,10})*(\s)(\D{1,3})([$|\s|.|,|\)|/]+|
$)) (untested)
If preg finds a match, it will pass an array to the specified
function. In that function I evaluate the unit, see if it is in my
array containing the conversion table. If that is the case,
calculate the new value and return everything. Right?
I will get back with this new approach.
BTW, 0.32/0.34 seconds includes: calling the original html page from
an outside server, loading this page into the DOM parser, walking
through every table and every text string on that page. Convert
everything necessary (the converter array contains about 14 metric -
imperial converters) replace all converted DOM nodes and output
everything. The metric / imperial calculations / replacements take
between 0.00054 and 0.005 seconds per table cell / text string.

Thank you Ilaria and Roman for your input. I did not know that preg
is able to deal with PCRE patterns.
preg is obviously short for Perl REGular expressions, while
PCRE positively means Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions.
The regexp syntax from Perl is a superset of POSIX extended
regexps, so anything ereg_ function accept will be good for
preg_ as well (but beware of pattern delimiters).
Thanks for the info. I didn't know that.
NP, glad to be of help. The relationship is quite obvious if you
look at both syntaxes.
As a matter of fact I came up
with the following solution (if someone is interested):
What problem does it solve? I mean, why are you trying to avoid
preg_replace_callback() in the first place?
Maybe because I didn't know better?
Well your question mentioned preg_replace_callback() so I thought
maybe there was something about the function you didn't like.
Initially, I was using ereg_replace for replacing metric numbers
with
imperial ones. But obviously, ereg_replace replaces all instances in
the given text string. A text containing more than one instance of
the same unit, was replaced by the calculated replacement string of
the first finding. So I had to think about other ways to do this -
which brought me to preg_replace_callback (as I already said - I
didn't know that preg takes POSIX patterns as well).
Would you suggest a different way? Would it be faster to do the
replacement with preg_replace_callback compared to the function I
wrote?
Definitely, and probably by several orders of magnitude.
A page like this one: http://www.nikehydraulics.com/products/
product_chooser_gb.php?productMaingroup=5productSubgroup=33
.. gets converted within 0.32 / 0.34 seconds which I think is
quite ok.
If the time covers only the conversion then it's quite terrible.
Looking at the convertTextString() function below there's a few
obvious optimizations waiting to be done, and... turning the
foreach
into a single preg_replace_callback() is the one that begs
implementing the most (the code below's been tested and works):
class convertor
{
const SI_to_Imperial = 0;
const Imperial_to_SI = 1;
function convert($amount, $unit, $direction)
{
return sprintf(
whatever '%s' of '%s' is in the Imperial system
, $amount
, $unit
);
}
}
function callbackSI2IS(array $SIspec)
{
return convertor::convert(
$SIspec[1]
, $SIspec[2]
, convertor::SI_to_Imperial
);
}
$p = '~
((?:\d+[,|.])*\d+) # amount
\s*
(m{1,2}\b) # meters or millis
~x';
echo preg_replace_callback(
$p
, 'callbackSI2IS'
, file_get_contents('php://stdin')
);
the function takes a text and an array with converters like:
$converters[] = array ( metric = mm, imperial = in,
ratio = 0.039370079, round = 1 );
$converters[] = array ( metric = m, imperial = ft,
ratio
= 3.280839895, round = 1 );

Hello all. Is it possible to have a user defined function for the replacement within an ereg_replace (like preg_replace_callback)? I am working on a script that converts html pages with metric data into imperial data. My script takes text strings containing one or more instances of e.g. 123 mm, 321 mm, 123 kg, 123 cm2 and so on. The script searches the string with a pattern like: ([[:digit:]]+|[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+)([[:blank:]]?)(mm) When the script finds an instance, it stores the matches into an array - ereg ( $pattern, $textstring, $matches ) The replacement (for mm) looks like: round ( ( $matches[1] * 0.039370079 ), 1 ) . $matches[2] . in Everything is working great accept when the string contains more than one instance for example of the metric unit mm. In that case, all instances of xy mm will be replaced with the first occurrence. So, a text like: The product is 230 mm tall, 120 mm thick and 340 mm wide will output as The product is 9.1 in tall, 9.1 in thick and 9.1 in wide - because the replacement string is based / calculated on the first occurrence 230 mm.

Hi Frank,
I think preg_replace_callback is a good solution for you.
If you don't want to use it, you can construct two arrays defining
matches and replacements.
For example:
$matches
[230]
[120]
[340]
$replacements
[9.1]
[replace2]
[replace3]
After you stored matches in $matches using regular expression like
yours,/preg_match_all http://it.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-
split.php/ (([[:digit:]]+|[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+)([[:blank:]]?)
(mm), $string, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER)
you can define $replacements by this way:
for(int =0; icount($matches); i++){
$replacements[$i]=round((substr($matches[$i][0], 0, 3))
*0.039370079),1); //take the last part of match with no digits, I
don't know if there are sure 3 digits
}
for(int i=0; icount($matches); i++){
preg_replace($string, $matches[$i][0], $replacement[$i].in);
}
hope to help you

Maybe you can try to embed the image in a blank html, inside img
tag for example, to show only the image you want.

Re: [PHP] Re: Setting headers for file download
I was working on a script that was supposed to generate PDF files on
the fly and ran into the same problem as you described. MS IE has
always been and will always be (?) a P.I.T.A. when it comes to
following standards (I am not really sure if the header application/x-
octet-steam is a standrad in order to force a download). I came up
with this little helper:
?php
$filename = example.pdf;
$len = filesize ($filename );
if ( ( preg_match('|MSIE ([0-9.]+)|', $agent, $version ) ) ||
( preg_match( '|Internet Explorer/([0-9.]+)|', $agent, $version ) ) )
{
header( 'Content-Type: application/x-msdownload' );
header( 'Content-Length: ' . $len );
if ( $version == '5.5' )
{
header( 'Content-Disposition: filename=' . $filename . '' );
} else {
header( 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $filename .
'' );
}
} else {
header( 'Content-Type: application/pdf' );
header( 'Content-Length: ' . $len );
header( 'Content-disposition: attachment; filename=' . $filename );
}
echo file_get_contents($filename);
?
All browsers I have tested with do show the download frame (Opera,
Safari, IE, Firefox, Mozilla browsers). But, as Richard already
mentioned, I had to fake the download URL, like http://
www.site.com/downloads/example.pdf. In the folder downloads I put
a .htaccess file with the line ErrorDocument 404 /link/to/my/php/
script.php.

I use something like this...
$file_len = filesize($file_name);
$file_ts = filemtime($file_name);
header('Content-Type: application/x-octet-stream'); // none known
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-
check=0');
header('Last-Modified: '. gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', $file_ts) .'
GMT');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.
basename($file_name) .'');
header(Content-Length: $file_len);
readfile($file_name);

Best group member,
This is how I try to push files to download using headers:
header(Content-type: $file_type);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename);
print $file;
It works fine in FireFox, but not that good in IE. I have been
googled to
find the fix for IE, but I can not find it. Anyone with experience of
this?
Best regards,
Peter Lauri

Re: [PHP] HTML (php page) - PDF recommendation
Depending on what you need (CSS support, good table support and so on) and which plattform you are working with it might be a good idea to have a look at: http://www.digitaljunkies.ca/dompdf/ There are also several on-line services available like: http:// www.pdfonline.com/ If you are on Mac OS X, I would definitely recommend looking at the Core Image functions within the Quartz 2D layer in Mac OS X. Core Image has also subroutines for PDF output (this is why you can save any document from any program in Mac OS X as a PDF file). You can access those APIs for example via Python. http://developer.apple.com/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/ drawingwithquartz2d/dq_python/chapter_17_section_1.html This might give you some ideas where to start. /frank 10 jun 2006 kl. 16.57 skrev Ryan A: Hi, can anybody give me a recommendation on a good html-pdf converter. Checked google and there are loads of classes, this one looks like one of the best though (even in price): http://www.rustyparts.com/pdf.php Anybody else using this? if yes, would appreciate any cons of using this class. Or, if you are using another class to do the above and think its the next best thing to sliced bread, I would appreciate you sending me the link so that I may try it out. All I need is a pdf generator that will generate an exact (or as close to exact) copy of the html page (that was generated by php, not a static html page), nothing fancy, no permissions etc Thanks!
