The browser is caching the image. There's no real way to fix that. There are some headers that may encourage the browser to not cache, but there is no sure way to control whether the users will have this setting overridden. imagedestroy($pic); is only freeing the memory used on the server while the script is executing. It's nice if you're doing a whole bunch of processing after generating the image but otherwise the memory is automatically freed when the script exits. It will do nothing to affect the copy that now sits in the browser's cache. In other words, you'll just have to hit reload.

Hi, as a beginner I find the way you declare variables through HTML-forms
quite straightforward. But the reverse, to put the same variables back into
a form field is not so obvious for selection lists and checkboxes.

[PHP] .htaccess and mod rewrite.
I was looking over a tutorial on Php builder on making search engine friendly sites. While i got the concept of the tutorial and have it working here. I was wondering is it possible to get a php script to run out of the home directory of apache. tutorial: http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim19990117.php3?page=1 in the tut they redirect any calls to files in /local/ to a php file in the root of the site. I'd like to if possible redirect it to script that's stored outside of the home folder for apache. Why you ask? 1. One file to update for any number of websites. 2. So clients don't go touching it. (i know permissions could solve this. but the reason one is more important.) In my .htaccess in the root of the site i have Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteRule local.*$ local.php Works fine.. but when i change it to a directory outside of the root it never gets to process or give an error. Any ideas? is it possible? Cheers Brendon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Re: PHP XML
I am all for the power of XML, another benefit is the ability to have many themes for your viewer. Plus, if you are writing a CMS or portal of some sort you can have your users create their own themes without ever touching the data layers. They just need to create some XSLT pages and that is it. Another benefit is RSS and allowing users to pull information from your website. Heaven knows that u want your users to frequent ur website. So you can allow them to pull info directly. Also a great way to incorporate a cacheing system as well.

Re: [PHP] PHP XML
Chris, Here are some ideas you might want to review these options: 1. Try storing the data in the database as xml files them selves. You then do not have to create the xml file. This will no doubt increase your database size. 2. Store your xml templates in the database for faster retrieval. 3. Have the xml file reference the xslt file for the translation to occur on the client end...they get the HTML and all u really worry about is creating the xml file and having the xslt file. 4. Do the translation of Database - XML - XSLT - HTML all in PHP and save the HTML output for caching. Then u can save a link to that file in your database. This will allow you to have a very good caching system. When a request for a page comes in u can verify if the cached link in the database is too old or not. Then you can either get the link to the cached file or get the data to create the XML file. But, I have a feeling that this will still be extremely sufficient for your speed requirements...

Try storing the data in the database as xml files them selves. You then do not have to create the xml file. This will no doubt increase your database size. This, unfortunately, is not a possiblity because the databases get updated too frequently. Plus, I have 2 tables that have in excess of 80k records which also gets updated frequently. File I/O for updating a flat file DB would be atrocious. 2. Store your xml templates in the database for faster retrieval. Please elaborate on this suggestion? sample xml page: ?xml version=1.0? page title/title /page So, then in theory, this is a xml template (contains no data) that can be stored in the database. 3. Have the xml file reference the xslt file for the translation to occur on the client end...they get the HTML and all u really worry about is creating the xml file and having the xslt file. As far as I know, there are several issues with the various browsers processing and executing the XSL. There isn't full compliance, particularly with the actual commands (ie, xsl:copy, xsl:copy-of, etc) and/or if you want to manipulate the tree/DOM. Is this untrue? 4. Do the translation of Database - XML - XSLT - HTML all in PHP and save the HTML output for caching. For the most part, this isn't feasible due to number 1 above. And for those files that I can cache, the data set being retrieved is so small that any performance hit (if any) would certainly be insignificant. So there wouldn't be much point in caching those. Even so, this does give me a few ideas and could possibly be the solution to a very different problem I need to address. Actually you do not have to store the data and xml (together) in the database. Here are the steps to perform: 1. Query database getting desired data. 2. get the xml file into PHP XML parser (either from a database or file.) 3. Parse xml file adding data to the file. Result is a new xml file. (XML template + data) 4. Optional (if xslt is compiled into PHP). You can do the translation of your XML file and XSLT file in PHP which could result in a html file or direct output to the browser. 5. Send the XML file to the browser with the XSLT information information in the XML file (not so much XSL). And let the browser handle the transformation to HTML for ya. Also note that the XSLT file is a great place to put all your themes. U can have one XSLT file for each theme that handles your site. The options are endless... That is relatively all that needs to be done. Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions thus far. Please keep them coming if you haven't chimed in or if you think of anything else.

[PHP] sessions without cookies *or* URLs
Hi, all -- I've seen a recent flurry of discussion on sessions, and that's good; lovely how that has shown up just as I need to dig into sessions. I think I've come to understand, though, that you can't manage sessions without either URL extensions or cookies, and that's bad (for me, at least). Is that a correct understanding? It seems that using forms to pass the session token would work, but that means having all buttons instead of links, which has its own disadvantages. Is there any other way to get data to the server? We currently use the URL to pass variables but we don't want to hang the page password out there :-) and so we have to maove away from that somehow, and it would be nice if we could get away from URL mangling entirely. Cookies aren't an option, though.

Re: [PHP] mobile number
Ryan, et al -- ...and then Ryan A said... % % Hi guys, Hi! Your project sounds interesting, but it pretty much won't work for the US -- or at best it would be unworkable. In the US, the area code is three digits, the exchange is three digits, and the number itself is four digits. For years people only needed the exchange and the number (and, in fact, the exchange was based on the city name, so you'd ring the operator and ask for KLondike 5 or PEnnsylvania 6 5000) unless you were calling outside your area code, which was pretty much guaranteed to be a toll call (and some local calls were toll as well). More and more now, though, you have to dial the full ten digits because local calling areas are bigger than a million numbers. And all of that goes for cell phones, pagers, and the like as well. While an entire exchange is usually given to a cell provider, it could be one off from a land line provider's exchange or even a different cell provider's exchange. The only shot I'd think could work would be to integrate a caller ID service to just give you the whole number...

Yeah. It would be even cooler if that's what it did, eh? Maybe someone should rename that nl2nl+br and write a *real* nl2br for those of us that want to GET RID OF the newlines. I think that part of the reason this question comes up often is because nl2br doesn't really do what its name would lead us, or at least me, to think that it does. Patrick, I just went through this a few weeks ago (Sep 06). I don't know that the list has archives, or I'd send you there first (anyone with a URL?), so all I can do is give you my result: $fout = ereg_replace((\n|\r)+,br,$fin) ; This translates any newline and/or carriage return in your $fin string to a br and puts the results in $fout. It will convert input like this is some input to this isbrsome input and you no longer have a newline in the way. The only downside is that this is some input ends up the same way because the regexp is greedy, but the upside is that it will work for UNIX (\n), Mac (\r), and DOS/Win (\r\n) input.

[PHP] replacing \n with br
Hi, all -- I have a php script which writes comments out to a file in the format field@@comment field@@comment ... and everything has worked delightfully -- until someone put in a newline in one of the items and now we have field@@com ment field@@comment ... and things break. I read the file, line by line, and parse on @@ as my separator, so anything after a newline is lost. I thought I'd just replace that newline with a br since that's what the user really wants, but I can't get rid of the \n while I'm at it; through various attempts at directly replacing or using variables or such like preg_replace(/\n/,br,$mydatastring) ; preg_replace(/$newline/,$linebreak,$mydatastring) ; I get mixed results of field@@combr ment or field@@com brment but in no case have I managed to get field@@combrment which is what I want.

% wouldn't have a problem with them. I should have thought of that.
Well, yes and no :-) It's my app, and it's understandable that you don't
already know everything about it from having not seen it yet!
%
% How are you reading the file? The key being that you said you read it
% line by line. Once you read a line, could you just grab the first
% length-1 characters and then do your parsing on that?
The data file format is
field@@data
field@@data
...
and a real example is
comment@@this is a comment
latdir@@N
londir@@W
latdec@@36
londec@@89
...
and my code [now, after mods,] looks like
...
if ( file_exists($filelocation) ) # do we have an info file?
{
$newfile = fopen($filelocation,r);# grab it and start reading!
while ( !feof ($newfile) ) # (go only until the end, of
course)
{
$commentline = trim(fgets($newfile)); # get one line with whitespace
trimmed
if ( $commentline ) # a line with data?
{
list ($field,$data) = preg_split(/@@/,$commentline); # split it
$content[$field] = preg_replace(/br/,\n,$data) ; # replace our swapped
'br's with original '\n's and store it in the hash
}
}
fclose($newfile); # always lock up
}
...
so I'm just using fgets to read it. The reason it looks that way is
because, after the user has had the opportunity to edit the fields and
hits the button, I process the data as
...
$newfile = fopen($filelocation,w);
foreach ($keylist as $k)# loop thru keys
{
fwrite($newfile,$k@@.ereg_replace((\n|\r)+,br,stripslashes(${base64_encode($k)})).\n)
; } # write the clear text out
fclose($newfile);
...
Although I've solved the problem for now, the next version will probably
end the data with a @@ and so I can just read another line if I don't
have a closer.
Thanks again HAND

[PHP] that UNIX permissions thing again -- sort of
Hi, all -- I promise I'm not asking the same old question :-) Our image gallery application takes a directory tree of images uploaded by the user and then does all sorts of magic to make thumbnails, track comments, and so on. The only thing owned by the user is the directory tree and its contents; everything else is owned by the web server ID. All of this works well until a user wants to change the name of a subtree in the source directory; all of the 'nails are lost (since they're now unrelated to the source tree, and they just hang around taking up space), and even worse all of the comments are lost. The problem, of course, is that the user can't rename the cache directory and the web server can't rename the source directory. Has anyone already solved this problem -- preferably without reeking too terribly of a kludge? We've already thought of a script that the user calls which renames the cache side and then says OK, so *now* go and rename the source side with ftp like you would anyway but that's not pretty by any stretch. I just can't get past the concept that we're mixing user ID and web server ID and that you just can't. Of course, if the same old question (How do I have the web server do things in a user way?) has finally been answered, please let me know ;-) TIA HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg! msg76903/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

[PHP] passing an array in a link
Hi, all --
I collect field keys in an array that looks like
$keylist = array('comment','job','spaced out key name','foo',...) ;
and would like to pass the array to myself in a call like
print a href=\/myscript.php?keylist=$keylist\link/a ;
but when it's actually run it of course says
...keylist=Array...
which is quite bad. I'd use a simple scalar
$keylist = comment job spaced out key name foo ... ;
but, of course, those darned fields which have spaces embedded in the
names will really mess that up.
How can I pass myself an array -- and recognize it on the receiving end?
TIA HAND

Curly braces {} are sometimes required for PHP to properly parse variables
within quoted strings. Good example might be defining variable-variables
within a quoted string ${$myvarvar}. However I do not believe that
curly
braces are required in this particular string.
As for the comma I believe it does the same thing as the period. It will
concatonate the quoted string with the output of the htmlspecialchars()

Re: [PHP] Stored Procedures + Answer
also not the use of the procedural language plpgsql. This needs to be installed in the database that you are using. If you want it for all databases that you create you can do this... template1 = createlang plpgsql template1; This then allow all subsequently created databases to have plpgsql...

So to write them use a function but just call it stored procedure fancy... Heres some code that I've never tested or run before: CREATE FUNCTION putData (char, varchar, varchar) RETURNS int AS ' DECLARE x ALIAS FOR $1; y ALIAS FOR $2; z ALIAS FOR $3; BEGIN INSERT INTO tableA (colX, colY, colZ) VALUES (x, y, z); RETURN 1; END ' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'; Good Luck David Busby wrote: List, I'm using a postgres datbase for my PHP project, how do I make stored procedures?

Re: [PHP] Dealing with XML charsets
Peter, What OS are you running this on...if you are on windows then uncomment the php_iconv.dll in your php.ini file and then you can see if you can run the iconv functions. If you are running under unix/linux then you need to compile php with the iconv functions. Example ./configure --with-iconv=/location/of/iconv Iconv is a gnu app that you use for the conversions. You can get more info GNU's website about iconv...

Re: [PHP] cURL in an exec() . more
Check out setuid and sticky bits for the file permissions. Remember that if you are running php under apache and you try the exec with a command php is running with apaches permissions. So apache needs to be able to run what ever you are trying to run with the exec command. B i g D o g - Original Message - From: Jay Blanchard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 8:49 AM Subject: RE: [PHP] cURL in an exec() . more OK, here is where I am (between handling other pre-holiday/long weekend processese here); I have the PHP script create a shell script containing the needed code for the cURL process. Of course the shell script will execute from the command line with me as 'root'. But the exec() that calls the shell script will not execute the script because of improper permissions. (Has to do with the permissions on the topmost directory for where the file lives, changing that could be dangerous from a security standpoint). So I have tried to change those (I am on a Linux box) via the PHP, no luck. It will let me chmod the shell script via the PHP script. So I tried to move the script to /usr/local/bin; rename(getlist.sh, /usr/local/bin/getlist.sh); Permission denied exec(mv getlist.sh /usr/local/bin/getlist.sh); Permissiion denied exec(cp getlist.sh /usr/local/bin/getlist.sh); Permissiion denied I am looking into posix_setuid() to change the permissions for the time needed, but I've a feeling, after a couple of tests, that this is not going to be the way to do this either. I wish permissions in Linux were more straigtforward. Anyone have an idea how to do this with opening the server wide? Thanks for all your help.

I hate to sound like an ass, but the best thing would to really read the php manual @ php.net or buy a PHP programming book... There are many great books out there on PHP that you can get. 1.
