Solved.

Apparently the apachectl start/stop/restart script didn't work correctly,
or wasn't able to do its work. I _thought_ I had restart apache after
each modification, but it just continued running.

[PHP] Time zones and $_ENV vs getenv

2008-11-03 Thread John Coppens
Hello people.

Argentina changed timezones (Oct 19th), just two weeks ago, and, as PHP
has a separate table, I forgot to change the zones both in my machine and
on the server. I did so yesterday, and have some problems. Here's what I
did:

1) Downloaded the latest timezonedb (2008.9), compiled and installed it
locally and on the server. Apparently no problem there.

2) I have a calendar on my pages
(http://www.jcoppens.com/kayak/peperina/agenda.phpuniz=1) which shows
the unix time stamp if the cursor is above a date (just to help
debugging). The stamps coincide till Oct 19th, then differ by one hour
(as compared to my PC).

At the remote server, the time seems correct (-0200), on my machine it
isn't (-0300). I _did_ restart my apache, and yes, the php.ini is correct.

One strange thing I noticed (on both my machine and the server) is that
$_ENV['TZ'] was empty, while getenv('TZ') was correctly set
(America/Argentina/Cordoba).

I'm confused... Can someone point me to some more tests I could do?

Thanks,
John

 Can you please suggest some tools... I haven't used any yet...

Did you check GIMP? It has an option to make HTML image maps. 
Check Filters|Web|ImageMap

 Thanks

 Hi!
 I need to create an image map on a country map, where people 
 can click on any state and get some info related to it.. In 
 such case the regular polygon/circle/rectengle image map wont 
 do bcoz of shapes of state..
 
 I guess this must be possible someway in PHP.. please tell me 
 if you have any idea how to go abt this..
 
  
  Is the problem you're experiencing that the image map isn't being
  built properly or are you passing information to it that does not
  appear to be consistant.
  
  If it's the former, then PHP has nothing to do with that. I'm sure
  you can find some tools to generate image maps for you. There have
  always been free ones with a minimum of effort. 
  
  If you're having problem with PHP in the mix, can you describe the PHP
  problem, provide some code, some sample output, etc.? 
  
  I've used image maps in the past (though I try to stay away from
  them) and you can create a link with virtually any polygon if you
  have the patience to may out the plot points. You could easily create
  a star with many, many points and have it be clickable - which would
  indicate that most states would be a piece of cake.

 Is the character set indicated on the page?

Thanks for the reply, Marek.

The page is started with html lang=es, according to rfc3066.

 One think I can tell you for sure because I just checked is that

Ok. MS ignores many standards and norms. I took the information from:

http://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/

 I think that what you are looking for is to define the character set,
 as I mentioned in a previous reply.

Apparently this is a specific problem with Mozilla. I tried with Firefox,
Opera and Dillo, and didn't have any problem. I've traced the HTTP
exchange over the 'net, and the HTML code is served correctly. It's the
browser that gets confused.

I've filed a bug report on bugzilla...

Thanks for the replies, and sorry for blaming PHP (not really ;-).

[PHP] Ming - php sync problem?

2005-01-27 Thread John Coppens
Hi all.

I have simple page that generates a simple flash with some random images,
then publishes it - on the same page. If I do this, i regularly have
several kinds of problems, one of them, an error message like:

getimagesize(img/topmovie/toplogo.swf): failed to open stream: No such
file or directory

or the size getimagesize reports isn't the correct one.

If I only _call_ the swf (no generation), the message isn't there and
things look more normal.

Is the swf generation an asynchronous process and do I have to wait until
the  movie-save(xxx) finishes?

Thanks for suggestions
John

 Hi there!
 
 Is there any way reading a file from a specific line? (textfile)

Not directly - there's no way to know where the line starts, except
if they are all of the same length. Read the file, split it on \n's,
and then use it as an array.

Thanks for the hint

 It has NOTHING to do with your current problem of having error output
 mixed in with the Flash content though, so for your current purposes,

No - I didn't worry about the fact the messages were there - just the
flash problem

 $movie-save(xxx);
 header(Content-type: application/swf);
 readfile(xxx);
 ?

You are right, of course. I made a mistake in my script. Your error hint
was welcome though.

Thanks.
