Re: [PHP] Image copying
Richard, thanks. This made it much clearer. I read this, then stepped away and thought about it later and it makes so much more sense. Basically, I guess I ended up with the result IMG SRC = Resource id #x in my HTML. Man, I thought I was telling it to print the results of the resource ID, but it was printing it on its own. Now the problem is solved! Thanks so much. And Jason's little bit helped as well. That was my jumping off point. Thanks so much, guys!

[PHP] Weird search and replace
I'm trying to do a search-and-replace for a certain string (#1) from a bigger string (#2), take that string (#1), do an SQL search, then do a little fiddling to make another string (#3), and put that string (#3) back into the big string (#2) to replace the certain string (#1). Here's what I need. I have a string such as this: Yadda yadda yadda yadda '32'(l) yadda yadda yadda '2'(l) yadda '419'(l). (#2) I need to find the strings like '32'(l), '2'(l), and '419'(l), including the single quotes. Basically a '[0-9]*'(l). This is #1. Take that string, look up a record in an SQL table based on the number in the single quotes. Take a field in the record (#3) and replace #1 with it. So basically, we have: Yadda yadda yadda yadda supplanted-string yadda yadda yadda supplanted-string yadda supplanted-string. (#2) I really hope I'm explaining this properly, and after a few attempts, I have no clue where to restart. Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?
[PHP] Image copying
Hello,
I'm having a real frustrating time with my problem here, which is to copy one
JPEG to another resource. I'm not even sure where I'm going wrong, or how to
find it out, because it seems that I'm getting all my resource IDs fine (when I
echo them, I get 'resource ID #x'), and no error message pops up. Just a broken
image is produced. I've been racking myself for so long now that my problem may
be right under my nose, but my brain is so baked it's just not working. And
I've tried to leave and come back to it, but... you know how it is. Here's what
I'm doing.
What I'm trying to do is copy one JPEG to another JPEG (as mentioned) on the
fly. I don't want to have a new file produced, just a modified JPEG (a few
circles here and there) held in a resource. Here's how I call my function and
how I display the image via HTML:
print(IMG ALT... HEIGHT... WIDTH... SRC = \ . copy_pic($sourcepic) . \);
So I'm calling the function straight from the SRC attribute of the IMG tag.
Here's what's in my function:
function copy_pic($sourcepic) {
if(file_exists($sourcepic)) {
$destinationpic = imagecreatetruecolor(imagesx($sourcepic),
imagesy($sourcepic));
imagecopy($destinationpic, $sourcepic, 0, 0, 0, 0, imagesx($sourcepic),
imagesy($sourcepic));
}
return $destinationpic;
}
After this, I'm going to be tampering with the pic, but I just wanted to make
sure I'm getting something, which I'm not. All I get is a broken image. No
error message, no nothing. Please tell me I'm not overlooking some really
idiotic thing, but I'm just having one heckuva time with this.
Thanks, everyone.
Re: [PHP] Simple cookie question
This may be a stupid question, but I'm trying to set up a system where I can take a poll from visitors to my website and then set a cookie so that they can't vote more than once (until they clear their cookies at least). Problem is, I don't want to put it at the top of my page, because what if somebody opens up a poll but decides not to vote, then later changes his mind. The cookie will prevent him from voting. I want the cookie to be set right after the user clicks the vote button, but every time I do that, I get an error about headers already being sent. Is there any way around this?

Do a query, sorting by the field you need alphabetized. Then do this (and
tidy it up as you need):
echo table;
while($result = mysql_fetch_row$(query)) {
if(substr($result, 0, 1) != $previousfirstletter) {
$previousfirstletter = substr($result, 0, 1);
echo trth$previousfirstletter/th/tr;

Re: [PHP] ^M
It looks like you are viewing a dos/windows file on unix. The ^M is carriage return, which is needed as part of a dos/window end of line sequence (carriage return, line feed) whereas unix uses just line feed. Nope. They're UNIX-created and UNIX-modified. Does it matter if I downloaded them onto my PC and then back onto the server? I don't think it should, since I did a global search-and-replace of all those suckers. On unix (well, a full install of linux) there are the conversion programs dos2unix and unix2dos. If transferring by ftp, use ASCII not BINARY transfer. Yeah, I had this problem a little while ago, and it's back, but doesn't seem to be solvable this time for some reason.

Re: [PHP] Date Problem - Last Day Of Month
Hi there, can anyone tell me how to fix my code so that on the last day of
the month, my code doesn't repeat the months...
I'm not sure what you mean by this, but I can be a moron on this list
sometimes and the clear answer usually comes to me about 2 seconds after I
hit the send button. Do you mean that you don't want any months in the
SELECT control when it's the last of the month? Or you don't want the
SELECTED attribute in the OPTION tags? As far as I can tell, you're not
repeating any months, but you're only listing them once.
Try this (and IMHO a *slight* *slight* improvement in clarity, but again,
that's my HO):
select name=month
?
for ($counter=1; $counter=12; $counter++) {
print option value=\. $counter . \;
if (($counter == date(m)) || (date(d) date(t))) {
print selected;
}
print . date(F,mktime(0,0,0,$counter,date(d),date(Y))) .
/option;
}
}
/select
I adjusted it so that you only print out the SELECTED attribute if it's the
current month, and I called $i as $counter, because, to me anyway, it makes
it clearer what is the $counter. If $i works for you, though, there's
nothing wrong with that, and it's not that it's unclear anyway, what with it
in the FOR loop only a few lines earlier. (I'll shut up now about $counter.)
Anyway, I added a comparison above that said if the current date is less
than the last day of the month, then print SELECTED. That's assuming I have
your question right in that you don't want to select the current month if
it's the last day of that month. Otherwise, if I'm wrong, you can take that
comparison and put it just about anywhere.
Help? Doesn't? Am I a complete goof?

it really all that noticeable?

[PHP] Min and max of array
Is there a way to find the minimum and maximum values of an array? min() and max() don't take arrays.

[PHP] $PHPSESSID
First of all, thanks all who helped with the min and max functions (that works) and the dollar sign bit (which also works). Kudos. Couldn't have done it without y'all! Here's the newest brain teaser: I have cookies disabled (well, I have IE set to the highest security mode, where it disables cookies). I understand that with cookies enabled, $PHPSESSID will return nothing when it works. However, it will return a value when cookies are disabled and the page is refreshed after a cookie is attempted. I'm still getting nothing either way. Anybody know why?

[PHP] Dollar signs in values
How is it I can properly get PHP to represent dollar signs when putting it into HTML? I know that dollar signs denote the beginning of a variable, like $reference or $ftpstream or whatever. However, I have a text file that contains (or can contain) values with $ in them. When I open the file and grab those values, then stick them onto my HTML page, they get unpredictable results. Is there a way I can escape them or such?
Re: [PHP] Dollar signs in values
Escape them with a backslash: $text = The amount is \$400.-; All that does is print \$ in my HTML. What's going on is that it will put, say, RR$T into a file when that's typed into a textbox or any typable form control. That's properly saved in the file. So the file will contain RR$T. When it's output, it could be RR, or RR$T, depending on some unpredictable factors (haven't figured it out). By adding a slash, what gets saved in the file is RR\$T, but what gets output could be RR\ or RR\$T, depending on those same factors. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] updating pages with php
The problem I ran into is that mySQL will not allow certain punctuation inside of a record (no comma's). So now I am left trying to figure out how I can have the user update the paragraph without having it in a db. Can someone shoot me in the proper direction? Thanks in advance, your help is greatly appreciated. Don't forget to escape apostrophes and double quotation marks where needed. Also, check the actual MySQL. If it contains things like double quotation marks or greater- or less-than tags, it may be misinterpreted by your browser when output. A line like: INPUT TYPE = TEXT VALUE = $result[0] could come out like: INPUT TYPE = TEXT VALUE = Example text that screws up $%#$ there it is or even in non-form tags.

Re: [PHP] updating pages with php
You are correct and it is apostophe's and not comma's that cause the error. What do I do to get around that? Escape them by putting a slash in front of them.

Re: [PHP] crontab
Can I run a php script in crontab? Do I echo or print? Anyone doing it? This is a serious security hazard. However, what you could do is have a PHP page set cron settings (such as name of file, location, frequency, and importance), then have another cron job (running at a decent frequency) do the organization. However, this is still a security flaw, as hackers can just take a look at your cron jobs and get in and run their own in place of yours. Probably no more a flaw than normal, though, as if a hacker can get in to replace your cron job, they can get in and run any number of things anyway. Make sure to hard code your cron jobs, as having a downloadable page is a bigger security hazard. You don't want the PHP page to do this itself, because it will have to run as root. I did this one time, and if I'm allowed some time to get my page up, I can e-mail you some instructions. What you'll need is a PHP page, a txt file (for the settings) and a cron job that will read the file and do the necessary steps to arrange the cron jobs itself. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Detecting posts from outside site
Also, speaking of detection, I made a small script that can protect against
people downloading your site's forms, modifying their new local copy (and
putting an absolute URL in the form's ACTION attribute), and then posting
data using the botched form. If it's bulletproof, then I figured this could
help some of you out. If not, I welcome comments (I'm a little bit hesitant
of calling things 'bulletproof'). $http_referer (lowercase) is the
parse_url() of $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]. Some local mucking up can give you
the format you want for it.
if((count($_POST) 0) (!stristr($_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER],
$http_referer))) {
unset($_POST);
$evil = postedfromoutsidepage;
}
Then, you can test for $evil when you need to print an error message or
decide whether or not the data is proper.

RE: [PHP] Date to find next Friday
Responding to my own message. This is making me a little ticked. I can't think it through. Here's exactly what I need: There are a bunch of series of files (A series, B series, and so on) that are to be released on the first, second, third, fourth, or (if it exists for that month) fifth Friday of a given month. The A series does not necessarily get released on the same Friday of each month as the B series, so the A series could come out on the fourth Friday, while the B series comes out on the third and the C on the fifth, etc. or whatever. I need to know the Next_Release_Friday of a specified series. If there are only four Fridays that month, all those fifth-Friday releases happen on the fourth Friday. Obviously, if a file is released on the first Friday and it so happens that the first Friday for this month has passed, the Next_Release_Friday will be next month, and if it's December, the Next_Release_Friday will be next year's January.
