Here is something weird going on.  Why is it that imagecolorallocate dies
after 256 colors have been allocated?  Note, this doesn't matter if
you write a jpg or png, it all produces the same result (see attached
graphic).

Yes, the colors are randomly made, and they all go in a straight, diagonal
line (315 degrees to be precise), and on the 256'th pixel
(I HAVE COUNTED EVERY PIXEL TO MAKE SURE)
it gets stuck on the last color and then continues painting pixels at that
last color until the end of the line.

I've tried to use imagecolordeallocate right after the pixel is drawn,
but that only makes all the pixels come out in one color (white).

Its like the "palette" only holds 256 pixels or something, what's
the deal with that?

Anyone experienced this before?  I've looked through the GD library
documentation
at boutell.com, i've looked through php.net, and every search engine on the
internet, and I can't seem to find out what is going on.

Thanks
Dan

======================================================================
<?
$im = imagecreate(400,400);

//sets background to black
imagecolorallocate($im,0,0,0);

$x=0;
$y=0;

while ($x <=400 ){
$color=imagecolorallocate($im,rand(0,255),rand(0,255),rand(0,255));
imagesetpixel($im,$x,$y,$color);

Having just spent about 16 hours fighting with mod_rewrite to try and
replace broken DefaultType on FreeBSD, I feel your pain :-)

My thinking in this case is:  It really doesn't make sense to have either ^
or $ here, since you really don't care what you start or end with.  So, you
probably just want:

RewriteRule (.*) /start.php?go=$1

Except, of course, that will be an infinite loop, since that matches
start.php?go=index.html as well.

So, what I think you *really* want is:

RewriteRule ^/start\.php.* - [L]
RewriteRule (.*) /start.php?go=$1

Translation:
#1  If we are surfing to "/start.php?blahblahblah", then use the URL as-is
"-" and stop playing these silly rewrite games "[L]"
#2 Any URL that reaches this rule, wasn't one of our start.php hacks, so
redirect to start.php

You may need or want a [R] on the end of that second rule...

If error_reporting is set to include E_NOTICE, and if you attempt to access
an array element that has never been set (or has been unset) you will get
this message.

To really be RFC-compliant, you should use "\r\n" instead of just "\n" --
Un*x mail-handling mostly fixes it for you, but...

My guess would be that you lost a \n somewhere or that you have \\n
somewhere...

<?php
    SetEnv("last_name='$last_name'");
?>

Since you probably want to do this for all your POST vars, check out
http://php.net/FAQ.php#7.1
<?php
    reset($HTTP_POST_VARS);
    while (list($var, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)){
        SetEnv("$var='$val'");

Thanks!  But when I try this link, or the "Quick Ref" button on the PHP home
page, I can't find anything about setenv.  And the manual doesn't have
anything about it under Program Execution Functions.  Is it undocumented?

And once I actaully tried it, I got an undefined function message.







Ok, yesterday I had problems parsing an XML from Nasdaq.
Thx to Matt these problems have been solved and I am know able to parse any
XML without problems (I hope).

But I have one question:
In order to parse an XML you have to tell your parser where to find the
document:

$xml_file = ''test.xml';

This works perfectly, but If you want to get the XML files from Nasdaq you
have to say

$xml_file =
http://quotes.nasdaq.com/quote.dll?page=xml&mode=stock&symbol=NETA;

This however doe not work !!!

Why?  How can I overcome this problem?





here is some logic, I'm sure you can flesh out the code.

fopen -r the URL
read the results into a variable, fopen -w to write a local temp file
(if the parser you build actially requires a "file")
save it locally and pass the filename variable to your XML parser
function

if your parser can work from a variable, then just pass the read
variable to your parser.

Hi there!

I want to check if given username consists only of letters of English
alphabet, numbers, or "_".
I can go through the string and check every character.
Wouldn't it be simpler to use regular expressions? How would I do it?

These usernames are OK: _john_, 0123bla, foo
These are wrong: x#y, t&boo, 100%

Thanks for your advice.

if (preg_match ('/^\w+$/', $Username))
        echo "'$Username' is ok<br>";
else
        echo "'$Username' contains invalid chars"

What  I think you should do is to use php's build-in function addslashes()

That's  a problem with HTML.
example:
<input type='text' name='textName' value='Don't do this'>
Sees the ' in Don't as the signal for the end of the value string.
I haven't come up with an automatic way to deal with this,
but what I have done is in these lines (where there might be an apostrophe)
make sure I use double quotes:
<input type="text" name="textName" value="Don't do this">
or
print "<input type=\"text\" name=\"textName\" value=\"Don't do this\">";

Of course, then you may have the same trouble with double quotes. To avoid
that you can do ereg_replace("\"", "''", $text) -- that is, replace a double
quote with two single quotes? I think, I've never bothered.

Hope this helps somehow.

Anna

The problem seems to be solved.

Some suggestions didn't work, in my application at least, but what I found from
a combination of them was that I can eliminate the problem using a character
entity for the apostrophe.  It prints a single quote but does not parse as a
single quote.

     $text = (stripslashes($text));
     $text = ereg_replace("'","&#39;",$text);

     It doesn't work in one shot (ie \' to `).

Further; I originally placed the apostrophes into the database field as they
were, without escaping them with slashes.  I have since added slashes.  However
converting ' to &#39 may eliminate the need for add/strip slashes?  I have to
try that.  

Many tnx to Anne and all.  

Floyd

Hi,

I've read through the archives and still must be missing something. I
need to execute a cgi script from php. This seems fairly trivial, but I
can't get it to work.

the cgi script is clean -- executes from the command line without issue
and is 755
from php the follwing is used:


chdir("../../cgibin");
if(is_executable("some.cgi"))
    virtual("some.cgi");
else
    echo "Not executable";



some.cgi is found and is executable but the following occurs when
attemping to execute via virtual():

Warning: Unable to include 'some.cgi' - request execution failed in
[path to php page]

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
clif






Hello everyone,

 I have a string like

$thestring = "\"Hello everyone\" bye";

What I want to extract is: Hello everyone. Instead  I get: bye.
I use this command

ereg("([^\"\"]*)$",$thestring,$regs)

and echo $regs[1].

How can I extract what's within double quotes?


TIA

Regards

Hmm, I only know the preg syntax. With that it's

preg_match ('/"([^"]*?)"/', $thestring, $matches);

$InQuotes = $matches [1];

Having written loads of stuff in PHP, I find myself having for the first
time to generate binary data in memory - I actually need to build a native
file for a drawing program in memory. The data consists mainly of lists of
32bit little endian integers - some signed and some unsigned. I've started
the work, and am building the data up in a string variable. I know however
that I am about to get bitten by numeric overflows.

For example if I have a function create_thingy($param1,$param2) where param1
is an unsigned 32 bit int, and the top bit is set, then I suspect that php
will probably represent the number as floating point, and I'll probably lose
some precision.

Has anybody been here before and found a good mode of working in the
unsigned 32bit arena?

Cheers

Hello,
  I'm having a rather strange problem.  I'm trying to compare two values.  "01" and 
"1".  The variables names that they are submitted under are pick1 and pick2.   i use 
the following code

$mypick1 = strval($pick1);
$mypick2 = strval($pick2);

I then perform the following comparison:

if ($mypick1 == $mypick2)
 {
   $error = 1;
   $errorstring[1] = "Your first pick and second pick are the same.";
 }

However, I get the error that they are equal.

If I call the comparison as foloows:

if(strval($mypick1) == strval($mypick2)
 {
   $error = 1;
   $errorstring[1] = "Your first pick and second pick are the same.";
 }

I still get the error.  Anyone have any ideas?  These two valuse mustbe evaluated as 
different.

Thanks in advance
Curtis




In spite of yor best efforts here, PHP converts the string values to numbers (because 
the strings look like numbers) before doing the comparison.

Force a string comparison by using strcmp and everything will work fine - remember 
that strcmp returns true if the strings are not equal and false if equal.

Cheers

different.

Thanks in advance

PLease... I need some help from u gurus on this.

I have a table of gas stations (and a whole lot other tables, for stuff 
connected to them), and I have a table with 'assets' of each of these gas 
stations (or other stuff)... so I have to make a form so when inserting the 
user can select with of these assets it has, but also, he may add a comment 
to each of the assets, example:

my table of assets contains:

coke machine
vending machine
atm
dinner
public phone

and someone is inserting a gas station there... and it has two dinners and 
3 public phones, so he would check the checkboxes referring to these and 
add a little comment to show the number... right?

but how can I pass this to the next page so I can insert in the tables?
if I only had the checkboxes, it'd be easy like:

<input type=checkbox name="assets[]"> <== for each of them... but how can I 
add the input type text next to each of the checkboxes and make them 
referrable?

Try to use the PhpMyAdmin - download it from http://www.phpwizard.com/

It is a very good MySql web client toolkit, that is built with PHP.
