[PHP] svg 2 gif/png

2010-03-03 Thread Michael A. Peters

I'm moving all of my dynamic image generation to svg.
Not only does it look better, but it is less resource intensive on my 
server allowing me to generate the svg on demand instead of 
pre-generating (via cron) twice a month like I had to do with gd dynamic 
generation.


However, some browsers *cough*IE*cough* do not support SVG, so I still 
need png or gif fallback (I'll decide which after investigating size 
difference).


Example SVG to convert -

http://www.shastaherps.org/map/map22.svg

Using convert from ImageMagick in the CLI is fast enough that I may just 
use the ImageMagick php module and do the fallback dynamic for the IE 
users, but I've run into a bit of a snag - it seems that ImageMagick 
doesn't understand xlink.


IE running

convert --size=800x574 map22.svg map22.png

on above file results in a nice pretty map with the county and text, but 
the colored hexagons are not displayed.


Is there an easy way around this? IE a php class/function that 
understands SVG w/ xlink and can replace the use tags with the polygons 
they refer to? If not, I'll have to try to write one, but I'd rather not ...


Thanks for suggestions. It is too bad ImageMagick doesn't understand the 
use tag and xlink, that is one of the more useful features of SVG that I 
have personally found, makes dynamic generation so much easier.

I just did, haven't tested yet, but this may work -

function use2polygon($use,$polygon) {
   // get the xy coords
   $x = 0; $y = 0;
   if ($use->hasAttribute('x') {
  $x = 0 + $use->getAttribute('x');
  }
   if ($use->hasAttribute('y') {
  $y = 0 + $use->getAttribute('y');
  }
   // clone the polygon
   if ($polygon->hasAttribute('points') {
$points = preg_replace('/\s+/',' ',$polygon->getAttribute('points'));
  $pointArray = explode(' ',$points);
  $sizeof = sizeof($pointArray);
  for ($i=0;$i<$sizeof;$i++) {
 $foo = explode(',',$pointArray[$i]);
 $foo[0] = $x + $foo[0];
 $foo[1] = $y + $foo[1];
 $pointArray[$i] = $foo[0] . ',' . $foo[1];
 }
  $points = implode(' ',$points);
  $newPolygon = $polygon->cloneNode(true);
  $newPolygon->setAttribute('points',$points);
  $use->parentNode->replaceChild($newPolygon,$use);
  }
   }

of course that requires domdocument and probably requires looping 
through the dom node list backwards, but hopefully that will do it.

It should work fine. You must change the session name (either using
the session_name() function or by changing session.name in php.ini)
before you call session_start().

Note that the session name and the session ID are two different things.

doh - for xml sanity, add this before the replaceChild

if ($newPolygon->hasAttribute('id')) {

Now it works, and makes identical svg image that works with convert.

[PHP] Help with exec.

2010-03-03 Thread Paul Halliday
I need to pipe some data to an external application.

I have this:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($theData[0])) {
$src_ip[] = $row[0];
$dst_ip[] = $row[1];
$sig_desc[] = $row[2];

$rec ++;
if ( $rec == $recCount ) {
break;
}
}

for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($src_ip); $i++) {
$tmpResult[] = "$sig_desc[$i],$src_ip[$i],$dst_ip[$i]\n";
}


The external program is called like:

cat results.csv | theprogram outputfilename

Is there a way mimic this w/o outputting $tmpResult to a file first?

Thanks.

I believe you can use popen() to open "theprogram" and pipe to it the
content and read back the results. All without writing to any files.

popen() either reads from a pipe or writes to a pipe, if I remember
well, not both. Teus.

I work by example :)

I can't find enough of an example to get me going with this.

I have this:

$glow = popen('afterglow.pl -c color.properties -s -e 3 -p 1 -l 2000 |
neato -Tpng -o /usr/local/www/test.png','r');

how do I feed my array to that?

Hi,

I have used this code to feed data to gpg and read back the encrypted
result, Im sure you can adapt it to your needs.

function Encrypt($data){

# http://www.theoslogic.com/scripts/php-gpg/

$gpg_command="/usr/bin/gpg $parameters";

$errLog = "/tmp/errors.log";

$dspecs = array(
0=>array("pipe", "r"),
1=>array("pipe", "w"),
2=>array("file", $errLog, "a")
);

$encrypted="";
$procdata="";

$gpgproc = proc_open($gpg_command, $dspecs, $pipes);

if (is_resource($gpgproc)) {
fwrite($pipes[0], $data);
fclose($pipes[0]);

while($procdata = fgets($pipes[1], 1024)) {
$encrypted .= $procdata;
}
fclose($pipes[1]);
}

return $encrypted;
}

It works really well.

Regards

Ian

Wouldn't that be $b[0] = $a[0], with the value of $i being 1 *after* the
statement was finished executing? You used a post-decrement operator on $i
at the end of your statement, so I don't think that $i would be increased
before being used to index into the $a array.

You could try Memtrack (http://pecl.php.net/package/memtrack) but I
can't comment as to what state it's in.

you can put it wherever you like and returns an array for further

Re: [PHP] Re: Memory investigation

2010-03-03 Thread la...@garfieldtech.com

That's not really what I'm after.  Let me try an example:

function foo($id) {
  static $foos = array();

  if (empty($foos[$id]) {
$foos[$id] = load_foo($id);
  }
  return $foos[$id];
}

When load_foo() is slow (e.g., lots of DB traffic or remote-server calls 
or whatever), such caching can have a significant performance boost. 
Sometime after foo() has been called 15 times from 30 places in code, 
when I get to the end of the request (or just every time I call foo() 
would be fine) I want to be able to do something like:


$cost = get_memory_used_by($foos);

So that I can determine how much memory that caching is costing me over 
the lifetime of the page, and determine if it's a worthwhile trade-off.

[PHP] basic authentication and redirection

2010-03-03 Thread Bill Rausch



Hi there,

In certain circumstances controlled by my users, I'd like to redirect 
my users to another site, a third party whom we have contracted with. 
The second site uses basic authentication with a simple username and 
password. Can I write my PHP code so my users do not have to login 
(or even know the username/password) on the remote site?


This isn't intended to stop serious hackers, just enough security to 
stop casual passers-by.


Thanks,

Bill

[PHP] Best os shopping cart

2010-03-03 Thread Haig Davis
Hi,

I apologise if this is not strictly php related. What Open Source Shopping
cart system do you recommend between osCommerce and Zen-Cart for ease of use
and a php guy with dangerously little javascript knowledge?

This is not for a massive shopping site, simply a cart to power a
subscription sign-up page.

Thanks for the advice.

Haig

At this point in time I would choose ZenCart over osCommerce since 
development of osCommerce has languished for the past 3+ years at 
version 2.2 and version 3.0 has been in alpha for just as long.

depends on how that site does its authentication...

if it's a form, it may need an extra setting to allow you to go to a
specific page on that site after authentication.

Have a look at cURL (http://www.php.net/curl) as it will allow you to

Or you can use JavaScript on an intermediate page to post directly to 
the remote site's login form. If JavaScript is disabled, just have a 
button "Please continue to XXX" which then performs the post tot he 
remote site.

you can put it wherever you like and returns an array for further

index to a name and check if the name exists to add 1 to the end of

Currently it's mostly procedural with some components that are OO.  I 
suspect most of the memory sinks are large arrays (we have a lot of 
them), but I am not certain of that.  Hence my interest in more accurate 
investigation tools.

If it's an option, I'd recommend Magento. I've not used it, but I've
heard a lot of good things about it.

A subscription sign-up page? That doesn't sound like a shopping cart problem.

For just a subscription sign-up I use a PayPal button.  PayPal supports

[PHP] XMLRPC issue

2010-03-03 Thread Dmitry Ruban

Hi all,

I was upgrading php from 5.6 to 5.11 and came across one odd issue. Hope 
someone could point out what is the problem.


Following code demonstrates it:

$xml = 'encoding="UTF-8"?>';


echo xmlrpc_decode($xml);

I suspect to get "" as a result, but for some reason < and > are 
cut out and i'm getting "Test/". So basically all entities are dropped 
from response.


I have 2nd server running same OS (CentOS 5) which has been upgraded 
first and it works as i suspect, code above shows "".


Any advice will be much appreciated.

Currently I have temporary workaround for this:

$xml = str_replace(array('<','>'), array('<','>'), $xml);

but would like to fix xmlrpc somehow.

Regards,
Dmitry Ruban
