KM Look in the archives, it´s less than 2 weeks since this was
KM discussed (again :-)
If you're referring to the subject Multilingual Web application - how
to? (the only multi-language thread in this mailing list since the
start of April - I checked before posting) then I'm afraid it didn't
even come close to covering any of the issues raised, it was simply
one post with one specific reply.
Nops, not that thread. Look for the subject language files, the mail was sent
around 7/4-2005

I don't think you'll find anything in PHP as simple as the shell
script version of dialog, but you may be able to bang something
together like that using ncurses.
Probably handier if your time is more important than the machines, to
just use the shell version using one of the Program Executions
functions.
Personally I suggest passthru:
?php
function yesno($str){
$tmpvar = 0; // to avoid E_NOTICE
passthru(dialog --yesno . escapeshellarg($str) . 200 10, $tmpvar);
return $tmpvar;
}

[PHP] Levels of Site Protection
I'm working on a website for a musical outfit where different levels of access are required depending on the specific section. Writers will have access to a section of the site where they can listen to an entire album (for review). Radio personnel will have access to a section of the site where they can download radio-quality mp3 versions of singles. Can anyone suggest how to approach this? Is the easiest way to set up a table of username and passwords associated with an id which would let me know what level of access they have and direct them accordingly? Thanks in advance... -R.

You can make a list of all actions that can be performed in your system, and then map subsets of these actions to roles. Then each actor (user of the system) gets a role and you can easily check if he can do a certain action.

Eugene, your reply-to address is set -Original Message- From: Mark Rees Sent: 15 April 2005 09:08 To: 'Eugene Voznesensky' Subject: RE: [PHP] Reverse plural forms to singular for search That sounds like a nightmare! Assuming you are talking about English, you might be able to make some progress by removing trailing s or es for words. This would trim words down to their stem. You could do this with a regular expression, which will need to do something like look for es or s with no preceding s at the end of words (to avoid trimming words like glass). It will not catch forms like medium/media and thesis/theses. You could think about trying to trim words like that down to their stem (med in this case). In fact, would just trimming off the last two letters and searching for that do for you? It depends on the range of words you are searching for.

Re: [PHP] Tomcat and php in Suse 9.2
I noticed you never had a reply for this, its probably because this is non standard, or totally not heard of. What I would do, (even though I have yet to try this), is run php standard as a module in apache, but then run the tomcat connector jk or jk2 into apache, so it will run seamlessly. There is prob alot of settings to configure to do it though. Tomcat has a nice easy to understand xml descriptor, i actually prefer them than .conf files ;) On 14/04/2005, at 7:30 PM, Andreas Persson wrote: I have installed tomcat and added php-support with help of the php-servlet but it seem like php cant find any of the extensions installed. Like mysql. I have the php4-mysql package installed. If i run php -i from the commandline its telling me that I have mysql-support and a small php-script runned from the commandline verifies this. But if i run phpinfo() from a php-page under tomcat there is no support for mysql (or anyother extension). It tells me that its using /etc/php.ini and I have enabled the mysql extension in it.

[PHP] Barcodes
I just ordered a CueCat from eBay to play with reading Barcodes. Of course we'll use a Symbol or some other reader when we implement this in production, but I thought this would be a start. There are several classes at phpclasses.org (http://www.google.com/custom?q=barcodehl=enlr=ie=UTF-8oe=ISO-8859-1c2coff=1client=pub-2951707118576741cof=FORID:1%3BL:http://files.phpclasses.org/graphics/googlesearch.jpg%3BLH:50%3BLW:256%3BGL:1%3BBGC:A3C5CC%3BT:%2300%3BLC:%23ff%3BVLC:%23663399%3BALC:%23ff%3BGALT:%23663399%3BGFNT:%23ff%3BGIMP:%23ff%3BDIV:%2322%3BLBGC:A3C5CC%3BAH:center%3BS:http://www.phpclasses.org/search.html%3Bdomains=www.phpclasses.orgsitesearch=www.phpclasses.orgstart=10sa=N) for generating barcodes. At this point I'm assuming a form with a text field with onchange=this.form.submit(); would handle reading the barcode and submitting it. I'm assuming we would need to have all our barcodes in a single format (codabar, code39, etc). Would I then need to store barcode data. The barcodes will be generated from unique part numbers so I'm thinking I can generate them (and compare them to input) on the fly. -- Thanks for any help, Mike Smith -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Few day ago I have a brilliiant or an stupid idea to narrate to my teacher if I can make my final course project with PHP. They tell me that is possible always I use OpenGL. So, I investigate in Discussion Boards and they tell me that exists SDL library and I can use it to comunicate my application with OpenGL. Well Y have the phpSDL library and I made my fisrt things. But I have a problem and it's that I haven't more information to continue. If exists somebody in this list that this idea pass for his mind can help me? Or somebody know how obtain documentation about it? Regards Reynier Pérez Mira 3ero. Ing. Informática Entre más inteligente me siento, más me doy cuenta de lo ignorante que soy.
Re: [PHP] dynamic image will not print properly
I got it figured out finally!
It is so stupid with what the issue was...
My image was being created exactly as it should have been - and the
code was fine. Now where my issue was: I had a line of code in there
that was to prevent people from calling the script directly (had to be
referred from a particular page). Well IE did not like that for
printing. Even though the script acted exactly as it should have by
design. I saved the image to my desktop to test it, and when opening in
an image app - it would not even open (even though displaying fine in a
browser). So I changed the file ext of the downloaded file to that of a
text file and opened it... and what do you know - there was the error
my php script generates when the page is not called properly.
So I removed that line of code (completely irrelevant to the image
itself) And win/IE could print like all the other browsers could.
doh!

One thing I feel is important to point out before I keep banging my
head off of the wall here...
In the URL parameter that is sent to the file, the url parameter is
just carrying text that is printed into the image. It is not actually
the image name, or anything. The image is generated in the cstl file
(which actually is the image - sends JPEG headers,etc) - with the text
on it (grabbed from the URL parameter).

Yup.
$_PATH['x'] for the items that look like this: .../x=42/
And $PATH (without the underscore) is a string concatenation of all
elements (after the PHP script) that look like this /whatever/
So you might use something like a PHP script named 'scale' and then:
http://example.com/scale/width=100/height=100/images/subdir/
bigpic.jpg
and then you know that you want to scale the image in your
images/subdir
naemd bigpic.jpg down to 100x100 at maximum.
You'll have:
$_PATH['width'] - 100
$_PATH['height'] - 100
$PATH = '/images/subdir/bigpic.jpg'

Yes.
Something like:

Hi there - I had my first crack at creating a dynamic image. The
thing
is - the image is displayed fine in the browser, but when you go
to
print it, the image is either missing, or part of it is missing.
Is
there something special needed to print a dynamic image?
What you did, *should* work just fine.
But we're talking *MICROSOFT* here!
These people do *NOT* follow standards. Period.
Here is a code snippet used to create the image
header(Content-type: image/jpg);
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg(template_cpn.jpg);
$red = imagecolorallocate( $image, 255,0,0 );
imagestring($image, 2, 306, 200, $couponcode, $red);
imagestring($image, 2, 306, 235, $exp, $red);
imagestring($image, 2, 175, 338, $myname, $red);
imagestring($image, 2, 175, 360, $myemail, $red);
imagejpeg($image);
imagedestroy($image);
Now the way I have it set up, is that there is a PHP file that
generates the image (the above code). Then I have a parent PHP
page
that calls that page like so:
$theurl = cstl.php?dk=soemthinghere
echo img src=\$theurl\;
See any issues in my code or setup?
Any ideas?
Here's what you do: You make it *IMPOSSIBLE* for Microsoft to
screw
up.
This means you make your URL look JUST LIKE any other JPEG URL.
$theurl = cstl/dk=somethinghere/whatever.jpg;
Step 1:
Add/Create an .htaccess file with this:
Files cstl
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
/Files
This forces Apache to treat the file named 'cstl' as a PHP
script.
Step 2:
Rename cstl.php to just 'cstl' (see Step 1)
Step 3:
Instead of using $_GET['dk'] do this:
$pathinfo = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
$pathinfo = explode('/', $pathinfo);
//Key-Value pairs:
$_PATH = array();
//Path information buried in URL for source image
sub-directories:
$PATH = array();
while (list(, $keyval) = each($pathinfo)){
$parts = explode('=', $keyval);
switch(count($parts)){
case 0: break; //do nothing with bogus extra '/' in URL
case 1: $PATH[] = $keyval;

$key = $parts[0];

[PHP] Mysql insert problems
All,
I have a form which submits technical requests. It worked fine on an
old linux box using Mysql 3 series but recently we switched to windows
2003 server SP1 using Mysql 4.1.10. It was doing this before the
service pack. I get the form values and then insert them into a table.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it dies. I don't know where to look
to fix this. Here is my code:
?php
$Email = $_POST['Email'];
$Phonenumber = $_POST['Phonenumber'];
$RoomNo = $_POST['RoomNo'];
$Situation = $_POST['Situation'];
$type = $_POST['type'];
if (!( (empty($Phonenumber)== TRUE) || (empty($Email)== TRUE) ||
(is_email($Email) == false) ) )
{
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$DateRec = date(Y) .-.date(m).-.date(d);
$TimeRec = date(H).:.date(i).:.date(s);
// initialize database connection
include ('../../db.inc');
$connection = mysql_connect($Host,$User,$Password) or
die(Invalid server or user);
// select database
mysql_select_db(techsupport, $connection);
//formulate and run query
$query = insert into
techsupport(Completed,Phonenumber,RoomNo,Email,Situation,DateRec,TimeRec,ip)

$result = mysql_query($query,$connection) or die(Couldn't

$WONumber = mysql_insert_id();
etc...
Any help would be appreciated.

RE: [PHP] Amazon/eBay API
There is a PHPNuke (web portal application) module that will allow you to open an Amazon Store on your website. NukeAmazon http://www.PrecioGasolina.com/ I'm still looking for an eBay feed, I think the barrier there is that I heard eBay charges some big bucks to be able to access the interface. Amazon on the other hand recognized the power of having a proliferation of front-ends promoting and selling their products and provides access pretty much for free (there are features you can pay extra for if you are inclined). Don't know if eBay will ever come along. Apple, even today, doesn't recognize that IBM gained it's dominance by giving away its bios listing and hardware specs (and some of its business) in the very beginning, while apple looked at that type of move as giving away income it was intitled to receive and jealously guarded it's monopoly, even sueing vendors in some cases. eBay probably feels they already have a monopoly on auction sites and don't need to give their stuff away.

Hi Whilst you are searching the net, you might also want to search for 'sql injection'. This is no joke! Please use the mysql_escape_string on each variable you get from the user side.

[PHP] create file download page for firefox using net-transport thru flashGot?
Hello, PHP gurus, As a PHP newbie, I am trying to create a PHP page that generates and force dowload a file depending on user's input. Attached is the code. I give 's' to 'submit' and double checked that the value is correctly retried and the control flow is right. It works well if I use direct download of firefox or open the download file with an editor. It also works well with IE. But if I tried to download the file thru flashGot extension of firefox, which is connected to net-transport (an multi-thread download accelerator), the name field has 'tmp' instead of the real file name. And the downloaded tmp has only the stderr saying that '/var/tmp' can not be removed as it is a directory. But this flashGot works if I replace the variables with its real value. I tried to output the value of $filenm and it is correct. It must be sth that has to do with how this sort of download accelerator deals with HTML headers. Has anyone seen this problem before? can I have some hint? Thanks a lot -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
