Back to original idea to parse table. Do not copy bad ideas from other templating engines. Again - reinvent a better wheel or use some from 1000s of existing libraries. Download some existing libraries, think about good and bad things, make it better, make it different! Otherwise we will end with 1000+1 stupid, same, useless templating libraries. You don't need to mix presentation and logic with Smarty. If you create your custom tags with Smarty and use these instead of having the inline Smarty PHP code, you'll have separated them just fine. Then if the end user wants to use PHP inline, fine, either let them, or don't. Either way, Smarty is about the fastest and most versatile engine in the PEAR library, as far as I know. I'd rather use that, than build something custom from scratch. And, in combination with Tidy and Cache_Lite, you'll get a very fast and precise rendering engine... Just my $0.02. I agree with Petr!! Smarty is very good and the designer has to learn a few smarty tags and Walla! you've got your templates working. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Creating PDF from a Image
There doesn't seem to be any function to add an image to an FDF document, but since an FDF is just a PDF file, you might be able to create a hack using a PDF generation library.

Thanks in advance David I'm not familiar with GD, but as every good font has different versions for bold, italic and so on, you might use those versions with separate font files. And since underlining is just a simple line (don't know how this works in GD, I've done this in FPDF) I would just draw a line from the beginning of the word to the end ... if it is possible in GD to get the current cursor position before and after inserting text. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I'm not quite sure if I did get your question right, but you answered
the question yourself.
include(anyfile.php); does nothing more then copy the code of
anyfile.php to the file, in which it is called. anyfile.php is
interpreted as HTML, so you should have your ?php brackets around the
document.
A.php---
function foo($bar) {
//do sth
}
B.php---
include[_once](A.php);
$x = anything you like;
$whatever = foo($x);
this works if A and B are in exactly the same directory, otherwise you
should change the path for the include call.

Hi Norbert,
Thanks for your reply. Yeah, you were almost there - it wasn't quite what I
had in mind. I probably should have elaborated on this one.
I'm looking at building up a library of handy functions that can be included
in a current script.
Only problem is:
(let's just say for clarity that lib.php == A.php; same)..
If I declare the functions in lib.php, then B.php can include lib.php but
cannot execute any functions within B.php (that were declared in lib.php).
it keeps coming up as function undeclared.
Any more ideas/thoughts? Or have I not gone about this correctly?

Maybe post your lib.php and B.php, but from your description I have no
idea what might cause this problem.
For testing maybe change your lib.php to sth like this
---lib.php
codeincluded lib.php/code
?php
echo('lib.php works');
//let your code follow here
?

RE: [PHP] Re: Making functions available from another script
If it was working properly the function would be callable. Your include is
probably not working - change it to require and see if you get an error.
Using include doesn't give you an error if the include file is not found.

Re: [PHP] Mcrypt 3DES encrypt/decrypt Help
I've never used the mcrypt functions, but from a quick read of the documentation I think you are using a 384 bit key!... Each letter in your key string is a 8bit ASCII character, and since you have 48 chars, you have 8*48 bits. The documentation says: Key is the key with which the data will be encrypted. If it's smaller that the required keysize, it is padded with '\0'. It is better not to use ASCII strings for keys. It is recommended to use the mhash functions to create a key from a string. and gives the example: $key = This is a very secret key; In that example the key is 25 bytes long, therefore 200 bits long, and then padded with \0s. If you want your key to represent the hex of the key then I believe you must use pack(), or one of the user comments on the bin2hex() help page (namely the hexbin() function).

RE: [PHP] Re: Making functions available from another script
DOH!! Okay, I've sorted out the [my] problem...
Instead of just doing the include relatively, I tried including it via the
full URL, ie. ?php include(http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]/lib.php;); ?
I guess it just includes output of the result of this typical HTTP parse.
By just doing ?php include(./lib.php); ?, everything works fine.
(Providing of course that the two files exist in the same directory.)
---
If you're interested, this is what I used to test it with:
lib.php:
?php
function doit($s) { return done: $s\n; }
function listem($s) { print 1 $s, 2 . $s. s, lots of .$s.s.\n; }
?
A.php:
--
?php include http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]/lib.php; ?
HTML
BODY
H1Something basic/H1
H2Let's do stuff:/H2
?php
$todo = doit(put out the garbage.);
$todo .= doit(pay the mower guy.);
$todo .= doit(finish that letter.);
$todo .= doit(take a break.);
print PRE\n$todo/PRE\n;
?
/BODY
/HTML

Original included produced an undefined call to function doit().

[PHP] Re: No forums?
Wow, go away for a few days and holy war breaks out...cool! Why not one system that supports both without extra work? The model I'm thinking of is Google or Yahoo groups(*). You can access any 'forum' via a web browser, search, post, reply, etc AND/OR you can subscribe to any forum and get messages sent to you via email (individual or digest format). At work, I sit behind a firewall and web access involves a multi-stop PITA process so listerservers work well for me there. At home, forum access is easier since I can go to the forum site, decide what I want to read and/or respond to without cluttering up my email client. Doug (*) - I am NOT suggesting this forum be configured like Yahoo, the search function absolutely sucks and I'm not a real fan of the layout, but the concept of a forum that's a list that's a forum...is what I like. For what it's worth, Yahoo has not PHP groups I can find but there are 33 over at Google with 100 - 1000 members. ___ This e-mail message has been sent by Kollsman, Inc. and is for the use of the intended recipients only.

Re: [PHP] No forums?
[snip] Currently, the universe is the way it is and, many believe, it works just fine. Why should we do anything at all? [/snip] Because we have no control over the existance and operation of the universe. If we did we would have changed it already. Our profound lack of understanding of the operation of the universe, even with leaders such as Bohr, Einstein, Feynman, and others prevent us from being able to exert any control. There are several PHP forums out there, just none on php.net. Bandwidth might be a consideration. Administrative workload might be another (you have noticed that there really isn't a list mod here -- although I was nominated for the position last week) and the workload for a forum could be several orders of magnitude higher, which I know from past experience. The thing that offended some, Roman, was your attitude in the post, as if you did not know that already. There are several good PHP based boards out there and the lack of one on php.net does not indicate any distaste for forums, and from the absence of a forum we cannot deduce anything at all (proper logic applied) any more than we can deduce something from your not owning a television set. The possibilities are too open ended. Furthermore, if you knew all of the potential replies (which you did not, even though you claimed to) why even open your e-mail editor (which you did) which, based on the discourse, we could assume that you have a distaste for?

[PHP] Strange pg_escape_string behavior
While using pg_escape_string to clean data being placed in a query sent to me
by the user i get
the following error after submitting the query with pg_execute:
pg_exec(): Query failed: ERROR: invalid regular expression: invalid escape \
sequence .
It seems to happen when using just a \ or text ending with a \ but not if a
\ is in the
middle of a string of text.
Why doesn't pg_escape_string catch this?
To restate it maybe a little more clearly, the error occurs when i do something
like:
(Pretend $_POST['user_item'] has the value car\ in it )
?PHP
$user_item = pg_escape_string($_POST['user_item']);
$dbconn = pg_connect('some connection string that works');
$query = SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE some_col = '$user_item' ;
$result = pg_execute($dbconn,$query);
?
I'm running PHP Version 4.3.4, and Apache 1.3.29.

Re[2]: [PHP] Creating PDF from a Image
Am Monday, November 7, 2005, 4:20:25 PM beglückte uns Manoj ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) mit folgendem Kommentar: PNG doen't support CMYK color scheme that's why I want to convert it in JPG first and then I want to create pdf file from that PJG file. I created pdf file from PJG using fpdf but no idea that how to I convert PNG to jpg file (not using any third part tool only uing php). If you don't want to use the formidable imagemagick package (where the conversion would be a one line bash command), you are out of look, I think, because the gdlib often packaged with php doesn't support cmyk jpeg files. External tool or nothing... ;-) Secondly, My motive is to create Press optimized pdf file rather than simple pdf file. As I said before, from my typesetting experience, PNG file format and press optimized PDF is something that don't fit together, a cmyk image isn't something that make a PDF press optimized, you have also look at the resolution of the images. If I create a file with a layout tool like Adobe InDesign with 72 dpi images and export it as press optimized PDF, even when the file is labeled press optimized, it's a pile of low quality crap from the prepress view of things.

What's the error message you're getting? That will be most helpful in
trying to diagnose the problem.
Likely, though, is the fact that you're trying to output
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] within your heredoc syntax, without wrapping it in
curly braces.
It should be:
{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}

Re: [PHP] Security Issues - Where to look?
Hi Richard, Monday, November 7, 2005, 9:50:59 PM, you wrote: I've heard that php is not particularly secure, making it problematic if you intend to create a web site with commerce, etc. Is there a particular news group that addresses security issues? I'm looking for some guidlines on ensuring that my site is secure from malicious hackers. The security of the application will be ultimately down to two factors: you, and your hosting environment. Server security is beyond the scope of this mailing list, and is a multi-faceted and complex area. Shoring up your OS, Apache and the likes can take years of skill. Or of course, your sys admin / web host does this all for you. Even so, it's an area not to be ignored. You can write the most secure application in the world, but if you've gone and chmod 777'd your directories on a shared box, you're anyones target. The security of your application is down to you however. There is a PHP security mailing list, but it's more for announcements than discussion. As for guidelines there are many free on-line resources, and you'd do worse than to start here: http://phpsec.org/library/ The majority of those documents are aimed at experienced PHP developers however. And the majority of blatant security holes come from the inexperienced who weren't aware of what they were doing wrong in the first place. There are several books available on the subject now, any (or all) of them would give you the grounding you need to know BEFORE you start coding: Pro PHP Security by Snyder Southwell (Apress) php architect's Guide to PHP Security by Ilia Alshanetsky (Nanobooks) Essential PHP Security by Chris Shiflett (O'Reilly) Also some on-line talks: http://brainbulb.com/talks php architect magazine has a security column each month as well (www.phparch.com) There's a lot of reading material out there. Just make sure you read it _before_ you start building, it'll save you days, if not weeks, of code changes.

I tested to use @fopen instead of fopen and it took 1 second longer...
I meant using:
if(($x = @fopen('http://www.stammis.com/getstart.php')) !== false) {
}
instead of:
if(file_exists('http://www.stammis.com/getstart.php')) {

}
And you need to check the speed more than once.

[PHP] PHP 5 XML/XSL problem
Hi
I've been using PHP 4 for the last year to do XSL transformations in one
of my applications. It worked like a charm, we never had any problems.
While I was investigating the feasability of moving to PHP 5, I
discovered that for some reason, the exact same XML/XSL fails to
transform properly. The relevant bit of XSL is below:
xsl:param name=pageContext select=UNDEFINED /
xsl:variable name=sections select=document('../xml/sections.xml') /
xsl:variable name=targetID select=//[EMAIL PROTECTED] = $pageContext]/@id
/
xsl:variable name=targetFileSrc
select=$sections/sections/[EMAIL PROTECTED] = $targetID] /
xsl:variable name=targetFile
xsl:choose
xsl:when test=($targetFileSrc/sectionContentSrc = 'none') or
(string-length($targetFileSrc/sectionContentSrc) = 0)
xsl:copy-of select=document('../xml/default.xml') /
/xsl:when
xsl:otherwise
xsl:copy-of select=document(concat('../xml/',
$targetFileSrc/sectionContentSrc)) /
/xsl:otherwise
/xsl:choose
/xsl:variable
xsl:variable name=cornerImage
select=$targetFile/content/headerContent/headerCornerImage /
xsl:variable name=shadowImage
select=$targetFile/content/headerContent/headerShadowImage /
--
with some sample XML as follows:
--
content
headerContent
headerCornerImagehome_nav_middle.gif/headerCornerImage
headerShadowImagehome_nav_bottom.gif/headerShadowImage
/headerContent
/content
I've checked and confirmed that pageContext gets properly initialised,
that all the referenced documents exist and are well-formed, and that
they contain the expected nodes. The error I get is evaluating variable
'cornerImage' failed, yet I cannot understand how this can be so. Apart
from the fact that it worked perfectly fine in PHP 4, all the XML and
XSL conforms to spec. Anyone have an idea? I'm using the PHP 5 DOM and
XSL libraries to handle everything in my upgraded version of the code;
the PHP 4 version used DOMXML and Sablotron.
