As others have said - MDB2 or PDO are the Pear:DB replacements, but if you would like a proper abstraction of SQL then ADOdb is still the best choice and it can handle PDO or raw mysql drivers internally.

AW: [PHP] scalable web gallery
in 1 year, there going to be more than 1000 photo uploaded or more. That isnt really much. A directory can held much more than a few thousand files. They use more than one Server because 1 Server can't handle the load. The dont do that because of limited File system. But the file system may get slower if you have thousands of files in one dir. So maybe make dirs like c/a/cartoon.jpg to get not too much files in one dir. If you need several Servers for this depends on how many visitors you have. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: paragasu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10.

I never did create a big image gallery but I have worked with uploaded
files quite many times. There are many solutions to this so it depends
on what you have and what you are willing to do.
A first solution that I can think of is to separate your images in
categories. Add a field in the database table that describes the image
category and make a directory with the same name. When you query the
database you will get the filename of the image (or something like that)
and you will get the image from this specific directory. If you so many
images that this does not solve this you may add an extra field in the
database and add subcategories and move the files into a subdir
(subcategory) inside the previously mentioned dir (category).
Another solution that is better if you are not willing to categorize the
images is to divide them by date. You may include a date or date-time
field in the database that describes the creation date of the image (or
the upload date if you like) and divide the images into directories per
month or per year or even both. Like making a directory 2008 and add
inside sub-directories like 01,02,03... or Jan,Feb,Mar etc. Now when you
query the database you may find from the creation date the directory
that sores the image and everything is in order. For e.g.
If the date you got from the database is 2008-01-23 and the image name
is image01.jpg then the path would be:
?php
$date = '2008-01-23';
$fname = 'image01.jpg';
list($year,$month,$day) = split('-',$date);
$file_dir = '/data/images';
$path = $file_dir./.$year./.$month./.$fname;
print $path;

I'm sure it won't be this easy because of who knows what (like
inheriting code, etc), but why not just use something easier like:
$replace = array(
'{%key1%}' = 'value1',
'{%key2%}' = 'value2'
);
$html = str_replace(
array_keys($replace),
array_values($replace),
file_get_contents('tpl.html')
);
Or the easiest is to just use raw php code seeing as php is a
templating language. :)

[PHP] cookie encoding/decoding
I have a situation where a cookie is being set elsewhere on a site by ASP.NET, and I want to read it in my PHP. However, when getting a cookie in PHP, it does an automatic urldecode (or some kind of decoding). Since the cookie is entered in its pure form, with no encoding, on the ASP.NET side, PHP is actually converting/decoding correct characters that don't need decoding. So, for example a plus sign would become a blank space. This, of course, means I'm getting incorrect info from the cookie. Is there a way to turn off this PHP feature?

The initial page is in this format: https://www.targetsite.com/subdir/page.asp?serialno=GM201OtherCode=NextCode= So I have various GET parameters. The initial input page also has POST parameters which I can see the in page source, and so send via CURL. I cannot find any javascript doing a set_cookie, including in any included files of which there are none anyway.

i am planning to create a web photo gallery. i know there is a lot

i want it to be scalable.
the plan is saving the image metadata in the database and keep the
original files
in a folder. while it work perfectly, i afraid how many files 1
directory can keep.
in 1 year, there going to be more than 1000 photo uploaded or more.
sure it bring problem
to maintain thus files.
when i see big2 website out there like friendster, photobucket. the
url for the image change
like
pic-1.domain.com/images/filename.jpg
pic-2.domain.com/images/filename.jpg
etc. they seems to put the image in different subdomain. Just wan't to
ask anyone who
did create a big-big web gallery like this. How did you do it?
Those guys are probably having their images hit over a million times a
day. They also likely have millions of images. They are using multiple
servers to load balance the image serving. Whether this also is used to
distribute the images themselves is another question.
In Linux a single directory can easily handle hundreds of thousands of
files. If you expect there to be million in short time, you can always
bucket the images. Bucketing involves generating some kind of ID that
can be used to generate bucket directories. For instance if you decide
you want 1000 buckets, you can an unique integer ID for images in the
database and modulo the uid by 1000 to determine the bucket directory.
This means if you have 100,000 images then there would be 1000
directories and 100 images in each. As you grow to 1 million images you
would approach 1000 images in 1000 directories. Server offloading can
work similarly. And you can combine approaches. For instance if you have
10 servers to dedicate to images then you can do the following:
$serverId = $imageUid % 10;
$bucketId = $imageUid % 1000;
$url = http://image{$serverId}.myDomain.com;
./{$bucketId}/{$imageFile};
So for the first 20 images you would have:
http://image1.myDomain.com/1/aa.jpg
http://image2.myDomain.com/2/ab.jpg
http://image3.myDomain.com/3/ac.jpg
http://image4.myDomain.com/4/ad.jpg
http://image5.myDomain.com/5/ae.jpg
http://image6.myDomain.com/6/af.jpg
http://image7.myDomain.com/7/ag.jpg
http://image8.myDomain.com/8/ah.jpg
http://image9.myDomain.com/9/ai.jpg
http://image10.myDomain.com/10/aj.jpg
http://image1.myDomain.com/11/ak.jpg

http://image8.myDomain.com/18/ar.jpg
http://image9.myDomain.com/19/as.jpg

Of course, if you have multiple servers, you need some mechanism on the
backend to migrate uploaded images to the appropriate server.
Hope that helps.

As I wrote to Ted off-list.
A fixed width is not easier for me. After years of being forced to
use a command, light on dark, and one font, it's a relief to pick
what I want.
All my correspondence, email, notes, and coding is done in one font.
The only time I change fonts is in final
formal-presentations/publications and web sites.
For me, consistency between me and the computer screen is paramount
in all my writing, including coding. I don't want to see the same
word presented differently based upon what application I'm using.
As far as alignment of brackets and whatnot, I have absolutely no
problem with the weird-ass style I use, which I use for ALL
languages, namely:
php/javascript
whatever()
{
whatever;
}
and html
whatever
whatever
/whatever
and css
.whatever
{
whatever: whatever;
}
and whatever else (i.e., actionscript, perl, c, c++, FB, and more
than I want to remember).
A tab is consistent regardless of the type of font you use. I could
not imagine putting spaces in my code when tabs work exceedingly well.

Then, with improved filesystems, the limit was rumored to be another magic number: 65535. That depended on the operating system, filesystem, and the kernel. I think (but don't quote me on this) that BeOS had the 65535 limit. Now, on an ext3 filesystem (we're not counting ReiserFS because (1) I was never a fan, and (2) he might kill me if I say something bad! 8^O) you're okay with hundreds of thousands of files per directory. ls'ing will be a bit of a pain in the ass, and if you're in Bash, you probably don't want to double-TAB the directory, but all in all, you'll be okay. Still, I'd create 16 subdirectories under the images directory: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f. Then name the file as an MD5 hash of the image uploaded, and place it in the directory matching the first character of the new file name. Aren't directory structures in Windows (2.x) and even DOS (4.x) built with B-Trees? I wouldn't figure there would be any kind of limit--excepting memory, of course--to how many files or subdirectories can be linked to a single node. Been a while since I've played with those underlying data structures we all take for granted, though, so maybe I'm way off base. They may all be B-Trees but the storage mechanism often differs between one filesystem and another. FAT16 and FAT32 both suffered from limitations on the number of files that could exist in a directory. Actually, I may be wrong about FAT32, but I do know for certain it had massive slowdown if it hit some magic number. tedd also sent me an e-mail that sparked a memory of mine... the b-trees, regardless of their efficiency, still assign each dir/file INode an identifying number. This number, obviously, can only get so large in the context of one b-tree object (i.e., a directory).

Re: [PHP] scalable web gallery
what Robert suggest, is something exactly what the big-big photos
gallery out there used
to store their image. Distributing the image into many servers. But i
am not very sure, how
they store the image location information inside the database.
But i like the idea of using imageUId to determine where to store the image.
I think, storing image in a bucket with 100 images each can make the image more
manageable..
thanks for that idea..

like
pic-1.domain.com/images/filename.jpg
pic-2.domain.com/images/filename.jpg
etc. they seems to put the image in different subdomain. Just wan't to
ask anyone who
did create a big-big web gallery like this. How did you do it?
Those guys are probably having their images hit over a million times a
day. They also likely have millions of images. They are using multiple
servers to load balance the image serving. Whether this also is used to
distribute the images themselves is another question.
In Linux a single directory can easily handle hundreds of thousands of
files. If you expect there to be million in short time, you can always
bucket the images. Bucketing involves generating some kind of ID that
can be used to generate bucket directories. For instance if you decide
you want 1000 buckets, you can an unique integer ID for images in the
database and modulo the uid by 1000 to determine the bucket directory.
This means if you have 100,000 images then there would be 1000
directories and 100 images in each. As you grow to 1 million images you
would approach 1000 images in 1000 directories. Server offloading can
work similarly. And you can combine approaches. For instance if you have
10 servers to dedicate to images then you can do the following:
$serverId = $imageUid % 10;
$bucketId = $imageUid % 1000;
$url = http://image{$serverId}.myDomain.com;
./{$bucketId}/{$imageFile};
So for the first 20 images you would have:
http://image1.myDomain.com/1/aa.jpg
http://image2.myDomain.com/2/ab.jpg
http://image3.myDomain.com/3/ac.jpg
http://image4.myDomain.com/4/ad.jpg

Of course, if you have multiple servers, you need some mechanism on the
backend to migrate uploaded images to the appropriate server.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,

Then, with improved filesystems, the limit was rumored to be another magic number: 65535. That depended on the operating system, filesystem, and the kernel. I think (but don't quote me on this) that BeOS had the 65535 limit. Now, on an ext3 filesystem (we're not counting ReiserFS because (1) I was never a fan, and (2) he might kill me if I say something bad! 8^O) you're okay with hundreds of thousands of files per directory. ls'ing will be a bit of a pain in the ass, and if you're in Bash, you probably don't want to double-TAB the directory, but all in all, you'll be okay. Still, I'd create 16 subdirectories under the images directory: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f. Then name the file as an MD5 hash of the image uploaded, and place it in the directory matching the first character of the new file name. Aren't directory structures in Windows (2.x) and even DOS (4.x) built with B-Trees? I wouldn't figure there would be any kind of limit--excepting memory, of course--to how many files or subdirectories can be linked to a single node. Been a while since I've played with those underlying data structures we all take for granted, though, so maybe I'm way off base. They may all be B-Trees but the storage mechanism often differs between one filesystem and another. FAT16 and FAT32 both suffered from limitations on the number of files that could exist in a directory. Actually, I may be wrong about FAT32, but I do know for certain it had massive slowdown if it hit some magic number. tedd also sent me an e-mail that sparked a memory of mine... the b-trees, regardless of their efficiency, still assign each dir/file INode an identifying number. This number, obviously, can only get so large in the context of one b-tree object (i.e., a directory). In spite of this mental exercise, I do *NOT* miss my Data Structures Algorithms class. :) Really? That along with distributed computing, and parallel computing were my favourites... and here I am programming for the Web... I guess it's distributed ;) Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You only want to sharpen that image if the rest is easy on the eyes too.
Some things are better left grainy.
