[PHP] pdf question
Hello... I have created a routine which outputs a pdf file of 'data only'. It is to be printed onto a pdf form which I obtain elsewhere. At present we are printing the blank form. Then placing it into the paper tray in order to print the data file to it. I would like to cause the data and form to both be printed on a single sheet, in one operation. That is; is it possible to cause the two files to be accessed in sequence, so that there is not a paper feed between them? For one to overlay the other?

It just stops dead. The body color is still there on the screen but
there is no more output to the screen nor is the pdf file produced.
I'm too lite on linux for the module question. I'll have the guru
look into that... Thanks.

Subject: [PHP] pdf routine - good local / bad online
Hi.
I have a routine creating a pdf file. Here is the script that works
on the win98 dev box. But when I upload it to the linux online, it
does not work.
It stops at 'create handle'. Can someone please tell me why?
// GET COMPANY INFO
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result)){
$name1 = $row['name1'];
$name2 = $row['name2'];
$addr1 = $row['addr1'];
$addr2 = $row['addr2'];
$city = $row['city'];
$stat = $row['stat'];
$zipc = $row['zipc'];
$phone = $row['phone'];}
// START PDF FILE
unlink('f:/localhost/adobe/' . $cocode . '_info.pdf');
// create handle for new PDF document
pdf_delete($pdf);
$pdf = pdf_new();
// open a file
pdf_open_file($pdf, 'f:/localhost/adobe/' . $cocode . '_info.pdf');
I do change the 'f:/localhost' to https://xx.xx.xx,xx when uploaded.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated... TIA

Re: [PHP] Re: Long screen display cut short.
Thanks for the guidance guys... Going on the idea that it was indeed a problem with script, arrays, etc., I found a few things. The display was well over 9000 characters before it failed, so that 8k max thing was unlikely in this case. But it seems to have been fixed by other things done. They all happened at more or less the same time so not sure which was the culprit. The first had to do with session_bug_compat_42. The ini is supposed to allow the error message to be shut off but doesn't. I started to get that error so the only way to eliminate it was to find the reason. It turned out it was an empty table that caused it. The next was a field name typo in an input query. Third, another table was corrupt to the point of being 'occupied', when looked at with phpMyAdmin. Even so, my program had seemed to run fine otherwise. All in all, I'm happy for finding all these things. We all should have more difficulties, eh? It would do us good. g Just kidding. I have not yet tried too hard to reintroduce the problem. If I take the time or have other news, I'll be sure to post it. Thanks again.

Yes, there are a bunch of arrays in the program. This is on a DSL line... ?? Would the asynco thing be likely, or possibly even standard, with DSL? Did you come up with a workaround?

Re: [PHP] dynamic arraynames
Just want to thank everyone and tell how it finally came out...
I was making way to much of this and went into difficult concepts too
quickly. That's where the problem came from. Trying to build on
earlier mistakes.
We already had an array for the column names so a suggestion that I
use one single array for all the data columns works out the best.
Now I'm unwinding that one long array according to how many name
fields there are in each row. As each process is done, the fields are
there in the original column order, no matter how big the x-y grid is.
The data from the 'basic' column arrays is also going to be included
in the single array too.
I'm not a wiz by any means so creating the best application 'method'
can be rough no matter what I know about the individual functions.
The *single* array just never dawned on me. Thanks for the help...
:-)

OK, I think I'm finally beginning to understand what you're up to, and it seems to me
everyine's been making rather heavy weather of it so far!
The user's choice is made from a drop down list of available items,
prior to running the routine itself. The choices are predetermined
and kept in a personal table to be called by the routine. This part
is finished to the point of putting the needed column names at the top
of the input columns on the form. The choices are fixed spellings to
match formula if-then's, etc.
If this is the case, couldn't you use 2-dimensional arrays with the column names as
the first dimension, and the values relating to it in the second dimension?
So you'd have something like
$user['colour'][0] $user['hobby'][0] $user['etc'][0]
$user['colour'][1] $user['hobby'][1] $user['etc'][1]
$user['colour'][2] $user['hobby'][2] $user['etc'][2]
$user['colour'][3] $user['hobby'][3] $user['etc'][3]
etc.
Anyway, going back to your forms:
if ($start_button==1)
{
print form action=$PHP_SELF method=get;
print Input the following information;
// these are your fixed cells and they now contain user input
print Name: input type=text name=name value=\$name\
size=20br;
print Temp: input type=text name=temp value=\$temp\
size=20br;
print Time: input type=text name=time value=\$time\
size=20br;
print Offset: input type=text name=offset value=\$offset\
size=20br;
print Input the names of the desired additional cells in the spaces
provided.;
// this is where your user will name the cells he asked to create
for($i=1;$i=$additional_cells;$i++)
{
print $i input type=text name=user_added[$i] size=20br;
}
OK, this looks good -- it will give you your array of column names. But you really
should quote all those attributes, so:
print $i input type=\text\ name=\user_added[$i]\ size=\20\br;
The next bit is where I'd do the clever stuff to build the 2-dimensional array:
Name Temp Time OffsetEtc. As needed...
process 1[input] [input] [input] [input] [inputs]
process 2[input] [input] [input] [input] [inputs]
process 3[input] [input] [input] [input] [inputs]
process 4[input] [input] [input] [input] [inputs]
Right now, for the three *basic* columns, I have the lines
below in a
'while' loop.
INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='temp[]' VALUE='$temp' SIZE='10'
MAXLENGTH='10'
INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='time[]' VALUE='$time' SIZE='10'
MAXLENGTH='10'
INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='offs[]' VALUE='$offs' SIZE='10'
MAXLENGTH='10'
So, you just need additional lines in your while loop to add the entries for the user
columns, named in such a way that you'll get back the 2-dimensional array I described
earlier. As you already have those column namers in the $user_added[] array built
above, we can do it like this:
foreach ($user_added as $user_col):
echo input type='text' name=\user['$user_col'][]\ size='10'
maxlength='10';
endforeach;
and, bingo, you have your user's input being submitted into a 2-dimensional array
indexable by column name and row number.
(Actually, to be absolutely sure all the row numbers match, I'd be outputting those
into the form field names as well.)
Additionally, having gone this far I'd consider doing the same sort of thing with
your standard columns, something like this:
$std_cols = array('temp', 'time', 'offs');
// now fill the $user_added[] array from database or wherever
echo form ..;
for ($n=0; $nROWS_NEEDED; $n++):
foreach ($std_cols as $col_id):
echo input type='text' name=\$col_id[$n]\ size='10' ;
endforeach;
foreach ($user_added as $col_id):
echo input type='text' name=\user['$col_id'][$n]\ size='10' ;
endforeach;
endfor;
You could even 2-dimensionalize your standard columns, so you
Re: [PHP] dynamic arraynames
The user's choice is made from a drop down list of available items,
prior to running the routine itself. The choices are predetermined
and kept in a personal table to be called by the routine. This part
is finished to the point of putting the needed column names at the top
of the input columns on the form. The choices are fixed spellings to
match formula if-then's, etc. The use is for data manipulation and
so proper tracking of name/data is important in that regard, but the
final output figures go to the same categories in all cases so those
tables are fixed.
The personal list table is to be called on the action page for keeping
the arrays in their proper order and usage. The original idea was
that the list would be used somehow for creating the required
$_request's etc.
But as you say, the tricky part is the naming of the columns, as we do
with the 'basic' column arrays. I don't know if this can be done.
Thought it might be possible with 'dot' adds of functions or some such
to command lines built on the fly but haven't been able to make it
happen.
But putting together what you and others are saying is giving me good
thoughts. :-) Although I am still not sure how to code all of this,
much less express it, I am getting the idea that all 'columns' would
have the same array name and that the position of the data within that
single array will be the determining factor as to where it is applied.
That is if we need 3 user columns and 4 rows we will end up with a
single array of 12 values... The three columns' fields would be
arranged as 1-4-7-10, 2-5-8-11 and 3-6-9-12.
That should work nicely. The column name list determines the number
of fields per row and the rest is automatic. Perhaps I was going off
the deep end before but this method seems much less involved. Anyone
see a problem with doing it this way?
Many thanks to all and I apologize for the verbosity.

Floyd,
I thought about this some and started noodling out a solution for you, but
have a few questions before I go any farther on this.
1. The part about users inputting their own column headers is relatively
straight forward. Something like this should work:
?php
if (!isset($start_button))
{
print form action=$PHP_SELF method=get;
print Input the following information;
// these are your fixed cells
print Name: input type=text name=name size=20br;
print Temp: input type=text name=temp size=20br;
print Time: input type=text name=time size=20br;
print Offset: input type=text name=offset size=20br;
// User inputs the number of additional cells needed
print Input number of additional cells needed: input type=text
name=additional_cells size=20br;
print input type=hidden name=start_button value=1;
print input type=submit value=\ Hit it! \;
print /form;
}
if ($start_button==1)
{
print form action=$PHP_SELF method=get;
print Input the following information;
// these are your fixed cells and they now contain user input
print Name: input type=text name=name value=\$name\ size=20br;
print Temp: input type=text name=temp value=\$temp\ size=20br;
print Time: input type=text name=time value=\$time\ size=20br;
print Offset: input type=text name=offset value=\$offset\
size=20br;
print Input the names of the desired additional cells in the spaces
provided.;
// this is where your user will name the cells he asked to create
for($i=1;$i=$additional_cells;$i++)
{
print $i input type=text name=user_added[$i] size=20br;
}
print input type=hidden name=additional_cells value=\$additional_cells\
;
print input type=hidden name=start_button value=2;
print input type=submit value=\ Hit it! \;
print /form;
}
if ($start_button==2)
{
print $name.br.$temp.br.$time.br.$offset.br;
for($i=1;$i=$additional_cells;$i++)
{
print user cell .$i. .$user_added[$i].br;
}
}
?
2. Now comes the tricky part, and the part I'm unsure about. You can
convert the user input in the above so that it becomes the names of the
input cells, or you can leave them in a numeric array. Leaving them in a
numeric array will be easier to deal with later.
Also, other than the display of a table, what do you want the user input
for? If you're planning on doing any data manipulation, then your coding
will get a bit hairy because you won't know what relation the user input
data has to your standard data (name, time, temp and offset). Finally, if
you're planning on storing the data in a database table, each table will
need to be created on the fly--it can be done, but if you're struggling with
this, it'll take you some time to get the back end working.
Hope this helps,
Hugh

Re: [PHP] dynamic arraynames
Thank you for your efforts. The ideas are helping but sorry I am not
clear. Not used to expressing myself regarding the coding I do.
What I am looking to do is this:
From a loop that is reading a list of titles, I want to input pieces
of information to each... The input fields will be in a column on a
form with the name of the array at the top.
In a loop to n:
print INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='fred[]' SIZE='10' MAXLENGTH='10' ;
Fred works fine hard coded but i get n fred's... I need the
individual array names to be whatever comes from the list, column by
column.
Maybe this is very simple but I am not seeing how it's done.

I've attached a php page that fetches this info from any size table then

[PHP] dynamic arraynames
Please can someone offer an idea.
I am trying to generate arrays to hold inputs to columns. Column
titles are input to a table as needed. They are read by the program
and placed across the page. Then an array goes under each column name
to collect the inputs to the various rows. Everything works except to

while($foo=mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result)){

I can't see how to change the name of the array on the fly.
Or maybe their is a better way?
Thanks in advance.

[PHP] which linux?
This is a bit ot but 'related', and I know you guys know... I'm about to buy a new machine and want to install linux instead of ms. I've never touched the stuff before but I hear Mandrake 8.1 is good for easy install, etc. Would anyone have suggestions on buying a new machine, chip compatibility, best linux, etc?? And since I don't know much more than the linux name and reputation, can I maybe get an idea of an average learning curve time frame? Right now I'm set up on win32 with apache php4.1 and mysql which is what I'll be doing with the new one. Thanks.

[PHP] numeric numbers to alpha strings.
Hello Are there any conversion routines around for changing numeric dollar amounts to spelled out strings for putting on checks? I wrote a quick basic routine a long time ago It took any number such as '12532' and created a string 'one hundred, twenty-five dollars and 32 cents' It works just fine for amounts up to 20 or 30 thousand but I thought there might be this nice little function out there somewhere TIA Floyd -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://wwwphpnet/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://wwwphpnet/unsubphp
Re: [PHP] My php goes poof.
I've had this set up on a win98 Pentium II 350 machine for a year and a half. It seems the problem goes way back a long time but can't be sure. It doesn't happen on the isp where things go when done, so I lived with it on this machine. I always expected it was some needed garbage collection, an overflow or other limited thing that was happening. Like maybe the ini's weren't optimal..? Actually I expected to hear it was a common problem but that it could be fixed. :-/ Because it's been there through upgrades, etc. Maybe it does relate to an old 98 problem. So no one else ever had this happen? Are there any ideas on 'potential' trouble spots or 'switches' to throw? If I can't just edit an ini, I'll have to give the re-installs another try...

[PHP] Manual input, to form, to array, to session register...
Before 4.1 we used an input form with default field values and manual override input to an array and then posted to an action page. All was good until global_register were turned off. Now I need to make this work using the session register. I have the all this working and passing defined variables ok. How is this done with a manual input? I have tried to use the same input line as before print INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='rate[]' VALUE='$rate' SIZE='5'; but cannot integrate it into the session register.I have also tried track_var configurations with no luck. I can get $vars into the register but I need to input values to an array manually. I know it's here somewhere but can I get a pointer. Thanks.

Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H. Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] What I'm trying to do would be more like the reverse... I don't have $rate predefined but need to input it manually via a form. It needs to go into the session register, not be read from it. How does one make a manual *form* entry go directly into the session register. That's about the basic idea I think. I can make name='rate[]' work the old way but can't get name='rate[]' into the session register.

Sorry about that. I meant to..

$page_views = $_SESSION['page_views'];
No need for this, in fact this is what is preventing it from working! Once
you've used session_register('var'), $var is available for use.
Still ng.. I've eliminated the line on each and both pages in turn
but still no improvement. The count is going from 0 to 1 on the first
invoke, then from 1 to 3 after passed to the second page. From there
on it falls apart, repeating 1 to 2 or 1 to 3 depending on the page.
The session file never sees a higher value once the initial 1 is
input. It just keeps starting over from that same point.
print brReturn Page;
print brBefore increment = $page_views;
//increment the counter:
$page_views++;
$page_views++;
You're inc'ing $page_views twice, this is what makes you *think* the
session is working when in fact it isn't!
hth
The double increment was to give me a different count for the second
page just to tell where I was at any time. I see the count go
1-2-1-3-1-2-1-3-1-2 etc., as it passes back and forth.
Ahh, but I thought that was what the Send Page and Return Page was for :)
But it's still not climbing.
1) You could try reloading (F5 if using IE) the Send Page, if sessions were
working you should see the counter counting.
2) session.save_path = c:/tmp, I don't use PHP on Windows, but looking at the
other settings, paths for Windows systems are specified with a backslash. Try
session.save_path = c:\tmp
Refreshing was what I was doing in the original single page, but it
wasn't working. I went to two pages to try and help show what was
going on. Still reloading doesn't help. Neither does the dos slash
reversal. I thought that might be going to do it for a while, but
nothing. :-
I only listed the *un* rem'ed lines of the ini session portion. Is it
possible I need to remove a rem on one of those that were rem'ed?
It's a vanilla 'suggested' ini.
Or maybe an error log I can look at? Can such a report be created?

Can someone tell me why this is not working right? Two pages are
basically the same, passing an accumulating value back and forth.
There is no other session being created. The first time it increments
and passes to the second page, and is picked up. It puts a 1 in the
session file. After that, it seems to try, as in editor wanting to
reload, but the contents don't increase beyond 1.

[PHP] File open with 4.1
I'm now using $S_REQUEST to pass things on a win32 with apache and
php4.1. In touching stuff up on the isp however, things are
incompatible. I have gone to using $HTTP_POST_VAR, etc. instead, so
when the isp goes to 4.1 we only need to replace them with $_REQUEST.
Is that the way to go?
Now a new thing. I have gotten to this point where everything is on
the page but it doesn't open the file. Is there some more conversion
needed re 4.1? It would be nice to know just yes or no. tks...
$textfile = fopen($filename,'w');
if(!($textfile))
{
print(The File could not be opened.);
exit;
}
if($text ) // write a line to the file
{
fputs($textfile, (stripslashes($text)));
}
fclose($textfile);

Hi
I have been reading but can't get sessions to even try working..
The set up is win32/php4.1/apache.
Reading the list I have done what was suggested where it I could
understand it. Just went nuts creating /tmp dirs everywhere I could
think of to see if any of them worked... Nada! Also changed the ini
line to point to c:/tmp, etc. Still ng.
Here is one of the scrips that doesn't work.
session_start();
session_register('page_views');
$page_views++;
print br You have viewed this page ;
print $page_views;
print times(s).;
The ini is the 'recommended' version with register_globals off and
whatever vanilla settings were in there. Everything else seems to be
working... I can pass vars using $_REQUEST just fine. What's wrong?

Subject: [PHP] Passing. Which method to use?
Hi once again.
What's the consensus on the best way to pass arrays from page to page?
By serializing? But I think it's not recommended?
By writing then reading to a text file? Maybe?
By inputting to and pulling from db records? Possibilities?
Any other?
Thanks in advance.
Floyd
Ok then that makes it unanimous. I will use sessions...
Except it isn't working yet.
I have just put in 4.1.1 and everything seems good with that. I have
been able to pass vars using $_request() etc... But here is the
script I just now tested and it stays at the count of '1'. Other
sessions test scripts do not work either. I was not using sessions
before this install of 4.1.1 either.
Can there be anything, new or old, in 4.1.1 that I need to fix?
As with register_globals and whatever else that has been changed?
Here is the script straight off the tutorial:
//? //'s here only.
// initialize a session
session_start();
// register a session variable
session_register('counter');
// increment and display the value of the counter
$counter++ ;
echo(You have visited this page $counter times! Don't you have
anything else to do, you bum?!);
//?
Thanks.

want to do something like this, to split every line with a br:

[PHP] linking to specific spot on map?
Hi.. We have a city map using co-ordinates to link to specific info on various buildings, etc. The links bring up an information page with data and photos for each building locations on the map. My question is, when this information page is accessed from another direction, say a menu, can there be a link that operates in 'reverse', back to the map and the building in question? We still want people to see the map, relating to a specific building, whether they start there or end up there. I thought the map could perhaps position itself so that the point of interest is always in the center, or that it blinks, or has a arrow pointing to it. It doesn't matter what the final display looks like, just that is shows a particular location clearly. Can anyone say if this is even possible? Thanks.

Re: [PHP] my bugaboo.
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.

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.

The apostrophes truncate the rest of the text. 'Don't cry over spilled milk', in a field, turns into 'Don'... I have php4 mod in my win32 devbox. The isp is php3. Is this the problem? What is the best way out of it please? Thanks in advance.
