[PHP] Magic Quotes or Curley Quotes or Something
I recently upgraded my server. It is running Ubuntu Linux with PHP and MySQL. My site allows people to post content to their own web oages through a web interface. Many of my customers compose their content on a word processer and then cust and paste it to the web interface for insertion to the database and later retrevial and display on a web page. The problem I am having is that content which includes quotes is is not being seen correctly. Rather than inserting a slashed quote (/), it inserts a bunch of strange formatted gunk. A sample of the problem anc be seen at www.dallypost.com/ranch/page5688.php Thanks -- Lance Earl, President DallyPost, Inc. - Equine Marketing/Training/Shows Rockland, Idaho 208-548-2721 or 208-604-2721 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dallypost.com http://www.dallypost.com/ranch Horse Marketing - Clinics - Shows -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Magic Quotes or Curley Quotes or Something
Hi Marco, Thanks for the help, you gave me a place to start. Before doing what would amount to a lot of coding to correct this problem throughout my site I wanted to see if it could be corrected on the server side. I found the following section in the php.ini file: ; As of 4.0b4, PHP always outputs a character encoding by default in ; the Content-type: header. To disable sending of the charset, simply ; set it to be empty. ; ; PHP's built-in default is text/html default_mimetype = text/html default_charset = utf-8 ;default_charset = iso-8859-1 In the default file the iso-8859-1 line was commented out so I uncommented it to see it that would help. It changed the unreadable goop to another type of unreadable goop but the problem remained. I then recommented the iso-8859-1 line and added the utf-8 line. This changed the output back to what I had before. My thinking is that since my code worked under the older version of php, it should also work under the newer version if I can configure it correctly.

A sample of the problem anc be seen at www.dallypost.com/ranch/page5688.php You have an encoding problem--the content is being uploaded to your site using a different encoding mechanism (most likely utf-8) than the one you use to display it. I'm not much of an expert in this area, but a couple of suggestions: 1. You're already outputting UTF-8 code from the looks of it, so a simple Header (Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8); Or even adding this to your HTML code in the HEAD: META HTTP-EQUIV=content-type CONTENT=text/html; charset=utf-8 Should do it. Remember to also use htmlentities ($data, null, utf-8); to properly encode the entities in your content. 2. Convert the text over from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1. I think you can use utf8_decode, or you may have to go with the mbstring extension (not too sure here, I'd just go ahead and convert everything over to UTF-8). I'm sure some other people who have more experience with this stuff can give you even more pointers, but this should get you started.

[PHP] imagecopyresized() problems
I am trying to create a piece of code that will create and display
thumbnail image. When trying to send the image to a browser, I see
binary data rather then an image. You can see the problem at
www.dallypost.com/a/test.php
The troubled cose for this page follows:
?PHP
//a master image may be any image of any size
//If the master image exists, the thumb will be created and output to
the browser
//requires path from the file system home directory as
$master_image_path
//requires the name of the master image as $master image
//test variables -- will eventually be defined by the calling module
$master_image_path = /home/html/74ranch/uploads/;
$master_image = chex34.jpg;
if(!isset($thumb_width))
{
$thumb_width = 80;
}//end if
//make sure that the master file exists
$master_image_all = $master_image_path;
$master_image_all .= $master_image;
//remove this section after coding is complete
$master_image_all_link = /74ranch/uploads/;
$master_image_all_link .= $master_image;
print(img src = $master_image_all_link);
if(file_exists($master_image_all))
{
$size = getimagesize($master_image_all);
$width = $size[0];
$height = $size[1];
//calculate thumb height
$factor = $width / $thumb_width;
$thumb_height = $height * $factor;
$thumb_height = $thumb_height * .1;
$thumb_height = round($thumb_height);
print(P Origional: height: $height width:
$widthBRTarget:
height:$thumb_height width: $thumb_widthP);
//build the thumbnail
$src_img = imagecreatefromjpeg($master_image_all);
$dst_img = imagecreate($thumb_width,$thumb_height);
//$dst_img =
imagecreatetruecolor($thumb_width,$thumb_height);//requires
gd 2.0
or higher
print(PVariables that will be inserted into the
imagecopyresized
function);
print(BRwidth: $width);
print(brheight $height);
print(brthumb_width $thumb_width);
print(brthumb_height $thumb_height);
print(PDisplay the new thumb imageP);
imagecopyresized($dst_img, $src_img, 0, 0, 0, 0,
$thumb_width,
$thumb_height, $width, $height);
//imagecopyresampled($dst_img, $src_img, 0, 0, 0, 0,
$thumb_width,
$thumb_height, $width, $height);//requires gd 2.0 or higher
//imagejpeg($dst_img, path and file name, 75);//saves
the image to
a file
imagejpeg($dst_img, '', 50);//sends the image to thebrowser
imagedestroy($src_img);
imagedestroy($dst_img);
}//end if
?
