Hey Tedd, not sure I needed underwear info but it got me thinking,
we could start using it as a metric for hacking experience ... my guess
my guess is I measure about third of a pair of Tedd's Y-fronts, 1/3TYF ;-)
I'm assume they have to be Y-Fronts if they're that old, lol.
@Stut: good points about freelancing, it's also worth noting that a freelancer
charging 'top dollar' will probably not end up costing anymore than someone
charging half as much because they generally get the job done in half the time
and,
as Stut pointed out, they're liable to deliver stuff that you can rely on rather
than have to pray it works.

I only took a few psychology courses in university so my ability to help
you is limited. But I guess it's better than nothing... even if my focus
was on the rather generous portion of girls in those classes compared to
the stingy numbers experience in my comp sci courses :B

Is there a particular reason you are downgrading?
I'm pretty happy with some of the features in 5.3, but have been asked
to work with a codebase that turned out to have some issues under 5.3
that didn't show up under 5.2.x. I'd love to have the time to dig and
give feedback on the issues for the improvement and quicker release of
5.3, but unfortunately work has to be a higher priority. :(
I hack on a Mac, and when Leopard first came out (I have no experience
on Mac prior to Leopard) even compiling php was nigh on impossible ... It took
me three days to get something compiling, problems were due to borked libs
like libxml IIRC ... I'm no expert on compiler/links environment variables and
things of
that ilk. But theses days compiling and reinstalling php works fine
(at least on my Leopard install), seems all the crufty lib problems have been
fixed with updates.
the first thing I did was remove/disable the standard apache & php installs
e.g. move /usr/bin/php
to something like /usr/bin/php-mac and disable the Personal Webserver (or
whatever the frak its
called). you'll also need to install XCode (1.3Gigs) for some libs and use
something
like macports to install some other libs ... depending on your requirements.
I must admit that the number one reason I rolled my own php is because I need
the
firebird/interbase extension and that's never supplied as standard.
give us some more details on what you system setup is and exactly what your
trying to do. 'downgrading' is too vague.
in the mean time here is what my custom php configure line looks like, it might
provide some inspiration:
'./configure' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--sysconfdir=/private/etc' '--prefix=/usr/local/php5' '--mandir=/usr/share/man'

Hi Michael,

Heh, actually that wasn't the problem after all. Well php still yells @
me about it, but it does work. In fact someone on this list helped me
before, sorry if I can't remember your name who it was :).
it's always worthing looking that kind of thing up, people love to see their
name in lights you know.
on a technical note, it sounds like your script is relying on register_globals
being turned on ... this is a bad thing, most notably when your not properly
up to speed on the security issues this can bite you in the ass, also
register_globals has been depreciated.
code that handles form submissions should be doing something like the
following to check for and validate input:
$selectedStated = isset($_POST['selected_state'])
? intval($_POST['selected_state'])
: null
;
I encourage you to read up on input validation, etc ... phpsec.org is
a good place to start IIRC.
But it
wasn't writing to the DB and I discovered I had to change the
permissions (it was a backup I had restored) and restart mysql. But you
have a lot of useful information in your list, so I'll be keeping it.

Thanks in advance,
Tim
you are loading extensions of an older PHP version. Do an ls -als on
/usr/local/lib/php. you will find a directory with a higher date. That's
your new extension path. Just change the location in the php.ini to
reflect the new location.
I'd second that, I'd also say that you might consider compiling the
extensions in statically and save the hassle of having to load the .so files,
if you still don't get anywhere.

Well at http://www.php.net/manual/en/session.examples.php there's a big fat
Note at the top of the page which includes the following: "The keys in the
$_SESSION associative array are subject to the same limitations as regular
variable names in PHP, i.e. they cannot start with a number and must start with
a letter or underscore.".

One word suffices here: register_globals! Or, if that doesn't suffice: if
register_globals is turned on, all the $_SESSION entries are automatically
registered as global variables -- so any numeric indexes will obviously be
invalid and will "disappear". For consistency's sake, PHP enforces the
restriction even with register_globals off.
Cheers!

Hi,
I need to generate an online proof for vinyl lettering. Customers specify
the text, font, colour, maximum frame size (mm) (ie the width and height it
must fit into), and whether or not they want to keep aspect ratio (ie not
distort the lettering).
I want to represent all this on a single image. So it would display a border
with their width and height on, and inside this would be the text in the
appropriate colour and font – if they decide to keep aspect ratio the text
would not be distorted. If they do not, it would be. The image would always
be 300px wide by 150px high (these would need to be constants that I could
change from time to time).
I’ve got a very basic proof working using a GD wrapper, but I don’t think GD
is powerful enough to do it all, nor do I recon my programming skills are up
for it. Has anybody got any advice on how to tackle this, even if it is just
bits of the problem??
Thanks,
Alex Chamberlain

I don't think GD has a built-in function to scale an image the way you
are asking, and to do it on a pixel by pixel basis from within a
function is going to be a very time consuming and memory costly process.
Have you thought about using ImageMagik to do this? I know that you can
exec() out to this from within Windows and Linux, and ImageMagik is free
to use (as far as I'm aware) so it could be just what you need.

Hi,
it's the first time I use sqlite in PHP script.
All read requests work perfectly but I don't get on execute write

catch (PDOException $e) { echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage(); }
var_dump($dbh);
$firstname = "foobarbbar";
$lastname = "barbarbar";
try {
$sql = "INSERT INTO contact (firstname, lastname)
VALUES('".addslashes($firstname)."', '".addslashes($lastname)."')";
$result = $dbh->exec($sql);
var_dump($result);
} catch(PDOExecption $e) {
print "Error!: " . $e->getMessage() . "</br>";
}
?>
$ ls ../ -lha
...
-rw-rw-rw- 1 stephane stephane 237K 2008-08-19 21:09 example1.sqlite
...
When I launch this script INSERT request don't work, nothing is inserted in
contact table.
var_dump($result) return : bool(false)
Have you already see this issue ? What is my mistake ?

I found my mistake :
$ chmod ugo+rwX ../
It was the directory that had bad authorization.

Hi KLEIN, I think the problem is where you are connecting to your
database. I've not used SQL lite before, but the function spec says that
you have too many arguments. It suggests connecting like this:
if ($db = new SQLiteDatabase('filename'))
Also, do you need to specify the sqlite: protocol before the path? Does
the system even know what this path is? One further note; you are using
a relative path, but is it relative to the right location? Does it have
to be relative to the system runtime or the PHP file? Try an absolute
path to see if that fixes it.
