Hello Michelle-
a) Only enable one GD dll, so use php_gd2.dll.
b) Consider using imagecreatetruecolor() instead but
either will work.
c) When asking support questions, it's important to
say exactly what version, although in this case
we know it's 4.3.0-1 as php_gd.dll was removed in
PHP 4.3.2
Anyway, enable just one dll and it should work. Be sure
to restart the web server afterwards.
Regards,
Philip

2) <TABLE><TD><TR>(newline)
ThirdVariable</TR></TD></TABLE>...
I tried this code:
1) preg_match("/<HTML><TITLE>(\S+) - (\S+)</TITLE></HTML>/", $html_page,
$variables);
2) preg_match("/<TABLE><TD><TR>\n(\S+)</TR></TD></TABLE>/", $html_page,
$variables);
The first 2 variables are matched into the $variables array but not the
third one. Sometimes when the third one is matched, it starts from where I
want it to start but takes all the text to the end of the HTML document!
Your "newline" may be \r\n or \r instead of just \n.

If on un*x you can use the 'file' program. Also search on freshmeat.net, I
believe there is a php-based program which gives info on the common media
type files.

Uploaded files should automatically be purged when script ends. What are you
trying to do?

Hi.
I've a script to download a file. The script adds the 1st byte 0x0A to the
downloaded file no matter what I do:
if ($file = fopen($path, 'rb')) {
while(!feof($file) and (connection_status()==0)) {
print(fread($file, 1024*8));
flush();
}
}
Even, when I comment out the loop, my file contains this single byte 0x0A.
Please Help!

of SQL queries, stored procedures and database design required. Must
have experience in HTML/CSS and familiarity with HTTP and networking
concepts. Graphic design and user-interface skills are desired.
Experience with CVS and Linux/Unix shell environments a plus.
The successful candidate will have at least 1 year of development
experience, and the motivation and desire to learn new technologies.
Must be able to analyze business requirements and specifications,
develop, enhance, test and troubleshoot applications independently and
with a team. May own responsibility for entire projects. Will also be

If you're using a windows platform, an easy way out is using ODBC.
Besides that there are a few classes out there, but I've not found any
that were good enough, or they were commercial.

I have written this function to rewrite the contents of a text file
after it's been updated. I store lines of data in an array and then
implode them into one string. The problem is that I'm getting an extra
line break (in other words a blank line is showing up in my text file)
after I modify a particular line. I checked the imploded string with
var_dump and don't see any line breaks besides the ones that separate
each line. Anyone have any ideas as to why I'm getting an extra line
break? The function is below with the code that calls it below that.

Never mind everyone, I figured it out. In this line:
$data_line = implode($separator, $data_array)."\n";
I was adding a newline when I didn't need too.

I want to know if anyone knows about a good mailing list manager that has

I've found many PHP scripts for sending newsletters and announcementes, but

I want a system like Mailman, Sympa or Majordomo (the mailing list server
may be programmed in Perl or whatever), but it must provide a PHP frontend
for administration, subscription, etc
You may want to try this class for creating lists with the ezmlm mailing
list manager. It has support for creating and editing the lists
properties and even has a SOAP interface for accessing the subscriptions
from remote machines.
http://www.phpclasses.org/ezmlmmanager
It would be great if messages are stored in a database like MySQL and it
must be free software
Does this exist??
ezmlm has MySQL bindings for managing the subscription records. The
messages are stored in disk files though.

This is for a very inefficient skin script I'm writing; the CMS I am using
is based in PHP but generates static files, so in order to change skins I am
opening the page in question and loading it into $url. From there I do an
ereg and take out what I need. The script itself can be found:
http://equiller.com/skins/skin.txt
And an example of it in use:
http://equiller.com/skins/skin.php?url=http://equiller.com/markviii.htm&skin
=tan
What I need to do to complete this is to format my navigation depending on
the skin being used. The navigation files are staticly generated as nav.htm
in each area. Now, an easy way would just take:
< div id=nav001><a href=#>navigation peice</a></div>
< div id=nav002><a href=#>navigation peice</a></div>
< div id=nav003><a href=#>navigation peice</a></div>
< div id=nav004><a href=#>navigation peice</a></div>
Then take each peice out, put some code around it and transform it into:
<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=2 border=1>
<tr>
<td id=nav001><a href=#>navigation peice</a></td></tr>
<tr>
<td id=nav002><a href=#>navigation peice</a></td></tr>
<tr>
<td id=nav003><a href=#>navigation peice</a></td></tr>
<tr>
<td id=nav004><a href=#>navigation peice</a></td></tr>
</table>
Is this possible? Is there any easier, less server-intensive way to do what
I am attempting? Thanks for anyone's help!

The following is my output in the command prompt window(DOS Prompt?)
C:\PHP>hello.php
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.2
!#C:\php\;
echo"Hello World!";
if ($foo):
echo "yep\n";
elseif ($bar):
echo "almost\n";
else:
echo "nope\n";
endif;
phpinfo();
C:\PHP>
And the following is the PHP code to generate it.
!#C:\php\;
echo"Hello World!";
if ($foo):
echo "yep\n";
elseif ($bar):
echo "almost\n";
else:
echo "nope\n";
endif;
phpinfo();
Now, I know that the variables are not set, so they should be false, but the
output just displays a "listing" of the code and doesn't process it. In the
documentation, it states that PHP can be run from the command prompt, like a
batch file. Now what am I doing wrong.
I do have it working correctly with an Apache server, that I am using
backend.
and my install dir is "C:\php", and it is listed first in the path.

I'm wondering if there is a way to have your php development files in
another directory other than htdocs when using apache. Similar to the
virtual directories IIS uses.
I have a dedicated hard drive for all of my development files seperate from
the drive apache is on. I do work in Cold Fusion and ASP as well as PHP and
would like to keep everything on one drive.

I am reading PHP and MySQL web development 2nd edition book. Chapter 6 talks about
displaying dynamic web content using class objects. For the type of project that I am
building, this is not optimal. How do I keep my self from having html mixed with my
PHP code? In other words how do I serperate the two. I need to concentrate on
writing good code and not designing a nice looking website. (someone else is going to
do that)
Can I assign include() statements to a variable ? How would you guys accomplish this?
Thanks so much in advance,
Daniel
