I have the following code that takes an existing image, creates a new one from it and writes some white text on top of that image: <?php header("Content-type: image/png"); $startingImage = "leftphoto_01.png"; $image = imageCreateFromPNG($startingImage); //$white = imageColorAt($image, 30, 215); $white = imageColorAllocate($image, 255, 255, 255); imageTTFText($image, 24, 0, 10, 25, $white, "arialbd.ttf", "This is a test"); imagePNG($image); imagedestroy($image); ?> Problem is, the "white" text isn't white -- it's a dingy gray color. >From reading around, I thought maybe if I took an existing white pixel in the image and used that to set white, that might help (hence the commented out //$white = imageColorAt... line in my code above) That didn't help either. (and the pixel I sampled is exactly the shade of white I want) I am almost completely unfamiliar with color pallettes and how to manipulate them. Can someone shed some light on how I can get some clean, bright white text on my image? Thanks. --kurt
Not an answer I'm afraid but does PHP has the ability to do this with JPEGs? Would be VERY useful to me if it does! - seb -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Lieber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 July 2001 23:27 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Image color quality problems I have the following code that takes an existing image, creates a new one from it and writes some white text on top of that image: <?php header("Content-type: image/png"); $startingImage = "leftphoto_01.png"; $image = imageCreateFromPNG($startingImage); //$white = imageColorAt($image, 30, 215); $white = imageColorAllocate($image, 255, 255, 255); imageTTFText($image, 24, 0, 10, 25, $white, "arialbd.ttf", "This is a test"); imagePNG($image); imagedestroy($image); ?> Problem is, the "white" text isn't white -- it's a dingy gray color. >From reading around, I thought maybe if I took an existing white pixel in the image and used that to set white, that might help (hence the commented out //$white = imageColorAt... line in my code above) That didn't help either.

Yes, it does, through the use of the GD and freetype libraries.

Thanks Kurt. Unfortunately my server only has gd 1.6.2 (gd 1.8.3 required aparantly) and I can't change that.

Check out the PHP dl() function: http://www.php.net/dl It lets you load an extension at run-time, so if you can compile the newer version of GD, you may be able to download that directly. Only thing I'm not sure about is if you can override an already-loaded extension by downloading a newer version of the same extension. Maybe if you simply named it something different -- gd-1.8.3.so, for example. Can anyone confirm whether this would work or not? > -----Original Message----- > From: Seb Frost [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2001 4:30 PM > To: Kurt Lieber; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [PHP] Image color quality problems > > > Thanks Kurt.

Hello Everyone, A client of mine is working with excel, and I need to move the data from excel to something php can deal with a little better. Naturally, I figured using .csv would be easiest, but I am running into several problems. I can get around them, but I need a regular expression (and I am NOT good at writing those). I'm not quite sure how I should explain what the regular expression ought to do, so I am giving an example of the data ought to look like in php (after the regular expressions), and how it looks in the .csv. NOTE: I am exploding the data, so all ,'s must be changed into COMMA's. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- | php | .csv | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- heyaCOMMA there,hey is for horses "heya, there",hey is for horses "byeCOMMA bye",ciaoCOMMA ciao """bye, bye""", "ciao, ciao" "good morning,I'm Bob Villa """good morning", I'm Bob Villa sleep is good,IceCOMMA ThingyCOMMA sleep is good,"Ice, Thingy," If those four examples aren't enough, please let me know. I am NOT on the php mailing list, so PLEASE send messages to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED] AND to [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Thank you very much (in advance), Jeff

No, but some years ago there was a well known person, who have written many statistical programs in PHP/FI. Can't remember his name, but I look for his name at my library. He is now the chief editor of the Multivariate Analysis Journal. -Egon -- All known books about PHP and related books: http://php.net/books.php Concert Band of the University of Hohenheim: http://www.concert-band.de/ First and second bestselling book in German: http://www.php-buch.de/
Hello, I'm using phplib to add functionality to my bibliography app. However I'm not sure how to deal with selected data from different tables with the same field name. The example I provided in the signature was: $this->db->Record["WLPcountry.name"] Which needs to be differentiated from: $this->db->Record["WLPpublisher.name"] Ive added the table name (WLPpublisher & WLPcountry) as a prefix assuming that this will carry over. Seems to wrok in some instances but not others. Any suggestions would be useful... The table is as follows: SELECT WLPbib.bibID, WLPbib.title, WLPbib.publicationDate, WLPbib.URL, WLPpublisher.name, WLPaddress.city, WLPaddress.state, WLPaddress.countryID, WLPcountry.name, WLPprofile.firstName, WLPprofile.middleName, WLPprofile.lastName, WLPprofile.organization FROM WLPbib LEFT JOIN WLPpublisher USING(publisherID), WLPaddress LEFT JOIN WLPcountry USING(countryID), WLPprofile LEFT JOIN WLPbib2profile USING(profileID) WHERE WLPpublisher.addressID = WLPaddress.addressID AND WLPbib2profile.bibID = WLPbib.bibID I'm making progress on this app. Thanks to the assistance of a lot of good folks.

Dear Power Jessie (I just had to write that..): This is a bit to the side of your question, but if you are asking this question because you are trying to do what every web developer is trying to do today, namely, reach that holy grail of separating layout from content, you might look at binarycloud, found at http://www.binarycloud.com/. We looked at the dozen of YATS now a-building, nearly rolled our own (like you must be doing?), but finally settled on binarycloud for its other many elegant features. In any case, you can see in binarycloud how you can wrap up groups of PHP files within multiple layout templates and then the final generated HTML in a "master" template with the CSS et cetera. _jef --------------------- power jessie wrote: > > Hi! > > Anyone using this? > Can someone point me to a link on > how to use this class. > > Thanks in advance! > > ~{{}}~ > jessie > .o0O()O0o. > > -- > j e s s i e @ p o w e r - j e s s i e . n e t > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Justin Farnsworth Eye Integrated Communications 321 South Evans - Suite 203 Greenville, NC 27858 | Tel: (252) 353-0722

Hello! I want to send a PDF-file as a mail. The problem: I want, that the user get's the PDF-document as soon as he clicks on the mail. That means: No text-part of the mail, the user should not have to click on the attachment-button of his mail-client. I tried: 1.) Set the header to something like: $header = "From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n"; $header .= "Content-Type: application/pdf\n"; $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n"; $header .= "Content-Desciption: My PDF-Doc"; Works in: StarOffice Doesn't work in Netscape and M$-Outlook 2.) Use a multipart-message: Works in: StarOffice Doesn't work in Netscape and M$-Outlook Any idea, how this is done? Martin
