I have some pictures and i cannot find the way how to show them. I know the
name and location of the picture (d:\pictures\picture1.jpg, picture2.jpg,
...) I want to show just one picture which name i send through web form. Can
somebody help me?
Are they on the web server, i/e under the web root? If so, just show them
as you would ANY picture in HTML.
$picture = '/path/to/picture/picture1.jpg';
$width = 100;
$height = 50;
echo "<img src=\"$picture\" width=\"$width\" height=\"$height\"
border=\"0\" alt=\"My picture\">\n";
If they aren't then you will have to either move them to a folder under the
web root, or do one of two workarounds: copy them to a temp file under the
web root somewhere (which doesn't make much sense, because you will never
really know when that file should be deleted), or extract them via PHP with
a PHP script under your web root.
To extract them via a PHP page is a bit more difficult, but basically
involves something like this..
<img src="/path/showpic.php?picname=picture1.jpg">
And have the script look something like this:
----showpic.php----
header("Content-Disposition: filename=$picname");
header("Content-Type: $file_type");
header("Content-Length: $file_size");
readfile("/hard_drive_path/to/file/$picname");
-------------------
That's a rough sketch.
But again, the easiest way to do it is just move the picture files onto
somewhere on your web server and just access them like any picture, using
the <img> tag and having PHP fill in the file name.

American schoolchildren today are taking four times as many
psychiatric meds as all of the rest of the world combined.
PHP is a server-side language. Thus, it cannot do anything on the
client-side. The printer functions are for the printers connected to the
web server with PHP.

Hey Ziggi,
I asked this question a while back and the general consensus seemed to be
that there were no existing filters/modules to deal with Word/Excel
documents. Someone mentioned being able to open those programs on the
server side and doing stuff, but I don't think that would be of much use in
this situation. I was hoping to do the same thing -- I wanted to be able
to have people post meeting minutes in Word format but have them be
converted so as to be available to all via HTML.
Still no solution for me yet, sorry!

Hi Ziggi, hi Mike,
... you could use COM to open the file on the server and then 'save as'
as html (word and excel can do this). Retrieve the html file and put
it back to the browser.
Sorry, no code snipplets, I haven't worked with COM, yet, but I think
this should work.
Any other - or opposite - opinion ?
Greetinx,
Mike

This might sound a little strange but I'd like to query a Filmeker
database using
Php. I read in the Filemaker manual that ODBC drivers let us be able to
query the
database using basic SQL calls. Meanwhile, I tried to perform the task
but it
seems quite complicated to acheive... As anyone done this before ? If
so, some
tips would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Christ.

You do not have access to that information when running in CGI mode. It's a
bitch, but your options are limited:
1. if you're only running one domain with PHP, set the document_root
variable in php.ini
2. define(DOCUMENT_ROOT, "d:\inetpub\wwwroot\domain1") in each page, or an
include
3. the work-around that we use is to set a system environment variable that
can then be
accessed by the line: $HTTP_ENV_VARS["DOMAIN_DOCUMENT_ROOT"]. Our
solution can
be construed as dangerous because it theoretically allows any PHP site
on the box to
gain access to another doc root. However, since we have locked down
each site's
anonymous user to only have read/write permissions on their own wwwroot
(and exec
permissions on PHP.exe), they are unable to do anything with that
information.

Subject: HTTP_SERVER_VARS["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] on IIS Windows 2000
Hi,
I've been trying to find information on this, and none of them directly tell
me what I am missing.
I have IIS on Windows 2000 Professional. I have installed PHP as a CGI
module via the installshield (phpinfo() runs ok, so the installation appears
ok).
I look at the list of server variables, and $DOCUMENT_ROOT is not listed.
I don't think this is the same as doc-root in the php.ini.
Can somebody advise as to what I am doing wrong?
I am trying not to install the ISAPI DLLs.
Thank you for your time.
--Stephen
James,
Thank you. This is precisely what I wanted to know and how to get around
this.
The define() idea is pretty ingenious. =)
Thanks,
Stephen

I hope you didn't have anything *too* important to say Christian... That
spamming earned an email filter REAL quick. Cheers!
