Other folks have given very good suggestions to produce resized photos,
but I wanted to chime in to mention there's a quick-and-dirty hack: set
the height and width attributes of the image to scale the iamge down.
They won't load any faster than full size and it'll be tempting to put a
lot of them on a page, making for a very slow page. But it's handy in a
pinch.

Here's a function to resize images -- you pass in the current width and
height and a new maximum width and maximum height, and it'll return an
array with the a new width and height that preserve the image's aspect
ratio.

function get_scaled_dimensions($width, $height, $max_width, $max_height) {
    if (width > height)
        $scale = $max_width / $width;
    else
        $scale = $max_height / $height;
    return array(floor($width * $scale), floor($height * $scale));
}

exec with convert is very powerful, but can have performance issues,
as firing up exec with a mini-shell can get kind of expensive.

Here is a thumbnail script I use:
http://uncommonground.com/thumbnail.phps

Here's the pathinfo.inc file referenced within that:
http://uncommonground.com/pathinfo.phps

It also adds a "credits" sidebar using the colors set by the site
owner in the database, so you can probably ignore that.

Pretty much every photo you see on http://uncommonground.com/ runs
through this script, and that gets about a half million hits a
month...

Except the calendar page, where I pre-generate the thumbnails by hand,
as there are so many, and because I want an extreme close-up rather
than just a shrunken blob.

If you're getting more traffic than that, you may want to consider
running a cron job to thumbnail them once -- I don't do that, as we
haven't quite reached the stage where we need that, but you might.

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] automaticly create a thumbnail

[Anacreo <an...@gm...>]

I wrote a command line php program a while ago that will convert photos, it
uses the convert command from the ImageMagick library that is usually
available on most hosting sites or can be installed/built manually on
Unix/Windows.

My program:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/snippet/download.php?type=3Dsnippet&id=3D1849

Imagemagick:
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php

My program is a basic wrapper and there are many ways of doing this type of
things (this program was used for PDF input so I was a bit more limited).

[chiPHPug-discuss] automaticly create a thumbnail

[Melanie M. <me...@po...>]

I create a custom "photo gallery" .  Currently my client upload a thumbnail
and the regular size image.  Now my client only wants to upload a regular
size image and have the "system" automaticly create a thumbnail.  

 

I have not idea how to do this, into the code I already have.  Do any of you
know how?

   

PS - still working on the .pdf creation.  Thanks to all who past me
information. 

 

Thanks,

Melanie 

 

 

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] PHP form name transliteration question

[Sarah G. <sa...@fa...>]

Thanks everyone. I hadn't known that about the transliteration and it 
makes perfect sense it's for register_globals.  The site in question had 
been written 4-5 years ago and lived on a server where register_globals 
was on by default, so not surprising the issue existed and *definitely* 
not surprising that we noticed the problem when we moved servers. Field 
names were auto-generated to encode information, and some had dots in 
them.  Anyway,  noted and changed.

Thanks.

Back in the good ol' days, when you didn't have a zillion spammers and
hackers sending in crap data to a web form, you'd just be using
$name_with_dots from register_globals.

Since PHP variable names did not allow '.' in them, the dots had to
turn into something else, and _ was chosen.

As a result of this history, the $_POST (and $_GET) keys also are
changed to match this.

This is even more apparent if you use INPUT TYPE="IMAGE" NAME="foo"
where you get foo_x and foo_y instead of foo.x and foo.y, which are
HTTP spec, so you can't do anything about that conversion.  At least
when one is choosing the names, one can just opt not to use '.'

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] PHP form name transliteration question

[<ja...@ho...>]

I don't know if .'s are valid in variable names.. ?.. I know its not
encouraged..

>From the manual:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.php

Basics

Variables in PHP are represented by a dollar sign followed by the name of
the variable. The variable name is case-sensitive.

Variable names follow the same rules as other labels in PHP. A valid
variable name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by any number
of letters, numbers, or underscores. As a regular expression, it would be
expressed thus: '[a-zA-Z_\x7f-\xff][a-zA-Z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*'

    Note: For our purposes here, a letter is a-z, A-Z, and the ASCII
characters from 127 through 255 (0x7f-0xff).

That's pretty much exactly what happens. Because of register_globals,
the keys have to be valid variable names. $name.with.dots is invalid,
but $name_with_dots is OK. This alteration was carried over into $_POST
and the others.

[chiPHPug-discuss] PHP form name transliteration question

[Sarah G. <sa...@fa...>]

Hello,

Does anyone know why it is that a form element named using dots is 
transliterated to a form element named using underscores when it is 
posted using PHP [4.4.4 and 4.3.2, at least]? It's as if php runs a 
pre-filter preg_replace on the names of input fields before outputting 
them to the $_POST array. 
Is this for a security reason? Are these illegal naming conventions for 
form names in general? Here's my example:

I'd never encountered this before, but a simple test shows that

<form action="#" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="name.with.dots">
<input type="submit">
</form>

turns into the below (when displayed using print_r) in the $_POST array:

Array
(
    [name_with_dots] => 
)


Any info appreciated.

Thanks,
Sarah

I've used http://php.net/pdf maybe a dozen times.

Here's a simple example:
http://uncommonground.com/engineers/cheatsheet.pdf
http://uncommonground.com/engineers/cheatsheet.phps
This one has no database variables, but you can probably work out that
bit easily enough already.
I find it a lot easier to think in "inches" and use "X * 72" all over
the place.

Here's one a bit more complicated:
http://uncommonground.com/events.pdf
http://uncommonground.com/events_pdf.phps
This pulls a rather complicated query from the database, inserts JPG
images, and dynamically chooses a font size between a range based on
the amount of space the text needs for each date on the calendar.
This one was done long before I figured out the * 72 trick...
(The globals.inc just defines the 'pagetop' and 'pagebot' functions
that are used in case of a total failure -- ignore it)

You probably need something in between these two in terms of complexity.

Well, its my fault actually. I usually work at home on wednesdays, and

mornings I need to be home for (but only for 6 more weeks)  ... so
this past time I came up to the city at 1pm and worked half day in the

Its not imperative that we move it... I can switch around so I can

PHP has an optional library that lets you work with pdfs: http://php.net/pdf
You could create a PDF template, open it, add the user's results, save
it, and send it.

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] create .pdf's online

[Janine S. <jr...@ba...>]

I don't know if there's a way to do it immediately, but you could open 
it in OpenOffice and save to pdf.

[chiPHPug-discuss] create .pdf's online

[Melanie M. <me...@po...>]

Anybody know how to create .pdf's online.  More details..

 

I have people taking a test, when they have completed the test, I need the
report to output as a .pdf.  The information that is to print out will be
coming from information that is stored in a database. 

 

Any suggestions?

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Meeting Change Day?

[Larry G. <lga...@gm...>]

Thursdays there are already two LUGs that I go to, so I couldn't make it.
3rd Thursday of February is the 15th, when I'm giving a Drupal talk for the
Depaul one.

Mondays I moderate a non-tech discussion channel in IRC.  I wouldn't be able
to make Mondays, probably ever.

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the only days that I reliably have free at
present.

Why exactly would we need to change?

[chiPHPug-discuss] Meeting Change Day?

[Richard L. <ce...@l-...>]

We may need to move the meeting day from THIRD WEDNESDAYS to THIRD
THURSDAYS.

Any major conflicts?...

PS
Our next month's topic is XDebug (Nola) and valgrind (Rich)

Some people have a "gift" link here.
Know what I want?
I want you to buy a CD from some starving artist.

I could follow up with an off-the-cuff presentation titled "If You
Aren't Using Firebug, You're Wasting Your Time". It's me rambling around
Firebug and showing off its jaw-dropping features for about 15 minutes.
I can't promise a polished talk, but if you don't already know about
Firebug I can promise you will come away significantly more productive.
