I would like to sort file names with file extensions numerically. It's not sorting correctly right now, and I think it is because of the file extensions.

So far I have:

code:

<?php

$dir=opendir(".");
$files=array();
while (($file=readdir($dir)) !== false){
	if ($file != "." and $file != ".." and $file != "allBlocks.php"){
		array_push($files, $file);
	}
}
closedir($dir);
rsort($files);
foreach ($files as $file)
echo "<img src=".$file.">";

?>

You probably want to do a Natural Sort.

Yes! This is awesome. Exactly what I wanted. Now, I'm trying to make it go in reverse order like before, and I can do it but I don't know if it's the best way because it seems to be working very slow, but then again it could just be my internet connection.

code:

<?php

$dir=opendir(".");
$files=array();
while (($file=readdir($dir)) !== false){
	if ($file != "." and $file != ".." and $file != "allBlocks.php"){
		array_push($files, $file);
	}
}
closedir($dir);
natsort($files);
foreach (array_reverse($files) as $file)
echo "<img src=".$file.">";

?>

It's slow because you're reversing the array each time you loop.

Yeah I see that, but even if I put the array_reverse($files) after natsort, it won't permanently do anything because its not resorting the array. Also putting rsort after the natsort will do away with the natsort.

It doesn't seem too bad now, and maybe it was just my connection, but is there a better way I should do this?

I was using php code to check if a sent $_GET didn't come from outside of my website. Now I want to do the same thing with $_POST, and I expected the code to work for it, but it doesn't do anything inside the if statement if a $_POST occurred. I tested to make sure this was the case by echoing the sent $_POST outside of the if statement, which works.

Here's the code I used to validate a $_GET:

code:

<?php
if (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']), 'mywebsite.com') !== false){
echo $_POST["sentVar"];
}
?>

I figured out the HTTP_REFERER issue. I don't know if this was obvious to any of you, but when you use $_POST as opposed to $_GET, you actually have to specify the ENTIRE address, not just the file name even if it is in the same directory to be able to send the HTTP_REFERER information and get it back with $_POST. Of course the information for the $_POST will return, but not the HTTP_REFERER.

I'll try this out too. I'm just trying to debug something. For some reason when I when I have the header there SOMETIMES my information that goes to another part of the site doesn't actually go there, and I was just wondering if it was because of something in the header that wasn't giving the site enough time to get the information it needed or something.

I'm using imagepng to create PNGs out of code into a certain directory. That all works fine, but why on the page where i use imagepng it spits out weird characters and how do I get rid of them?

To see what I mean, just draw some nonsensical thing on the page, type in the CAPTCHA and then the page where it says it was successful shows that mess.

Just to let you know, depending what people have made, might be considered :nws:

not work safe. But they are just pixelated small images.

edit:

I don't know if there's any alternate way of using it, but here's the line of code: imagepng($thumb, "blocks/".$numOfFiles.".png");

If I get rid of that, it takes away the characters.

Apropos of nothing, please, don't do that. Fan out your directories, don't put everydamnthing in one directory. readdir() calls will start beating the hell out of your performance. A better way would be, let's say $numOfFiles is 38234234, write it to:

blocks/038/234/234.png

Storage, especially if/when you get to the point where you're using shark/netapp/isilon/whatever, is going to plotz if it has to stat() across a directory of 10000+ files. Try to keep it around 1-2k, you're golden, and really, it can scale forever.

(Ex: 3823423482340238423.png translates to 003/823/423/482/340/238/423.png), and you're looking at, max, around 2k entries per directory, which about any OS or storage system should be able to handle

File size versus FS sector size being left as a discussion for later, as is the extended cost of walking up that whole directory tree.

Thanks. Yes, it will eventually go to different directories. I never thought of the way you suggested, so thank you.

Isn't that scaling way further into the trillions of possible files?

This is a mixed php/Actionscript 2/MySQL question. PHP is echoing back a variable queried from MySQL just fine, called $imageSourcesString. When gets the variable with loadVariables, it returns empty in Flash. If I redefine $imageSourcesString in php as $imageSourcesString="test"; its sent to Flash just fine.

Why can the original variable echo in php, but not be sent to Flash? I've tried adding quotes, characters around the original, etc. Say if I redefine it as $imageSourcesString="A".$imageSourcesString."A"; in Flash it shows up as "AA". I can see that $imageSourcesString echos in php perfectly alright as the image names. What the hell? Is $imageSourcesString not a proper string for Flash or something coming from MySQL?

Lumpy posted:

It needs to be a URLecoded string... your problem seems odd though. Are you trying to output the string $myVar=A[$myvar's value]A as a result?

[EDIT] looks like you *can* use an "$" as the first char of a variable name in AS2, but I'm guessing the URLencoding is hosing it up still.

Using echo $imageSourcesString in php shows result.

In Flash, it shows nothing.

Doing this however after its defined: (I'm redefining the variable)

$imageSourcesString="test text";

Shows this in Flash:

test text

Say if my variable $imageSourcesString equaled "123456789" as a result from the database. If I redefine it as:

$imageSourcesString="A".$imageSourcesString."A";

In php it shows "A123456789A"

In Flash it shows "AA"

I was starting to think it had to do with register_globals being enabled. I'm currently using php 4 and after trying to change it to off, GoDaddy notified me I won't be able to do this unless I'm using php 5, which doesn't seem right. I swear I changed that setting before in php 4 on another server. Maybe its just the way GoDaddy does things. This is really blowing my mind though and I'm starting to think it has to do with some weird thing occurring with register_globals.

I finally figured out what was causing the problem, but I don't know WHY it happens. I had a variable defined with a get:

$catNum=$_GET['catNum'];

If I simply make that variable a number and not the get my other variable from the database gets sent to Flash. Why??

$catNum=3;

Edit: Basically, if I have that variable $catNum defined with the get $_GET['catNum'], $imageSourcesString does not pass to Flash! If I make $catNum equal say, "3", everything works. But I NEED the get for $catNum.

Looks like Flash is not supplying the "catNum" parameter in its GET query string for some reason, try running wireshark to see exactly what's going over the wire.

But why would it need to? Flash is NOT getting the variable $catNum. It's getting $imageSourcesString.

I'd try WireShark, but I don't think there's a non-Intel Mac version.

I guess the question I should be asking is: How do you pass a variable with GET from one page to another (or even the same page) and have Flash load that variable in? I'm just passing it with the same page, but I've also tried passing it to another page. PHP gets it. Flash does not. If I just make a non-POST or non-GET variable it passes to Flash fine.

If you think this normally should be done, try it out, because I'm starting to think it can't be done..

Edit: Its as if Flash is being loaded before the POST or GET vars.

Lumpy posted:

I'm confused now.

Are you loading a page: blah.php?var=value And you want the flash that is embedded on the page to know that var = value?

Or you are using flash to send a request to a script after your page loads, and the return from the script is var=value and flash is unable to pick that up?

Works like this:

I click on a URL that goes back to itself with a variable attached like so:
http://pageurl.com/index.php?catNum=9

So when the page reloads, php sees that catNum is set, then does a mySQL query based on the catNum to form a variable to send to Flash - a list of images with a delimiter that Flash breaks down. The variable is called $imageSourcesString and is put into a hidden text field that Flash picks up with loadVariables.

For some reason this isn't working BUT if I ignore the GET on the page reload and just set $catNum to a number everything else works fine. i.e. $catNum=12 instead of $catNum=$_GET["catNum"]

Interestingly enough its not getting stuck until the Flash stage of things. PHP can still pick up the results of the image string based on the GET.

I've been trying so many things.

I also tried making javascript function that fills in a div with the Flash code after a timed interval but it behaves exactly the same.

Have you tried a small proof of concept completely separate from the code you've been working with? If all you need is for flash to receive the value of a php variable you can mock up this situation in very few lines of code. This should help isolate the problem. My guess is there's a problem with your code that you're overlooking because you have been debugging for too long. Step back, relax, and write a simple proof of concept. This will help you see if it works on that server/browser at all or if it's a specific problem with your code.

Yes. And I can get a php variable into Flash. Its the GET variable in a mysql query is what causes things to get hung up. If I define the variable without the GET, it does not happen. I can echo back the correct results of the php query, the Flash just does not get anything from the result of the query.

Read above for details.

mysql_select_db("dataXXXXXX") or die(mysql_error());

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pictures WHERE catNum='$catNum' ORDER BY picOrder") or die(mysql_error());  

$filenames = array();

// Add the results to the arrays 
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
	array_push($filenames, "pictures/".$row['filename']);
} 


//create a string from the array with a pipe delimiter 
$imageSourcesString=implode("|",$filenames);

//echo "<td align='center' valign='middle' width='402'>".$imageSourcesString."</td>";

$descriptionString=0;

$pauseTime=200;
$fadeRate=8;

//$imageSourcesString="$imageSourcesString";

echo "<INPUT type = 'hidden' name = 'Page' value='&imageSourcesString=$imageSourcesString&pauseTime=$pauseTime&fadeRate=$fadeRate&sdd=$sdd'>";

echo $imageSourcesString;

How is the Flash supposed to get the stuff you generate to the hidden field? Magic? Why not tack on your vars to the end of the URL to the movie?

Flash can get the stuff on the hidden field perfectly fine except when the initial variable from GET that SQL uses for a query is used. If I just simply defined the variable instead of using the value of GET everything would be fine. I'd explain how this works all over again but I've explained this in at least 3 other replies so far.

Your replies are confusing at best. "Flash can get stuff out of hidden fields" doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Flash actionscript can use loadVariables("currentpageURL.php", this, "POST"); to get POST variables from the current page that it is on. You can make the value of hidden fields like so to make a POST variable like so:

php:

<?

$variableSentToFlash="hello there";

I've been using preg_match to only accept certain characters, but now I want to use it to accept certain characters AND spaces, but NOT leading spaces, and NOT more than one space in a row. Will that involve more than just preg_match?

I've tried the following to just plain old accept spaces, but it doesn't work! On another forum they showed something similar:

preg_match('%^[A-Za-z0-9_- ]+$%', $_POST["user"])

KuruMonkey posted:

Question: do you really want to 'not accept' leading spaces and multiple spaces? Or just not have them in the final accepted string?

If the second:
php:
<?
$input = ' whatever  it is';
$input = ltrim($input, ' ');
$input = str_replace('  ', ' ', $input);
preg_match($your_current_pattern, $input);
?>
edit: might want a while loop in there to wittle many spaces down to 1? or a preg_replace to do the same?

edit 2: looking at your example it looks like you're going to look up a user name with this...
in that case; coerce the input like above for creating the username, and just allow spaces however when inputting a login that is checked against existing names. In that case you sanitise the input so its safe to use,and just let the fact that you can't create names with multiple or leading spaces mean that you cannot login to one anyway... (you have to handle the 'invalid username' case anyway, why add another for 'impossible username'?

Lastly, to check for wrong spacing only, use:
php:
<?
$coerced = ltrim(str_replace('  ', ' ', $input), ' ');
if(strcmp($input, $coerced) != 0)
{
// oops
}
?>

This is some great information for fixing up the spaces. Only problem is that I haven't had preg_match work correctly at accepting spaces. It works other wise.

php:

<?
if(preg_match('%^[A-Za-z0-9_- ]+$%', $_POST["user"])){

}else{
//return false
}
?>

Notice the space after the "-"

That if will return false with $_POST["user"] with or without spaces.

ImageCopyResized

Note the second argument. You're passing a string when it wants a resource, you'll want to use ImageCreateFromPNG() or equivilent to load the image you want to resize.

You certainly should have gotten warnings or errors with your code, is your error reporting off?

Where did you get the idea that constants somehow magically affect security?

Excellent! Changing it to this: define('source', imagecreatefrompng(filename)); worked! It's exactly the effect I need. No softness or blurring. I don't have error reporting off.. I don't know why it didn't give me errors. Everything is fine now though, thank you.

The script may be used in a form, and I just think it's good practice for data that isn't going to change throughout the script to use a constant. I don't have exact plans how I'm going to change this code, but I know the constants can remain constants without a problem. I read about the importance of using constants in a form as a security measure here: http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/php-security-ch02.pdf
