PHP - Help With Small Project

So I am working on a project in which I am taking pictures from an SSH area, running ImageMagick on the picture to crop out what I want and then use the threshold to make it like I want, and then finally run Tesseract OCR on the final picture. I have a new picture coming in to the spot I am taking the pictures from every six seconds and I need the program to run the commands to do all of this every six seconds as the pictures come in forever basically. As of right now, here is my code that I have. I am relatively new to using PHP scripting working for the command line in Ubuntu. So if anyone could help me with some fixes to this code, I would be greatly appreciative.
Code: [Select]
<?php
function tesseract($image)
{
define($ocmd, `ssh *place i am taking from*`);
fwrite("<pre>$ocmd</pre>");
define("$pic1", "`convert $image -crop 1000x170+350+785 -negate -threshold 42000 $image.tif`");//This is a 1920x1080 hd image
define("$pic2", "`convert $image -crop 600x95+200+550 -negate -threshold 41000 $image.tif`");//This is a 1280x720 hd image
define("$pic3", "`convert $image -crop 650x100+75+550 -negate -threshold 43000 $image.tif`");//This is a 960x720 hd image
define("$pic4", "`convert $image -crop 500x62+175+410 -black-threshold 53% $image.tif`");//This is a 960x540 hd image
define("$cmd2", "`tesseract $image.tif $image.txt`");//command to take the words of the edited image
list($width, $height) = ImageCreateFromJPEG(filename);
define("$area", "($width*$height)");
if ($area == 1920*1080)
{
$line = $pic1;
}
elseif ($area == 1280*720)
{
$line = $pic2;
}
elseif ($area == 960*720)
{
$line = $pic3;
}
elseif ($area == 960*540)
{
$line = $pic4;
}
else
{
$line = "Please try a picture of another size.";
}
echo("<pre>$line</pre>");
if ($line != "Please try a picture of another size.")
{
echo"<pre>$cmd2</pre>";
}
}
?>

So I have decided to do research as my project and gain something from this. But also I will have to include programming which i prefer PHP. and will be testing these for my research. Does this sound like a good project and also If it is good sound.. Where do I start?...  need a starting point and then I could go on to doing it..

hi Guys..............i am final year student and i need to submit a project that should me medium to large size and i want to build it on PHP so it would be very kind if you can kindly suggest me topics for the same however there is just one restriction the process that i cannot build anything like management systems or social networking websites the idea should be new and catchy and ya one more thing no e-com websites as well.....................looking ahead for your advice..................thank you.

with my limited PHP programming skills I have managed to successfully a produce a css button maker which makes and produces the code for a number of resolutions and devices.

this is the $result displayed
Code: [Select]
$result = "<a href='#' class='blnk'><li class='btn rnd'>" .$_SESSION['text'] ."</li></a>";
($_SESSION['result']==$result);
this is how each device is called:
Code: [Select]

####   ANDROID   #######
if ($_SESSION['device']=="android")
{ echo "<div id='andt'></div><div id='andm'><div id='and-st'><div id='btn'>";
  $i=1;
  while($i<=$_SESSION['nbr']){
 echo  $result;
  $i++;
  }
echo "<div class='cl'></div></div></div></div><div id='andb'></div>";}

This is the dropdown for the bumber of buttons
Code: [Select]
<legend> Button No</legend>
<select name="nbr"><option value="<? echo $_SESSION['nbr'] ?>"><? echo $_SESSION['nbr'] ?></option><?php include('inc/f-1to8.php'); ?></select></fieldset></td>
Code: [Select]
<tr> 
<td colspan="3"><fieldset><legend>Button Text </legend><input name="text" type="text" value="<? echo $_SESSION['text'] ?>"  size="50" maxlength="16" /></fieldset></td>
What I need is to know howto not only produce a number of Button Text input boxes that correspond to Button No but ones that each correspond individual buttons so each button has its own text field.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated - Im suprised I have got as far as I have. here is the link at the mo http://www.d-sine.com/_STYLES/buttons.php - (the reset button will set default settings by going to a page that posts back default settings in hidden fields on a meta refresh)
Kind Regards

Hi all,

I am an intermediate PHP Programmer, but I'm now stuck with getting any further. I am currently developing a CMS with a few people. However, I wish to put that aside for a month or so and learn PHP a bit better.

Can anyone suggest a fairly "easy" project for me to do to learn a bit more about PHP?

Best Regards,
DM

I'm building a site for a uni project and i seem to be getting these errors back from it
this script allows the user to update their info once they have logged in so if you notice anything else i need please say

the errors i get a
Notice: Undefined index: firstname in C:\wamp\www\flerp\update_conn.php on line 14

Notice: Undefined index: lastname in C:\wamp\www\flerp\update_conn.php on line 15

Notice: Undefined index: email in C:\wamp\www\flerp\update_conn.php on line 16


<?php
$host="localhost";
$username="root";
$password=""; 
$db_name="flerpusers";
$tbl_name="users";


mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); 
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");


$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];





$sql = "UPDATE `$tbl_name` SET `firstname` = '$firstname',`lastname` = '$lastname',`email` = '$email'";

mysql_query($sql) or die ("Error: ".mysql_error());

echo "Database updated. <a href='editinfo.php'>Return to edit info</a>";

?>

There is only one thing I want to know.  How to I fill out a text box, click submit and make that information go to a msql database? 

This is very simple but I am very new to php.  This is all I want to learn.  Also showing the value on a table after I submitted would be great.

Thanks and I hope someone can help.   

Hey,
I did a coding course for an OOP called Jade, we got taught to plan the layout of the code using UML diagrams and sequence diagrams. I checked Visio but doesn't seem to support PHP at a glance.

What i would like to know is there any kind of way to plan a PHP project using techniques like UML etc. Plus what kind of planning do you do before jumping head first into coding unless your into that

If you know of any useful sites or software for ways to plan a PHP project please post.

Thanks a lot
