Similar TutorialsHey! Normally I'm very good with researching my problems, but I just can't think of what to search for, what I am wanting to do is design a script that sends a command to a batch file that is already open and running (or something to that effect), does anyone know how this would be possible, all help would be appreciated! Thank you for your time Regards GreenFanta Hi Guys, how to execute batch file in wamp server php code. Could you please help on that.
I am trying to create a simple batch upload to "attach" to client's sites so they can use that in order to send me photos. I have been searching for a script and don't see one. I did find this, but it has no FORM to use: Code: [Select] <?php set_time_limit(0); $dir = "/path/to/the/uploaded/pictures/"; // trailing slash $moveto = "/path/to/where/they/should/be/copied/"; // trailing slash $files = glob($dir . "*.jp{e,}g"); // list of files, sorted by name $i = 1; // numbering foreach ($files as $filename) { $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename); if (!$image) continue; // load $w = imagesx($image); $h = imagesy($image); // width, height $neww = 140; $newh = $h * $neww / $w; // resized $thumb = imagecreatetruecolor($neww, $newh); imagecopyresampled($thumb, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $neww, $newh, $w, $h); // create thumbnail imagejpeg($image, $moveto . $i . ".jpg"); // copy original imagejpeg($thumb, $moveto . $i . "_th.jpg"); // copy thumbnail // optional: echo "copied ", basename($filename), " (orig: $w, $h) to $i (thumb: $neww, $newh)<br>\n"; $i++; imagedestroy($image); imagedestroy($thumb); } ?> ??? Would I just need to add a TEXTAREA to it, and then people can drag-and-drop .JPGs into it and it will automatically upload the files? I am not certain. I would have thought there would be a free script for this, since it's so common. I'm using a php $_POST variable as the name of a file that I want to create. fopen() , according to my understanding open the file if it exists or creates it if it doesn't. $Ref = $_POST['Ref']; I using each reference element of $Ref as the name of a file in a certain directory. So if $Ref[$i] exists as a file name in a certain directory, append to the file, if it doesn't create the file in that directory and write to it. Do I use the file path of the file within fopen()? fopen(./References/$Ref,a) or fopen(./References/$Ref,w)? Hi all I'm trying to create an XML file to be used within Excel.

Can someone who has worked with the DOMDocument steer me in the right direction? sample code is the best request Thanks! Hi all, Newb here with a few months of PHP experience. I'm working on a project where if a web user signs up for a 30-day trial, they need to be notified near the end of that trial--let's say 25 days--that the trial is expiring. So I need some kind of batch process that runs in the background, perhaps every night at 1am, that looks at the signup date for all trial users and compares that date to the current date. If the difference is 5 days, then that user should be sent an email. Does anyone know how to set up a nightly batch process that like this? I'm not concerned so much with the date comparison as I am with getting a daily process to run in the background. Coldfusion has something called a Scheduled Task, but being new to PHP, I don't know what would be comparable. Any help welcome! Thanks... I need to rename several hundred mp3's in a directory. I've tried this php script...but it seems to have missed every file from 19 to 29 (119-129, 219-229, 319-329 etc). The original names are in no particular order or fashion in how they're named. What's my best choice to rename these files to song1.mp3, song2.mp3 song3.mp3 etc.?

The way I want it, is that when a comment is posted, it grabs the id of the post it's referring to, then creates a file called comment(POST ID HERE).txt.. I have that down, however I cannot for the life of me figure out how I can make it an increment, so it can make no more than 500, but everytime a comment is posted it will keep making the files go up like: comment1.txt comment2.txt comment3.txt Etc...

One page in my project sends out batch emails to all users who are registered. That part is simlple enough, but in order to do it, my page has to connect to a remote SMTP server and then submit all the recipients and messages. This process can take a little bit of time, usually 5 seconds or so. If the user hits the stop button or navigates away while my script is still executing, will it mess up the emails that are being sent? If so, what other way should I restructure my script to make it more robust? The first thing that comes to my mind is adding them to some sort of queue in the database and then have a separate script that checks periodically for messages that need to be sent and then send them. The only way to do this, though, would be to make a script designed to be called by cron, and that somewhat complicated the installation of my script which I'd like to avoid. So I'm a little confused and hoping someone can help me understand. I have a form that I use to upload a file, html with browse button, etc. The php file creates a directory based on the a value (lastname) from the form, so the folder files creates a directory named the value lastname. My problem is that I can't get the upload function to put the file in the newly created directory. So here is the upload script. $foldername = $_POST['lastname']; // Desired folder structure $structure = 'files/'.$foldername.''; // To create the nested structure, the $recursive parameter // to mkdir() must be specified. if (!mkdir($structure, 0777, true)) { die('Failed to create folders...'); } $target = "files/"; $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['userfile']['name']) ; if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $target)) { echo "<center>The file ". basename( $_FILES['userfile']['name']). " has been uploaded.</center>"; } else { echo "No File was uploaded"; } So when I edited the target, it just changed the filename . What should I change in the code above to upload the file to the new directory? Thanks again, Sanchez Hi, Just looking how to create a link to download a file located on the server, it will be files like .doc etc. Cant seem to find anything on the net so i think i need php but may be html. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks p.s. it will be used for more than one file so im looking for a small ish amount of code. I am trying to create a very basic "forum"/comments section and I want to know how to have a page be automatically created once the form is submitted. I have found the code: Code: [Select] <?php function wwwcopy($link,$file) { $fp = @fopen($link,"r"); while(!feof($fp)) { $cont.= fread($fp,1024); } fclose($fp); $fp2 = @fopen($file,"w"); fwrite($fp2,$cont); fclose($fp2); } //Example on using this function //wwwcopy("http://www.domain.com/list.php?member=sample", "sample.html"); //Another example //wwwcopy("http://www.domain.com/list.php?member=sample2", "sample2.html"); ?> I am using post for my forum (not even sure how get would handle the comments section). How can I use this (or tweak it)? The variables I am passing are $User, $Email, $Title, $Comments, $Date. Would I still use it the same? ie: wwwcopy("http://www.domain.com/forum/new-post.php?User=$User&Email=$Email&Title=$Title&Comments=$Comments&Date=$Date", "X.php");? Also, the value for X is up in the air. I've considered using the auto increment id(index) number from the mySQL database this is saved in. I want to save an image with a unique name that is created from a hash function. How can I cretae the path with the variable... Code: [Select] $hash=$_GET['hash']; $path ="/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/test_upload/images/imagename2.png"; //becomes $path ="/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/test_upload/images/'.$hash.'.png";? Hi, I want to create a .html file dynamically on the server. Below is the code for that but i was not able to create the file. I have given all the read, write and execute permission on the folder. $filerand = rand(); $fileName = "test.html"; $filepath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "\\testfolder\\" . $fileName . ".html"; echo $filepath; $bodytxt = "Welcome to my webpage"; $ourFileHandle = fopen($filepath, 'w') or die("can't open file"); fwrite($ourFileHandle, $bodytxt); fclose($ourFileHandle); Thanks in advance Hi there, its possible to something like this. <?php $i=0; $MW_Services ="aaaa.php"; $fh_MW_Services = fopen($MW_Services, 'w') or die("can't open file"); $string_MW_Services = "<html><head> </script><span style='padding-left:5px'> MW Services </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td>Teste</td> <td BACKGROUND='images/da.JPG'></td> <td></td> <td><?php for($i;$i>2;$i++){print $i;} ?> </td> </tr> </table> </body>"; fwrite($fh_MW_Services, $string_MW_Services); fclose($fh_MW_Services); ?> my problem is that the code doesnt do the cicle for it only.
