PHP - Open File From Web Browser (local Server) Directly Into Photoshop

I'm working with a lightbox plugin to show images when thumbnails are clicked on. The plugin works by wrapping the thumbnail in an anchor tag that has the href as the direct path to the full-size image. This acts as a non-js fallback, so that if JS isn't present for whatever reason, the user still sees the image. When JS is enabled, the image is shown in the lighbox, resized to fit in the lightbox, which is a variable size depending on the browser.   I need to keep a record of the number of times that the image has been clicked on, as thumbnails will be ordered by the number of views. The problem of course is that I'm directly linking to the image, so I can't put a script on this page.   I've tried two things instead, neither of which worked:   1) Instead setting the target as the path to the image, I set it to a PHP script, then outputted the image in an <img/> tag. The problem was that the image is then not resized according to the size of the lighbox. So this is no good. 2) I set the target of the lightbox as a PHP script which recorded the viewing of the image, and redirected to the image page. This didn't work either, as the lightbox showed the data for the image (text) instead of the image itself.   So, I've hit a bit of a barrier. I'm wondering if I can set something up in my PHP settings that will automatically call a script when hitting images, or maybe something in an .htaccess file that will do the same, but I'm not aware of if this can be done, nor how to do it, and I haven't found anything yet with my googling. Does anyone have any thoughts?   Thanks.

I just did a huge import from an app I have been working on. No issues except for this.

I uploaded & imported all files & databases from my wampserver (localhost, local server) to my main online server.

Before I continue with the problem, I have to give you info on how the files work.

I am using a "controller" to view the files. Meaning, from index.php, I call all the files. For example, instead of mysite.com/register.php, its mysite.com/index.php?page=register.

The index defines the doctype & html tags etc.

The other files that are called through index.php are just pure php code, it does not contain the head & body tags etc.

So, the issue is , when the surfer submits a form, i need to set a cookie. this cookie is VERY important.
I cannot get it to work. I am getting the header warnings after submit

Of course, this is to be expected. But I tried it on my local server, & it worked. I am not very familiar with cookies, this is a side of PHP i never really even touched. I know almost everything but that.  So the php code is before the html code on the page, so I figured it was worth a shot.
Im guessing the problem here is, since the code being outputted as index.php code + the form page code. So the cookie is being set after the html tags.

How can I fix this? I need it to work thru the controller. I cannot just make it a single file, all files on the site needs to be thru this controller, otherwise it will mess everything up.

Ino I could just add the code from index.php plus the form page code & just run the php code before all of the html tags, but like I said it has to be called thru index.php.

I appreciate your replies, & I hope you guys dont think im an idiot & can understand my question, im terrible with words!

Hi ppl

I have a weird error... (or at least i think its weird)

I have a project with 3 forms, and at the end(the last file) will enter all data of this form in an email and sent it using PEAR smtp email. On my local server it works. Everything - from testing all the mandatory fields in each form till the sending of the email. I also receive the email using @localhost.

When I upload these files to the server, every form with the testing of the mandatory fields and returning to that form, everything works, except the file where I test the last form and put all content in the email body.

On the server, as soon as the last  page starts to load, I get a Server Error HTTP Error 500. I really don't understand it, as everything works on my local xampp server.

Please let me know of places I can search for errors... like log files on the server or something like that.

Thanks

PS: I also used NetBeans, with its debugger, so I am quite sure its not the code, maybe a php setting...

Hey all, this is my first post ever and am not really sure if this is the right place for it or not, sorry in advance if it isn't. I'm new to PHP and trying to learn. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Firefox 3.6.22. I have libapache2-mod-php5 installed and running, but for some reason everytime I try to open a local .php file in firefox the download manager pops up and ask me what I want to do with the file. Has anyone else encountered this before? Is it something simple that I overlooked? Any help would be appreciated.

Hey!

I'm trying to use a local server to test my site out. I'm using dreamweaver for all the coding. I installed WAMP server and have the local host working. When I preview the site, it really is messed up. For example, if I have this code:

Code: [Select]
<?
/**
 * Main.php
 *
 * This is an example of the main page of a website. Here
 * users will be able to login. However, like on most sites
 * the login form doesn't just have to be on the main page,
 * but re-appear on subsequent pages, depending on whether
 * the user has logged in or not.

 * a link to the admin center if the user is an administrator.

if($session->logged_in){
   echo "<h1>Logged In</h1>";
   echo "Welcome <b>$session->username</b>, you are logged in. <br><br>"
       ."[<a href=\"userinfo.php?user=$session->username\">My Account</a>] &nbsp;&nbsp;"
       ."[<a href=\"useredit.php\">Edit Account</a>] &nbsp;&nbsp;";
   if($session->isAdmin()){
      echo "[<a href=\"admin/admin.php\">Admin Center</a>] &nbsp;&nbsp;";
   }
   echo "[<a href=\"process.php\">Logout</a>]";
}
else{
?>

<h3>Login</h3>
<?

}
?>
<form action="process.php" method="POST">

</form>

<?
}

/**

echo "</td></tr><tr><td align=\"center\"><br><br>";
echo "<b>Member Total:</b> ".$database->getNumMembers()."<br>";
echo "There are $database->num_active_users registered members and ";
echo "$database->num_active_guests guests viewing the site.<br><br>";

include("include/view_active.php");

?>

I get this:

" ."[username\">My Account]   " ."[Edit Account]   "; if($session->isAdmin()){ echo "[Admin Center]   "; } echo "[Logout]"; } else{ ?>

value("remember") != ""){ echo "checked"; } ?>> Remember me next time     

[Forgot Password?]

Not registered? Sign-Up!


"; echo "Member Total: ".$database->getNumMembers()."
"; echo "There are $database->num_active_users registered members and "; echo "$database->num_active_guests guests viewing the site.

"; include("include/view_active.php"); ?>
To me, it seems like a " problem but I don't see why it would be happening.

im wondering is there any easy way to echo server time and local time... without converting them from unix to timestamp

i have found thi code, but i cant tell is it server or local
Code: [Select]
echo date("H:i" ,time());

I'm working on a light use/kiosk system. I have apache2 and php5 installed on Ubuntu 10.04 and I have the browser open the localhost web page by default. I would like to include a link on this page to open oowriter (open office writer) for the end user on the machine.

I've tried

Code: [Select]
exec('oowriter');
with no luck. I've also tried setting the DISPLAY value before the command like

Code: [Select]
exec('DISPLAY=:0 oowriter');
with no success. I don't mind have the www-data user in the sudoers file if I have to sudo the command or something, but is this possible to do?? I'm not having any luck at all!

Hi all,

 i want to download a file from the server but instead of storing it in the downloads i want it to store it directly in the folder i want and i also dont want to show any download window that appears while we download any file. Friend please help.....

Hey guys!
I have the following script to create an excel file, the thing is that I dont want to be asked if I want to open or save the file when accessing the php file...I just want the php file directly to save the excel file.

Heres the code:


$filename = "test.xls";
$contents = "testdata1 \ntestdata2 \ntestdata3 \n";
header('Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$filename);
echo $contents;


Is there a way instead of using the header function, use something like: fopen, fwrite, fclose ?

Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

I have been working on a blog program with a tag system. When I add tags and ask to display them to a certain webpage they all appear on my WAMP environment but not my live server. Any thoughts as to why this might be? Here is the code needed to display the tags. I am not sure if maybe live servers have restrictions that might be stopping it from displaying.    This is on the main page to display the tags.

				<div class="widget">
		<?php
				
				echo '<h2>Tags</h2>';
				echo '<ul>';
				getTagCount($DBH);
				echo '</ul>';
		?>
			</div>

Next here is the function from the includes file.

function getTagCount($DBH) {
    
    //Make the connection and grab all the tag's TAG TABLE HAS TWO FIELDS id and name
            $stmt = $DBH->query("SELECT * FROM tags");
            $stmt->execute();
            $result = array();
            $result = $stmt->fetchAll();
            //For each row pulled do the following
            foreach ($result as $row){
                //set the tagId and tagName to the id and name fields from the tags table
                $tagId = $row['id'];
                $tagName = ucfirst($row['name']);
                
                //Next grab the list of used tags BLOG_POST_TAGS TABLE HAS TWO FILEDS blog_post_id and tag_id
                $stmt2 = $DBH->query("SELECT count(*) FROM blog_post_tags WHERE tag_id = " . $tagId);
                $stmt2->execute();
                $tagCount = $stmt2->fetchColumn();
                
                //Print the following list 
                echo '<li><a href="blog_tags.php?tagId=' . $tagId . '"title="' . $tagName . '">' . $tagName . '(' . $tagCount . ')</a></li></form>';
                
            //End of loop - start again
            }
            
}

The "tags" database is structured like so  id, name   The "blog_post_tags" is structured like so,   blog_post_id, tag_id       On the WAMP server it returns all of tags while the live server only returns the first one. Any suggestions on what is going on? If you need any other info please let me know.     

Hi, ive recently created a gallery website and im happy with the way everything currently works. However the main drawback is the site uploads using a html webfom which is great for remote users or the odd image.

However, as i want to mass upload my existing collection i will need the ability to read a selected folder and then to carry out all the same processes that existed from the existing html form upload.

Im also using gdlibrary and checking file types to ensure they are within my allowed list, but im wondering if there are any other common security alerts i should be aware of to keep things a little bit safer if/when i publish outside of my LAN.

So in a nut shell i need some assistance with changing my upload process to work for more than one file at a time, ideally by reading a folder, or at least reading X amount of files at a time - processing them then moving onto next batch of files in the list.  Then the next part i need help with is checking/improving basic security of the system

Hello, I have a call tu function unserialize() in a script that receives a string and has to return an array. In my localhost it works properly but in the server it returns a 1 dimension array with empty value. I'm testing with the string a:1:{s:1:"0";s:8:"value_eq";}

The php.ini configuration for magic_quotes is (in both, server and localhost):

magic_quotes_gpc Off
magic_quotes_runtime Off

Other configurations is difficult to compare, as php info is long and very different in local and server.

Any ideas where the problem might be?

Thank you

Hi all,

Hi,

I have a mail script to that will take a long time to process, let me call it form2.php

Now I post from form1.php to form2.php.

I like to run/execute the form2.php in the background so that the user will not wait for the time executing the form2.php.

I have used exec and shell_exec but not success.

I am using latest WAMP server in my local mechine.

Thanks
