PHP - Help With Imagettftext Function
Hello i have some code which is suppose to create a simple captcha image...the code was working fine until it was moved from one location to another...now what it does is the image is created...but for some reason, it's not displaying the text.
Here is my code : Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); $image = imagecreate(100, 50); $background = imagecolorallocatealpha($image, 204, 204, 204, 127); $text = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0); imagettftext($image, 20, 0, 30, 30, $text, 'Gabriola.ttf', $_SESSION['captcha']); $lines = 20; for($i = 0; $i <= $lines; $i++){ $x1 = rand(1, 100); $y1 = rand(1, 100); $x2 = rand(1, 100); $y2 = rand(1, 100); imageline($image, $x1, $y1, $x2, $y2, $text); } header('content-type: image/jpeg'); imagejpeg($image); ?> this code does create the gray box and displays the 20 lines but no text. when i echo out the $_SESSION['captcha'] on the page it displays the number generated (generated in another file)....i've even replaced that with a string and it doesn't work...the interesting thing about it is that it works on local machine but not on a hosted page...what could possibly cause this?...all the files were changed so the .ttf file is also within the same file as this page Similar TutorialsHi, I have a small code to display some data from mysql db as .png image, however the image loads but it doesn't show any data on it. php: <? $username=""; $password=""; $database=""; $host=""; $player_name=$_GET['player_name']; mysql_connect($host,$username,$password); @mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database.

I need to draw various font sizes onto a canvas to create a web service. Wanting to protect my HD assets, the intent is to use PHP to populate the image with the necessary text, and then scale down the image before presenting it to the user. <?php $img = imagecreatetruecolor(750, 530); $black = imagecolorallocate($img, 0, 0, 0); $gray = imagecolorallocate($img, 125, 125, 125); $white = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 255, 255); $font = realpath('../fonts/micross.ttf'); $size = 12; $spacing = 20; for ($x = 0; $x <= 25; $x++) { $box = imageftbbox($size + $x/10, 0, $font, "The longer the phase the more apparent the size difference should be"); $boxWidth = $box[2] - $box[0]; imagefilledrectangle($img, 5, $x*$spacing+5, $boxWidth+5, ($x+1)*$spacing+5, $gray); imagefttext($img, $size + $x/10, 0, 5, $spacing*($x+1), $white, $font, "The longer the phase the more apparent the size difference should be Font Size ".($size+($x/10))); } imagejpeg($img); imagedestroy($img); ?> You can see how despite the font size steadily increasing by 0.1, it sporadically jumps at what seem at first like random intervals, however if you increase the number of loops and log the data, you can see that it alternates between increasing every 0.7, and 0.8.

Hi, I am creating an image with a random number to use as a capcha. I've done the image creation before and had it working but now I have a font path error. However......I know my font path is the same...I didn't change it and it was working perfectly. What I changed was I made the image creation piece of code into a function...so I could return a value and use the function as a capcha....can you not use this image creation stuff in a function? The difficulty is getting hold of the random number to verify someone typed it correctly. If you have any ideas I'm open to other methods. My code is: function capcha(){ $capchatxt = rand(10000,99999); $font = '/includes/balloon.ttf'; $textarray = imagettfbbox(30, 0, $font, $capchatxt); $width = $textarray[2]-$textarray[0]; $height = $textarray[3]-$textarray[7]; $image = imagecreate($width+10,$height+10); $background = imagecolorallocate ($image, 255,227,232); $colour = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 154, 239); // blue; $pink = imagecolorallocate($image, 239, 0, 144); // crimson pink; $peach = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 227, 232); // pale pink; // Add the text imagettftext($image, 30, 0, 5, $height+5, $pink, $font, $capchatxt); header('Content-type: image/png'); imagepng($image); imagedestroy($image); return $capchatxt; } At the moment: The function and the font file are in the same folder. The file which is calling the function is in a different folder. BTW - Forgot to mention that right now I'm using localhost (xampp)...not a real server. Thanks for the help. IceKat Hello all, I have some piece of code that is nested like this $variable = 'This is a global argument'; function parentFunction($variable) { function childFunction() { echo 'Argument of the parent function is '.$GLOBALS['variable']; } childFunction(); } parentFunction(5); What I want to know is - Is there a way to access a variable from the parent function without passing arguments to the child function? (Something like how classes have parent::?). I don't want to use $GLOBALS because it might cause some variable collision, and I didn't want to pass arguments because incase I decide to change the arguments in the parent function I'd have to do it in the child function aswell. From my searching around in the Internet it seems like this is not possible, but if theres a slight chance that there might be something out there, i'm willing to give it a shot . Thanks in advance Question 1) Is the only and proper way to call a parent function "parent::function()"? Are there other/better ways from within a child function? Question 2) What are the deciding factors for when to make a function or attribute static? How do you make that decision? Assuming 5.3... Thanks. I have this function completely written in my class file that I am working on. The point to this function is to be able to check the login of a user or administrator for either of the control panels associated with my site. It will check the session intime as well as the page / module referenced. Once it passes all those checks, it will check and ensure the emailaddress/password stored in the current session still holds true and the account is still active... if the account is still active it will update the lastActivity as well as update all of the session variables with what is currently in the database. What I am looking for is basically a look at the function, see if it looks good.. If there is any part to it that could create security holes for the site just off the login function itself...

I need to call usort from a class function, and I'm puzzled about how to define the comparison function. I've tried to define the comparison function in the same class, but I can't get usort to call it. I found one hint that it will work if I make the comparison function static, but I tried that, and it didn't work for me. If I define the comparison function outside the class, it won't have access to object properties that it needs to operate. The only solution I can think of is to define the comparison function outside the class and put the object properties it needs in globals. Is there a cleaner way to do this? When I put this chunk of code into it's own function: function fetch_all ($dbc, $query) { include ('knuffix_list_func.php'); pagination_start ($dbc, $query); $offset = $pag_array[0]; $rows_per_page = $pag_array[1]; $query = $query . " LIMIT $offset, $rows_per_page"; echo "test query: " . $query; knuffix_list ($query, $dbc); pagination_end ($pag_array); } And when I echo out the query as you can see in the example, then I notice that the variables $offset and $rows_per_page never get appended. I set the variable $pag_array to a global inside the function pagination_start(). It usually works when I DON'T wrap a function around this chunk of code, but if I do wrap a function around everything then the global suddenly won't work anymore. Btw, this also won't work if I wrap a function around the function DECLARATIONS. Any ideas, how I could make it work? I want to define a function instead of repeating query in all my php pages. I call a function by passing an $id value and from that function i have to get all the info related to that id, like name, description and uom.
I am trying to do this, but i dont know how to get these values seperately.
here is my function
function items($item_id) { $details = array(); $result = mysql_query("select item_id, name, uom, description from items where item_id=".$item_id."") or die (mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $details[] = array((stripslashes($row['name'])), (stripslashes($row['uom'])), (stripslashes($row['description']))); } return $details; }and i call my function like this $info = items($id);Can somebody guide me in this Hi all, I want to call a javascript function from a php function like this: public function Buscar() { $HoraInicio = $_POST['edtHoraInicio']; $HoraFin = $_POST['edtHoraFin']; $FechaInicio = $_POST['edtFec1']; $FechaFin = $_POST['edtFec2']; $FechaMax = $FechaFin." ".$HoraFin.":00"; $FechaMin = $FechaInicio." ".$HoraInicio.":00"; $_GET["FechaMax"] = $FechaMax; $_GET["FechaMin"] = $FechaMin; echo $FechaMin; echo "<script language=javascript>alert('Hi.')</script>"; } but the function Buscar never show the alert but shows the $FechaMin I hopu u guys can help me out with this probem Thanks, Siddhartha I've followed the PHP Freaks pagination tutorial which you can find here. And I also got it to work, the only problem is that the script won't work when I use the query outside of the function. Here's the function: <?php function knuffix_list ($query, $dbc) { // find out how many rows are in the table: $query_row = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM con"; $query_run = mysqli_query ($dbc, $query_row); $row = mysqli_fetch_row($query_run); $num_rows = $row[0]; // number of rows to show per page $rows_per_page = 5; // find total pages -> ceil for rounding up $total_pages = ceil($num_rows / $rows_per_page); // get the current page or set a default if (isset($_GET['current_page']) && is_numeric($_GET['current_page'])) { // make it an INT if it isn't $current_page = (int) $_GET['current_page']; } else { // default page number $current_page = 1; } // if current page is greater than total pages then set current page to last page if ($current_page > $total_pages) { $current_page = $total_pages; } // if current page is less than first page then set current page to first page if ($current_page < 1) { $current_page = 1; } // the offset of the list, based on current page $offset = (($current_page - 1) * $rows_per_page); echo "test " . $query; // SCRIPT ONLY WORKS IF I INSERT QUERY HERE $query = "SELECT * FROM con, user WHERE con.user_id = user.user_id ORDER BY contributed_date DESC LIMIT $offset, $rows_per_page"; $data = mysqli_query ($dbc, $query) or die (mysqli_error ($dbc)); // Loop through the array of data while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array ($data)) { global $array; // Variables for the table $con_id = $row['con_id']; $likes_count = $row['likes']; $dislikes_count = $row['dislikes']; $dbuser_name = $row['nickname']; $dbuser_avatar = $row['avatar']; $user_id = $row['user_id']; // The TABLE echo "<table padding='0' margin='0' class='knuffixTable'>"; echo "<tr><td width='65px' height='64px' class='avatar_bg' rowspan='2' colpan='2'><img src='avatar/$dbuser_avatar' alt='avatar' /></td>"; echo "<td class='knuffix_username'><strong><a href='profile.php?user=$dbuser_name' title='Profile of $dbuser_name'>" . $dbuser_name .

I put the test echo above the query to see how the query looks like when I induce the query from the outside through the function parenthesis into the function, and this is what I get printed out: test SELECT * FROM con, user WHERE con.user_id = user.user_id ORDER BY contributed_date DESC LIMIT , Obviously the $offset and the $rows_per_page variables are not set, when I induce the query from the outside into the function. So in that sense my question is: How can I induce the query from the outside into the function SO THAT the $offset and the $rows_per_page variables are set as well and NOT empty? p.s. I need the query outside of the function because I'm using a sort by category functionality. im using a function which connects to a db called 'comments' and then inside that function i again called another function that will connect to the db 'main' to get avatars.... but as i put Code: [Select] mysql_select_db("main") or die(mysql_error()); on the new function, the original function stops to fetch rows. i tried to remove "mysql_select_db("main") or die(mysql_error());" and used the new function to return some text only and it worked, so i guess the connection to the db was the problem... i tried doing Code: [Select] mysql_query("SELECT * FROM main.avatar INNER JOIN main.list ON main.avatar.title=main.list.id WHERE main.avatar.page_id='$id'"); but it also didnt work Hi I have a table class and functions I want to call in another function but can't get it working. Some help will be very welcome. It seesm that the new table class is not working in this function if I pass the values to it, I have tested the class, it does get the post values I post to it so $_POST['id'] are being received as well as all the other $_POST's but the table class and find function is not working, it works fine if I don't put it in a function.. function edit() { if (isset($error)){ $error.="Please fix the error(s) above";} else { if ($_POST['id'] <> "") { $update =& new table($db, 'publisher'); $update->find($_POST['id']); $update->name = $_POST['name']; $update->url = $_POST['url']; $update->contact = $_POST['contact']; $update->address = $_POST['address']; $update->phone = $_POST['phone']; $update->email = $_POST['email']; $update->save(); $error = "The Publisher has been edited"; } } } |
