PHP - User Stream

I am trying to display an image stream from my pond cam... The stream generated by my ip video server is a jpeg stream without boundaries. Causeur of this the normal mime replace isn't working. I need php to read a picture from the stream, and display the picture in the browser while reading the next picture in the background.

I've got to the point that I am able to connect to the stream, read the first image, and display it in the browser as can be seen in the link below
(cam is only on from 09:00 until 16:00)

http://cam.xsiteit.nl/readstream_test.php

From this point I need to read the second image and replace the image in the browser with the new one.  This process has to continu until the browser is closed.

Any help would be great!

Regards, Peter

I have my IP camera with the streaming URL :   http://x.x.x.x:81/li...user=admin&pwd=   Now i want to record the streaming using PHP . Now please anyone help how to do this ? Any help would be appreciated .

Hi! I am having trouble reading a stream of data being sent to my PC via PHP5. It seems that my code stops when it gets to the read section and just sits there indefinately. I am somewhat new to PHP so a solution and explanation would be great!

Code: [Select]
<?php
$host = "129.000.00.01"; // host IP address
$port = 40000; // port to listen to

// sets script execution limit
set_time_limit(30); // 0 means unlimited execution time (constant running)

// create UDP socket
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP) 
or die("Could not create UDP socket!\n");

// reset socket for binding
if(!socket_set_option($socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1)) {
echo "Failed to reset socket!\n";
} 
else echo "Reset socket successfully!\n";

// bind socket
socket_bind($socket, $host, $port);

// connect
if (!socket_connect($socket, $host, $port)) {
echo "Failed to connect to port!\n";
}
else echo "Connected to port successfully!\n";

while (1) {
echo socket_read($socket, 1024, PHP_NORMAL_READ)."\n";
}

// close sockets
socket_close($socket);
echo "\nDone";

Here is my code, below. It is gathering the $url with the corret images. But poduces and error on line 50. Failed to open stream. No such file or directory.

By this line:     readfile($file_name);

What Am I missing, beyond strong programmer mind set.

Code: [Select]

$merch_map = "http://spot_map";
$dir = "/opt/digistrive/tmp/media/current";


class merch_imgs {
public function __construct() {
$this->merch_imgs1();
}
public function __call($method, $_) {
$count = str_replace('merch_imgs', '', $method);
echo "$count ";
$this->{"merch_imgs" . ++$count}();

}
}
class thousand_printer extends merch_imgs {
public function merch_imgs1000() {}
}



//03-2012. Location of merchant, if no image use place holder
$thumbnails = implode(',', range(1, 10000));
$ext = ".png";
for($thumbnails = 0; $thumbnails < 10000; $thumbnails++) {
$url = $merch_map.'/'.$thumbnails.''.$ext;   

echo $url . '<br>';
    //echo '<img src='.$url.' border=0/>';
   downloader($url, $dir);
}



function downloader($url){
    $file_name = basename($url);
    $generated_files = geturl($url, $url);
    //file_put_contents($file_name);
file_put_contents($url, $url = var_export($file_name,true));
$size=strlen($generated_files);
if($size==0){exit(0);("<b>Error:</b>not found!");}
//header('Content-type: application/force-download');
    //header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $file_name);
    //header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
    //header('Expires: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT');
    //header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
    //header('Pragma: public');
    //header('Content-Length: ' . $size);
    readfile($file_name);
    unlink($file_name);
}

function geturl($url, $referer) {
    $headers[] = 'Accept: image/png';
    $headers[] = 'Connection: Keep-Alive';
    $headers[] = 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8';
    $user_agent = 'ONLY_MY_HOST';
//$useragent = $url;
    $process = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $user_agent);
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_REFERER, $referer);
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
    $return = curl_exec($process);
    curl_close($process);
    return $return;
}

if($url && $user_agent){

die();
}

I can search for videos by keyword and can fetch videos list from youtube using its api in php. I can fetch video title, description, thumbnail etc. but how can i fetch video url not like this -> youtube.com/watch?id=xyz...     Example: ytpak[dot]com

I am trying to install a wordpress plugin called CiviCRM.  I am using the GoDaddy wordpress dashboard to do this.  I am getting this error (which is just the first error in a list of several that are appearing):

Warning: require(/home/NAME/public_html/wordpress.SITE.com/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/vendor/composer/../symfony/polyfill-ctype/bootstrap.php): failed to open stream: 

No such file or directory in /home/NAME/public_html/wordpress.SITE.com/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/vendor/composer/autoload_real.php on line 70

I am looking at the code in file "autoload_real.php"  and line 70 reads:

require $file;

nowhere else in this file is $file defined.  the directory "/home/NAME/public_html/wordpress.SITE.com/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/vendor/composer/" DOES exist, but the rest of the line "../symfony/polyfill-ctype/bootstrap.php" does not.  there are also 3 other errors in eclipse that are indicated and all of those errors are "syntax error: unexpected 'Autoload()'.  The 3 different lines of code that throw this error a

1) self::$loader = $loader = new \Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader();
2) call_user_func(\Composer\Autoload\ComposerStaticInitdb2000479593e65ef23454e56d74a73f::getInitializer($loader));
3) $includeFiles = Composer\Autoload\ComposerStaticInitdb2000479593e65ef23454e56d74a73f::$files;

I'm not really sure what the issue is, as I'm not experienced enough.  Any help from the experts here?  GoDaddy claims the problem is with the plugin file's coding.

Evening Everyone, Been working on this problem for a couple of days and I am stumped.  I have a single php file to handle download and streaming of files.  It works great with music files, I can download and stream to an <audio> html 5 element just fine.  When it comes to my movies, I can download fine but it fails on streaming to a <video> html 5 element.  I have done some logging and it looks like after a very short time it just quits.   log when streaming music:

/path/to/music/124 - Mouth Techno -1.mp3
size: 1508731
ctype: audio/mpeg
range: 0-1508730/1508731
write chunk: 8192-1508731
write chunk: 16384-1508731
....
write chunk: 1507328-1508731
write chunk: 1515520-1508731
completed

log when streaming movie - this is the complete output, it just stops:

Log Started
/path/to/movies/AVP_REQUIEM_UNRATED.Title1.DVDRip.mp4
size: 889628920
ctype: video/mp4
range: 0-889628919/889628920
write chunk: 8192-889628920
write chunk: 16384-889628920
write chunk: 24576-889628920
write chunk: 32768-889628920
write chunk: 40960-889628920
write chunk: 49152-889628920
write chunk: 57344-889628920
write chunk: 65536-889628920

Here is how I am downloading and streaming the files.  Music files work just fine with <audio>, movie files I can only download but want to stream with <video>.  This is a hack from multiple sources on the net.

<?php

$file_path  = "$path"."$filename";

clearLog();
startLog();
writeLog("$file_path\n");

// allow a file to be streamed instead of sent as an attachment
$is_attachment = isset($_GET["play"]) ? false : true;

// make sure the file exists
if (is_file("$file_path")){
	$file_size  = filesize($file_path);
	$file = @fopen($file_path,"rb");

	writeLog("size: $file_size\n");
	
	if ($file){

     	}else{
                header('Content-Disposition: inline;');
 		}
 		
 		// set the mime type based on extension.

		$start = 0;
 
	 	header("Content-Length: $file_size");
		header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
		header("Content-Range: bytes $start-$end/$file_size");
		
		writeLog("range: $start-$end/$file_size\n");
		$a=0;
		
		while(!feof($file)) {
			$chunk = (1024*8);
			echo fread($file, $chunk);
			//ob_flush();

		exit;
	}
}else{
	// file does not exist
	header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
	exit;
}

I am trying to use the google maps to geocode a location but I get this error:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=New London,+Connecticut,+United States&sensor=false): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request

Code: [Select]
$location_request = "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address={$city},+{$real_state},+{$real_country}&sensor=false";
$geocode         = file_get_contents($location_request);

What am I doing wrong?  I tried URL encoding the location request but that also didn't work.

edited:  please note all wmv files are not more than 10 or 20 seconds long. also their size is no more than 500kb.


I have this following code that works for photos, but wish to alter this slightly so it will work for video files (wmv)

getFtpImage.php
Code: [Select]
<?
header('Content-Type: image/jpg');
$imgdir = '/home/mysite/ftpfolder';
readfile($imgdir . '/' . $_GET['file']);
?>


index.php
Code: [Select]
$imgdir = '/home/mysite/ftpfolder'; // the directory, where your images are stored
$allowed_types = array('png','jpg','jpeg','gif'); // list of filetypes you want to show
$dimg = opendir($imgdir);
while($imgfile = readdir($dimg)) {
if(in_array(strtolower(substr($imgfile,-3)),$allowed_types)) {
$a_img[] = $imgfile;
sort($a_img);
reset ($a_img);
}
}

$totimg = count($a_img); // total image number
for($x=0; $x < $totimg; $x++) {
$size = getimagesize($imgdir.'/'.$a_img[$x]);
// do whatever
$halfwidth = ceil($size[0]/2);
$halfheight = ceil($size[1]/2);
?><img src="getFtpImage.php?file=<? echo ($a_img[$x]); ?>" height="180"><?
// echo 'name: '.$a_img[$x].' width: '.$size[0].' height: '.$size[1].'<br />';
}

i have the images show to fill the screen and wish for the video page to do the same and with the videos you click the [play] in the center of the video image to play it like most videos play, not like the flash.

Hi all
Im using wordpress for my site with custom sidebar boxes.  The code is like this:

      <?php _e("",'index'); ?>
    </div>

What i want to do is add my fb into that.  so like so

Code: [Select]
  <h3>
      <?php _e("About Me", ''); ?>
    </h3>
    <div class="box">
      <?php _e("<div class="fb-activity" data-site="http://facebook.com/davidjmorin" data-width="300" data-height="300" data-header="true" data-recommendations="false"></div>",'index'); ?>
    </div>

But that throws errors

any help is much appreciated

I'm trying to copy an existing file using a php script, run on the command line.
I've tried copy() and also a script from the comments on copy() http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.copy.php#102320

No matter how I try to open the file I get " failed to open stream: No such file or directory".
I tried changing the name of the file, and the ext, and both.
The file does exist, and if I run cp old new, the file gets copied fine.

Current code
Code: [Select]
<?php
$source = '/www/documents/myfile.pdf';
$destination = '/www/documents/mypdf.pdf.bak';
copy($source, $destination);
?>

Warning: copy(/www/documents/myfile.pdf): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/cron/historic.php on line 3

Code: [Select]
~$ ls /www/hua/compucom113dev/client/documents/
myfile.pdf
~$ cp /www/documents/myfile.pdf /www/documents/myfile.pdf.bak
~$ ls /www/hua/compucom113dev/client/documents/
myfile.pdf
myfile.pdf.bak

I had chmod in the script at one point to make sure the directory had the permissions needed but it didn't make a difference so I removed it. I can add it back if someone can help explain what to set it to. I was doing 0777 then back to 0755 at the end.

Hi Guys!

I'm new here at PHPFreaks, I have this problem using simplexml_load_file function.

I am retrieving an XML from another sub-domain of my project, it's working fine on my local server (win xp, php 5.2.14) but when I try to execute it on our testing server (linux, php 5.2.14) it returns an error something like this..

Warning: simplexml_load_file([url of the script]) [function.simplexml-load-file]: failed to open stream: Connection timed out in [absolute path of the script] on line 3

i have tried cURL and file_get_contents, still get no luck.

please note that the XML is validated via w3c.org and works really fine on my local server..

Thanks in advanced!

Hello, this is my first post I hope you guys can help me out here, basically whats going on is I declare a variable "$diree" then I insert it in a function  but its not getting recognized, here is the code:

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'C:/xampp/htdocs/models/post.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\tumblelog\controller\posts.php on line 3

Fatal error: Call to undefined function find_post() in C:\xampp\htdocs\tumblelog\controller\posts.php on line 5

My entire file consists of...

<?php
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/models/post.php');
$post= find_post(5);
?>

suggestions?
