PHP - Creating Pdf With Php And Saving It On Server
Is it possible to do this? fpdf just opens a dialog box asking the user to save the pdf instead of saving it on the server.
Also, is it possible to create a pdf from the data in a mysql table with PHP? Thanks! Similar TutorialsHi everyone! I'm trying to create a form with an upload photo bit in it. The photo i know, has to be saved on the server somewhere. Iv'e created an images folder both in my host's control pannel and in my dreamwever files and FTP'd it to the server. I've tried both ways of sending the test .jpg to each folder but i'm getting the desgined mySQL error. What's going worng here? Code: [Select] <?php //This is the directory where images will be saved $target = "/images/COMPANIES"; $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']); //This gets all the other information from the form $company_name=$_POST['company_name']; $basicpackage_description=$_POST['basicpackage_description']; $location=$_POST['location']; $postcode=$_POST['postcode']; $upload=($_FILES['photo']['name']); // Connects to your Database mysql_connect("******host", "****username", "****password") or die(mysql_error()) ; mysql_select_db("****DB") or die(mysql_error()) ; //Writes the information to the database mysql_query("INSERT INTO `Companies` VALUES ('$company_name', '$basicpackage_description', '$location', '$postcode', '$upload')") ; //Writes the photo to the server if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target)) { //Tells you if its all ok echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory"; } else { //Gives and error if its not echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; } ?> Thanks Hello Guys, I want to extract the attachment from an email. I searched and I found the following link below and many similar ones useful. http://garrettstjohn.com/entry/extracting-attachments-from-emails-with-php/ I am able to get the name of the attachments too.. but.. what after getting the file names? .. How do i actually access the file and move it to a location to my server?.. that part is unclear to me.. Please share me your views on this.. or point me in some direction as to how to accomplish this task. Thank you, Rakesh. This topic has been moved to Miscellaneous. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=342211.0 I have written a piece of code that create a directories, files on the server using mkdir and touch and also inserts the form data into the table.. the code gets executed and the info gets stored in the database but the part which has the create directories. and files dont work as it doesnt create the directory and files on the server.. do i need to make changes to the php.ini file to enable the mkdir and touch feature to get enabled? as i said the code executes without any error.. I dont know wat to do.. please any help would be appreciated!! thanku Hi. I am trying to create a simple video file server. I finished the skeleton of it but when it came to creating the multitude of pages I realized that there could be an easier way to do it.
I started out basically getting the folder names in the server then printing them on the page.
<?php
$dirs = glob("*", GLOB_ONLYDIR);
echo '<ul>';
foreach($dirs as $dir)
{
$forbidden_folders = array("not4u", "ignore", Styles);
$filename = str_replace($forbidden_folders, '', $dir);
if (!empty($filename))
{
echo '<li><a href="'.$dir.'">'.$dir.'</a></li>';
}
}
echo '</ul>'
?>
Then I created in each of the folders with files a php file with this code:
<?php
function date_sort_desc($a, $b)
{
preg_match('/\w+ \d{4}/', $a, $matches_a);
preg_match('/\w+ \d{4}/', $b, $matches_b);
$timestamp_a = strtotime($matches_a[0]);
$timestamp_b = strtotime($matches_b[0]);
if ($timestamp_a == $timestamp_b) return 0;
return $timestamp_a < $timestamp_b;
}
$files = array();
$dir = opendir('.');
while(false != ($file = readdir($dir))) {
if(($file != ".") and ($file != "..") and ($file != "index.php")) {
$files[] = $file;
}
}
natsort($files);
$i = 0;
foreach($files as $file) {
$i++;
$string = str_replace("TV Show Name S1 E$i - ", '' , $file);
echo '<div><a href="../Discriptions/'.$file.'.php">'.basename($string, '.m4v').'</a></div><br>';
}
?>
This opens up a php file with the same file name as the file to be played containing the episode's thumbnail and description. That file then contains a link pointing back to the real file. The problem here is that I'd have to make a new php file for every file in my collection. I'm wondering if there's somehow a way to simplify all of this.
Edited by chrisyroid, 11 August 2014 - 12:13 AM. Hi, Well I have been working on Php for quite sometime but creating Word Docs is something I am totally new to. I googled about this and found different methods of creating word documents via php. The most promising one that I found involves writing HTML code and inside header, save it as a *.doc file (I know thats not exactly a Word File but what else can be done). Like this, Code: [Select] header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-word"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; Filename=Report.doc"); The whole word document came out perfectly fine, but there was one little problem (later on turned out to be the BIGGEST one) was placing images in the document. All the images were saved on a secure server so like we do in HTML, I used the following line of code, <img src="https://somewebaddress/users.png" /> The word document appeared to be fine for me, but when that document was sent to the client, client was unable to view the images. Now, I guess you all know what my question would be, and that is, is there a way we could somehow make this work. I even tried downloading all the images to disk and giving their path, still in the end, the document only needs to be sent to the client and images do not appear. Please help me in this regards, Thanks in advance to all P.S. Please see the following sample (mini) code of the real thing, real document is a bit toooooooo big and kind of confidential Code: [Select] <?php header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-word"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; Filename=Report.doc"); ?> <html> <head> <title>TCS Monthly Report $month $year</title> </head> <body> <b><h3> Monthly Operational User Statistics</h3></b> <br> The red line is users logged in over the month. The green area is users recently logged in (last few days).<br> <br><img src="https://somewebaddress/users.png" /> </body> </html> Hi, I have made a basic html site and it has two forms on it. I have the forms linking to a file called process.php. Basically i need to know what code to put in the php file in order for the forms to save whatever is entered in them to a txt file on my server or computer. Or any other easier way to do the same thing, save the content of two forms on my site. Hope i posted this in the right forum subject. Thanks very much for anyone that helps. I have a PHP web system that store in a windows server. In the system, there is a function for user to upload files to another server (Shared server in Unix). When i try to upload a file, it gives warning: Warning: move_uploaded_file(\\unixserver/sharedfolder/upload/test.txt) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\wamp\www\upload\index.php on line 40 For your information, my username has been assigned in xxx's group that has access to read and write on that folder. Besides, i'm able to open,create and delete files on that folder's server manually (samba). The safe mode setting is off. Does anybody has any idea why this thing happen? I'm trying to make a simple website where people register to my website. When the user doesn't fill anything inside the boxes they get a message "Please fill all required fields" on the register.php page On my local host require_once works good. It shows up.
But when i upload the files to my sever the require_once does not show up on the register.php It just refreshes and i dont get the message "Please fill all required fields"
This is the code that works in local host but not in a live server <?php require_once 'messages.php'; ?>
Here is my full code
Register page: <html> <?php require_once 'messages.php'; ?> <br><br> <form action="register-clicked.php" method="POST"> Username:<br> <input type="text" name="usernamebox" placeholder="Enter Username Here"> <br><br> Email:<br> <input type="text" name="emailbox" placeholder="Enter email here"> <br><br> Password:<br> <input type="password" name="passwordbox" placeholder="Enter password here"> <br><br> Confirm Password:<br> <input type="password" name="passwordconfirmbox" placeholder="Re-enter password here"> <br><br> <input type="submit" name="submitbox" value="Press to submit"> <br><br> </form> </html>
Register clicked <?php
session_start();
$data = $_POST;
if( empty($data['usernamebox']) ||
empty($data['emailbox']) ||
empty($data['passwordbox']) ||
empty($data['passwordconfirmbox'])) {
$_SESSION['messages'][] = 'Please fill all required fields';
header('Location: register.php');
exit;
}
if ($data['passwordbox'] !== $data['passwordconfirmbox']) {
$_SESSION['messages'][] = 'Passwords do not match';
header('Location: register.php');
exit;
}
$dsn = 'mysql:dbname=mydatabase;host=localhost';
$dbUser='myuser';
$dbPassword= 'password';
try{
$connection = new PDO($dsn, $dbUser, $dbPassword);
} catch (PDOException $exception){
$_SESSION['messages'][] = 'Connection failed: ' . $exception->getMessage();
header('Location: register.php');
exit;
}
messages.php <?php
session_start();
if (empty($_SESSION['messages'])){
return;
}
$messages = $_SESSION['messages'];
unset($_SESSION['messages']);
?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($messages as $message): ?>
<li><?php echo $message; ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
Edited Wednesday at 12:49 AM by bee65 Hi, I am not a PHP programmer. I took on a new client with a simple PHP site, without any databases. The site is up and running on the web. I would like to get it running on my local machine for further development. I have latest version of WAMP installed, running Apache version 2.2.11 and PHP version 5.3.0 I created a directory in the WAMP "www" project directory and it shows up there like it's supposed to when I browse to "localhost" Problem: The home page of website displays text but no, images, styles, footer, header, nav links, etc. Here is the code for the home page: <? define("NAV","home"); require_once('local/local.php'); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>TITLE</title> <meta name="keywords" content=""> <meta name="Description" content=""> <? include("common/dochead.php"); ?> </head> <body onLoad="<? include('common/preloads.php'); ?>"> <!-- ============================ main ============================= --> <div id="main-frame"><div id="main" class="noCollapse"> <? include("common/sign.php"); ?> <div id="right-frame"> <? include("common/navigation.php"); ?> <div id="content-frame"> <div id="content"> <h1>Welcome</h1> <p>This is the content area.

I have spent many hours on this. Regards Hi folks, I'm curious if I can for example, save a file from my server and it will save to all other servers - obviously if they accepted the connection first. It's for a software I developed and is almost complete and know there will be frequent updates to it. Instead of users downloading upates, I want the update files from my server to somehow synchronize to their server automatically? Anything called this?? Thanks for info. Following a tutorial on udemy, i tried to learn the very basics of mvc structure. I built the same project on my local server and it worked without giving me any error. but when i tried it on live server. its not working as it should. not showing any error. I tried to figure out the problem and found that for every page loading, it stops at the same line in my main.php file. <?php require($view); ?> starting from the above line. it stops. i came here to share my problem but i am unable to upload my files here. if there is a way to upload and share my files, please guide. zip file size of the whole project is 31.6 kb This isn't exactly an application design question, but rather a system design one.
I am about to install an Inventory Control System inside this store I work in.
The store itself also owns a Linode VPS running Centos 6.4 which hosts our website.
This new Inventory System will come built in with a Microsoft SQL Server, and supposedly it is a SQL Anywhere database, but I'm not too sure what that means.
I need to make this database publicly accessible, but only via the Linode VPS. Surely, setting restrictions is easy enough to address that issue. That isn't my question.
My first idea is to put this server into the DMZ, easy. But it doesn't exactly sound safe. So my next idea was to put a middleman server in the DMZ, this way the Linode can send queries to that middleman server and it will send that data to the SQL Server and back. This is very vaguely described I know, but I don't want to get too much into details, but rather, understand how I can create that middleman server, and what could Install onto it that would allow me to securely process queries?
My first thought was to install a webservice, that accepts an XML/JSON request and returns an XML/JSON response.
Then, I realized directly afterwards that I don't have any experience setting up a webservice like that.
What kind of options are there out there? Ultimately, my question is, should I just put the Server in the DMZ or should I create the middleman, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction as to getting a webservice set up? Edited by Zane, 15 July 2014 - 11:28 PM. Hey. I am wanting to move a couple of files from my current server to another. If i am uploading the file this is fine but if it is already on the server then im not sure how to move it. When uploading I can just use ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $myFile, FTP_BINARY); What i need to do is figure out how to get a hold of the file and store it in $myFile then this would work fine. Is this possible? Cheers (This might be the wrong forum; it might be server-side configuration, but alas it is the code that *calls* fwrite, so I'll start here.) I have written a script, and one thing it does is generate a file to disk using fwrite. No big deal. Here's what interests me: On most servers, the file is written successfully when the folder's permissions are 755 with recursive permissions. On some servers, 755 fails. Only 777 works. How could this be? Are permissions=permissions=permissions? Why will 755 work on one machine but not another? I'm just a logic guy; I know very little of server-side configuration and/or why there would be a difference here. Just trying to learn. I have two servers: WebServer and FaxServer. WebServer needs to send a fax. Is my approach shown below fairly secure? Before sending a fax, ServerWeb needs to store a record in a table representing the message, and I am using a pseudo random value for the PK which is generated as 2147483648+mt_rand(-2147483647,2147483647). WebServer then generates a hash equal to hash('sha256',$pk.'secretCodeWhichOnlyWebServerAndFaxServerKnow'). WebServer then sends curl request to FaxServer using POST which includes $pk, the hash, the fax number, some text to include in the fax, and an optional array of document to include (array(array('id'=>321,'name')=>'fileName.pdf')). FaxServer verifies that the hash is correct given $pk, that the minimum information has been received, and that the fax number is a valid phone number, and quickly responds to WebServer by echoing 0 or 1 so the code in the WebServer could continue and inform the user. If all looks okay, a new instance of PHP is started.
if(missingInformation) {echo(0);}
else {
session_start();
$_SESSION['_xfr']=$_POST;
exec('/usr/bin/php -q /path/to/send_fax.php '.session_id().' >/dev/null &');
echo(1);
}
New instance of PHP send_fax.php then does the following:
session_id($argv[1]);//Set by parent
session_start();
$data=$_SESSION['_xfr'];
$doc_list=null;
foreach ($data['documents'] AS $doc)
{
if(ctype_alnum($doc['id']))
{
$file='/some/tmp/directory/'.$doc['id'];
if(!file_exists($file))
{
$url='http://machine.WebServer.com/index.php?task=displayDocument&id='.$doc['id'].'&x='.hash('sha256','displayDocument'.$doc['id'].'secretCodeWhichOnlyWebServerAndFaxServerKnow');
$cmd='wget -O '.$file.' '.escapeshellarg($url);
exec($cmd);
}
$doc_list.=' '.$file;
}
exit('invalid document');
}
//Send the fax...
//Send another CURL request to the WebServer similar to the wget giving the fax status.
exit;
When WebServer receives the wget request for a document, it confirms the hash and sends the document to the FaxServer using X-Sendfile.When WebServer receives the CURL request regarding status, it updates the database for the applicable message. Seem reasonably secure? What I'm trying to do is copy all files from one server to another folder on another server. Here is what I have have so far.. <?PHP //connection settings $ftp_server = "server"; $ftp_user_name = "user"; $ftp_user_pass = "pass"; $dir = "/var/test/"; $destination_file = "/test/"; // set up basic connection $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); // login with username and password $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); // check connection if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { echo "FTP connection has failed!"; echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name"; exit; } else { echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name"; } if (ftp_chdir($conn_id, $dir)) { echo " <br/>Current directory is now: " . ftp_pwd($conn_id) . "\n<p/>"; } else { echo "Couldn't change directory\n<p/>"; } $buff = ftp_rawlist($conn_id, $dir); foreach($buff as $files) { echo $files. "<br/>"; if (ftp_get($conn_id, $destination_file."test.file", $dir."test.txt", FTP_BINARY)) { echo "<br/>Successfully written to $destination_file\n"; } else { echo "There was a problem\n"; } ?> That doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks, Sean i have made 2 classes. the first "point" has an array of 3 floats and some functions to help manipulate the values the second "triangle" has an array of 3 points. in this way if i want to make a tetrahedron i can make 4 points and assign them to 4 triangles. problem is for some reason each triangle point group seems to use 1k. any idea why? I have a .php code that gets data from a database and saves it in a variables as xml. However how can I then save all of the data in this variable as a .xml file somewhere? Thanks for any help. I'm trying to get an equation from a user that types it in the url, ex) 1+2+3. I can get the 1,2,3 fine, but the + operator is no longer in the string. Same with the * and / operators. Is there a way to keep them as a string using $_GET?
