PHP - Check If Remote Image Exists
Please help before this script drives me insane. It tries to download a skin from Minecraft. It works fine, except, if it returns an error code, (301, 302, 404), don't download, and using my image (char.png) as a replacement. I can get the error code, except, no matter how I compare it, it will a) still say it's 302 or b) not work at all. Here's my code: userskin.inc.php > <?php require('class.mineuser.php'); if(!isset($_GET['width']) || strlen(trim($_GET['width'])) == 0 || !isset($_GET['height']) || strlen(trim($_GET['height'])) == 0) { $x = 16; $y = 16; } else { $x = $_GET['width']; $y = $_GET['height']; } if(isset($_GET['refresh'])) $refresh = true; else $refresh = false; if(isset($_GET['debug'])) $debug = true; else $debug = false; $http = curl_init("http://www.minecraft.net/skin/{$_GET['user']}.png"); curl_setopt($http, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $result = curl_exec($http); $http_status = curl_getinfo($http, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); $resp = preg_match("/302/", $http_status, $match); $code = $match[0]; if($code == 302) { mineuser::downloadSkin($_GET['user'], $_GET['path'], $code, $refresh); mineuser::getFace($_GET['user'].".png", $x, $y, $_GET['path'], $code, $debug); } else { mineuser::getFace("char.png", $x, $y, $_GET['path'], $code, $debug); } class.mineuser.php > <?php class mineuser { public static function downloadSkin($user, $path = "", $resp, $new = false) { if($resp !== 302) { //Checks if $new is true, if it is, then delete $user.png and download a new one. if($new == true) unlink("$path/$user.png"); //Checks if the users skin already exists (faster loading time) if(!file_exists("$path/$user.png")) { $fh = fopen("$path/$user.png", "w"); $file = file("http://www.minecraft.net/skin/$user.png"); foreach($file as $char) //Since it's an array, we use a foreach loop and write each character individually fwrite($fh, $char); fclose($fh); //Close our file handler. } } else { } } //End of function downloadSkin() public static function getFace($user, $width, $height, $path, $resp, $debug = true) { $im = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height); if($debug == false) { header("Content-type: image/png"); } if($resp === 302) { $image = imagecreatefrompng("$path/char.png"); } else { $image = imagecreatefrompng("$path/$user"); } imagecopyresampled($im, $image, 0, 0, 8, 8, $width, $height, 8, 8); imagepng($im); imagedestroy($im); } //End of function getFace() } ?> please help before i go insane Thanks in advance Similar TutorialsI need to check (from a Debian server to a Mac CLIENT (not server) machine) to see if a file exists on the file system...not an http server.

I'm running this script from a bash shell. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks. What is the best/proper way to check if a supplied URL goes to an actual image? My site will allow users to enter an image URL (like "http://example.com/images/monkey.jpg"). I will store the URL they enter in a MySQL database and then will call it up later and do some resizing to these images. But I don't want to try to do any resizing if the URL they supply doesn't actually go to an image, or if it's blank (i.e. the user didn't enter a URL yet). So basically, I will run a MySql query to pull back the contents of the column called "imageurl". Let's say those contents are stored in a variable called $imageurl. This is what I'm trying to accomplish.... Code: [Select] if ($theimageurl does NOT contain a URL to an image OR is blank) { // do this } else { //run my resizing code } I guess i could do this to check to see if it's blank, but not sure this is proper/most efficient way to check that part of the issue... Code: [Select] if (trim($theimageurl) == "") But greater than the "is it blank" concern is that people may enter URLs that just to a regular website so whether it's at this point in my code (or for security, I should probably do it BEFORE inserting it into my database :/ ) so curious if there are any functions that check to see if it's an image URL or not. I know of file_exists, but I'm pretty sure that's just checking to see if a file exists and doesn't check image URLs. Any info/suggestions would be appreciated as always! And if there are any recommended functions to check/clean the user-entered URL BEFORE it's entered into the database, please share Thanks! What is the best/proper way to run an image URL from an external site through a check to see if the image actually exists? I am trying to use file_exists() but it's not recognizing image URLs from external sites as existing, so there must be some other way to deal with external URLs. In other words, the image does exist but file_exists() says it doesn't. Can anyone help? What's the proper way to check if a file exists on a remote server? I know file_exists() works for you local files. I think i need to use something like the following. BUT if the file is not found PHP throws a warning. I know i can put a '@' before fopen() but that just masks the error. Code: [Select] <?php if(fopen("http://www.othersite.com/imageXYZ.jpg", "r")) { echo "File exists."; } else { echo "File does not exist."; } ?> hi, how can i check if a username exists? i tried this

The code highlighted in bold is where I want to check if the email exists (notice that form checking is done above that, including sorting out the email address that the user enters) and if it doesnt insert data into the table. Trouble is that on loading the page it simply states the 'already submitted' error before an email is even entered into the form: Code: [Select] if(isset($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['name']) AND isset($_POST['email']) && !empty($_POST['email']) AND ($_POST['password']) && !empty($_POST['password'])){ $name = mysql_escape_string($_POST['name']); // Turn our post into a local variable $email = mysql_escape_string($_POST['email']); $password = mysql_escape_string($_POST['email']);// Turn our post into a local variable } $name = mysql_escape_string($_POST['name']); $email = mysql_escape_string($_POST['email']); $password = mysql_escape_string($_POST['password']); if(!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $email)){ // Return Error - Invalid Email $msg = 'The email you have entered is invalid, please try again.'; }else{ // Return Success - Valid Email $msg = 'Your account has been made, <br /> please verify it by clicking the activation link that has been sent to your email.'; } $hash = md5( rand(0,1000) ); // Generate random 32 character hash and assign it to a local variable. // Example output: f4552671f8909587cf485ea990207f3b [b]$emailCheck = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM users WHERE email = '".$email."'"); if (mysql_num_rows($emailCheck) > 0) { echo "already submitted"; } else {[/b] // We have a match, activate the account mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (username, password, email, hash) VALUES( '". mysql_escape_string($name) ."', '". mysql_escape_string(md5($password)) ."', '". mysql_escape_string($email) ."', '". mysql_escape_string($hash) ."')

Edited February 16 by SaranacLake Hey Guys, I need some assistance, hopefully there is just a simple command that I am not aware of or an easy answer to this. Suppose I have an array with x amount of values... $arr = array("111111" => 10, "222222" => 20); And i have a query.. mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE table.zip = "111111" "); Suppose I want to modify the query, so it can check if table.zip exists anywhere in $arr, regardless of length of array. And Select the value that the array location refers to. So I need it to check if "111111" is anywhere in the array, and then take the value 10. The example I am applying this to is that I have a database full of business addresses/zip codes and a database full of every zip code in country. So I have a script to get every zip within x miles, and the distance from it, but need to be able to apply it when I query my business addresses to see if it exists within x miles. Thanks!

Hi, I just want to know how to check if a row/record already exists for a given table, but this code gives me message in browser: Warning: mysql_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in myTest.php This is the the snippet I am running: Code: [Select] <?php $connxn=mysql_connect("localhost","root"); $db=mysql_select_db("siliconvalley"); $toyNodePath="#document/siliconValleyHELLO"; $queryA=mysql_query("SElECT FROM pathexpress (path_express) WHERE path_express='$toyNodePath'");//make sure AT MOST ONE ROW EXISTS!! if(mysql_num_rows($queryA)==1) print "ALREADY IN table pathexpress!"; else { mysql_query("INSERT INTO pathexpress (path_express) VALUES ('$toyNodePath')"); print "ADDED $toyNodePath to table pathexpress!"; } ?> Please, any help is greatly appreciated! I am adding new entries into a MySQL table via a php script. The script works fine, but I want to prevent duplicate entries. How can I check if an entry already exists on the table before initiating the query to write to the table. It is for a user registration type of system. The php script rights "AccountName" and "PassWord" to the table called "Accounts". This was my attempt to check if it exists: $query = "INSERT INTO Accounts(AccountName, Password)VALUES ('".$Accn."','".$Pwwd."')"; $Check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Accounts"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($Check)) { $Account = $row['AccountName']; } if($accn != Account) { mysql_query($query); } Where $accn = the new accountname entered. I am trying to compare the new AccountName(accn) that was entered with the array of all AccountNames already in the database, and if does not already exists, then add it. Pehaps this is kidstuff but i'm a kid at heart. I have only 1 form field on a form User enters a special code in the form. Once submitted the form is queried against a mysql database to see if the code exists. If code does not exist it must be reentered. If code exists then redirected. basically its like "get to the next page if you have the code" thanks Hey, so I'm trying to check the database if the user and email already exists when registering. <?php include_once('includes/config.php'); if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $username = $_POST['username'] ? trim($_POST['username']) : null; $password = md5($_POST['password']) ? trim($_POST['password']) : null;; $email = ($_POST['email']); $message = ""; if(empty($username) || empty($password) || empty($email)) { $message = "All fields required"; } else { $sql = "SELECT COUNT(username) AS userNum FROM users WHERE username = :username"; $sql = "SELECT COUNT(email) AS emailNum FROM users WHERE email = :email"; $stmt = $db->prepare($sql); $stmt->bindValue(':username', $username); $stmt->execute(); $row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); if($row['userNum'] >0) { die("That username already exists!"); } elseif($row['emailNum'] > 0) { die("That email already exists!"); } $sql = "INSERT INTO users (username, password, email) VALUES (:username, :password, :email)"; $stmt = $db->prepare($sql); $stmt->bindValue(':username', $username); $stmt->bindValue(':password', $password); $stmt->bindValue(':email', $email); $result = $stmt->execute(); if($result) { $message = "Registration was successful"; } } } ?> If I remove this line " $sql = "SELECT COUNT(email) AS emailNum FROM users WHERE email = :email"; the code works but only checks the username. How can I check both? Hey guys im automatically generating a folder location to place some image files the user has uploaded into. If this folder doesnt exist how can i make it? $target_path_thumbnails = "http://www.worldwidelighthouses.com/Images/".$folderlocation."/".$foldername."/Mini/"; Thats the path style. Danny Hi, I am creating a temporary table. I need to check if the table already exists or not. If exists, I have to use the existing data else have to create a new temporary table. I can use 'Create If Not Exists'. How practical is this query? any issues with the performance? If the table exists it will be a huge data, I don't want to loose that data because recreating is an un-necessary load on the database. |
