PHP - Can You Read In An Image From A File Into Html Without Refreshing A Webpage?
I am using a photo scrolling css animation technique
I'm not sure as far as CPU usage (on server)/(on client) and bandwith usage if loading one picture at a time to scroll versus having a line up "pre-exist" which even then, I would only have five images at a time but what if that is multiplied by 10000 users
Anyway, the current knowledge I have, I have a css animation property that takes in a photo and animates from 0% to 100% keyframe based on margins to make the scrolling happen
In the HTML section there is a list of photos, I would like there to be one line of code that is like a receiver that takes in or reads in arbitrary photo locations and puts that next to be scrolled without interrupting the main animation sequence which I'm not sure if there would be interruption. Anyway I don't know if that is possible. If someone can point out that this idea is obviously flawed then that would be great.
This isn't my ultimate solution, I have yet to see others, I'm just trying to minimize loading and lag
The other problem I have that is interesting is that I want the scrolling to stop when a person hovers over an image, and then resume... I have gotten this to work but only on one image... this is probably a matter of listing out all the key parts of the problem and seeing the solution but
When I had a list of photos that were scrolling together, I could get the whole animation to stop when hovering over the first photo and then take me somewhere (all the photos have working href's) but the animation would not stop if I hovered over any photos after the first. The animation would keep going
So I tried to animate each picture independently and that was just a cluster ****
Still working on that
If someone could point me in the right direction on the main problem of reading in photos live to work with css animation, that would be great.

When I call the function, it seems like it just loads the html file but without the dependent files (css,js, etc) When I call it directly it loads just fine. Created a hyperlink 'openvideo.php?id=video' that calls this function below: if($_REQUEST['id'] == 'video') { readfile('/usr/home/site.com/htdocs/content/videofolder/video.html'); } else { echo 'nada'; } Any help is appreciated.

Please kindly any one help me asap the way for read and write image file in word document. can we do this any other way? we are reading and writing txt files using php the same can we do with image file (read and write in word document) ?? Thanks Prema I'm trying to send some POST data to a page and then get the contents of it. The page is not on my server, so I can't use Sessions or GET. Google hasn't provided me with a definite answer. How would I do this? I am creating a series of PHP scripts that allow for someone to append extra information to an Accident Claim Report. One of these scripts lists the files in a directory called the RCM directory. For the purpose of this, there is only one file in the list named "denman2.txt" and a hyperlink is attached to it so that the updated Accident Claim Report can be displayed. However, I would like it so that a style sheet could be applied to the "denman2.txt" text file, and I was wondering how it would be possible for the "denman2.txt" file to be opened in a format such as an HTML format so that a style sheet can be applied to it. Here is my Append Code: Code: [Select] <html> <head><title>Amend File</title></head> <?php if($_POST['append'] !=null) { $filename="C:/xampp/htdocs/rcm/denman2.txt"; $file=fopen($filename, "a"); $msg="Updated Information: " .$_POST['append']. "<br>"; fputs ($file, $msg); fclose($file); } ?> <body> <h1>Do you want to append to a document?</h1> Enter Updated Information: <form action="amendfile2.php" method="post"> <input type="text" size="40" name="append"><br><br> <input type="submit" value="Add updated information to report"> </form> <form action="viewfile3.php" method="post"> <input type="submit" value="View Web Blog"> </form> </body></html> My View File Code: Code: [Select] <html><head> <title>RCM File List</title></head> <body> <h1>Files in RCM Directory</h1> <?php $dir="C:/xampp/htdocs/rcm/*txt"; foreach(glob($dir) as $file) { $list = "<li><a href='readfile2.php'>Filename: $file</a></li>"; } ?> <ul> <?php echo $list; ?> </ul> </body> </html> And my Read File Code: Code: [Select] <html><head><title>Reading Accident Reports</title></head> <body> <?php function myErrorHandler($errno, $errstr) { echo "<b>Error: </b> [$errno] $errstr"; echo "<br>"; echo "End scripting"; die(); } set_error_handler("myErrorHandler"); $filename="C:/xampp/htdocs/rcm/denman2.txt"; $file = fopen($filename, "r"); while (!feof($file)) { $line=fgets($file,1024); echo "$line<br>"; } fclose($file); ?> </body> </html> Any help is appreciated I am using apache web server on linux. I am using PHP for web designing. On web server, i want to show the configuration data by reading the ini file. I am creating this ini file from one php code itself. If this php code i run through linux terminal, the file is created with file and group owner as root.(i am having sudo rights on machine) Then if i try to read the ini file from my apache web server, it gives warning as failed to open stream: permission denied. I have tried changing the owner, and permissions to 777 of the file. Still it is not readable.
On the other hand, if i run the php code of ini file creation through web server, ini file is created with file and group owner as apche. and web server is able to read/ write the file.
But i want to create that file from root or some other user and later read/written by apache.
How to give this access permission?
Magandang Araw, Just want to ask if this idea is feasible or something, these past few days im doing some research on how materialize the said topic and apparently there were no sound solution so far. , im working on a script that allows users to publish html design to jpg, Im done with Imagemagik since its the nearest inline with the specs, so is there any other solution aside from this? im thinking of a php script that will do the job, more likely some gdlibrary manipulation or something.

Hi there, I have an xml file which actually hold the currency conversion information which I downloaded from xe.com In the xml, the currency section snapshot looks like this: <currency> <csymbol>EUR</csymbol> <cname>Euro</cname> <crate>0.713</crate> <cinverse>1.403 </cinverse> </currency> this is the conversion of USD to Euro. And it tells how much is 1USD gonna be in Euros. i.e 1 USD = 0.713 EUR I have a product page on my website having the rates shown in USD. For the visitor is accessing the page from Europe it has to show the converted price in Euros. My application can detect the visitors country if hes accessing the page from Europe so that is not a problem. I just need to read the xml file and display the converted price based on the rates in the xml file. How can I read the xml file and output the price in Euros based on the rate. Thank you.

What kind of file to accept as input and how to read. Thanks Hello, I'm requesting your help here cause I'm really confused. I'm looking for deleting entries when an image doesn't load on my links test. I got all my links in a .txt file like this : links.txt = Code: [Select] <div class="gallery"> <a href="http://www.website.com/page"> <img src="http://tc16.easythumbhost.com/image.jpg" onerror="ImgError(this)"/> </a> </div> #enddiv the "onerror" code in img src sends an "Image Missing" pic. What I'd want is to change the "onerror" function to open a php script which deletes all the lines of the div. This is the script I use to show the links on my page : Code: [Select] $links = "links.txt"; $fd = fopen ($links, "r"); $content = fread ($fd,filesize ($links)); fclose ($fd); $delimiter = "#enddiv"; $splitcontent = explode($delimiter, $content); $output = array_slice($splitcontent, 0,100); foreach ( $output as $divs ) { echo "$divs"; } I've searched hours and tried lots of codes before posting Help would be very appreciated. Thanks. I'm trying to read in a file which is essentially a csv. (I have a couple of books and am a n00b faffing with sessions/cookies etc and am trying to set up an app for a local forum I'm involved with...) I originally tried fgetcsv and also reading the file in line by line (via fgets/explode) and for the most part it works. However some of the entries have a '<' character within them and whenever the script hits a line with one of these it screws up and truncates the line. I presume the '<' is attempting to redirect the data somewhere(?), but have found no way of being able to read this in whole as of yet and I dont really want to resort to processing each line character by character... An example line would be: 3p!<ph4il,Fabulous Diamond Eyes,Lizzies,Div 3C I welcome some advice to put me out of my misery on the matter Hi All, sure this is simple but I'm still new to php/mySQL so errors are abundant! I have a simple form with one input: a browse button so the user can find a .csv file on their computer. User then clicks button, upon which I would like the file to be read and the contents put into an array, and the values to be added to the database. I do not need the file to be stored (uploaded). So far my code is not erroring, it just doesn't add the values to the db. I'm wondering if it's just that I HAVE to upload and save the file to the webserver else I can't read it? if(isset($_FILES['file_path']['tmp_name'])&& $_FILES['file_path']['tmp_name'] !=''){ $file_to_import = $_FILES['file_path']['tmp_name']; $import_data = file($file_to_import); print_r($import_data); if ($import_data !=''){ for($index = 1; $index < sizeof($import_data); $index++){ $order_data = explode(",",$import_data[$index]); tep_db_query("UPDATE orders SET act_shipping_cost = '" . $order_data[8].
