PHP - Php Ascii To Utf-8 Conversion

I have the following code:

Code: [Select]
$str = ($stringcontents[$step+38]);
$str1 = ord($str);
$bgcolor = convertchar($str1);
?>
<td bgcolor='<?php echo $bgcolor;?>'>
<span title='<?php echo $fieldname;?>' style='color: <?php echo $fgcolor;?>; font-size: 12pt'><font color="<?php echo $fgcolor;?>"><?php echo $stringcontents[$step];?></font></span>

the convertchar function takes the ord value of the ASCII chr and sets a variable for bgcolor and fgcolor using HTML color codes.  The background sets correctly, but the foreground ASCII chr is always black and does not use the font color code.

What do I need to do to get the ASCII chr to change to a color other than black?


Added:
I am using a default charset:

<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=IBM437">

Hey there,
wondering if anyone knows what this topic will be about okay lets start:

I have a search function on my site. Basically I do this:

Code: [Select]
if $_POST -> redirect ?search=$_POST

if $_GET['search'] - > sql_query($search);
Of course I am working with functions like
mysql_real_escape_string - addslashes - htmlspecialchars , but I have the following problem:

when redirecting chars like & % ? ! kill my $_GET var.

Which function solves this?

My solution:
I convert every char in $_POST into an ascii code -> redirect ?search=$ascii_codes
convert back into $string and do safe search.

Hello everyone,

I am trying to see if a term, sent from a form, is in an array that has been pulled from the database.

The problem I am having is that while the terms look the same the one from the database is using an Ascii character for a forward slash. & # 047 ;

I have tried adding the Ascii to the form value but it just rendered as a forward slash (no surprises there I suppose)

So the main reason for asking is that for all the other items in the form I can use in_array. This keeps things really tidy and easy to use.

Any ideas how I can still use in_array and get around the Ascii problem?

Cheers

Hi, for my purposes, I can only use core PHP function (no PEAR for eg) to convert SQL to XML, should I convert SQL to csv first, and then use php's filesystem to read each line to extract and store as xml nodes OR does someone know easier/better method?

Any help much appreciated, thanks.

I need a little help. I am trying to convert images taken from an upload form and convert them to jpg and then upload it to my directory. I tried GD but I cant figure out how to upload the converted file. I also tried using ffmpeg to convert the file but I am only able to do it with videos, I cant find the parameters for image to image conversion. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello Freaks, 

                        Is there any possible way to convert a .PDF file to .html file without using any third party app and API?.

Help me with your opinion..

Thank You 

 

 

 

 

        

I don't really know how to explain this, I saw once on some forum members signature, something like this :
G = "\ x50 \ x72 \ 157 \ 144 \ x75 \ x63 \ 164 \ x20 \ x6c \ x69 \ 143 \ 145 \ 156 \ x73 \ 145 \ 040 \ x68 \ 141 \ x73 \ 040 \ x65 \ x78 \ 160 \. 151 \ 162 \ x65 \ 144 \ x2e \ x20 "+ E.

That somehow translates into words, I know there is a PHP function to convert that, what is that code called and what is the PHP function?

I've been looking at converting my php timestamps to display as month, day, and the hour and minute the event occurred on, i tried;

Code: [Select]
$time = date("j/n H:i", $Events['timestamp']);
But no success can anyone point me in the correct direction? Thanks

I need to compare current time to data based time.

Time in the database is in this format > 00:00:00
Easy enough. 

>>>>What I need is to convert "00:00:00" format into "time();" format<<<<

The opposite is below...it's all I could come up with so far.


<?
$gettime = time();
$displayTime = date('H:i:s', time());
echo $displayTime;
?>


Thank you.

Hello,
Doing a little calendar where days are incremented as variable $i formatted like 'j' or single digit numbers 1,2,3 etc.  (The calendar works fine)
However for querying DB tables I need the day formatted as 'd' or 01,02,03 etc. so on any day I need to make this conversion.

I can't find an easy solution though there must be one.  Thanks in advance.
Code: [Select]
<?php
//test day
$i=7;
$day=date('d', mktime($i));
echo "$day";
//Should be 07
?>

Can someone tell me how to convert a MySQL date such as 2010-08-13 into the the US format, such as 8/13/2010, and also the reverse using PHP?  I can't seem to find the right functions.

Thanks!

Good evening,

I hope some of you can bring me some hope to solve this problem. My client wants to create pdf files and let the user download it. He want's to design one word file and then import it to the application. After that the portal users can request it, which means that the application should take the word file, search and replace some keywords and then create the pdf file for download purposes. I see fpdf but this class only create pdf's. We can not convert from word or even search and replace in one pdf file. There is any solution that i can use bear in mind that our application is located in external servers?

Looking forward for your help.
Regards,
HS

Hi all,

Hopefully this will be a simple one for all you geniuses...Geniea... clever people out there.  :?

I'm trying to convert the following code from a mysql_ to sqlsrv_ statement. I have to admit i am a bit of a noob, but am learning fast! The code was originally developed by dreamweaver with some webassist extensions.

  $conn4 = sqlsrv_connect($hostname, $connectionInfo);
  if (!session_id()) session_start();
  $insertParamsObj = WA_AB_generateInsertParams($WA_fieldNames, $WA_columns, $WA_fieldValues, -1);
  $WA_Sql = "INSERT INTO `" . $WA_table . "` (" . $insertParamsObj->WA_tableValues . ") VALUES (" . $insertParamsObj->WA_dbValues . ")";
  $MM_editCmd = sqlsrv_query($conn4, $WA_Sql) or die(print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
  $_SESSION[$WA_sessionName] = sqlsrv_insert_id();
  if ($WA_redirectURL != "")  {
    if ($WA_keepQueryString && $WA_redirectURL != "" && isset($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]) && $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] !== "" && sizeof($_POST) > 0) {
      $WA_redirectURL .= ((strpos($WA_redirectURL, '?') === false)?"?":"&").$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"];
    }

I appear to have had some luck with other parts of the code renaming mysql_ statements with the appropriate sqlsrv variations and some (slight) code re-hashing, but the above has given me a bit of a headache  :banghead: . I assume that I need to break the   "$WA_Sql = "INSERT INTO `" . $WA_table . "` (" . $insertParamsObj->WA_tableValues . ") VALUES (" . $insertParamsObj->WA_dbValues . ")";" into two parts to give the sqlsrv_query it's `resource`, `array`, `parameter` format (I think that's right!), but i might be wrong.

If it's all completely wrong, I apologise!

Unfortunately due to the nature of the project Microsoft SQL is a necessary evil, and PDO has been considered but my brain is exploding with a (near straight) conversion as is... Unless anyone knows of a mysql to PDO conversion utility....or really easy method???

Would anyone be kind enough to help me with this?

Regards
