[Simple Image Scaling]

You'll need PHP compiled with GD support to use its image functions. There is an example of resizing images on the [a href=\"http://uk.php.net/imagecopyresized\" target=\"_blank\"]manual page for imagecopyresized()[/a].

[apache server configuration]

I'm not sure how you'd go about doing that in Apache - I'm not even sure that you can. You could do this however if you have a DNS on your network, or if you manually edit the HOSTS file on each machine on your network. Windows machines store this file in \WINDOWS\system32\etc I think.

[Better myself in web design]

Theres a good Photoshop tutorial site at psworkshop.net, I check it out every so often for ideas, but I feel a lot of the stuff there is getting a bit dated, sites are starting to look a lot cleaner these days with the 'less is more' attitude to design...

Sometimes I even check out those sites that sell web templates for ideas on new designs.

[Redirect output to a file?]

You could use PHPs file functions...
[code]<?php
$java = "class HelloWorld {\r\n
\tpublic static void main (String[] arguments) {\r\n
\t\tSystem.out.println(\"Hello World\");\r\n
\t}\r\n
}";

$h = fopen ("hello_world.java","wb");
fwrite ($h,$java);
fclose ($h);
?>[/code]
Don't forget the semi-colon on the end of the file functions, they're removed in my example due to a bug in the forum.

["settings.php'); ?>hp'); ?>" error]

Crayon: thank you for your reply, that is what I eventually want to do, but first I want to "validate" the VIN. In other words, I want to see if the string in VIN_ID can be found in the VIN. For that I need to check the entire column VIN_ID against the VIN and see if any of those can be found in the VIN, if this makes any sense.
[/quote]
Thats what Crayons code does... Searches all of the VIN_ID's in the database and returns all of the VIN_IDs that are found within the VIN held in $findme. You can just return a count if you like with:
[!--sql--][div class=\'sqltop\']SQL[/div][div class=\'sqlmain\'][!--sql1--][span style=\'color:blue;font-weight:bold\']SELECT[/span] [color=blue]COUNT[/color](*) [color=green]FROM[/color] [color=orange]`table`[/color] [color=green]WHERE[/color] `VIN_ID` [color=orange]LIKE[/color] [color=red]'%$findme%'[/color] [!--sql2--][/div][!--sql3--]
If that query returns a number higher than 0, you have a match.

[ImageCreateFromJpeg ...]

Have you tried assigning an absolute path to $topimg instead of a relative one?

[File Upload Values after Validation]

I don't think the file input type supports a value attribute unfortunately...

[php 4 vs php 4.3]

Books that teach PHP4 often cover alot of the features of PHP 4.x.x, PHP4 is just a generalisation as "sub-versions" get released on a some-what regular basis.

Although, there were a handful of new functions that were implemented in PHP 4.2.x, there would be no fundimental differences in the syntax or functionality of the language.

[fopen on XP fails]

Surely if it is owned by the php user 'nobody', it wouldn't matter as you would be controlling it with php for the rest of your scripts anyway? Or is that not the case? I'm a little confused here too!

[Php 5.1.4 question]

I can't see anything obvious jumping out at me, have you made sure error reporting / logging has been switched on within your php.ini file?

[How to check if Image Magick is working?]

Yep, looks like its installed and working! Happy to help [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":smile:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /]

[Need help with the copy() function]

I think as long as the directory is enclosed with quotes you should be fine, which it needs them anyway or you'll probably get a syntax error...

[How to check if Image Magick is working?]

You could try this:
[code]<?php
exec("mogrify",$out)
echo "<pre>"; print_r($out); echo "</pre>";
?>[/code]
It should print the instructions on how to use the mogrify command in ImageMagick. (Don't forget the semi-colon on the end of exec() - left out on purpose due to forum bug!)

Thanks for the response SemiApocalyptic.

I'm not sure how that would help me. even if i could just get the full url of y.php after i provide the username and password that would be great.

is that even possible?
[/quote]
Oh, I'm sorry, I missunderstood you. With regards to your question, I'm not sure, hopefully somone will pop along soon that does know :)

[session retrieval]

You can set the session ID with session_id() function.

What is it (not) doing, and what are you expecting it to do?

[knowing "day" according to a given date]

You could try:
[code] echo date("D",strtotime("19-06-2006"));[/code]

[Search within PHP files]

You could use glob() - file() - strpos()

[validation problems]

session_start(); needs to be called before any output (including HTML), its best to put it right at the top of your file, so that line 1 is "<?php session_start(); ?>".

[validation problems]

Is session_start(); called before [i]all[/i] page output?

[login script - multiple mysql tables]

You haven't got more than one user with the same email and password have you? If you have, your code will assign the last user of those selected to your session variables.

[making a member login script with vbulletin]

Can you post an example encrypted password?

[b]EDIT:[/b] Just searched on Google, and someone posted somewhere else that vB hashes passwords through md5, then salts it, then through md5 again... Maybe you could extract the encryption function from vB and use it to encrypt your passwords?
