hmmm I will have to check that out! I appreciate ALL of your help buddy!

Thanks! It works like a charm now!

I am working on a PHP script that will take a generated barcode and then place the image inside of a PDF using the FPDF script. require_once('fpdf.php'); require_once('fpdi.php'); $pdf =& new FPDF(); $pdf->Image("images/o-png24.png"); $pdf->Output("pdf.pdf", "F"); The PDF creates but the image does not place inside the PDF... any ideas?

Hmmm alright... I will keep looking then... I appreciate it buddy!

ah gotcha... I follow you now... sorry for the newb question... so I changed my code just a little bit: function processPDF($img) { $imgFile = "images/" . $img . ".jpg"; $pdfdoc = pdf_new(); pdf_open_file($pdfdoc, "test.pdf"); $image = pdf_load_image($pdfdoc, "jpeg", $imgFile, ""); pdf_fit_image($pdfdoc, $image, 0, 50, ""); pdf_close($image); } but now I am getting the following error: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDFlibException' with message 'Function must not be called in 'document' scope' in /var/www/barcode/index.php:31 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/barcode/index.php(31): pdf_fit_image(Resource id #4, 1, 0, 50, '') #1 /var/www/barcode/index.php(36): processPDF('hello') #2 {main} thrown in /var/www/barcode/index.php on line 31 And thanks for ALL of your help thus far!

hmmm I think I am confused... what is meant by resource?

I am trying to create script that I can open a PDF file and write an image to this file. Here is my code so far function processPDF($img) { $imgFile = "images/" . $img . ".jpg"; $fd = fopen("test.pdf", "w"); $pdfdoc = pdf_new(); pdf_open_file($pdfdoc, "test.pdf"); $image = pdf_load_image($pdfdoc, "jpeg", $imgFile, ""); pdf_fit_image('test.pdf', $image, 0, 50, ""); pdf_close_image($image); fclose($fd); } I have found several tutorials on how to create brand new PDF document, I already have a PDF doc I want to use. The error I am getting with the above is this: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDFlibException' with message 'pdf_fit_image() expects parameter 1 to be resource, string given' in /var/www/barcode/index.php:23 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/barcode/index.php(23): pdf_fit_image('test.pdf', 1, 0, 50, '') #1 /var/www/barcode/index.php(28): processPDF('hello') #2 {main} thrown in /var/www/barcode/index.php on line 23 Any ideas?

Thanks everyone! I will check out that website mentioned

I have been trying to better understand error checking but was wondering what are the best practices for using isset() vs empty()? Thanks! Dennis

Nevermind folks, thanks for the help

anyone?

I would check out using jQuery to handle your AJAX requests. Much easier to use and much cleaner to look at

I am trying to do a find and replace of a spanish word in a string but can't get it to work... $tele_array = array('teléfonos', 'teléfono'); $apar_array = array('aparatos', 'aparato'); if($culture == 'es-US' && $id == 1) { if(strstr($answer, 'teléfonos')) { echo 'Found it!'; $answer = str_replace($tele_array, $apar_array, $answer); } } the echo statement does not display and the rest of the script continues. Any thoughts?

so no help here?

so this is what I came up with: function maskStr($str = '') { $characters = "1234567890abcdefghjkmnopqrstuvwxyz"; $explode = strtok($str, ""); $string_one = ''; $string_two = ''; $string_three = ''; $string_four = ''; for($a = 0; $a < 3; $a++) { $string_one .= $characters[mt_rand(0, strlen($characters) - 1)]; $first = $string_one . $explode[0]; } for($b = 0; $b < 1; $b++) { $string_two .= $characters[mt_rand(0, strlen($characters) - 1)]; $second = $first . $string_two . $explode[1] . $explode[2]; } for($c = 0; $c < 4; $c++) { $string_three .= $characters[mt_rand(0, strlen($characters) - 1)]; $third = $second . $string_three . $explode[3]; } for($d = 0; $d < 2; $d++) { $string_four .= $characters[mt_rand(0, strlen($characters) - 1)]; $final = $third . $string_four; } return $final; } echo maskStr('1234'); Is there anyway to make the above condensed or easier to look at it?

I am trying to write a script that masks a users input when they submit a form and takes a field and is manipulated and then dumped into a database after being manipulated. The mask will look like this: nnn1n23nnnn4nn Where n is a random number or letter and the '1234' will be the input from the user... Any idea on how to achieve this?

ok so I got this working... SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 24 HOUR) <= date_col but it only selects the entries from today... I need it to pull entries from the past 24 hours... I pull a report every morning around 10am and need to be able to pull results from then and the past twenty four hours

SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL -1 DAY) <= date the above sql statement is supposed to select all of the results from the past 24 hours, but when I pull the query I get nothing... any ideas?

if(file_exists($file)) { $cmd = "uuencode " . escapeshellarg($file) . " " . escapeshellarg($attachment_name) . " | mail -s 'Test' dennismonsewicz@gmail.com"; if(passthru($cmd)) { echo '<p>File Sent Sucessfully!</p>'; } else { echo '<p>File Could Not Be Sent! </p>'; } } else { echo '<p>File does not exist!</p>'; } So I have the above command to encode a file and send it to me with the attachment... but when I run the script I get the error message of File Could Not Be Sent! ... but I still receive the test email with the attachment... Any ideas on why this is?

header('Content-Description: File Transfer'); header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename("/tmp/mytest.xls")); header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary'); header('Expires: 0'); header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0'); header('Pragma: public'); header('Content-Length: ' . filesize("/tmp/mytest.xls")); readfile("/tmp/mytest.xls"); The code above does not force download the file, rather it displays the results on the screen... is this a problem of the headers not sending?

ok so now I am getting the following error: Fatal Error: 'send' is an unknown method of 0 updated code: require 'Mail.php'; $recipients = 'dennismonsewicz@gmail.com'; $headers['From'] = 'dennismonsewicz@gmail.com'; $headers['To'] = 'dennismonsewicz@gmail.com'; $headers['Subject'] = 'Test message'; $body = 'Test message'; $params['sendmail_path'] = '/usr/lib/sendmail'; // Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method $mail_object &= Mail::factory('sendmail', $params); $mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);

yes

So I am trying to explore the avenue known as PEAR and I am getting nowhere Here is my code: require '/usr/share/php/Mail.php'; $recipients = 'dennismonsewicz@gmail.com'; $headers['From'] = 'me@me.com'; $headers['To'] = 'dennismonsewicz@gmail.com'; $headers['Subject'] = 'Test message'; $body = 'Test message'; $params['sendmail_path'] = '/usr/lib/sendmail'; // Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method $mail_object =& Mail::factory('sendmail', $params); $mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body); If I do not include the file using an absolute path I get the following error message: Fatal Error: 'PEAR.php' is not a valid path But if I include the file with the absolute path I then get a blank page.... Any ideas?

here is the code I am using: $fileatt = $file; // Path to the file $fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream"; // File Type $fileatt_name = "filename.xls"; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment $email_from = "me@me.com"; // Who the email is from $email_subject = "subject here"; // The Subject of the email $email_message = "This is a test"; // Message that the email has in it $email_to = "me@me.com"; // Who the email is too $headers = "From: ".$email_from; $semi_rand = md5(time()); $mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x"; $headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
