Checking httpd.conf, I see:
<IfModule !mpm_winnt.c> <IfModule !mpm_netware.c> # # If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run # httpd as root initially and it will switch. # # User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as. # . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup". # . On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and the # suggested workaround is to create a user www and use that user. # NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET) # when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000; # don't use Group #-1 on these systems! # User myAdminUsername Group #-1 </IfModule> </IfModule>
Next to "User" it shows the same admin name I use when logging in. I would think this would mean it would have full access to all files and folders. What could I be missing?

I am running Apache via MAMP, a local amp stack running on my development system on my iMac. I am running MAMP and the Terminal in my own user account. Will Apache have different permissions for accessing files on the disk, than I have when I am running a command via the Terminal?
-
When executed from the terminal, the following command works perfectly:
gnuplot '/Applications/IPG/htdocs/ftp/company_name/Charts/gnuPlotCommandFile.gp'
However, when I run it from inside PHP with:
exec("gnuplot '/Applications/IPG/htdocs/ftp/company_name/Charts/gnuPlotCommandFile.gp'");
...or:
system("gnuplot '/Applications/IPG/htdocs/ftp/company_name/Charts/gnuPlotCommandFile.gp'");
...nothing seems to happen. How can I correct this?
Note - exec is enabled on my system, according to the following function:
function exec_enabled() {
$disabled = explode(', ', ini_get('disable_functions'));
return !in_array('exec', $disabled);
}
Thanks very much in advance to all for any info.

This is my first time using GD. I've got an image with a transparent background. All the other pixels are the identical color (#8bc4ed). I want to replace all those pixels with a given color, say #CCC5AC. Here's my code that doesn't work yet:
$filepath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/images/source_image.gif"; $image = imagecreatefromgif($filepath); $indexToSearchFor = imagecolorat($image, 3, 0); imagecolorset($image, $indexToSearchFor, 204, 197, 172); $filepath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/images/target.gif"; imagegif ($image, $filepath);
The output image is identical to the input image - no color is replaced.
What is the correct way to do this?
Here is a link to the image I'm trying to change in case you can tell anything from it: http://www.generalwebapps.com/images/header_2_selected.gif.
Thanks very much to all in advance for any info!

That was it. Thanks very much!

A new, fully stripped-down demo, is now at:
http://www.flavorzoom.com/anomalies/Table_Header_Anomaly_2/Table_Header_Anomaly.html
-
Table Headers will actually center the text by default. Without seeing the rest of you css there is no way to tell what you did wrong.
The demo, including the css, is at this link:
-
I've just applied the following rule to the demo, but it isn't yet working:
table.food_planner th#TopOfTable{
text-align: center;
}
I really thought that would fix it. What could be keeping it from working?
-
The demo page is available at this link:
This is not a live page; it's just to demo the anomaly.
Thanks very much in advance for any info!
-
Yes, it is centered, which makes it even odder that it's on the left of the TH element. It should be centered within the TH element. What is the correct way to fix this?
-
Thanks for checking out the page. Yes, I do have text-align: center on my top of table div. That's what's so odd.
There's also a notice to IE6 users saying that a later version of IE is required to access the site. It may not show up on the demo, but it's on the live site.
-
I have text in a table header element that is centered correctly in Firefox/XP, Firefox/Mac, and Safari/Mac, but on IE7/XP, it isn't centered. Here's a link to the demo:
The text I am trying to center is "Clear All", "Save This", and "Friendly Helper". (screen shot attached).
What is the correct way to get this text to center in IE7?
Thanks very much in advance to all for any info.

I think I just got it working using Views. Very cool!
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW NewAlloysPlusRatings AS SELECT brand_name, date_added, description, new_alloys_added_by_users.Alloy_ID_No, fz_score, id_of_user_who_added_this, id_of_user_who_provided_this_rating, let_other_people_use_this_info, Long_Desc, product_name, rating_was_a_plus from new_alloys_added_by_users left join ratings_for_fz_scores on new_alloys_added_by_users.Alloy_ID_No = ratings_for_fz_scores.Alloy_ID_No ; CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW UserPrefsPlusNewAlloys AS SELECT id, NDB_No, min, max, final_amount, user_prefs_for_alloys.Alloy_ID_No FROM user_prefs_for_alloys JOIN new_alloys_added_by_users ON user_prefs_for_alloys.Alloy_ID_No = new_alloys_added_by_users.Alloy_ID_No WHERE (user_prefs_for_alloys.id = 1) AND (user_prefs_for_alloys.Alloy_ID_No >0); SELECT * from NewAlloysPlusRatings JOIN UserPrefsPlusNewAlloys on NewAlloysPlusRatings.Alloy_ID_No = UserPrefsPlusNewAlloys.Alloy_ID_No;
Thanks very much to everyone here for your help!

xtopolis, I am not yet familiar with this syntax. I am running your code and, while it doesn't yet do exactly what I am seeking to do, it seems to be the right approach. What is the name of the syntax used to produce the variables, naabu, upfa, rffs, etc.? I will read up on it.
Thank you very much for this great info!

Thanks for the great info, xtopolis. I am attaching the structures via SHOW CREATE TABLE.
I have two queries that are working correctly. I need to join the results. Since SELECT AS is not the correct approach, what approach may I use for this purpose? Here are the two queries.
SELECT * from new_alloys_added_by_users left join ratings_for_fz_scores on new_alloys_added_by_users.Alloy_ID_No = ratings_for_fz_scores.Alloy_ID_No SELECT * FROM user_prefs_for_alloys JOIN new_alloys_added_by_users ON user_prefs_for_alloys.Alloy_ID_No = new_alloys_added_by_users.Alloy_ID_No WHERE (user_prefs_for_alloys.id = 1) AND (user_prefs_for_alloys.Alloy_ID_No >0)
Both queries are working correctly. What is the correct way to join the results? Thanks very much in advance for any info.

From the stickies:
the table structure & column indexes of the relevant tables [via SHOW CREATE TABLE is preferred]It says that posting the structures via SHOW CREATE TABLE is preferred, but not required, so I believe I am in compliance.
Can you be more specific about how to correct the syntax I posted? I have tried moving the AS section into the "SELECT * " area, but I'm still getting the same error. I would really appreciate advice on this, as well as on improved compliance with the stickies.

I'm working on accomplishing this by doing two separate queries, and then joining the results. Something like this...
select * from new_alloys_added_by_users left join ratings_for_fz_scores on new_alloys_added_by_users.Alloy_ID_No = ratings_for_fz_scores.Alloy_ID_No AS NewAlloysAndRatings SELECT * FROM user_prefs_for_alloys JOIN new_alloys_added_by_users ON user_prefs_for_alloys.Alloy_ID_No = new_alloys_added_by_users.Alloy_ID_No WHERE (user_prefs_for_alloys.id = 1) AND (user_prefs_for_alloys.Alloy_ID_No >0) AS UserPrefsAndNewAlloys SELECT * from NewAlloysAndRatings JOIN UserPrefsAndNewAlloys on NewAlloysAndRatings.Alloy_ID_No = UserPrefsAndNewAlloys.Alloy_ID_No
I don't have the syntax for the AS keyword right yet. When I enter:
select * from new_alloys_added_by_users left join ratings_for_fz_scores on new_alloys_added_by_users.Alloy_ID_No = ratings_for_fz_scores.Alloy_ID_No AS NewAlloysAndRatings
...I get this error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AS NewAlloysAndRatings' at line 1
Do you know how I can correct this syntax error by any chance?
-
You may be right. Let me see if I follow. Here's what's going on with the table structure.
"user_prefs_for_alloys" includes one row for each alloy, for each user. I.e. a user can have preferences for the use of any number of alloys. The alloy_id_no indicates which alloy the row contains preferences for.
"new_alloys_added_by_users" contains new alloys entered by users. Each user can enter any number of alloys.
"ratings_for_scores" is where each user can rate any of the alloys by giving it a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
The reason there is a separate table for "user_prefs_for_alloys" is that all users can have preferences for the use of all alloys, whether they are the user who added that particular alloy or not.
Does this make sense? Am I missing something in the table structure that is keeping the mySQL syntax from working as expected?
Thanks very much for your thoughts.

what happens if you try this
Thanks very much for the input. If I try the code you suggested, I only get records where id_of_user_who_provided_this_rating = 1. I do not yet get records for other alloys, which have not yet been rated, with id_of_user_who_provided_this_rating = NULL. How can I correct this?
-
I have 3 tables:
- "new_alloys_added_by_users" includes one record per each alloy added by each user.
- "user_prefs_for_alloys" has multiple records for each user and for each alloy.
- "ratings_for_alloy_scores" has at most one record for each user/alloy combination, but not all alloys are rated by all users.
I want to do a query that will:
- Select all the records from "new_alloys_added_by_users" that are marked as being used by the id of the current user (new_alloys_added_by_users.id).
- Join to each of those records, the record from "user_prefs_for_alloys" for that alloy (user_prefs_for_alloys.alloy_ID_No) and for that user (user_prefs_for_alloys.id = 1 in this example, since 1 is the id of the current user in this example).
- Join to each of these records, the record from "ratings_for_alloy_scores" for that alloy (ratings_for_alloy_scores.alloy_ID_No) as rated by that user (ratings_for_alloy_scores.id_of_user_who_provided_this_rating = 1)... if such a rating is available.
Here's my mySQL query:
SELECT * FROM (new_alloys_added_by_users JOIN user_prefs_for_alloys ON user_prefs_for_alloys.alloy_ID_No = new_alloys_added_by_users.alloy_ID_No) LEFT JOIN ratings_for_alloy_scores ON ratings_for_alloy_scores.alloy_ID_No = new_alloys_added_by_users.alloy_ID_No WHERE (user_prefs_for_alloys.id = 1) AND (ratings_for_alloy_scores.id_of_user_who_provided_this_rating = 1)
This is working, except that it's only giving me records where there is a rating for an alloy in the "ratings_for_alloy_scores" table. I thought a left join would also return records where there was no record in the table being left joined, in this case the "ratings_for_alloy_scores" table, and just mark the fields from the "ratings_for_alloy_scores" table as NULL.
If I remove the line:
AND (ratings_for_alloy_scores.id_of_user_who_provided_this_rating = 1)
...then I get records returned for all ratings by all users, instead of just ratings where ratings_for_alloy_scores.id_of_user_who_provided_this_rating = 1.
What am I missing?
Thanks very much in advance to all for any info!

It's working now. I needed to provide full path info to gnuplot. Code currently being used:
$shellCommmand = "/usr/local/bin/gnuplot '" . $pathToCommandFile . "'";
$output = system($shellCommmand . " 2>&1");
