How do I code a persistent connection with mysqli and PHP? I know back in mysql it was mysqli_pconnect, what is it for mysqli? Please do not refer to this page (http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.persistconns.php) as it gives no example and makes little sense. Many thanks in advance.

someone must have an idea about this?

Hi guys, quick question. Now I have a PHP project, now the best way to protect this project is to sell it bundled with managed hosting (by me). Now problem is I want to be able to offer LDAP authentication (starting to see my problem? ), anyway I thought if I had the purchaser place a PHP page (login form) on their website hosting which people would put details in and would authentication (through a local LDAP function) and then send the username etc via HTTPS to my site and then redirect (due to login) as necessary. Would this work? Could it work? Would it be secure? And would it allow login to my site and not allow forced login (that is not using the form etc). So many thanks in advance.

no one?

Not entirely sure if this is the right place for this to go but anyway ... Firstly how reliable is Zend Guard at protecting your PHP? Is it "easily" bypassed/hacked/etc? And secondly if the hosting company does not have Zend Guard Loader does bundling Zend Guard Loader into the application help? (http://www.zend.com/en/products/guard/faq) Thanks in advance CMRS

BUMP

This line of PHP mysqli::__construct($CFG->dbhost, $CFG->dbuser, $CFG->dbpass, $CFG->dbname); returns Why does it do this? I want to use the OOP MySQLi methods in PHP and NO procedural PHP

Has anyone used bcompiler? http://php.net/manual/en/book.bcompiler.php Is it simple enough and does it really protect your code? Thanks in advance.

Okay then can someone please provide a link to a tutorial or source code that will achieve what I want. Thanks in advance

haku thanks, BUT this does not make all the elements (<LI>) within a <ul> space out to consume an entire width (e.g. 500px)

How can I automatically space out items <li> so they evenly spread out in a specified width (e.g. 500px)? Thanks in advance

How about code which will read an interpret pre printed digits located in a certain spot? Anyone know of PHP code which can do that?

Okay I will look into it, in the meantime anyone else if you could post suggestions. Oh and PS it is processing images in the background as a cron style process so it needs to do it for that.

Hi guys, to compliment my ORM. On the multiple choice sheets which are scanned into images and then interpreted with the OMR thier is a barcode (like the ones on stuff you buy from the shops), this barcode contains digits to decide the layout of the sheet and how to run the OMR. How can I get PHP to read and understand the barcode. The barcode is originally generated by PHP and now I need PHP to read it and convert to numbers which then I run against mySQL db to enable the OMR to read correctly. If anyone can suggest a script or method or even a different way to tackle the issue it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Actually while I am here, I am after one which will read printed bar-codes, as in these answer sheets have an identifying bar code, so it needs to read it and get the digits, any ideas how? Anyone know of any code? or another way I can do it?

i'll give it a go, and if you dont here from me again on it consider it solved :-D Thanks all for the help, esp to litebearer

Needs to be something with a load of if statements and check if between certain x and y regions their is shading. So any ideas how to do that?

yes we can do svg I believe. So how would I go about it in the case of SVG then?

Okay so this is the process: 1) User shades the bubbles in the paper forms 2) I collect all the forms and place them in my scanner 3) They all become images (any form I am flexible on this point) stored in a folder 4) I then need PHP classes and scripts to run as a cron (or when manually set) to "read" all the images and decide on the bubbles shaded. It needs to be a PHP version of this http://www.codeproject.com/KB/showcase/SimpleOMRDotImage.aspx. As in the templates and reading the data.

No idea which is why I am asking :-D

Hi guys I am looking for a PHP or whatever script which will analyse a scanned in page (in now image format) and count and record to the DB which bubbles were shaded. Like a multiple choice sheet ... sort of. Any suggestions greatly appreciated, it mainly the reading of the bubbles I need help with. Thanks codingmasterRS
