DeanWhitehouse Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Ok, so i have decided to rewrite my random avatar code and has not worked at all., lol. So here is my problem, when i first ran the code it caused a 500 internal server error, then i found that a function named random_check was causing this and further debugging showed that $avatar_count and $_SESSION['num']; are not defined. So i have tried to fix it and cannot find why its not working, any help is appreciated. <?php /** *Page to show a different avatar each time * * *@package Avatar Randomness *@author Dean Whitehouse (aka Blade280891) - deanwhitehouse6@hotmail.com - http://www.djw-designs.com - http://www.djw-webdesign.awardspace.com */ session_start(); if(isset($_SESSION['random']))// check for the session that contains the random number then unset it. { unset($_SESSION['random']); /* Unset the session that stores the random image reference number, for more info; The php manual, http://uk.php.net/unset */ } $_SESSION['random'] = Generate_Random(); /* Generate a new number for the image reference number */ if(!isset($_SESSION['num'])) { $_SESSION['num'] = $_SESSION['random']; } /* Begin sessions, for more info visit either: The php manual, http://uk.php.net/session or my sites tutorial on using sessions to protect pages, http://djw-webdesign.awardspace.com/code.php?snippet=9 */ $avatar_resize = 50; //The amount , in percent, to resize the avatar /* Stored the amount to resize the avatar by in a variable, for more info visit; Php manual, http://uk3.php.net/language.variables */ /* Uncomment these lines to change the image using set widths and heights, only un comment one to keep the image aspect ratio $new_width = 128;//In pixels $new_height = 264;//In pixels */ $avatars = array ( "http://spearbang.awardspace.com/Sonic-animated.gif", "http://spearbang.awardspace.com/Tails-salutes.gif", "http://spearbang.awardspace.com/Sonic-and-Shadow-transform.gif", "http://spearbang.awardspace.com/Knuckles2.gif" ); /* Store the avatars in an array, for more info on arrays visit; The php manual, http://uk3.php.net/array or my site, http://djw-webdesign.awardspace.com/code.php?snippet=8 */ $avatar_count = count($avatars); ########################################### ################- Functions -#################### ########################################### /** *Function to generate the avatar image. * *Selects an image, resizes the image and then sends the image and headers to the browser *@return string image */ function Generate_Image() { return Resize_Image($avatars[$_SESSION['random']]); } /** *Function to resize the image. * *Resizes the inputted image *@param string image url *@return string new image url */ function Resize_Image($image) { $current_image = $image; $image_type = Get_Image_Type($current_image); echo $image_type; //http://uk.php.net/switch switch($image_type) { case "jpg" || "jpeg": $new_image = imagecreatefromjpeg($current_image); break; case "gif": $new_image = imagecreatefromgif($current_image); break; case "png": $new_image = imagecreatefrompng($current_image); break; case "bmp": $new_image = imagecreatefromwbmp($current_image); break; default: $new_image = imagecreatefromgif($current_image); } // Capture the original size of the uploaded image list($width,$height) = getimagesize($new_image); if(isset($new_width) || isset($new_height)) { if(isset($new_width) && !isset($new_height) || $new_height < 1) { $new_width = ($new_width < 1 ?

Maq Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Do $new_height and $new_width echo out valid dimensions? Here are some solutions other people found with a similar problem drupal. Check the permissions on the folder where the images are uploaded. Hope these will work, sorry I don't have a definite answer, good luck Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/143965-random-avatar-code-nothing-working/#findComment-755456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanWhitehouse Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 No, $new_width echos 0 $width,$height and $new_height don't print anything , i assume they are not being set. The image is not being saved to the folder.

Brian W Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 May I suggest that you add this to your script: ........ function Resize_Image($image) { if(is_file($image)){ $current_image = $image; } else { die("$image is not a valid file"); } ..........

DeanWhitehouse Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Yep that kills the page, which it shouldn't, because the image link is fine Edit; according to my error reporting $avatars and $avatar_count are not defined :s Surely i don't need to pass them to the function via an argument?

premiso Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Surely i don't need to pass them to the function via an argument? You sure do, it is all about the "scope". You could store them in session or make them global. <?php function test() { echo $a; // should echo nothing } function test2($a) { echo $a; // should echo out $a } function test3() { global $a; echo $a; // should echo out $a } global $a; $a = "test<br />"; test(); test2($a); test3(); ?> Hope that helps you to understand better. EDIT: For more information google or look in the PHP Manual for "Variable Scope" it should do a better explanation than I can give.

premiso Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 You may want to look at the first exampled at the GD -> imagecreatefromgif Man Page. imagecreatefromgif frank at huddler dot com 05-Jan-2009 11:11 I wrote two alternate versions of ZeBadger's is_ani() function, for determining if a gif file is animated Original: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatefromgif.php#59787 The first alternative version is just as memory intensive as the original, and more CPU intensive, but far simpler: <?php function is_ani($filename) { return (bool)preg_match('#(\x00\x21\xF9\x04.{4}\x00\x2C.*){2,}#s', file_get_contents($filename)); } ?> The second alternative is about as CPU intensive as the original function, but uses less memory (and may also result in less disk activity) <?php function is_ani($filename) { if(!($fh = @fopen($filename, 'rb'))) return false; $count = 0; //an animated gif contains multiple "frames", with each frame having a //header made up of: // * a static 4-byte sequence (\x00\x21\xF9\x04) // * 4 variable bytes // * a static 2-byte sequence (\x00\x2C) // We read through the file til we reach the end of the file, or we've found // at least 2 frame headers while(!feof($fh) && $count < 2) $chunk = fread($fh, 1024 * 100); //read 100kb at a time $count += preg_match_all('#\x00\x21\xF9\x04.{4}\x00\x2C#s', $chunk, $matches); fclose($fh); return $count > 1; } ?> Hopefully that helps you out. EDIT: I do not think it will.

DeanWhitehouse Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 I have already seen that lol, i suppose that you was trying to say that yes it is because of recreating the file, and with that function below glancing over it it will just find out if the file is an animation and tell you how many frames and not a way to recreate them.
