Content-type: Image/gif (or /jpg Or /png) Not Working.
I'm having a seriously difficult time trying to get to the bottom of why I can't serve an image that I have saved in a database. I'm using a regular HTML form to upload the image, then grabbing the data and saving it to db (BLOB type)... retrieval generally works like:

/*
get image data info, save to array $d
*/
Header("Content-Type: image/gif");
echo $d["image_content"]; // image data from db

This results in:
The image "<SCRIPT NAME>" cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

This approach has worked many times for me in the past, but for some reason (on a new client's server) it's not working. Server is running Apache 1.3.34 and PHP 5.1.2.

Just a note, I am able to read the info from the db, save it to an external file with appropriate suffix (i.e., ".gif" for a Gif89a), and then point the browser to it and it displays fine.... it seems to me something is wrong with how the server is parsing or accepting the header, but I can't find any documentation on a possible fix.

Input Type=image Value Not Passed
I know this is really an HTML question, but a bunch of <i>designers</i> are not going to know the answer to this (yes, I know some programmers hang out there as well).

Anyway, does the input type 'image' not support a value??? I've got the typical form with two input types and the client wanted to change the buttons to images. No problem. But now my script doesn't work and I checked and the values assigned to the images are not being passed when the image is clicked. Is this normal or am I missing something?
AND, if it IS normal, how do I work around it???

Simple Image Type Array Problem
Rather simple problem but I can't seem to get it solved. The second index of GetImageSize() just gives me integers which represent filetypes (i.e. 1 => GIF, 2 => JPG, etc.). What I want to do is create an array or somehow when I print $imagehw[2], the second index which displays the integers, I want it to display the filenames as opposed to the integer. Below I tried creating an array but all the output I get is, "array".

BTW, $id is defined previously.

I've tried php.net but I don't really understand their explanations and furthermore, nothing there really addresses my problems. The search here for previous posts on this subject resulted nothing significant.

Code:
<?php
$imagehw = GetImageSize("images/$id");
$imagewidth = $imagehw[0];
$imageheight = $imagehw[1];
$imagetype = $imagehw[2];
$imagetype = array (".gif"=>"1",
".jpg"=>"2",
".jpeg"=>"2",
".png"=>"3",
".swf"=>"4",
".psd"=>"5",
".bmp"=>"6");

print "<b>Filename</b>: $id<br>";
print "<b>Image Filetype</b>: $imagetype<br>";
print "<b>Image Width</b>: $imagewidth<br>";
print "<b>Image Height</b>: $imageheight<br>";

?>

Image Upload - Verify File Type Help
Im having trouble getting this to work, i want to validate that the uploaded image ($picture) is a gif or jpeg.

$allowed = array ('image/gif', 'image/jpeg', 'image/jpg');
if (in_array($_FILES['picture']['type'], $allowed))
{
$errors['picture2'] = 'Please ensure the image is a JPEG or GIF.'

Image Upload Wrong File Type
I make an image, save it as a bmp. If I change the file  extention to a .jpg it changes.

My site allows for uploads of jpg, gif, and png. Since the above is actually a bmp, and some one tries to upload it with the jpg file extention, I get this error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatefrombmp() in /home/.marble/ryannaddy/tzfiles.com/guestLoad.php(11) : eval()'d code on line 1

How can I stop that error from showing, and make my own error message saying somthing about it still being a bmp file, or exe, or html, etc. and only jpg, gif, and png are allowed? Code:

Format Of HTML GET And Input Type Image
I am trying to achieve something very simple (I think), but hitting hurdles with HTML code. My current code:

form  method = "GET" action="http://abc.test.com/register" >
<input type="image" name= "val"  value="foobar" src="elements/epayments.gif"
style="width:168px"  >
</form>

And the idea is that when I click the (image) button, I want it to invoke:

http://abc.test.com/register?val=foorbar.

Imagejpeg Generating String Not Image Even With Header("Content-type:image/jpeg")

$_POST Behavior From Input=submit Vs Input-type=button
I have been trying to solve an annoying behavior with PHP (I think).
Maybe some of you have encountered the same and have some ideas.

I have an html form and I use an <input type="button"> element with
the onClick event that calls a javascript funtion. Once the script's
content has been processed, I execute the form.submit() directive.

I would like to combine the html form and the PHP script into one, and
use action="<?php echo($PHP_SELF) ?>".

When the html form has <input type="button" name="theButton"
value="thisisthetrigger" onclick="doThis(this.form)">but PHP cannot
'read' the value of $_POST["theButton"] after form.submit().

If I substitute the <input type="button"> for <input type="submit">
then PHP reads the value just fine. Some may argue to just use the
latter option, but that will cost me a trip back to the server to
basically do a lot of validation that can be very easily accomplished
on the client side.

Does Anyone Declare A Different Data Type On Every Input In A Form?
I'm trying to read up on the rfc's that govern form inputs. Much of
what I'm reading is stuff I didn't know before and some of it is
alarming. This one left with me questions:

Is this (below) addressed to me as a web designer, or is this
addressed to the makers of web browsers? Identifying the type of file
being uploaded seems way outside of my scope as a PHP coder. Am I
suppose to make clear the expected type of content when I design a
form? Off hand, I can only think of two things that every go into an
HTML form: strings and binary data. Should I actually label every
INPUT with the expected type (does anyone do this?), or can I assume
the makers of web browsers have already done that for me? My PHP form
code is fairly concise, so I could add in mime/text rather easily, but
is it necessary? Surely the browser knows that everything save binary
files is a string?

They wrote:

3.3 use of multipart/form-data

The definition of multipart/form-data is included in section 7. A
boundary is selected that does not occur in any of the data. (This
selection is sometimes done probabilisticly.) Each field of the form
is sent, in the order in which it occurs in the form, as a part of
the multipart stream. Each part identifies the INPUT name within
the
original HTML form. Each part should be labelled with an appropriate
content-type if the media type is known (e.g., inferred from the
file
extension or operating system typing information) or as
application/octet-stream.

They give the example below. Am I right to say that I don't need to
think about any of this, that the web browser does all this
automatically? The browser figures out that file2.gif is a gif image
that needs to be sent with a the header Content-type: image/gif, yes?

If the user also indicated an image file "file2.gif" for the answer
to 'What files are you sending?', the client might client might
send
back the following data:

Content-type: multipart/form-data, boundary=AaB03x

--AaB03x
content-disposition: form-data; name="field1"

Joe Blow
--AaB03x
content-disposition: form-data; name="pics"
Content-type: multipart/mixed, boundary=BbC04y

--BbC04y
Content-disposition: attachment; filename="file1.txt"

Content-Type: text/plain

... contents of file1.txt ...
--BbC04y
Content-disposition: attachment; filename="file2.gif"
Content-type: image/gif
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary

...contents of file2.gif...
--BbC04y--
--AaB03x--

If I wanted to send multiple
files as part of a form input, how would I use the multipart/mixed
header, or the "content-transfer-encoding" header? Can anyone point me
to an example, so I might have a better chance of understanding this?

As with all multipart MIME types, each part has an optional
"Content-Type", which defaults to text/plain. If the contents of a
file are returned via filling out a form, then the file input is
identified as the appropriate media type, if known, or
"application/octet-stream". If multiple files are to be returned
as
the result of a single form entry, they should be represented as a
"multipart/mixed" part embedded within the "multipart/form-data".

Each part may be encoded and the "content-transfer-encoding" header
supplied if the value of that part does not conform to the default
encoding.

Problems Sending Arrays By Form When Type=checkbox
I have a problem when I try to send an array using a form when
the type="checkbox".

This is my form input row:

<INPUT type="Checkbox" name="flg[]" value="y" <? if($row['flag'] ==
'y') echo 'CHECKED' ?>>

Since this is an update form, I set the status of the flg[] according
to the field "flag" stored in a MySQL database. The user may check or
uncheck each of the checkboxes on the form.

This form is sent to another PHP file with other fileds of type
<SELECT> and type="Text". Here's the code which process the checkbox
input:

$max_i = count($flg);
for($i=0;$i<$max_i;$i++)
{
if($flg[$i] == 'y')
{
$flag = 'y'
}
else
{
$flag = 'n'
}
echo $i.'-->'.$flg[$i].'-->'.$flag.'<BR>'
}

I have no problems processing the array associated with the SELECT
and "Text" fileds, but when I try using the Checkbox, this is what I
receive:

0-->y-->y
1-->y-->y
2-->y-->y
3-->y-->y
4-->y-->y
5-->y-->y

Trying with this other code:

$num_of_checkbox_fileds = 12;

for($i=0;$i<$num_of_checkbox_fileds;$i++)
{
if($flg[$i] == 'y')
{
$flag = 'y'
}
else
{
$flag = 'n'
}
echo $i.'-->'.$flg[$i].'-->'.$flag.'<BR>'
}

I receive this output:

0-->y-->y
1-->y-->y
2-->y-->y
3-->y-->y
4-->y-->y
5-->y-->y
6-->-->n
7-->-->n
8-->-->n
9-->-->n
10-->-->n
11-->-->n

Show Stored Value For Form Field Type=file
I have a file-uploading form to uploads a .jpg file and stores its name in a table in my db as co_bannerfile. I'm trying to now write an update form so the user can update their .jpg file. I've successfully written a query to retrieve the stored file's name.

How can I display the stored file's name so the user can see its name within the input TYPE="file" field and then decide to update it or not? The following doesn't display the stored file name. What do I have wrong? Code:

Losing $_POST Data With Input Type="image"
I am having problems with a php script that I am developing. I have a file called "login.php". It contains an HTML form with a username and password field, and is submitted with an image.

Here is a simplified version of my form:

<form name="form1" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post">
<input type="text" size="20" maxlength="50" class="text" name="uname">
<input type="password" size="20" maxlength="12" class="text" name="passwd">
<input type="image" src="images/b-login.jpg" border="0" name="submit">
</form>

As you can see, the script calls itself. However, when I try to access $_POST['uname'] and $_POST['password'], they do not exist.

If I replace the line

<input type="image" src="images/b-login.jpg" border="0" name="submit">

with

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login">

everything works fine. I need to use this image to submit my form, not the standard "Submit" button. Any ideas on what the problem is?

Input Type="image" $_POST Queries
I'm trying to set up a 'control panel' consisting of a table of icons.

The early stages: http://www.deepinit.com/controlcentre.php

Each of these is set up like:

<td>
<input type="image" id="addnews" src="/Image/add24.png"
name="addnews" value="addnews" width="24" height="24"><br />
<label for="addnews">Add News Item</label><br />
</td>

This is all taking place in a html form and I'm using input
type="image"... like 'submit' buttons.

Is this a 'good' approach?

I'm trying to handle the $_POST variable after a user clicks on one of
these but there are differences between firefox and ie6.

Using:
foreach ($_POST as $key=>$val) {
echo $key ."|". $val . "<br />";
}

ie6 is only listing
addnews_x|8
addnews_y|17

Firefox:
addnews_x|10
addnews_y|13
addnews|addnews

Why am I getting x and y co-ordinates?

Why in firefox do I get $val ('addnews|addnews') but not in ie6?

What I'm trying to do is redirect to other pages based on $_POST:

foreach ($_POST as $key=>$val) {
switch (strtolower($key)) {
case 'addnews_x':
PostHandler('addnews', 'news', '/posteditor.php');
break;
case 'editnews_x':
PostHandler('editnews', 'news', '/postsearch.php');
break;
case 'deletenews_x':
PostHandler('deletenews', 'news', '/postsearch.php');
break;
...

function PostHandler($command, $post_type, $redir_page) {
$_SESSION['ctlcentcmd'] = $command;
$_SESSION['posttype'] = $post_type;

ob_end_clean();
header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
. $redir_page);
}

This is working but I'm not happy basing this on the x co-ordinate
(eg addnews_x). Surely there must be a better way?

If you wanted to implement a similar icon based 'Control Centre' what
approach would you take? The intent is to have a single page where the
site admin can add/edit/delete news, articles, bios, user data, etc

PHP Form Submission <input Type="hidden"> Security Issues?
Someone has said to me that when using a form (method = post), that storing data in "hidden" tags

ie <input type="hidden" name="myField" value="something">
means that the user can set the value to whatever they like

So my questions are:

1.  How would they do this
2.  How can I stop it
3.  Do I have to abandon the hidden values and go with sessions?

$error = 1;
$error_msg .= "<li>The file type you are uploading is not allowed. Compress all files ".
"into ONE (1) archive with StuffIt or WinZip. As an alternative you may ".
"create a PDF file to upload. Consult your software documentation ".
"for more information.

Get Type Of Index
is there a way (function) whereby I could get hold of a particular table index type?

New Type Of CAPTCHA
It's a different approach against stopping bots... I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

1. make a form with all your fields.

2. add an extra text field, this field will be the same color as you background, along with borders and the whole nine yards.

3. When a person views the page, he/she will not see the text field so they won't fill it in, but on the other hand a robot will see the field and fill it out.

4. When doing a data check instead of checking your image, you would check to see if the field is filled in or not.

5. If it is filled in then it probably is a robot, if not then it probably is a living breathing person.

So what do you think?  I heard that this is common among larger web companies.

Obtaining O.S Type
Is there a way to obtain what operating system a user is using when they register to my site without them giving the info which would mean they could lie. Similar to how you get their ip but with operating systems?

The reason why is cos multiple accounts i want to allow as long as the two accounts are not on the same OS which adds extra proof they they may be "brothers and sisters" etc with two computers.

If they cheat for example and say "hes my brother he is on a different pc in a different room.." i want to find a way to get enough info to prove it.. cos my fear is banning people who ain't lying.. cos there are bound to be instances... i just want to keep it as fair as possible.

PHP 4.3.0 Gd Bundle With Free Type 2.5.1

Determine The Type Of A File (gif Or Jpg)
I've written a very basic CMS using a PHP database thing (no MySQL). It lets me update a list of 5 descriptive texts, each relating to an image which is shown next to the text.

<tr><td><img src="images/Picture2.jpg"></td></tr>
<tr><td><img src="images/Picture3.jpg"></td></tr>
<tr><td><img src="images/Picture4.gif"></td></tr>
<tr><td><img src="images/Picture5.gif"></td></tr>

which is very inelegant as I have to repeat all the information.

Variable Type Detection?
Is there a way for PHP to tell where a variable came from? Like for example if it was in something like: index.php?getpage=moo

of if it was set inside the php it self or in from form data or whatever. Basically the idea is to keep the user from screwing around when I don't want them to.

Trouble With SoapVar Or Is It Xsi:Type?
I'm pretty sure what I'm up against now is a namespace issue and/or a
misunderstanding of how to use SoapVar.

From the NetSuite docs, the request should look something like:

<soapenv:Body>
<search xmlns="urn:messages_2_5.platform.webservices.netsuite.com ">
<searchRecord xsi:type="ns1:ContactSearch"
xmlns:ns1="urn:relationships_2_5.lists.webservices.netsuite.c om">
<ns1:customerJoin xsi:type="ns2:CustomerSearchBasic"
xmlns:ns2="urn:common_2_5.platform.webservices.netsuite.com">
<ns2:internalId operator="anyOf"
xsi:type="ns3:SearchMultiSelectField"
xmlns:ns3="urn:core_2_5.platform.webservices.netsuite.com">
<ns3:searchValue internalId="1" type="customer"
xsi:type="ns3:RecordRef"/ >
</ns2:internalId>
</ns1:customerJoin>
</searchRecord>
</search>
</soapenv:Body>

But using SoapVar and SoapClient, what I'm actually requesting looks
like:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
envelope/"
xmlns:ns1="urn:messages_2_5.platform.webservices.netsuite.com ">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:search>
<customerJoin>
<internalId>
<operator>anyOf</operator>
<searchValue>1</searchValue>
</internalId>
</customerJoin>
</ns1:search>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

The code to do so looks something along the lines of:

$ssr = new SOAPContactSearch();
$ssr->customerJoin = new SOAPCustomerSearchBasic(); $ssr->customerJoin-
