PHP :: How Can I Auto-save The .pdf?

Save As .doc
I have a HTML page that is created from a database using MYSQL and PHP. I need a way for the user to be able to save this page as a formatted file like a .doc. Is this possible? If yes, can someone point me to a tutorial on this. What would be even better if they could click a button and it would open a word doc. and send the information on the page to the word doc.

Save As...
I use this code to download a file which is on the server to the user, and I need the Save As... dialog, but this code here isn't working corectly and I don't know why. Another example would be great PHP Code:

Save In UTF-8 Format
Did you succeed in solving the UTF-8 format problem regarding saving a text string in PHP for loading in Flash MX? What to do in the PHP file and do I have to do something in Flash MX?

Save As Box Question
My users can pull up some information from the database and view it.
However, I want to give them the option to say "save" and so instead of
displaying it on screen, the script should format the data into a CSV format
and then pop up a box asking them to save it.

Is this something hard to do?

Save Ip Address Into DB
I'm saving ip addresses of blocked visitors into a mySQL DB.
The function with wich i retrieve the address is below this message.

What i wonder is, if it's ok to remove the dots from the ip address,
and only save the numbers into the database. I assume it will be quicker to
compare. But i don't know if it could mess up ip addresses. E.g. confuse
12.34.56.78 with 123.45.6.78

function getIp()
{
if ( isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] ) )
{
return $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
}
else
{
return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
};
};

Why Save Session Id ?
What i would like to know is when I run my test script below, the session id gets saved in a directory on my c drive (the one I entered into my php.ini) such as sess_98xsd564343asw34556ew34543wer432 what is the reason for this ?. Also does this happen if you are using a remote server if so where does it save these session id's?, you could end up with a lot of SID's just wasting space...should i delete them all ?

<?php
session_start();
session_register($s);
session_register($user);
session_register($pass);
$sid = session_id();
Header ("Location: name.php?s=$sid&user=$username&pass=$password");
?>

Save Mode
My provider has set SAFE MODE of ON and I have no chance to change this configuration. But I have to do file-uploads and I have also to create new directories on the server. So when I run scripts which try to do so I now got ugly error-messages like ‘permission denied’ and telling about an UID which is not correct. What can I do to pass an correct UID to allow the operation or how can I ship around the SAFE MODE restriction?

Why Save Sessions?
I've been developing a user login system and have looked at many tutorials. In these tutorials I have noticed that they save the sessions variables, and I don't know why. The idea of saving the sessions variables completely goes against the definition of the word session. It becomes more than a session. If you want to save the user details for the next time they visit the website then would you just not use a cookie?

Sessions Save Path
Okay, so I've decided to start getting my teeth into sessions. I have it all working on a Windows machine - my problem is with my host. They are running FreeBSD and php4.0.1p12.

I cannot get the sessions to work.

They have session.save_path set to /tmp
(This is a shared hosting account ).

The browser does not print any errors when set to this path, but no sessions are stored - possible write protection problem???

I just read that it's not a good idea for shared hosting accounts to use the /tmp directory for security reasons so I have additional interest in saving sessions ID's in a directory at the www level of the server (which I know I have write access to) but it would seem that I am not able to do this.

I have tried setting session_save_path to /home/cad/www/sessions/tmp but it does not seem to allow this -

Warning: open(../sessions/tmp/sess_c96d39600fd77510d595b94a52a4a0ca, O_RDWR) failed: m (13) in /home/cad/www/sessions/page1.php on line 3

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/cad/www/sessions/page1.php:3) in /home/cad/www/sessions/page1.php on line 4

So I'm at a loss.

My host has register.globals is set to On, my windows machine has it set to Off. Can someone explain if this will cause a problem.

I don't see the point of posting the code as it works on one machine and not the other - though the local workstation is not using session_save_path.

Any ideas?

Where Session ID Save On My Computer?
I use session with my page.
My configuration in php.ini like this.

session.save_path= C:PHPsessiondata

I know that session ID save both client and server.
On client save only session ID
On server save both Session ID and Data and I see session file in c:phpsessiondata
but I don't know where it save session ID in client.

becasue not session ID in URL and not cookie on my computer. Where session ID save on my computer?

Save Data Into A Csv File
I have a php page which will enable me to enter several exchange rates. A table has the name of the currency in one cell, and in the next cell is a text box to put in the rate. 3 sets per row. On clicking save. I want the names and text box value saved into a CSV file.

I guess i would place all elements into a form and post it to a php file which would do the actual saving. Should i place all elements into an array and send the array accross and then loop through the array to save the info into a csv file?

GD Image Creation/save
I've successfully written a script to take an image that was uploaded by a user, place a logo ontop of the image, and display it in the browser window.

Now, what I'm having trouble doing is saving the user image with the overlayed logo to a specified directory. Is it not possible for PHP and GD to manipulate a file then save the result to a directory ( and do this without displaying the new image to the user)? Can GD only be used to generate new images on-the-fly?

I Cannot Save Resized Images
I am missing something elementary I think. I am trying to batch resize
the contents of a directory, using imagecreatefromjpg() etc.

I have tried many scripts and I can only seem to corrupt the jpg. My
latest script is this...

<?php
// The file
$filename = ƌ.jpg'

// Set a maximum height and width
$width = 10;
$height = 10;

// Content type
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
//header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=6.jpg");

// Get new dimensions
list($width_orig, $height_orig) = getimagesize($filename);

if ($width && ($width_orig < $height_orig)) {
$width = ($height / $height_orig) * $width_orig;
} else {
$height = ($width / $width_orig) * $height_orig;
}

// Resample
$image_p = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);
imagecopyresampled($image_p, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height,
$width_orig, $height_orig);

// Output
imagejpeg($image_p, $filename, 100);
?>

I am testing it on a single file, but it destroys the image. Does
imagejpeg write the new file in the current directory ? Or do I need to
do an fputs() ?

Save List Of Numbers
i have numbers saved as $data[$i];

What is the best function and way to save jpg images. I have a page that does this now, but when the image is saved, it dithers in 8x8 pixel arrays that degrades the image quality.

Save Executed Php To File!
So Im loading an XML file within a page. I made it dynamic by coding it in PHP and adding a .htaccess so that it executes at a PHP file, well it executed just file, but it didnt work in the page that it was called upon by! so I just grabbed the code from the source (the xml created with the PHP) and saved it as a XML file.

well that is fine for now, but not perfect. I already have the script that makes the XML file, but I want to be able to run it, and when i do it save the output of the PHP to the server as an xml file. Code:

Dynamically Create And Save Php Page
Here is my code:
$filepointer=fopen("http://www.mysite.org/usersetup/newusers/" . $SESSION_UID . "/configsite.php", "w+");

$data = "<? $name = ' . $datatosave. '
?>";

fputs($filepointer, $data);

fclose($filepointer);

My goal is to dynamically create a .php file with the contents of
<? $name = "variable data"; ?>

My code doesn't work. Something with the php page, I think. I and using similar code to populate .txt files with dynamic data, without variables, and it works file. Apparently, a quick change to .php is harder than I thought. I"ve even tried sending a simple line of data to the php page with no luck. Heck, I even tried doing it as a text file and rename to .php but it didn't like my rename.

IMAP: How To Save Attachments Into Files ?

How Do I Get PHP To Save A Backslash In A Mysql Table?
I have a field in which a user inputs a Windows style directory path, hence
using backslashes and not forward slashes.

Example: c:qbdatamydatadile.qbw

However, when the use clicks update, what gets saved is:
c:qbdatamydatadile.qbw

Does anyone know if there is a work around?

The backslashes mysteriously are stripped. I use the following function to
wrap each variable that's saved in the MySQL table:

function update_database($value)
{
// Addslashes
if (!(get_magic_quotes_gpc())) {
$value = addslashes($value);
}
// Quote if not a number or a numeric string
if (!is_numeric($value)) {
$value = mysql_real_escape_string($value);
}
return $value;

ReOrder Result Set, Save A Trip To DB/Srv
I've been using Pear::DB
http://pear.php.net/reference/DB-1.7.6/

I don't know what the best sorting options are; Sure you could
re-query the DB ('order by').

I suppose you could place the $RS in a multi-dim array (in Session) and
re-sort that....

Save/restore Variable Environment
I have the following problem:

At the beginning of my website based on b2Evolution I include a
statistic tool (TrackPro) with the follwowing commands:

session_start();
include 'tpro.php'

In the file "tpro.php" some variables are used. These variables seem
to be used by the b2Evolution files also and therefore they do disturb
each other.

Is there a way to save the content of all variables before entering
the "tpro.php" (or at its beginning) and to restore all content
afterwards so that b2Evolution finds the same environment than before?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I am not a PHP programmer and
only can do some small adjustements in the code.

How Save To PNG 8-bit Single-color Transparancy Using GD2?
(PHP4.3.4, GD2) How can I save a PNG using GD2 and insure that it saves as a
palette-based (8-bit, 256-color) single-color transparancy?? Saving this
way, I could be sure that an image loaded from a transparent gif could be
saved as a png and the png would work in IE versions 5.5 and greater (IE has
bug that messes up png transparancies which use full alpha channel).

Retrieve And Save Mail Attachtments With PHP
I made a funstion that checks a mail account, retrieves and stores the
attachments in a folder on my website.

This works great for .doc files but not for .pdf files.

I am almost sure the problem is in: $fileContent =
imap_base64($fileContent);

Whet is the encoding for PDF attachments?

How To Keep Or Save Some Display Options On Quanta
I'm using Quanta Plus 3.3.1 in Fedora Core 3 for my PHP editing, and
I'm having a problem having it save my program settings.

For example, I select "Show Line Numbers" and "Show Icon Border" and if
I close and reopen the program, they're gone. I've looked all around
for ways to save profile, or save settings, or the like and can't find
anything like that.

What am I missing?

On a less important note, I also can't find a way to cascade the main
window with the left-side windows for Document Structure, Scripts, etc.
When I click on one, it opens a window on top of the main window, and
then becomes completely obscured when I go back to the main window. I
know it's possible, I've seen it set up to allow the left side windows
to have a small constantly open window side-by-side with the main
window. But I've looked all over, and I see no way to do it.
Any pointers on what I'm missing,

Save And Send Remote Files
I need to email linked files to email recipients, how would I
accomplish this?

I tried to download the remote file to the webserver and then attach
it to a new email message but the downloaded file headers seem to be

files).

Could somebody help me in reading and writing the remote file to disc?
The rest should be easy...

Save Data Not Variables In A File
I am try to save the "values" of variables from a file (template.php) to
another file (tmp.txt).

$value = "12345";

template.php
<?php
The answer is $value. //When viewing the file, I see 12345.
?>

tmp.txt
The answer is 12345. This is what I am trying to do.

The answer is $value. This is the results of the following script.

When I write the data to tmp.txt, the variable is copied, not the
value of the variable.

How do I write (save) the results of the template.php in tmp.txt?

<?php
$url_read = $_SESSION['folder_dir']."template.php";
$url_write = $_SESSION['folder_dir'].'tmp.txt'

$f_r = file($url_read);
$read_file = fopen($url_read, "r");

$f_w = file($url_write);
$write_file = fopen($url_write, "wb");
foreach($f_r as $line) {
fwrite($f_w,$line);
}
fclose($read_file);
fclose($write_file);

Dl File From Remote URL And Save On Server
I have code using fopen and fread etc that I can tweak, and that I've been tweaking for a while now that will read an image from a specific URL and save on on my server. However, it isn't 100% bug proof and I can foresee problems occuring in the future.

Is there a function or method that will simply download an image/file from a specific remote url and save it to a specific file on my server?

Browser Wants To Open Or Save My Php Files
I am using Apache Server 2.45, PHP 5.1.1 and Win XP sp2. When I make a test file like test.php and try to open it in Internet Explorer or Fire Fox, it asks if I want to open or save the file. I have modified the httpd.conf doc in Apache by adding the lines AddType application/x-httpd-php .php and AddType application/x-httpd-source-php .phps.

I have added LoadModule php5 "c:/php/php5apache2.dll. I have put the path to PHP in the windows. Placed the php.ini in the Windowssystem directory as well as the Winnt directory. With Apache server running I can type localhost and it show the apache success page, the later I tested a HTML page and it worked. I deleted the PHP program and reinstalled several times.
