Random Background Image
I'm designing a site that needs to do the following: Select randomly from a series of about 5 different background images Store the selected image name in a session variable I'm pretty sure that I can setup it's selecting randomly from images and storing it in a session variable. The thing I can't figure out is how I should execute it most efficiently. Will it work to do a php file include of the php file that has the code.

Random Background In PHP
Not sure if this can be done in PHP but I'm looking at giving users an option to choose a background image from a list ie when they click on a url it changes. If you click on the links to change of scene on the left hand column, you'll hopefully see what I mean. Can this be done in PHP? I've tried googling it, searching on various forums but can't seem to find anything..

Random Text & Background Colors?
Is there a way to generate colour hex strings that are guaranteed to be dark and thus good as random-generated text colours? something like ------------------- srand((double)microtime()*1000000); function tc() { $frag = range(0,6); $text = "#"; for ($i = 1; $i <= 6; $i++) { $text = $text . $frag[mt_rand(0, count($frag)-1)]; } return $text; } $text = tc(); -------------------- is what I have in mind.... but I really don't know how the hex codes for rgb realte to "darkness" And while I'm on the subject, whats the converse (for pale colours, for backgrounds) look like?

Background Image Load Problem
I have a table with a large background image: <table style='background-image: url(images/eagle_country_large.jpg); ..'> The problem is that everything on the page loads except there is a big delay with the loading of the image. It's not like a regular image loading. Somehow it looks like the page is finished, then a delay, and then the background picture appears. It's even worse on a dialup connection. Code:

Random Image W/ PHP5
My server host just upgraded to PHP5 and mySQL5. Unfortunately this means it broke a few scripts that were working so I need a new method to get the same effect. I was using rid.php (random image script) that was fairly simple. I drop it into a directory with images, then link to it and it will pull the images up in the directory. There was never any need for me to update the script when I added images, I just needed to add the images to the directory. Code:

Choose Random Image From Dir And Display It
I have a directory of images, called "random". In it are the following files: 1.gif 2.gif 3.gif 4.gif I use this script to choose a random image and display it: $i = -2; // $i = -2 so that the directory files ("." and "..") won't be counted. if ( $dh = opendir( "images/random" ) ) { while ( false !== ( $file = readdir( $dh ) ) ) { $i++; } closedir( $dh ); $rand = rand( 1, $i ); $randimg = '<img src="images/random/' . $rand . '.gif" />' } print $randimg; This works just dandy. However, I figure there must be a more efficient way to count the number of files in a directory. Is there a directory's equivalent of a function like file()? Or is my script the only way to count the files?

In Background
Here's my situation. I'm creating a website (basically a store) and in the admin section users will want to download zip files of images or products added in the last 7 days, last 2 weeks and the last month. I have scripted a cron to run every 24 hours to zip all the images and this process takes over 1 minute (there's over 6,000 images!!) and the size of this is 250MB. This has now taken me to my quota on my webspace of 500MB (including all the individual images) I have decided the only way to do this is dynamically create the zip when the user requests it. As PHP times out after 30 seconds it needs to do it's stuff in the background and display a message saying something like' We'll email you with the zip file in 5 minutes or so'.

Run In The Background?

Is there a way to use include or fopen or anything along those lines, to have it execute my file in the background; without having the file that's executing it waiting for it to finish its thing? Or to have the expected output redirected to another file (as mentioned in http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php)?

Run A Php In The Background Using Http
i have a script (script1) which needs to call another script (script2). It should not wait for the answer, so script2 should run in the background. I really need to call the php script using: http://urlof myscript/script2.php I don't want to use it as a cgi and use CLI. I did a test with fsockopen and curl and a timeout of 10 seconds and call http://urlof myscript/script1.php from my browser: Script1 stops after 10 seconds => OK Script2 has been called by script1 and continue to run in the background =>OK After 60 seconds Script2 is killed by php!! => KO :( The script is working fine if i call http://urlof myscript/script2.php from my browser. It needs around 120 seconds to finish. Why is it stopping after 60 seconds when I use fsockopen and call it from script1? Here is the script in SCRIPT1: $fp = fsockopen("$host", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30); stream_set_timeout($fp,10); if (!$fp) { echo "$errstr ($errno)<br /> "; } else { $out = "GET $path HTTP/1.1 "; $out .= "Host: $host "; $out .= "Connection: Close "; fwrite($fp, $out); $status = socket_get_status($fp); while (!feof($fp) && !$status['timed_out']) { echo fgets($fp, 128); $status = socket_get_status($fp); } fclose($fp); } I have added this in SCRIPT2: ignore_user_abort(FALSE); // becareful, FALSE really means it should ignore user abort !!! set_time_limit (120); ini_set("max_input_time",120); ini_set("max_execution_time",120); Do you have any idea?

A Way To Get Current Background?
I have several websites running on a global script. Some pages, the backgrounds black, other, white. Sometimes people have the taste of posting black font on a black background, or white font on a white background. What I wanted is to know if theres a way to 'check' the current background color? Because I can then add in the script to 'change' any incorrect colors before posting. I'm not sure if theres a way for PHP to tap into CSS and check, but it would be alot easier to change the global script since its *Checking* for the background color rather then me do it per site and change it manually.

How can this php (from the background, with no web browser opened) call (trigger) another php? please note that I'm not talking about include. I need that the background php gives control to ANOTHER php url . per what I tested the php 'header' command does not work and obviously also any javascript redirection cannot work because there is no web browser opened. so, finally, how can that php running in background call another php url?
