Does PHP Support Ancillary Chunks In PNG Images (background Color)


I want to create 24 bit PNG image files (red, green, blue, alpha) with PHP -- that's easy enough.

However, I would like to include a background color value as well, as a default. The Wikipedia article for PNG images states that PNG includes "ancillary" chunks, one of which is the background value: Code:

Color Background Cell Color Per Row
I am trying to create a display page for my database records, where each display-row has a different color than the previous one. I think I can do that if I where able to get the rownumber of the recordset. Than for each 'even' number I asign a color, and for each 'uneven' number a different one. Code:

Set Background Color
I am designing with flash and am sending variables on the end of a url to a php document which also contains a swf - I want to tell the php file what color to make the background in the html section I have:-

<body bgcolor="<?php echo $bgcol">>

I've tried moving the quote marks around but nothing seems to work - I also use php in the title and that is working fine - is it because it is inside a tag or something or do I have the wrong syntax?

Imagerotate(), Producing A Black Background Color

But on rotation using imagerotate(), it is producing a black background color.

Inserting Large Chunks
I am trying to insert/update large chunks of data in mysql. I just ran a test UPDATE query (40,000 word document into a largetext field), and got this error:

Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet'

What is the best way to handle this? Do I need to modify my mysql gonfiguration to allow larger packets? Or should I check for packets of a certain side with php, and if too large break them up an append the data into the field? Also, is mysql going to be able to handle a large nember of users at once doing UPDATE queries, or am I going to run into locking issues? Would it be better te have each UPDATE be a new select?

Put Together Oracle BLOB Chunks
I'm trying to view an image stored as a BLOB in an Oracle database. The blob is split up into segments in the table.

If the file is less than 10kb it only uses one segment, and I have no problem retrieving this file, however when the file is split up into more chunks, I don't know how to put it back together.

I believe I have to somehow use the OCI-Lob->setBuffering() or OCI-Lob->append() functions, but I can't get it to work right. There is very limited information on how to use these functions.

How To Read Uploaded File In Chunks Using PHP?
I need to read an uploaded file into chunks, so I can examine the acculative size between chunks to

I want to allow, and with that function I don't have an opportunity to determine that until the

Generating A Page In Time-delayed Chunks?
Is there anyway of getting these 'sleeps' and 'echos' up to the client, so that a page is generated in timed stages. The code below might give a better idea of what I mean.. Rather than have the whole lot run on the server (sleeps and all) followed by a single http header with a big lump of HTML, I would like each chunk to be sent up seperately in a time delayed manner and appended to the current content in the browser. My (feeble) guess is that I need to send an http header with each one, but what do I put in it?

<?php
if($whatever){
$total = ($one + $two);
echo "<br><br><b>I'm having a snooze</b><br>";
for($i=0;$i<5;$i++){
echo "<br>$i<br>";
sleep (1);}

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'.

I am trying to run a php executable (GTK) from a browser... now exec() does the job, but the browser hangs waiting for the .exe I have just called to finish, I assume so it can 'report back' to exec(),

any ideas how I can get around this ? - I have tried backticks,passthru,system,exec - all with the same results, i.e. they all expect a returned value and sit around waiting for it. This is a windows app so /dev/null wont help & it is not a CGI with output I can dump anyway.

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.

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?
