Knowledge Base - .NET, C#, SQL Server 2005, PHP and Actionscript 2.0 / 3.0 etc

Safe mode… humm - not the place to do it I think at PHP / application level. If it has got that far then you are a little buggered!

Anywho - you can force it with an ini_set() but not the best idea. - Once again I find PHP a ball ache- get me back to Java or C# please……..

God I hate php….

Then (summarized from readme.txt for a simple setup, have a look at it if you want to know more):

• download the latest version, unzip and upload the Ibrowser files to tiny_mce\plugins\ibrowser
• select the one, 2 or more directories you want to be able to insert images from and and upload to and indicate them with easy to understand names (that will show up in the interface) in config/config.inc.php:
  
$cfg['ilibs'] = array (
array (
‘value’ => ‘/path/from/webroot/images/’,
‘text’ => ‘Sprekers’,
),
array (
‘value’ => ‘/path/from/webroot/gallery/’,
‘text’ => ‘Sponsors’,
),
);

• chmod these directories and additionally the directories ibrowser/scripts/phpThumb/cache and ibrowser/temp to 755 or 777 (depending on the privileges your webserver has - try with 755 first if you’re not sure)
• copy tinyMCE.editor_plugin.js file into the iBrowser plugin directory and rename it to “editor_plugin.js”
• somewhere in an included or inline javascript, you should have the “tinyMCE.init” statement, configuring your TinyMce setup:
  • look for the plugins option and add “ibrowser”
  • either add the “ibrowser” button in the theme_advanced_buttonsX option or add an extra theme_advanced_buttonsX_add option if you have used some predefined button set (”theme”)

  Example for the latter:
  
tinyMCE.init({
...
plugins : "ibrowser",
...
theme : "advanced",
theme_advanced_buttons3_add : "ibrowser",
});

I though this looked like a bit of fun - I had a go. I started at the tutorial below but the PHP is a little wrong - well it is for my PHP setup.

I added some logging to my PHP so that I could see what it was doing too. This is my PHP (in very TEST mode). I will be making lots of improvements. I will also create a C# one for any .NET apps that might require something like this. I might even port the actionscript up to AS 3.0

<?php
logIt(’Started upload.php’);
function logIt($message = ‘message’) {
$handle = fopen(’log.txt’, ‘a’);
fwrite($handle, “$message\n”);
fclose($handle);
}

$MAXIMUM_FILESIZE = 1024 * 999999;
$MAXIMUM_FILE_COUNT = 100; // keep maximum 10 files on server
logIt(’Max filesize:’ . $MAXIMUM_FILESIZE);
//echo exif_imagetype($_FILES['Filedata']);
if ($_FILES['Filedata']['size'] <= $MAXIMUM_FILESIZE) {
logIt(’Current file size’ . $_FILES['Filedata']['size']);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], “./tmp/”.$_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
//$type = exif_imagetype(”./temporary/”.$_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
$type = 1;
if ($type == 1 || $type == 2 || $type == 3) {
@rename(”./tmp/”.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'], “./images/”.$_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
logIt(’Renaming to: ‘ . “./images/”.$_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
} else {
unlink(”./tmp/”.$_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
logIt(’Deleting temp file.’);
}
}

$directory = opendir(’./images/’);
logIt(’Directory handle: ‘ . var_dump($directory));
$files = array();
while ($file = readdir($directory)) {
if(!is_dir($file)){
array_push($files, array(’./images/’.$file, filectime(’./images/’.$file)));
logIt(’Adding to file list array: ‘ . $file);
}
}
usort($files, sorter);
if (count($files) > $MAXIMUM_FILE_COUNT) {
$files_to_delete = array_splice($files, 0, count($files) - $MAXIMUM_FILE_COUNT);
for ($i = 0; $i < count($files_to_delete); $i++) {
unlink($files_to_delete[$i][0]);
}
}
print_r($files);
closedir($directory);

function sorter($a, $b) {
if ($a[1] == $b[1]) {
return 0;
} else {
return ($a[1] < $b[1]) ? -1 : 1;
}
}

logIt(”Ended upload.php\n—————————–\n”);
?>

This is really useful for working out what PHP will really return - is_null() - who knows it all depends if it is “0″ 0 etc….
