Marco Rodrigues — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 20:54:00 -0000

checkbashisms' output:
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/phpix-create-new-instance line 10 (echo -e):

I've a patch attached that fix this problem. So it will work in shell, bash and dash.

Autorotating pictures

LT-P — Mon, 13 Dec 2004 20:01:50 -0000

The original pxpix had a nice feature: autorotation of
pictures and thumbnails.

It could be a Good Idea to add it.

CSS element names

LT-P — Thu, 09 Dec 2004 18:21:51 -0000

It could be useful to haave non-generic names for
classes and ids in phpix, as the gallery can me merged
into a webpage.

I am thinkiing of using things like

div.phpix_content {
background-color: white;
/* align: center; */
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

instead of

div.content {
background-color: white;
/* align: center; */
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

because I could have been using a class "content" into
my own CSS files.

URL encoding in links

LT-P — Thu, 09 Dec 2004 16:56:33 -0000

When trying to validate the pages generated by phpix2,
I get those errors:

___

Line 32, column 203: cannot generate system identifier
for general entity "user"

...m=%23%23NONE%23%23&dispsize=Original&user=&pic=directory.jpg&width=92&height=

An entity reference was found in the document, but
there is no reference by that name defined. Often this
is caused by misspelling the reference name, unencoded
ampersands, or by leaving off the trailing semicolon
(;). The most common cause of this error is unencoded
ampersands in URLs as described by the WDG in
"Ampersands in URLs".

Entity references start with an ampersand (&) and end
with a semicolon (;). If you want to use a literal
ampersand in your document you must encode it as
"&" (even inside URLs!). Be careful to end entity
references with a semicolon or your entity reference
may get interpreted in connection with the following
text. Also keep in mind that named entity references
are case-sensitive; &Aelig; and æ are different
characters.

This problem is explained there:

Ampersands (&'s) in URLs

Another common error occurs when including a URL which
contains an ampersand ("&"):

<a
href="foo.cgi?chapter=1&section=2">...</a>

This example generates an error for "unknown entity
section" because the "&" is assumed to begin an entity.
In many cases, browsers will recover safely from the
error, but the example used here will cause the link to
fail in Netscape 3.x (but not other versions of
Netscape) since it will assume that the author intended
to write §ion, which is equivalent to 告on.

To avoid problems with both validators and browsers,
always use & in place of & when writing URLs in HTML:

Note that replacing & with & is only done when
writing the URL in HTML, where "&" is a special
character (along with "<" and ">"). When writing the
same URL in a plain text email message or in the
location bar of your browser, you would use "&" and not
"&". With HTML, the browser translates "&" to
"&" so the Web server would only see "&" and not
"&" in the query string of the request.

Does not deal with MOV files

Anonymous — Thu, 14 Oct 2004 05:43:39 -0000

My camera takes MOV video. It would be nice to be able
to view these on the browser. If not, then could we
ignore unknown formats?

Great software, BTW. :)

Adjust size doesn't work + fix

Anonymous — Mon, 31 Mar 2003 10:42:41 -0000

"Adjust size" fails when you have a single quote in the
file name.
In view.php on line 215:

print "<input type='hidden' name='pic' value='$pic'>\n";

The $pic needs to be urlencode()'ed before being processed.
example of a fix:

print "<input type='hidden' name='pic' value='" .
urlencode($pic)"'>\n";

Then on line 24 in view.php:

pic = stripslashes($pic);

needs to be changed to:

$pic = urldecode(stripslashes($pic));

so the rest of the script can process a urldeode()'ed
string.

chdir()

Mathew L. Alexander — Tue, 11 Feb 2003 02:19:44 -0000

I'm getting this error from PHPix: Warning: chdir()
[function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2)
in /home/httpd/albums/common.inc on line 26

I'm using Apache v2 and PHP 4.3.0. Has the chdir
function changed since 4.1? Or could it be a permission
problem?

Make Failure: Need an Operator

Anonymous — Thu, 22 Aug 2002 04:11:08 -0000

Am trying to make (suid or nosuid) on an OpenBSD3.1-
current system. I'm getting the following errors when I
run 'make suid':

"Makefile", line 23: Need an operator
"Makefile", line 25: Need an operator
"Makefile", line 27: Need an operator
Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

thinking maybe I didn't have GCC installed/setup (but
I'm sure I do since I've recompiled the kernel on this
machine?) I did:

# whatis gcc
gcc, g++ (1) - GNU project C and C++ Compiler (gcc-
2.95)

and

# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-
openbsd3.1/2.95.3/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 20010125 (prerelease)

but am at a loss...BTW, here's lines 23,25,27 of the
Makefile:

ifdef BASEPATH
echo "#define BASEPATH \&quot;$(BASEPATH)\&quot;" >
convert.h
else
echo "#define BASEPATH \&quot;`pwd`\&quot;" > convert.h
endif

I've signed up for the Mailing list tonight - so can be
answered in either spot

Thanks in advance! - dave@dgnal.net

Can't create directories under RH7.2

Tad Truex — Thu, 28 Mar 2002 02:13:05 -0000

Any one else have problems using this with a RH7.2
installation?

I have used it with great success on earlier version,
but now get the following message when I go to a page
that requires execution of the convert script.

mkdir: cannot create directory
`generated/Wooden_Planes': Permission denied

I inserted an id command in the convert.sh script and
it indicate that I am running as apache/apache with no
effective user id mentioned.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Thanks,
Tad
