Using PHP to display OID jpegPhoto attribute

Has anyone been able to display the OID jpegPhoto attribute using PHP?
I'm running OAS 10g R2 with PHP 4.3.9
I've activated the PHP extension modules gd2lib and exif to manipulate images.
I can also retrieve and display all OID attributes using PHP, except for the jpegPhoto attribute which looks like a small binary string.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

create a procedure with this code
OWA_UTIL.mime_header (l_mime, FALSE);
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file (l_lob);
where l_lob is your BLOB field and l_mime is the mime type of the photo.
and then in your page just write
<img src=/portal/pls/portal/my_schema/my_plsql_proc?param1=value1>

Using PHP to display semi-random images?

Hello,
I'm looking for help using PHP and MySQL to generate semi-random images on my web site. Here's what I'm trying to do: I have 60 images, but I only want to display 16 at a time (for examlpe http://artisdead.net/antelopegardens.php).
The way I imagine this is, the design has 16 image placeholders. I want Placeholder 1 (the first image) to randomally pull record ID 1, 2, or 3 from the SQL database, while Placeholder 2 pulls record ID 4-6, etc. It's important that one of the first 3 images displays first, while one of the second 3 images displays next, etc.
I've found various ways to randomize all the images, but I'm not understanding how to constrain the randomization the way I'm looking to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Before offering a possible solution, I should point out that your plan has a minor flaw. If you display only 16 images, and want the random choice to come from incremental sets of three, the maximum number you can have in your set is 48. The final 12 images will never be selected. For 60 images, you need 20 placeholders. The alternative is to have a total set of 64 images, and make the random choice come from incremental sets of four images.
With that caveat, here's how I would do it. The primary keys of your records might not be consecutive, particularly if records are deleted and new ones added, so it might be a good idea to have a separate column with consecutive numbers from 1 to the the maximum. To select random numbers from incremental groups of three, use the following:
$id = array();
$min = 1;
$max = 3;
for ($i = 0; $i < 16; $i++) {
// generate random number from current set
$id[$i] = mt_rand($min, $max);
// increment the minimum and maximum numbers for the next set
$min += 3;
$max += 3;
// join the selected values as a comma-separated string
$vals = implode(',', $id);
$sql = "SELECT image FROM images WHERE id IN ($vals)";
// excecute the SQL query

How To Display User Photo (jpegphoto attribute) From OID LDAP Entry

Hello everyone,
I've spent a few days looking for a solution to this problem with no luck.
I have a PLSQL database package that generates an organisation chart of users. It works fine but I am struggling to retrieve the users photo.
I have tried linking to the jpg files in my /oiddas/ui/oracle/ldap/das/Images/users/ folder but these files do not always exist so this is unreliable. These files only appear to be created if a user has previously viewed their profile in Self Service Console. Even if the files exist they are often out of date and don't reflect the photo held in OID.
I know the photo is stored in the jpegphoto attribute and I have been using DBMS_LDAP calls to retrieve other user details but I just can not find a definitive answer to how I send this image to the browser.
If anyone has any ideas, sample code or web links it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

The idea would be to get the attribute value from OID using DBMS_LDAP or Java (whatever is easyer for you) and dump it in a file. Then generate the URL to the file.
When you initiate the LDAP connection to get the picture, remember to specify jpegphoto as a binary attribute.

Using Flex/PHP to Display MYSQL data and Images

Does anyone have any good examples of using Flex 3 in conjunction with PHP to display data and images from a mysql database? I've searched a lot and it seems hard to find this combination. I have manged to create a login system using this which allows users to login via usernames and passwords that are stored in my mysql database (Grizzz helped me out a lot with this).
But I now want to create a product selection in the site with the categories down the left hand side and the products related to these categories displayed in the other panel once each of these products are clicked. The guy I'm making it for wants to be able to add and delete categories as well as add and delete products so obviously it needs to be done using php and mysql. I'm looking for something similar to the way the online shop is laid out in the following example:-

Hi Jay,
I am not talking about the jpg attachments. Instead I am concerned with my company's employees who have uploaded their images for the employee's identificaton. Ldap attribute for images is "jpegphoto" & the format of this attribute is binary instead of string.

Using a Variable in HttpService url attribute

I have a dynamic url defined below
public var forecastURL:String = "
http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/SOAP_server/ndfdSOAPclientByDay.php?lat="
+ latitude + "&lon=" + longitude +
"&format=12+hourly&startDate=" + todaysDate +
"&numDays=" + numberDays + ""
I would like to use the var without the {} bind. The compiler
complains if the url is not surrounded in quotes. This should be
simple? How can I use a var within the url attribute without the
bind brackets?
<mx:HTTPService
id="forecastRequest"
url = "{forecastURL}" result="resultHandler(event)"
/>

Not Possible..why don't you use the subtitle box instead of help url?

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] Re: using begin childName Display method

Steve,
It sounds like you have your display fields in a container view, and
that container view is inside of a view bean. I haven't tested whether
the fireChildDisplayEvents has a "deep" effect on its container view
children. Meaning that you may have to set fireChildDisplayEvents="true"
for the <jato:containerView> tag instead. If all else fails and you need
to just get it working, you can set the fireDisplayEvents="true" for
each display field tag separately.

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] using begin childName Display method

Oops. Sorry about that, Craig. I didn't realize I might leave that impression.
I'm sure the tiled
views work since you have so many examples of these and it's a relatively
simple concept, isn't it?
Not to mention a necessary one. I didn't have time to debug my code and find
out what I was doing
wrong where the tiled views are concerned. I decide to just try to implement
tiled views later and
just stick with one of everything for now and get that working.
Yes, I have reviewed your comments and am taking them into consideration. I am
able to save and
retrieve values with my model at this point.
Thanks.

Belinda,
He may also be binding the models, howerver, he needs to change the way
the value appears before it is displayed which is why you would use the
display events.
Your null value issue is a completely different issue and has nothing to
do with it being a tiled view. I don't want anyone getting the idea
that the tiledView binding is broken. It does work. You issue should
have something to do with the inconsistent way in which you are getting
your model. At least from what I could tell in your source code that you
sent me.
Have you reviewed my comments I sent to you in your source code?

How do I search a word document stored in a BLOB using PHP?

I have been successful at saving files in a blob field using oracle.
I need to search through the word document, how can I do it using PHP?
Please help!

You're going to want to look at the Text Application Developer's guide.
9i - http://otn.oracle.com/pls/db92/db92.show_toc?partno=a96517&remark=drilldown&word=microsoft+word
10g -
http://otn.oracle.com/pls/db10g/db10g.show_toc?partno=b10729&remark=drilldown&word=text+application+developer%27s+guide
Give this a read and it'll give you what you need in order to search CLOB and BLOB fields for text data.
It all works around a particular type of index which is then referenced using a CONTAINS clause in your SQL... eg:
SELECT id FROM documents WHERE CONTAINS( document_body, 'Oracle' ) > 0
Once you've got your head around the basic priniciples you're going to want to look at the document filters. This should allow you to index MS Word documents (warning: I've never used this for Word).
It's not something that you can just pick up from reading a 20 line reply on a forum, but it sounds like what you're looking for.
We use it here in order to look up on HTML documents, and it works a treat. We converted our Word documents to HTML so we could mark them up and then display them inline on pages.
We wrap up the SQL that actually does the CONTAINS clause in a PL-SQL function, but I don't image there's a problem issuing a CONTAINS over OCI. Let me know if it works!
Might this be an option for you?

Having Truble Reading and Echoing Using PHP in HTML. Possible Variable Scope Problem?

Hey guys,
   Thanks for your always knowledgable help! Today I am working with displaying text from a text file in an HTML table using PHP. I can't get the data to display properly, I think it has something to do with the scope of the variables, but I am not sure. Here is the code I am struggeling with:
<table width="357" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
    <td width="165">Pizza 1</td>
    <td width="186"><? echo $price['0']; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>Burger 1</td>
    <td><? echo $price['1']; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>Drink 1</td>
    <td><? echo $price['2']; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
In the above PHP (not shown) the array $price is filled properly (I tested by echoing each bit line by line) but by the time we get into the HTML it seems the array is empty or it is not liking how I am calling it. Does the scope of a PHP variable end with the closing "?>" tag? Am I missing something? Bellow is the full code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<style type="text/css">

    background-color: #333;
    color: #FFF;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$menu=fopen("prices.txt","r") or exit("Unable to open file!");
$price=array();
$priceposition=null;
$tempstring;
//This loop does all of the READING and populating of variables
while(!feof($menu))
    //Check to see if this is the first pass, if not add one to the array possition
    if ($priceposition==null){
        $priceposition=0;
    else{
    $priceposition++;
    //populate the temparary string
    $tempstring = fgets($menu);
    //Populate the array if the temporary string is not a comment
    if(substr($tempstring,0,2) != "//"){
        $price['$priceposition']= $tempstring;
        echo $price['$priceposition'];
//End of reading loop
fclose($menu);
?>
<table width="357" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
    <td width="165">Pizza 1</td>
    <td width="186"><? echo $price['0']; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>Burger 1</td>
    <td><? echo $price['1']; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>Drink 1</td>

Wow, what a great little peice of testing code, thanks! That showed me the problem right away! Is there any way to test your php line by line in Dreamweaver CS6? I am used to computer programing in Visual Studio and Eclipse where they have an option of running code line by line and seing how variables populate and change with each line of code execution. Or is thier a program that can do this for PHP?

Display item visual attribute

Hello.
Is there a way to use set_item_instance_property on display item?
Or change font color of disabled text item?
Thanks.

Set_item_instance_property is the new built-in. Don't use the old display_item. Help says: "Maintained for backward compatibility only."
Use the new one. There are all properties in the built-in you need for changing the visual attributes.

Why cannot I use hidden or display only item to store value for insert?

hi, Gurus:
I have a question:
I implemented a form with report region in a page, the update works OK, but the add function has a problem:
There is a column, offender_ID, which is a foreign key for another table, it should not be null during insert. However, even I pass the offender ID from master page when user click the create button, and it did shows in the form, it must be a text filed to insert successfully, why cannot I use hidden or display only item to store this value for insert? (If I use hidden or display only item, insert won't be successful, apex reports I tried to insert a null value to offender_ID column.)
Many Thanks in advance.
Sam

Hi,

(If I use hidden or display only item, insert won't be successful, apex reports I tried to insert a null value to offender_ID column.)I think both hidden and display items have attributes that can cause problems because of different ways these items function than non-hidden and non-display-only items function. Display Only items have a "Setting" of "Save Session State" Yes/No? That can be a problem.
Would you do this? Make these items regular items instead and see if you can get those working. Then, we will try to change the fields back to hidden or display only.

Congratulations. Glad you found the solution.
