you need to set:

ini_set(sendmail_from, "youremail@gmail.com");
ini_set(SMTP, "smtpMailServerAddressGoesHere@gmail.com");
ini_set(smtp_port, 25);

But I'm not sure what the correct values are.

hi i am using codeblocks and i want to use opencv to capture video and image and ... .

this is the program :

//------------------------------------
#include < iostream >

using namespace std;

#include "cv.h"
#include "highgui.h"

int main()
{
IplImage* img;
img = cvLoadImage("lena.bmp", 1);
cvNamedWindow("window", 1);
cvShowImage("window", img);
cvWaitKey(0);
cvDestroyWindow("window");
cvReleaseImage(&img);
return 0;
}
//------------------------------------

but there is a compilation error :

../../../../../../usr/local/lib/libcxcore.so||undefined reference to `gzeof'|
../../../../../../usr/local/lib/libcxcore.so||undefined reference to `gzopen'|
../../../../../../usr/local/lib/libcxcore.so||undefined reference to `gzclose'|

../../../../../../usr/local/lib/libcxcore.so||undefined reference to `gzgets'|
../../../../../../usr/local/lib/libcxcore.so||undefined reference to `gzputs'|
||=== Build finished: 6 errors, 0 warnings ===|

i used this instructions to install the downloaded package : (OpenCV-2.0.0.tar.bz2)
1. tar -xjf OpenCV-2.0.0.tar.bz2

2. mkdir opencv.build

3. cd opencv.build

4a. cmake [<extra_options>] ../OpenCV-2.0.0 # CMake-way

or

4b. ../OpenCV-2.0.0/configure [<extra_options>] # configure-way

5. make -j 2

6. sudo make install

7. sudo ldconfig # linux only

and i set the codeblocks envierment parameters as is shown in this page :
http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/CodeBlocks

any suggestion?!

Thanks for your help. The ones that you introduced are very good but I'd rather something that I can put limitation on accounts' space with it easily and also free. Confused | :confused:

can you use FTP (e.g: FileZilla)?

some of those are free, you will need to read up on them to see if any of them have account controls or you can always add your own.

Hey guys ,
i want to bring my website a bit more of a interactive feel , like forums and log ins ....

The (update) book I started php on is this http://www.amazon.com/PHP-MySQL-Web-Development-4th/dp/0672329166/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259357220&sr=1-1[^], I started with the 1st ed.

It has complete code examples that the authors take the time to walk you through. Each example is also a complete program that can be used straight in your site, although I wouldn't due to style issues... Smile | :)

But I found this book more helpful than most out there that only give you fragments of a complete web app.

Whichever you feel most comfortable with. There seems to be more support and tutorials from the PHP community however.

SRJ92 wrote:

To be honest, Google. Want to do a login authentication?, google: "php Login tutorial" or "php authentication tutorial". If you looking for mysql database tutorials, google "mysql php tutorial".

If you know JavaScript you won't have much of a problem with PHP.

hey, i would definitely recommend php, this is largely due to the hugh community it has on the www, all you have to do is google whatever your looking for and 9 out of 10 times you'll get what your looking for.
theres plenty of login examples available out there too. But i would also recommend if you dont already know it get some idea of mysql dbs too, also get a version of xampp from myapache and friends for your machine that way you can do all the work locally before deploying anything.

First, CGI isn't really a language, but a way to do server side stuff outside a web server. You can write CGI stuff in most any language that can run on your system, C, C++, Perl, Pascal, etc. Therein lies the problem -- it isn't very secure and if you CGI script crashes, the entire server may also.

So, I'd definitely recommend using PHP. It will allow you to do most anything you need to do on a server, but it will allow reasonable security in most implementations. Also, the way it's usually setup, if your PHP script crashes, it won't bring down the entire server.

str_replace vs hebrevc

Quiltfish26-Nov-09 9:01

Not actually a problem, the script works now, but a bit of a lolwut-moment..

So this script I have would take in a text and store it in a database. It did but didn't store linebreaks properly, so I tried

$TextToStore = str_replace('\n','<br/>',$TextToStore);

This didn't work, not with any variation on quotes. Then after a little random googling, I found hebrevc():

The hebrevc() function converts Hebrew text from a right-to-left flow to a left-to-right flow. It also converts new lines (\n) into <br/>.

So, while I find this freakishly hackish, I now pass the stored text to hebrevc before displaying... and it works, displays properly. What the heck?

There's an easier method: nl2br()[^]

If at first you don't succeed, you're not Chuck Norris.

Huh? how would it matter what is inside your string? what happens exactly? And on what system is this?
Are you sure your newlines are \n and not \r or even \r\n ?

FWIW: Googling PHP str_replace newline brings up lots of things including this: nl2br[^]

Yep, I'm sure newlines are just \n.

I copy-paste the appropriate texts to store from a related blog (No, not stealing material. The blog is a parent site, my site is sort of an archive) and before this, when displaying the text back from the database, it all ran together into one big paragraph. With hebrevc (or rather, nl2br once I can verify without a 500 code..) it displays neatly formatted as it should.

Thanks for the suggestions too! Apparently my google-fu is weak today..

Luc Pattyn26-Nov-09 9:46

So basically what you are saying is, it is not the database that is at fault, you simply do need a conversion from non-HTML text (including newlines), to text that is fit for displaying on a web page.

If so, you need a lot of conversions, such as newline to <br /> but also & to & and < to < etc.

There is bound to be a PHP function that does all that in one go.

You may look here[^], htmlspecialchars() looks interesting.

Oh wow, that would've saved me some other str_replace calls (which worked fine,btw,unlike the \n ->
).

At first, I wanted to do that conversion before storage, in a fit of premature optimization, so as not to have to do the replace's every time the text is viewed but only once on storing.

Yeah, I was young and newbie-ish when I first wrote this script (well, slightly more so anyway Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

)
