WampServer

Hi,

I'm using a tracking system called pphlogger and I have som problem due to show the fonts. I get an error in my php log file:

[17-Apr-2008 23:27:14] PHP Warning: imagettfbbox() [<a href='function.imagettfbbox'>function.imagettfbbox</a>]: Invalid font filename in E:\wamp\www\pphlogger\modules\image_gen.php on line 59

[17-Apr-2008 23:27:14] PHP Warning: imagettftext() [<a href='function.imagettftext'>function.imagettftext</a>]: Invalid font filename in E:\wamp\www\pphlogger\modules\image_gen.php on line 76

The code for image_gen.php:
<?php


if (!$visible || $showme == 'n') {
Header("Content-type: image/gif; charset=ISO-8859-1";
readfile(CFG_IMG_PATH.'clear.gif');
} else {
$img_format = get_gd_type();

if (!isset($show_txt)) $show_txt = $hits;

// include the color array
include INC_COLORARRAY;

//default values:
if(!isset($bg_c)) $bg_c = "black";
if(!isset($bg_trans)) $bg_trans = 0;
if(!isset($fg_c)) $fg_c = "#C9C1FF";
if(!isset($ttf_file)) $ttf_file = "/usr/local/fonts/arialbd.ttf";
if(!isset($show_txt)) $show_txt = "undefined";
if(!isset($ttf_size)) $ttf_size = 14;
$txt_length = strlen($show_txt);

*/

// make sure we got an absolute path - this is required in GD2!
if (@$ttf_location == 'relative' || @$ttf_location == '') {
$ttf_realdir = (function_exists('realpath')) ? realpath(CFG_TTF_PATH).'/' : CFG_TTF_PATH;
} else {
$ttf_realdir = @$ttf_location;
}
// Set the path to you fonts dir
$putenv_gdfontpath = @putenv('GDFONTPATH='.$ttf_realdir);
if(CFG_OLDGD || !$putenv_gdfontpath) {
// In some ancient GD1 versions (mainly in PHP3), ImageTTFBBox only accepts
// filenames including their path.
$ttf_file = $ttf_realdir.$ttf_file;
} else {
// Make sure there is no .ttf extension, GD2 doesn't like this!
$ttf_file = eregi_replace('.ttf','',$ttf_file);
}


if ($Freetype_enabled) {
$size=ImageTTFBBox($ttf_size,0,$ttf_file,$show_txt);//THIS IS ROW 59
$SizeX = $size[2]-$size[0] + 6;
$SizeY = $size[1]-$size[5] + 4;
} else {
$SizeX = strlen($show_txt)*($gd_font + 5);
$SizeY = ($gd_font == 1) ? 15 : 20;
}

$im = imagecreate($SizeX, $SizeY);

$c = getRGB($bg_c);
$bgcolor = ImageColorAllocate($im, $c["red"], $c["green"], $c["blue"]);
if ($bg_trans) $bgcolortrans = ImageColorTransparent($im, $bgcolor);
$c = getRGB($fg_c);
$fgcolor = ImageColorAllocate($im, $c["red"], $c["green"], $c["blue"]);

if ($Freetype_enabled) {
ImageTTFText($im,$ttf_size,0,2,-$size[5],$fgcolor,$ttf_file,$show_txt);//THIS IS ROW 76
} else {
ImageString($im, $gd_font, 3, 3, $show_txt, $fgcolor);
}

if ($img_format != 'auto') { // GIF support was removed in GDlib v.1.6
$fct_image = 'image'.$img_format;
Header('Content-type: image/'.$img_format);
$fct_image($im);
} else {
Header("Content-type: image/gif; charset=ISO-8859-1";
readfile(CFG_IMG_PATH."clear.gif";
}
ImageDestroy($im);
}
?>

I have my gd enabled and I run php 5.2.5 (The above works for lower version as 4.7.x), how can I correct this part?

Anyone have an ide about this problem?

i dunno.. Look up php webite for the differences in php 4 and 5 . It will tell u wat has changed

Hi Per,

In the Wamp environment you are unlikely to have the path "/usr/local/fonts/arialbd.ttf". You need to modify the following line to point to the font file:

if(!isset($ttf_file)) $ttf_file = "/usr/local/fonts/arialbd.ttf";

The script seems to have a number of path constants which must be set correctly in a configuration or initialization script of some sort:

CFG_IMG_PATH
CFG_TTF_PATH
GDFONTPATH

I've been using it for years and never had that problem, and as toivo pointed out, the path in your script is for *nix, so make sure to check w/ your host to have the correct path, and for testing on windows, you have to change the path to the proper one. Anyway, try this code which is in my file

if(!isset($ttf_file)) $ttf_file  = "arialbd.ttf";

I tried to change the above path but it still get no fonts showned.

Hi Per,

Do a search in the Windows folder or file system to find out where exactly the file arialbd.ttf is located. That is the path you need. It may just be the standard folder C:\Windows\Fonts where all the fonts usually are.

If you do not find arialbd.ttf, try using one of the other *.ttf files instead.

Actually, the correct path is pphlogger/ttf_fonts, but as mentioned above, that line of code works fine on my server

Ok but I can't seems to solve this. When I chose the option in admin setup part 2 "Freetype Enabled
If you cannot get your Freetype-library run at all or if your hosting provider doesn't wnat to install it, you could disable this. Users won't be able to use TTF-fonts for their counter display. Built-in fonts should be available, though." to be set false then I get the image but then I can't change font types from edit profile page.

Can it be anything that I have missed to ticked in around PHP settings in wamp? As we have this part up, can you explain more in details for each settings or can this part be found any where else?

Another quest around path, should I change this in the main.location page:
if(!defined('PPHL_SCRIPT_PATH')) define('PPHL_SCRIPT_PATH', './');
??

Just a small clarification, its working with my host but not in the wampserver!
Also to Toivo: All path is set what I can see correctly only outstanding see my prev thread.

You might want to post the screenshot to show the error since I have no problem to run it w/ wamp 1.6.6 on xp before and w/ wamp 2 on vista now ;-)

I don't get any error showned on screen, the fonts for imgage countern just don't shows. I do get error in php errorlog as I mentioned in my first thread. So I feel its concerning the image_gen.php but I can't figure out whats wrong and my guts is saying its around the ttf files or path to the same thats not working as expected.

I some respect I do get some strange error in the source code for showhits:
‰PNG

���
IHDR������
���—ÊÜ����PLTEÿÿ€��€‹&à”���
tRNS�@æØf���IDATxœc`€����
·Xs•����IEND®B`‚

So t seems that the image-gen cant generate image and I have tested all auto, png, gif and jpeg none works

I'm running wamp 2,0 on windows xp

Yfastud, question to you: Have you change anything in the main_location.inc file, I was tmost thinking around this:

if(!defined('PPHL_CFG_PATH'))    define('PPHL_CFG_PATH'   , PPHL_SCRIPT_PATH);

Regards/Per

No, I only change some other files, mainly to prevent people to access my log, but nothing w/ the font ;-)

Now its working when I changed to lower version of php (4.4.7) so it seems this image_gen.php doesn't work for hihger versions. Do anyone know why?

Regards/Per

Ok, every part of the code or can you point out which part where we need to change the code?

Regards/Per

well, not sure which part exactly, so you might want to check codes to make sure they're php5 compatible; however, I still wonder why I don't have any problem at all even I'm using it w/ latest wamp2

One question, if your part is working and you are using this function in php 5,2,5 then it must be a setting problem. Can you tell me which settings you have and which extention you have chosen for your php version?

Regards/Per

Hi,

yfastud which settings and extension have you chosen in your php version 5,2,5 if this is working for you?

Regards/Per
