They appear similar to mine.

Yes, they are. I've learned better since then. Can you?
I can learn better, but I'm not convinced. We're just disagreeing at
something.
I think, the next time, I'll reply with a similar post but perhaps
include a sentence dedicated to telling OP where to look for better
information, that should settle it.

I mentioned what's possible within standard C.
>Within standard C, it's possible to read all kinds of image formats in
useful ways that let you do productive image processing. Yes, you use
fopen and getc and so on to get the data into memory, but there's a lot
more to it than that. Whilst, strictly speaking, such questions are not
as topical as they perhaps might be, it doesn't do anyone any favours
for you to pretend you don't know what he almost certainly is really
after.
You snipped the part where I explain why I chose to behave as if I
didn't know what OP is talking about.

Whatever. Such behaviour is self-marginalising.

I tried to search for "self-marginalising", but the results I get from
dictionaries are definitions of the word marginalise, which don't
help. What do you mean?

Also, would you mind explaining these posts by you? Were you self-
marginalisin g as well, or is there something in those cases that made
you post what you posted?

It seems to me that a new RH has appeared on the scene. He appears to
have finally seen how stupid all this posturing is.

Or, to look at it another way: Once one person admits that there exists
this charade of "chosing to behave as if (i.e., pretending) I didn't
know what OP is talking about", it basically ruins it for everybody.
So here, vippy, you've ruined it for everybody. I think RH sees that
there's no point in this little charade anymore.

Basic Algorithms includes chapters on BMP, GIF and JPEG formats. Code is
free to download.

And free to use? You have no license on your website that I can find, so
anyone thinking about using that code in a commercial context _has_ to
decide against it. If that's not your attention, you should make that
clear - not here, but in the code itself.
No, no sensible commercial person would worry about such a thing.
Successful businessmen have an instinctive feel for when rules can be bent.

Hmm. So you are saying that no sensible commercial person has any
morals. Personally I think you are wrong and there are a lot of
commercial people who do have morals and are concerned with sticking to
licensing terms. There are also a lot who are too concerned about being
caught breaking the rules to break them.

Of course you could have just stated whether or not you permit use in a
commercial context.

Better and more successful ones know when they don't need to be bent.
(However MiniBasic has a special licence).
By your argument that won't do you any good because business people will
ignore it.

It's successful businessmen like those who keep patent landsharks in the
big money.

I think you are mistaken. Deliberate copyright infringement
seems like a pretty bad idea. Never mind the morality
there's the possibility of being sued or at the least
some nasty publicity.

No, successful business people also have an instintive feel for when rules
can't be bent. So MiniBasic has a licence that specifically permits passing
off the source code as your own, to cater for these people.

I'm new to the GD/Image functions with PHP, and I'm trying to use them to manipulate jpeg images that I've stored in a MySQL database (specifically, creating thumbnails).

While I can see how that's...

Hi all, I'm in search of a fast solution to reading image dimensions. I know you can get the image dimensions by loading a file into an image object, and then reading the height/width properties, but this is really slow (relatively speaking). Another poster suggested I could read the image headers manually by streaming the first X number of bytes of the file, but this is fairly consuming approach and hoping there's another option.

Hi Community, I think I can store Binary Data in SQL Server but when I try to retrieve it, I always only get one byte. I think I stored my Binary Data in SQL Server in a Colum of Type Image.
