NP, I've been reading you for a while now. Did you give me the name of
a newsgroup where they consider webstuff ontopic?
I'm rather convinced that scripting languages are my meal ticket this
month, so much so that I'm making it happen with my rudimentary
webtools. This is what I call output:
http://merrillpjensen.com/food_4.html
This is a powerful medium, where one can intermix binaries and text. My
problem now is that it's not a discrete medium without me attending
endlessly to obfuscations with files that I would much just rather have
as themselves, and the only way you can see them is if php lets you with
an authentication level equal to my level of give a crap.
It's been a while since I did a source listing, so I would like to do
so, now that I can ask better questions.
In my line of work, I find myself taking a lot of pictures, because it
shows what I do for my clients. My clients are honest to God Amis whose
privacy is a matter for me to stake my integrity on, and I have enough
of them that I know that their preferences to privacy vary, depending
mostly on age, btw. Little bit on class. whatevs.
The rub is that I need to be able to show what I do to market the things
that I do. These are the scripts I'm using to pull it off now:
I run a bash script to handle the images that get chosen from my camera:
$ cat nikon_bash3.sh
#!/bin/bash
set -e
PARENTDIR='cleaning'
DIR='images1'
cd ${PARENTDIR}
mkdir -p $DIR
cp *.JPG $DIR
cd $DIR
ls -l
mogrify -resize 800x600! *
rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *.JPG
ls -l
cd ..
cd ..
pwd
sudo fredify2.sh
$
I have several versions of this. Very vanilla.
$ cd cleaning
$ cat food_ftp1.pl

This has so far been my home-cooked perl version of static web dev, but
I want to see if php can obviate all the go***a%n filing-about that you
have to do to maintain the privacies of the the binaries shown. These
images are my shack so I don't care so much anymore. I also use this
tool chain to lay down the law with people a bit; it's a very direct medium:
http://merrillpjensen.com/cleaning_1.html
Q1) How do I design a website where the binaries aren't there for the
taking unless php thinks you have done some act of authentication to see
them?
Q2) What's a good first book for php?
