ImageMagick & form $post
 

Does anyone with knowledge of Imagemagick know if i *have* to use sessions in order to post form data to a .php file to generate the image based on pre-defined settings?

I've Googled and not finding anyting definitive other than there being some 'bugs' in the latest version of ImageMagick.

I'm just using a standard HTML form with the $post for the data being input, feeding it into the imagemagick.php file (which works if I edit it manually) but nothing is actually 'happening' as far as the data getting posted to the file.

Im just trying to use a form to edit text, just as I would a regular .php page outputting form input in the browser when you hit the submit button :Oh crap

It doesn't sound like you would need to use sessions in that scenario, unless your whole form required you to be logged in to use it.

That was what I was thinking, yet for some reason it does not appear to be parsing the data entered into the variable fileds in the imagemagick.php page :/

I'm going to play with it a little more and see what I can find error wise but im about 99% certain this is error free and its related directly to my ImageMagickinstallation on the server :/

Would being behind .htaccess count as being required to be logged in? Even if the form and ImageMagick.php page is in the same directory that is protected?

print_r() the $_POST and $_FILES arrays to make sure that the data is actually arriving at the server.

If you are talking about htpasswd, that's doesn't count as a login system in the context of php sessions. That's separate.

Thank you.

Before I start screwing around with things and mess them up even more, can I confirm that you mean I should put print_r() like this at the top of the page where the arrays are and not somewhere else?

print_r($_POST);

Oh at the very top, gotcha.
