The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Image display using php script for img src

Asked by cooperholt in PHP Scripting Language, Web Images, PHP and Databases

Tags: ,

I am tearing hair out.... I wish to use a php file to display an image.  Now thats a pretty simple exercise I understand - using the php file as the src element of a img call.

Like: <img src="makeimage.php"> etc

I have a pretty simplified example which i know is generating the path to the file and the file correctly - but simply will not play ball and states "errors in file" when viewed in firefox..

Perhaps an expert could comment on this code?

Server is Apache / Php 5 running on Intel Mac via MAMP Pro

//for the sake of ease i am making some variables hardcoded
//allthough in my script they arrive in another fashion
 
$path = "chat_images/";
$src = "chat1_online";
$type = "gif";
 
$img = $path.$src.".".$type;
 
//reveals: chat_images/chat1_online.gif
//which does exist on the server 
       
header("Content-type: image/{$type}");
 
//attempt one (these not done at same time obviously)
imagegif($img);
exit();
 
//attempt two
echo $img;
exit();
 
//attempt three
