Add support for dynamic flash file generation to php4_PHP tutorial

Have you ever imagined dynamically generating flash animation on a website? This article will let you step into the exciting era of php+flash.

php is such a good thing, I really can’t predict how she will change tomorrow. . . Okay, let’s get down to business. Here is

an introduction to how to implement this function.

1. Required software

swf support library

http://reality.sgi.com/grafica/flash/dist.99.linux.tar.Z

This package has documentation, you can use it with c, his example is.

This guy is great, but it would be better if he provided the source code.

Of course it is php4. Get it from http://www.php.net

2. Installation

1. Install libswf.a

#cp dist.99.linux.tar.Z /usr/local

#tar xvzf dist.99.linux.tar.Z

#cd dist

#make

You will see two files, image.swf and test.swf, generated by the example c program. You can put them in the browser to see the results.

If it comes out, you’re halfway done.

You still need to do a few things

Add

SWFBINPATH=/usr/local/dist/bin to /etc/profile

export SWFBINPATH

SWFFONTPATH=/usr/local/dist/fonts

export SWFFONTPATH ​​

2. Compile php4

Compile and add

--with -swf=/usr/local/dist

The author found an error that swf.h could not be found during compilation. Use

#cp /usr/local/dist/swf.h /php /src/directory/ext/swf solves the problem

After installation, make the following script (example in the php document). Please note that the swf directory in the current directory must be

writable. Otherwise apache will make an error and you will not be able to do anything

After execution, use the browser to call the test.swf file. You will definitely be surprised by the power of php, haha

Experience the programming It has a perfect feeling of artistic design, but it’s a pity that I don’t have an artistic mind:-(

There are two programs in /usr/local/dist/bin, imgtofi is used to convert rgb, gif, jpg to libswf.a Supported

graphic formats, pstoff converts ps fonts into fonts available in libswf.a. I have converted English fonts and they can be used in the program

, but I have not successfully converted Chinese fonts. , I don’t know which prawn has succeeded, can you tell me?
