[imagecopyresized](http://www.php.net/imagecopyresized) will copy and scale and image. This uses a fairly primitive algorithm that tends to yield more pixelated results.

[imagecopyresampled](http://www.php.net/imagecopyresampled) will copy and scale and image, it uses a smoothing and pixel interpolating algorithm that will generally yield much better results then imagecopyresized at the cost of a little cpu usage.

[imagecopy](http://www.php.net/imagecopy) will copy but will not scale the image. 


What follows is a long explanation, but it&#39;s the only way to effectively communicate the issue I&#39;m trying to resolve...

I am (somewhat desperately, and entirely unsuccessfully) trying to overlay divs without the use of absolute positioning. The need stems from a paypal cart that I place on the site via a Javascript. The cart&#39;s natural position is hard against the top margin of the webpage (not its containing div, which is **#wpPayPal**, or the wrapper for this div, **#main**).

The script&#39;s author strongly recommends against customizing the cart&#39;s stylesheet, but I found a tutorial he wrote that enables insertion of the cart into a placeholder div, with positioning instructions for the container that works - I was able to position the cart below the site&#39;s top banner section. However...

The cart&#39;s HTML form and a ul element within each have height requirements in the cart&#39;s stylesheet, and this pushes the page&#39;s main content, wrapped by the container div **#imageWrapper**, too far down the page to be acceptable.

I tried to position #imageWrapper over #main with several ideas gathered from posts on this site with no success. I&#39;ve tried absolute positioning on #imageWrapper, but this frees the footer to float beneath. #imageWrapper&#39;s height is variable, hence I do not want to hold the footer in place with height, since the min-height to prevent overlap would push the footer down too far for much of the site&#39;s content.

I also tried pulling position:relative from the cart form&#39;s CSS, but the cart immediately floats back to the top of the webpage. Margin, top-margin, etc.,do not remedy this.

I then read an [article][1] on using position:relative and z-index to overlay divs. Tried this, too, first by putting z-index: -1 on #main (the div that wraps the paypal cart), but the cart disappears. Not sure where it goes, either, since the site&#39;s breadcrumb nav, also wrapped by #main, stayed put.

I then set the z-index for main to 0 and applied position:relative to #imageWrapper with z-index:100. The cart reappeared but still holds #imageWrapper down.

Suggestions are greatly welcomed. I&#39;m not an interface person by any stretch of the imagination, just a guy who knows how to use Google, so thanks in advance for clearly articulating your resolution :) Also, FYI, presently I have the min-height requirement for the cart form set to 0, and set the UL element within to height:auto. With only a single item in the cart, this allows #imageWrapper to move up the page enough to be acceptable, but this is not a viable long-term solution.

Here&#39;s an [example page][2] - to see the cart, add an item using the dropdown that appears below the main image. In its expanded state, you&#39;ll see how #imageWrapper sits against it.

I&#39;ve included portions of the offending HTML / CSS below:

    &lt;div id=&quot;main&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div id=&quot;wpPayPal&quot;&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--end wpPayPal--&gt;
        &lt;div id=&quot;breadcrumbs&quot;&gt;
            &lt;span class=&quot;B_crumbBox&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;B_firstCrumb&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;B_homeCrumb&quot; href=&quot;/&quot;&gt;home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;raquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt; &lt;!--end breadcrumbs --&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end Main --&gt;
    
    &lt;div id=&quot;imageWrapper&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div id=&quot;imageInnerWrapper&quot;&gt;
            &lt;div id=&quot;featureImage&quot;&gt;

etc...

What does the word &quot;root&quot; mean in [phpMyAdmin][1]?

Whenever I write `localhost/phpmyadmin` on the address bar, I am asked to enter a username and a password, but I don&#39;t know what they are. I don&#39;t remember when and where I set them. From where can I get my username and password to login to phpMyAdmin?

I am trying to get the sum of `1 + 2 + ... + 1000000000`, but I&#39;m getting funny results in PHP and [Node.js][1].

**PHP**

    $sum = 0;
    for($i = 0; $i &lt;= 1000000000 ; $i++) {
        $sum += $i;
    }
    printf(&quot;%s&quot;, number_format($sum, 0, &quot;&quot;, &quot;&quot;));   // 500000000067108992

**Node.js**

    var sum = 0;
    for (i = 0; i &lt;= 1000000000; i++) {
        sum += i ;
    }
    console.log(sum); // 500000000067109000

The correct answer can be calculated using

    1 + 2 + ... + n = n(n+1)/2

Correct answer = **500000000500000000**, so I decided to try another language.

**GO**

    var sum , i int64
    for i = 0 ; i &lt;= 1000000000; i++ {
        sum += i
    }
    fmt.Println(sum) // 500000000500000000

But it works fine! So what is wrong with my PHP and Node.js code?

Perhaps this a problem of interpreted languages, and that&#39;s why it works in a compiled language like Go? If so, would other interpreted languages such as Python and Perl have the same problem?

Unexpected results when working with very big integers on interpreted languages

Everyone runs into syntax errors. Even experienced programmers make typos. For newcomers, it&#39;s just part of the learning process. However, it&#39;s often easy to interpret error messages such as:

&gt; PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected &#39;{&#39; in index.php on line 20

The unexpected symbol isn&#39;t always the real culprit. But the line number gives a rough idea of where to start looking.

&gt; Always look at the **code context**. The syntax mistake often hides in the mentioned *or* in **previous code lines**. Compare your code against syntax examples from the manual.

While not every case matches the other. Yet there are some [general steps to **solve syntax mistakes**](https://stackoverflow.com/a/18050072).

I&#39;ve already read [this thread][1] but when I implement it into my code it only works for a few iterations. 

I&#39;m using python to iterate through a directory (lets call it move directory) to copy mainly pdf files (matching a unique ID) to another directory (base directory) to the matching folder (with the corresponding unique ID). I started using `shutil.copy` but if there are duplicates it overwrites the existing file. 

I&#39;d like to be able to search the corresponding folder to see if the file already exists, and iteratively name it if more than one occurs.

 - copy file 1234.pdf to folder in base directory 1234.
 - if 1234.pdf exists to name it 1234_1.pdf,
 - if another pdf is copied as 1234.pdf then it would be 1234_2.pdf.

Here is my code:

    import arcpy
    import os
    import re
    import sys
    import traceback
    import collections
    import shutil

    movdir = r&quot;C:\Scans&quot;
    basedir = r&quot;C:\Links&quot;

    try:
        #Walk through all files in the directory that contains the files to copy
        for root, dirs, files in os.walk(movdir):
            for filename in files:
                #find the name location and name of files
                path = os.path.join(root, filename)
                print path
                #file name and extension
                ARN, extension = os.path.splitext(filename)
                print ARN

                #Location of the corresponding folder in the new directory
                link = os.path.join(basedir,ARN)

                # if the folder already exists in new directory
                if os.path.exists(link):

                    #this is the file location in the new directory
                    file = os.path.join(basedir, ARN, ARN)
                    linkfn = os.path.join(basedir, ARN, filename)

                    if os.path.exists(linkfn):
                        i = 0
                        #if this file already exists in the folder
                        print &quot;Path exists already&quot;
                        while os.path.exists(file + &quot;_&quot; + str(i) + extension):
                            i+=1
                        print &quot;Already 2x exists...&quot;
                        print &quot;Renaming&quot;
                        shutil.copy(path, file + &quot;_&quot; + str(i) + extension)
                    else:

                        shutil.copy(path, link)
                        print ARN + &quot; &quot; +  &quot;Copied&quot;
                else:
                    print ARN + &quot; &quot; + &quot;Not Found&quot;

Python copy files to a new directory and rename if file name already exists

I am using the PowerShell script from [this answer][1] to do a file copy. The problem arises when I want to include multiple file types using the filter. 

    Get-ChildItem $originalPath -filter &quot;*.htm&quot;  | `
       foreach{ $targetFile = $htmPath + $_.FullName.SubString($originalPath.Length); ` 
     New-Item -ItemType File -Path $targetFile -Force;  `
     Copy-Item $_.FullName -destination $targetFile }

works like a dream. However, The problem arises when I want to include multiple file types using the filter. 

    Get-ChildItem $originalPath ` 
      -filter &quot;*.gif&quot;,&quot;*.jpg&quot;,&quot;*.xls*&quot;,&quot;*.doc*&quot;,&quot;*.pdf*&quot;,&quot;*.wav*&quot;,&quot;.ppt*&quot;)  | `
       foreach{ $targetFile = $htmPath + $_.FullName.SubString($originalPath.Length); ` 
     New-Item -ItemType File -Path $targetFile -Force;  `
     Copy-Item $_.FullName -destination $targetFile }

Gives me the following error:

    Get-ChildItem : Cannot convert &#39;System.Object[]&#39; to the type &#39;System.String&#39; required by parameter &#39;Filter&#39;. Specified method is not supported.
    At F:\data\foo\CGM.ps1:121 char:36
    + Get-ChildItem $originalPath -filter &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;  &quot;*.gif&quot;,&quot;*.jpg&quot;,&quot;*.xls*&quot;,&quot;*.doc*&quot;,&quot;*.pdf*&quot;,&quot;*.wav*&quot;,&quot;.ppt*&quot; | `
        + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-ChildItem], ParameterBindingException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgument,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetChildItemCommand

I have various iterations of parentheses, no parentheses, `-filter`, `-include`, defining the inclusions as variable (e.g., `$fileFilter`) and each time get the above error, and always pointing to whatever follows `-filter`.

The interesting exception to that is when I code `-filter &quot;*.gif,*.jpg,*.xls*,*.doc*,*.pdf*,*.wav*,*.ppt*&quot;`. There are no errors, but I and get no results and nothing back to the console. I suspect I&#39;ve inadvertently coded an impicit `and` with that statement?

So what am I doing wrong, and how can I correct it?

How to properly -filter multiple strings in a PowerShell copy script

I have an array of applications, initialized like this:

    depends=$(cat ~/Depends.txt)

When I try to parse the list and copy it to a new array using,

    for i in &quot;${depends[@]}&quot;; do
       if [ $i #isn&#39;t installed ]; then
          newDepends+=(&quot;$i&quot;)
       fi
    done

What happens is that only the first element of depends winds up on newDepends.

    for i in &quot;${newDepends[@]}&quot;; do
       echo $i
    done
    
^^ This would output just one thing. So I&#39;m trying to figure out why my for loop is is only moving the first element. The whole list is originally on depends, so it&#39;s not that, but I&#39;m all out of ideas.

Recently the new php7 has been released. However, when I am trying to install the gd package, the library can not be found.

I have tried through

Does anybody have an idea if gd is available for php 7?
