Введение

PHP offers the ability to create Shockwave Flash files via Paul Haeberli's libswf module.

Замечание: SWF support was added in PHP 4 RC2.
The libswf does not have support for Windows. The development of that library has been stopped, and the source is not available to port it to another systems.
For up to date SWF support take a look at the MING functions.

Замечание: This extension has been moved to the PECL repository and is no longer bundled with PHP as of PHP 5.0.0.

Требования

You need the libswf library to compile PHP with support for this extension. You can download libswf at ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/graphics/grafica/flash/.

Установка

Once you have libswf all you need to do is to configure --with-swf[=DIR] where DIR is a location containing the directories include and lib. The include directory has to contain the swf.h file and the lib directory has to contain the libswf.a file. If you unpack the libswf distribution the two files will be in one directory. Consequently you will have to copy the files to the proper location manually.

Примеры

Once you've successfully installed PHP with Shockwave Flash support you can then go about creating Shockwave files from PHP. You would be surprised at what you can do, take the following code:
Пример 1. SWF example

<?php swf_openfile("test.swf", 256, 256, 30, 1, 1, 1); swf_ortho2(-100, 100, -100, 100); swf_defineline(1, -70, 0, 70, 0, .2); swf_definerect(4, 60, -10, 70, 0, 0); swf_definerect(5, -60, 0, -70, 10, 0); swf_addcolor(0, 0, 0, 0); swf_definefont(10, "Mod"); swf_fontsize(5); swf_fontslant(10); swf_definetext(11, "This be Flash wit PHP!", 1); swf_pushmatrix(); swf_translate(-50, 80, 0); swf_placeobject(11, 60); swf_popmatrix(); for ($i = 0; $i < 30; $i++) { $p = $i/(30-1); swf_pushmatrix(); swf_scale(1-($p*.9), 1, 1); swf_rotate(60*$p, 'z'); swf_translate(20+20*$p, $p/1.5, 0); swf_rotate(270*$p, 'z'); swf_addcolor($p, 0, $p/1.2, -$p); swf_placeobject(1, 50); swf_placeobject(4, 50); swf_placeobject(5, 50); swf_popmatrix(); swf_showframe(); } for ($i = 0; $i < 30; $i++) { swf_removeobject(50); if (($i%4) == 0) { swf_showframe(); } } swf_startdoaction(); swf_actionstop(); swf_enddoaction(); swf_closefile(); ?>

I am using ActiveSWF toolkit to produce dynamic Flash movies from XML. I like it, because only I need to produce new dynamic movie is new XML. PHP code is the same. Additionally, it has quite good documentation. See http://www.activeswf.com

Let's not forget to mention there IS another alternative to Swf-lib and Ming. It's called FreeMovie and is created by Jacek Artymiak from O'Reilly. This piece of art is made out of PHP-files only wich makes it suitable for many platforms. The project is also available via SourceForge as freemovie-php.



Thumbs up for that one!

Just to mention for users of SuSE 8.0. libswf is included with the distro with no fonts. Therefore you must "patch" libswf support. As I didn't find the solution here before and I found a solution I am posting this fix:

Download the libswf package and uncompress to a directory (e.g. /usr/share/php/swf). Then include 

"

SWFFONTPATH=/path/to/fonts

export SWFFONTPATH

"

Then log out and in again and restart apache. Then you should be able to use flash text functions within PHP.

For those having problems with libswf fonts you can add a system wide variable to point to the fonts dir in your shell.



In linux open up /etc/profile and add the lines :



SWFFONTPATH=/path/to/fonts

export SWFFONTPATH



Please not all of that is case sensitive, so copy it carefully. Logout and log back in to see changes (should affect all users). Test it from the command line with echo $SWFFONTPATH



For windows users you should be able to add 



SET SWFFONTPATH=/path/to/fonts 



in your autoexec.bat or autoexec.nt. Test it with echo %SWFFONTPATH%



HTH! =)

Hot to make it right.

I have a /kit/php4 folder

I made a flash folder into that folder. Looks like 

/kit/php4/flash

Here made 2 folders called lib and include

/kit/php4/flash/include

/kit/php4/flash/lib

Copy libswf.a in lib folder and swf.h in include folder

go to /kit/php4 folder and ./configure --with-swf=flash [--add your other configure params]

make

make install

works great

Note. In fact I have all unziped swf kit in /kit/php4/flash folder and I added the new 2 folder [lib and include]. Then copy specified files into them.

This works also! Write into the script: 

putenv ("SWFFONTPATH=/path_to_swf/fonts");

Maybe you can do the job with apache somehow, but it did't work for me. (With getenv it looked ok, but the swf failed to find the font)

I am using a Generator alternative Turbine - http://www.blue-pac.com - much cheaper than generator with a new version comming soon with builtin php support.

Writing on directory is not required. You can generate a run-time movie .. by replacing swf_openfile("<filename>", .... ) with swf_openfile("php://stdout", ....) and add before that an 

Header("Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash")

There are 2 prerequisites that must be met to run the test program:



1.) The directory where the test program resides in must be writeable to the PHP user (depending on installation either the apache user (module version of PHP4) or the script owner) 



2.) The fonts directory from the swflib  distribution must be in the same dir as the test script file  so when the test file is  foo/swftest.php  the fonts dir should be  foo/fonts/ containing Mod.f and Mod.l     



Otherwise you will get a segfault when executing the test program.

Fonts must be in the directory named "fonts". Lets see... if your code is in /www/swf.php4, you sould make a directory /www/fonts. If you use the example above, copy the files dist/fonts/Mod.f and dist/fonts/Mod.l of the source distribution to into /www/fonts/ to use the font Mod. I think you can use also SET_SWF_FONTS or similar
