RESOLVED: The solutions for addition s1600 to image at Picasa

Recently, Picasa has changed their privacy and default size for images when you upload using API to be 512px. Mean of smaller than the original size of every images. Big problem, if your websites have embedded these images.

Picasa support give a solution like addition "s1600/Filename.jpg" instead of old name in every image urls. But I can't modify every post when my blog/websites have had more than hundreds or thousands post. Too much, to modify by hand :(

My solutions as the following hope to resolve this if you have same problems.

Solution 1: (update data in column containing image url by update query, tested for SQL Server)


update [e_Image] set
imageurl= replace(imageurl,reverse(left(reverse(imageurl), charindex('/', reverse(imageurl)) -1)),
's1600/'+ reverse(left(reverse(imageurl), charindex('/', reverse(imageurl)) -1))) 

Execute, and see the results.

Solution 2:  (use javascript to replace old file name with new name contain "s1600/" when page load)


This solution is coded  by youself.

Fix unicode characters error for PHP 5.3.6 using FastCgi on Windows Server 2003

I have ever seen an error, the websites on my windows server 2003 can not show the unicode characters as normal in my language when I update PHP engine using ISAPI module to FastCgi for performance.

It was a bad day, when my customers called to me to complain about this. Because they can not read their website content as everyday, the characters are really crazy.

Yes, cause of this problems because I updated to PHP using FastCgi protocol. This protocol has some changes for mysql library.

To fix it,
- Open : Path_to_mysql/my.ini
- Find: default-character-set=.... and edit to: default-character-set=latin1
- Find: character-set-server=.... and edit to: character-set-server=latin1
- Start menu => Run => enter: services.msc => Find mysql service and restart it.

Okey, my websites came back as normal, work fine for me.

Once you removed and reinstall Mysql on windows server 2003, you may facing to an error likes: "Can not start services".

To fix it, you have to remove all of the relating to mysql data at:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MySQL

and

C:\Program Files\MySQL (path to mysql implementation, this is an example of mine)

Okey, next step you may reinstall and restart mysql service as normal, it works for me.
