Using Intervention package to compress images. My images are not being compressed, still the same size - development

Using Intervention package to compress images. My images are not being compressed, still the same size I’m using this package http://image.intervention.io/getting_started/installation to compress my images that’s uploaded to my server. However the images are not being compressed. First I installed the Intervention package by putting this in my terminal: composer require intervention/image Then I added this at the top of my controller: use InterventionImageImageManagerStatic as Image; Then I added the encode to minify the image Image::make(request()->file(‘img’))->encode(‘jpg’, 1); It’s not minifying the image. It’s still the same size. <?php namespace AppHttpControllers; use InterventionImageImageManagerStatic as Image; use IlluminateSupportFacadesStorage; use IlluminateHttpRequest; class UploadsController extends Controller { public function store() { // Get image $img = request()->file('img'); // Mini...

Using PHP and MySQL data to generate PDF letters like in MS Word mailmerge functionality - development

Using PHP and MySQL data to generate PDF letters like in MS Word mailmerge functionality I would really like to know if there is a way like MS Word mailmerge functionality that can be done using PHP and Mysql data. Like i have address data in MySQL (suppose 10 numbers) and through PHP i want to insert that address data in a pre-defined letter head area. And it will automatically generate 10 different letters with same content but different address in PDF. Can it be done? Any start up point will be helpful. As I am working on Laravel so any snippet of that sort will also be useful. Thanks in advance. from Laravel Questions and Answers https://laravelquestions.com/php/using-php-and-mysql-data-to-generate-pdf-letters-like-in-ms-word-mailmerge-functionality/ via Lzo Media

ng-include of inline SVG does not display gradient except in Chrome

I have setup an NG-INCLUDE which loads an SVG file that has classes “hover_color_change” so that the correct polygons can have their fill attribute updated: <div class="prod-illustration-div col s12 m8"> <div class="prod-svg-wrapper" ng-include="'/img/illustrations/illustration_' + productIdObj.illustration + '.svg'" onload="defaultFill(productIdObj.colors)"> </div> </div> I then have color swatches which trigger the $scope.hoverColorText() which calls the updateSVGFill() method to display the SVG fill matching the hover color and creates a shading of gradient so it’s not a solid color. Here is live link – WORKS IN CHROME In Chrome it works, however, in Safari, FF, Edge, it does not. I referenced this suggested answer which suggests referencing the ID attribute, which I believe I am already doing: $scope.defaultFill = function (colors) { if (colors) { var defaultCol...
