Is there a way with PHP to access a file on a server and save only the first half of the file?

I want to give users a preview of certain files on my site and will be using scribd API. Does anyone know how I can access the full file from my server and save the file under a different name , which I will then show to users..Can't think of a way to do this with PHP for .docx and image files...Help is much appreciated.

    For "splitting" images, use an image processing library like gd to crop the image (lots of examples to be found on how to do that all over the place). For Word documents, use a library like PHPWord (or one of the other myriad such libraries) to open the document, remove/extract as much text as you need, then save that into a new Word file.

    For other file types, find the appropriate method that allows you to manipulate that format, then do whatever you need to do with it.

Slow Android emulator

By User
I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?

Java Urban Myths

By User
Along the line of C++ Urban Myths and Perl Myths : What are the Java Urban Myths? That is, the ideas and conceptions about Java that are common but have no actual roots in reality . As a Java programmer, what ideas held by your fellow Java programmers have you had to disprove so often that you've come to believe they all learned at the feet of the same drunk old story-teller? Ideally, you would express these myths in a single sentence, and include an explanation of why they are false.
