Thanks for your reply Bobby.
I thought I might be able to use the to supress the errors. The way you
wrote the code below is close to what I am doing, sending the bulk emails
one at a time. I didn't see anything like $result= mail($to, $subject,
$msg) in the online PHP documentation. but it looks like it should do the
trick.
Thanks again.

hi
Anyone tell that abt mnoGoSearch function can config on WNT server.....
imran
attached mail follows:
I'm using the following short script to redirect users to another page
on my site (php 4.3.2, Apache 2.0.47).
<?php
$goLang='en';
header("Location: http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/" . $goLang . "/");
exit;
?>
I'm having a problem where it takes up to 15 seconds for the redirect
page to load, but for other redirects on the site programmed in a
similar way using php and the location header the page loads straight away.
I'm a bit perplexed and would appreciate some suggestions.
Thanks
Phil
attached mail follows:
try putting this after the header:
echo "<HTML></HTML>";
It forces the redirect to take place immediately (in most cases!).

Use mysql_result() if you want to fetch a single column directly.

Student Suspended over Use of PHP:

attached mail follows:
I have a program that I am writing in PHP/MySQL. I have made some upgrades
to the database and like an idiot, forgot to write down the changes or to
make the changes in several other databases for the other clients that are
using the program also. What I am trying to do is to have a program,
(preferably in PHP) that will look at the structure of the main database
that I changed, then it will check the other databases to make sure that
the structure is identical and if not, it will change them to make them
identical. Is there a program already out there that would do this? Or is
there someone out there that can help me to write it?
Thanks

attached mail follows:
I currently have some code in a document management system that is used to
check-out a document.
It looks like this:
//Update the status of the document
$query = "UPDATE $table_data SET status = '$SESSION_UID' WHERE id = '$id'";
$result=&$conn->Execute($query);
//Download the document.
header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$realname");
readfile($filename);
The problem I am having is that when the download is canceled by the user
the document still shows up as being checked out. Is there a way to know if
the document has been successfully downloaded before I update the database.
Something like:
//Download the document.
header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$realname");
readfile($filename);
//Determine if download is successful????. Set download variable.
if($download=1)
{
//Update the status of the document
$query = "UPDATE $table_data SET status = '$SESSION_UID' WHERE id =
'$id'";
$result=&$conn->Execute($query);
}

The connection handling section of the manual may help you...
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/features.connection-handling.php
You could possibly use register_shutdown_function() and
connection_aborted() to set the status back if the connection was
cancelled.

It is executing your if(connection_aborted()==0) as soon as it
gets to it when parsing the code instead of when the connection with
the broswer terminates. You need to use
register_shutdown_function() as well. I tested this code...
<?php
register_shutdown_function("myshutdown");
header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
readfile("verybigfile.mpg");
function myshutdown(){
if(connection_aborted()==0){
exec ("net send ZXC connection_aborted()==0");
} else {
exec ("net send ZXC connection_aborted()!=0");
}
}
?>
..and it worked fine. Notice I used "net send ZXC" (ZXC is my
Windows computer name) as you cannot echo after the connection has
closed.

But this I would take issue with -- as I said in my original email, you tend to get more-focussed error messages if you accidentally omit one of the end-tags than if you omit a closing brace. It's also more obvious exactly *which* end-tag you've left out. (Although I did once spend half a day completely failing to spot a missing "endif" right where the error message was pointing, and chasing all sorts of other red herrings before seeing the error and turning the local air blue in disbelief!!!).
Cheers!

|Getting these errors at the last line in your script generally means that
|you omitted a closing '}'.
|
|So when you would do :
|
|<?php
|function something () {
| print ("done");
|?>
|
|You will get a similar error. Check all of your functions and
|if/else/foreach/ etc. structures for an omitted '}' to fix your script.\
|
|Good luck!

Proper indenting should help you solve this issue. Check other threads or
the pear manual for ideas. As annoying as this error is, it is not so
nearly difficult to fix as the "you're missing something and php is only
going to output a blank page with no error information" error that I get
way too often.

The only way I know is to use sessions.
Each time they load the page, you would check a session variable that you
use store the status of a specific page. E.g.
if($_SESSION['ReloadStatus']['ContactUs'] == true)
{
//Page has already been loaded once. This is a reload.
//--------[ Your code here ] ----------\\

//Page hasn't already been loaded. This is the first visit.

That's not going to work if all you are interested in doing is
catching when the user clicks the 'Reload' button. How do
you know the user didn't go to another page then come back
to the 'Contact Us' page? What you probably want to do is
something like this:
if($_SESSION['CurrentPage'] == 'ContactUs' ) {
}
$_SESSSION['CurrentPage'] = 'ContactUs';
Or something along those lines.

The way I prevent reloads is with a combination of session
variables and an extra form field, here is how I go about it:
form_page.php:
<?
$formhash = md5(uniq(rand() . time()));
$_SESSION['formhash'] = $formhash;
// Add this to your form:
?>
<input type="hidden" name="_formhash_" value="<?php echo $formhash?>">
process_page.php:
<?
// grab the session var and test its existance
if ( $formhash = $_SESSION['formhash']) ) {
// clear out hash in session so if the user refreshes this
// page and has a _formhash_ var it will be considered bad
unset($_SESSION['formhash']);
// test the form var against the session
if ($formhash != $_REQUEST['_formhash_']) ) {
// user did not come from the form that generated page
// so hash is invalid
}
}
} else {
// invlalid data, has no hash
}
This should be generic enough so it can be used on all form
processing pages without any modifications.
You do have to make sure that the form_page.php does not get cached
by the browser.

"I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure."
attached mail follows:
My personal favourite is to logically separate actions and views, which
is very easy to do and is virtually foolproof.
This way a user submits a form to a page that outputs nothing. This
page does its work, then redirects to another page which only shows
data. This is invisible to the user, and the browser doesn't remember
anything about the action page. If the user clicks refresh, they will
not be performaing any actions, just refreshing the view. They would
have to manually go back and resubmit the form to repost the data.
If you need to use data from your action on your screen, just use the
session...
An (untested, and off the top of my head) example of this is below:
<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_REQUEST['action']))
{
// do something
$_SESSION['action_data'] = 'action_data';
session_write_close();
header("Location: {$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']}?screen=foo");
}
else if (isset($_REQUEST['screen']))
{
// show the page
print "Here's the results from my action:";
print_r($_SESSION['action_data']);
}
else
{
// default operation (welcome page, etc)
header("Location: {$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']}?screen=default");
}
?>

I cannot make PHP release the port after it binds
to it, the following script should just open a
port, accept one line of input, write the contents

It works fine, with the exception of if I run it
again, it reads the port as still being bound. Any
ideas on how to fix my script, or atleast free the
port without having to reboot?

Hi!
I've got a problem with preconfigured server (Apache 1.3/MySQL 3/PHP 4):
Files and directories created by a PHP script are always owned by the apache
user and apache group. But the script itself is inside of a virtualhost
which has another user and group (web2 / ftponly)!
So in fact the script has to run with the rights of the user web2?? Perhaps
it does, but files/dirs are create with owner apache.
I want the files, created by the script, to be owned by web2.
The important part (I think ;-) of httpd.conf looks like:
-snip-
User apache
Group apache
NameVirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80
php_admin_flag safe_mode On
php_admin_value safe_mode_exec_dir /var/www/empty
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80>
ServerName xxx.yyy.xxx
ServerAlias xxx.zzz.yyy
DocumentRoot /var/www/web2/html
User web2
Group ftponly
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/web2/html/cgi-bin/
php_admin_value open_basedir /var/www/web2/
php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/www/web2/phptmp/
</VirtualHost>
-snap-
Hint: /var/www/web2 is the homedirectory of web2, he has all rights there.
Can anybody help me? What do I have to change?

PHP runs as a module inside of apache, so any files it creates are owned by
the Apache user. That's the way it works.
If you run PHP as a CGI, this does not happen. Or use FTP to make files.

And there is no other way? No way to configure it? Or, are there any
hacks/patches, workarounds?
This way, it seems to me like security hole, because I have to use 0777
while creating, then everybody could do everything with the files. Well,
there is the open_basedir setting, put then, what's about other user doing
other things (not PHP)?
No way?

Yes that is a big security hole. There are some hosting solutions,
I cant really help you there, but this concept I think should work
would be:
permissions: 0770
user/group: $virtualuser/apache
where $virtualuser is the user's ftp login, shell access (if
available).
now only the user and the apache process (thus php) can write to it. the files
are even locked out for anybody to see. Now with the combination of
open_basedir, it should all be safe.
I hope that puts you in the right direction,
the above stuff is just a concept and not guaranteed

Hmm, well. It may be "more" secure, but there is still the problem, that
every $virtualuser can access the files. You still have to hope that there
is now "bad" $virtualuser.

perhaps a little more detail on how things would be set up:
Folder strucure user/group permissions
/www/virtual1-domain.com/www/ virtual1/apache 0770
/www/virtual2-domain.com/www/ virtual2/apache 0770
thus virtual1 cant touch virtual2's files and vice versa.

the trouble with this is what if no-one hits the page for several hours?
will it run 3-4 updates at once, or just the one?
i'm guessing what your actually after is cron. you'd be running it on a *nix
box for this, but you get cron to run the script every hour.
i'm guessing your making some kind of ticker? similar to that in
www.planetarion.com ? it's a fairly easy thing to do, and if you do a search
for planetarion clones, you'll find exactly what your looking for.
don't have a script that runs permanently tho, please. huge waste of
resources, and you've also got the problems of timeouts, and how to restart
a script if it crashes.

I make a database connection outside of my classes... lets call it

If no one has a better Idea I'll pass the connection through the constructor

class... then I can query and use the database connection as
$this->myDBConnection.... Just wanted to avoid that because there's about 5
db connections I'll have to pass in...
Any thoughts? Would it make things easyer if the base class inherited all
nested classes instead of nesting them?
Any help would be appreciated.

what I do is have a global array of classes and register each class
like this:
class a {
function a(){
global $classes;
$classes['a'] =& $this;
}
}
class b {
var $a;
function b(){
global $classes;
if(isset($classes['a'])){
this->a =& $classes['a'];
}else{
$this->a = new a();
}
}

I'd recommend starting simple.
Paragraph breaks are two carriage returns (Enter, Enter). Give the writers some
ability to do bold, italic, etc. by using something that isn't html (I don't
store html tags in text fields). For example +b+would make this bold-b-, or
+i+would make this italic-i-. You can also have +c+ to center -c- and could do
the same thing with +16+sizes-16- and +red+colors-red-
Then, when displaying the text, translate what they have into html. +b+ becomes
<b> and -b- becomes </b>. +c+ become <div align="center"> and -c- become
</div>, etc.
Images are a bit different. I let them specify the content and order of images
(uploaded with the content), but I have the script align them where appropriate
(count the number of paragraphs, insert the images in between appropriately,
alternating sides [right, left, right, etc.]).
I find these simple things work for two reasons. First, authors are used to
editors doing things with their text; think of a magazine or newspaper editing,
cutting, putting in pictures, etc. Second, authors don't want to learn html any
more than they want to learn page layout programs. Give them some basic
formatting stuff and add more as needed.

But isn't this just defining your own version of something like
bbcode? And wouldn't you be better off using bbcode in that case,
when there are plenty of classes for parsing it already out there?
You could even edit the parsers to limit the set of tags available to
your users.

My script currently works; printing the date that it extracts from mysql
table.
It prints the date as:
2004-01-29
$mailed=$row["mailed"];
$payment=$row["payment"];
$ID=$row["ID"];
echo "<TR><TD>$mailed</TD><TD>$payment</TD></TR>";
I'm trying to change the format so that the date appears as:
January 29, 2004
$mailed=$row["mailed"];
$payment=$row["payment"];
$ID=$row["ID"];
$thisdate=date("F/d/Y",$row->mailed);
echo "<TR><TD>$thisdate</TD><TD>$payment</TD></TR>";
This gives the right format, however, it seems to be trying to do the
current date rather then my submitted date?
Any idea how I do this?

Try this:
$mailed=$row["mailed"];
$payment=$row["payment"];
$ID=$row["ID"];
$Timestamp=strtotime($row[mailed]);
$thisdate=date("F/d/Y",$Timestamp);
echo "<TR><TD>$thisdate</TD><TD>$payment</TD></TR>";
Before you can use date with a string I believe you have to get the
timestamp from your string and then use that to format date.

You can do it by selecting the formatted date from the mysql server using
the DATE_FORMAT command which would be:
SELECT DATE_FORMAT('%M %D, %Y', date_field_name_or_mysqldate);

Great!
I actually had 2 dates - using your suggestion as follows worked:
$mailed=3D$row["mailed"];
$payment=3D$row["payment"];
$ID=3D$row["ID"];
$Timestamp=3Dstrtotime($row[mailed]);
$mailedf=3Ddate("F d, Y",$Timestamp);

This should be a simple question but I can't find the answer in the manual.
is it necessary to global variables or constants in functions?
i.e.
function Foo()
{
global $PHPSESSID;
global SID; // how would you do that anyway?
}
Thanks in advance
Daryl
attached mail follows:
phpsessid is the default name of the session cookie sent from the browser to
PHP. So it becomes part of the $_COOKIE array, which PHP automatically
turns into a global variable for you.
Therefore I use $_COOKIE['phpsessid'] to retrieve it.
But often I use session_name() to replace phpsessid with a more descriptive
name. In that case, the key in the cookie collection is changed
accordingly.
So it seems there's nothing special about phpsessid other than it being the
default cookie name.

Hello,
I'm looking for a fairly simple program. What I want is a program that
will send an email to a predetermined address at a predetermined time.
For example, I forget my family and friends birthdates very easily. I'd
like to enter a "task" or a "note" for each person and tell the program
to remind me of their birthday every day for two weeks before their
actual birthdate. I also want to enter two email addresses so that the
program will email at work and at home.
Is there something out there already that does this or should I write it
myself?
Thanks,
Chris.

Hi Chris,
its always more fun to write your own, however, check php project our
(might be spelled projekt, I can't remember). Should be on freshmeat or
sourceforge. It might do what you want.

I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of
love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is
only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one's being,
or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity. - George Sand

That is a very cool idea, except that I want to schedule anything at all
and have access to the code. But still that's a great thing for someone
that doesn't know how to program but still wants a birthday reminding
service.

Good thing I don't regard it as a mortal sin or I'd be in trouble!
