Only if you can provide some details:
1) State what you're trying to do
2) Show the code that you're using
3) State what you expect the code to do
4) State what the code is actually doing
If (3) and (4) are different then:
i) Enable full error reporting and study any error messages you get
ii) Use print_r() and var_dump() to examine all your variables.

What does the php error logs say?
And your mail logs?

And presumably it had worked before you did the upgrade? The tone of your
original post suggested that the upgrade broke the mail functionality?

I just upgraded to PHP 4.3.5 and now my email functionality does not work. I do have the SMTP setting in the php.ini set up and did restart Apache. We are running a Windows 2000 server and Apache 2.0.49. Any ideas?
A few ideas/suggestions :
Does your smtp server require authentication before sending? If so, the
default mail() function in PHP can't handle SMTP authentication. Could
be that it changed since your upgrade.
Does turning up the error_reporting level (E_ALL) print any
warnings/notices?
Can you ping the smtp server from your web server?
Do other (non-PHP) mail applications work?
Can you send mail using the same smtp server from a mail client running
from the webserver?
Is it possible to scan the logs of the smtp server to see what is going on?
Hopefully these can lead you in the right direction.

umask() and/or chmod()
However it is odd, files uploaded via HTTP should be owned by the "webserver",
which in your case ought to be 'wwwrun'? What is the user that the webserver
is running under and who is the owner of the uploaded files?

But presumably one still has to wait for PHP 4.35 to be released ;-)

I'm using this on Apache. You need to include 'inc/globals.php' in your
script.
inc/globals.php
<?
require_once('functions.php');
define('RELPATH', GetRelativePath());
?>
inc/functions.php
function GetRelativePath() {
$RELPATH = str_replace(UpDirectory(__FILE__), '',
dir_name($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME]));
$RELPATH = substr_count($RELPATH, '/');
if ( $RELPATH>0 )
$RELPATH = str_repeat('../', $RELPATH);
else
$RELPATH = '/';
return ConvertSlashes($RELPATH);
}
function UpDirectory($directory, $level=1) {
while ( $level-- > 0 )
$directory = dirname(dirname($directory));
return ConvertSlashes($directory);
}
function ConvertSlashes($st) {
$st = str_replace('\\\\', '/', $st);
$st = str_replace('\\', '/', $st);
return $st;
}
function dir_name($directory) {
return ConvertSlashes(dirname($directory));
}

Is there anyway that i can get a url relative to my server for a script that

The script is being included in mulitple files and $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']
just gives me the name of the file that is including the other scripts.
Also $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] is returning nothing.
Thanks

Hallo !
I run PHP 4.1.2.
I want to set the user_agent which gets sent
along when fetching file via the fopen(...) call.
Normally this is "PHP/VERISON" in my case "PHP/4.1.2"
I want to set a different user_agent.
I *believe* you can set this via header(), but its still early here. A
sure-fire way to find out is to see how snoopy (snoopy.sf.net) does it.

Hello all,
I'm facing this problem and tried many solutions with no success. How do I reset the
value of PHP_AUTH_USER and PW.
I've tried session_destroy(), but as I'm not starting any session at all, it's not
worth.
I've tried using random value to include in header.
Now what should I do?
Thanx in adv for any suggestion/help

Are you trying to logoff a user using http autheniation? Provide a
logoff link in this form:
<a href="http://nonexistentuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Logoff</a>
This sets the login credentials in the browser to nonexisting user, so
your code will return 401 response and the browser will ask the user for
username and password again.
I'm not sure if this method works in IE with the latest security patch
installed. These should ignore username and password in links.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply. but what I'm looking for is, yes logoff the user, but
not making him/her click some link. I've this page and I want it to ask for

Thanks anyway

so, if I set php_admin_value open_basedir in httpd.conf, and I give
.htaccess AllowOverride permissions, can users Override the
open-basedir I set? And, how can I give out some Override's, but not
php_admin_value's?

Hi there,
I am just about to install a new server and I was wondering if php now
workes fine with apache2.x. I remember that there have been problems
some while ago. Is this fixed and is it good enough for production
servers?
Thanx,
Merlin

From http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php :
The following versions of PHP are known to work with the most recent
version of Apache 2.0:
* PHP 4.3.0 or later available at /downloads.php.
* the latest stable development version. Get the source code
http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz or download binaries for Windows
http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip.
* a prerelease version downloadable from http://qa.php.net/.
* you have always the option to obtain PHP through anonymous CVS.
These versions of PHP are compatible to Apache 2.0.40 and later.
Note: Apache 2.0 SAPI-support started with PHP 4.2.0. PHP 4.2.3
works with Apache 2.0.39, don't use any other version of Apache with PHP
4.2.3. However, the recommended setup is to use PHP 4.3.0 or later with
the most recent version of Apache2.
All mentioned versions of PHP will work still with Apache 1.3.x.
I think that about answers your question :)

From http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php :
BUT the third line says:-
"Do not use Apache 2.0 and PHP in a production environment
neither on Unix nor on Windows."
Not that I found until after I had already got a configured
system running :)
Currently been running both PHP4.3.4 and PHP5RC1 24/7 on W2k
with Apache2.0.48 and Firebird 1.5. No crashes in last two
weeks and every error can be identified. So I don't think I
will be changing to Apache1 any time soon ;)
On of the packages running is an ibWebAdmin demo and that is
starting to see quite heavy use.

Hi there,
thanx for the hint with apache2.x and php4.x.
I am now trying to build php, but the make command failes while configure did well?!
This is the cinfigure command I used:

Hi there,
in my previous post I wrote that I tryed to install php4.x with apache2.x and it generated problems with a module.
Now I installed apache 1.3.29 and it still does throw the same errors during make of php4.x
My guess is that this is coused because I have compiled sablot and curl by hand, while
it was already installed
and now the versions get into conflict. I dont know how to solve this.
This is what make says:
/home/merlin/sw/php-4.3.5/ext/curl/curl.c:898: warning: passing arg 2 of
`curl_formadd' from incompatible pointer type
make: *** [ext/curl/curl.lo] Error 1
If I configure without curl another error exits the make:
/usr/local/lib/libsablot.so: undefined reference to `operator new(unsigned)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [sapi/cli/php] Error 1
Has anybody an idea?
Many thanx in advance!

I am having a login page which goes to login process file. I have a include
file which connects to database. Till now all was ok suddenly it started
showing following
---------------------------
Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in
/home2/www/members/login-px.php on line 6
------------------------
This line is nothing but where i included my file for database connection.
My client got very upset, i am also not understanding why suddenly this
popped out when for last 6 months nothing was wrong.
I did not change anything neither my client. I tested db connection
separately - it is ok. Then what can be the problem? The environment is
Apache / MySQL / Linux / PHP.
Thanks in advance,

Dear all,
