Set your mail client to use a fixed width font -- Lucida Console is my

Have you narrowed down the problem to whether the uploaded file is truncated 
or whether the mail attachment process truncates the file?

i have the following idea if you want to use standard HTML-PHP 
techniques:

if the amount of information is not too large, make use of URL-
attached variables and pass them to your repeater script, which
contains a form. Dont forget to attach also ...&submit=yes to it.
parse recieved variables in that script with and parsestr($argv[0])

If you would have used Metabase you would not have that problem because
Metabase has a function that you may call any time after you execute a
select query that returns the number of rows contained in the result
set. That is a standard feature of Metabase that works with every
database including Oracle.

I´m not shure, but ZEND offers some kind of IDE and nusphere has an IDE
which has a debugger built in , but who needs this??
Use an editor with macro functionality so u can set a macro which makes
something like if($debug){ echo something}, then you can set one var
to turn debugging on/off.
Are you shure you need PHP for your problems? Seems that you´re lucky
with M$ and their ek$pen$ive environments.

[PHP] Variable substitution

2002-04-21 Thread Greg Hulands

Hi,
I am trying to make an e-mail form so that I can generate an e-mail to send
to all the users of the system. In the message part I want to be able to do
something like this.

Dear $fName,
Welcome to .

When it then sends the e-mail, it should substitute $fName with the current
row in the database. For some reason it does not get automatically
substituted when using mail(to, subject, message). Is there a function that
substitutes variables with there values and returns a string.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks,
Greg

Depending on your existing code, your options include eval(), 
substr_replace(), str_replace().

Hi Jeff,

maybe it's a good idea to create a hidden HTML-form in the output frame.

In that case you can use javascript in your input frame in order to send
the given
values to the hidden form in your output frame. After that you can submit
the hidden form using the same javascript in your input form.

For example your output frame is called "output"

To fill your hidden frame with input data:

   output.document.forms[0].hidden_name.value="value";


I would simply create a hidden submit-button (using css display-function)

You can activate this button out of javascript with:

   output.document.forms[0].submit.click();


It's very simple, but I think it should work.


Greetings,

René

Hi there,

the function pg_exec only takes two strings withing his brackets.

1. Integer connection index (returned by pg_connect() )
2. Query string

Try changing your code to:   if (pg_exec($connect, $query))

Re: [PHP] Re: I would like to get a script to display in a frame

Umm

Can't you simply use:

output.document.forms[0].submit()


I did Javascript for 3 years but that was a while back now.. But there is
most definitely a submit function for forms so you don't have to use that
queer invisible submit trick..




... Hope that helps ...

[PHP] How to check flags?

2002-04-21 Thread albertonews

I don't know how to say this in english, so try to discover:

2 = Married
4 = Single
8 = With Children
16 = Without Children
32 = Man
64 = Woman

then we add the values we want
74 = Woman Married With Children

how to use this flag system in PHP? like, configuring:

2 = Block
4 = Menu
8 = System

12 = Module with menu and system


I want to explode the final value into the smaller ones

Look up the operators & and |

If you can give a more concrete example then I can give you a little code 
snippet.

RE: [PHP] Attachments

2002-04-21 Thread Jason Soza

I haven't been able to identify what process actually truncates the file.
All I know is that it's not my mailserver. I don't believe it's in the
coding either, as both Perl and PHP do this, and both work great otherwise.
Anyhow:

This reads the file from the form:
function get_file($filename){

$return = '';
if($fp = fopen($filename, 'rb')){
while(!feof($fp)){
$return .= fread($fp, 1024);
}
fclose($fp);
return $return;

}else{
return FALSE;
}
}

This adds any files to a list of attachments:
function add_attachment($file, $name = '',
$c_type='application/octet-stream', $encoding = 'base64'){
$this->attachments[] = array(
'body'  => 
$file,
'name'  => 
$name,
'c_type'   
 => $c_type,
'encoding' 
 => $encoding
  );
}

This adds a MIME subpart for the attachment:
function &add_attachment_part(&$obj, $value){

$params['content_type'] = $value['c_type'];
$params['encoding'] = $value['encoding'];
$params['disposition']  = 'attachment';
$params['dfilename']= $value['name'];
$obj->addSubpart($value['body'], $params);
}

This is out of the build mail function, adding the text and attachments to
an e-mail:
case $text AND $attachments:
$message =& $this->add_mixed_part();
$this->add_text_part($message, $this->text);

for($i=0; $iattachments); $i++)
$this->add_attachment_part($message, 
$this->attachments[$i]);
break;

Anything look wrong so far?

Just in case this may help, here's the part of the Perl script that adds
files to the e-mail. This script results in a truncation the same way as the
PHP script:

sub attachFilesToMail {
my $type = shift;
my $msg = shift;
my $hasBody = shift;
my ($key, $file);
while (($key, $file) = each %{$CONFIG{$type}}) {
($debug) && print STDERR "examining attachment $key, $file\n";
next unless ($key =~ /(\d+)file/ && -f $file);
my $attachNum = $1;
$file =~ m!/([^/]+)$!;
my $filename = $1;
my $mime_type =
$CONFIG{$type}->{"${attachNum}mime"};
($debug) && print STDERR "Attaching a mime type of $mime_type for
$filename ($key)\n";
unless ($mime_type) {
$mime_type = (!$fhBug && -T $file) ? 'text/plain' :

'application/octet-stream';
}
my @stats  = stat($file);
($debug) && print STDERR "Attaching $file ($stats[7] bytes) " .
 "to email\n";
my $data = { Path => $file,
 ReadNow => 1,
 Filename => $filename
 };
unless ($mime_type =~ /^text\//) {
$data->{'Encoding'} = "base64";
}

if (!$hasBody) {
$$msg->data("This is a MIME message with attachments");
}
my $m = $$msg->attach(%$data);
$m->attr("content-type" => $mime_type);
}
}

[PHP] Using an external program.

Hi all!

I am trying to interact with a simple exe program. I manage to get the
program started, but I need to send some commands to it as well. My script
looks like this:



And do I need to run the exec() function everytime I would like the program
to do some work for me? Is there a way to access the program later somehow,
without opening a "new" program?

Thankfull for all help and hints! : )

This should be the easiest to nail down. Add a bit of code so that when the 
file gets uploaded, it gets copied somewhere, then you can manually check its 
size. Obviously, if the filesize is OK then the problem is further down the 
line (probably the mail code).

RE: [PHP] Attachments

2002-04-21 Thread Jason Soza

Hmm... Okay, I used this script I found on hotscripts - it copies the entire
file to the specified directory:

  echo "Trying to upload to: "
 . $upload_path . $filename . "\n";

  if ( file_exists($upload_path.$filename) ) {
 echo ""
. $message["fileexists"]."";

  } else {
 if( move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],
   $upload_path.$filename) ) {
echo "" . $message["complete"]."";
 } else {
echo ""
   . $message["incomplete"]."";
 }

Now why would this work but the e-mail scripts not?

[PHP] phpLISTMAN

2002-04-21 Thread Randum Ian

Hi there,

I am trying to find a Mailing List Manager on the net that is written in PHP
that access a database of emails, and other information, in order to manage
and maintain a list of subscribers.

I have now decided to write my own, both to fill a possible niche in the PHP
code world, and also to further my understanding of PHP. I am asking your
help in providing me with a list of things that need to implemented into
this code in order to provide something that people want to use. I am
willing to make this code widely available to who ever wants it, and
eventually code something that will be useable by other people in the PHP
world.

I have thought of the following, and if people could suggest/add to this
list I would greatly appreciate it!

Control Panel
-Add User
-Delete User
-Validate Email
-Send Mail (HTML/Text)
-Archive Mail

HTML Generator
-Subscription Box
-Unsubscribe Box
-Statistics

Can anybody help me with this project codenamed "phpLISTMAN"???

Kind Regards, Ian.

Let's see. Double opt-in with cryptographic/time security, automatic bounce
message processing, programmable and scalable message handling, automated
relay centers for very large lists, both digest & regular versions, deny
processing, multiple posting addresses, management functions available via
email processining, moderation, etc. ...

In other words, you might want to look through all the man pages and code
for something like ezmlm and figure out if you want to duplicate all that
work. Mailing lists are non-trivial pieces of code, and one little mistake
can affect thousands of people (and your bandwidth).

Probably is.

What would be useful is a set of PHP programmatical interfaces to
other list managers (eg, Mailman), let them do what they do well, and
have PHP talk to them to add/subscribe/etc.  It's a real pity that
they don't have XML-RPC interface (that I know of).

Not to discourage your efforts, but there are an array of free and 
fee-based products written in PHP that handle mailing list. The 
bigger issue seems to be bi-directional distribution list (aka 
listservs), where both the owner and recipients can send mail.

But for pure mailing list management, you could look at the people at 
Octeth http://www.octeth.com, their email manager pro gets high 
ratings.  You could also test, try, and or modify one of the over 50 
mailing list scripts coded in PHP at HotScripts.com.

[PHP] Calling pg_connect from a class included..

I have recently been trying to create a class called Database with 
methods inside it to ease my coding with web applications. I've noticed 
though when I create an object from the class like
$x = new Database();
Then try to call the connectDB() method (function we call it in PHP) 
like so

$x->connectDb(bla bla bla bla);
I get the error message that the function cannot be found as if it is 
for some reason looking in the class itself for a function of pg_connect 
when it should be using the PHP libriaries instead. Anybody else run 
into this problem or know a way to fix it.

the file.

Also while I'm doing this a counter script will be reading this file, but
NOT writing to it. Will the file need to be locked while adding $newnumber
to it?

Thanks

[PHP] Re: Calling pg_connect from a class included..

2002-04-21 Thread Smileyq

Okay well I answered my own dumb question on this one the server on 
which I was running these on did not have postgresql support built in 
but now I'm running into another problem. When I try to disconnect from 
the server using pg_close in a method(function) I can't seem to find out 
which link to use because I called the connection with a method also. 
Any ideas?

Below is the code to the class

");
   } // end Database Constructor
   
   function connectDb($host,$user,$dbname,$pw)
   {
  print ("Starting Database connection...");
  $connection = pg_connect("host=$host user=$user dbname=$dbname 
password=$pw");
  
  return $connection;

   } // end connectDb method
   
   function freeResult($result)
   {
  pg_freeresult($result);
   } // end freeResult method
   
   function disconnectDb($con)
   {
  print ("Closing Connection...");
  pg_close($con);
   } // end disconnectDb method
}// end class Database

I might instead suggest focusing your efforts on making a really nice PHP 
front end for ezmlm. There are things it does that you'll never really be 
able to pull off in PHP, yet it's extremely ugly to configure, and 
therefore could use a hand. I've seen a few front ends for it but none of 
them impressed me all that much.

Creating a robust mailing list manager from scratch is not a trivial
exercise. Doing it in PHP - with one process, hamstrung by
environment-imposed execution time limits, etc., sounds like madness 
unless you're making something very lightweight.

Depending on your existing code, your options include eval(),

RE: [PHP] phpLISTMAN

2002-04-21 Thread Maxim Maletsky


The problem with PHP is that it would be a limited Mailing List. 

Imagine having a database of 100.000 subscribers (as my previous company
had 600.000). Can you handle it with PHP? We used Ezmlm. Over night, on
different server that seats away from our main bandwidth hub, with
limited bandwidth usage and it was doing it's work every Sunday Night.

PHP won't work easily because it is generally activated via browser. So,
the maximum amount of subscribers you can handle with the list written
entirely in PHP would be something like 1-4.000 or so still waiting for
a while to finish sending. It could be useful still, but I think it is
rather more painful than useful to you and your user.

I have once started such project followed by your very ideas: "no such
software in PHP - Let's write one!!!" But then, I got discouraged just
as I thought about it deeper. Look at Source-Forge for RealList - that
is my tentative (if you'll find it though).

A good extended interface to ezmlm could be a good idea though. I don't
like the one they have now.


Summary:
Whatever you write in PHP regarding emails, unless you connect it to
other languages like Ruby, Perl or Python that can run it in background
(consider PHP-GTK as well, still more than just PHP) your list will only
handle a small amount of subscribers and, not automatically (unless user
has the access to server what would also mean he can install something
other than your ML).

My 0.02 EuroCents.


Disclaimer:
Please note that I wasn't trying to be extra-precise here, so don't pick
on the words. The idea of this was rather important to explain.

Maxim Maletsky

RE: [PHP] Better standards in PHP-coding

2002-04-21 Thread Martin Towell

(Just got back from the weekend)

Just my 2c worth

IMHO, as long as the code is indented "properly", it doesn't matter where
the braces are, just be consistant. Personally, I prefer to put the opening
brace on a new line, but I can just as easily read other people's code when
the opening brace is on the same line (as long as it's indented properly).

As for indenting - I prefer using spaces and this ensures that my code will
look the same in someone else's editor as it does in mine. There are people
here, in the company, that use tabs and have set their tabs to be 4 spaces,
I have my tabs set to 8 spaces - really plays havoc when they indent quite a
distant :(

Also, with one line statements, I prefer to place it on the same line as the
statement that requires it (ie, function, if/else, while, do, etc). But,
again, as long as the coder is constant, I find it just as readable when the
statement is on a new line, surrounded by braces or not.

So what I'm basically saying is - choose a style that suits you, and be
_consistant_ with it - oh, and make sure you indent your code, there's
nothing worse than trying to read code that's not indented, or indented all
over the place!

It is in a way doable,

What about some game where when, being limited by timer, you type words
on the keyboard and get some questions to answer. The software would
have to "understand" the meaning and try to give you tougher but
relative question each time? Maybe using some RDBMS for that in
conjunction with PHP-GTK for the active interface?

That's an idea, no?

I had to make a puzzle game in PHP once, was painful enough that I still
enjoy playing that game myself ;-)

RE: [PHP] Better standards in PHP-coding

2002-04-21 Thread Maxim Maletsky


I think standardization within the company is what important.

I prefer tabs because when I have to delete a part of the line, I just
hit back button once - not four times.

But anyhow, programming style is the personal preference for every
programmer. There recommendations and team-wise standards, but that has
nothing to do with the general idea.

Re: [PHP] $server_path

2002-04-21 Thread Bogdan Stancescu

Well, you should first ask yourself if the SRC value is correct - and 
apparently it isn't, if that's indeed it. You should make sure you get 
$server_path parsed by PHP. OTOH, why $server_path? HTML uses "/" as the 
"document root", you don't need that. IOW, you should remove 
$server_path altogether and see if it works - it should.

[PHP] setting Apache's $REMOTE_USER externally

2002-04-21 Thread Sek-Mun Wong

(re-post into php.general)

I think this is an Apache question more than PHP, but I'll give it a
whirl.

Aside from the new apache_setenv in 4.2RC3+ (and I haven't tried), is
there a way to set $REMOTE_USER from PHP?

Let me explain:

I have an external (ie, custom) authentication process (hate basic auth)
but I want the web logs to reflect the user visits (ie, I think from
memory REMOTE_USER is the var that gets logged)

In any case, after authentication, I'd like to set $REMOTE_USER and fool
Apache into thinking that it's done a basic auth and will now log users
as per basic auth.

I've worked on an iPlanet server that's achieved this, but not without a
custom built NSAPI module (in this case would be Apache API)

I know it's pretty specific but if you can help at all I'd appreciate
it... My next step is hacking out an apache module, but that's a..
ahh... not so preferred approach ;-)

I prefer an editor which allows me to tab using spaces and to delete the 
appropriate number of spaces when backspacing :)

I should've suggest that earlier. When I had to recompile PHP with support 
for gd, ttf, png etc I had the same problem which was only solved by doing a 
clean installation. Now whenever I recompile, I do it from scratch.

The only thing that will match that regex is a single alpha character.

Try "^[[:alpha:]]+$" (I added a plus) to match one or more.
