Hi all...

in the past i'd worked for a web development company. We had some
Windows, some MacOSX and some Linux workstations and a central
Dedian development server. The best solution to work with an IDE 
was the use of Eclipse with the needed plugins. On every machine the
same environment for development and the individual stuff for
design/grafix and more. No problems with a central subversion/CVS
repo and a NFS/Samba share for the apache document root on the devel
server.

regards
Mario

RE: [PHP] Cannot send a hyperlink

[admin]

The Answer is quiet simple.


$E_MAIL = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$to  = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "To: Their Name<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> \r\n";
$headers .= "From: your email <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n";
$link = "http://www.zoneofsuccessclub.com";;
$mailmsg = "BLAH BLAH BLAH link:zoneofsuccessclub";
$mailsubject = "what ever you want to say";
mail("$E_MAIL", "$mailsubject", "$mailmsg", "$headers");



You can use the database to generate the $E_MAIL address and the $to
Never Ever had this to not work.
Your problem is the Headers are missing which allows the html content to
embed into the email.

Try that I think you will be happy.

Brad I'm sorry.

Instead of insulting you and telling you to go read a book I simply
explained an option. 

Yes you do not need quotes in the mail() function.

As for the declared variables I was trying to show you an example. 

You will find many explanations for how or what is best practice.
Remember that some people like to toot a horn that can be reputed in many
ways. These are the same people who again and again are not the ones who
answer the questions, yet try to take credit by belittling the answer with

The answer was intended to take you in a better direction when constructing
a email application in php.

[PHP] What to do when flush() doesn't?

[Jon Westcot]

Hi all:

I am trying to get information from a rather long-running PHP script to 
send out messages to the client as things are being processed.  In reading the 
manual, it seemed that using flush() was the ideal command for this.  Well, it 
doesn't seem to be working for me.  I've even tried sending over a large number 
of blanks (like 4096 of 'em) before doing anything, but still no go.

The flush() activity is supposed to occur on a page that has POSTed back to 
itself, so perhaps that's causing the heartburn?

Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this type of user mollification?

Thanks,

Jon

[PHP] functions versus includes

[Frank Lopes]

I just started using PHP and got to think...

Without getting into the discussion of "best practices", strictly from  a

what is faster: a function or an include?

For example I have a block of text that needs to appear mutliple times

Will I be better off creating a function with its contents and then later

Specifically, ViM (Vi iMproved) for me.  It's rare that I do much

what do you imagine the code might look like in the .inc file?
if you create a variable in global scope in your first script say
$a = 5;

then in another file you intend to include you modify it, again in global
scope,

if($a > 5) {
$a = 10;
} else {
$a = 0;
}

well i think that is really messy.
getting to the function idea..  were you planning to put the function in the
same file and thats why you view it as an alternative to including a file?
i would at least create a function and put it in the file you intend to
include.
i imagine it will be a hair slower, but it will be much more organized.

Micro-optimization is pretty useless. I seriously doubt you would notice 
any difference in performance.


This comes under the other discussions like about which is faster - a 
foreach/while/for loop.


You'll find other bottlenecks (eg changing a regex to do an str_replace) 
which will make a bigger difference.

Wouldn't it be simpler to add some timers in and check for yourself?

Actually, if you're going to use a comparison between using regex and
string replacement as an example of lower hanging optimization fruit, I
think you'll find the difference between invoking a function and
including a file to be on par. The function is by far the better
solution when considering speed.

Cheers,
Rob.

Re: [PHP] Need a hint how to track an error

Wrong list! Try a Javascript list.

I used the error console from Firefox combined with a lynx output to

what line it is.

The error output in IE is:

Line: 2
Char: 104
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method

In Firefox:
Line 225
Field has no properties
http://xxx.xxx.xx/mypage.php


Not even the same line!!!  Line 114 ~ 250 is a long comment!

Is there a tool to find the problem?

Nothing to do with php, your problem is javascript.

You might get more help on the php-install list rather than this one.

rob is right.  i said screw it and wrote out a series of test scripts; just
got
curious.  so, there is one file which includes an external script that
operates
on a variable in global scope; then there is a script which defines a
function
internally; then there is a script which includes another script with that
function
defined in it.
the last one won each time; quite to my surprise.

As I said, it's a micro-optimization *shrug*. 0.0004 seconds difference 
over 10 iterations - wow ;)

actually it was just one iteration; the output isnt very clear, but thats
the
value of a variable.
anyway, i was surprised to see the function was faster at all.  i though the
include would be faster.
so not only is the function faster (if only but a bit) its also cleaner as
well.
i think a decision between the 2 approaches no-brainer.

I'd go for the approach that makes more sense in the application 
regardless of the milliseconds involved. If that's an include that's 
what I'll use.


In the scheme of the whole app it won't make any difference.

You'll waste so much time on "optimizing" crap like this when fixing a 
bad database query will actually make a noticable difference, or instead 
of calling a function inside a loop 50 times, you call it once and pass 
all the data in through an array.
