Re: [PHP] HTML & plain text in Outlook 2007
Ire ently needed to do this for a client as well. I took their word doc and converted it to HTML with open office. This created a template that I just do some search and replace to fill in the criteria. This has worked very well with outlook and hotmail and gmail. Not sure if it will fit your needs, but it could be worth a try.

RE: [PHP] How to change a filename for download (e.g. jpeg, pdf etc.)
Hi,
I finally got the time to test your solutions, the following is the best
solution and causes a minimum stress on the server and a decent security.
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="downloaded.pdf"');
readfile('original.pdf');
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the
past
(Script from php.net based on your hints.)
I have tested this in many ways, but before I did not know how this was
simple.

Looking at the ones I get from Facebook as an example, they use the boundary codes you mentioned, and I can't see anything particularly special that's been added. What order are you sending the two message parts by the way? I think the traditional way is to send the plain/text part first, so that UA's that don't understand or support multipart messages only use the first one. As you mentioned that you're seeing HTML code at the top, I'd hazard a guess that you're sending the HTML first? The problem is most likely NOT his email structure, but the fact that Microsoft in all their lock-in, make things difficult, non standard, monopolistic philosophy chose to switch out the IE HTML renderer (which was getting pretty decent with IE7 and IE8) with the Office HTML renderer... so now basic things like CSS padding of something as simple as a tag is not possible. You now need to use margins instead. The full list of supported attributes / CSS can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338201.aspx Obviously creating HTML emails was getting too easy (like it is with Thunderbird). Of course... I guess it could be as bad as Google stripping out the stylesheets entirely when viewing HTML content which forces you to put the styles on the tags themselves. ... actually I'm not sure what's worse... at least you can use standard styles with Google's gmail. Either way... making nice looking HTML emails that work across Outlook, Thunderbird, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail is a pain in the ass. Cheers, Rob. If he's getting HTML output at the top of the email, I would think that did suggest that MS Word didn't like the structure. Making HTML emails is now such a difficult job, as the email clients rendering engines tend to not get updated as often as browsers, and there doesn't seem to be any effort in bringing the rendering of the email clients together. Whenever I create these emails I try to make sure I try no to get too creative in the design, and use not only CSS styles, but properties of the HTML tags themselves. It means I end up writing the CSS essentially twice and backing it up with old deprecated HTML attributes, but it usually does the trick. Is there any effort by some standards group that email clients could benefit from? I think I skipped over some relevant information in the original post :) Still... as you've said... email HTML sucks... and MS made it worse.

[PHP] PHP generated HTML has submit button which picks up the wrong url.
Hi, I am writing code in PHP which generates HTML script. My app is fairly complex. Twice in the development of the application I have run into a problem with submit buttons which pick up the wrong url. Instead of call the url for that submit button, it appears to call the url for the first submit button on the page. The problem may be intermittent, which seems to suggest that something funny is happening with the cache. Clearing the cache did not help in the last go around. I am including the generated html code. Hitting the button 'Retrieve all ...' should call up the url get_query_forms.php. Instead it calls up the url query_form_display_data.php, which is the url for the first submit button on the page. Any clues to clear up this mystery would be greatly appreciated!

Re: [PHP] PHP generated HTML has submit button which picks up the wrong url.
This is actually a javascript issue rather than a PHP issue. What is
happening is that the action of the form is what is being submitted.
The action never changes. What you need to do is have the javascript
change the action as well as submit the form (which means you will need
to move it to a function). It would also help to empty out the form
action as well.
Example JS function:
function retrieveAllPerm()
{
document.display_data.action='http://unproto.demog.berkeley.edu/memdemo/edit_query_form.php?perm_batch_file=perm&pg_query_form_id=518&query_form_schema=permanent_queries';
document.display_data.submit();
}
Example submit button:
onClick="javascript:retrieveAllPerm();" >Revise query

Bit of advice though, don't use Javascript to submit a form. Firstly,
Javascript isn't available on all browsers, and on those it is available
on, not everyone has it turned on. The W3C has the stats for Javascript
being unavailable in a browser at about 5%. Imagine that your site is
only aimed at the population of the UK, 5% of 61 million is still over 3
million people. Obviously that doesn't take into consideration the ages
of people who'd b
Re: [PHP] PHP generated HTML has submit button which picks up the wrong url.
"What you maybe ought to consider is using several submit buttons, and
give each a name and a value. That way, your PHP script can check for a
specifically named variable sent from the form. That way, you keep many
people happy, and your site still works perfectly."
The problem with doing it that way is that IE is not happy with multiple
submit buttons in a single form. To get around that, you can use image
input types or buttons. Also, a return key does not send values the
same way as a mouse click. I can't remember which browser does what,
but the three possible submitted values are (providing the name of the
button is submit):
submit
submit_x and submit_y
submit_x, submit_y, and submit
Just something to be aware of if you are looking for the value of the
submit button -- not 100% reliable. It would be better to use a hidden
form value or just check to see if submit or submit_x is set.

This is actually a javascript issue rather than a PHP issue. What is
happening is that the action of the form is what is being submitted.
The action never changes. What you need to do is have the javascript
change the action as well as submit the form (which means you will need
to move it to a function). It would also help to empty out the form
action as well.
Example JS function:
function retrieveAllPerm()
{
document.display_data.action='http://unproto.demog.berkeley.edu/memdemo/edit_query_form.php?perm_batch_file=perm&pg_query_form_id=518&query_form_schema=permanent_queries'
;
document.display_data.submit();
}
Example submit button:
onClick="javascript:retrieveAllPerm();" >Revise query

I'm guessing you're doing something wrong. I often have multiple submit buttons.
