[PHP] Mailing list server with PHP frontend

2003-07-11 Thread Juan Nin
Hi!
I want to know if anyone knows about a good mailing list manager that has
got a PHP administration frontend

I've found many PHP scripts for sending newsletters and announcementes, but
that's it's not what I want
I want a system like Mailman, Sympa or Majordomo (the mailing list server
may be programmed in Perl or whatever), but it must provide a PHP frontend
for administration, subscription, etc

It would be great if messages are stored in a database like MySQL and it
must be free software
Does this exist??

Thanks in advanced,

Juan

nope, I had already seen it..

that's the kind of software I found lots, it's for sending announcements via
a web form to subscribed users, but it's not a mailing list server

thanks anyway

seems nice, but the problem is I'm not using qmail, I'm using Postfix, and
ezmlm works with qmail..  :(
thnx anyway!!!

I'm looking into programming a PHP interface to Sympa which is programmed in
Perl
haven't looked at it too much yet, I hope it isn't too much complicated..

the problem is that the script should send a "RCPT TO" for every recipient,
and it only send it for $to
so this script only works with the $to field, neither the $cc nor $bcc will
work...

moreover, the "$content .= "Bcc: $bcc\r\n";" line should not go!!!
if not you are putting the info about the BCC in the mail headers and
everyone will be able to see it..

after the "RCPT TO" for the $to variable, you should check if $cc is
defined, if it is, then do the same for that variable, and then the same for
$bcc

also remember to remove the line I told before that adds the Bcc in the mail
headers...

but, IMHO, that script isn't well coded as you have already seen, and I also
don't like the way it's programmed, it's very rudimentary... I would use
phpmailer as someone told you before instead..

Besos!!!

I'm really surprised at this script...

I can't believe someone posted that script for being downloaded while it has
several things that are completely wrong!!!
Specially the including the BCC in the header's in a way that anyone can see
it!!!

obviously this programmer did not have many clues on how SMTP works, and
didn't waste many of his time investigating it...
it really surprises me..

Re: [PHP] Protecting files with PHP

2003-07-17 Thread Juan Nin
I need to do the same and a .htacces file would not suite the problem
I need to do as yahoogroups does

When you upload a file to the Files section, it send by default an e-mail to
the group members with a link to the file
When you click on the link, you're sent to a login page, and after login in
you get the file..

how can you achieve this with PHP??
an .htaccess file would deny the access, or ask for a username/passwd at
HTTP Server level, and that is not the desired effect..

I experienced the same problem once...
It really amazed me...

I had some conditions like:

if ( some_thing ){ do_something }
if ( some_other_thing ){ do_something_else }
if ( yet_another_thing ){ do_another_more_thing }

they were stupid conditions, with no possibility of error...
I checked them many times to see if I was not having some stupid error, but
there was no error

The results were weird, and not as expected unless I added an else
statement..
It was on a Red Hat 7.1 system, but I can't remember the exact PHP version
maybe it was a bug, but I had the same problem, and it was definitively not
an error of my code..

Yes, stick with apache-1.3.x
Latest 1.3.x version RPM from Red Hat for RH 7.3 is apache-1.3.27-2.i386.rpm

I'm using the latest RH 7.1 apache RPM in a RH 9 and runs ok, which is
apache-1.3.27-1.7.1

Latest PHP version for RH 7.1 is php-4.1.2-7.1.6
For RH 9 it's php-4.2.2-17, I guess there should be no problem in running
that version with the apache-1.3.x from RH 7.x

Re: [PHP] Stop neurotic posting

2003-08-14 Thread Juan Nin
This kind of opiniion wars appear every since in many of the lists I'm
subscribed to.

The thing is that they ussually tend to nothing, since there are always
people who think on one way, and otehrs who think the other, and no matter
what you say, they will continue thinking that way.

I agree that there are too many lazy people who just ask "Can you tell me
how to do this?" whit subjects sucha as "PLEAS HELPPP!!!", that
didn't bother to RTFM or STFW.

Maybe some understood with this postings what we meant about it, and maybe
others didn't, or don't want to, or just think different...

But the thing is that this thread is getting larger and larger, and it's
even worse than baring with stupid questions...
No matter what we do or say, there will always be people whjo will not
bother to RTFM, or who are newbies and don't know how to search for things,
or who just subscribed to the list and didn't read recent related postings
and didn't bother to STFW or don't know how to do it...

So, regardless of what we think, we have no other option than try to educate
and point people to the right direction telling them who to do things in
good manners. I've replied more than one RTFM or STFW, and many times per
day I desire to do it All those sometimes stupid questions, consume your
bandwidth and time, but this wars are worst...

So I think we should try to educate, and if those messages bother us, and we
don't want to educate, then maybe it's better to try to ignore them and just
not reply to them... and let anyone who doesn't mind in wasting his/her time
reply... but this person should also try to educate and not just provide
code to the one who says "please tell me exavctly how to do this". Many of
us have little time to investigate sometimes, but you have to do it, it's
your job to do it. And if you are not a programmer and don't know how to do
it, then you should not be programming, hire someone to do it...

So please, we should cut off with this thread, since it will lead to
nothing, and let's try to educate!!!  :)

[PHP] some kind of redirection (not the header function)

2003-09-11 Thread Juan Nin
Hi!!!

I´m programming a site in PHP, where I want to do the following:

I will have a set of different directories, where each directory must
execute the same PHP pages, but giving as result different data,
according to the directory where you are located (obtained by
$_SERVER[´PHP_SELF´] for example).

For example I have:

http://www.domain.com/directoryA/
http://www.doamin.com/directoryB/

So each one must have (or should act as if they had) the same PHP pages
and directories under them.

The solution I thought, as copying each page in every directory makes no
sense (if I modify the code I´ll have to change all the pages in all
directories), is to have an includes directory. where I put all the PHP
pages, and in each of the different directories I create pages that
simply include or require the ones from the include directories.

That way I´ll only modify code inone place..

Now.. is there any better way to achieve this??
I thought that maybe with some Apache stuff, but I don´t think thereś
something that will help, since directives such as RedirectMatch, etc.
rewrite the URL, and I don´t want that, I want the URL to remain
http://www.domain.com/directoryX/whatever.php

Is there any way to do this, or I should stick up with the includes??

Thnx in advance,

Juan

The beheaviour I want to acomplish is the same as in yahoorgoups.

You can access a mian page, where you login and have a list of all the groups you are 
subscribe to.
You click on the link to each one and it redirects you to: 
http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/yourGroup/

There it displays the page for your group with all it´s characteristics. The same 
behaviour 
if you access that URL directly. Or you can also access 
http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/yourGroup/messages/ etc

Thatś what I ant to do  :)

Any ideas?

cool, it was the first thing I had thought off, but after giving a quick

you have obviously not looked at the PHP manual.
First of all: despite the fact that on the manual there are always 
comments and code examples, it's not the obvious place where to look for 
that...

Second, I suppose you are talking about the examples that were posted in 
the docs about the mail() function... that's not what I want... if I 
simply wanted to write a script that sends an e-mail from a defined 
form, I do it in 2 minutes...

what I want is a generic script that can be used with ANY form, just 
like Matt Wright's FormMail.pl does, and that is well written, and 
secure, that has no spam exploitable bugs, etc, like Matt's has..

I could write it myself too, I can do it, in no more than ten minutes, 
but I don't want to reinvent the wheel, and maybe if I write it, despite 
the fact that I administer mail servers, web servers and many others, 
maybe I fall under some exploitable bug too... so maybe there's an 
existing good script already written, that many people uses, and that is 
known to be good? do I explain myself?

I googled and found several, but looking at them, I didn't like them, 
because they were more like simple scripts like the ones posted in the 
docs of the mail() function, or the ones which were generic, for any 
form, weren't good, and didn't have any type of checks, and were 
obviously and easily exploitable..

so looking at the PHP manual is not the answer for me in this case, I 
don't want a 2 line script, I want something good and serious...

If anyone knows of a good script of this kind, I will appreciate  :)
thanks again,
Juan

Matt Wright's FormMail.pl script is a very well known script, that's 
been used by thousands of people for several years. So it was very 
likely that many of the people who read the e-mail knew what I was 
talking about...

This list consists not only of PHP programmers, but there are also 
people who know many other languages like Perl, or work administrating 
servers, etc, so many can know what this script is...

Moreover, the name "FormMail" is quite descriptive, and there are other 
FormMail scripts written in several languages that acomplish the same 
task, so not knowing Matt's script does not mean that you don't know 
what a FormMail script is.. (obviously not everyone knows what a 
FormMail script does, but obviously not everyone in the list should know 
about certain topics)

Or are we suppost to google to check that out so we can answear your question?
I don't expect that...
I have many times googled about things that someone asked on a list and 
I didn't know what it was.. just for me to know what it as, or to see if 
I could help this person... I don't expect others to do it, but it 
doesn't mean that someone can't do it either..

but I also expect a more polite reply than "you have obviously not read 
the PHP manual" or RTFM, since it was definitely and obviously not the 
case...

I know this list is a bit differente from others, there are many newbies
who use to ask "how do I do this" without RTFM or STFW, and there is a 
mix of *NIX, Windows and others users, and sometimes that sort of things
, which are always the same, fed up people, but I was not asking some 
stupid question because of not RTFM...

Anyway, http://pear.php.net/package-search.php?pkg_name=mail&bool=AND&submit=Search any help?
nope, thos are packages for mime decoding (which I have used in other 
projects), access for pop or imap, or the most simple Mail package which 
serves for e-mail sending, just like phpMailer would do, or even the 
mail() function for more simple tasks... but that's not what I want...

I know how to send e-mail, with mail(), with phpMailer or with 
PEAR::Mail, I want a good and tested FormMail script.. if I don't find 
one, I'll use my own written, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel..

anyway, I think I'll look in other places... thanks anyway
Juan

Re: [PHP] looking for a good FormMail PHP script

I'm very aware of the FormMail.pl's problems and bugs, and I'm 
definetely not going to use it... didn't you read in my previous mails, 
that I said that I wanted a similar script but that it lacked of Matt's 
script security and SPAM-exploitable problems??

If I liked Matt script, I'd just use it instead of looking for another 
different script, don't you think??

It seems like *you have obviuosly not read my previous e-mails*   ;)
Anyway, this is getting off-topic, so let's cut it here..

[PHP] GD, problem adding text to GIF images

2004-12-16 Thread Juan Nin
Hi,

I'm adding text to images using the native gd in PHP 4.3.9

I have no problems with jpg images, but with gif ones, the colour of
the text added to the image always results a dark grey
The image itself and text are fine, but not the colour, which should be white..

Has anyone experienced this problem?

Used functions are:


imagecreatefromgif
imagettftext
imagegif


Thanks in advance,

Juan

[PHP] curl CUSTOMREQUEST

2004-12-21 Thread Juan Nin
I saw a post at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php where it says:

"Using the customrequest for a complete post is wrong. Libcurl will add
a partial url, the http version and the standard headers after the post
data - while this works with a non-persistent connection and an apache
web server, it may fail under different conditions"

Does anybody know a bit more on this?? (I sent an e-mail to the one
who posted it, but the address does not longer exist)

I tested the following code and didn't experience any problem:

http://www.mydomain.com";;

$request = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n".
   "Host: www.mydomain.com\r\n\r\n";
   
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15);
curl_setopt ($ch,CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST , $request);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$reply = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

echo '';
echo $reply;

?>

but using ngrep on a server of mine I can see this as the request:

GET / HTTP/1.1.
Host: www.mydomain.com.
.
 / HTTP/1.1.
Host: www.mydomain.com.
Pragma: no-cache.
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*.


may be this is what he's talking about when he says about the data
libcurl will add?

does anybody know under which circumstances may this fail??

thanks in advance,

Juan
