RE: [PHP] FAQ

2001-03-15 Thread Mal McKay

Or what would be more interesting would be some sort of buffer between you
and the list, ie:
you send an email to the list
the listserv picks the 3 best matches to your email from a database of faqs
AND/OR
the listserv picks the 3 best matches to your email from a database of the
list's threads

and sends these to you in an email. Replying to the email sends your
originial query to the list.

I once thought a great product for mail lists (would require an admin
interface, PHP?) would be a way to put into the list mail signature a random
FAQ link.

Fill that particular FAQ with commonly asked questions and have the FAQ sent
out each month to all subscribers. A decent threaded mail reader would make
this reasonably easy (notice I did not say *simple*) to administer.

RE: [PHP] FAQ

2001-03-15 Thread Mal McKay

I'd just like to offset my other email by saying that a faq is often no
substitute for the knowledge and experience of this list's members. In a
strange way, the 'dumb' question this list gets proves the a faq can not be
expected to know the right way to answer a query. A list member out there
just might know _exactly_ what you need to solve your problem.

The message isn't actually from www.pspl.co.in, or in your case from your
smtp host.
I forget exactly what header you leave out to result in an email appearing
to be from @yourhost.com
Or maybe its when the from: header is a non email string.

Hey! What the hell is happening? That's my company's domain name!!

Please don't anybody bother to reply to this posting by "Netmark.Desing" -
its
an obvious fake. A visit to www.pspl.co.in will prove to you that we're not

Subject: [PHP] Can you recommend an ISP with the following?


I'm looking to move from an old Web host (stormweb.net) that has
entirely stopped responding to customer support emails. I liked what
they had to offer, before they became unresponsive, so I'm looking for
a similar ISP with:

*PHP4
*MySQL
*Telnet access
*Decent Support
*Preferably a Cobalt server (or one with a VERY good Web-based
administrator, most other types of Web administrators I've seen have
been clunky and a PITA)
*Pretty Cheap

I've checked out ISP check, and it would be great if they listed the
type of Wed-based administrator, but they don't. It's VERY tedious to
get a demo account, and see that their Web-based administrator is
junk. I'm used to the very slick administrator found on Cobalt
servers. I have given up after a half-dozen attempts at other servers.
I sincerely hope someone can help.

Thank you very much,
Jamie

RE: [PHP] echo only displays first character

Are you sure $name is an array. t appears to be a string and the $name[$i]
references one character in that string

Subject: [PHP] echo only displays first character


Here's an interesting problem.

The following only prints the first letter of the name

for ($i=0; isset($empid[$i]); $i++) {

echo "$empid[$i] $name[$i]";

}

But if I change the variable $name to $employeename throughout the script it
displays fine.

$empid[] and $name[] are both assigned earlier in the script by pulling data
from a MySQL database.

Is $name a reserved word or something? Anyone know why just changing the
array's name fixes the problem?

Thanks,

-Tom
