[PHP] Including file from a registered shutown function on a syntax parse error

[Marc Trudel]

Greetings,

If I register a shutdown function in PHP (to catch syntax parse errors and
send them in logs), it looks like I can open files, but I cannot do includes
- that is, if the reason of exit is a syntax parse error.

Is this a desired effect?  It seems a tad odd that I could do
eval(preg_replace("#^<\?[php]?#", "", file_get_contents($file))); but not
include($file);

Re: [PHP] Mail Function In PHP

If you control your DNS server setup and such, DKIM and authentication
technologies alikes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys) are the way to
go.

Also, make sure the reverse DNS lookup is pointing to the right place, i.e.
that the SMTP server domain name translates to an IP that translates back to
the same domain name when you do a reverse lookup.

Since this is really something more of a network arch. setup, you probably
will find more answers for that on ServerFault or the likes.

Re: [PHP] 95th percentile of an array.

[Marc Trudel]

Just out of curiosity, wouldnt it be better to use floor($n) instead of
round($n-0.5)?
