[PHP] popen returns true whether script exists or not?

2001-08-14 Thread Tom Hodder



Hi,

I'm trying to popen a cgi script that was designed to be open via a SSI
include, but cannot because of passing variable restrictions.

I'm popening a cgi script and it is returning a process pointer regardless
of whether the string passed to it points to anything.
Is this the expected response?



this returns a process pointer even though bannerz.cgi doesn't exist

I then need to read the results of the cgi script and dump them to the
screen like so;



but this is not functioning, does anyone have any ideas?

Regards

Tom Hodder

[PHP] global variables in functions

2001-08-16 Thread Tom Hodder


Hi,

I have a function like so

function updateForm()
{
global $link;
$query = "UPDATE badgers
SET
lname = '$lname',
fname = '$fname'
WHERE
ID = '$ID'";
mysql_query( $query, $link );
}

is there a simple way to access the global form values without working out
which method was used and then using the global keyword on the
HTTP_POST_VARS / HTTP_GET_VARS??

Regards

Tom Hodder

RE: SV: [PHP] Sending alots of mail

2001-08-16 Thread Tom Hodder

You could write all the emails to a database with columns

toAddress,fromAddress,subject,body and any others you might want,

and then write a cron job to check the database every 10 mins for records

it might also be possible to read the process list into a variable and then
only start new sendmail processes when there are less than certain number of
sendmails runnning to balance the load.

I have a system where we send periodic batches of 60,000 messages at a
time, so it's definitely doable.  It helps to put some throttling in
there (i.e. a sleep() periodically) to be kind to your e-mail server.

[PHP] Need to dynamically globalise variables

2001-08-16 Thread Tom Hodder


I have a function like this...

function register_db_to_globals( $row )
{
while( list( $key, $val) = each( $row ) )
{
global $$key;   // (I've tried this with $key as well
print "$key : $val ";
}
}

where the function prints this;

job_ID : 2
jobTitle : testtestt
jobDesc : esttest
jobShortDesc :
jobSalary :
jobLocation :
client_ID : 2
jobContractType : 1

I want to create global variables from the data ie $job_ID = 2, $jobTitle =
testtestt

but this is not working, the values are remaining empty.

Has anyone got any ideas on this.

Regards

Tom Hodder
