But I DO know of a Win32 Borland library with an http component which supports POSTing of files.

It's really simple and easy to come by. As far as I understand it, SMTP doesn't have to be on the same computer, but it's location does have to be configured right in php.ini or whatever. Check phpinfo() for PHP core configurations setting sendmail_path (Unix/Linux) or SMTP (Windows) - the SMTP value is the IP of an SMTP server. nik -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry to answer my own question! If you POST an html form with input elements, these are parsed by PHP into variables, and the data is discarded. BUT if you POST raw data from a generic http component, without sending name-value pairs, this data is exposed in $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA. nik -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[PHP] include from another URL

I have done something like this: -- code start http://myotherurl.com:8080'; ?> -- code end and it seems to work with one exception: it produces a warning message saying something like "Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in .../web-root/index.php on line 9" where line #9 is: include 'http://myotherurl.com:8080'; from above code. It then shows a message from 'http://myotherurl.com:8080' Thanks!!! Nik

And you want to print out said list of OPTIONs several times with
different ones selected each time?
You could do it with an array and a function. The array would contain a
list of keys and data (e.g. array ("key" => "data")) where the keys
would be the values for the option elements, and the data would be the
labels (i.e. what's between the option start tag and end tag).
The function would build the select by looping through the array and
printing out the option elements. By comparing each key with a parameter
you passed in to the function, it would know which option element to
give the selected attribute to.
Give it a try, and if you have any difficulty, look at:

If you don't want to make a new directory to store them, you should make sure that uploaded files have their permissions changed by php so that only the web server can read them. You could in addition have php create the directory in which you want to store them, so that it has total control of the directory's permissions. I did this with my website so that other users of the machine can't even see what's in the directories in which my users store images. They might be private after all, who am I to say?
