[PHP] invalid range
when I do this
eregi("^([a-zåäö_\.- ]+)$",$value);
I get this:
Warning: Invalid range end in
/home/zinekweb/public_html/corporate/_mcm_contacts_upload.php on line 42
Why?
I running Apache1.3 on my XP machine with PHP 4.2something.. but when I upload to a
RedHat7.2 server with Apache.1.3 and PHP4.0something I get this error.
Can anyone help me out here? Any clues?

Re: [PHP] Re: Mass Mailing
Hi. I have myself written a rather clumsy mass mailer in php which queues mail via the sendmail-command. I have found this to be rather slow and ineffective. You are talking about queueing mail directly to the mailqueue, and I wonder, how is that done with php? About making mails not rejected by spam-filters I have experienced that there should be something in the to field, many servers are rejecting mails that it empty in that header. Also, if you are sending out html letters, try and attach a plain text version as well, or emails will be rejected as well. I have a rather neat script for the latter if anybody is interested. But please get back with some tips how to queue mail straight to the mail queue for fast delievery. /peter a At 2002-12-22 20:52, Manuel Lemos wrote: >Hello, > >On 12/22/2002 02:52 PM, Jonathan Chum wrote: >>>>I was considering of writing the mass mailing application in PHP instead >>>>though. >>>> >>>>If anyone has eperience writing such applications with this amount of >>>>emails, I'd like to know what you've done. >>> >>>If you do not need to send personalized messages (messages that differ >>>for each recipient), just put all recipients in a BCc: header and send a >>>single message to the local mailer queue (not via SMTP). >>> >>>If you do not care for the users that bounce messages, just make the >>>return path be black hole email address.

[PHP] Uploading and storing large files
Hi. I am currently working on a projekt that will involve uploading files with filesizes up to about 10mb, and all sorts of different filetypes and I havet o Questsions concerning that. 1 ) How should the upload be done? I don't feel all that comfortable posting 10mb-files via a simple html-form, wouldn't that take a while if the connections is slow, and even if it was fast, it would take a minute or two. I was drawing out a upload functions with the built in ftp-functions, but then it occured to me, doesn't a always posts it's content to the server anyway? How do I post large files without worrying about broken uploads, timeouts and all that? 2 ) How should I store the files? I suppose I have to optiones. Database ( I have mySQL installed ) or in folders ( in RedHat8.0 ) Should I build up a folder-structure to hold the files or just put it all in the database? A mySQL table in RedHat can hold 4gb, which is a lot, but my content may exceed that, how coud I check the size of the tables, and dynamically create new databases and when running a member Query, select content from them all? Would a file structure be better, with a folder strucuture for member a-b store in this folder c-d to in this and so on... Would it be stupid to store a 1 10mb mpegs in one database? Any suggestions? /peter a -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Unable to load pages with errors
I have stumbled on something that is new for me. Usually when I get a PHP error I print them on the page, but suddenly pages with errors don't load at all, in IE I get the usual "The page cannot be displayed" and in Lynx I get "Alert!: Unable to access document." I run PHP 4.3.2 and Apache 2.0.47 on RedHat 9. Ideas anyone? /peter -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Unable to load pages with errors
Thanks, but that didn't take me anywhere. My browser still seems to hang itself or load a part of the page. I suppose it could be any of my http-processes that freezes up.. but I don't seems like it and I don't know why it would. Doesn't matter which browser I use either. /peter Chris W.

Re: [PHP] Unable to load pages with errors
Nothing complicated at all. It loops out some values from a MySQL database with not more than 20 entries. It's not that.. /peter Chris W.

Re: [PHP] Unable to load pages with errors
It not just that page.. it is all pages the will generate some sort of PHP error. Instead of the usual error output I get nothing. /peter Chris W.

It's not that.. well unless it's a server thing (in which case i'd have no ideas towards a solution) your next step is to strip the file until it starts working again. or you can start from scratch checking the page at every step until it stops working. chris. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Unable to load pages with errors
No the file is there. I see it in the access logs for apache (even though last night it didn't even show up there.. ), but it refuses to load. Every time I get a PHP error the page freezes up and my browser tries to load it forever or I get "The page cannot be dispalyed". The file is there.. it just won't load.. In a working PHP-file I added some code that for sure wouldn't work, and the page froze. Still showed up in the access log though.. but it didn't display any output at all obviously. /peter Peter Risdon wrote: peter a wrote: I have stumbled on something that is new for me.

Lynx generally knows what it is talking about. It sounds as though your page really is not available. You have given very little detail - the webserver logs might be interesting, for example, because they'd show what document the browsers were trying to access. But I'd guess your php error - if that's what it is - consists of trying to load a non-existent url. Stabbing in the dark here - have you missed a "?" before GET arguments? PWR.

Re: [PHP] Unable to load pages with errors
PHP configuration has not been changed though... so it's just strange.. I read something about a similiar trouble if you SSL on the server, I have SSL installed but this site is not under https.

Re: [PHP] Unable to load pages with errors
I have not changed my configuration lateley, what I know of. There is another guy working on the server, but he said he had changed nothing either. I've been running this configuration for a couple of months now and it has never caused me any troubles. /peter Michael Sims wrote: peter a wrote: It not just that page.. it is all pages the will generate some sort of PHP error. Instead of the usual error output I get nothing. Sounds to me like the apache process is segfaulting when PHP's error handler is invoked. You say it used to work for you, what changed recently? Did you install a new version of Apache, or PHP? Did you change the configuration of either? Is there anything in the apache error log? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
