As I explained, the class comes with a wrapper function named smtp_mail() that emulates mail() function (but without the bugs). All you need to do is to replace mail() calls by smtp_mail() calls including smtp_mail.php where needed.

Even if you do not want to replace anything, you can still try the class test scripts to see if it works for you. If it doesn't, it will provide helpful error messages unlike the mail() function. Now it is up to you if you want to progress in solving your problem.

I have 3 SunOS boxes, all running the same version of OS, apache and php.  I
have a page on all three servers that will allow a user to select a
directory from a drop down box and upon selecting the directory, be able to
select a file to view from a drop down box.  When the user selects the
directory, the page is refreshed and a second drop down box containing the
file names is displayed.

Here is where I'm running into some problems.  I need the file listing to be
sorted as if I were performing an 'ls -lt' listing on the server itself.
I'm using the readdir() function to get the file names and load them into an
array.  I then walk down the array backwards to build my drop-down list.  On
2 of my servers, this method works great!  However, on the other one, it is
throwing the most recently created files in the middle of the list.

Here is the code that I'm using:
$handle=opendir("$path");
  while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))  $filenames[] = $file;
  for($i=(count($filenames) - 1); $i >= 0; $i--) {
   $selected = ( $cboListFiles == $filenames[$i] ? " selected" : "" );
   if ($filenames[$i] != "." and $filenames[$i] !="..") {
    echo "<option value=". "$filenames[$i]" . " $selected>" .
"$filenames[$i]" . "</option>\n";
   }
  }

Even if I take out the sorting, the file listing order does not change.

Any ideas about what may be causing this?

Thanks!
Joe

If it were possible, it would likely be a javascript
function, rather than PHP, because it would be
controlled by the browser. Check the JavaScript

Hi all,

I have a PHP page that returns products.  My client
wants to have a 
button
beside each product that says "Download".  When you
click download, he 
wants
the "Save Picture" Window box to automatically open
and allow the 
viewer to
select the location to save the image that he clicked
"DownLoad" on.

Is this possible with PHP?

Thanks,

Under differing types of load, yes. MySQL is more hit-based, while
PostgreSQL deals well with bigger queries. So basically undisputed.

PostgreSQL does have its own significant user base. I think MySQL has a
larger user base. Of course, I won't state that user base is a heavily
weighted factor in this case (or in most).

My understanding is for speed / fast + simple queries go with MySQL. Heavier
or more complex / long queries go with PostgreSQL. I'm biased to MySQL
(though unhappy with lack of subselects, but have found that I can sometimes
write better queries when forced to avoid them), so take with a large dose
of salt. As for the comment about subselects in version 4 being available,
well... I am right that they are... but they're sorta not out yet as was
stated so... well, let's just say my words taste bitter on the way back down
*sigh*

I need to parse some source code to find the contents of a specific
function.  The only way I can think of is to load the source file into a
string find the function by name and parse the text in the string and find
the end brace of the function, made difficult by the existence of all the
other braces that may be there (if, while, switch, foreach, etc...).
Anybody have some code to do this???

function someFunc() {

if(something) {
   something...
}

while(something) {
   something...
}

} // So I need the code from the beginning of the function to here

TIA

Hi Shawn,

check out phpDocumentor, it has a class named Parser that does exactly what
you need.

You can get the latest release at http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpdocu
nightly cvs builds are at http://developer.phpdoc.org/downloads

In CVS, there are 2 parsers to choose from, and both are very stable, but
the CVS build of phpDocumentorTParser is MUCH faster (up to 11 times faster
depending on the filesize) but requires php 4.3.0.  Look in
phpDocumentor/Parser.inc and phpDocumentor/phpDocumentorTParser.inc in CVS,
and in ./Parser.inc in the 1.1.0 release.

You would only need to create an object with a method HandleEvent like:
class receive {
    function HandleEvent($event,$data) {
        if ($event != PHPDOCUMENTOR_EVENT_NEWSTATE) {
            if ($data->getType() == 'function' && $data->name == 'someFunc')
            {
                 $source = $data->getSource();
            }
        }
    }
}

Then, modify Parser::parse() by changing the line:

            if ($this->p_flags['get_source'])
            {
                if ($pevent == PARSER_EVENT_FUNCTION)
                {
                    $this->wp->retrievesource("function $word");
                    $this->p_flags['get_source'] = false;
                    $this->p_flags['getting_source'] = true;
                }
            }

to:

            if (true)
            {
                if ($pevent == PARSER_EVENT_FUNCTION)
                {
                    $this->wp->retrievesource("function $word");
                    $this->p_flags['get_source'] = false;
                    $this->p_flags['getting_source'] = true;
                }
            }

Alternately, you can get the cvs build and use the new phpDocumentorTParser
that takes advantage of PHP 4.3.0's stable tokenizer extension
(http://www.php.net/tokenizer) to parse faster.  The line to replace in that
class is phpDocumentorTParser::parse():

            if ($this->_pf_get_source)
            {
                if ($pevent == PARSER_EVENT_FUNCTION)
                {
                    $this->_wp->retrievesource($word);
                    $this->_pf_get_source = false;
                    $this->_pf_getting_source = true;
                }
            }

change to:

            if (true)
            {
                if ($pevent == PARSER_EVENT_FUNCTION)
                {
                    $this->_wp->retrievesource($word);
                    $this->_pf_get_source = false;
                    $this->_pf_getting_source = true;
                }
            }


Here's the complete code you need to write (except for the modifications
above):

<?php
// change the path to be that which is necessary
include_once("phpDocumentor/WordParser.inc");
include_once("phpDocumentor/EventStack.inc");
include_once("phpDocumentor/ParserData.inc");
include_once("phpDocumentor/InlineTags.inc");
include_once("phpDocumentor/DocBlockTags.inc");
include_once("phpDocumentor/DescHTML.inc");
include_once("phpDocumentor/ParserDocBlock.inc");
include_once("phpDocumentor/ParserElements.inc");
include_once("phpDocumentor/Parser.inc");
include_once("phpDocumentor/phpDocumentorTWordParser.inc");
include_once("phpDocumentor/phpDocumentorTParser.inc");


class someFunc_receive {
    function HandleEvent($event,$data) {
        if ($event != PHPDOCUMENTOR_EVENT_NEWSTATE) {
            if ($data->getType() == 'function' && $data->name == 'someFunc')
            {
                 $source = $data->getSource();
                 {do something with the source}
            }
        }
    }
}

$fp = fopen('/path/to/file.php','r');
$contents = fread($fp,filesize('/path/to/file.php'));

$parser = new phpDocumentorTParser; // or $parser = new Parser;
$receiver = new someFunc_receive;

$parser->subscribe('*',$receiver);
$parser->parse($contents, ''); // the other parameters are for
phpDocumentor, you won't need them

?>

You can also modify the Parser class to avoid publishing anything that isn't
necessary, and speed things up for your specific case.

It is possible to do some other method, but you need to be able to parse
strings, and recognize functions in a class otherwise code like this will
break your parser:

<?php
class myclass
{
 // {this brace is parsed even though it's in a comment
  /* } so is this one and this one } */
    function someFunc() {
        $data = "Now you're up a creek without a paddle! }";
    }
}

function someFunc() {
}
?>

In the end, you'll be forced to reinvent the wheel at great personal agony
:).  Go with phpDocumentor, and your life will be smooth sailing.
Incidentally, the source returned by the phpDocumentorTParser is an array of
tokens from the tokenizer, so the code will already be split up, if that is
useful.  If not, you can easily join the code back into a string using:

$total = '';
foreach($source as $item) {
    if (is_array($item)) $item = $item[1]; // $item[0] is the token
    $total .= $item;
}

Take care,
Greg

A MySQL timestamp is different to a MySQL timestamp.


$time = time(); will produce a unix timestamp

what you want is 

$time = date('Y-m-d');
to give a value in the format YYYY-MM-DD

I think you can also use NOW():
$query = "INSERT INTO contacts (id, name, pass, email, dateAdded) VALUES
(NULL, '$name', '$pass', '$email', NOW())";
... but I've never tried -- loook up NOW() in the MySQL manual.


IF you wanted the unix stamp instead (seconds since unix epoch), you should
change the column type of dateAdded to an unsigned integer of 32 bits (from
what I can tell from the manual).

I personally prefer unix stamps (seconds) over formatted dates (YYYY-MM-DD)
because it's easy to compare them and find out the difference (subtract one
from the other), add a day (add 24*60*60) etc etc, BUT it's harder
(impossible) for a human to read the raw data in the DB.


Good luck,

Justin French

What I would do, and this is one of those "write it once, use it a 1000
times" things, is store all your states in an array.

<?
$states = array(
            'AL' => 'Alabama',
            'AK' => 'Alaska',
            'AZ' => 'Arizona'
            );
?>

Then, you can loop through that array to build your form element:

<?
echo '<select name="state">';
foreach($states as $code => $fullName)
    {
    echo "<option value='{$code}'>{$fullName}</option>";
    }
echo '</select>';
?>

MUCH less code eh?

Then, to have the pre-selected element selected again, I'll assume you have
a value like $state or $selectedState, with a value of 'AZ' for example.

<?
$selectedState = 'AZ'; //usually grabbed from a database I assume?

echo '<select name="state">';
foreach($states as $code => $fullName)
    {
    if($stateSelected == $code) { $sel = ' SELECTED'; } else { $sel = ''; }
    echo "<option value='{$code}'{$sel}>{$fullName}</option>";
    }
echo '</select>';
?>

The result of which would be something like:

<select name="state">
<option value='AL'>Alabama</option>
<option value='AK'>Alaska</option>
<option value='AZ' SELECTED>Arizona</option>
</select>


Season to taste :)

$stateselected['$state'] is an array that stores the state that was

state picked out of this drop down list.???




Write a function that paints selects:

$States = array( 'AL' => 'Alabama', ...


function PaintSelect( $Name, $Values, $Selected ) {

echo "<SELECT NAME=\"$Name\">\n";

reset( $Values );
while( list( $Index, $Value ) = each( $Values )) {
   $Selected = ( $Selected == $Index ) ? ' SELECTED' : '';
   echo "   <OPTION VALUE=\"$Index\"$SELECTED>$Value</OPTION>\n'
   }

echo "</SELECT>\n";

}


Then call lt like this ...

State: <? PaintSelect( 'State', $States, $stateselected['$state'] ) ?><BR>

Ok I know it's off topic, but I've been working on this for over 5 hours now
and I almost have it configured, but something is definitely wrong!
Basically I can send email using sendmail by this command:

echo "Just a test" | mail -s "test" [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now [EMAIL PROTECTED] receives the email, but the From address is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and I have no idea where it is getting that
address from!  Does anyone know how I can change that from address?

And what would stop the above command from delivering to certain valid email
addresses?

This is definitely causing problems with my php server also when trying to
send emails...

The problem you are having took me a while to grasp. Basically, what
happens is that sendmail sends the mail as the user php/apache was
installed as (usually nobody@ or apache@ yourdomain.com).
Setting the Return-Path does not work, as you cannot override the
Return-Path set by the server in this way, that's why messages bounce to
your root account when sent with a php mail() function. If you only host
one domain on a server, you can fix this by editing the sendmail.cf file
and setting the Return-Path: to something more meaningful: However, most
people don't have the luxury of having a "one domain" hosting solution.

Your only other option is to invoke sendmail with the -f switch:
sendmail -f sender@address recipient@address <file_containing_message

This "forces" a from: address, but it also produces a warning to the
recipient that the message headers might be forged, but return mails and
replies are directed to the address specified.

Only problem with all this is that you need to do one of 2 things:
a) use of PHP's system commands eg.
$mail = `echo -e "Subject: Subject here\n\n Message here" |
/usr/sbin/sendmail -f $your_address $recipient_address`;

OR

b) use a PERL script to do it.

I am currently looking at both, and it seems at this stage that the PERL
script will be the better option, specially if you need to mail to alot
of people. You need to issue the sendmail in a loop, and for load
balancing, it's best to put a sleep() inside the loop; even if you only
make this a sleep(1) (sleep for 1 sec), PHP will timeout after only 30
recipients unless you override the default timeout setting for php
scripts.

Hi here,

I am sending a file to user's browser and logging the downloaded file into
MySQL but everytime this script works, I see double entry in the MySQL
table... Why is this happening?

Any ideas?

Thanks

<?
 $today = date("Y-m-d");

 $conn = db_connect();

 if(!$conn)
  echo "Can't connect to database...";

 $query = "INSERT INTO track_dl (dldate, email, file)
    VALUES ('$today', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'file.ext')";

 $result = mysql_query($query);

 if(!$result)
  echo "Can't execute query: " . mysql_error();

header("Content-type: application/pdf");
readfile("file.pdf");
exit();
?>

I have this silly problem. This select query works fine.

####################################################
$query_retrievetasks = "SELECT * FROM tasks, users WHERE tasks.UID =
users.User_id ORDER by tasks.ID";
####################################################

But when I add a further filter (AND active="yes") ....it comes up
blank...currently all the active rows in the tasks table are equal to
"yes" so they should still display, but comes up with a blank. 

####################################################
$query_retrievetasks = "SELECT * FROM tasks, users WHERE tasks.UID =
users.User_id AND active="yes" ORDER by tasks.ID";
####################################################

Can't understand this, is it just something simple I am missing??

If this is the query you are actually using, it is causing a PHP syntax 
error due to the nested double-quotes. Use



$query_retrievetasks = "SELECT * FROM tasks, users WHERE tasks.UID =

users.User_id AND active='yes' ORDER by tasks.ID";



Note the single-quotes around 'yes'.



I'm guessing your installation is set up to not echo PHP errormessages back 
to the screen, that's why you didn't see an error message.

Your SQL statement is selecting from two tables, it doesn't know which 
table the 'active' column belongs to.  Try one of the following as 
appropriate to your schema:



tasks.active="yes"

or

users.active="yes"

Try using single quote instead of double quote... like this


$query_retrievetasks = "SELECT * FROM tasks, users WHERE tasks.UID =
users.User_id AND active='yes' ORDER by tasks.ID";

Not too sure myself... but it's just a wild guess...

Hope this helps!

How interesting.

What do you get if you put

  $body = "this is the message body" ;
  $hdrs = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\nReturn-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" ;

  mail($to,$subj,$body,$hdrs) ;

in a php script and execute it?  If it doesn't work, what do the mail

Hmm... I would expect that your sendmail.cf (if you are using sendmail)
hasn't got
your webserver (running as eg www or apache etc) in it's trusted users
file / listing.

As I have said before that if you set the webserver user in as a trusted
user in the sendmail.cf file all is fixed.

You can then set a return-path etc without warnings as well.

I know I can use Visual Studio to edit PHP files as plain text, but has
anyone seen any way of creating some sort of add-in, or macro or whatever,
which would do syntax highlighting on PHP files?

I'm having users post messages to a MySQL database records and want to
retain the formatting (such as carriage returns and so forth).

I have everything actually working all except that the formatting. Messages
are being posted but when they are returned they lack the carriage returns.
I'd like to be able to make characters bold and so forth, but would settle
for the carriage returns if the rest is too difficult.

Thanks

Assuming you are using a <textarea></textarea> to allow your users to
input their text you need to either use the nl2br (converts new lines to
<br>) or use <pre></pre> tags, following are short examples:

print nl2br($data); or 

print '<pre>';
print $data
print '</pre>';

You can find out more about the nl2br function at
http://www.php.net/manual, if you allow users to enter <b> tags then
they should show up using method.

Howdy,
I am looking to populate a list menu with the current date and then the
30days after that current date. Is there a small snippet of code that
achieves this??

Cheers

Hvae a look at date(), mktime() in the manual.

Here something that should help you get started, it is untested.

function day_dropdown() {
?>
   <select name="date">
<?php
  for ($i=0;$i<30;$i++) {
    $timestamp = mktime(0,0,0,date("m")  ,date("d")+$i,date("Y"));
    $date = date("Ydm", $timestamp);
?>
   <option value="<?php echo *some value* ?>"><?php echo $date; ?></option>
<?php
  }
?>
  </select>
<?php
}
?>

I'm *positive* there is a better way, but this should work (untested):

<form>
<select name="date">
<?
$stamp = time();
$i = 0;
while($i <= 30)
    {
    if($i > 0) { $stamp = $stamp + 86400; }
    $date = date('d-m-Y',$stamp);
    echo "<option value=\"{$date}\">{$date}</option>";
    $i++;
    }
?>
</select>
</form>


Cheers,

Justin

It the number of seconds in a day.

But that solution doesn't take into account Daylight Savings Time.

The one I posted does, I think ...

60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours = 86400 seconds per day
we're increasing $stamp by 1 day each iteration of the while loop

Hi.

I kind of got PHP syntax highlighting working within Visual Studio.NET

I've created a page, which mentions the steps you need to take to get it
working, as well as a screen shot. Everyone loves screen shots.

http://www.quake-au.net/php/php_and_vsdotnet.htm

Hope someone finds it useful apart from me.

Regards,

Sean

I've finally got round to making some attempt to validating the pages of a site I've 
done with PHP using the W3C XHTML Validator.  However, it's throwing out errors 
wherever I use session control on pages.

The server generates PHP Session ID variables which are added to links to other pages 
but my understanding is that these are rejected on the basis that the '&' and '=' 
characters are invalid (I might be wrong here).

Examples of the error messages generated by the validator are given below:

Line 154, column 102: cannot generate system identifier for general entity "PHPSESSID" 
  ...u' href='competitions.php?option=add&PHPSESSID=888a059dbc17855c09885c3ea978df
                                          ^
Line 154, column 102: general entity "PHPSESSID" not defined and no default entity 
(explain... <http://validator.w3.org/docs/errors.html>). 
  ...u' href='competitions.php?option=add&PHPSESSID=888a059dbc17855c09885c3ea978df
                                          ^

These are the only error messages left - having dealt with the dozens of others left 
in through my own sloppy coding :-(

I'm not sure how to tackle this given that these elements of the page are generated 
automatically.

Is there a way round this or are there any sources of information relating to this 
area?

Thanks in advance,

Michael Egan

Hi J,

this is exactly the information I'm looking for, unfortunately the phpize or
pear scripts are not in the 4.2.2 distribution. Is this feature removed from
the newer distributions?

However I found the scripts on the web but they gave quite some errors:
when the script runs autoconf  I get "error: m4_defn: undefined macro:
_m4_divert_diversion"
maybe the versions are incompatible?

Any Ideas ?
Thx, Tom
