Is there any IMAP/POP3 API/Modules of Linux email system (Sendmail) written
in PHP?
I am looking for API to write a signup page for users.

Have to tried http://www.php.net/imap ?? Great source for API's ;-)

Have looked through it already. None of them allows me to add/delete users

Most mailserver use the users that exist on the mail server. An mail user is also an
regular user (Althru most of them get an fake shell)
. To add, modify or delete such user you need root privilegde. Webserver such as
Apache run with a user nobody (or similair) which have as less access to the system as
possible.
Because php is than also running as user 'nobody'. And then you can't add, modify or
delete users.
If you still want to build a mailuser webinterface, here's how to do-it:
- first make sure only 'localhost' can access the site. Use an port different from
'80'.
To edit the /etc/passwd there's a file in the php4 source directory /pear/files. This
file is called 'Passwd.php' which you can use to edit the /etc/passwd and similair
files..
Because every mail server have it own config files, it's not possible to create an
'generic' API. I advise you to download some other web-interfaces for sendmail
so you can see how they're handling the files.
Good luck.

Wouldn't that have quite a big effect on the performance of IIS/PHP ?
What exactly are the problems with the ISAPI version ?

There is a performance hit in using the cgi - but as this is involved in
starting up and shutting down php.exe, the more complex your script are, the
less noticeable is the performance degradation. I've been using PHP as a cgi
on production NT boxes for 18 months without any problems, but I guess the
traffic on these boxes would be regarded as moderate (30000 page impressions
per day, all generated by PHP?MySQL or cgi stuff I wrote in C).
Because IIS is a multi threaded server there are issues regarding the thread
safety of some bits of PHP code. Much work has already been done to fix
things but it is seriously hard stuff to debug, and there are clearly still
issues which need fixing - I only we could find them!

Sounds like a cyrus-imap extension for imap (which allows many
authentication methods, most of which don't need system-level users)
would be a good thing.

Never did have the time to commit it though, as its still in development
(well, not currently, but when I get some free time :).

I have a suggestion: You could use procmail and if you had a mailserver like
exim. Set up a list of aliases and then have them all forward into 1 account
then the procmailrc file in that one account sends the info to various files
or users. To add and delete users all you would have to do is make php write
to a aliases file and a procmailrc file, which would be easy enough.

Please kill this thread, or at least have the decency to limit it to
php-general, to which it belongs. There is no need to EVER cross-post
in this manner!

Hi,
I've been trying to find information on this, and none of them directly tell
me what I am missing.
I have IIS on Windows 2000 Professional. I have installed PHP as a CGI
module via the installshield (phpinfo() runs ok, so the installation appears
ok).
I look at the list of server variables, and $DOCUMENT_ROOT is not listed.
I don't think this is the same as doc-root in the php.ini.
Can somebody advise as to what I am doing wrong?
I am trying not to install the ISAPI DLLs.
Thank you for your time.

What I want to do: When a user views the page, I want to check whether
they're coming from another page on my site or whether this is the first
page that they're viewing. If it's the first page, then I want to echo some
code to the browser (it will read the cookie file for my site)
This is the code that I tried to use:
[code]
global $HTTP_REFERER;
$refp = parse_url($HTTP_REFERER);
$refr = $refp[host];
if ($refr != "rideau.prowsej.com")
{
echo "insert javascript here that the browser will execute";
}
[/code]
- My domain is rideau.prowsej.com
- The above code didn't seem to work.
It seemed that a lot of the time, the referer was null. Under what
conditions would the referer be null (where could I read about the
$HTTP_REFERER variable?)
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello !
I just want to know is are ther any import filters interfacing between PHP
and Word / Excel files, so that the content of these documents could be
outputed to HTML ? I mean my customer wants to write new text in Word and he
wants this text to be presented on their webpage. The text can be saved as
.doc or .rtf. Thus PHP could access this file "suck" the text out of it and
put it into HTML but how to ???
Thanks for hints,
Ziggi
