This depends on your php.ini configuration,
to assure your script works in any case, use
$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] instead :)

The problem lies not with the installation, but the configuration. You
should try your best to get around using $PHP_SELF and other globally
registered variables, but if you must use them, you can turn
register_globals On in you php.ini file.

Hmm, or actually i think the deal is just that
PHP 4.1.x have error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
by default, so warnings isnt displayed. and
at least IE would threat the resulting
<a href=""> or <a href="?xxx"> as if it was the current page,
so everything will appear to work, <a href=""> wont work
with Netscape tho, so go with $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]

Hi
I'm trying to make PHP send email from a windows server, or rather, I'm
trying to help my girlfriend do it.
in php.ini the SMTP variable is set to her mail server (which does relay
for her netblock).
Also, the sendmail_from line is also set.
She is mainly trying to use ACID to mail intrusion detection reports out.
However, the test script I wrote for her that calls mail() also refuses to
send mail.
The error messages are not very helpful in diagnosing the problem.
Incidently, she is running PHP 4.0.6 with Apache 1.3.20. All other php
functions appear to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

Have you uncommented
extension = php_imap.dll
in your php.ini ?
Can you supply the error messages from php?

I'd just install a copy of the Hermes mail server. It's pretty simple to
configure and you just set the PHP entries to localhost.

=those are the two main settings to worry about - can I assume that you have checked
that the PHP.INI file is
being read?
=please run the phpinfo() test and check the SMTP registration.
=If you haven't already, please PING the SMTP server.
> She is mainly trying to use ACID to mail intrusion detection reports out.

=do you have/can you throw together an ultra-simple email script and see if that will
go through? eg
mail( you@youraddress,
"THis is the subject",
"This is the message",
"From: emailfordummies@youraddress\n");
echo "mail away<BR>";
NB you may not need the \n, but you will need a sensible ToAddress (the first
argument).

=nevertheless they might help point/discard ideas.
=also a snippet of code might be relevant.

I'm using PHP to do some database interfaces to Paradox databases.
Everything is working great, except that my report is not being
printed. I'm trying to schedule a report to be printed using winat at
midnight every night. Scheduling the report on one machine works fine,
but scheduling it on the server that it will be run from does not work.
I get an error stating "Warning: couldn't connect to the printer [PR009
(ENGINEERING)] in c:\flasher list\f-pickup.php on line 10"
It is correctly picking up PR009 (ENGINEERING) as my printer, because I
didn't even specify it in my code. Sounds to me like some kind of
permissions, but everyone has printing rights. Anyone have any other
ideas to try. Please copy responses to my email listed below in case I
don't get a chance to check back to the list.

Excellent, excellent.
I am extremely happy :)
Everything below is completely right and reasonable, Lukas it looks as
though you have the full support of many, many people in your quest... in
any case I look forward to the first pearized versions of metabase.

If you think it over that could be a real security hazard.
If I have a phpdoc that opens sqlconnections at server A and includes that

Subject: [PHP-INST] Adding GD extensions
I am migrating from the Mac world and so my knowledge of the Windows
environment is minimal. I have two systems. A desktop running Windows 2000
v5 SP2 with IIS 4 and a laptop running Windows XP and Apache 1.3
I have php running on both as a CGI. When I try to add any extension to php
via the php.ini file I get this "Unable to load dynamic library
'C:\PHP\php_<extension_name>.dll' - The specified procedure could not be
found."
I have the php.exe and the .dll's in the C:\PHP directory. Is the reference
to the specified procedure a reference to the .dll or is it a procedure
being called by the .dll when trying to load?
I am ultimately trying to add the image functions to php using the
php_gd.dll
I read on the GD site that I would also have to have the jpeg-6b, zlib and
Freetype extensions. Is there an exe for php with these already loaded? If
not, where do I find a step by step procedure to build the required
configuration. The step by step instructions will probably have to include
explanations since my knowledge is minimal.
Thanks

Hi Robert,
I'm still a beginner concerning PGP, so I can't tell you where
the error is, but I've been successful using the following code:
<?php
$FILE_NAME = 'NewFile.txt';
// open the file for write-access and truncate it to zero.
$file = fopen($FILE_NAME, "w+");
// write something into the file
$filestring = 'HelloWorld';
fwrite($file, $filestring);
// close the file
fclose($file);
?>

A client is having trouble setting up SMTP services on their Windows NT
machine so PHP can access it through the mail() function.
SMTP is set to mail.theserver.com in the php.ini.
Mail() works when set to a different mail server.
PHP and the mail services are on the same machine.
The SMTP server is open on port 25 and resolves locally.
A MX record has been defined.
Any suggestions on what else needs to be done?

Hi
We have problems with users using on our NT 4
server PHP with the
pconnect string instead of only connect
All connects then keep to be open in sleep modus.
Then if there are too many the whole MySQL-server
stops working. How can we setup PHP so users
cannot use anymore the pconnect string? How do
others to work around this problem?
Thanks for tips and help,

I have a problem with session and redirection. I have setup 2 testing file.
index.php will start the session, set the
session variable and redirect it to index-full.php.
However, in index-full.php, I cannot see the output that I expected. it
should be "trial is Ooi Soo Tuck". The output
is "trial is" which mean that the session variable is not registered or
expired.
If I remove the header function and replace it with a link to
index-full.php, I get the output that I expected.
Why header function will cause session not working?
(index.php)
<?
session_start();
$trial="Ooi Soo Tuck";
session_register("trial");
header("Location: index-full.php");
exit;
?>
(index-full.php)

I'm not sure if this is really a php question or not?
I've got an application (win32, apache, php, mysql) where users download
data from a data recorder, using kermit (x/y/z modem), onto a server
(preferrably not going from the data recorder to a file on the hard disk,
then from the file to the upload form then into the database).
I would really like to be able to go directly from the data recorder (has to
go through comm port at least for now) through a php script into the
database using my php functions). Is it possible to get access to the comm
port using php? Or am I stuck with all the intermediate steps which would
be.
1) start the tx from the data recorder.
2) start exec() from php script from form button
3) when exec() is finished, then read the downloaded file into the mysql
database...
this has to be done on the server machine. is it possibleto do this from a
client (browser)?
Jeff.
