if an include fails for whatever reason the script will continue executing
and just issue a warning.
If a require fails the script will throw an error and exit (it won't execute
the remainder of the script).

Hi David,
Can you explain me the same thing with some examples...... Pls.........

Difference is in the way they handle a failure.Require gives a fatal
error and processing of the page halts, while include continues
processing the page. More info in the PHP online manual

Browse through http://ww.php.net , search and read the documentation.
If you do that and search for "include", for instance, you will find
The documentation below also applies to require(). The two constructs are
identical in every way except how they handle failure. include() produces a
Warning while require() results in a Fatal Error. In other words, use
require() if you want a missing file to halt processing of the page.
include() does not behave this way, the script will continue regardless. Be
sure to have an appropriate include_path setting as well.

Hi all,
I need to send MS Word attachments from PHP (they're built on the fly).
I've tried PHPMailer but that doesn't like my NT box so I've gone back to
php's mail() function.
I'm using the following script but and the attachment is in the same
webfolder as the script but when I check the email, the attachment is
there - but blank.
$border="--==================_856811060==_";
$recipient = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";// . ", ";
$subject = "Birthday Reminders for August";
$message = "$border\n";
$message .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii;format=flowed\n";
$message .= "The following email includes a formatted ASCII table\n";
$message .= "Day \t\tMonth \t\tYear\n";
$message .= "3rd \t\tAug \t\t1970\n";
$message .= "17rd\t\tAug \t\t1973\n";
$message .= "$border\n";
$headers = "From: Birthday Reminder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n"; // mailer
$headers .= "Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n"; // Return path for errors
$headers .= "Mime-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$border\"\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: application/msword; name=\"Introduction.doc\"\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
$headers .= "Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\"Introduction.doc\"\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers);
Any suggestions?

I did a clean install of windows XP so no version of php was running. I did
try just changing the looadModule to PHP4, which gave me an error "module
not found". I did try every way of loading php-sapi I could find in the
decimation including dropping php4ts.dll in the sapi directory.
>From an email i got it looks like PHP5's apache2 dill is called
php5apache2.dll which is not included with the beta1 or current snapshot
"php5-win32-200310172230".
I did drop back to the 4-code base and the setup went fine and works with
LoadModule php4_module C:/www/php/php4apache2.dll
I run my sever as a hobby so I like being on the bleeding edge. To bad I
bled to death:( The clean install was to move my server back to windows XP
from Mandrak Linux.
If anyone gets this combo to work drop me an email and let me know how you
did it. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

can you explain why register globals is a big security risk??
if you have register globals on and a user goes to
http://www.site.com/index.php?visitor=10
$visitor is set to 10 so yes they can change the integer for visitor
but even with register globals off they can change it there too. cause
you script just does $_POST['visitor'] it still retrieves the same
value from the querystring, that is unless you use GET instead of POST
also which is better and more secure to use GET or POST???

instead of using $username use $_POST['username'] sounds to me like
you have register globals off on your devel machine and turned on on
your production machine... From what i am told it is best to develop
with register globals OFF i always config my php to have that off.

Just out of curiosity, if I was to work with register_globals set to on (on
my home/testing/devel server), and then transfer my scripts across to a hosting
server for them to be run live, will my scripts run if the PHP.ini file is
configured to have register_globals set to off?
