This is an excellent idea.

It seems to me that a template class, at the minimum, does this...

(1) Name a template to use.
(2) Pass the elements that will be plugged into the template.
(3) Parse the template.

There may be such a standard out and about already, so research into prior art
is probably the first step. Before anybody volunteers, we should all poke
around in other circles to see if we can find useful work.

Personaly, I find the idea of running something that comes in thru
email as wise as checking to see if a gun is loaded by pointing it
at your head and pulling the trigger. I can't imagine why anyone would
want to do it at all, let alone making automatic execution the default.

Email is for reading, not remote execution of programs.

Oh, I definitely agree. But take the ability out and too many people
squawk and complain. I think it should go beyond the application to
the effect of: "This is an Outlook Attachment, Word. It should only
be able to affect Outlook files until it is saved by the user to the
local disk. (and even then it should be rigorously checked)"

I dunno. There's a middle ground, but it involves making sure your
security model segregates Internet and local pretty securely. MS has
blurred that line way too much.

Hi Brian,

Have you correctly added the Addtype directives to the httpd.conf?

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml Action application/x-httpd-php3 "/php/php.exe" <-- is this directory correct at your installation?

Maybe you could paste your Addtype's in this maillist

Kind regards, Jerry Verhoef http://php.start4all.com

PS. Could you turn of the HTML in your email, a lot of ppl in this mailling list are not able to correctly read your email that way. And then they can't help you.

I am trying to learn PHP on my computer at home. I am using Windows 98 on a PC. I decided to use Apache as my server. I am having trouble viewing the php files. I used directions for http://thickbook.com who wrote the book I am using to learn.

I would appreciate any advice.

You see I was born in Russia, grew up between Italy and US and now I'm living in Japan. If you will try to detect the users language by it's location you will definitely constrict users like me to read it in the language they might not prefer most.

I believe that the most professional way would be a simple menu so the users can choose which language is better for them and while choosing it they will also respect your website because it was translated that well.

Another thing is that you probably won't have all the possible languages in the world and it means that many users simply cannot be redirected to the right language.

Like Ukrainian, if I'm from Ukraine I then don't mind to see your website in Russian (assume that you have Russian but not Ukrainian), but if you are doing it automatically I will then be constricted to see it in your default language which is English and which I might not to know.

As a webmaster I think there's no way it can be done professionally by a program.

You have to take a look at your php3.ini file, wich should live somewhere in youre ?:\windows directory. Somewhere along the way you will stumble across a section which looks like this:

[mail function] SMTP = your.smtpserver.tld ;for win32 only sendmail_from = youremailaddress.tld ;for win32 only sendmail_path = ;for unix only, may supply arguments as well (default is sendmail -t)

You just have to edit the two first lines after the header.

Hi there.

I have played with PHP a while (very low key stuff) and have a lovely installation with MySQL etc etc..

Now I come to want to write a couple of sites that use content from a database in order to cross reference the content etc etc.

Rather than me sit here and ask questions forever... I would like to find a tutorial on the best (or at least a way) to create a dynamic site.

I'm trying to "do" a slashdot type site but with all the input from us with testing articles etc etc and including photos and so forth but in a templated style... I guess my biggest question is how to create the pages so that they all look they same when created on the fly.. I have ideas on how to do this but feel a tutorial would answer most questions..

And I'd rather look at a tutorial and figure it myself than constantly ask questions!

I need to run a PHP script that will write data into a MySQL database monthly, for a recurring billing app. I have PHP as Apache module, and have been unable to compile a CGI version (I've tried a few times).

Anyway, the script needs to have variables containing the data for the fields. This seems to break lynx or wgets. I've tried \ before the ? and &, but this doesn't seem to work either.

After login info, the script recur.php is only one real line: mysql("billing","INSERT INTO CartItems VALUES ('$UID','$ItemID','$ItemQuantity','$ItemNote','$Date','$CartItemsID')");

Here's one of many attempts (all on one line):

lynx -dump recur.php?UID=18&ItemID=4&ItemQuantity=10&ItemNote=Hello&Date=20000611.032900&CartItemsID='' > /dev/null

I've searched the archives, and read all I can on the lynx/wgets/cron stuff, but don't see how to pass variables through.

i found this same problem, when you do the lynx blahblah you need to put the address you are going to in ""'s and also you need a full path to the file ie. http://blah.server.com/recur.php?blah=1&blah2=2

your best bet may be to just include the file and then in recur.php put global's for all the variables you need from the previous page.

I think it is most likely that the shell is trying to parse the address you're passing to it. Suggest you try to work out the syntax of escaping/quoting chars using echo, then try again.

curl (sort of wget on steroids) allows you to POST variables instead of GETting them, but if the problem is that the shell is parsing the URL encoded variable list then switching to curl won't solve it.

You should grab the latest version (1.25). It can, in conjunction with Manuel Lemos' smtp class, send Bcc. Check the bottom of the class file for details. HTH

All the values in the table doesn't have 30 or 100 chars with just some minor exceptions. Now... my question is... Every record will have 130 bytes ? Or the system detect the real size of a field ? (like 3 or 15 instead of 30 from definition) I don't know if I was very clear... (I don't know english very good... lol)

Yes, the questions was how to create a variable by joining a string and a variable... the solution was:

$var = ${"ref_url_" . $ref_count};

Nice fellow by the name of Brian pointed this out to me. It's in the manual, but I didn't relate the example to what I was looking for.

THanks.
