List,
I'm using PG functions like below and I'm wondering how to get rid of
that dang Warning message? PHP.ini setting? or can I turn on/off error
checking?

$rs is the result from pg_exec() (inside the other function)

[PHP Code]
$rs = get_database_stuff("list");
$irow = 0;
while ($ec = pg_fetch_object($rs, $irow)) {
        printf("<option value=\"%s\"", $ec->uuid);
        if ($ec_uuid == $ec->uuid) { printf(" selected"); }
        printf(">%s</option>\n", $ec->name);
        $irow++;
}
[Resulting HTML]
<option value="C878CD32A3DB4CC98DEF1D5E1BCD4E30">Zhuhai Formula One</option>
<br>
<b>Warning</b>: Unable to jump to row 920 on PostgreSQL result index 3
in <b>/var/www/html/default.php</b> on line <b>89</b><br>

Write your code so it doesn't go to a non existent row in the result set?
At least that's what it looks like to my non-pg-user eyes.

> printf("<option value=\"%s\"", $ec->uuid);

Uh, why are you using printf rather than just echoing? Kind of wasteful,
let alone harder to read.

echo "<option value=\"$ec->uuid\"";

Put an in front of the pg_fetch_object()

It's really a pain that PG issues a warning for this.

WARNING: After you get used to putting the symbol by habit, you'll make a typo in the pg_fetch_object() but you'll suppressing the error message :-(

Only add the after the code works!

There are a couple of different PHP classes that people have written to make PDF creation easier... maybe they would streamline the process enough that you can make them from scratch after all.

http://www.pc4p.net/ http://ros.co.nz/pdf/

I didn't know about those the last time I had to deal with PDF generation, but they look pretty useful. Creating complex PDFs with just the base PDFLib functions is definitely a pain. :)

Maybe you could use PDF with FDF to accomplish this task (see http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.fdf.php).

Might it be your/your provider's anti-virus blocking the clsid string? You could try to send another long mail with common text or HTML.

That's not how MIME based email bodies start. > //$message.= "<p><object > classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' > codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.ca > b#version=5,0,0,0' width='500' height='300'><param name=movie > value='http://www.delaplaine.net/flashmail/delaplaine.swf'><param > name=quality value=high><param name=menu value=false><param name='BGCOLOR' > value='#54616E'>";

This will give an error, because the message is not defined as a propper MIME type.

I'm not 100% sure of the exact correct syntax of MIME based email now, but a look at the RFCs. A nice quick hack to get the propper syntax, send yourself a HTML based email from OE or a similar mail client, and view the source of the generated email message.

You need things like

--- message type="mime/type" type="application/x-shockwave --- --- next part="lbahb lah" ---

etc etc etc.

So yes, you're problem is that your email's not properly formated. Search arround a bit, read some fine manuals, and make some examples of MIME based email messages from clients that you know works properly (such as OE).

Then, go back, format your message body properly, and it should all work very nicely

Hallo folks: (Sorry for a repost on the same topic just that my first one never got through)...

I have a bit of an issue with Paradox Table Searching... I have a fairly large table (4MB+), here is the problem:

When I run a search for an element in the Table on my localhost which is running Apache and php 4.1, I have no issues with speed... However when I run it on the Server at my work place, which is running IIS Server (I am not sure which version), and the same PHP version on my Workstation it takes ages to execute...

I have gotten suggestions and have revised my Script over and over using odbc_exec() with SQL commands SELECT myColumn FROM myTable, I have used a COUNT SQL command suggested on this forum, My general algorithm is as follows...

1) I create an Array using odbc_fetch_array this Array contains one column from the Table I am searching... 2) Keep trying to matchup each element in the array against the validation element being checked... returning found within a sequential loop... and eventually "Not Found"... 3) I suppose the sequential loop is whats killing me, but the table is not ordered hence I am forced to do a sequential search.. Does anyone else have an idea for a quicker and much more efficient algorithm...

Once again the issue of Speed is a non-factor on my local machine running Apache but it does become a factor when I run it on our Server, which is running an IIS Server...

Thanks in advance...

If table locking then if anyone is doing an update then the whole table is locked until the update is complete. If row locking then only the row being updated is locked.

Thinking along those lines, how many database connections are configured in IIS? If everybody had to use a single database connection (and there were a lot of users) then each would have to wait their turn. Similarly, how may concurrent instances of IIS are configured in it. These could make a difference but I'd doubt if the defaults were poor in these respects.

Why are you building the array? Why not let SQL do the work?

Select col1, col2, col3, ... coln from target_table where field_holding_target_value = '$target_value_i_want'

If you have no records returned, then no match, otherwise you have one or more matches. In the second case you can proceed with your processing. I've also noted Chris Hewitt's suggestions re number of connections, etc.; that's worth checking as well.

See below as well ...

How are you populating the array?

>2) Keep trying to matchup each element in the array > against the validation element being checked... > returning found within a sequential loop... > and eventually "Not Found"...

Are you hitting the database each time through the loop, or stepping through the result set? How many elements in the array?

>3) I suppose the sequential loop is whats killing me, > but the table is not ordered hence I am forced to > do a sequential search.. Does anyone else have > an idea for a quicker and much more efficient > algorithm...

What reasons are there for not ordering the table? Indexes speed things up dramatically, for both the users on the LAN and those accessing via the 'Net. Use indexes, they're your friend!

I'd order the php array (either ascending or descending) and ask for the database records similarly ordered (e.g. select myColumn from myTable order by myColumn). Then you only need make the comparisons until the value is lower (or higher) than the one it is being compared with. Make sure there is an index on myColumn in the database.

On my localhost (My Work Station) it takes 2 seconds to run the same search on the same Table... And on the work place Server it takes 30+ seconds... I think I have figured out the problem, it should be to do with the fact that I am connecting to a Table on the Network that is also being used by another Application (1st Place 95)... And at current 8 people are using this Application and constantly use it during working hours... I'll try the search at night and see if there is a difference...

Thanks for the response...

Sorting the Array will cost more time I think dependent on the Sort Approach... Creating the Array takes 1 or so secs... I should try and run it as a Script and set a timer...

Thanks again though...

How about

SELECT * FROM table WHERE $current_shot BETWEEN start_shot AND end_shot

Also, I hope you are validating $current_shot if register globals is on, to make sure it's really just an integer and not some extra SQL that'll allow someone to view your entire table/database...

Yes, you can, providing that those fields would exist and be of a comparable type. Just one question, wasn't it quicker to just give it a try? :)

Yes, good point. I don't know if it matters in MySQL either, but always test your queries and see which is faster. EXPLAIN may come in handy here. I don't see why it would be different, it seems like both would be interpreted the same...

Can you show the message body? MIME isn't related to the headers that directly. Propper syntax of the body of the message is more important, and is more than likely where your fault lies. > Please help, I have had no luck with the manual or my archives.

Hi,

I have a form: <input type=file name=pdfFile>

And the code that processes the form: if ($_FILES['pdfFile']['name'] == "") { print "You must select a file to upload"; } else { // code to add data to db }

This works on my server at home (when I select a file to upload, it sees the filename in $_FILES['pdfFile']['name'], but on a server at work, it's blank so I see the error "You must select a file to upload".

Any ideas on why this might happen? Is there anything in php.ini that could be wrong (it works here at home when register_globals is set to on or off)?

Thanks everyone, Tyler

Headers have to be the first thing sent, before anything else. Once anything else is sent then, by definition, headers are complete.

Think of the error message saying "Some output has been sent so its too late to send a header now."

How about working out the length of the column (by dividing the number of rows by the number of cols you want), dump your results into an array and using the col length as an offset to pick through the resulting table?

// $data is an array of results

$rows = count ($data) $row_len = round ($rows / 3); // three cols

print "<table>"; for ($i = 0; $i < $row_len; $i++) { print "<tr>"; print "<td>".$data[$i]."</td>"; print "<td>".($row_len + $i < $rows)?$data[$row_len + $i]:" "."</td>"; print "<td>".((2 * $row_len) + $i < $rows)?$data[(2 * $row_len) + $i]:" "."</td>"; print "</tr>" } print "</table>";

This is off the cuff code and I think the row length's might need some extra checking, but sth like this should work... (crosses fingers)

Well I guess I'd better get my 2 cents in. :) There is a natural progression to HTML tables so why fight it? I think the cleanest way to do this would be to reorder the array instead of trying to come up with a clever way to build the table. Set the number of table rows you want then use that as an offset to the dates array. Simply ask if(isset($dates[$i+$rowoffset])).. five lines of code in a for() loop and you got it licked. Then you can run through the new array and generate the HTML table linearly without any tricks and pad with the necessary number of cells. -Kevin

Well you still want the article ID number in the URL, right?...

mysite.com/topic/article/39403848

Then just use $PATH_INFO to snag your article ID and load up the content.

attached mail follows:

Are you really working with actual map coordinates that include longitude and latitude?

This seems to be a reverse approach to what I usually see. From what I've seen, you typically display a map of the united states. Click a state to zoom in. Have the state map divided into sections, click the section to zoom. And just continue having maps divided into sections that the user can click to zoom in closer and closer.

Using coordinates to accomplish this seems possible, but overly complex. You'll literally be creating a 3D world and that means you'll end up having to create coordinate systems for every single object in the world. For example, say you give coordinates and then have a 5 mile by 5 mile map display centering on these coordinates. Then each house falling within that geographic boundry gets displayed on the map. Obviously, it sounds very cool... but incredibly complex. It's just as easy to use the method I described above to zero in on the geographic area and list houses within that zone rather than draw pin-points on a map to show where the houses reside geographically. Especially when that geographic representation includes things like other houses, streams, schools, etc.

Well heck, you've peaked my interest. I don't see how javascript makes any difference. The power of the app MUST be some server-side app otherwise it would work in any Browser (or please correct me in any way).

I'd like to hear more details about this. What kind of maps do they produce? I once worked with on a map site called pixxures.com and they had MANY servers that were SPECFICALLY designed to process requests and return images (ran on linux and solaris and might have worked on windows as the app itself was in java I believe). We only had to provide coordinates from the web form to these apps and they'd return a slice of an image.

Good question. Isn't GPS 3D? I'm guessing you're correct, but now I'm curious.

Assuming it's a 2D-based situation, it still seems easier to use the approach I described in the last e-mail and then somehow tie the GPS coordinates into that system rather than base everything on GPS. You'd end up with a translation of sorts. For example, X,Y coordinates translates to map T14. Display the map, assume the X,Y Coordinates are the boundries of the map, identify which properties are listed on that map and plot points for them...

You can either attempt a complex search for properties in the geographic zone every time the zone is displayed, or you can look up the map when you enter the initial information and store the value as part of the data set. That means your only searching for properties in the T14 zone.

This definitely seems possible from within PHP. It's just going to be A LOT of work. Pretty complicated too....

Sounds fun! hehe

At pixxures.com the client just entered their ADDRESS. Then the backend (probably a bit too much for javascript) would return a sattelite view of that address. I believe they were using Russian data or something. But as I mentioned before, they had serverS that only took requests, cut out images, returned images. Oh heck, they are still in business, take a look:

http://www.pixxures.com/

But I can't wait for them to serve up any images as they are dreadfully slow.

[Also read your post saying they'll have GPS units]

So, have the brokers put the house information, including the Lat/Long into the database.

Now, find a map website that generates maps based on the lat/long (among other things) you type into the URI. For example, http://tiger.census.gov/cgi-bin/mapsurfer. Use the URI format as the basis for writing your PHP script's process that display's URI's.

I'm currently working on a system that grabs an image from a map server and, using html layers, overlays where the products are.

Basically, this is how it's set up.

The map server is running on a WinNT system.

In the html code, I put am image tag that accesses the web server, passing the x,y coords (formatted as x meters from some origin) and zoom level (plus some other details). I then get the web server to access the map server (this is to shield the map server from the outside world) and basically do a fpassthru() on the data.

Meanwhile, the html doc has a layer placed over the map image. This layer contains another image with just the products on it. I get php to generate this second image on the fly by querying the database, filtering out all the products that lay outside the image's area, then I plot the points onto the image.

Because there's a lot of other things that are happening on the page (due to the client's requirements), when the user wants to zoom or pan the map, I use js to update the images.

Hope that helps anyone out there. Martin

I was just checking it out. That map is awesome! What's funny is that it even has an option to display the picture of a house at the coordinates you specify.

You mean something like this (incomplete) project:

http://chatmusic.com/maplocater.htm

The Red "dots" and the long/lat lines are not part of the static image: http://chatmusic.com/visual/maps/worldmap.jpg

They are coming from the database, and being added by GD.

Crude, but effective.

Yeah, if you give every Agent a GPS and record long/lat for each house, you can plop each of them into any map you have some minimal GPS info for. Specifically, you'll need to identify two (2) widely-separated landmarks on each map with known GPS co-ordinates. The Zip Codes are a good starting point, since the TIGRE data is freely available.

NOTE: End-user GPS units are "off" by like 30 meters (?) on purpose so Joe Blow can't tell the "enemy" how to find the White House and blow it up. Sigh. You're never gonna beat that error margin without a *LOT* of repeated readings over a long period of time and statistical analysis...

For this application, which is pretty much the same as yours only for music venues, I've found that a mix of GPS and hand-outlined borders of maps is the best solution.

I'm using the GPS to plop in the "dots", and have the left/right and horz/vert "scale" of each map in GPS co-ordinates terms.

But, when it comes time to "click" on the USA, that's just a raw set of points that I outlined using a web-interface, and an image map. I *CAN* convert any x/y in an image to any long/lat and vice-versa, of course.

But keeping all that junk in the database as 2-D mapping would only be needed if you're going to be providing driving directions and keeping all the highways and all that crap that MapQuest keeps (I assume). You almost for sure don't need all that.

Ya know what? I've pretty much written all the tricky parts of this thing...

You want to just license it or sub-contract me or something? I could save you a ton of time.

How many properties are we looking at? I've only got 1500 music venues in the database...

The one tricky part is getting public domain maps of the regions you want. We may need to commission a graphic artist or cartographer to synthesize the desired maps...

I though the documentation stated that all path variables need to be specified if it is outside your path. In any case I think even --with- mysql may be optional nowadays (Isn't mysql compiled in by default). It is most likely should be set to /usr (RPM'd binaries) or /usr/local ( MySQL compiled from tarball)

> 2. Where would the path be likely to be on RedHat 7.2 with MySQL rpms?

The easiest way to find this out is to check a RedHat phpinfo.php installation, you'd see that it is compiled as --with-mysql=shared,/usr. The "shared" part just meands that MySQL will be a dynamically loadable php extension instead of compiled in.

Hope this helps,

Yes, they all definitely work. Remember that different news servers carry different newsgroups. Your ISP should be running a news server that carries all of the above-listed groups, though, as they're in the main hierarchy. Just ask your ISP for the name of its news server.

Alternatively, you can read them all in groups.google.com, though they're about 12 hours behind.

PHP needs a \\ just to get a single \, and Regex needs a single \ in front of the <.

Thus, you need \\< so that PHP hands \< to Regex and keeps Regex happy.

yep, that got over that hurdle, I used the config line ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr --with-ttf=/usr --enable-track-vars --enable-ftp --enable-imap --enable-ssl --enable-versioning --enable-trans-sid --enable-sysvsem --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-zlib-dir=/usr --with-gd=php

Or --with-gd=/full/path/to/gd/but/not/include/just/gd

if you want the one you've installed.

And, if you don't throw in --with-jpeg and --with-png and so on, then your GD won't do much, unless those are on by default, and ./configure can find them correctly.

Why does it matter if the page is authenticated? Get the time at the beginning, the time at the end of the page, subtract smaller from larger, and you've got how long it took the page to be created.... I think PEAR has a module that provides a nice interface for doing this and I'm sure there are others.

Not in the west. They are too busy allowing in the commercial spam they are sending themselves. Otherwise you'd never be reading mail from a server called Lena.tut, as you are right now. And thank god they are not, since our ISP as a *lousy* SMTP service and I have to resort to this to make sure I can keep on working.

What I do not understand is why you would need to build anything to bomb the guy. Just make sure you get an ISP that cannot track the phisical call (here many are still on protostoric pulse stations, you can find that somewhere at your place too, pretty sure).

Then invent yourself a server name and run straight from sendmail, over. All you need is a temporary account from a dial-up. You are not robbing a bank, so nobody will look for you (your abuse.somewhere.co.za will say they never knew anybody, just like they said from norway and they will keep on drinking their beers).

Personally I would not be cruel to anyone that has been already that mistreated by Mother Nature. Let him live with himself, it's the worst you can do to him. We got rid of Erik, but he never will :) *that* makes me happy.

If you want to build an SMTP server using PHP, go ahead.

http://php.net/sockets

However, at some point, your SMTP server has to send the email to another SMTP server if you want it to go somewhere.

That SMTP server will record where the email came "From" in the email headers.

Best you could do would be to forge a bunch of headers "before" those, and then choose randomly from the open relays so that nobody can figure out which is the common mail server doing the forgery.

Even then, it's only a matter of time before a determined sysadmin could find you and hunt you down.

me neither. You can mix up code and content only as long as you work alone. But in most project (even very small ones) design resources and coding resources are not the same person, as design is largely a matter of customer taste, while proper coding is not.

Sometimes you have two people that are *far* from each other. Sometimes they do not even have a common language. So the less they need to interact, the better.

Besides, if the two things are well separeted you can port an application from one design to another with little effort. Sort of changing "skin" to a site. But you are attempting suicide when you do that on a site that mixes the two components.

Not sure I am saying the truth but I'd say Mozilla 1.1 alpha does the same. I stepped thru it while I was (am) in a hurry, so I just sent the headers in instead and everything worked out. But setcookie() appearantly did not.

Maybe someone else did investigate a bit more. Maybe it was my code being broken. It's just a suspect.

The 'date' command-line utility reads the time zone from environment variable 'TZ'. It then adjusts the system time before displaying it.

So your server is probably set to GMT, and your login environment specifies EDT, which is 4 hours earlier. PHP is defaulting to GMT. Look into putenv().

For what it's worth, the only way to create a convincing fake routing history in a message's headers is to find an open relay that doesn't properly stamp mail it receives.

There are a very few SMTP servers which will receive and forward a piece of mail without adding a "Received:" line that says where they got it from. Thankfully these machines are almost all gone since they have been brutally punished by spammers pumping messages through them.

They're also listed on blacklists, so many people (myself included) wouldn't see messages that came through them.

I'm trying to preg_split() text between "<page>". I used the following but can't get the regular expression to work:

$content = "blah blah <page> blah blah blah"; $paged = preg_split( "[[:cntrl:]*]<page>[[:cntrl:]*]", $content );

I also tried the following...

$content = "blah blah <page> blah blah blah"; $paged = preg_split( "[:cntrl:]<page>[:cntrl:]", $content );

...and...

$content = "blah blah <page> blah blah blah"; $paged = preg_split( "[[:cntrl:]]<page>[[:cntrl:]]", $content );

But none of these work. Can someone tell me what's wrong? I just want to split the text on "<page>" and include any line feeds that may have been put in before or after the "<page>" text.

Thanks.

The * needs to be after the character class, ie [[:cntrl:]]*.

Thanks Dan. But, removing the asterisk or putting it after the character class doesn't work either for some reason.

I just tried it, but, still can't make this work. Also, I'm getting different results between explode() and preg_split(), is that normal? Here's what I'm trying:

$content = "blah blah page_break blah blah blah blah"; $contentpage = preg_split("[[:space:]]*page_break[[:space:]]*", $content);

But I just get a PHP error: Warning: Unknown modifier '*' in testme.php

If I try this:

$content = "blah blah page_break blah blah blah blah"; $contentpage = preg_split("[[:space:]]page_break[[:space:]]", $content);

I get this PHP error: Warning: Unknown modifier 'p' in testme.php

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with the reg exp, but, it won't even parse. Both expressions above used with explode() only produce empty array variables, as though it's stripping out everything.

What am I doing wrong?

DOH! It's preg!!! [[:space:]] is for ereg. Use \s. I don't know why I didn't notice sooner. Do this:

'/\s*page_break\s*/'

They are "delimiters." Other characters can be used, but / is the standard.

Check out explode() and I think you'll find what you need.

Have you considered the possibility that, in this case, the book might have a misprint? Your definitive source should always be the latest php documentation.

I have some clients who want to charge a flat rate for words entered, but over a certain number of words there is an additional charge, to complicate matters there is an option/addon where you can bold the lines, and there is a charge per line, so you have to calculate the total number of lines based on character total.

Anyone know of way to accomplish this, I know that it will have to be done in seperate ways. but does anyone have an idea or two .. hlp

You can use explode() to split the text up into words, and then count them up. You can use strlen() or substr() or something to see how many "lines" there are...whatever you define a line as. Look up other useful functions at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php.

Dan, if you are entering the words in a form, when the variable holding the string hits your script do something like this.... (Hey I just figured this out myself too!!!!

Gotta love these lists!!!!!!!!

$tmpStr= whatever the form passes your script // turn string into an array // use EXPLODE() to seperate the words into an array // since they are seperated by a " " (blank space) $tmpAry = explode(' ',$tmpStr); // if they were seperated by commas you would write $tmpAry = explode(',',$tmpStr); // DIG???? // then just use count($tmpAry) to figure out the size of your array // and you have the number of words!

There might be an easier way than that, but it workes for me. -Peace dude!!!!!!!! PS: Thank Andrew Braund for the solution, he sent a varriant of it to me!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be a bit more precise, the awnser's actually No. You can't build a application on (in?) either (a) or (b) as indicated above. However, a application could be written in various languages to accomplish both (a) and (b) without much hassles. ;))

I apologize profusely to the fans of the "alternative syntax" who are still using it.

I personally find the endxxx; to be more of an eyesore, but that's a religious argument. :-)

Never in my code.

If you can't tell from the logic structure of the code what } matches what {, you're in trouble from the get-go. :-)

Don't be ridiculous. Any decent editor will tell you where the missing { or } is. No need to search for it by hand.

Not to mention that if you've indented properly, it's trivial to find it, even in something as ill-suitable for Programming as NotePad.

None of my closing braces have comments. I never have a problem with "missing" ones.

It's impossible in PHP...

You *COULD* do some JavaScript or even a Java application which uploaded the file, maybe, and monitored the progress, maybe...

But it would hardly be worth the effort.

Does anyone have some examples, ideas, or references on how to setup php's safe_mode operation so that I can provide a reasonably secure environment for hosting php3 and php4 (public web sites, with public users).

This is for a public type hosting environment, so I'll definately need to protect the servers from malicious code (such as exec(rm... ), and everything else that goes with it...

Any pointers or web sites that may be of help will be appreciated tremendiously.

Hi y'all

Has anyone found any problems with the xml parsing functions when the xml document gets quite large. eg, a doc with about 5000 lines (about 200KB)

The problem that's occurring is that some of the elements are being broken in two parts

If you require more details, please ask, as it's one of my colleagues that is having this problem and I'll need her to pass on an example if needed.

I'd say there's an easier way than switches...

<? if(!empty($_GET['page_id'] && is_int($_GET['page_id'])) { $page_id = $_GET['page_id']; } else { // default if no id was passed, or it wasn't an integer $page_id = "1"; }

$file = "inc/page_" . $page_id . ".inc"; // eg page_18.inc

if(file_exists($file)) { include($file); } else { include('inc/page_missing.inc'); } ?>

The difference being that there's no extra code (case statements) for 1000 different page_id's, or just 5 page_id's, and I've included pretty much all the fallbacks for missing page_id, missing include files, etc etc.

You just need a /inc/ dir full of page_n.inc files.

Good luck!

Hi all. I know for sure that this question has been asked and answered before, but I haven’t read anything about it in the 6918 mails I got from this list yet (or missed it ;). I have been wondering for a couple of days now on how to make a mailing list (like this list) with PHP. Before writing this, I went to hotscripts and evilwalrus but didn’t find anything. I think it should be easy for me if I could gain physical access to my server, but that’s not the case. I don’t wanna use other language because I am trying to get around PHP at it most so any idea very much appreciated.

The only way I've ever done it was on a Unix box:

- filter the email - if it's a certain address, subject, or whatever, pipe it to a php script (command line executable, rather than http) - use this PHP script to manipulate the headers and body of the email, and re-send it to the subscribers, or act on commands like subscribe, unsubscribe, etc.

it's pretty complex stuff (or at the very least, a lot of work!!), and obviously will require some non-typical allowances on the server, like the ability to access scripts from the command line, email filtering, and possibly even some special allowances on the server for bulk mail sending (ie, some shared hosts restrict to batches of 100, etc).

if you're on a shared host, I doubt you'll be able to do this, but they may be interested in installing a simular application onto the server for you (and others to use)... there are heaps of them out there (ezmlm the obvious one), and they might even have such a beast already installed.

Good luck!

I was hoping NOT to receive this kind of answers, but guess it's logical. On the other hand, when reading your answer Justin, it came to my mind (and that's luck) that HTML (Web) e-mail readers made in PHP does manage the incoming e-mails with no server-side assistance... Is it logical to think that a PHP script of this sort, joined by an 1 second auto-reload would do the trick?

I mean, detect new e-mail, authenticate the sender in a DB, decide what to do (suscribe, unsubscribe or send to list), and take action... Am I talking crazy or what?

Obviously I'm thinking about a small-to-medium size mailing list.

Thanks, C.

We use qmail/ezmlm to run this list. High-traffic lists like this require software written specifically to solve this problem. You would not write such a mailing list system in PHP. It would make no sense. The parts you might write in PHP would be web interfaces to allow your user to subscribe, unsubscribe, browse archives, etc.

It’s me again… and not PHP related. Why is it that every piece of mail I send to the list comes back as a *rich text” or sometime even “plain text”, when my M$ Outlook is set to send HTML messages? I think it would make sense if *EVERYBODY* e-mail where received like mine because of server’s settings, but some people letters appear as they intend to be. Any thoughts?

Hello,

There is a form tag which is like <input type="image" name="xyz" src="abc.jpg" value="xyz">

This will have the same effect as clicking on a HTML submit button.

Hope this helps, Sachin.
