I dont get the difference between this two instructions...

mail("mailtomailto.com", "Subject", "Message") or die("It suck");

mail($mailto,$subject,$content) or die("It suck");

Im just getting a server error on the second instruction... I've checked the
vars with the is_string() function and all are strings... Ive used this mail
function many times... and it already worked in the script...but suddenly it
didnt work.

Im thinking about the smtp server, but i dont understand why the first
instruction is sent by the server and when i use the second, i get a server
error.
I dont get it!!! why is that #"$%&% server error!!!

Note: I cant chage the second instruction's vars to simple text, because its
inside a for loop.

Using:
Apache/PHP 4.2.1 in Win2k

The SMTP is a Unix Service in another Server.

Any help would be appreciated...im gonna get bald if i stay like this...

GOT IT,

   basically in a script like this
<?
kadsf;
kasdjfdsfj;garbage;
?>

php treats these as contants, and issues a notice saying that undefined
constants are being used. The default setting for the php.ini file is :

error_reporting = E_ALL &~E_NOTICE

thus all notices are not displayed. setting error_reporting to E_ALL solves
this

Hi,

  what sort of size limtis does fopen() have on a Linux based system ?

attached mail follows:

I am trying to create a message board. I setup a windows 2000 server and
installed IIS. In order to setup this messageboard i need to have PHP
installed. I downloaded the PHP installer and tried to run it but i get a
error message stating that there was a missing OCX component and it cant
configure the webserver. Does any know where i can get step by step
instructions in setting this up. The instructions that come from php.net are
too confusing.

Thanks for the help. I made the assumption that all data from each page was
being downloaded but it is not.

I do have one other question. I've used microtime() to test how long it
takes to download each page and have noticed that some pages may take as
long as 45 seconds to download!!! I know that this lag is out of my control
as it is depends upon the status of the remote server. However, I would
like to tell the script that if "x" amount of time has passed and the
fopen() function is not complete then stop and move on. I've tried using
while and if...else statements using microtime() as the timeout limit but I
didn't have any success. What kind of flow control mechanism should I use
for this??

Hi,

  I have never done this give this is shot, try it it should work.

you can use passthru()/system() to call wget (you can specify the timeout in
wget) (wget will let u know the success or failure) and donwload the file in
a temporary folder. then you can use fopen to open the file.

Thanks for the help Gamin. I've been reading some posts and have noticed
that lots of people are having the same problem as I. I'm using php 4.1.2
which came with redhat 7.3. I think that there was a bug in 4.1.2 regarding
fopen() and unusually long delays with HTTP files. I may try and compile
and install 4.2.3 and see if this resolves my problems.

Your suggestions may not be suited for what I need to do as I think that
writing to the disk would cause more overhead than I could live. Although
it sounds very interesting.

Thanks,

Ready people? Here is the solution:

Take note of the missing "www". Anyone familiar with Flash will see where
the problem is with that. Sorry to bother the list with a problem that in
the end really ended up not being a PHP problem persay. But something to
remember if you ever come across in the future.

This might sound like a dumb question but I just need verification so that
I can convince myself that I'm going insane!

I have this error in which I include 3 files (common_html.inc,
common_db.inc, common_functions.inc)
well I have a clean() function in the common_functions.inc file. But it
seems that it is not getting called
and then my script crashes. If I comment out the clean() function then it
works. The clean() function
is just for added security.

Is there a maximum number of times you can include different files?

-Matias

attached mail follows:

To my knowledge you can include as many files as you want.

If by commenting out the clean() function, I'd say you have a syntax error
in that function and you're just not seeing the error message. Turn on
full error reporting and see what happens.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has a good example of a way to do this. Kinda
lame, but like if the time is between 8am and 12pm, say "good morning",
between 12pm and 6pm, say good afternoon, and so on.

I know this is probably pretty trivial, but I just wanted to see what
ideas where out there.

Thanks in advance!

PHP can give you the server time, but for this I think it would be better to

How about this:

function getgreetingtime() {

  $hour = date("G");
        
  switch(true) {
    case($hour < 12):
      $time = "morning";
      break;
    case($hour >= 12 && $hour < 18):
      $time = "afternoon";
      break;
    case($hour >= 18):
      $time = "evening";
      break;
  }
        
  return $time;

Of course the best solution for this is mod_perl (for those who know
some Perl) but you can cheat in PHP. The problem in PHP is that you
cannot intercept the Apache request phases as you can with mod_perl.
I've mentioned this in other posts and even have an example up on my
site:

http://www.schoenster.com/login.php

I tell apache to use my handler for access/authentication.

One way to do this in PHP is to have ONE index.php or whatever you set
the index file to in a folder. It determines who is requesting what and
then determines if this person is is authorized to access what they
wanted. You'd have to put the actual *data* outside the document root
otherwise they might just find it. Your index.php could grab the files
(if html) and just print them back. I used the same system in Perl
before learning of mod_perl. So far this is the only case where I can
do something in mod_perl that I cannot do as eloquently in PHP but
since I don't mind the pop up box that's not a big deal and since most
of my apps go through just a few php handlers I do my own auth/access
for every request and return my custom login page when needed.

Hi,
Is it possible to get a mime type of a file?
I need to be able to attach files, but I won't always know the mime type of what is being attached.
I could look at the extension of the file for a general Idea, but I wouldn't know if a .jpg file is an image/jpg or image/jpeg.(progressive) and there seems to be a difference between the two.

Thanks for any help.

Can I get the URL to your server, please, so I can pull up page.php?include=/etc/passwd ?? Thanks, I would really appreciate that.

But seriously, I really hope you are validating what $include is.

If you want the file to be included from a different directory, then you have to pass some flag/variable to PHP to tell it where to look. If you always want it to be in the same dir, then use

$info = file('files/' . $include);

---John Holmes...

attached mail follows:

Sarcasm aside, I do have the script set up (although I didn't note so in the last response) to not accept files with '.' or '..' in the path. The URL can accept directories within the one the PHP script is in, but not in a different path or any directory above its own (i.e., the server files).

What have you tried so far?

Just make your PHP page that shows the message and does the updates...

Then use a META-REFRESH to redirect after 5 seconds...

readfile() reads 8k blocks at a time and dumps them out. It does not read the entire thing into ram, so that wouldn't be what was causing you to hit a memory limit. You must have done something else wrong then.

I've seen a few other post on this, and it sounds like there is more then one of use that is trying this script. I've got it so that I can use the commands, but I still get errors on the page...

here is what I have done.

I downloaded libmycrpt from ftp://mcrypt.hellug.gr/pub/crypto/mcrypt/libmcrypt and configured it with the following options;

./configure \ --with-included-algos="rijndael-128 arcfour stream cbc cfb"\ --disable-posix-threads

I then reconfigured php with the --with-mcrpty option. now when I try to run the code I get the following errors; (the php code I will repost inc ase there are any questions)

I am running a PHP program under Linux on the command line. The problem I have is that I get no output to the screen until the program finishes.

I have lots of echo statements throughout the program to help me debug but none of them are printed until the program finishes, which is really a pain since the prog takes 30 minutes to run ...

The main() looks something like this. Can someone help me figure out why it is not printing anything until the program exists?

pg_exec($CONN, "BEGIN"); for ($i = 0; $i < 6001; $i++) { $retval = process($aFields); if ( ($i % 100) == 0 ) echo "$i\n"; if ($retval == 1) echo "error on line $i \n"; }

echo "COMMIT \n"; pg_exec($CONN, "COMMIT");

Thanks,

Hi,

I am trying to re-compile php 4.2.2. It seems that the option "--enable-trans-sid" is no longer there (but still in the manual). The reason for a re-compilation is that I was not able to have SID printed out. Here is the code I tried, but SID is empty: <?php session_start(); echo SID; ?>

However, session_id() does tells the current sid.

Anyone knows why. I am using linux (glibc=2.2.5 and kernel=2.4.18).

Thanks,

hi,

I've Apache 2 running fine in my Windows 2000 machine. I installed PHP 4.2.3( from the zip-file method ). I copied php4apache.dll and php4apache2.dll to /WINNT/system32 and /WINNT as well( to be safe ).

In my httpd.conf, either of the following startments are causing the Apache to not start... LoadModule php4_module F:/Progra~1/php-4.2.3-Win32/sapi/php4apache2.dll LoadModule php4_module "D:/WINNT/system32/php4apache2.dll"

I tried to give "F:/Program Files/php-4.2.3-Win32/sapi/php4apache2.dll" and all possible combinations of quotes, spaces, names, but it doesn't start if I include any of those combinations. Otherwise it works !

Besides the above mentioned problematic line, these are the other entries( in diff. lines ofcourse ) I've in my httpd.conf... -> DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.htm index.shtml index.php index.php3 index.php4 -> ScriptAlias /php/ "F:/Program Files/php-4.2.3-Win32/" -> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .phtml -> AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps -> Action application/x-httpd-php "F:/Program Files/php-4.2.3-Win32/php.exe"

I'm new PHP & Apache2. Can someone help me to make this work. Thanks a lot.

kramer.
