qmail comes with a wrapper called sendmail which emulates sendmail. I'm not
sure where php's configure expects to find sendmail but you can try
copying/linking the wrapper to /usr/lib and/or /usr/sbin.

I don't believe there is one. At the very least you can:
touch /usr/sbin/sendmail
which creates an empty file where ./configure expects to find sendmail.

This is best:
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
Now any program expecting to find sendmail in the default location will find the Qmail wrapper instead, and will work.

..., unfortunately that's not possible. Each DELETE statement can only delete from a single table.

The cache-control directives are only supposed to be followed if the page was to be _explicitly_ reloaded or refreshed. The BACK button (as specified in the standards rfc XXXX something or another) is NOT supposed to reload or refresh a page -- it is supposed to redisplay the page from the cache. Buggy browsers like NN, IE & Mozilla etc reloads the page. Well behaved browsers like Opera redisplays from cache and hence your problem.

If you use Opera to access your application, does the BACK button allow you to see previously viewed 'secure' pages after being logged out?

Instead of doing a foreach to unset your session variables you can use session_unset(); which will unset all your session variables for you.
Additionally if you are wanting to remove a cookie from a visitor's browser you should use setcookie, not unset $_COOKIE, $_COOKIE allows you to access the value of a cookie but not set or alter the contents of the actual cookie.
The manual page for session_unset is http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-unset.php
The manual page for setcookie is
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php
Also once you have executed session_destroy you have deleted the session information from the server, if you delete the sessionid cookie from the browser they will get a new session id the next time a session is started, there is no need to immediatly start and destroy another session.
If you do not care if a user gets a new session id the next time they visit your site you do not necessarily have to worry about deleting the sessionid cookie as the data is already destroyed and the cookie will be deleted when they close their browser (if cookie life is 0) or when the cookie lifetime expires.
Most if not all of this information is available from the PHP manual at http://www.php.net/manual

You might consider using cookies that keep track of the user's login name and a bitwise status to control AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Access0 controls instead of using session variables.

A lot has been said on the issue already, so I'll attempt to keep mine brief.
Cache control will help a little, but not all browsers support it. Yes, it will cause a little more traffic on your site, and yes it will "help" keep some people from clicking back, but it certainly won't FIX anything.
Javascript can disable back buttons, but i've never used it, because a) I hate javascript b) you can't rely on javascript to be available c) i don't like forcing people to work a certain way d) there are always work-arounds
I know it sounds simple, but try to analyse what other big sites are doing in this situation:
- amazon.com doesn't seem to "break" when I disrupt my surfing with a login or logout... it just picks up the pieces and does what it can. last time I bought stuff there, I certainly didn't notice any caching issues, or that my back button was disabled.
- my bank, the national bank (national.com.au) pops up the entire secure banking process in a new javascript window... essentially, this starts a new process for the user in a new window. when they log-out, the window is useless and is closed... there is NO clicking back if the window is closed :) I guess the national were concerned enough about back buttons and all that stuff to require javascript in order to use net banking... you'd have to make your own assessment of that.
If there's a big issue with people clicking back, I'd suggest that there *may* be a problem with the logic of your site. Afterall, clicking "back" is what the web is about!! If the big sites can cope with it, I'm sure you can.
In short my solution is that if you CAN'T live with people clicking back, then you should open the sensitive content in a new window which is auto-closed when the user logs out... this way there is no hope of clicking back. Yes it requires javascript, which means you have to think hard about ignoring a % of your users.

That's exactly what I did, but I don't understand *how* they do it hence my question.
I surfed some of the big sites and saw that they do not break when a user hits the back button in the middle of a "transaction" or when the user is viewing a "secure" part of a web site.
> If there's a big issue with people clicking back, I'd suggest that > there *may* be a problem with the logic of your site. Afterall, > clicking "back" is what the web is about!! If the big sites can cope > with it, I'm sure you can.
Exactly. It can be done, but how. What are the techniques that I can use? On amazon for example they didn't rely on javascript and it didn't seem like they had turned caching off or force and refreshes.
From what I could tell, you could use the back button without any problems. *But* if you went back to a page and *then* clicked on something (a link, a button) then some kind of logic kicked and figured out that you where doing the same thing twice, or where doing something in an area you were not logged in to and acted accordingly.
So I agree with you that it definitely boils down to a "logic of your site" thing.
But what does that mean? How do I implement "logic" in my site? What are the ways to do this in PHP? What techniques do most PHP powered sites employ, what "patterns"?
Sorry if these are "newbie" questions ... I'm programmer, and understand the PHP "language" but when it comes to site design/logic with PHP I don't really know where to start.
Any help or pointers again very much appreciated!

Ah ... so using cache control is *not* the way to solve my problem ...
As Justin pointed it out I should be looking into solving this within my site "logic" then I guess ...
Does anyone know of any good online references or even books where I could read up on on to build "logic" into my site.
All the PHP books and references I have are great from a programming point of view but they hardly mention anything about site navigation/logic and how to implement it in PHP ...
Thanks!

For Bcc it would be pointless to include "My Name" as Bcc recipients are not displayed. Thus:
"Bcc: myemail.com\r\n"
would be adequate.
If you really want to include a name with the email address then the correct format is:
"Bcc: \"My Name\" <myemail.com>\r\n"

Well something weird is going on here. Both my dev and prod machines are PHP 4.2.2 They might have some differences since they are not distributed from the same people. One RH8 the other is a network applicace called an InstaRak.
At home on RH8 everything was fine... on the appliance I needed to remove the "\r" (was terminating all header lines with "\r\n") on the end of my header strings. Otherwise the To: mail was fine however the Bcc: mail was ignoring the headers and including them in the mail message.
So just for archives sake... This is how it workes on an InstaRak.

$tomail = "someguy.com";
$subject ="My Subject."; $message .="My Message.\n\n";

Have you installed the recent PostgreSQL version 7.3 already? This new version allows the use of ALTER TABLE much like you'd want it.

Try this:
print "<a href=\" " . $row["banner_nombre"] . " \">"; print ($row["banner_nombre"] ."<br>\n"); print "</a>";

Ok, now I see what you are trying to do. try this instead:
print "<img src=\" " . $row["banner_nombre"] . " \">";
You can get rid of the [ print "<a href=\" " . $row["banner_nombre"] . " \">"; ] and the [ print "</a>"; ] code.
This will display the image. I misunderstood before and thought you wanted the link to go to a page. But for displaying an image. The above code should do the trick.

Hi! I have to say that I'm new in PHP and I'm very glad of being part of it.
I apologize for the questions that I am gonna make, but anyone with patience will be appreciate.
I have a DB with 4 rows, one is the indez, the second is an hyperlink to an image and the other 2 are texts.
I made an PHP code to receive the information of the DB:
<?php $db = mysql_connect("localhost", user , password); mysql_select_db(efemerides,$db);
$response = mysql_query("select * from biografias", $db); while($row = ql_fetch_array($response)){ echo("<br>");
print($row["banner_nombre"] ."<br>\n");
print($row["nombre"] ."<br>\n"); print($row["texto"] ."<br>\n");
}
I need that the hyperlink (banner_nombre) brings the hyperlink and not a text. With the code I receive the text. If anyone want to check the page, is located at www.historiadelpais.com.ar/test.php
Thank you for your help.

Give this a whirl. Please note, this code is very much slapped together... it works, and i've tested it, but there's nearly ZERO error checking.
<? // a function for your library function getFilesInDir($thedir) { chdir($thedir); $dir = opendir('.'); while (($myfile = readdir($dir)) !==false) { if ($myfile != '.' && $myfile != '..' && is_file($myfile) ) { $files[] = $myfile; } } closedir($dir); chdir('../'); return $files; } // get the files in an array $files = getFilesInDir('../preshrunk/inc/');
// spit out a select box echo "<form><select name='files'>"; foreach($files as $key => $value) { echo "<option value='{$value}'>{$value}</option>"; } echo "</select></form>"; ?>

Happy New Year everyone!
Is the PHP mail() command robust enough to use in a little mailing list app? The app will basically send an HTML or Text e-mail to the member database of about 6,000 people. I'm using RedHat Linux 7.2 with PHP 4.2.2, by the way. I'm concerned I'll bog down my server if I issue the mail() command 6,000 times on our server, but, maybe it won't be a problem?
Also, although I'm sending HTML e-mail, I'm not including attachments or inline graphics (only direct hotlinks to graphics on a web server). Will mail() still work okay for this, or do I need to use one of the various PHP e-mail classes available to send HTML e-mail?
Any recommendations for online tutorials about building a mailing list manager using PHP would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Check the archives... mail() tends to "break" pretty quickly... sometimes on less than 100 personalised emails... The issue ISN'T mail() itself, but things like server timeouts, script timeouts, etc etc. The issue also isn't really HTML mail, but more the fact that each email has to be sent to the mail que, and this is a slow-ish process, so the script timesout.
So another option is Bcc'ing the email to everyone in a non-personalised manner... you can squeeze a lot more emails out of mail() before the script times out, but you will run into other issues like:
a) Bcc'd mails of more than 100 recipients can't be sent on most shared hosts, because it looks like spam -- check with your ISP b) some mail programs and servers treat mass Bcc emails as spam, I hear
At the moment, I've only got mailing lists that deals with 50-300 people, so I'm just Bcc'ing them in batches of 20 people... a trade off between lots of emails to timeout the script, and lots of people in the Bcc list.
I think for 6000 though, you will really need to look at a class like Manuel's at PHPclasses.org (I think called mimeMail) which has various work-arounds, none of which I've tried.
Cheers,
Justin

Personally I simply get the e-mail addresses spit out to me from the database and then I input them into a application made just for bulk mailingt. You can also easily write a quick perl or shell script to send it out from a file of names and this way you can "nice" the process so as not to bog down the machine.

I've got a newsletter that's now reached 5000 and continues to grow. I use PHP's mail() function, personalized with unsubscribe info and first names and it works just fine. I just set the timeout to 5 minutes, but it's never yet even taken 1 minute to complete.
Works fine.

Hi, I am new to the list so be kind. I have been messing with PHP 4 on a windows 2000 machine using apache and am having trouble getting sessions to run.

I have been through a tutorial and these are the basic scripts. session_register_var.php <? // set up a session session_start(); // declare a variable and give it a value $my_favourite_colour="blue"; // register the variable to the session session_register("my_favourite_colour"); // show a hyperlink to get to the next page echo "<A HREF='show_session_var.php'>Click here to go to the next page</A>"; ?> and show_session_var.php <? // continue using the session session_start(); // show the variable's value echo "My favourite colour is ... ".$my_favourite_colour; ?> My php.ini file session section looks like this [Session] ; Handler used to store/retrieve data. session.save_handler = files ; Argument passed to save_handler. In the case of files, this is the path ; where data files are stored.

change your script to:

You don't need to accept cookies for sessions. That's the beauty of it. PHP automatically appends ?PHPSESSID=$sessid to URLs.
If you do header("Location: abc") however you will need to add the seession ID to the URL.
You cannot read a session var on the same page that you set it I found.
To get around this I personally register the sessions vars and also set $_SESSION['whatever'] = 1; That way the next time I call the function I can still look for it under the same name.
I use a auth.php include file on eachprotected page. It basically looks to see if you have a session... if not asks you to log in and creates the session for you. If you have a session it just skips all the checking.
You will have to tweak this... especiallu since I use my own class for db stuff... but here it is... enjoy.
session_start(); $sessid = session_id(); // DEBUGGING $debug=false;
if(!(session_is_registered("mysession"))){ // Are we coming from the form? if (isset($authaction) && $authaction == 1 ) { require_once("/lib/util.php"); // Lets clean up the email var $email = strtolower(trim($_POST['email']));

On our system, this is /... This is not what you think it is-- this is the WEB path the cookie is valid for... That is, on our system, the browser will send the cookie for all pages under / (IE everything). If you only want the cookie sent back for pages under, say, /secure_directory, you would set this accordingly...
It could be PHP is sending the cookie, but your browser isn't sending it back because your "view" page isn't in the right directory from the browser's point of view...
Just a thought, hope it helps...

OK so sessions are working... cool...
So now you need to track down a your cookie problem.
Start of by setting your browser to ask you to accept all cookies. EVEN session cookies. In IE it would be Internet Options->Privacy Tab Advanced... Prompt and override defaults...
The take away the ?PHPSESSID=$sessid from the a href in page1.
Post the cookie details here.

OK But did your browser ask you if it was ok to set a cookie? (You did do the changes in privacy)
IE or Netsape (what version)?
Start with a fresh browser.. meaning close all browser windows and the start up your browser again.
We need to see if the problem is setting the cookie or reading it.

It appears that it is a problem with the Browser, I did as you suggested and changed the Privacy Settings Advanced to Override Automatic Cookie Handling and selected Prompt for both First and third party cookies.
Restarted the browser ie closed all browser windows and restarted IE 6 version 6.0.2800.1106, Cipher strength 128bit.
I get no prompt to se the cookie.
Session files are still being created in the temp directory.

Hello--
We run several web servers (PHP 4.2.2, Apache 1.3.27 on RedHat 6.2/i386) behind a load balancer... All the servers have their session.save_path set to an NFS-mounted directory.
It seems that session files are removed by the GC 1 hour (session.gc_maxlifetime = 3600) after being created, instead of one hour after being updated, even though they're being changed on every click... I can't explain why, but the problem goes away if I touch the session file every 60 seconds.
Is there a known issue with using NFS for session files?

Hi,
I try to do a function called unicode_enc() which takes a number of parameters that differ between calls. It should encode all parameters to unicode using utf8_encode($arglist[$i]). I am using Variable-length argument lists as described in the manual and tried to call the function this way: unicode_enc(&$text); but to no success.
Is call-by-reference possible when using func_get_args?
TIA, Ata

Is this expected behavior? If not, can anyone provide hints as to what might be the problem? Some of these tests seem to point to non-existent functions (xslt_set_object) so perhaps these tests are irrelevant?

I have a function (a preg_replace) to modify a PHP or HTML page with a few things. Right now, the only way I can do this flawlessly is with a wrapper page:
I have a page, called disp.php, that takes a file variable. When you type in disp.php?file=index.php, it loads the file with file_get_contents and uses preg_replace to replace the SQL queries (which is what I'm trying to do) and all of the relative links (i.e. /dir/page.php -> disp.php?file="/dir/page.php").
I thought that there might be an easier way to do this using the prepend and append directives in php.ini. Here's what I can do:
<!-- top.inc --> <? $contents = <<<EOD ?>
<!-- bottom.inc --> <? EOD; echo eval(preg_replace("Hello","Goodbye",$contents)); ?>
<!-- wraptest.php --> <? include("top.inc"); ?> <html> <body> Hello! <? $string="you"; echo "<br>How are $string today?"; ?> </body> </html> <? include("bottom.inc"); ?>
The script seems to work perfectly (it displays "Goodbye!", and on the next line, "How are you today?"), except it says there's a parse error on the last line of front.inc! Since the script works otherwise, is there any way to suppress the error? Will this method work with top.inc and bottom.inc in the auto_prepend_file and auto_append_file directives instead of at the top and bottom of the page? I won't have access to a php.ini file for a week, so I can't truly test it, but the documentation said that those directives work like include statements.
Thanks for the help!

You need to call your select name as name="destlist[]"
Then php will know to expect an array list

Yup, still experimental. But from what I've experienced, they work just fine together. I run Apache 2.0.43 and PHP 4.3.0 together without any problems what so ever. When you compile php with apache 2, remember to: ./configure --with-axps2 instead of ./configure --with-apxs

Hi All,
Hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year, I am still having trouble getting an insert data form to work. Below is the code. I was also wondering if anyone could tell me the PHP Configuration settings necessary to allow a form to insert data into a MySQL database.
To view this page, http://www.airforcemuseum.com/newentry.htm
<html> <head> <title>Test Form Entry Results</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head>
<body> <h1>Entry Results</h1> <? if (!$firstName || !$lastName) { echo "You have not entered the required details.<br>" ."Please go back and try again."; exit; }
$firstName = addslashes($firstName); $lastName = addslashes($lastName);
$dbcnx = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "username", "password");
if ($db) { echo "ERROR: Could not connect to database. Please try again later,"; exit; } mysql_select_db("testform"); $query = "insert into testform values ('".$firstName."', '".$lastName."')"; $result = mysql_query($query); if ($result) echo mysql_affected_rows()." record inserted into database."; ?> </body> </html>
