Subject: [PHP] Minor email problem

hello friends,

I am hosted with an ISP called Apexon. I have written php scripts to send
mail from a webpage. When I send this mail, the from address becomes
abcdeapexon3.abac.com . Their website says that the variable sendmail_from
is meapexon.com . I want to force my own from address in this. I also want
to change the sender's name to my name rather than my website name.

I have tried many ways, but not successful. Can someone help me?

Please help.

Thanks

Hi there, I've been using PHP for about 2 years now and absolutely love
it! Our company uses it as our main development language, so far
though, there is one thing that has been annoying me for a while now..
the following line of code will not work:

$object->function1($parameter)->function2();

I receive a parse error when i try to call another function off of the
object that function1 returns. I know this is possible in java:

object.function1(parameter).function2();

VB:

object.function1(paremeter).function2

and i'm sure C++, although i'm not too familiar with that language.

My question is, will or is there any support for this kind of call in
PHP? or is there another way that i should be doing it? as for now,
here is my work around:

$tmp =& $object->function1($parameter);
$tmp->function2();

Thank you in advance!

-Chris

Why are you opening the file in append mode?

As the manual says: " a+' - Open for reading and writing; place the file
pointer at the end of the file."

Try using 'r+' instead or rewind the file pointer before reading.

What are you trying to accomplish? Do you want to preserve the original filename? Why not give uploaded files uniformly unique names?

In other words, where are the +'s coming from?

So, a little more detail, please!

Does anyone have a PHP script to enter cron jobs? I have a limited control panel (ensim) that doesn't have anyway to do cron, and I don't know how to do it at the command line yet. Anyone have a good tutorial or a PHP script to do this?

The problem is, PHP would have to be running as root. This creates a huge security risk... if I was you, I'd just learn to edit cron jobs at the command line.

Thanks. But I would think if you can run cron jobs as certain users, you could create cron jobs for those users only. I mean, if you can do it with CPanel or these other Control Panels, then why not? It wouldn't have to run as root? I have a good bit to learn about linux. I am new to getting around in ssh.

I am learning from the command line now. It doesn't seem too bad yet. Not sure.

Thanks!

N> Thanks!

If you want to change cron jobs for the web server that is easy just exec('crontab '.$newcronlist) That should replace the current cron jobs with the new ones. If you want to manipulate other users that is a whole new can o worms that is probably full of security issues. Then you would need a root cron job to parse an external file owned by the web server that it queries for any updates that are needed and does them for you.

Hello everybody, I make a function that lets you convert a recordset obtained via mysql_query() into an XML string: maybe could be helpfull to yours

this is the function

it have 3 parameters: $rs is the recordset you want to convert $padre is the name for the parent node that will contain every record on the recordset $hijo is the name for the child node that will contain a single record in the recordset

function rs2xml($rs,$padre,$hijo){ $num_campos=mysql_num_fields($rs); $num_filas=mysql_num_rows($rs);

Personally, I would do it differently, but thats just me... However one modification I would suggest you make:

The Line: $xml.="<".$nombre_campo.">".$valor_campo."</".$nombre_campo.">\n";

would probably be better as this:

$xml.="<".$nombre_campo.">".htmlspecialchars($valor_campo)."</".$nombre_camp o.">\n";

just incase there is an & or a " in the data, and some XML parsers will throw an error saying that the XML file is not well formed.

Assuming that you know which state is selected before you build the select list:

$sel_state = $_REQUEST['state'];

...

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $buyerid = $row['buyerid']; $state = $row['state']; $selected = $state == $sel_state ? "selected=\"selected\"" : "";

$option_block .= "<option value=\"$state\" $selected>". "$state</option>\n"; }

That will put the string "selected=\"selected\"" (xhtml compliant) into the option statement for the state that was selected.

This line:

should probably be:

$selected = (($state == $sel_state) ? "selected=\"selected\"" : "");

I haven't tested this correction, but have had to use the parentheses in my code many times to fix problems with using ? :

Hi,

Using PostgreSql 7.2 + PHP I am trying to do a SELECT that will choose all records except ones that have a certain id number. I can't seem to get the syntax to work.

Here's the code:

"SELECT * FROM rap WHERE NOT rsponsor = '{$_SESSION['sid']}' ORDER by rsname,rfname,rcountry,rcity DESC LIMIT 20";

What I get is all the records including those with '{$_SESSION['sid']}' .

How can I accomplish an exclusion in a table-wide search?

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Tia, Andre

Hi Sean,

Before sending to the list, I had already tried your first suggestion and ended up with only the records that I wanted excluded.

Your second suggestion with "NOT IN" works like a charm. (There wasn't much about 'NOT' in the docs, and I must have missed the 'IN' part.)

Thanks for your help! Regards, Andre

You have pretty much describe Metastorage. It is basically a generator application that lets you model classes of objects that are mapped and stored in relational database database.

You just need to to describe your classes also in a XML file with the class variables, validation rules, relationships between classes and the types of functions that your application needs to manipulate the classes objects.

Metastorage generates all the code for the classes ready to use in your applications. That includes also a separate class with code to install the database schema. The resulting classes API is database independent. This means that you do not need to change your application to use the same classes with different types databases. Many types of databases are supported. Still, you do not need to write absolutely any SQL in anywhere. Metastorage generates adequate code for you where needed.

I do not mean to discourage from continuing your work, but since there is a great deal of overlap between Metastorage and what you have in mind, you are most welcomed at least to eveluate Metastorage if not also contribute in anyway to its development.

Metastorage is Open Source and is avaliable here:

Sounds most interesting (and far more ambicious, than what I had in mind). I'll probably do you wrong by not grasping the full extend of the project, but in short, did I get it right:

I know this probably doesn't grasp the whole scope ;-) But it's a VERY interesting project, and I will have a look into it, that's for sure.

Hello everybody,

I was wondering if someone can tell me how do I XOR a given string with some hash .. like MD5 hash or something. I know how to do this in C - it's more than easy but with PHP I can't find a way at all. Thank you all in advance.

I would like to write a function to check if the contents of a directory, its files, have been changed. The idea is to check the directory every 2 minutes and take some actions if some files were updated or new files added.

Does anyone has any ideas?

I was considering listing the files (name, date modified, size) on a variable array, then list again and compare both arrays. In case there are different, take some action.

Thank you,

C.F.

Hi Carlos,

Directories are just normal files thus they have "Last Modified" and "Last Changed" time stamps. So the quickest and easiest way is to check these times periodically and if any of them has changed then there was some activity other than reading in the directory. You can get the timestamps using stat() function.

Regards,

Peter

Hi Carlos,

I've written a similar script in the past, except mine was to backup files and then automatically restore them if they were accidentally deleted (I had 75 people that had to modify 1 excel document at least once a day).

What I have done is write a script that gets a list of files from the directory using opendir, it then does a md5_file or sha1_file hash on the file and puts it into an array, something like $files[filename] = hash_value, then at the end of the script it serializes the array and writes it to a text file, then it copies the file to a backup location. The next time the script is run it opens the text file with the hashes, opens the directory and checks makes sure each file still exists, if it doesn't it copies it out from the backup location. If the file does exist it updates the hash, copies the file over again because it has changed and ends.

You could store the file hashes in a temporary file, then compare the hashes each time the script is run, if the hashes do not match your file has changed and you should take whatever action you need to take.

Note that sha1_file is only available in PHP 4.3.0 and newer, md5_file will be available in older versions of PHP as well.

Hi there Guys!

I'll start to write an application which will be used to send large amounts of mail to users in a DB. All these mails to be sent shoul be personalized. Since i understand, and please correct me if im wrong, the mail() function is not a good option for this purpose. (the amount of mail to be sent may vary from 50 to 800 messages). I have considered using some masive mail application such majordomo or EZMLM. EZMLM is not easily configurable for sending personalized mail, and majordomo requires sendmail, (i would prefer to use qmail), i know about patches to be done so it works with qmail, but i dont consider them really clean.

What would you guys suggest ?? should i jump into majordomo - sendmail, or do you know something else that might be a better solution.

Thanks a lot in Advance, regards

It is incredibly easy to write a short little php script that edits a template and submits it directly to qmail-inject; if you're using qmail already php mail()/sendmail is just a wrapper to qmail-inject. I use qmail-inject directly because it allows me to write my own VERP and process bounces against the database.

A little Pentium 200 running Linux, MySQL, php4, and qmail with 100 queues can more than saturate a T1 line when used for mailing that way! 800 messages isn't close to being "massive" - that many can be sent in way less than a minute (depending on size, of course - a T1 isn't that big anymore ...).

Trying to get java working so I can make native calls.

I've got php.ini setup and it seems to work (i.e., I can use the online (php.net) example and create a java.lang.System object, and access properties from it).

However, created my own class in a directory I specified in my java.class.path directive and it doesn't seem to work. I get "Document contains no data". I can comment out the method call on $obj and it prints my message, so I can only assume it's creating the object.

However, if I call a method on the object, I get the message. By watching the task bar, I see the "Connecting to localhost..."/"Sending request to localhost" sequence being repeated every 5 secs or so.

Can anyone help me out? I'd really appreciate it. See code below:

$obj = new Java('com.x.reports.Serv');

print $obj->getMsg(); ?>

--- java code stored off of class path in com/x/reports --- package com.x.reports;

class Serv { public String msg = "THIS IS A TEST MESSAGE";

Serv() {

}

public String getMsg() { return this.msg; }

PHP native date functions use integer timestamps for computations. Because of this, dates are restricted to the years 1901-2038 on Unix and 1970-2038 on Windows due to integer overflow for dates beyond those years.

This has been frustrating for me, so i developed this library to overcome these limitation by replacing the native function's signed integers (normally 32-bits) with PHP floating point numbers (normally 64-bits) when necessary. This library supports dates from 100 A.D. to billions of years in the future.

It also fixes the problem of negative timestamps (pre-1970) not supported on Windows.

To use, simply replace

getdate() with adodb_getdate() date() with adodb_date() gmdate() with adodb_gmdate() mktime() with adodb_mktime() gmmktime() with adodb_gmmktime()

This library is available as a standalone PHP file, and you do not have to use the ADOdb database abstraction classes if you do not want to.

Performance

For high speed, this library uses the native date functions where possible, and only switches to PHP code when the dates fall outside the 32-bit signed integer range.

Quality Assurance

For QA, several thousand dates were randomly generated and the results of the adodb_* date functions were compared with the native PHP versions. Years between 100 A.D. and 3000 A.D were also tested. The code is Y2K compliant

hi guys i am trying to create callback error functions handlers , i was wondering if there was a way to get the file and line caught in a error function say with a database abstraction query without having to explicitly put the line and number in the query function , at the moment if i put line and file inside the error handler it will only display where the error was caught inside the handler itself :|
