Hello !
I'm in a mess. Please help me.
Every time I tried to write with fwrite or fputs in a file, I get an error

Whenever you get a segfault, try the latest stable release and during compile be sure to use --enable-debug : http://snaps.php.net/

If the segfault exists here, write a bug report and include the backtrace:

http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php http://bugs.php.net/

This will be of great help to the php-dev team. Also I believe many changes to the Java extension went into 4.3.0 so maybe it'll work for you.

Philip,

Thanks. I did submit a bug report and also compiled with debug. That's where the backtrace captured in my email came from. If you'd like to veiw the bug report, it can be found at: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=21881

I'll try 4.3.0 and see what happens. I was holding back because I use the Zend Debug Server, and it doesn't support 4.3.0 just yet. But, it will soo, so might as well.

Thanks! John

Well, I don't think this has anything to do with predefined variables being global or not because I only have use for them within the specific methods. The methods will capture their values and assign them to a variable inside the function, which will return that variable at the end. The processing of $PHP_SELF and $DOCUMENT_ROOT only happens in one place. I might be wrong, not sure. But right now all I know is that I am confused and the link you sent me didn't help explain what I need to know because it states no mention of predefined variables. Can you perhaps give me an example of what you are trying to tell me?

I read about variable scope and it says nothing about predefined variables. So how will using the $_SERVER associate array help me with this? Remember that globals is on, so I don't need to use $_SERVER, $_POST, $_GET, etc. to get my values. But, in the meantime I'll go ahead and try using the associate autoglobal arrays anyway, like $_SERVER, just to test it and to see if it works for me. And if it does, it'll bug me until I find out why it works. Thanks your input Philip. If anyone else has any thoughts or explainations for me to understad this then that would be great.

Predefined or not, it's still a variable. If you want a variable inside of your function to have the value of a variable outside of your function, then you have to make it global. $PHP_SELF inside of your function has no value because it's relative to the function, not the script. Just like $a inside of a function wouldn't have a value unless you assigned one to it. Using "global $PHP_SELF" at the beginning of your function (or method, same thing) will now make the variable $PHP_SELF have the same value as it does outside of your function. > I read about variable scope and it says nothing about predefined > variables. > So how will using the $_SERVER associate array help me with this?

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] will always work, regardless of variable scope or register_globals setting. The $_SERVER array is a superglobal, so it'll have the same value inside your method or outside of it, without you having to do anything special.

Hope that helps.

John,

YES! That's what I was looking for. Thanks for the explaination. It helps a great deal. I had $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] work for me. But I'm still struggling with $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], because it's not returning anything.

So here's the second part to my question stated earlier. Let's say, for example, I had a class included in someFile.php. The included class looks like the class below:

<?php class someClass {

function someFunction () { $root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; return $root; }

function someFunction2 () { $path = $this->someFunction() . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; return $path; } } ?>

Shouldn't the value of $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] contain the path of someFile.php and not the path of the class file which was included in someFile.php? Or what should this value be? I want the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] value to be /path/someFile.php, or the value of whatever page included this class file and called the methods of the class. How would I do that? Because right now it returns a blank string.

Nevermind John, it worked! I had $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] spelled as $SERVER['PHP_SELF']. I appreciate your help! :P

That number of messages is small and with today's servers you can queue that volume of personalized is less than a minute. Your problems will start as you enter in the tens of thousands of recipients, not because qmail won't handle it but because that many message in the queue will prevent the incoming messages to arrive in time.

Anyway, for that volume of messages you may want to try this class that comes with an example of how to send personalized messages to many users. For larger volumes of recipients you can still use the same class but it will take much more time, so to not choke the mail queue, you would better send the messages during a few minutes and then rest for about 3 times the same period before you resume sending for a few minutes more.

For greater efficiency, if possible do not personalize the message body so you can hint the class to cache it so it does not waste time regenerating the message body for each recipient.

There are two separate processes here - the outgoing connections to the remote SMTP servers and the incoming connections to your own SMTP servers. Tuning qmail involves setting the number of outgoing queues so as not to overload your communications line.

I _personally_ have sent more than 300,000 messages with no "resting" mechanism - doing that means you haven't tuned your qmail system for the load.

The problem does not have to do with SMTP but with qmail local queue handling. If you send messages to many users and the bounce address is set to some address handled by the same server, you will be starting to get bounces to the same machine and thus the same qmail server. The way to solve this is to put the bounce address point to some address that is handled by a different server or even to nowhere. Using a spare server for the actual delivery reduces that problem too.

It has everything to do with qmail local queue handling.

I have had no problems when both the VERP address and sending machine are the same, providing I tune the qmail queues to a reasonable number. VERP is very useful to handle bounces, no separate machines are required, you just have to think about your bandwidth.

The way to solve this is use your intelligence. A stop/start sceme as you originally proposed is a kludge at best to an easily managable problem.

I don't think you are getting the point of stop/start. If you flood the delivery queue with 300,000, no more incoming and outgoing mail will be handled until all the delivery to all recipients that you queued are handled. That may take hours depending on how hard is to deliver to all recipients.

If you have a dedicated server for the bulk delivery, that may not be a problem for, but if you have other types of messages coming and going of the same server, everything will be stalled.

BTW, if you are personalizing the messages, there is no need to user VERP because you are already sending the messages separately and so you may as well personalize the return path address.

I always advise people to not bother personalizing messages for silly purposes like starting messages like this:

Dear <SPAM-VICTIM-NAME-HERE>,

The problem is that this is now a pattern of spam that people are so much used to it that they no longer can be fooled into believing that the messages was really written by a human being to them and not some spam script.

It was told that spam detection programs like SpamAssassin give extra spam points to messages that have phrases like that.

OTOH, there are more reasonable motives to personalize messages like the silly decision of Hotmail to have default spam filter rule to reject messages that do not have a visible To: or Cc: header with the recipient address of the Hotmail account.

The decision is silly because it makes it consider most real opt-in mailing lists like this one, php-general, as spam, which is obviously a big mistake.

Anyway, since most Hotmail users with that filtering rule on are not aware, it makes sense to personalize just the To: header with each recipient address. You do not have to personalize the body though. So, I have just added an option to cache the message body between deliveries of the same message to different recipies using this MIME message composing and sending class. See the personalized bulk mail example for more details:

No, qmail only attempts to send upto a limited number of messages simultaneously which defaults to 20, but if you have good link you can raise it upto 120. Raising it further will not work unless you apply a patch to qmail.

Anyway, the down side of injecting that many messages in qmail queue, either separately or a single message with Bcc:, is that it will choke the incoming message reception because the SMTP server delivers the messages to the local queue too.

There are 2 solutions for this: if you have a spare server machine, use it as relay and configure qmail control value smtproutes pointing to the spare server that will do the actual delivery. If you do not have a spare server, you need to just inject a few messages at a time and rest for a period of time that is enough to let the messages already inthe queue be flushed. Even with a spare server, it is a good idea to rest after delivering a few hundred messages.

If you really want personalization, QMQP is not really useful because it is meant to shift queues of single messages to many recipients. Personalization turns it into many messages to distinct recipients.

That is not a good idea either because you are delisting people that are temporarily bouncing as if their addresses are permanently invalid which is not the case.

Queueing is fast because you are just calling a local program. Unless you are using a spare server for relay, the greatest problem are those addresses that while they are not invalid nor reject messages, they are hard to deliver like those on servers with slow links or those that intentionally put delays that take many tens of seconds to accept the message to make it harder for spammers.

I have a quirky problem that should be a breeze for someone who is smarter than I.

I have a script where I am registering a HTML form post variable as a session variable and then echo it. In the real script I use it in a MySQL query, but for the sake of this post, here is the "script":

$user1 = $HTTP_POST_VARS["user1"]; session_register("user1"); echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["user1"];

This doesn't work, however, if I hit the refresh button the var miraculously appears! What am I doing wrong?

attached mail follows:

This variable is registered in the Session, and the variable isn't active until the page refreshes. It's hard to explain. I thought I would try. There are some things you can do. If you need the variable right away, you can do this: if (isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["user1"])) { $user1 = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["user1"]; } else { $user1 = $HTTP_POST_VARS["user1"]; } echo $user1;

Hope that helps. This is natural for sessions, but I have been in the situation where I needed the session variable right away, instead of the script's next activation.

Why is this so difficult? It should be a basic feature of any international software... or am I missing something?

Hi Marco.

Try the HTTP_USER_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE variable. It simply detects the language of the visitors browser. It wouldnt work for my cause i use an english version of Mozilla (i am dutch too), although 90% of the dutch visitors probably uses MSIE in dutch eh;-)

I'm interested in how most would create a transition page..

I have an upload process that takes a bit before it changes the page displayed on the browser. I would like to create a transition page [Uploading Now .. please standby] that would refresh to a result page once the upload is done. Now I've seen this done on other sites (loading pages) and I'm sure there are many ways to do this, just looking for methods and pro/cons to the various approaches.

One thing you might consider is using flush() to output what you have so far to the browser rather than sending them to another page when you're done. An example of something to output might be:

This might take a while... <? flush() do_hard_stuff(); ?> Finished!

If you are using output buffering, you'll have to flush that, too. If your Web server is doing any kind of buffering, it might not work at all.

Hello Lee :)

Well, there is one way that I know of that some people might overlook. What you can do is use CSS positioning and set the "Uploading Now" message (Whether it's text, an image, a flash file, etc.) BEHIND the result page by setting the z-index value of the "Uploading Now" message to a lower number than the z-index of the result page.

So what happens in this case is that the user will see the "Uploading Now" message until the other page or image loads, which will automatically load on top of the message, therefore hiding it once it's loaded. This works great with images especially. You may need to use some positioning creativity to do the same with the html pages, as you have to find a way to be able to hide the transition message (by another image, a colored table, or just about anything else.

The good thing about this method is that you never need to create an extra file just to display the message. You can use it in the same file. Or if you have to use it on many pages, just include it from an include file or a function or something. Lots of room for creativity here.

Anyway, that's how I would do it. I'm sure there are many other great ways. But there's my input. Hope it helps you a little.

The problem I'm having is that the uploading of the file takes time, and the screen simply sits there while this is being done .. I don't know if there is a way around that. Flush would be fine if it could be done before the upload started; problem is, hitting submit starts the upload process which waits until it's done before receiving instructions included in the upload processing script.

Could you be more specific and send some code you are using (even if it doesn't work). It may give some insight as to your specific need.

That said, as far as I can tell, what you are trying to accomplish is this:

$sql = "UPDATE tablename SET 1column = '$newvariable' WHERE 1column = '$oldvariable'";

This will effectively update any number of rows that match the criteria.

Maybe you are trying to update rows where 1column values don't match? If so, you may need to run multiple queries.

It's late and I'm guessing. Good Luck!

It can be done with ASP and JSP. ROFLMFAO! No it shouldn't be reported to their bugs database! It's not a bug! It just isn't a feature of PHP! You could suggest it to them though...

I am attempting to create an extension to php.. The only problem is, whenever I run buildconf after creating a skeletion with

./ext_skel --extname=my_module

I receive the following output from buildconf

./buildconf using default Zend directory buildconf: checking installation... buildconf: autoconf version 2.13 (ok) buildconf: automake version 1.4-p5 (ok) buildconf: libtool version 1.4.2 (ok) rebuilding configure configure.in:562: AC_TRY_COMPILE was called before AC_AIX configure.in:562: AC_TRY_RUN was called before AC_AIX configure.in:562: AC_TRY_COMPILE was called before AC_AIX configure.in:562: AC_TRY_RUN was called before AC_AIX autoconf: Undefined macros: ***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_ACVERSION ***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_TRY_DLOPEN_SELF ***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_TRY_DLOPEN_SELF ***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_TRY_DLOPEN_SELF ***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_TRY_DLOPEN_SELF ***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_TRY_DLOPEN_SELF ***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_TRY_DLOPEN_SELF ***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_TRY_DLOPEN_SELF ***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_TRY_DLOPEN_SELF rebuilding main/php_config.h.in configure.in:562: AC_TRY_COMPILE was called before AC_AIX configure.in:562: AC_TRY_RUN was called before AC_AIX configure.in:562: AC_TRY_COMPILE was called before AC_AIX configure.in:562: AC_TRY_RUN was called before AC_AIX

Then, when I run ./configure I receive a syntax error part way through.. My autoconf was 2.53 and got upgraded to 2.57 in case that was the problem...

help!

Josh.
