Sounds like a problem for the maintainers of the spam blocking software?
You can't correct the problem with the headers if you don't know what the
spam software is objecting to. It may be objecting to the fact that the
source is 127.0.0.1?

Another suggestion is if its an HTML format mail, make sure you use
proper....ie making sure all tags are closed that kind of stuff....some
software will block if the HTML is not well formed

This sounds interesting. Could you elaborate a little more? I mean what
is the "auto prepend" and what is the syntax for the .htaccess? Thanks
very much.

I used to be a big fan of both versions, but honestly, I didn't care,
as long as an app was consistent, so that one could become comfortable
with it over time. The reality is that good editors like BBEdit can
help match braces, highlight code blocks, etc.

But recently, I've changed my tactic to whatever helps the code be as
readable and clear as possible...

$file = 'a'; if(file_exists($file)) { include($file); }
$file = 'b'; if(file_exists($file)) { include($file); }
$file = 'c'; if(file_exists($file)) { include($file); } else {
include('x'); }
$file = 'd'; if(file_exists($file)) { include($file); } else {
include('x'); }
$file = 'e'; if(file_exists($file)) { include($file); }

is a lot clearer,line-efficient and faster to comprehend than...

$file = 'a';
if (file_exists($file)) {
        include($file);
}
$file = 'b';
if (file_exists($file)) {
        include($file);
}
$file = 'c';
if (file_exists($file)) {
        include($file);
} else {
        include('x');
}
$file = 'd';
if (file_exists($file)) {
        include($file);
} else {
        include('x');
}
$file = 'e';
if (file_exists($file)) {
        include($file);
}

Of course, looping through an array of file names would be even
clearer, but you get my point :)

If that was a question, then: No, it shouldn't. Some versions of a certain
browser may have supported this, but it has never been part of any HTML
standard.

Hi!

Since it's almost impossible to find a web server which has freetype

Hi all,
I have a question about PHP in relation with software engineering, and in particular, in order to apply COCOMO metod in a web-oriented software.
I want to do a cost estimation of a software write in PHP-MySQL (and Linux-Apache) for a LAN.
I know the teory about the software enginnering and especially of the model for estimation cost.
I have many books and online materials about this, but in all I haven't table that show the coefficient of LOC/FP or SLOC/UFP (for COCOMOII) of PHP (in these tables there are coefficient for C, C++, Java, Lisp, Basic, ADA, Assembly, but not about PHP or scripting languages).
Anyone know anything about this arguments?
Thanks in advance and regards to all folks.

Hi there, I am wanting to know if there is any good rss builder classes,

Hi!

I am about to write a comment system in PHP, but as i am not any good at PHP
i am seeking some advice.

This is what i want from the system:
* Flexibility! I want to be able to attach it where i want let the user give
comments easily. For example comments could be on a blog entry or on a
downloadable file, whatever i like it to be.
* I will moderate all comments from all "commentpoints" before they are
published.
* Not use a database.

I am wondering what the best approach is?

I thought of this:
Use an object oriented approach, and have a class called CommentSystem.

When i create an instance of the class the "commentpoint" id (some
integer/string) is passed and the comments are read into the object.

After the object creation i can display all comments using something similar
to: aCommantSystem->outputHTML() in my code.

The inner datastructure holding the comments should be an array, perhaps
multidimensional with different data in each column? When a comment is added
using something similar to
aCommantSystem->addComment($username,$comment,$date) the array has one
element appended to it.

Persistent storage of the commentsystem is done through serialize and
unserialize and saved to a file with equal name to the specific
"commentpoint" id.

I will have some way to list all new comments from all commentpoints so that
i can moderate them (accept/refuse) before they are to be viewed in public.
I haven´t thought of some good way to do this though.

Does the above sound like a good solution? Or should i do it in some other
way? All feedback would be appreciated!

FROM:Mr DAVIES HARRIES
bills and exchange director
GUARANTY TRUST BANK PLC
Email:info_metromail2world.com
Fax No:14134519233

Dear Sir,

I am Mr.Davies Harries the bills and exchange director
at the GUARANTY TRUST BANK PLC, I am writing this
letter to solicit for support and assistance from you
to carry out this business opportunity in my
department.
Lying in an inactive account is the sum of
us$34.7million belonging to a foreign customer(mr
James Kelly) who happens to be deceased. he died with
his wife and two children in a plane crash on board an
ADC airline flight at the Egirin river Lagos Nigeria
in november 1997.

Ever since he died the bank has been expecting his
next of kin to come and claim these fund. To this
effect, we can not release the money unless someone
applies for it as next of kin, as indicated in our
banking guideline.
Unfortunately he has no family member in Nigeria or
Over-sea who are aware of the existence of the
money(as he was a contractor with the federal Republic
of Nigeria).

At this juncture i have decided to do business with
you.To this effect I solicit your assistance in
applying as the next of kin then the money will be
released to you. As I do not want this money to go
into the bank treasury as an unclaimed bill.

The banking law and guideline stipulates that if such
money(s) remains unclaimed for a period of up to 8
years(8yrs)the money will be transferred into the
banks treasury as an unclaimed bill.My request for a
foreigner as next of kin is occasioned by the fact
that the customer was a foreigner and a Nigerian
cannot stand as next of kin.

Sir, 20% of the money will be your share as a foreign
partner and your assistance to actualise this
business,5% for any expenses incured. Thereafter i
will visit your country with your help once the money
hits your account for disbursement according to the
percentage indicated.

To effect the immediate transfer of the fund to you as
agreed,you must apply first to the bank as the next
of kin to the deceased,then we will follow up all
formalities for the transaction.

Upon receipt of your reply, i will send to you by fax
or email the text of the application you are to send
to the bank, as soon as you receive the text i will
further clarify you in other issues as to affect the
business.
Awaiting to hear from you.

Best Regards

Davies Harries

Subject: Class Syntax Help or Globals issue

Hi All

I am new to classes and are trying to work out whether
they will make my coding experience easier. I have
written the following test class which is trying to
take three variables from a mssql query and add them
as variables in a new class. This isnt working as i
keep getting an error that says ;

Warning: Missing argument 1 for app() in
/var/www/htdocs/temp3.php on line 13

Warning: Missing argument 2 for app() in
/var/www/htdocs/temp3.php on line 13

Warning: Missing argument 3 for app() in
/var/www/htdocs/temp3.php on line 13

the code .....
//a basic class to store basic appointment details in
class App {

        var $name;
        var $the_date;
        var $result;

        //add values to the variables

        function App($app1name,$appdate,$appresult){
                $this->name=$app1name;
                $this->the_date=$appdate;
                $this->result=$appresult;
        }

}

$query="select app1name,appdate,appresult from
appresult where appdate > 'jun 01 2004'";
$qresult=mssql_query($query,$numero);//get the number
of rows returned
$numrow=mssql_num_rows($qresult);
if($row=mssql_fetch_array($qresult)){
                $i
        do{
                $j=$i;
                $j= new App;
        
$j->App($row[app1name],$row['appdate'],$row['appresult']);
        }
        while($row=mssql_fetch_array($qresult));
}

?>

Is there a syntax problem with the way im trying to
pass the value of the $row array cells into the class
function?

I have looked at the online manual for classes but
find it a bit confusing on how to input and extract
variables data in classes. Any help or pointing in the
direction of some good docs would be greatly
appreciated!

thanks for any help in advance.

This is the function's constructor, it's called when you create a class
instance using "new" operator:

> function App($app1name,$appdate,$appresult){
> $this->name=$app1name;
> $this->the_date=$appdate;
> $this->result=$appresult;

So instead of:

> $j= new App;
>
> $j->App($row[app1name],$row['appdate'],$row['appresult']);

you have to suply the arguments to the contructor this way:

$j= new App($row[app1name],$row['appdate'],$row['appresult']);

Subject: PHP 4.3.7 Released

PHP Development Team is proud to announce the release of PHP 4.3.7.
This is a maintenance release that in addition to several non-critical bug
fixes, addresses an input validation vulnerability in escapeshellcmd() and
escapeshellarg() functions on the Windows platform. Users of PHP on Windows
are encouraged to upgrade to this release as soon as possible.

Aside from the above mentioned issues this release includes the following
important fixes:

Synchronized bundled GD library with GD 2.0.23.
Fixed a bug that prevented compilation of GD extensions against FreeType
2.1.0-2.1.2.
Fixed thread safety issue with informix connection id.
Fixed incorrect resolving of relative paths by glob() in windows.
Fixed mapping of Greek letters to html entities.
Fixed a bug that caused an on shutdown crash when using PHP with Apache
2.0.49.
Fixed a number of crashes inside pgsql, cpdf and gd extensions.

All in all this release fixes over 30 bugs that have been discovered and
resolved since the 4.3.6 release.

Enjoy,

PHP Development Team.
