That seems to be, what I want _but_ NO PHP is printed after I call this function. I turns out that we haven´t got PHP compiled with imap support and the setup shows no errors as default (never worked with that, it confused me a lot :-)

mb_send_mail() did the trick for me... Somehow there a need for a reference to this function on encoding sites or a search function on specific words (like ISO-8859)

Sorry, meant to reply to list, not just you.
All I'm saying is that Sessions act extremely oddly with
register_globals enabled.
With register_globals on I believe the global variable, acts as a
reference. It's not because it's a string, it's because it's a session
variable, and it needs to keep track of changes to the variable.

I tested Richards reproduce script on php 5.0.3 on a Debian
machine with the following ini settings:
register_globals = Off
register_long_arrays = Off
register_argc_argv = Off
magic_quotes_gpc = Off
magic_quotes_runtime = Off
(i.e. all relevant ini settings are php5 defaults)
and I get the same freakin' references from/in the SESSION array.

I agree with Chris that register_globals can only cause more pain and misery :-/
but in this case the problem exists regardless of register_globals setting.
here is a func I sometimes use when going to war with a register_globals=On server :-)
nothing special and I blagged the idea from somewhere/someone (probably in the
user comments somewhere in the php manual :-/)
function unRegisterGlobals()
{
if (ini_get('register_globals')) {
$SGs = array($_SERVER, $_ENV, $_FILES, $_COOKIE, $_POST, $_GET);
if (isset($_SESSION)) { array_unshift($SGs, $_SESSION); }
// SG == super global
foreach ($SGs as $sg) {
foreach ($sg as $k => $v) { unset($GLOBALS[ $k ]); }
}
ini_set('register_globals', false);
}

Did you download the executable or zip for Windows? The zip file has
many more extensions, and they are located in the extensions folder.
Also make sure you have set the extensions directory correctly in php.ini

Surely it's part of the toolkit - you can filter out people sending
dangerous stuff if they are not that sophisticated. I would never want

It's an interesting point which I will need to investigate further.

Same question was asked yesterday?
$str = "$65,786.00";
if(ereg("^([\$]([0-9]+,)?[0-9]+\.[0-9]+)",$str, $pricetag))
print "we found a price tag: $pricetag[1]";
else
print "no prices found";
This is untested, the ([0-9]+,)? Means that there _may_ be digits and then a komma, but it´s not necessary, threfore $786.00 and $1.00 matches too. The () around all expressions means, that we save whatever is matched into $pricetag

This is a SOAP envelope, so you need to use the many SOAP classes that
are available to parse it.

You have two options, you can either
[a] disable notices (by using error_reporting())
or
[b] verify indices by using functions such as array_key_exists() etc.

Starting at $500. Are you talking about the mac-mini. hahahahaha
What a joke. For OSX on good hardware you are talking $2000 and up.
Plus, you will have to PAY for upgrades in the future. That is why
they call it FeeBSD.
In certain ways OSX/Apple is worse than Microsoft. With Apple you
have proprietary software and HARDWARE.

In opposing the Federalists, [Jefferson] ushered in a
kind of sustained partisan activity that had never existed
before. Initially called the Republican party, it became known
in the era of Andrew Jackson as simply the Democracy;
later on, it was called the Democratic party. But even the modern
Republican party, formed in 1854, chose its name in part to honor
Jefferson. -- Joyce Appleby on Jefferson

I've used Macs for a long time and think it's a great client and OS.
The GUI stuff they have for the server I think is great too. But when
considering the best OS for a server, I would hardly recommend it,
except from an ease of use and setup standpoint. Apple is still coming
up to speed on all the underpinnings, partly because of the changes BSD
is going through (i.e. changing the threading model). Tiger I think
will be a big boost and the planned eventual transition to gcc 4 will
be an even bigger boost.
I read an article recently that compared MySQL and other software
performance on various operating systems, including Windows, Solaris,
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Linux (gentoo). Linux pretty much stole
the show, mainly because of it's threading design. Using Linux threads
on BSD improved performance on BSD systems. While OSX wasn't tested,
you could extrapolate where it might fall in the review since it is
based on BSD.

Hi,

Hello,
I got a bit frustrated with image upload stuff with different image name
problems. So I created a system that gives the uploaded imaged a random
numeric name between 1-10 000 000 and saves the file to a server folder and
the image name to mysql DB.
Is there a so sort of a problem here that I am not thinking of? I only can
imagine problem that the rand() gives the same value twice. But I cant see
this as a major problem because there would be maybe not more than 1000
uploaded pictures. So the chance is at worst something like 1:10 000 that
same name is created to the image.
Anyway if same name is created what's the best way to check that? I was
thinking of putting the image name field in DB as a unique field. That would
do it? Right?
Thanks again

Actually that's only true of the very first image you upload. For
every image uploaded there-after your odds get worse and worse for a
conflict happening.
If you really must use this method please at least do a file_exists()
check first to make sure your random number hasn't been used.
WS> Anyway if same name is created what's the best way to check that?
Depends how you are storing it - if it's in a database then check to
see if that ID is used. If just a plain file, use file_exists.

Yes it would ensure the filename was unique, but unless you actually
need it in a database it's probably not worth the effort. Just check
for the actual file itself.

Append a datetime to the filenames, or use a folder per date?
If want to create a unique filename, and are using PHP4.3.2 or better, use fopen() with the 'x' or 'x+' mode, rather than
file_exists().
Something like the function below,
The filename parameter is passed by reference, so you can retrieve the filename the function actually created.
Returns a FALSE, or a standard file handle which can fwrite() etc.
function createFileWithUniqueName(&$filename)
{
$f = fopen($filename, 'x');
if ($f === FALSE)
{
$pathInfo = pathinfo($filename);
$dirname = $pathInfo['dirname'];
$basename = $pathInfo['basename'];
$extension = $pathInfo['extension'];
if (!empty($dirname))
$dirname .= DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
if (!empty($extension))
{
$extension = '.'.$extension;
$basename = substr($basename, 0, -strlen($extension)); // Remove extension from basename
}
$prefix = $dirname.$basename.'_';
/* Keep trying to create new files ... The $n < 100 is just to prevent any extreme situations happening */
for ($n = 1; $f === FALSE && $n < 100; ++$n)
{
$name = $prefix.$n.$extension;
$f = fopen($name, 'x');
}
if ($f !== FALSE)
$filename = $name;
}
return $f;
}
$basename = 'test.txt';
$n = $basename;
$f = createFileWithUniqueName($n);
if ($f !== FALSE)
{
fwrite($f, 'test '.$n);
fclose($f);
}
$n = $basename;
$f = createFileWithUniqueName($n);
if ($f !== FALSE)
{
fwrite($f, 'test '.$n);
fclose($f);
}

Use to surpress them.
You cannot guarentee the filename you think doesn't exist with the file_exists() doesn't exist when you eventually fopen() it,
otherwise. This problem falls into a category called "Race conditions". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_condition and

Using the original posters method, I agree. But there are plenty of
ways around this without forcing a warning to occur (or having to
suppress one), that avoids any sort of "race condition". It's just the
way the OP is doing it is IMHO messy to begin with, but was obviously a
solution born out of frustration.

Sure, at the base level the issue is simply the uniqueness of the
filename. So there are several options open in this regard. Either use
an md5'd uniqid rand combination (as on the uniqid manual page) and
just go with that, operating under the assumption that the chances of a
conflicting hash are remote at best.
Or another method (which the OP touched upon) would be using some SQL
space and simply getting the next available ID back and using it as
the filename. There are no race conditions here, the ID you will get
is unique to that session. Assuming the site was correctly set-up you
wouldn't then even need to check the file exists, just
move_uploaded_file on it. But for the overly paranoid you could do and
if a file does exist, get another ID. While it involves DB overhead it
ensures relatively bullet-proof uniqueness and no warning generation /
suppression.

I'll take absolutely bullet-proof and handled/supressed warnings, over relatively bullet-proof.

That would be fine if your previous solution was absolutely
bullet-proof, or for that matter provided a solution for the original
problem of renaming uploaded files and keeping them unique. Appending
a datetime to a file, or using a loop that hopes you get a unique name
within 100 iterations is wildly far from "bullet proof" in just about
every respect.

Glad to have helped (though someone else beat me to the punch with the
right answer!)
You'll get the hang of it -- the way I learned is to write out your tag
that you'd like to use like this:
"<a href="$url">text here</a>"
Then go through and escape the characters that need it:
"<a href=\"$url\">text here</a>"
You can place variables into a string, but if you are using a function to
work on that variable, you must concatenate it.
"<a href=\"$url\">" . htmlentities($url) . "</a>"; (needs concatenation)
"<a href=\"$url\">$url</a>"; (no function used, no concatenation
necessary)
Good luck!

Give your cookie an expire time in the past....
setcookie ( $name, "", time() - 3600 );
If you don't give it a time, it will be a 'session' cookie, and will
remain as long as you have your browser window(s) open.

There are schema validation techniques within the DOM extension... those
error messages aren't the greatest, but they're going to improve soon.
If this is a new project / area that you're venturing into (and it
sounds like that's the case) then just wait for the dev team to release
PHP 5.1 (I think this is slated to be fixed in 5.1 anyhow)

Hi,
I got a problem with mail function. I want to know if it's possible to
send a email in php and to get back an acknowledgement of delivery. My
problem is that i want to know if my emails are delivered successfully
to recipients.
Can you please tell how to do this if there is a solution.
thank you in advance,
Marc.

About the only way to do that is to add a Return-Path header to the
e-mail so if it bounces the Return-Path address gets the bounce
message.
There is no way to do it more or less real-time because some SMTP
servers will try to send the message to the recipient for sometimes
five days before generating a bounce.

The mail() function allows you to specify additional headers that go into the
mail. Delivery acknowledgement is done using specific headers, the exact
format of which I don't know off hand. You will have to find the exact
formatting information yourself, however this is the way to go.

This is just an idea I'm (quite unsuccessfully) been working on.
It appears to me that PHP sits between a database and a web browser.
On the database side, something I would love to have is embedded SQL, as it
exists in some other languages such as C (for example, see:
http://www.csee.umbc.edu/help/oracle8/server.815/a68022/sql.htm)
At least, what the minimum I would like is to have the very same variable
types all the way from the database end to the browser end.
Anyway, Embedded SQL is to much to ask. What I was working on, though I got
nowhere due to my lack of experience with Yacc and Lex is to have HTML or
XML directly as part of the language (I will just say XML from now on, to
indicate both HTML and XML) .
You see, both PHP and XML are block structured. Nevertheless, when we
program PHP, we only see one set of blocks, those enclosed by curly
braces{}. Most IDEs even check those for pairing, and we have Code
Beautifiers to indent them properly. The other set of blocks, those
enclosed by XML tags are invisible to the program, though keeping track of
those blocks is just as important.
Moreover, logic indicates that one set of blocks is compatible with the
other. That is, if you are generating an XML block within an if (condition)
block, the XML block has to be closed, you can't just open it and leave it
open. When the if() block closes, the XML block has to as well. Can you
point any case when this might not be so? Don't bother, I can give you
examples myself, but good programming practice can straigten that code out
nicely.
So, this is what I thought. I probably re-invented the wheel and if anybody
can point me to the source, I'll be just as happy.
I would like to see a couple of additions to PHP, which could very well be
implemented as a pre-compiler, in
the form of two new instructions, TAG and ATT which could also be
abbreviated to < and .
The following piece of code show how to use them:
<p {
align 'center';
echo 'este es el texto del párrafo';
}
Which would produce, after precompiled:
echo '<p align="center">este es el texto del párrafo</p>';
Just in case you wonder, yes, the text is in Spanish and it is alread
optimized in the sense that all the literal string segments that could be
strung together has been put in just one string in just a single call to
echo.
So, the TAG or < instruction would be followed by a valid tag name and then
a statement. The statement, as usual, can be replaced by a statement block,
enclosed in curly braces. I don't see any need for the tag name to be
enclosed in any kind of quotes. A variable instead of a literal tag name
should also be valid. Thus:
$p = 'p';
<$p { etc. }
would do the same. This syntax would prevent functions as a source of tag
names, which would be a very rare case and taking it under consideration
would really make the whole thing too cumbersome.
The ATT (attribute) or instruction is to be followed by a valid attribute
name and an expression providing the value. The attribute name can be the
value of a variable, so that
$attribute = 'align';
$attribute 'center';
Once again functions cannot be used.
Why all these?
Basically, I don't want to keep track manually of how my XML blocks are
build.
Even a Code Beautifier would be able to handle the proper nesting of XML
(with these instructions) along PHP. The code would simply look good, and
that means it would be easy to get it right. Actually, while re-writing the
example code below, the brace matching in my IDE caught a missing curly
brace in one <input instruction.
I would also add a declarative statement to handle XML validation. The
declaration would have a reference to a DTD or Schema that describes the XML
to be generated. Optionally, the declaration would also give an xpath
string which would indicate what part of the schema is being validated. This
would allow the declaration to be used in functions or classes where only
fragments of the full schema are being generated.
And, by the by, I wouldn't mind the precompiler to take ? as a synonym for
echo.
Please notice that I am not trying to solve any specific programming
problem, and yes, I could use templates (actually I do) and I could do a
library of functions to echo XML without my actually having to assemble the
XML strings. It doesn't matter how many layers you put in between your
application and your XML strings, in the end, at some point, you have to
echo some XML. It is not a problem I am trying to solve, it is a feature I
would like to see.
Just an example of a more substantial piece of code:
<table {
<tr {
<th {
rowspan 2;
valign "top";
// Here I am using the ? instead of echo
? 'Dirección';
}
<td {
<input {
name 'Direccion1';
size 50;
value $row['Direccion1'];
}
}
}
// notice the use of curly braces is just as optional
// as anywhere else in PGP
// This might be not propper coding practice, but it's up to the coder.
<tr <td <input {
name 'Direccion2';
size 50;
value $row['Direccion2'];
}
<tr {
// Same thing here. There is no need to put curly braces in the TH
and TD tags
// but it is in the previous TR and the following INPUT
<th 'Código Postal';
<td <input {
name 'CodPos';
value $row['CodPos'];
}
}
}
So, this is what I had in mind and, though I tried to get somewhere with
Bison and Flex, the results have not been good, it is way over my abilities.
Thus, I though that someone is sure to know way more than I do and might be
interested.

Hi!
I wish to format the output of a database select.
The result is presented in a table, in which i'd like to present everey
secound row with a different background color.
My idea was to test if the remaining number of rows where a prime number or
not, and by that determent if the background color should be white or som
ivory-like color to improve the readability in the result table...
Hope to hear from anyone with experience in similar matters...
TIA! Georg Herland, Norway

(i.e. is it an odd row or an even row)
hint code:
$i = 1;
// assume $rows is your DB resultset
foreach($rows as $row) {
$bgcolor = ($i % 2) ? '#fff': '#f00';
$i++;
$yourColumns = '';
foreach ($row as $field) {
$yourColumns =. "<td>$field</td>";
}
echo '<tr style="'.$bgcolor.'">',$yourColumns,'<tr>';
}
I really think that prime numbers are not what your looking for....
but maybe you have very specific formatting requirements?!!??

btw there are quite a few javascript libs that do auto coloring of HTML tables
in the way you describe - they are pretty much drag'n'drop scripts - I'll
leave finding them up to you ;-)

Maintain a counter as you display the returned results.
Mod the counter by 2 (rowcounter % 2), set colour according to presence /
absence of a remainder.

Or you could simply test the $color variable to see its contents, and
change it if it's what you expected:
$color = "#FFFFFF";
if($color = "#FFFFFF") {
$color = "#000000";
//output
} else {
$color = "#FFFFFF";
}
There may be something inherently wrong in this approach, but it has
always worked for me. :o)

There is no need to involve a math heavy modulus function just to
alternate row colours! The following single line will do it just as
well, swap the colours for whatever you need and echo them where
required:
$bgcolor = ($bgcolor === '#daf2ff' ? '#c9e1ef' : '#daf2ff');
