Hi,

I am sending emails out from php using a variety of 'From addresses',
depending on who is logged on. I would like bounced messages to go directly
to the sender, but they are not. I suspect that this is because in php.ini,
I have to set the 'sendmail_from' to a specific address.

Can anyone suggest an alternative, other than switching platforms?

Yes?

What is the point of taking this attitude with a poster who (I'm guessing
from his name) is a non-native English speaker? He asks a perfectly polite,
intelligible and on-topic question. Even if he isn't a good proportion of
posters are non-native speakers, and I imagine they find this kind of thing
a little intimidating.

One strange thing I notice about this list: even the most off-topic and
misguided question (like how can I clear a user's browser cache with PHP,
how do I set up a mailserver) gets a few intemperate answers and then
(perhaps because people's attention is drawn to it) a series of useful
answers. This encourages posters to come back and ask again, as they keep
getting answers. A well-formulated question, on the other hand, will
sometimes just be ignored, perhaps because it is buried in the general
traffic. Witness the recent post by Richard Lynch on "True Upload Max
Filesize", for example.

From your name I would say you are german speaking, so i would suggest
the error_handler example from the book

        Professionelle PHP 5-Programmmierung
        Entwicklerleitfaden für große Webprojekte mit PHP 5
        von George Schlossnagle

        erschienen in der Open-Source-Library des Addison-Wesley Verlag
        ISBN: 3-8273-2198-0

Examples to this book [1] can be found under [2], the example to your
special problem would be example 3-1.

I'm sorry for writing german, but since it's a german book, i wrote all
the facts about the book in german.

bar 1. namely the problem of not upgrading to recent version of php (i.e.
something beginning with 5 ;-) because 'my code will break'.

I don't think upgrading and then turning on the ini setting is a good idea...
the legacy app is a problem by definition because it uses register globals, but
that doesn't mean one has to keep that door open for new apps, besides changing
ini settings, at least having an app rely on the changes, from the default leads
to less portable code.

true. I was just pointing out how easy it is to 'fake' register_globals
personally all my code currently runs this on init - because I don't
like reg.globals at all:

function unRegisterGlobals()
{
     if (ini_get('register_globals')) {
         $SGs = array($_SERVER, $_ENV, $_FILES, $_COOKIE, $_POST, $_GET);
         if (isset($_SESSION)) { array_unshift($SGs, $_SESSION); }

         foreach ($SGs as $sg) {
             foreach ($superglobal as $k => $v) { unset($GLOBALS[ $k ]); }
         }

ini_set('register_globals', false);
}
}

I had to read your post twice to understand to which _he_ you are
referring. Then I reread the subject (You are the OP, Jochem, right?)

Hello to all,

I want to use the PEAR-package Log (now on 4.3.10).
I just have a few lines of code, copied from the documentation.
And always, that means with every logger I tried, get "Call to undefined
function"-errors.
I can't see what ist that wrong.
Has anybody else an idea?

I just installed the package like I did with Mail_Queue and
Text_Password which worked fine.

Here is my code:

$conf = array('title' => 'Sample Log Output');
$logger = &Log::singleton('win', 'LogWindow', 'ident', $conf);
</script>

--> Fatal error: Call to undefined function: upto() in
/mypearpath/PEAR/Log/win.php on line 78

The same with display.

With the file-logger, I can instantiate it, but get a undefined function
later.
<script>
$opts = array( 'append' => true,
              'lineFormat' => '%{ident}; %{timestamp}; %{priority};
%{message}',
              'timeFormat' => '%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%s'
            );

$logger = &LOG::factory('file', './../files/logtest.txt', 'wat dat?');
$logger->open();
$res = $logger->getMask();
</script>

-->Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getmask() in
/myscriptpath/logger.php on line 48

Thank you very much in advance

Yes, I suppose your are correct. His english was remarkably well written
so I did not suspect that he was foreign and I didn't even look at the
e-mail address for the reply.

The point is this, as more and more folks take to mailing lists such as
this there are good practices and bad practices. We all need to learn
good practices, like avoiding top-posting.

You have exercized your right to point out what may be a bad practice,
me answering the OP in a sarcastic tone is a bad thing. You taking me on
for same is a bad thing, especially when you do not mark the subject as
now being off topic, such as I have done. How long have you been mailing
to mailing lists?

I suppose that the good old days are long gone. The ones where newbies
were whipped into shape with just a few keystrokes. I guess we need to
be more politically correct and sensitive to the needs of others now. In
the spirit of this I will refrain from answering the "is it possible"
questions. Heck I may not answer any others either as my old school
cumrudgeonly attitude may be too much for others, especially those folks
who do not hail from english speaking countries.

My apologies to any and all who were offended by my curt response.

Why not set a cookie? Now, we all know that users can delete
cookies...but they typically do not do so. You could also make them
register to be able to vote. That way they have to login before they
vote and the vote would be tracked by username. They could register
multiple names, but again they are not likely to do so.

attached mail follows:

I'm going to agree with Jay... most users are lazy enough that if you
just require them to have a user account then that will suffice.
Since this is only for a joke site that would be my suggestion as
well. However, if you really, really wanted to identify remote
*computers* then you can try tracking the clock skew of the client
which is making that request. If you're interested then google for
"clock skew tracking" and you should get some hits.

From slashdot.org (1):

* Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when
you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
* Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd
strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
* This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot
stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do
anything important, you're insane.

Ashley,

If you use a naming convention for the files in /gallery/ that coincides
with the artistic order in which they are to be displayed, then Greg's
simple (yet elegant, and expertly coded) directory listing method would work
like a charm.

Say your files are named like this:

100.jpg // 1st file to be displayed
200.jpg // 2nd file...
300.jpg // 3rd file...
...

Using Greg's code, you could pull the enitire directory into an array:

$a = array();
$d = dir( '.' );
while( false !== ( $e = $d->read() ) )
{
$a[] = $e;
}
$d->close();

Since you now know which picture you are currently displaying, you can get
the previous and next pictures from the array and code your "Next" and
"Previous" buttons. If the pic you are displaying happens to be the first
or last in the array, don't display the corresponding link.

Of course, this all depends on your naming convention agreeing with your
display order.

Unfortunately, they're not. This might work for the first
incarnation of the gallery, but as soon as they start removing and
adding images, that numbered order goes to hell in a hand basket.
Imaging if they deleted #5 and in its place they want to add 4 new
images. Not going to work. No, the images are all named by the picture
name, such_n_such_mountain, this_beach, small_flower, blah, blah, blah.

the question was VAGUE ... this is IT not sociology ...
questions that start 'is it possible' are pretty much asking for a 'yes.'
or a 'maybe.'

if the OP takes the hint and develops his ability to succinctly ask questions
(one that don't implicitly ask someone else to provide a complete solution to
a very general problem!!) then everyone benefits - him most of all.

besides getting the equivelant of a RTFM is kinding telling the OP, your
not a total noob anymore, time to fend for yourself - he could take it as a compliment ;-).

I know people who find it intimidating to sit in a room alone or go to
the supermarket. feeling intimidated is a state of mind but not anyone's
intention here (AFAICT)

the guy is german - most germans speak/write better english people do.
just like they build better cars. ;-) so no pity for [male] germans. :-P

keep wipin' Jay! - they love you for it in the end :-) besides there is lots
of work to do if we want to drag the masses forward (e.g. praise the day that
there will be no more questions regarding register_globals!)

Here is part of my php.ini file:

In your file where you browse for files to upload does it look like
this?

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="__URL__" method="POST">
    
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />
    
    Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" />
    <input type="submit" value="Send File" />
</form>

Sure, it looks:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="post">
                <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE"
value="1000000000" />
                <input type="file" name="f" size="30" /><br>
                <input type="submit" name="Send">

all works great, to 160 MB, larger files are uploaded but php script not

executed. Hmm.

Then can you send us the code from the processing script? That way we
may see where it fails.

The code is pretty simple, i do not think, problem is bad syntax, as I
said, everything works fine, when files are smaller then 160 MB. Larger
files = blank page.

<?php

if(isset($_FILES['f']))
{
     copy ($_FILES['f']['tmp_name'], "Uploaded filez/" .
$_FILES['f']['name'])
     or die ('Could not upload');
     echo "File: " . $_FILES['f']['name']. " uploaded!";
     echo "<p><a href='./index.html'>Back to upload</a>";
}
else
echo "Go away!";
?>
[/snip]

You need to read the manual on file uploads and use move_uploaded_file()
instead of copy... http://www.php.net/move_uploaded_file

But in perl type regex's, the \s is a space. Without testing it, I
don't think \\s would match what the OP was looking for (I *think* it
would match '\s'). However, I don't understand why the OP is looking
for a space " ", followed by a space "\s", followed by multiple spaces
"\s+"....a \s{1,} would have done all that just fine.

You'll probably need to assemble that expression first. The regex may
be seeing the dollar sign for your variable as an end of line delimiter.

$match = "/Charges\s{1,}" . $total . "\sx\s(.*)\s/siU";
preg_match_all ( $match, $single, $from_invoice );

But in double quotes, \ is seen as an escape, and could be interpreted
differently. Probably the better way to do this would be:

$pattern = '/Charges\s+' . $total . ' x ([^\s]*)/si';
preg_match_all($pattern, $single, $from_invoice);

That depends on your needs. Does Apache2 provide you with some
feature/functionality that Apache 1.3 does not?

No, there are no newlines at the end of any files. The problem was a new
behavior of system() in PHP5:

"The system() call also tries to automatically flush the web server's
output buffer after each line of output if PHP is running as a server
module."

Obviously system() in PHP5 tries to flush, but because it's wrapped in
ob_start() end ob_end_clean(), it's doesn't actually do. Unfortunately
an interal flag in PHP is set to "output has been sent" anyway (bug?). I
first changed it to passthru() instead of system(), but maybe I should
use shell_exec() in the future.

No. The exception is not being caught and is propagating all the way up.
Then it is displayed on the webpage along with the call stack. The problem
is that a lot of the text is cut short so it will fit on the webpage
without word wrapping.

Hi:

I had the fallowing trouble while using a static method call on php5. Here's
my solution, i will really apreciate if anyone else can find another way
around..

The problem:

I have a fuction wich get a parameter that's an objetc, and that objetc
belongs to a class wich has a static method ( several class's may have the
same method, that's the reason for i never know for sure wich class the
objetc belongs to...) it has to be call inside the fuction... the solution i
found was:

<?
class Class1 {
static function do_static() { echo 'ok'; }
}

function use_static($object1) {
$class1 = get_class($object1);
$method = new ReflectionMethod($class1, 'do_static');
$method->invoke(null);
// First, I thinks do that
// $class1 = get_class($object1);
// $class1::do_static;
// But, I recieve an error

}

$object1 = new Class1;
use_static($object1);

how about using:

Yo,

All you need is the mktime() command.

do something like:
$futureDate = date("Y-m-d", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $today+
$daysToAdd, $year));

Jordan

http://www.php.net/mktime
mktime() is useful for doing date arithmetic and validation, as it
will automatically calculate the correct value for out-of-range
input. For example, each of the following lines produces the string
"Jan-01-1998".

<?php
echo date("M-d-Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 32, 1997));
echo date("M-d-Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 13, 1, 1997));
echo date("M-d-Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1998));
echo date("M-d-Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 98));
?>

All fine and dandy... but he said WEEKDAYS, so adding 5 days to a given
day must non deduct from the 5 days when a weekend day is passed. This
kind of calculation is useful for banks and other businesses that only
process transactions on business days (which happen to be weekdays).

Easy enough to change that date(...mktime(...)) command above to return
the weekday and while the weekday is a weekend just add a day and repeat.

that would give you the next monday.

Holidays are another matter though, but that could be worked around as
well via a lookup table...

Well of course.. I already posted a full solution last night :) One
using the technique you describe above, which is a bad solution since it
requires the loop to run once for each day to add, and then another
solution which divides the problem into two subproblems which is MUCH
faster on larger sets of days to add.

Cheers,
Rob.

Actually sorry to post again on the same post, but this is like the
first solution posted and is invalid since it doesn't account for
non-weekdays that fall within the range. It only checks the endpoints of
the addition. For instance adding 50 days would contain about 20 or so
weekend days.

Ah... but you are forgetting the rule I live by... anything that happened
more than a week ago or is happening more than a week in the future...
doesn't count, I don't remember, and I can't be held responsible for.

good catch though.

I've been working on a script for uploading a file to a Unix server. I'm testing the script and have it coded for error messages using a switch statement. One error that I am getting is case 2 "The file is bigger than this form allows" and I am wondering what might cause me to get the error for case 1 "The file is bigger than this PHP installation allows".

Thank you,
Althea

In your php.ini there are settings for "upload_max_filesize" and also
"post_max_size." These would be causes for case 2. More information:

Steve,

Thanks a bunch. Must have been "dead brain" today. I knew that as well as
could look it up using phpinfo().

You are talking about a few issues.

1. turn on / uncomment the extensions in the php.ini (use phpinfo.php
to figure out which php.ini you are using)

2. 404 means the requested doc or url is wrong or doesnt exist. this
isnt your webserver or php's fault. fix the url.

3. make sure you tell IIS to use the php.exe for all .php scripts

after you make changes restart iis. btw apache works fine in this
scenario too. if the extensions still dont work then look for the
dll's make sure they are even installed for php/webserver to use
