I'm on about 10 different mailing lists NONE of which completely hide
your address, and I have NO spam that comes in. I handle all my spam
at the MTA rather then the MUA. So all I'm saying is for some spam is
a way of life... it's a necessary evil.... But there are ways to avoid
it.

It almost sounds like this is the first mailing list to which
you've subscribed.
1.) Hit reply-all. It takes a second and isn't a big deal.
2.) Any mailing list in the world that you subscribe to opens you
up to the exact same threats as which you've mentioned here, whether
or not the email address is masked.
3.) A mailing list which masks the email is called an anonymous
distribution list. That means going off-list for non-topic discussion
is a pain in the ass.
It's configured this way for a reason, and I personally don't see
any problem with it.

It's unnecessary, but it's certainly possible. It's all in the
configuration of the mailing list software (mailman, in this case)
itself.
Doing so, however, would cause more problems than gains, and would
certainly piss some people off (myself included).

Sorry, this morning I have gone through everything again, and the
simplified example was wrong, but corrected it gives the right answer,
however although I'm sure I've done the same with the main script I can
not get the correct answer.
I need to round each article seperatly so that the Vat inc prince
remains the same.
So a 10.03 without vat always makes 12.00 with vat.
My test files works as it should :
<?php
$total = 0;
$ht = 10.03;
$vat = 19.6;
$total += sprintf("%0.2f",$ht*($vat/100+1));
print("Total = ".sprintf("%0.2f",$total));
$total += sprintf("%0.2f",$ht*($vat/100+1));
print(" - Total 2 = ".sprintf("%0.2f",$total));
?>
Result : Total : 12 - Total 2 : 24
However the file I'm working on does not :(
The script I'm working on makes use of the fpdf php project which
automaticaly creates PDF files.
Here is the extract of code :
while ( list($code_tva, $articleHT) = each( $px ) )
{
$tva = $tab_tva[$code_tva]; // is 19.6 %
$this->SetXY(15, $y); //sets the coordinates of cell to be created in
PDF file for each item )
$this->Cell( 21.5,4, sprintf("%0.2f", $articleHT),'', '','C' ); //
inserts the item
//=====================>>>>> $totalHT is TOTAL without VAT and
$articleHT is a table which contains the price of each item without tax>>>
$totalHT += $articleHT; //adds all items without vat
//=====================>>>>> $totalTTC is TOTAL with VAT >>>
$totalTTC += sprintf("%0.2f", ($articleHT * ( 1 + $tva/100 ))); // adds
the rounded (item * 1.196) (including vat)
//=====================>>>>> $totalTVA is TOTAL of VAT >>>
$tmp_tva = sprintf("%0.2f",$articleHT * $tva/100); //amount of VAT of
current item
$a_tva[ $code_tva ] = $tmp_tva;
$totalTVA += $tmp_tva; //adds current item's vat to total vat
$this->SetXY(10, $y);
$this->Cell( 5,4, $code_tva, 0,0,"C"); //prints vat option
$this->SetXY(58, $y);
$this->Cell( 21.5,4, sprintf("%0.2f",$tmp_tva),'', '' ,'C'); //prints
the current item's vat amount
$this->SetXY(79.5, $y);
$this->Cell( 21.5,4, sprintf("%0.2f",$tva) ,'', '', 'C'); //prints the
vat percentage for item
$y+=4;
}
$this->SetXY(114,266.4);
$this->Cell(15,4, sprintf("%0.2f", $totalHT), '', '', 'R' ); //prints
the total amount excluding vat
$this->SetXY(114,271.4);
$this->Cell(15,4, sprintf("%0.2f", $totalTVA), '', '', 'R' ); //prints
total amount including vat
This is how I see it :
If I have two different items ($articleHT) at 10.03 this line ($tva =
19.6 and $articleHT = 10.03) :
$totalTTC += sprintf("%0.2f", ($articleHT * ( 1 + $tva/100 )));
Should add 12.00 to $totalTTC However it seems to add 11.99588 to
$totalTTC instead ...
In my test files it does exactly this, any idea why it would not do this
in the real file ?
Thanks again :)

I'm trying to write a template system, my template is the HTML layout, and
my content is fetched from another source. However I don't quite understand
how to output the template so that all the variables are parsed by PHP.
Simple version of what I'm trying to do;
ob_start( );
extract( $params, EXTR_PREFIX_SAME, "am_");
$pageContent = file_get_contents( "page_to_display.html");
include( "template.html");
echo ob_get_clean( );
$pageTitle is in the template, it's replaced, $pageContent is in the
template, it's replaced. But any variables within the page_to_display are
simply output into the page rather than processed by PHP. I realise that
file_get_contents is basically returning a string and I"m just doing string
replacement when I include the template.html, so my only question is, what's
the actual way of doing this?
Thanks

The simples way would be like so:
<?php
// content/page1.php
#
# Define the variables for the content of the page.
#
$page_title = "Welcome To My Website!";
$paragraph_a =<<<EOT
Welcome to my website!
This is a HEREDOC that we'll be using in the template to display some
text, formatted with HTML line breaks and all.
It's that simple!
EOT;
$paragraph_a = nl2br($paragraph_a);
$main_image = "images/main.png";
$main_image_link = "http://www.other-website.tld";
?>
<?
// templates/page1.php
#
# The formatting for the page.
#
/* All of your headers and starting
HTML should be included by your
switching script. This file will also
require that short_open_tags is on.
If you can't/don't want it on, just
modify the tags herein. */
?>
<div>
<?=$paragraph_a;?>
</div>
<div><a href="<?=$main_image_link;?>"><img src="<?=$main_image;?>"
border="0"></a></div>
<? // End of templates/page1.php ?>
<?php
// templates/header.php
#
# A very basic sample header.
#
?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?=$page_title;?></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php // End of templates/header.php ?>
<?php
// templates/footer.php
#
# A very basic sample footer.
#
?>
</body>
</html>
<?php // End of templates/footer.php ?>
<?
// index.php
#
# A simple index switch page.
#
if(isset($_GET['s']) && strlen($_GET['s']) > 1) {
switch($_GET['s']) {
case "page1":
$section = $_GET['s'];
break;
case "contact":
$section = $_GET['s'];
break;
case "about":
// We'll pretend the page name was changed here.
$section = "about_us";
break;
default:
$section = "home";
break;
}
} else {
$section = "home";
}
include('content/'.$section.'.php');
include('templates/header.php');
include('templates/'.$section.'.php');
include('templates/footer.php');
/* This means that the content file with the
variables is parsed first, and defines the
variables within the scope of this execution.
It's included before the header.php file so
that the $page_title variable is defined. */

AFAIK, there is no native port. But why do you want one? -- "wget is
working perfectly so you can use a shell exeute command to do it.
In my experience, there are MANY native PHP implementations which should
be droped because its poor speed and/or quality.
And of course, the code must be maintained twice which is definitivly a
waste of resources.

???
wget http://${USER}:${PASS}some.url.tld/
is working and
wget --http-user="${USER}" --http-passwd="${PASS}" http://some.url.tld/
too. And since it is visible to any users on the local machine which
can excute "ps", you can put the user/passwd into your ~/.wgetrc.

Hi,
I know it is possible to create PDF's and read them within PHP. But I'm
after a method to read a PDF file, analyze it (dump structure or
whatever) and being able to modify it in a valid way.
And with modifying I don't mean just replacing text. I want to be able
to remap layout, change fonts, change standards (if possible, I don't
know). In other words, I want to have full control on the PDF and output
it to my definitions. At least I want to be able to analyze PDF's so
maybe I can built things myself upon the format.
Has anyone seen such a thing for PHP? Or does anybody has a hint how to
start doing it myself (maybe examples in Python or C which can be ported)?
Again, I'm not after PHPLib or FPDF, since these libraries are either
old or insufficient for what I want.
Thanks in advance.

Hey, don't discount old things. :-)
I can do just about anything I want with those old files.

Check your math, Richard. You're using sprintf() with the float
correctly, you're just missing how it's rounding.
(10.03 * 19.6) / 100 = 1.96588 (rounded to 1.97)
((10.03 * 19.6) / 100) * 2 = 3.93176 (rounded to 3.93)
If you want it to come out to an even number with the VAT added,
simply round the amount first, then multiply it.

Newbie Question:
Using let's say, a contacts database table - I would like to get a unique
list of categories for whatever was selected. So, let's say I chose to find
everyone in California - then I would like to create a unique list of
categories (for California) - with no duplicates - (to be used for other
things - like a pull down menu of these very categories).
Q: Is there a way to process the query result to de-duplicate the result
list?
