Hi Travis,
I totally agree with you. I'm coding this way:
if (foo)
{
// code
}
elseif (bar)
{
// code
}
else {
// code
}
This makes it very easy to follow if/elseif/else structures in code. But the
PEAR style is the one usually used in Java as well so I guess it's the style
most people use.

No errors are generated back to me, but the messages aren't going through.
I can't see the smtp server logs, so I don't know what's failing.
Well, there might be errors that you aren't seeing. I have modified
your code, run it and see if you get any new information :
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
require_once('Mail.php');
$recipients = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$headers['From'] = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$headers['To'] = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$headers['Subject'] = 'Test message';
$body = 'Test message';
$params['host'] = 'smtpserver.princeton.edu';
$params['auth'] = TRUE;
$params['username'] = 'cjm';
$params['password'] = 'mypass';
$params['port'] = '25';
$mail_object =& Mail::factory('smtp', $params);
if (PEAR::isError($mail_object)) { die($mail_object->getMessage()); }
$mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail_object)) { die($mail_object->getMessage()); }

Check if the DocumentRoot is right in your httpd.conf - it should be
the same as the location where phpinfo.php is located.

Hi, we have a few projects which requires suitable people to provide coding
work for PHP/MySQL and HTML. If you are interested, please email me so that
I can provide you with more info.
FYI, system analysis and design is completed. Only require development work.
Thanks!

PHP is installed without openssl here at pair. I want to make a socket call
to port 443 on a server and I'm getting an error from fsocketopen() that no
ssl support is built in, of course. I thought that using "ssl://" might work
around this, but I guess not. Any ideas for me?
$host = "my.host.com";
$port = 443;
$path = "/my/app/path";
$request = urlencode('my xml request');
$fp = fsockopen("ssl://".$host, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout = 30);
if(!$fp){
//error tell us
echo "$errstr ($errno)\n";
}else{
//send the server request
fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($request)."\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
fputs($fp, $request . "\r\n\r\n");
//loop through the response from the server
while(!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp, 4096);
}
//close fp - we are done with it
fclose($fp);
}
Thanks in advance.

I tried this HTML:

so I did a google search and changed my HTML to:

Now the code:
for ($i = 0; $i < count($_REQUEST['deleteID']); $i++){

has the right count but how do I get the values out?

Change $_REQUEST to $_POST (a little more secure).
foreach( $deleteID as $key => $value) {
echo 'deleting ' . $value . '<br />' ;

$_POST['deleteID'][0] will be the first checked checkbox value,
$_POST['deleteID'][1] will be the second, etc. count($_POST['deleteID'])
will tell you how many were checked, implode(',',$_POST['deleteID'])
will give you a comma separated list, etc, etc...

I usually use this approach:

.
.
<INPUT NAME="myName[N]" VALUE="CHECKED" TYPE="CHECKBOX">

foreach($_REQUEST['myName'] as $id => $value)

I'm working with a host on a Linux box with PHP 4.2.2. The version of GD
Library they have is 1.8.4. I was uploading some pictures using a script
that leveraged GD Library 2+. Using the php version with the newer GD
library seemed to produce a better quality image. I have two questions:
1 - Can a newer version of GD Library (1.8.4 vs 2+) make a difference in
image quality?
2 - I'd like to upgrade the Linux box that has PHP 4.2.2 and GD Library
1.8.4 to the most recent version. Is this easy? Any guidance? Do I need a
patch?
PS - I've been working off of this site: http://www.boutell.com/gd but
wanted to bounce this around with some experts first.

I gave it a go, and I got the error:
"Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}'"
This was on the last "}". Now I am brand new at php, but should there
not be an opening and closing curly bracket? in this code there are one
"{" and three "}"
So I made my code:
<?php
if ($handle = opendir('../../../mov')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
$fileName = str_replace('.mov', '', $file);
echo '<option value="' . $file . '">' . $fileName .
'</option>';
closedir($handle);
}
?>
And it does display the name in the menu... so that is a good start,
but the link doesn't work when selected. So I am assuming hte code does
need those brackets, and I rather need to open the opening one...

news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi there....
What I am hoping to do is have a drop down menu that would be
populated
from the contents of a directory via php. Now The link names would be
generated by the file name minus the file extension. Has anyone seen a
tutorial on accomplishing something like this? All of the links would
be to quicktime movies, but I am hoping to have them embedded in HTML
(or PHP)..... So the movie is displayed in a browser....
thanks in advance!
This should do the trick:
// opening select tag goes here...
if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
$fileName = str_replace('.mov', '', $file);
echo '<option value="' . $file . '">' . $fileName .
'</option>';
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
// closing select tag goes here
Haven't tested it. Hope it works and helps ;)

With the SELECT drop down, you'd need a submit button, and then the value of $file
would be passed to the next page and read. There you
could open that file.

Sorry there are some braces missing. Please try this:
if ($handle = opendir('../../../mov')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
$fileName = str_replace('.mov', '', $file);
echo '<option value="' . $file . '">' . $fileName . '</option>';
}
}
closedir($handle);
}

ok, I added brackets and made my code to:
<?php
if ($handle = opendir('../../../mov')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
$fileName = str_replace('.mov', '', $file);
echo '<option value="../../../mov/' . $file . '">' .
$fileName . '</option>';
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>
when viewing my page in a browser, it worked! Now what I am hoping to
do is put this menu on a PHP page, and have a qt movie placeholder and
when this menu is used - replace the placeholder with the selected qt
movie... I am just not sure how to do this.
Thanks in advance!

And it does display the name in the menu... so that is a good start,
but the link doesn't work when selected. So I am assuming hte code
does need those brackets, and I rather need to open the opening one...

Hi there....
What I am hoping to do is have a drop down menu that would be
populated
from the contents of a directory via php. Now The link names would be
generated by the file name minus the file extension. Has anyone seen
a
tutorial on accomplishing something like this? All of the links would
be to quicktime movies, but I am hoping to have them embedded in HTML
(or PHP)..... So the movie is displayed in a browser....
thanks in advance!
This should do the trick:
// opening select tag goes here...
if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
$fileName = str_replace('.mov', '', $file);
echo '<option value="' . $file . '">' . $fileName .
'</option>';
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
// closing select tag goes here
Haven't tested it. Hope it works and helps ;)
Regards,
Torsten Roehr

This should be easy. Please post your QT placeholder (HTML) code. Then we
can help.

Hi there,
I am trying to prevent hotlinking of images by other servers.
Pictures are generated on the fly by a php script, where I have included this
code to prevent hot linking:
$haystack = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$needle = 'globosapiens';
$pos = strpos($haystack, $needle);
if ($pos === false) { // not from globosapiens
HEADER("Location:/g/p/2/hotlink_banner.gif");
exit;
}
It workes, but not for everybody. Some user tell me that they see the
hotlink_banner.gif on my website as well. How is this possible?
Has anybody an idea on where the error is, and how to fix it?`
Thank you in advance,
Merlin

Many personal firewall softwares remove the referer header.
The solution is simple, don't check the referer if it's blank.

HTTP_REFERER is not a reliable value. It is set by the client and some
clients and/or proxies will either not set it or clear it's value.
You'd be best to handle this at the web server level. You could use
sessions, too, and set a session variable on one of the pages leading
into your gallery and then check for that variable when they request
images. It can be spoofed (like any other solution), but it would take
some work.

What would be the easiest way to open a text file, remove a line if the line
begins with a word from an array of words (there are 5 words I will be
looking for) then write that back to the text file with everything removed
Thanks

<?php
$lookfor = array('one','two','three','four','five');
$pattern = implode('|',$lookfor);
$filedata = file('yourfile.txt');
foreach($filedata as $key => $line)
{
if(preg_match("/^($pattern)/i",$line))
{ unset($filedata[$key]); }
}
$newfiledata = implode("\n",$filedata);
$fp = fopen('yourfile.txt','w');
fwrite($fp,$newfiledata);
fclose($fp);
?>
Untested, but something like that. Read file into an array, loop through
each line trying to match word at beginning. If there's a match, remove
line, then write new data at the end.

i am wondering if there is a good way to trigger a php script from a web
page *without* sending the user to a new page or opening a new browser
windows.
for instance, suppose you wanted to make a button/link on a web page
that, when clicked, would cause a database entry to be decremented.
however, you do not want to refresh the page or open a popup window or
any stinky little tricks like that.
Use a virtual include to call the php script.
I like to use dummy image files for this purpose and a little bit of
javascript to change the image src. On page load, a simple spacer.gif is
loaded. If a particular link or button is clicked, I'll replace the image
src with, for example,
dosomething.php?action=changeit&value=newvalue.
dosomething.php performs the required functions and simply returns a blank
gif image as output.
The result is that your script is executed and the page doesn't have to reload.
This method can also be used with "real" images. I use it with a file cart
on my site as well, only this time, the first image loaded is
"cart_add.gif" and when they click it, it calls the script to add the file
to their cart and that script returns "cart_remove.gif"
I wouldn't suggest using this in mission critical settings, unless you plan
on making sure the user has javascript turned on, but on a hobby site it
works well.
or, if this is not possible, does anyone know how to trigger a php
script when someone accesses a particular file from an apache server? or
if a file from a particular directory is downloaded...
I don't think you can do that unless the php script is used to access the
file or perform the download you speak of.
I also use this method to count downloads. php script fetches the actual
file and serves it up, at the same time incrementing the download count.
This is also handy, as you can prevent people from getting to the actual
files by placing them in a directory outside the webroot.
cheers,
Travis

Hey All,
I know I asked this before a couple of weeks ago, but I need a good swift
kick in the right direction :D
I need to know how to do a text stream in PHP.
I have tried the following:
while loop with flush and sleep functions
HTTP/1.1 Connection: Stream (seems to work in the above while loop until you
post something then its like it stalls completely)
Are there any other ways?
I was looking at GTChat lastnight and it mentioned about sending a file
"line by line" to achieve a server push like effect....anyone know how to do
this?
Only way I will consider Java is if it will stream a HTML page and someone
can point me in a direction to grab one
Any help in the above questions would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure output buffering is off... you may also need to pad output
since if I remember correctly some browsers do their own buffering (IE I
think).

Hi List,
Sorry for this question being slightly OT but its is to due with my Php
script in a way.
MySql has stopped adding rows since the db table hit 1mb...

Running FreeBSD 4.7 and MySql 3.23.58 if that helps
Thank you in advance for any help or guidance and once again sorry for being

Hey
what would the syntax look like if I was receiving an array from flash. Assume
that it is inside a class with a proper contructor
class receiveRemoting{
function receiveRemoting{
//ALL THE CONFIG STUFF
}
function receiveArrayFromFlash($arrayFromFlash){
//THIS IS WHERE I NEED HELP
}
}
I am not sure that whould got inside receiveArrayFromFlash() so I cound
manipulate the array values.
You can assume that they all will be strings integer ordered
TIA
