Hate to say it but this is another step in the wrong direction. Base64
encoding makes the data about 30% bigger not to mention the associated
overheadds of encoding and decoding.

I have read it, and am very familiar with it.
Every time there is a post about mail() and the person is
unfamiliar with properly sending SMTP headers or data to sendmail,
You *claim* its a bug with php's mail() call without knowing
what version of php they are using. You never ask if they are using
windows which uses php's built in sendmail tool. Nor do you never
ask what MTA that sendmail is really representing.
My reponses to you're email's are not targeted against you, but
simply correcting the facts as of current.
As far as what filtering is going on, please enlighten me, this is
the logic of the mail function:
trim leading space and make To: rfc822 compliant
trim leading space and make Subject: rfc822 compliant
open pipe to sendmail
send the To: address
send the Subject:
if headers was sepecified, send those as well
send the message.
close the pipe to sendmail.
Now I do wonder where in the world filtering is going on there.

The only time you should pass by reference is when you plan on
modifiying that variable and the caller is going to get a modified
version back:
function foo(&$modify_me) {
$modify_me = 'another value';
}
foo($var);
// var contains now 'another value'
Otherwise, always declare your functions as normal variables.
Or for your example, you provided, that would mean that in your
original code you had called your functions as:
add(&5, &10);
Which is obviosly wrong, so going that route wont really work.
If you're concerned about memory usage, like why do I need to
duplicate memory if I'm just passing variables that will just
simply be read. Well, PHP takes that pretty much into
consideration. And the only time a duplicate is created is when you
modify the variable.
If for example you have:
$var = 'a really long string....';
And you assign that variable to something else:
$var2 = $var;
PHP doesn't allocate all the memory of var for that var2 until
you try to modify the $var2. So not until you do something like:
$var2 .= 'some more text';
PHP then will make a copy of the original $var, and then make
modifications.
The same principle applies to function parameters.

No idea why it doesn't like your From header. Try setting
sendmail_from in the php.ini. You could also try a mailing library,
such as:

sendmail_from is required to be filled out. You need to specify in
your ini a valid sendmail_from, or use ini_set('sendmail_from',
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]') before your call your mail() function

I'm having trouble getting it working. I downloaded the July .ZIP file and

have this working?
I have some success with PHPEclipse on Windows, even with PHP5, but it
is still work in progress, so some niggles are to be expected.
That said, the more people who try it out and identify problems, the
quicker it will become more stable ?
As David has said, a rogue zip did get out, and that seems to be still
accessible on some mirrors, so the next snapshot could be worth waiting for.

Is the RedHat Network Up2Date really only on version 4.3.2 of PHP? If so,
any idea why they're so far behind? Any idea of when it will be brought
current?
I have an ISP telling me that the security of their systems rely entirely on
the RedHat Network. They acknowledge that RedHat's behind and that their
security is compromised. It's silly, but they seem to just sit there
blaming RedHat rather than doing anything to protect their customers.

RedHat usually backports majority security fixes to their currently supported
distribution(s). Anyway questions such as these ought to be asked on a RedHat
list.
If you want the latest PHP then compile your own and don't use RedHat's.

PHP and MySQL Web Development by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson has
always been my favorite.
http://www.samspublishing.com/title/067232525X
That's the 2nd edition (3rd is coming out in October). I have the 1st
edition, I would assume the 2nd and 3rd would be just as well written.

I agree that PHP & MySQL Web Development (By Luke Welling and Laura
Thompson) is a great resource for learning PHP. Armed with that book
and the online PHP manual (with user comments), and you're on your way
to being a well-informed developer.
The second edition (2003) covers PHP 4.3, so it's still quite useful...
I'm pretty sure the third edition will be written to cover 5.0.

Your right there is a wide selection available and as such you need to select based on
your particular development slant.
PHP and Mysql Web Development ISBN 0-672-32525-X 2nd Edition by Welling & Thomson is a
good general text.
Did you solve your table results printing question?

Hi!
I used to detect whether a path is absolute by seeing if the first character
is a forward slash.
Unfortunately, Windows absolute paths are in a different syntax like "C:\",
and I don't know what other random systems might have for their syntax in
the future.
So, is there a portable way to tell if a path is absolute or not? I thought
about comparing the start of the path with realpath('/'), but this only
works if the path starts with "C:" and fails for "D:" and other drives.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but I said I wanted it to be portable.
Sure, "([A-Za-z]:)?[/\\]" would work to some extent, but would it work
perfectly? As far as I can tell, the path "C:/" is _relative_ on Linux and
BSD. Am I wrong?

c:/ wouldn't even work as a path on unix systems. I don't know how paths
look on MacOS systems, so can't help you with that. However, after
removing the [a-z]: part of the path, you're stuck with an abosulute
path that is of the same type as in Unix. In Unix systems absolute paths
start with a forward-slash (eg. /usr/local or /home/me/, etc). After
removing the c: from eg. c:/this/and/that, you're left with
/this/and/that which looks pretty much the same :)

You were saying?
Anyway it's looking a lot like I'll have to detect the Win32 build of PHP
at runtime, and choose the method based on that. All because PHP doesn't
have an is_absolute function or anything similarly convenient. :-/

Anyway it's looking a lot like I'll have to detect the Win32 build of PHP
at runtime, and choose the method based on that. All because PHP doesn't
have an is_absolute function or anything similarly convenient. :-/

Ahhhh, methinks I have a competitor for a FileSystem Manager :) Perhaps I
misunderstand your problem, but this works fine for me (WinXP) because realpath
[quote]Returns canonicalized absolute pathname[/quote]:
<?php
// we know __FILE__ is an absolute path
$file = __FILE__;
echo realpath(__FILE__) == $file ? 'The same path' : 'Not the same path';
?>

That works because the value in __FILE__ seems to be both canonicalised and
absolute.
For an example which breaks, realpath('/home') on my server returns
'/usr/home', so your example would claim that /home is not absolute. Yet,
it is. :-/

A simple workaround is testing OS:
if (windows)
// use realpath method
} else {
$absolute = $path{0} == '/';
}

Hi !
You can user mysql_insert_id() for this purpose.

Hello,
Here is a shema to explain Template Engines:
http://www.tinybutstrong.com/index.php?page=template
Some developers complain about Template Engines because they are too complex
or because they are a kind of new language over PHP. The one you will found
on the URL above is expected to be different.

The template system I use is extremely simple.
Template.php:
<?php
class Template
{
var $Items;
var $_document;
function Template($document)
{
$this->Items = array();
$this->_document = $document;
}
function Render()
{
echo $this->ToString();
}
function ToString()
{
$template = $this->Items;
ob_start();
require($this->_document);
return ob_get_clean();
}
}
?>
and to use it?
templates/index.html:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
Hello <?=$template['name']?>, it is currently <?=$template['time']?>
</body>
</html>
index.php:
<?php
include_once('Template.php');
$template = new Template('./templates/index.html');
$template->Items['name'] = 'User';
$template->Items['time'] = date('d M Y', time());
$template->Render();
?>
why use it?
Because you keep your html and your php code separate. That is the
goal when using any templating system.

I've generated a page where the user selects and completes a form. One of
these is a free text area with the name "TXT_Question". this is used later
as "$Question = $_Post['TXT_Question'];" but for some reason when I send
this in an e-mail like so:
\nUser has selected eventID:\t$EventID
\nAnd their question is:\t$Question
Nothing gets posted.
Any ideas...?
The form is located at:
http://www.arrasresources.co.uk/pmoclinic/

Shouldn't this be $_POST['TXT_Question'] (upper case)?

Why should it be posted? You wrote that you wanted to send the data in an
email.

What's the best way of emptying my variables once my form has done with them
because although I disconnect from the database if the user refreshes the
screen it sends another e-mail to me.

Even when you reset all variables on the page (e.g. with $_POST = array())
the user can always refresh and therefore re-submit your form.
To avoid this you could do a redirect after processing the form:
// process form here
header('location: ' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); exit;
Of course then you will have to pass any notices for the user via get (or
store it in a session variable).
Hope this helps.

hello list,
im running a php script from CLI/CGI on linux which has a variable execution
time, some times it doesnt terminates by itself so i have to set a
max_execution_time to terminate the script. My problem is that the

zombie php prozesses.
any help/sugesstions ?
