I'm migrating a website from one server to another, and my file paths
and dbs have changed.
For example /a/b/c/foo.txt on the old machine is at /x/y/z/foo.txt on
the new machine. The MySQL db "foo" on the old machine is "bar" on the
new machine.
Can I intercept fopen() and mysql_connect() so that when PHP does
fopen("/a/b/c/foo.txt"), I magically (using Zend functions or method
overloading or anything else) convert it at runtime to
fopen("/x/y/z/foo.txt").
Same thing so that mysql_connect("foo") becomes mysql_connect("bar").
The code is badly written: doing a search/replace in the code wouldn't
really work. I really want to "hook" fopen()/mysql_connect() and
similar commands so I can tweak their args before they actually
execute. Is there any hope?
Sort of like an LD_PRELOAD for PHP?

You're missing a hard return in your From: header field. Email
servers won't accept just an \n at the end. Instead, you have to use
\r\n. That should fix the issue, but as itoctopus said, you should
also remove the error buffering (@) from the mail function in case
there are other errors.

Hi, all. I'm sure this question has been asked, but I was not able to
effectively search the forum archives, so I'm having to ask it again.
I'm trying to use the mail function to send email on OS X, but the email
gets rejected by the mail server I'm sending to. I get messages in
mail.loglike this:
"The IP you're using to send email is not authorized to send email directly
to our servers."
I tried sending mail through another server using the SMTP and smtp_port
settings in my php.ini files, but the settings seem to be ignored (perhaps
they are Windows only?). Can anyone tell me how I can successfully send
test emails on OS X?
Also, the From header does seem to be getting successfully set. Is there
anything wrong with this code?
mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'php test', 'this is the message.\nthis is another
line.', 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'."\n\r");
Thanks,
Christian

This is a problem with the destination mail server rejecting mail from
the machine you're sending it from. It has nothing to do with the
contents of the email or with PHP. Your best bet is to email
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (or whatever the real domain you're sending to is)
and ask them why your IP cannot send mail to their mail server.

Coming from a mail server admin point of view, this message to me would
mean that the mail server is using a service like Postini or some other
3rd party mail filtering system, and mail servers at bar.com are
allowing mail to come from the relaying servers at the 3rd party mail
filtering system.
Just a thought.

A request has a Content-type header?...
I don't think it works like that...
Never seen the Content-type header either in a request, do you mean
the Accept header?

David,
Thank you for replying.
The way you write that makes me hope you understand how
mysql_real_escape_string should be used. You do understand that you don't
run it on the query, rather on the individual string variables that will be
passed to the query.
Thank you for your concern and clarification.
I do understand the distinction, though, and although my description was
terse, what I meant was that the content that is placed within the MySQL
queries are screened with mysql_real_escapte_string, but the MySQL
syntax of the query is left alone.
I'm pretty sure if I hadn't made that distinction, my site would have
malfunctioned immediately.
Thank you for following up.

Thanks, I'll check this out.
Till now I managed to get the result I wanted with :
<?php
for ($i=0 ; $i < strlen($post_text) ; $i++) {
$chr = $post_text{$i};
$ord = ord($chr);
if (($ord<32 or $ord>126) and ($ord != 13) and ($ord !=
10)){
Echo "BAD CHAR is : " . $ord;
break;
}
}
?>

My suggestion finds high-bit characters (127-255), but you need to find
printable characters with the exception of \n and \r. So my suggestion
won't work for you, I'm afraid. Perhaps you want something like below?
$bad_string_flag = ! ctype_print(strtr($string, "\n\r", " "));
>From the docs, it seems that replacement string in strtr cannot be null for
correct operation, so I've used double blanks (or use any chars,
e.g. "NR"). The strtr part feels a bit clumsy, but you might be able to
find a better way in "XVII. Character Type Functions" or "CLXI. String
Functions" (PHP Manual).
Kind regards,
Abdullah

The fact that filesize is "failing" and stat is "failing" when you
give a specific filename suggests to me that your filename is at
fault.
Try things like:
echo file_exists($filename); // if it's there, it should be TRUE
$path = dirname($filename);
$dir = opendir($path) or die("$path is not there\n");
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false){
echo $file, ": ", filesize("$path/$file"), "<br />\n";
}
This will list all the files in the directory -- which may not be the
directory you think you are looking at, ESPECIALLY if you are using
relative directories.

Yeah, I get a buck. So?
That wouldn't explain the fatal (exit 1) status for undefined
functions though, Rich. Chris, you didn't compile this from source,
right? If you're using a binary, it should work Out Of The Box [tm].
Are you using a development version or stable? Have you noticed
problems with other functions that are expected to work?

Hello there,
I'm currently writting and Internet Draft candidate to describe an HTTP
header that will be used to transfer timezone information from browsers to
servers. Compliant browsers will need to send a timezone string:
Timezone: +0200
that will specify their timezone offset. This way scripts will be able to
provide appropriate date/time strings/representations and/or content.
I'm sending this email as a request for comments. Any ideas/suggestions will
be greatly appreciated and will help in forming the final document.
You can find the current draft in:
http://www.it.teithe.gr/~v13/draft-sharhalakis-httptz-02.txt
This and all future versions will be available in the IETF I-D database at:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/idindex.cgi
Just search for 'httptz'. Revision 02 will be available really soon in the I-D
DB too.
Please CC me since I'm not subscribed to the mailing list.
