Hej Søren
I just realised - you can't have those characters in the email address.
You may have them in the name part, but not in the address part. If
you have them in the domain, you need to convert them to punycode
before you validate.

This discussion is just plain weird. About this henrys cat thing... Thats
OLD... really old, shit the scary part is that I remember it.
Cat probably knew nothin about php, since I never saw any reference to him in
the archives.
This shit is also likely to get some good google hits to,
search for "henrys cat php"... imagine that. WEIRD!

Oh sure, and now when I'm searching for "shit" I'll get all these
Henry's cat references *bleh*.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I'd never search for shit on the Internet anyways,
the prospect of the kind of results one would get is enough to make me
cringe.

Dear All,
Mine is Linux FC6 and define the quota by using the build in as the
following :
For sudoers :
apache ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/quota, /bin/grep
For /var/spool/mail
-rw------- 1 root root 7168 Sep 24 23:02 aquota.group
-rw------- 1 root root 8192 Sep 24 18:05 aquota.user
So, is there as sample for Quota Display ( FS Quota ) ?
I want to apply with a WebMail Client for a alarm message...
Many thanks !

Hi!
I think that is not possible to read post data as a buffer with php like
it´s in perl. If this is true, how do you deal with large file uploads
to know the status of the operation at any time?
Thanks

Hi Hulf,
Just looking at it, I'm not sure why it's not working. But here is
the script I use for exporting database files to excel:
<?PHP
$sortOrder = $_SESSION['order'];
$search = $_SESSION['search'];
$select = "SELECT * FROM ".$table." WHERE FName like '%".$search."%'
or LName like '%".$search."%' or Add1 like '%".$search."%' or Add2
like '%".$search."%' or City like '%".$search."%' or State like '%".
$search."%' or Zip like '%".$search."%' or XCode like '%".$search."%'
order by ".$sortOrder."";
$export = mysql_query($select);
$fields = mysql_num_fields($export);
for ($i = 0; $i < $fields; $i++) {
$header .= mysql_field_name($export, $i) . "\t";
}
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($export)) {
$line = '';
foreach($row as $value) {
if ((!isset($value)) or ($value == "")) {
$value = "\t";
}
else
{
$value = str_replace('"', '""', $value);
$value = '"' . $value . '"' . "\t";
}
$line .= $value;
}
$data .= trim($line). "\n";
}
$data = str_replace("\r", "", $data);
if ($data =="") {
$data ="\n(0) Records Found!\n";
}
header("Content-type: application/x-msdownload");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=Export.xls");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
print "$header\n$data";
?>

Just out of my own curiosity, What does the Content-Length and Accept-

exit;

Also, when I was trying to get mine working, I commented out all the
header calls so it would print the results on the page so I didn't
end up with 500 excel spreadsheets on my desktop.

I'm thinking this should not be calling filesize.

Were are you actually outputting the $content???
is $size the actual size of the data? if so, you don't need to run
filesize($size)

You'll want to echo out $content before the exit call. And
filesize($size) makes no sense here--this function expects the path to a
*file* given to it.

I'm trying to modify a string so that it can be used as a Distinguished
Name in an LDAP operation. Distinguished Names must have special
characters, such as (, ), / and \ escaped with a backslash. For
instance, 'Kevin (Kev) Zembower, III" becomes 'Kevin \(Kev\) Zembower\,
III'.
I tried to do this in this statement:
$entry['FirstName'] = preg_replace('/(\)|\(|\,|\/)/',`\\$1',
$entry['FirstName'];
But it gives me this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE,
expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in
/var/www/centernet/htdocs/ldap_auth/conversion.php on line 89
Can anyone help me get this statement right? Also, this doesn't seem
very readable or easily maintained. I read about using an array() as the
pattern string, which might make the statement more readable. Can anyone
show me how this would be done, and suggest other ways to make this
statement more easily maintained?
Thanks for your advice and suggestions.

Suggest using the hex or oct codes for the special characters. It will save you
much heart ache. Here is a great utility http://www.dextronet.com/charprobe.php

Two things I can see straight off that will give you a parse error:
1. You've used a back tick instead of a single quote before \\$1
2. There's no closing parenthesis to the preg_replace function.

preg_replace('/([\(\),]+)/', '\\\$1', $str)
You don't need the pipes (OR) in the search pattern. By placing them in
the square brackets they act as a set of characters to search for.
The comma also does not require escaping.
I suggest you create an escapeDN() or escapeLDAPStr() function so that
you can alter the search pattern in one place if you need to.
Oh, and i left out the escaped forward slash you had in your search
pattern. Are you really expecting someone to have a forward slash in
their name? If so, change it to:
'/([\(\)\/,]+)/'

For a simple string replacement, why not do something like this
<?php
$FirstName = 'Kevin (Kev) Zembower, III';
echo $FirstName;
$replace[')'] = '\)';
$replace['('] = '\(';
$replace['/'] = '\/';
$replace[','] = '\,';
$FirstName = str_replace(array_keys($replace), $replace, $FirstName);
echo $FirstName;
?>

I'm researching, trying to find a really good/stable bidding/auction system.
I've checked freshmeat/sourceforge, etc.... Anybody with experience with one
of these kinds of systems that you care to share.
Looking to potentially rip it apart for my needs.
Thanks

The problem with IE was when you told it not to cache the document. If
you just want the browser to download the file rather than let the
Adobe plug-in handle it, as it looks like you intend with the
Content-disposition set to attachment, you have to send just the right
headers to make IE happy. (I think Brian's example should do it.)
Otherwise, IE knows it can handle the document internally with a
plug-in and will still try to open the file anyway. For some reason
when IE tries to handle files like PDF, it downloads the file, saves
it to cache, and then tells the Adobe plug-in to open the file from
the cache. Since you've told IE not to cache the file, IE honors that
request -- it builds the cache filename (and may even save the file
before promptly deleting it) and then sends that file name to the
Adobe plug-in which then tries to open a file that does not exist in
your computer's local cache.

LOL. I love that approach, too. Unfortunately, it's not very practical. :-\
