Hi guys,
I work on newsletters and I send them using PHP. I want to send them in couple groups.
My question: is there any chance that first group e-mails would be start sending
themselves at noon. 2nd group at 1PM etc. - depend on time (timestamp)?
Thanks for any help!

You might want to double check your location commands...
Maurice's omits a necessary space between "Location:" and the URL - this
space MUST be here... ie header("Location: xxxx") is correct but
header("Location:xxxx") is not.
Chaz's header statement seems to omit the colon... maybe it's a typo in
the email, but if the colon is omitted from the source file itself, that
very well could be causing some sort of problem. Specifically,
header("Location .../list.php?f=1") will not work, but header("Location:
.../list.php?f=1") will.
As a side-note, I see no reason for three dots at the beginning of that
URL. That could also be throwing things off.
If I hadn't noticed these two things to be errors, I probably wouldn't
have commented on this thread because I don't see any reason for a POST
to work but not a GET. I've been doing this on Win2k/PHP4/IIS5 for 6
months at least with no problems...
Good luck -

The header is actually correct, complete with the colon. I just used
ellipses to omit the whole mess of the URL that I was using for that page --
sorry for the confusion. If I swap out the URL with http://www.cnn.com/ or
something else and it works beautifully. I spotted an archived note on
Usenet that indicated that this was a new bug after 4.0.2, so I'm going to
go back a couple of versions and see if I can get it working.

Hi Toby,
Sorry about that.. the format is header("location:
http://www.somewhere.com");
This is what gives the error. Have you been doing redirects or just
straight POSTS?

Hi Maurice -
I've been doing both. I use redirects a LOT in some of my applications
and have had no problems so far.
The exception is that IE 5 sometimes alerts with a "redirection error"
but this only occurs if I hit "refresh" - actually posting with the form
has yeilded no problems.
I'm using POST, not GET, on these redirects as well.
I just thought I'd post my observations to the list; apparently they
weren't of much help to Chaz, which is OK, but I don't have any more to
add.
Anyway, good luck to everybody that is experiencing this problem -

does anyone know if it is possible to pass code to the php executable.
for example.
php <?php echo "hello world"; ?>
I have tried but it didn't work maybe I'm just doing it wrong. If it doesn't is
there a way of running a script that is in memory. say I use fopen to read a php
script into a variable how then can I run this script? eval didn't seem to work right.
thanks in advance
