Generating random numbers is quite easy in php. I suggest using rand( ).
Simply put your upper limits and lower limits in, then it randomly chooses a
number inbetween.
EG: rand( 1, 9 ) generates a random number between 1 and 9. If you want to
be able to control the length, then use rand however many times its needed
$LengthOfRandom = "4";
WHILE ( $LengthOfRandom > 0 ) {
$RandomNumber .= rand( 0,9 );
//The .= means it will add the value on the right on to what already
excists on the left
$LengthOfRandom = $LengthOfRandom - 1;
}
print $LengthOfRandom;
would output random numbers like below
1220
8273
For more infomation, take a look at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php
Hope this helps
Stephen

Can you also write the error message? It could be you need to turn on your
Mail Server's email redirection - the feature that allows it to send email
on to another system
EG: My local email server gives me an address of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Trying to send mail to it using php always works, as it is a local email
address. However, when using php to send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(for example) I need the redirection feature enabled. Otherwise php returns
an error!
Hope this helps

Only 20 emails a day ? When I was working on new builds, we regularly got
hundreds of 'template missing' messages a day - I just filtered em into a
mailbox and deleted when I haad fixed the problem :-)
Bloody lightweights - LOL
PS - With reference to your problem - why do the email addresses become
inactive ? How often do you purge your mail database ? Are you a spammer :-?
Its usually a good idea to validate emails by connecting to the mailserver
supplied by the user using a socket, and validate new mail addresses that
way - an error from the mail server and you unceremoniously delete the user
anyway. The other way to validate is of course to send a validation link in
the email such that the user is required to validate their receipt of the
mail against the database - anybody not renewing their a/c in say a week,
gets deleted.

Subject: How to prevent error email from being sent?
Hey guys,
My service sends out emails every few days to members who wish to have
stats sent to them. The problem is once an email becomes inactive, I the
webmaster gets a failure email sent to me. This is starting to add up and I
can get upwards of 20 of these a day. It just seems likea waste of space
and bandwidth... is there anyway I can prevent this?
If i delete the webmaster email key in php.ini will my emails not have a
reply address?
Thanks!

I'm ripping my hair out, mainly because my customer is really getting antsy for this
to work. He has a credit app online running on our NT server under IIS 5.0 It calls
and include file (missing.inc) when it finds an empty field once the form is
submitted. The missing.inc is suppose to say sorry but you left $missing blank.
Instead of doing that, it just reloads the credit app. Any help at all would be much
appreciated.
This is the include file (missing.inc) in it's entirety
<?php
if(!isset($missing)) $missing = "";
echo("<center><font color='#000000' face='verdana'
size='7'><b>Oops!<br><br></font><font color='#000000' face='verdana' size='4'
class='ninept'>The $missing field was not filled out.<br><br></b></font>\n");
echo("<font color='#000000' face='verdana' size='4' class='ninept'><b>Please go <A
HREF='../creditapp.php'>back to the form</A> and fill out the $missing field. Thank
you.</b></font></center>\n");
?>
I did set the include_path in my php.ini I've set it to .\inc;c:\php\includes
It deffinatly seems to be accesing the missing.inc file. If i change the permisions
on missing.inc i can get it to ask me for a password everytime i submit the form,
that's how i know it's tryign to read the file, it just doesn't seem to do anythign
with it.
