[PHP] A weired browser-session problem
Hello friends, I have a weired problem with sessions. I am using session_start(); session_register(Sessionname); The following is my problem. 1) User with valid username and password is given an Administration Menu. 2) Various options are there. He selects a particular option. 3) The selected option is opened in a new page. 4) He does his job on the new window. But midway ( say after 2 pages ), after making a few chioices, he closes the newly opened window,leading to some variables being registered 5) Now , after some time , selects the same option. 6) Makes his selection. But , he gets the choices that he had used previous time inspite of him closing the window . How do I get rid of the problem ? I would like that even if the user closes the browser midway and then again checks the same , his new sessions should be registered and not the old. Is there a way wherein we can destroy the sessions of the new browser window as soon as the browser is closed ? I would be very thankful to you for your help. Thanks a zillion for your help.

Oh, I see. Without seeing your code, the best recommendation I have
is to loop through the array and remove the empty elements, then check
to see if the array is empty, something like this:
if (is_array($array)) {
foreach ($array as $key = $element) {
if ($element == ) {
unset($array[$key]);
}
}
}
if (empty($array)) {
...

Re: [PHP] A weired browser-session problem
Monil, First, from the perspective of the Web server, there is only one browser. Also, there is no way to know when a user closes a browser. So, your problem just sounds like PHP is *maintaining* the session, which is exactly what it is supposed to do. :-) It is your job to maintain the data associated with a particular session, and there are functions to help you destroy data in a session, or you can simply reinitialize all of your session variables when the user first selects an option from the menu. Happy hacking. Chris Monil Chheda wrote: The following is my problem. 1) User with valid username and password is given an Administration Menu. 2) Various options are there.

The example below is correct, however in many cases you can avoid the anonymous search. If say for all users you have entries with dn's like uid=dj, o=users, dc=mycompany, dc=com you can just do $dn = uid=$inp_uid, o=users, dc=mycompany, dc=com; $ds = ldap_connect(ldap.someserver.com); $r = ldap_bind($ds, $dn, $inp_passwd); and check whether $r is true. Someone reported that there is some implementation where this is falsely true for empty password, so prior to this I would chech that the password string is non-empty, just to be sure.

[PHP] Designing N-tier applications in PHP (long)
I have a few application design questions that I was hoping someone might have some thoughts on. I'll warn you in advance that this post is kinda long winded. I'll try my best not to use two many trendy buzzwords, but I may not be able to avoid it. :-) I work for a real-estate company and one of the functions of our website is to (obviously) allow customers to search our listings database. I currently have a fairly straightforward set of PHP pages that accepts search criteria, constructs SQL queries, and then displays the listing data. For quite some time this was more than sufficient for our needs. Recently we added a new application to what we provide that allows customers to sign up to receive new listing notifications based on a certain set of search criteria. I was charged with the responsibility of creating this application. I decided (for various reasons) to implement this application in Perl. As I was putting the Perl script together I realized that I was going to have to duplicate all of the business logic that existed in my PHP pages to build the SQL queries and display the results. For example, different listings have different rules for display. Some bits of information cannot be legally displayed based on the location the listing is in. All of this business logic was wrapped up tightly inside my PHP pages, and I realized I was going to have to implement it again in my Perl script. Worse yet, I realized that if any of this business logic changes (which it often does), I was going to have to remember to change it in TWO places. Up until this point there was only the website, but now that I had two completely seperate applications that I have to maintain whenever anything changes. I realized at this point that I would be really nice if the business logic that determines how to construct the queries and which bits of data to display were completely seperated from the presentation logic that existed in my PHP pages. If I had some sort of component that merely accepted search parameters and returned data then I could access this component from both the PHP page and the Perl script. If the business logic changed later I could simply update the component and I (theoretically speaking) wouldn't have to touch the PHP page or the Perl script. I've been doing research into this kind of application design. From my limited and inexperienced perspective, it does appear that Microsoft does offer some advantages in this area. But COM is not an option for me, for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that our servers run Linux and I cannot access PHP's COM functions. I have considered setting up a PHP page that runs on a seperate port. This page would accept search criteria via a query string, and then return listing data in XML format. Then on the PHP presentation side (or my Perl script), I would parse the XML and either display it manually, or use XSLT. I don't have a lot of experience with this, however. It seems that XML support in PHP is still in a state of infancy. I'm aware of Sablotron, and I have successfully compiled PHP with Sablotron support. But I've read articles that the SAX implementation that PHP employs is inferior that the DOM model. I've also read that the PHP developers are working on improving the support for XML and XSLT by using libxslt instead of Sablotron in later versions. After reading all of this, it seems like the best thing to do is to wait a bit until XML support in PHP solidifies a little more. Also, I am concerned that the overhead of connecting via TCP (even if on the same physical web server), having a page generate XML, receiving the response, and then having to parse it back out again, might impact peformance too severely. On our website, the most popular thing is searching listings. If I drastically reduce responsiveness by adding all of this overhead, then I've made things easier for programmers, at the expense of the end user. Another technology I was toying around with is Java servlets and Java Beans. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to this stuff too, but from what I've read it seems that Java Beans are designed to wrap up business logic in reusable components. Money is an issue, however, so if I implemented anything in Java I would have to use Apache's Tomcat, and not one of the commercial Java platforms. I realize this is wildly off-topic for this list, but if anyone here has any experience with Tomcat I'd appreciate any advice (off-list if necessary) as to whether I'm barking up the wrong tree or not. :-) Thanks in advance to any advice anyone can give... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

here i didn't have to 'or' the IDs but it works fine
and i didn't really understand how it works?
what does it mean if 2 15, 2 can be found in
15???!!! is that a miracle;)

consider there are categories and these have IDs
like
below:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64...
if some data belongs to more than 1 category for

of cat. IDs.
i guess this is used widely in programming. so,
how

Re: [PHP] return the amount of records in a mysql databace
Look through the MySQL functions. I seem to recall that there is a function for just about anything, and all you really want to do is find how many rows are in all the tables in a particular database. Thus, a couple of loops is all you need, with the outer one looping through each table (obtained from a function) and the inner one doing a select count(*) or a mysql_num_rows(). Happy hacking.

[PHP] RE: [PHP-DB] password function
Not sure if this has been answered yet but since the new version of PHP,
I found that it doesn't like you entering the SQL statements in the
query tag directly. Here's what you should do.
$sql = select password(.$_POST['password'].)
$conn = **YOUR DATABASE CONNECTION**
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn);
while ($p = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)):
$pswrd=$p['password('.$_POST['password'].')'];
endwhile;
Remember to replace **YOUR DATABASE CONNECTION** with, evidently, your
database connection. What I usually do is assign a function
(db_connect()) to connect to the database and select the database then
just put $conn = db_connect().
Hope that helps!

As I was putting the Perl script together I realized that I was going to have to duplicate all of the business logic that existed in my PHP pages to build the SQL queries and display the results. And this is why. I realized at this point that I would be really nice if the business logic that determines how to construct the queries and which bits of data to display were completely seperated from the presentation logic that existed in my PHP pages. Yes, this is exactly what you should do. Design (redesign?) your Web application with a more modular approach. Make your business logic in separate modules. There is no need to use a different language for this, however, especially since your business logic is probably simple decision making based on information from a database. I have considered setting up a PHP page that runs on a seperate port. Don't forget that PHP has a CLI (command line interface). For example, create a script like this: #! /usr/bin/php -q ? echo PHP has a command line interface!; ? Make it executable and execute it, just like a Perl script. Basically, it's really easy to create multiple interfaces to the same business logic. Don't try to make things more complicated than necessary, and since there is no need to use multiple languages in your implementation, that is a complexity worth avoiding. If your Web application utilizes a modular design, then all your PHP script has to do is include the appropriate business logic from your Web application. Then, you can set it up with cron or whatever to decide who needs to be emailed what. Happy hacking.

[PHP] Re: [PHP-WIN] Create Thumbnails from image
Hi, Read up on the image manipulation functions of PHP at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php You will need to install the GD library if it's not already installed and once you do you will have access to all the functions described, including the ImageCopyResized function. To read the image from disk, you will probably have to use ImageCreateFromGif or ImageCreateFromJpeg and to create the destination image you will need to use CreateImage. You can then save the resulting thumbnail using ImageGif, ImageJpeg or anything you like. Just as a side note, you should probably use ImageCopyResampled which uses interpolation to resize the image, thus creating a thumbnail of much better quality. HTH Olivier PS: to get the image's height and width, use ImagesY and ImagesX respectively, once you have opened/created the image.

[PHP] unlink() and IIS
Im running a dev box with IIS 5/Apache/php 4.1.2
I just noticed that part of a script that is supposed to delete a file
isn't working under IIS but is under Apache.
Under IIS, php is installed as isapi.
Paths are correct, and the file in question is created by the script and
according to the permissions, SYSTEM has full access to the file.
MARC and user notes under unlink() didn't reveal anything about why
unlink() works for some and not for others.
Code snippet in question -
--
$log = '../../includes/error/error.log';
if (isset( $_POST['Reset'] ))
{
if (!unlink($log))
{
trigger_error('UNABLETORESETLOGFILE' , E_USER_WARNING );
}
}
Can anyone shed any light for me.
Thanks for any insight you may provide.

On 22 Sep 2002 at 10:23, Michael Sims wrote: of creating this application. I decided (for various reasons) to implement this application in Perl. I began programming in Perl back in 1995. Took up mod_perl (the only way to seriously use Perl btw on web apps) but as I work primarily on virtual servers mod_perl was just too sophisticated for most environments, so I settled for just Apache::Registry which would also run as plain cgi. Well ... I've finally found a nice framework using PHP (using smarty.php.net) with Pear and then private classes for the App at hand. Works like a charm. I'm a fan of Perl but you can't beat PHP for ease of deployment and PHP does everying Perl does (all that I need) (although not all that mod_perl allows but then those conditions are pretty rare, for instance, like taking command at any of the apache request phases, especially good for custom auth stuff). in my Perl script. Worse yet, I realized that if any of this business logic changes (which it often does), I was going to have to remember to change it in TWO places. Up until this point there was only the website, but now that I had two completely seperate applications that I have to maintain whenever anything changes. Oh yeah, avoid that at all costs. Sounds like something like SOAP etc. could have been an answer, but then it depends on how you write your apps. I write both Perl and PHP to manipulate data. Every function has input and output and those are just arrays. I ran into a similar problem with NUKE. My customer wanted me to allow a user to join via a multi- newsletter module I was writing. Well I got it to work but it was not as easy as it should have been imho. I should have been able to call CreateNewUser and pass it the require input and gotten back a user id and then I could have called soemthing like GetUser and pass it a user id and get back an associative array (my pref) of that user. It was not like that, not at all, or I missed it. It seemed that the creation of a new user was tightly *coupled* with an html signup process. I realized at this point that I would be really nice if the business logic that determines how to construct the queries and which bits of data to display were completely seperated from the presentation logic that existed in my PHP pages. If I had some sort of component that merely accepted search parameters and returned data then I could access this component from both the PHP page and the Perl script. If the business logic changed later I could simply update the component and I (theoretically speaking) wouldn't have to touch the PHP page or the Perl script. Ummm like the other guy said, why bother? You can do that. Of course. But what are you doing in Perl that you cannot do in PHP? Maybe a cron script? I've not written any cron stuff in PHP and I'm not calling lynx to do it as I've seen advertised :( ... I've been doing research into this kind of application design. From my limited and inexperienced perspective, it does appear that Microsoft does offer some advantages in this area. But COM is not an option for me, for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that our servers run Linux and I cannot access PHP's COM functions. SOAP, XML-RPC http://php.weblogs.com/xml-rpc I just did a search on Google. I have not written anything along these lines but given XML you could write your own but I'd always go the public route if I were to do this. I'm reading an interesting book called Software Architect Bootcamp where components is the big word. It's interesting. I'm not sure if I've got a full grasp but it defintiely seems to have an emphasis on decoupling (something going back to I read about in McConnell who is very good). But how to implement? In the book I'm guilty of what he calls the Stovepipe System :( but I'm working on it. I have considered setting up a PHP page that runs on a seperate port. This page would accept search criteria via a query string, and then return listing data in XML format. Then on the PHP presentation side (or my Perl script), I would parse the XML and either display it manually, or use XSLT. I don't have a lot of experience with this, however. It seems that XML support in PHP is still in a state of infancy. I don't know about that. Works well for me. I take an Amazaon XML feed and run it through my smarty templates with no problem here: http://www.readbrazil.com/books/amazon.php?mode=books please note that above site has been more of a php playground than anything else. No need to go the XSLT route although that is interesting. I use Template::Toolkit in Perl and have templates in html, xml, or plain text. the best thing to do is to wait a bit until XML support in PHP solidifies a little more. I really don't now enough about this. Seem strong to me but I have'nt done much. Another technology I was toying around with is Java servlets and Java

Don't try to make things more complicated than necessary, and since there is no need to use multiple languages in your implementation, that is a complexity worth avoiding. Point well taken. However, allow me to explain some things that I left out of my original post: I decided to go with Perl for a few different reasons. First of all, I wanted to get more comfortable working with Perl, mainly so I could get exposed to languages other than PHP. I had used Perl in the past, but only for small tasks. I saw this project as an opportunity to pick up some useful Perl experience. Another reason I went with Perl is because IMHO some of the tasks I needed to accomplish are just easier done in Perl. Part of the functionality of my script is to parse incoming email and take different actions based on it's content. My script responds to certain embedded commands (subscription confirmations, unsubscribe requests, requests for automated help, etc.). It also forwards unknown commands to one set of addresses, while forwarding DSN's to another set. This means accepting the mail on STDIN and doing a lot of regex parsing. I know that this is more than possible in PHP, but Perl just seems better suited to this type of task IMHO. In retrospect it probably would have been better for me to implement everything in PHP, from a modularization point of view. I could have, like you suggested, put all of my business logic in say a class, and included that class from both my webpage and my mail script. But that would lock me in to using PHP for everything that needed access to that business logic, so I'm still not sure that is the best solution...

[PHP] Calling class functions using string variables?
Hi,
Anyone know if it's possible to call a class function using 2 string
variables WITHOUT instantiating the class?
i.e.:
$clName = myClass;
$fuName = myFunc;
$clName::$fuName();
I have tried several different combinations of eval and {} and just
about everything else I can think of
and they all give parse errors
when the class name is a string var. (i.e. myClass::$fuName() works fine
(as expected) but $clName::myFunc() does not). Everytime it doesn't
work, it just gives a simple parse error.
Any suggested are much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Yes, I avoid XSL with the SABOLOTRON (or whatever it is) cus it's not
in most virtual environments and that's a reason to use PHP over Perl,
the ease of deployment. If I have my own box, heck, mod_perl is strong.
Anyhow, I'm a lazy guy, avoid writing code at all costs :)
include_once ( 'AmazonLiteXMLParser.inc'); //

And so my script is essentially this:
$xml = new AmazonAPI();
$rxml = $xml-
keywordSearch($input['keyword'],$input['mode'],$input['page']);
$parse = new AmazonLiteXMLParser($rxml);
$records = $parse-getRecords();
for($i = 0; $i sizeof($records); $i++) {
for($inner = 0; $inner sizeof($records[$i]['rating']); $inner++)
{
$records[$i]['reviews'][$inner]['summary'] =
$records[$i]['summary'][$inner];
$records[$i]['reviews'][$inner]['rating'] =
$records[$i]['rating'][$inner];
$records[$i]['reviews'][$inner]['comment'] =
$records[$i]['comment'][$inner];
}
unset($records[$i]['summary']);
unset($records[$i]['rating']);
unset($records[$i]['comment']);
}
$smarty-assign(BookLoop,$records);
$smarty-assign($input);
$smarty-display('book_index.tpl');
And that's it.
Thanks for your response, you've given me some nice food for thought.
I've heard of Smarty several times before but never looked into it. I
definitely will take a look at it now...
If you continue to use Perl, look at Template::Toolkit. I use it for
all sorts of things, everything, really nice.

Re: [PHP] Designing N-tier applications in PHP (long)
Hello, On 09/22/2002 03:38 PM, Michael Sims wrote: Basically, it's really easy to create multiple interfaces to the same business logic. Don't try to make things more complicated than necessary, and since there is no need to use multiple languages in your implementation, that is a complexity worth avoiding. Point well taken. However, allow me to explain some things that I left out of my original post: I decided to go with Perl for a few different reasons. First of all, I wanted to get more comfortable working with Perl, mainly so I could get exposed to languages other than PHP. I had used Perl in the past, but only for small tasks. I saw this project as an opportunity to pick up some useful Perl experience. Good idea, bad project. It is good that you diversify your knowlegde if that helps your career but I think it is not a good idea to make technology shift in a project that is already written and working well in a certain language. I would say the same if the project was written in Perl and you wanted to change to PHP to diversify your knowledge. I recommend that you do that in a low risk project that you can start from scratch. If you do the change now, chances are that you will face many difficulties and a lot more work than you could antecipate. Another reason I went with Perl is because IMHO some of the tasks I needed to accomplish are just easier done in Perl. Part of the functionality of my script is to parse incoming email and take different actions based on it's content. My script responds to certain embedded commands (subscription confirmations, unsubscribe requests, requests for automated help, etc.). It also forwards unknown commands to one set of addresses, while forwarding DSN's to another set. This means accepting the mail on STDIN and doing a lot of regex parsing. I know that this is more than possible in PHP, but Perl just seems better suited to this type of task IMHO. There is no evidence that is true. Maybe that is just your experience but doing what you mentioned in PHP is a day at the beach. Reading from stdin is the same as reading from any file. Just use fopen(php://stdin,r) to get the file handle. There are many ready to use components to parse complex e-mail if that is what you want. If you just need to use regular expressions, you can do that easily in PHP. I can tell you that I do that myself in a site of mine and probably handling more complex situations like handling bounced newsletter messages. I do it all with PHP hands down. I do not see where Perl would be better. Maybe that is my lack of Perl of experience compared to PHP experience, or your lack of PHP experience compared to your Perl experience. In retrospect it probably would have been better for me to implement everything in PHP, from a modularization point of view. I could have, like you suggested, put all of my business logic in say a class, and included that class from both my webpage and my mail script. But that would lock me in to using PHP for everything that needed access to that business logic, so I'm still not sure that is the best solution... My opinion is that switching to Perl in the middle of a project that already works well in PHP would be a major mistake. You may want to try it and realize that yourself at the expense of loosing a lot of time and probably make your employer very nervous. Regardless if you switch the language, you will always have trouble to split the business from the presentation logic from your PHP scripts. My advice is that you do that just splitting the logic in scripts that you really need to do that. Resist the temptation of doing that in all scripts. Also, doing that and switching to a new language at the same time would make it worse. A sure recipe for disaster. Better safe than sorry. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] session_start() -- no more output
Hi, the following PHP script causes me trouble: ?php session_register(bunt); phpinfo(); ? This is just a simple example. The problem is that the script produces no output at all when called with the browser. I could use ?php session_start(); echo test; ? instead, but I won't get any output either. Everything works as expected when session_start() or session_register() are not used --- phpinfo() then says: Apache/1.3.22 (Unix) Debian/GNU PHP/4.1.0RC2.

Georgie, I'm not sure what you're wanting to do here, but it looks like you just want to use PHP to write some javascript. There's no need to make the browser request an additional page for this. Just do something like this in your PHP script: script language=javascript ? PHP stuff here - output is valid javascript ? /script or even: script language=javascript ? include(/home/georgie/top_stuff.php); ? /script However, speaking directly to your problem, see what you see when you access that URL (http://localhost/top_stuff.php?affiliate=1) yourself. If your PHP scripts are not being processed and instead are just displayed in the browser, then your Web server is not configured to process PHP. Happy hacking.

It would have taken me about the same amount of time to implement it in PHP, simply because I had to learn a lot about email handling and MIME messages, etc. These were training issues that I had to get past that were not language-specific. I also have the advantage of having an employer who isn't a programmer so is fairly oblivous to the details of implementation. He's basically an end user who tells me how he wants the program to function and leaves it up to me to make it work. This can be a big advantage because I have almost absolute freedom to do what I want, but it can also be a disadvantage because I sometimes get carried away with all that freedom. :-) Regardless if you switch the language, you will always have trouble to split the business from the presentation logic from your PHP scripts.

Re: [PHP] JAVASCRIPT INCLUDES
Georgie, Then what you're doing should work perfectly fine. Can you give more details about the error received? The reason I ask is because a Web browser will submit the exact same request for that URL that you do when you type it in yourself. Thus, if you don't see any PHP code, neither should the browser when it tries to execute that as javascript.

Re: [PHP] closing browser's window
I can't imagine how anyone could thing this is a good idea! What's next? Change my browser preferences without asking me? Move some files around on my hard drive? FWIW, PHP is a SERVER SIDE language. It doesn't interact with the browser... by the time your browser recieves a page, it's just plain HTML, which can be seen with view source. To do something as horrid as closing a browser, it would have to be done with something like JavaScript on the browser (client-side). For example, self.close() (forget exact syntax) in JavaScript may do what you want. I still can't see an occasion where you'd want this... at least not on a consumer site.

RE: [PHP] mysql password function
Use this:
$result = mysql_query(SELECT PASSWORD( . $_POST['password'] . ));
$password = mysql_result($result,0);
or just use mysql_fetch_row() or AS in your query so you don't have to
recreate that complex column name.

Re: [PHP] Running a PHP script automatically?
On the Linux box compile PHP as CGI (i.e. don't configure it as an apache mod). Then you can just run your script from the the command-line. This is called CLI (Command Line Interface), not CGI (Common Gateway Interface). The CGI is called from an WebServer; CLI get's called from a shell-(script) or any thing. Anyway, this is the most likely way to do this. The PHP Binaries for Windows already ship with a CLI-Version of PHP which lives in the root of your PHP folder. Most Linux Distribution have also one (I'm not using Red Hat), which would usually live in /usr/bin/php ( to find out, type: whereis php). The CLI can fine be scheduled either by a Vixie-Crontab or by a windows scheduler task. Sascha -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Help with mail...
strings in double quotes are evaluated looking for $vars and {$vars} to
substitute. strings with in single quotes are not evaluated for vars.
$var = my favourite color is {$col}; // works
$var = my favourite color is $col;// works
$var = 'my favourite color is $col';// doesn't work
$var = 'my favourite color is ' . $col; // works
Same applies to strings within functions:
include('{$dir}/{$file}.inc') // doesn't work
include('$dir/$file.inc') // doesn't work
include($dir.'/'.$file.'.inc') // works
include({$dir}/{$file}.inc) // works
include($dir/$file.inc) // probably works
Nothing to do with arrays :)

Re: [PHP] Designing N-tier applications in PHP (long)
If you need to bridge Perl and PHP, as suggested previously you
could implement a web-service (SOAP or XML-RPC). Alternatively,
you could write something Java bean and use PHP's Java support.
Either of those will be costly from a performance point of view
CORBA will be the same (from what I have read HelloWorld in CORBA
is a painful 50 line program, one reason Java developed RMI to use
instead).
In any case, I have to agree with folks who say mixing languages
for the sake of gaining experince on a project is a bad idea. There
are definately places when introducing a new tech is a desireable
thing, particuliarly when that tech offers some potentially large
benefit to your project at a realtively small risk (i.e. at my
company we recently re-wrote a JSP app to use struts+tiles moving
to a templated set-up which will pay off as the app grows in size).
If you are only using Perl, to parse through a user's mail box, I
would think you'd be better off to stick with PHP (the .cgi
version), using it as a shell script and parsing the STDIN with
fopen(php://stdin,r) as Manuel suggested. Split out your
PHP logic into biz logic classes and then call your biz logic
classes (include bizlogic.php) in both your web portion and
your email processing portion...
#!/usr/bin/php4
[?php
# replace [?php ] brackets with angles ?php
# email script
include bizlogic.php;
$bl = new bizlogic();
$x = join('', file(php://stdin));
switch ($argv[0]) {
'-process': $y = preg_match( ... , $x);
$bl-processcommand($y, $x);
break;
'-profit': $bl-profit($x);
break;
}

[PHP] Comparing Alphanumeric values in a range
Hi,
I have a task to generate a new document number for a given range. This
document number is alphanumeric.
Here is the problem:
$lowrange1 = 90;
$highrange1 = HZ;
$currentno = 90CZZZ;
I expect that the next number in the series is: $nextnum = 90D000;
Before using this next number in the series, I need to confirm that the
number falls within the given range.
So I do something like this:
if ((strval($nextnum) = strval($lowrange1)) (strval($nextnum) =
strval($highrange1)))
{
// we have a valid number in the range
}
else
{
// not in the range
}
Now.. the problem is - PHP thinks that 90D000 is less than $lowrange1. I
individually tested them and $lowrange1 was consistently greater than the
number.
I put the strval function around each variable to ensure it was comparing
strings and not numbers for those variables that only contain numbers. This
seems to be a problem with the letter D and E for all positions within
the 6 character alphanumeric number, except for the last position.
ie. 90D works - $lowrange1 is less than this number and $highrange1 is
greater than this number.
For all other positions where the letter D and E are generated:
ie. 9000D0, 900D00, 90D000, 9D and 9000E0, 900E00, 90E000, 9E
Is there a known problem with this? Why it is only happening with the
letters D and E? If I have 900F00 - this works, and so on for the rest
of the letters of the alphabet.
Thanks,
Sam

I have made the necessary corrections in the php.ini file for the SMTP server address, and the sendmail_from, my problem is that my SMTP server require authentication. How do I tell PHP to provide this? There is no way to do it. You may want to try this class instead as it supports authentication as you need: http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass I have also a mail() function replacement based on that class and this other class that does a few other things too, but I haven't fully tested it.

You can run your own SMTP server, if it helps... http://www.postcastserver.com/ Extremely easy to set up. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
