If you're on a dedicated server (no other sites on the server), you could just count the session files in /tmp.

Re: [PHP] PHP Encoders and GPL License
Larry Brown wrote: I just want to clarify this for myself. My impression was that the affects of GPL requiring software developed from the original GPL to also be free was only applicable to modifications of the program itself. The GPL is a ridiculously outdated and vague license which has rarely been tested in any courts (if ever) and therefore there's no clearly established caselaw to base decision on. 'outdated'? 'vague'? GPL speaks of 'linking'. How is this to be defined? The GPL has language (linking, binary, compiler, kernel, etc) which is not something which even enters into the consideration of most developers who use scripting langauges (perl, php, python, etc). The GPL was written almost exclusively with C and similar languages in mind, although it's not explicitly stated anywhere. derivative works is not clearly defined. If I distribute a PHP script, is calling a 'wordwrap' function somehow 'linking' to the original PHP code? My program's functionality certainly depends on the wordwrap code functioning properly. Is it a 'work based on the Program'? The definition states that 'a work based on the Program means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language.' Whose copyright law? The original developer's? The 2nd generation developer's? Translated into another language is damn vague, imo. If I take the original wordwrap function code - in C - and translate that to Python, have I translated it to another language? I realize that the PHP code isn't GPL - I'm not speaking specifically to PHP, but to the GPL 'definition' of things. It's a shame so many people just write stuff and put it out under GPL without coming close to understanding the implications of the license, or the ambiguities. At some point, there will be larger legal cases which will invalidate some of the principles which developers though the GPL meant, but didn't really understand. So if php was GPL and I modified the source and built my own customized version of php I couldn't sell it but could only give it away, You can sell GPL software. Often there's not much point because you have to grant the right of redistribution to others, so the first person you sold it to would be able to redistribute the source code (because they're entitled to recieve the original source code), thereby being able to undermine your sales efforts. In practice, many people probably wouldn't bother redistributing something, but it would only take one person to do so to have the impact. Also, just because something is GPL doesn't require the original developers to give it away to everyone by setting up FTP servers and all that other stuff. All you're required to do is provide to source to someone who requests it, and you only have to do that if they got it from you. Example: I have a large system which I GPL. I distribute a binary to customers who purchase it. My only obligation is to provide source code to the customer upon request. At that point, THEY can recreate a binary from my source and sell that, but they would also then have to fulfill requests for the source (which they may not want to do). *I* do not have to fulfill requests for the source to anyone except those to whom I distribute/sell a binary version. That's really it. but if I used php to develop some other software that runs on php I could sell it without a problem. Similar to creating software that runs on Linux, the software can be sold but if I modify Linux itself and turn around and sell it, it would be against the license. Again, no, you can sell it, but you're obligated to provide the source to any purchser who requests it, and you can't then stop them from redistributing it. Any Linux kernel changes you made then 'sold' would either not sell at all, or would sell a couple copies then get rolled back in to the main tree of some distribution.

[PHP] Re: Auto Incrementing in PHP
Thanks Guys
I just needed a pointer. I decided to use the database and created two
tables, one for invoice number and one for order number then defined a
function to read the current number and the increment it.
// GET AUTO NUMBER and creates the next one
// uses the parameter tablename as $table
function get_auto_number($table)
{
if(!$table)
{
echo The Function get_auto_number requires the peramater 'tablename' to
allow it to know which auto number you want.br;
exit;
}
$query = 'select number from '.$table;
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result)
{
echo Sorry there is a problem getting the auto_number from the
table .$table.br;
exit;
}
$current_number = mysql_fetch_row($result);
global $auto_number;
$auto_number = $current_number[0];
$query = update .$table. SET number = '.($auto_number +1).';
$result = mysql_query($query);

For that you need a database to keep track of the number for all users. Or use a file-based counter. There are 1000's of counter scripts out there both file based and database based. If the application is mission critical then a simple file based counter is wholly inadequate. There are issues of concurrent access -- two or more instances of the script trying to read and write to the file at the same time.

That'll work, but it's not atomic. At high traffic loads you can get
duplicates.
You might want to consider a table with a auto_increment field. Do a dummy
insert, the get the value with :
mysql_query('SELECT last_insert_id() as id');

What version of PHP is running on the server, what version did you develop the script with? Do you know if register globals are on or off? You can get a lot of information about PHP by doing ?php phpinfo(); ? Do you receive any error messages indicating the file can not be opened for writing or does it silently discard the data?

[PHP] Mass Mailing with PHP MySQL
Hi, I'm working on a mailing solution for a client. His site collects email address from a 'Send this site to a friend' page (user enters their email address and up to 10 other addresses - a message is then sent to the 10 addresses from the users own email address). The addresses are then stored in a MySQL database - a column for the users email address, and then a column each for the additional 10 addresses. Now the client would like to have the ability to send an email to all addresses collected at once - to inform the addresses of a sale, etc. I'm guessing for this to be done, I'd have to select all the DISTINCT email addresses from the 11 columns (users email, and the 10 addresses), then use a loop to send the mail out. I had planned on using PHP's mail() function - does anyone know of any limitations imposed by this method? Normally, I'd contact the ISP and ask them directly, however it's been several weeks since they've answered the phones. Does anyone have any other/better options that I should pursue? This will be my first mass mailing typed job so I'm not really sure where to begin or if I'm on the right path at all.

I just needed a pointer. I decided to use the database and created two
tables, one for invoice number and one for order number then defined a
function to read the current number and the increment it.
// GET AUTO NUMBER and creates the next one
// uses the parameter tablename as $table
function get_auto_number($table)
{
if(!$table)
{
echo The Function get_auto_number requires the peramater 'tablename' to
allow it to know which auto number you want.br;
exit;
}
$query = 'select number from '.$table;
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result)
{
echo Sorry there is a problem getting the auto_number from the
table .$table.br;
exit;
}
$current_number = mysql_fetch_row($result);
global $auto_number;
$auto_number = $current_number[0];
$query = update .$table. SET number = '.($auto_number +1).';
$result = mysql_query($query);

[PHP] Can I use white spaces?
Hi all, I've encountered myself trapped into a big mystery this time, and that's because of some white spaces.

Re: [PHP] Mass Mailing with PHP MySQL
A while() loop will, at some point, break. this is because the script will timeout on the server before you send to any large lists... when I say large, this could be 100 address', or could be 10,000 -- it all depends on your server/ISP and server load at certain times. A better/simpler solution would be to build a Bcc header field using the while loop, then only send ONE email to 1000's of email address' via the Bcc field, just like you would from Outlook. BUT, your host may impose restrictions on how many emails you can send in one Bcc... my host has a limit of 100. So, I tend to send a few emails of 50-ish people per email to my list, balancing the two above issues. There are also some simple/complex classes on phpclasses.org (esp the one by manuel lemmos) which can overcome both these problems, with various methods. I haven't used them yet, basically because I don't see the need yet, given my small lists.

Hi all, I guess this problem might sound childish for most of you, but I'm having it right now. I get two numbers from a FORM, one price and one quantity and I need to make a multiplication with them in order to store the total amount also as a double expression... I'm trying with: $totalprice = $price * $qty; but when I echo the, it gives me just plain old 0 (zero). Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Cesar L.

Re: [PHP] Can I use white spaces?
You where nothing but right. I didn't know that PHP's html HAD to have all of the quoting right for PHP to work properly. Glad it's working but, just to clarify, this is an HTML issue, not a PHP one.

Re: [PHP] PHP Books
PHP Fast Easy Web Development by Julie Meloni kicked things off for me (after knowing only HTML) basically walks you through the code of common things that you would want to do with PHP. (email a submitted html form - insert/retrieve and edit data in mysql database) Read through the examples and picture it in your mind. Lots of it is repetition but by the end you'll understand or at lest know where to look to find answers to solutions you want http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search/002-6827406-7685618?tag=opera-20index=blendedkeyword=PHP+Fast+Easy+Web+Development Julie's site: www.thickbook.com Many tutorials available here as well. PHP Bible is another good reference book. There's also a lot of sample code in here if I remeber right http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search/002-6827406-7685618?tag=opera-20index=blendedkeyword=PHP+bible The manual is really invaluable as well. It's very well organized and easy to find what you need if you know how to use it. A boring but helpful activity would be to read through the summaries of the functions. You won't remember all [or any :)] of them, but you will get an idea of what is possible and how powerful the language is. Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes Also ought to pick yourself up this cheapy while your at it. A great intro to SQL. It's great for a reference and an idea of what is possible (and how simple the majority of what you want to do really is) You'll probably be using MySQL at some point and this will help lots to understand how the database can help you out. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search/002-6827406-7685618?tag=opera-20index=blendedkeyword=Sams+Teach+Yourself+SQL+10+Minutes olinux --- Armoured [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hello, i have been told that i should email you to help me with my question, and the auestion is: Can you recommend an GREAT book for someone to learn php off.

Re: [PHP] Login scritp help needed.
Try this article - code sample available in the code library as well. http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim2505.php3 Also a 6 part series on www.devarticles.com (5 are done) Here's part five - you can find the rest :) http://www.devarticles.com/art/1/323 zend.com probably has a good article on this as well. olinux --- Karl James [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hey does anyone have a good login script that i can i can go buy on a tutorial sake. and also how to add the info correctly into a mysql database.

[PHP] Recommended freeware guestbook?
Hey, Anybody have a php-based guestbook that they like and can be freely downloaded? Don't need anything really fancy, just for a personal website. Easy-to-use, and not hard to integrate into the site would be bonuses (mysql not a problem). I've looked around, and there's a bunch out there - I'm just looking for recommendations of what people like.

RE: Re: [PHP] Mass Mailing with PHP MySQL
I had an idea myself to do this. But I've held off because I want to do something rather robust but still flexible. I was going to use a database table.. with the fields.. to.. from.. subject.. body.. etc I was then going to have a cron task that ran every so often grabbing the records 1000-2000 at a time and sending them... if the script timed out the queue would still be there next time it ran. Would this be a good solution for a heavy amount of emails? The benefit I guess is I can use any language I like to read the database and send the emails but still queue it up with php or any other language. I could even add a date time field to send emails at a certain time as well. I think it would also free the user up faster as the records could be added to the database with Insert delay. The series of inserts would be done and the user can forget about it. A simple admin page with a Count query could monitor the queues progress. Am I on the right track? any ideas additions?
