[PHP] mail() function dying half way through.
PHP List,
I have a database of about 120 users. Each weak I send out a newsletter.
So far as I know, it's been working fine for the last couple of years.
Then recently some users emailed me to let me know that they haven't
been receiving all the messages. I added extra output to my script to
echo out the name of each member that got an email sent to them, and I
can now see that only about 50 of them are getting the email.
The only think that has changed that I can think of is that I've
upgraded to MySQL 5.0. However, given the type of problem I'm having, I
don't think it's a MySQL problem, it appears much more likely to be a
problem with my PHP code.
This is the script that sends out the message (edited slightly to take
out irrelevant bits of newsletter content):
- - - -
$count = 0;
while ( $member = mysql_fetch_row($result) )
{
set_time_limit(0);
$subject = Newsletter subject line;
$mailcontent = This message was sent to . $member[0] . at {$member[1]}
Blah, blah, blah - newsletter content goes here.;
mail($member[1], $subject, $mailcontent, $fromaddress);
$count++;
echo pNewsletter sent to . $member[0] . at . $member[1] . /p;
}
echo pA total of .$count . emails were sent out./p\n;
- - - -
The script actually dies before it gets to the last echo which echoes
the value of $count. It outputs about 50 lines of Newsletter sent to
usersname at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then the cursor is stuck in hourglass
mode and the browser is continually waiting a response. It stays like
that indefinitely, and the only way it stops is if I go to another page
or shut down the browser.
I have heard that the mail() function does have limitations on how many
emails it sends out. But I thought it took hundreds, somewhere between
500 and a thousand, of individual emails before it would die. And I also
thought the set_time_limit(0) function would alleviate the problem of
timing out.
Where have I gone wrong with this?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time
to read this.

The whole point of having a numeric primary key is that it is both unique and constant. If you change the primary key, then you have to change every reference to it in every other table as well. You've just defeated the purpose of having a non-user-viewable primary key in the first place. You may as well just use the msgName field, save yourself a column in the database, and still have a huge problem with data integrity. As I said, don't do it. Stick with the numeric ID and don't change it.

Ask your host if they have enabled email throttling. If you're sending
out too quickly, they might be getting cut off by your host and you'll
need to sleep() between each email being sent.

On 08 June 2006 16:20, Ben Liu wrote: I probably should add some more details to my question: The names of the form checkboxes could be changed from ie: bool_careers, bool_speaking, bool_internship, etc. to a single array bool_questions[], for instance. The problem with that is that I am using the form checkbox names later to process related data. Specifically, I am building a user-input based query. So if the form checkbox names are the same as the names of the variables in the database, it makes for easy creating of the query, since the names become associative keys in the $_POST array. I iterate through the $_POST array, checking each for true/false state. I know you've found another (perfectly good) solution already, but I just wanted to point out that you could have used the above scenario with the names as the array indexes, like: input type=checkbox name=bool_questions[first_name] value=yes The above input shows up in $_POST['bool_questions']['first_name'], so you could iterate over $_POST['bool_questions'] to get the result you want.

RE: [PHP] binary zero evaluates as true!?

Jon wrote:
The second thing that needs to be said here is simply a re-statement
of the original, this time more verbosely. The list of things in
php that evaluate as false is as follows:
* the boolean FALSE itself
* the integer 0 (zero)
* the float 0.0 (zero)
* the empty string, and the string 0
* an array with zero elements
* an object with zero member variables (PHP 4 only)
* the special type NULL (including unset variables)
* SimpleXML objects created from empty tags
now, all i'm saying is that if, of all ungodly things, the literal
string 0 and empty arrays evaluate to false, isn't it appropriate
to expect a binary zero to evaluate to false as well? Maybe i still
don't get it. :(
Jon,
You are correct about the behavior you are observing, sorry I doubted
your ability/methods. Here is a much shorter example of what you are
trying to do:
?php
// start with int '0'
$as_int = (int) 0x0;
var_dump($as_int);
// convert into to binary string
$as_binstr = (string) pack('C', $as_int);
var_dump($as_binstr);
// cast binary string as boolean
$as_bool = (boolean) $as_binstr;
var_dump($as_bool);
// int(0)
// string(1) !~unprintable~!
// bool(true)
You want to know WHY a single byte of all 8 bits set to '0' does not
evaluate as FALSE. I don't know the answer,
See above definition of what evaluates to FALSE. The string you have is a
one-character string containing the character NUL (0x00). It is not the empty
string, and it is not the string 0. Ergo it is TRUE, QED.
Oddly, if you start with this in the example above:
$as_int = (int) 48;
Then, the is_bool will be false!
Well, that makes sense. 48 is the ASCII code for the character '0', so packing
it in the above fashion will result in the string 0. Which is by definition
FALSE. Nothing odd there.
Cheers!
Mike

[PHP] Differentiating between POST from an application or browser
Hello, In our product, we use PHP for webservices that is inbuilt in the app. Basically, the tool calls the PHP over which is hosted over internet and communicates using XML. We send the data as raw post and in the PHP we get it as: $xmlrcvd = file_get_contents(“php://”); Now if the user accesses the page from the browser then no POST is sent and strlen($xmlrcvd) would be 0 which is correct. But file_get_contents(..) is only available from 4.3.0 and above. Calling the script below that version throws up a fatal error.

Re: [PHP] Re: order of elements in $_POST super global
Hi Mike, Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't thought of it but you are right. But I still don't think this addresses the issue of ordering. The basic problem is that the way a $_POST variable gets processed is in the order it is in on the original form. If you want to present the fields in one manner and process them in a different order, you have to either use styling tricks to change the presentation order or use some post processing to change the order of the array or use potentially a ton of if statements or as Joao suggests, a long switch statement.

It was a protection that would make it posible to upload scripts, even if you were not completly sure they were safe. So, you are concerned that someone will write a script that when RUN could purposely overwrite some other files. If I had people uploading their own code to my server, I would be concerned as well. In fact, 'concerned' is not quite a strong enough word. As far as I know, when the uploaded script runs, it will have all the same permissions that the user the webserver runs as has. So there would be no (easy) way to control the possibility that it will overwrite files, add records to your database, launch an attack on another host, send 100,000 spam messages to the whitehouse, download porn and email it to your minister, etc, etc, etc...

RE: [PHP] Restrict uploaded scripts
Wouldn't it even be posible, if the script couldn't be run directly, but had to be run through require or something like that? fre, 09 06 2006 kl. 08:38 -0400, skrev Jim Moseby: Wouldn't they still be able to overwrite each other? I don't think I expressed myself clearly. The point of the protection is to keep the scripts from overwriting each other on purpose. It was a protection that would make it posible to upload scripts, even if you were not completly sure they were safe. So, you are concerned that someone will write a script that when RUN could purposely overwrite some other files. If I had people uploading their own code to my server, I would be concerned as well. In fact, 'concerned' is not quite a strong enough word. As far as I know, when the uploaded script runs, it will have all the same permissions that the user the webserver runs as has. So there would be no (easy) way to control the possibility that it will overwrite files, add records to your database, launch an attack on another host, send 100,000 spam messages to the whitehouse, download porn and email it to your minister, etc, etc, etc...

[PHP] Tables vs. databases
Hi gang, Situation: I've a HTTP server. I intend to run a file upload service. There could be up to 1 subscribers. Each saving files up to 10 MB. I made a proof-of-concept service using PHP MySQL, where there is a single database, but many tables - a unique table for each subscriber. But I realize that I may land in trouble with such a huge database. Would it be better to have a separate database for each subscriber? Which approach is better, many tables in 1 database, or many databases with 1 or max 2 tables? Kindly suggest with pros and cons of each. Thanks Regards, Bassinger

[PHP] Session puzzle... / why no new session?
Hi,
I am working on a very simple script, basically adding
features to an older script, I'll write down the main
parts:
?php
ini_set('session.name', 'COSTREAM_SESSION');
session_start();
## authenticate user code comes here
## log the user
my_log(login,$user,$_REQUEST['COSTREAM_SESSION']);
?
and for logout.php I have:
-
ini_set('session.name', 'COSTREAM_SESSION');
session_start();
unset($_SESSION['user']);
session_destroy();
-- redirect user comes here
-
but when I check the DB the session id is always the
same hash, I should be getting new hashes everytime I
login right? I am running the logout script before
logging in again...why is it always giving me the same
hash?
What am I missing?
Thanks!

Re: [PHP] mail() function dying half way through.
On Fri, June 9, 2006 12:59 am, Dave M G wrote:
I have a database of about 120 users. Each weak I send out a
newsletter.
So far as I know, it's been working fine for the last couple of years.
Then recently some users emailed me to let me know that they haven't
been receiving all the messages. I added extra output to my script to
echo out the name of each member that got an email sent to them, and I
can now see that only about 50 of them are getting the email.
The only think that has changed that I can think of is that I've
upgraded to MySQL 5.0. However, given the type of problem I'm having,
I
don't think it's a MySQL problem, it appears much more likely to be a
problem with my PHP code.
This is the script that sends out the message (edited slightly to take
out irrelevant bits of newsletter content):
- - - -
$count = 0;
while ( $member = mysql_fetch_row($result) )
{
set_time_limit(0);
$subject = Newsletter subject line;
$mailcontent = This message was sent to . $member[0] . at
{$member[1]}
Blah, blah, blah - newsletter content goes here.;
mail($member[1], $subject, $mailcontent, $fromaddress);
mail() returns a value to indicate if it failed/succeeded in queueing
up the email.
Check it.
Also, every call to mail() fires up a sendmail process.
This is expensive.
maybe sleep(1) in between calls
or consider switching to SMTP
or sending ONE email with a Bcc... Though that has a slightly higher
probability of being labeled as spam.
$count++;
echo pNewsletter sent to . $member[0] . at . $member[1] .
/p;
}
echo pA total of .$count . emails were sent out./p\n;
- - - -
The script actually dies before it gets to the last echo which echoes
the value of $count. It outputs about 50 lines of Newsletter sent to
usersname at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then the cursor is stuck in hourglass
mode and the browser is continually waiting a response. It stays like
that indefinitely, and the only way it stops is if I go to another
page
or shut down the browser.
I have heard that the mail() function does have limitations on how
many
emails it sends out. But I thought it took hundreds, somewhere between
500 and a thousand, of individual emails before it would die. And I
also
thought the set_time_limit(0) function would alleviate the problem of
timing out.
Where have I gone wrong with this?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time
to read this.

The problem is when I iterate through the $_POST results: The order in which I wish to present the checkboxes to the end user is different than the order I want to have in the $_POST super global and subsequently when I dump that information out to a text file. You CANNOT rely on the browser to send POST data in any particular order, by the HTTP spec. While it's true that ALL known browsers send them in the order they appear in the HTML, they don't have to. And, of course, if they ever change that, a zillion scripts will break... Still, better safe than sorry. What would be the best way to solve this? Since you want them in a particular order, use the KEY of the array to order them: input type=checkbox name=array[0] / I'm first. input type=checkbox name=array[1] / I'm second. input type=checkbox name=array[2] / I'm third. 1) Is there a way to present the checkboxes in a certain order, yet have the data transmitted into the $_POST super global in a different order?

So if the form checkbox names are the same as the names of the variables in the database, it makes for easy creating of the query, since the names become associative keys in the $_POST array. I iterate through the $_POST array, checking each for true/false state. If the checkbox is checked, I add the associative key name to the query.

[PHP] Using php4 to manage Apache 1.3 access database
I'm trying to make a web page to maintain my Apache authorization file with instead of dbmmanage. Since I have to have php loaded for other reasons I started there. Problem seems to be that the OpenBSD package and port systems only seem to gdbm for php-4 and gdbm is not supported by Apache 1.3 (gdbm does seem to be supported for Apache 2 but that is not an option for me). Sort of a catch 22. Is this correct or am I more likely malforming the gdbm database or something else? Context is: OpenBSD 3.9 with default chrooted Apache 1.3 db-4.2.52p8 gdbm-1.8.3p0 php4-core-4.4.1p0 php4-dba-4.4.1p0 Ruby 1.8 supports DB files but I don't really want to move all the Ruby stuff to /var/www/ (required for the chrooted Apache install). Any suggestions? Thanks, -- Doug Carter -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Session puzzle... / why no new session?

Hi,
I am working on a very simple script, basically adding
features to an older script, I'll write down the main
parts:
?php
ini_set('session.name', 'COSTREAM_SESSION');
session_start();
## authenticate user code comes here
## log the user
my_log(login,$user,$_REQUEST['COSTREAM_SESSION']);
?
and for logout.php I have:
-
ini_set('session.name', 'COSTREAM_SESSION');
session_start();
unset($_SESSION['user']);
session_destroy();
-- redirect user comes here
-
but when I check the DB the session id is always the
same hash, I should be getting new hashes everytime I
login right? I am running the logout script before
logging in again...why is it always giving me the same
hash?
If you're logging straight back in after logging out, maybe not - the
browser might remember the old session. If you log out, close the
browser then go to the login page you should get a new id. If you want
to guarantee a new id, use http://php.net/session_regenerate_id

Re: [PHP] Tables vs. databases

[PHP] How to tell if a socket is connected
Hello, Can any of you tell me how to tell whether a socket (from fsockopen()) is connected or not? Specifically, whether the remote server has closed the connection? Stream_get_meta_data() does not do it; in my tests, its output does not change even when the server closes the stream.

[PHP] Mail sending program (beginner)
Dear group,
Description:
Following is the code which I tried for learning propuses. It is a mail
sending program
which checks weather the user enters a correct mail id If he enters the
correct mail ID then
user name and e-mail will get stored in the mysql data base table. After
getting stored
then mail will sent to the user as a accknoledg process. For the propus of
mail subject
and mail body, I have created two external files.
The problem:
Filling the rows and col in the data base is no problem at all. The value
getting stored.
But after clicking the button for accknoledg the browser takes lot of time
in execution. I doubt
with either the file handling functions or infinit loop. Or Am I missing
somthing basic? Pls mention if you faced a similear situation with file
handling and infinit loop. Thanks.
