the DateTime class uses an unsigned 64 bit integer to represent the unix
timestamp internally. as a result it can handle such dates w/o a problem.
php $dt1 = date_create('1856-02-27');
php $dt2 = date_create('1855-12-03');

Subject: [PHP] PHP on Windows
I'm completely new to php and I'm trying to setup an online trouble ticket
system. After the user logs in and submits the ticket, they're supposed to
receive an email confirmation with the ticket number. I have my Exchange
server setup on another server in the same domain that I'm trying to use to
send these emails - this server requires SMTP authentication. So I've
installed the PEAR Mail package, as it was my understanding that this would
allow me to do the authentication for the SMTP server - I installed it in
the C:\PHP5\PEAR directory. Do I need this mail package for the
authentication? In any case, where do I setup the authentication variables
to send this email? I tried adding the authentication vars to the
smtp.phpfile in the C:\PHP5\PEAR\Mail directory, but still not
authenticating. I'm
completely lost, any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for some piece of code or class which giving a phone number it returns me from wich country is this phone. Do you know where I can find something like this? Thank you in advanced! As a little project, I took the link provided by the other Rob and make this little search tool. It only looks at the beginning numbers. It does no number validation. I don't validate the length of the number. ie: I would have to know the min/max lenth of each phone number for that given country/region, and I didn't search for that information. You can't check for length, that depends on each national administration and while some countries have all phone numbers exactly the same length, some other countries do it the old style: small phone exchanges have few digits, larger have more, which gets compensated by the smaller exchanges having longer area codes. The idea is that within small towns, you dial short numbers to reach your neighbour and, if someone dials from outside the area, they have to dial a longer area code prefix, but since the town is small, there is a lesser chance that many people will have any business dialing them anyway so, overall, you get to dial less. Also, in electromechanical phone exchanges, each extra digit (actually couple of digits) requires an extra row of 'selectors', which are (were) expensive. This still happens at the country level, not because it really matters nowadays but due to the existing technology when it was agreed on it. Large countries in Latin America have two digit country codes (political maneuvering at the time of assignment distorted this somewhat, letting Peru and Cuba get 2 digits which don't fit their actual number of phone lines). Thus, from 51 to 58 they are assigned to the larger countries. The 59x and 50x ranges (in phone numbering the zero is after the nine within the same decade) go to countries with less phone lines.

Mr. Heyes more or less prompted me to go dig for my other, slightly
heavier version, that doesn't chop words up:
Sorry I hit Reply instead Reply All. Regardless, here's my str_curtail.
There is a bug in it that means if the string is all one word then it
gets curtailed to nada, but that's easily fixed.

*/
function str_curtail($str, $length = 35, $append = '...')
{
// String short enough already ?
if (strlen($str) = $length) {
return $str;

depending on how you configure curl, the data can be in different places.
the easiest way (i think) is to use the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option. then
the response will be returned from curl_exec() (rather than a boolean
success flag).
here is sample code from a consumer and a provider; theyre up on my server

where I replace SERVER with POST etc and I can't find the string '?xml

and when it is set to $_SERVER as listed above I get the expected array

maybe try

to see if you have that component of pear installed. pear is a component
based system, which means even if you have pear installed, there are tons of
libraries you can use it to install. if you type
pear info DB
and nothing comes up, then likely you need to install it with
pear install DB

hmm, it looks to me like you want to post a bunch of raw data to the
server. im not sure exactly how to do that w/ the php curl functions...
everything ive seen uses CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to supply an associative array
of data to be posted. in this case you could easily send you data across by
choosing a name for the index, something like 'postdata', anything will do,
then it will be accessible on the system youre posting to via
$_POST['postdata'].
also, inlooking at your usage of CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, i dont believe youre
using it correctly, i think youre just supposed to put a string
representing the desired http method in there, so something like 'HEAD',
'PUT', or in this case 'POST'. then you would supply the data as i said
earlier, using CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS. so in all, i think something like this
would work for you,
$post = '?xml version=1.0
encoding=UTF-8?Data'.
$vendorCompanyID.'/Data';
$message = generatePage($page, $post);
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('postdata' = $message));
$data=curl_exec($ch);
and also, in reading the warning about CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, you might just
go with CURLOPT_POST = true, since you arent using an obscure http method.
im not sure exactly how to determine if the server supports this method or
not. anyway, i found this in 'man curl_easy_setopt' (thats the manpage for
the c function php uses for the CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST option).
Many people have wrongly used this option to replace the
entire request with their own, including multiple headers and POST contents.
While that might
work in many cases, it will cause libcurl to send invalid
requests and it could possibly confuse the remote server badly. Use
CURLOPT_POST and CUR-

replace or extend the set of headers sent by libcurl. Use

[PHP] Importing and exporting from MySQL, escape slash problem
PHP List, MySQL List In my PHP environment, I have Magic Quotes turned off, and I use the mysql_real_escape_string() function clean strings of SQL syntax before inserting them into my database. So the data stored in my database does not have escape characters in it. Particularly, double and single quotes don't have slashes in front of them. This seems to work fine so long as I'm reading data into and out of the database from within my scripts. However, when I backup and import databases - I use the phpMyAdmin interface - they have escape slashes in front of every double and single quote characters. I'm not sure if it's on the export or import where they get added in. I've looked through the phpMyAdmin online documentation, and I can't see any option to control the presence of escape slashes. It seems to me that if it adds them in when exporting, it should take them out when importing. Or vice versa, but in either case be consistent. I just want my database to be exactly as it is before any export or import options. I'm a little muddled as to where I'm making the mistake. Can anyone advice on the best practice for preserving my database as is when backing up and restoring? Thanks for any advice. -- Dave M G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Larry,
I'm sorry that I'm not certain what you mean by remote XML
server, since XML is a markup language and a server (in this context)
insinuates an HTTP (protocol) web server, but perhaps a combination of
file_get_contents() and the information from the following manual
entry will help you.

RE: [PHP] reading incoming xml
You can get what you post either with:
$postText = trim(file_get_contents('php://input');
Or with:
$postText = $GLOBALS[HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA];
About HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA http://us2.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php
Read the notes here http://us2.php.net/variables.predefined
It should be noted that $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA only exists if the encoding type of
the data is -not- the default of application/x-www.form-urlencoded, and so, to
accessing raw post data from an HTTP form requires setting enctype= in your
HTML.
So, if $RAW_POST_DATA doesn't exist, it is because you should be able to use
$_POST (unless you set PHP to always populate raw post data in php.ini). The
preferred method is, however, to read 'php://input'
Then after you get the XML body, you must use one of the XML extensions
available in PHP to parse the XML data (search for it as it's not part of this
help pack ;) ).

RE: [PHP] reading incoming xml
This is what I was looking for. Thank you. I could not change the
client since that client is being used for other servers in its current
configuration. All I needed was a way to get to the XML string coming
in.
$postText = trim(file_get_contents('php://input');
worked perfectly. Now that I have this blob of XML I can give it to
simpleXML or another parser I was recently shown to work with it. I'm
surprised it was so difficult to find. $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA']
was empty by the way and that I'd seen before.
Also, sorry if I threw anyone off by referring to the other server the
client works with as an XML server. I only referred to it as such
because it is a server that accepts XML input and responds with XML
output to a number of clients. It is not used as a typical html server
for browsing etc.
Anyway, I was looking to get a hold of the raw data coming in and it
looks like this was it. I really do appreciate the help...

[PHP] Anyone jump from Studio 5.5.x - Zend Eclipse?
Hi all, I've tried googling around to find some blogs with decent information on whether Zend Eclipse is mature enough to make the jump over from 5.5.x just yet. Admittedly, I've dropped Zend Studio as of late and been writing all of my code in TextMate -- but at the end of the day when a project is complex enough, Zend Studio is much more powerful than TextMate with all of its features and remote debugging capabilities. Anyhow, I'm curious if it's worth it to check out Zend Eclipse yet. We're a team of about 5-6 developers and I've been getting asked by a few colleagues if I've tried it out yet since I'm usually the one to try out the newer technologies. I'd love to hear some feedback. Thanks! /sf -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
