The SMTP or POP3 protocol (cant remember which) used to support the
ability to connect to the server and verify if a username exists
before delivering the mail. But this feature was abused and was used
for spamming so it is now disabled on all major servers (it's probably
disabled by default in all servers anyway).
There is no way to verify (without sending an email) if the email will
be received in a mailbox.

Use login smtp with authenticate
Include Domain Keys and SPF in your message header. Many incoming mail servers use them to verify
mail. I've not had one email rejected since using them.

Even that is not a valid test. Most spam filters will discard messages
silently, that is without notifying either sender or recipient. So the
only real verification is when you receive an actual reply from the
recipient.

I have a function that currently takes a boolean value as a parameter.
But now I want to expand it to 3 options... So if I have...
function doFooBar($doFoo = false)
{
if($doFoo)
{ echo Did Foo; }
else
{ echo Did Bar; }
}
Is it as simple as changing it like follows to avoid having to
change existing code that won't use the new values.
function doFooBar($doFoo = 0)
{
if($doFoo == 2)
{ echo Did Baz; }
else if($doFoo == 1)
{ echo Did Foo; }
else
{ echo Did Bar; }
}
Something about that disturbs me. Perhaps because any time I think Oh
it will be as simple as... it usually isn't.
Thanks in advance!

Why not this:
function doFooBar($doFoo = 0)
{
switch ($doFoo) {
case 2:
echo Did Baz;
break;
case 1:
echo Did Foo;
break;
default:
echo Did Bar;
break;
}
}
I think in this way you can avoid future problems in case you need to add
other options in this param.
Hope helps.

Hello, on 04/28/2009 12:40 PM Jay Blanchard said the following: Our company wants to do e-mail verification and does not want to use the requests / response method (clicking a link in the e-mail to verify the address), which as we all know is the only way you can be truly sure.

This is exactly what this Open Source PHP class does since many years ago, except that this class can handle grey listing responses. http://www.phpclasses.org/emailvalidation Basically it returns 3 possible responses: valid, invalid, and undetermined. Valid, means the SMTP server would accept the message (although it may reject it later). Invalid means the SMTP server would reject the message. Undetermined means that for message would not be accepted now, but could be accepted later, which is usually what servers that implement greylisting cause. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Re: Unit Testing
You are right, when doing unit tests you only want to test the functionality
of the current class and so if there are errors its easier to track down
which class is causing the problem.
I personally use an api called SimpleTest for my php testing and what you
can do with this is create Mock objects for substituting the objects that
you dont need to test. A Mock object is basically a clone of a classes
structure which then allows you to do stuff like set the return values of
each function or perform tests on the parameters passed to each function.
Ive not used PHPUnit so im not sure if you can do something similar.

testing once the component is ready and working fine. If your project
is large, it might be a good idea to break it in several 'modules' or
section if possible and treat each of them as separate projects
(testing would be done on a module once this one is ready).
You may be interested in looking for information on the net on 'IT
project management' which usually describe when is the best time to
test according to a certain structure...

We have an application that's currently in production, but we're
constantly modifying/upgrading it. We did not do unit testing early on
because of the lack of time. Now that some time has opened up, we're
considering unit testing. My question is. is it reasonable to start
unit
testing at this point in time with the application mostly built? Besides
being really time-consuming, what are the pitfalls of starting unit
testing
at this stage?
Thanks in advance,
~Philip
maybe a useless answer, but, no pitfalls - just do it - I'm always
surprised
by my unit test results, its invaluable and it's never too late to start.
just think about the next years worth of bugs found by the client not
being
there!
A question I have about unit testing. The point is to test individual
units... correct? So, let's say I have this core class which creates
instances of other classes. Well, if I only want test the core class, I
don't want to instantiate the other classes... correct? Example:
?php
// Core.php
require ('Class1.php');
require ('Class2.php');
class Core {
public function __construct () {
$this-class1 = new Class1 ($this);
$this-class2 = new Class2 ($this);
}
}
// CoreTest.php
require ('../PHPUnit/Framework.php');
require ('../includes/Core.php');
class CoreTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
protected function setUp () {
$this-core = new Core();
}
}
?
So, here, Class1 and Class2 will be instantiated. However, I don't really
care for them to be so that I can test all the methods in the core class. Is
this a perfect example of how the original design of the core class is not
conducive to implementing unit tests? Without rewriting the core class, is
there a way to test this?
Thanks,
~Philip

[PHP] Programming Question
Hi Folks, I'm a PHP newbie - but this question really isn't about PHP per se', it's more about programming in general, and how to do something... I'm redesigning an ASP site with Dreamweaver CS4, so I'll be sticking to using ASP technology The site will use horizontal navigation for the MAIN MENU which will be static, but each page therein will have a vertical sub menu, probably with 2-3 levels deep - which will need to be dynamic. I'm trying to figure out a good way to organize and maintain the submenus. I need each page to know where it is so the breadcrumb trail can be accurate and dynamic. The page/menu will also need to know how to display the correct submenu/level.hopefully this all can be dynamic I also want to avoid query string parameters, such as page.asp?menu=1submenu=3 type stuff. My current thought is to use URL rewriting and a database - but I'm not sure if this is the best route Does anyone have any suggestions? HELP!

Unless you're doing a strict comparison (===), it probably won't make
a lot of difference. However, if you sent true to the function, I
believe it will reach the last else condition. You may revisit all the
locations you call it and update them appropriately.
Those are my initial thoughts

At a very basic level I think a database is overkill. I would write
some sort of include for the top most menu, that includes a function to
generate the sub menus and a breadcrumb trail. This is psuedo-code, but
here's the idea:
// Include top menu and some functions.
include('menu-lib.php');
// Build sub-menu, using my location.
echo build_sub_menu('Contact', 'Sales quot; Marketing');
This way you can maintain all the menu/breadcrumb/etc in one file, and
have the information you need in each page to generate it.
HTH,

No, true will match the first condition. If you're using true and false
now and just want to add a second option then continue using true/false.
Don't mix and match. 1 == true and 2 == true.
function doFooBar($doFoo = false)
{
if($doFoo === 2) {
//something

elseif($doFoo === true) {
//something true

Ah. I somehow missed the direction of the typecasting. Not that the
documentation isn't completely explicit on the matter but for some
reason I was thinking that the bool got cast to 1 or 0... not that the
string/number got cast to a bool (following the standards there).
Good to know.

[PHP] file_get_contents doesn't work on one particular server
Howdy all - We have a production server that runs our script fine.
We're setting up a test server, and this particular script returns a
length of zero:
$ctx = stream_context_create(array('http' = array('timeout' =
1200))); // 20 minutes per file
$contents = file_get_contents($full_url, 0, $ctx);
You can paste the $full_url into a browser and it works fine (it's
always a PDF document). It works fine with the same variables on the
production server. Is there some configuration option that we've
missed that's preventing it from working? Note that this is all https,
and I did notice this difference in the phpinfo() but don't know if
it's relevant:
Production server: PHP 5.2.6
Registered PHP streams: php, file, data, http, ftp, compress.zlib,
compress.bzip2, https, ftps, zip

Right, and I figured out the bit that was confusing me earlier: years ago, I read that some encodings such as #0147; and #0148; (curly quotes) should not be used, that #8220; and #8221; should be used instead. I misremembered that, when I looked at the utf-8 charset here: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8-t1.html I stand apprised and enlightened. I found the encodings for letters G with breve, S with cedilla, and lower case I w/out the dot, too.

Most likely allow_url_fopen = Off in the test server php.ini. If you
had error reporting on it would tell you.

Sorry, didn't pay attention to the registered streams :-(
You need to install a PHP package with ssl or compile it with
--with-openssl.

[PHP] DateInterval
Hello, I would like to know how to correctly use DateInterval::format(). The documentation is unclear. Also, I am willing to write some documentation for the DateInterval and DatePeriod if no one has taken the task. Thanks for the help. Mike -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] DateInterval
Sounds great Mike. I personally would also like to see standard date/time functions (strtotime, strftime, date, etc) support dates greater than 2038. I think this can be done internally by parsing the datetime value swith the DateInterval object and retuning the results to the standard functions.

[PHP] Two very useful PHP functions
Hello, Every so often I have to be using the isset() function to check if a variable exists. It would be useful to have something like an ifset() function Instead of doing this $v = isset($input) ? $input : $default; we can do this $v = ifset($input,$default); // returns $input if it exists otherwise it will return $default We could also do the same for the empty() function. So instead of doing this $v = empty($input) ? $default : $input; we can do this $v = ifempty($input,$default); // returns $input if it is not empty otherwise it will return $default What do you think? Can they make it into 5.3? Best regards __ Raymond Irving
Re: [PHP] DateInterval
Here is something i'd like to point out with DateInterval.
$dInt = 'PT4320S';
$d = new DateInterval($dInt);
var_dump($d);
$dz = new DateTimeZone(UTC);
$dt = new DateTime('now',$dz);
$dt-add($d);
var_dump($dt-format(DATE_ATOM));
It appears that running this code fails when it seems like it should work.
$dInt = 'PT43200S';
$d = new DateInterval($dInt);
var_dump($d);
$dz = new DateTimeZone(UTC);
$dt = new DateTime('now',$dz);
$dt-add($d);
var_dump($dt-format(DATE_ATOM));
Please note the first value in $dInt should be 72 minutes, while the
later should be 720 minutes or half of a day
The PT12H interval seems to work fine.
$dInt = 'PT12H';
$d = new DateInterval($dInt);
var_dump($d);
$dz = new DateTimeZone(UTC);
$dt = new DateTime('now',$dz);
$dt-add($d);
var_dump($dt-format(DATE_ATOM));
Raymond, have you tried using DateTime::modify? It appears to work like
strtotime.
also DateTime::format works like date. At least as far as I can tell.

At least as far as I can tell. From the little documentation that I've seen it appears that it's similar to strtotime and date but it would be very good if the PHP devs could make strtotime() and date() become wrappers for DateTime::modify and DateTime::format. This way we dont hae to modify our code when moving to a version of PHP that supports the new DateTime class. __ Raymond Irving -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
