I haven't build any yet but here some ideas. If the subscribers are getting the exact same material, you could do batch fetch of several say 20 or more of email address (check with your SMTP server limit) and send them all via BCC. You could knock that out easily. If only some subscribers get the same content, you can then fetch the batch email addresses by filtering the content they're supposed to receive. The speed at which your email goes out depends on the SMTP server (delay, queue, hardware, attachment size, etc). Here's a pseudo code: // fetch email addresses in batch size - within limit of SMTP server // create email with addresses in BCC - loop through batch to create BCC // send mail. // update db for the sent addresses // rinse and repeat until all emails are sent.

Subject: [PHP] Sanitizing potential MySQL strings with no database connection
How can I configure mysql_real_escape_string() to _not_ need a
database connection in order to do it's work on a string. I understand
that the function wants a database connection to determine which
charset / encoding is in use, but in my case it will always be UTF-8.
I have a file of reusable functions that I include in several scripts,
one of them is a MySQL sanitation function, like this:
function clean_mysql ($dirty) {
$dirty=trim($dirty);
$clean=mysql_real_escape_string($dirty);
return $clean;
}
As different scripts reuse this code but connect to different
databases, I need the function to work independently of the database
connection. In other words, the include file cannot connect to the
database but it still must perform the mysql_real_escape_string()
function on UTF-8 data.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Dotan,
I don't think so since the mysql_real_escape_string() requires a connection
handler. Why not use bind param?

Here is a problem that I have had for years now. I have been trying to come up

Now, we all have a function or method like this floating around somewhere.
My question is, how do YOU go about setting the required entries of the $headers

[...]
END of examples...
Now, IMO, the last one is the simplest one and for me, I think it will be the
new way that I solve this type of problem.
But, my question that I put out to all of you is...
How would you solve this problem?
I have use this array_merge() approach mentioned in other posts for
quite some time but found that it introduced many bugs when fieldnames changed.
Ie. if the defaults come from a database table and I changed the schema it
caused undefined values during the merging and - worse - sometimes messed up the
inner workings of functions...
Then I heard of the value object approach somewhere and found that much more
solid. One would basically define a class where default values are represented
by its properties. Ie:
class vo_email extends vo {
public $to = '';
public $from = '';
public $subject = '(no subject)';
public $body = '';
...
}
the constructor can make sure that absolutly necessary values are required and
set properly - and could complain if something is not right. There could be
methods that add() or set() or change() things. These could also be inherited
from a very generic class vo so that this stuff is written once and applies
to all sorts of defaults in the program.
In my app the inherited constructor accepts arrays as parameter and assigns
their elements to the object properties and - by that - overwrites the default
settings. If elements do not match with the defined properties it will trigger
a very visible call trace.
A function like sendEmail() would then require a object of type vo_email as
parameter and would work with its properties internally and can rely on it as
the vo's constructor should have catched anything bad.
If additional logic for the input values is required, it can be added easily:
class dao_email extends vo_email {
...
public function encode_body() {
...
}
public function sanitize_mail_address() {
}
...
}
This is a very interesting approach. How would you initialize the class? Using
a Singleton Method, or a Globally available class variable?
sendEmail() would then require a dao_email object (dao=data access object) as
input.

Hi,
i would use here two Classes to do this. A Class like Configuration
where the Mail Configuration is implemented. Configuration class load
the Configuration. There you can use Arrays like
$mailConf = array( 'to' = array('type' = 'string', 'required' = true ) );
( You can use the parse_ini_file() method to load the Configuration from
a ini file too )
The Configuration Class can be accessed with get and set methods (your
own or magic)
$conf = $conf-getMailConfiguration(); (return the Array )
And you can use the set method like this:
$conf-setMailConfiguration( Array( values ... ) )
Here you can send a exception if the needed or required items are not set
And set it this into the mail class with
$mail-setConfiguration( mailConfiguration $mailConf )
At this point you can get the values from Object $mailConf
may be helps

Carlos

If you have trouble with .html files as well then it almost sounds like a firewall issue since your connection hangs until timeout. Try this to see if the webserver is accepting a connection: telnet 127.0.0.1 80 Then type the two lines below, ending each one with the enter key (new line) HEAD / HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1 (hit enter once more) And you should get an answer from your server, mine looks like this: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2009 09:49:16 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.13 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.13 OpenSSL/0.9.8k DAV/2 SVN/1.6.5 PHP/5.3.0 with Suhosin-Patch Content-Type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1 Connection closed by foreign host. Does this work? John, Opening a *.HTM file from Windows Explorer goes well. It's not the same thing as using your web browser and try to view the *.HTM file(s) through IIS. Notice the protocol difference file:// vs http://. So the webserver is accepting a connection ... Nevertheless, where should I enter: telnet 127.0.0.1 80 ? From the OS prompt C:\ ? In a command prompt. Directory path doesn't matter. From the C:\ prompt, I did: telnet 127.0.0.1 80[Enter] HEAD / HTTP/1.1[Enter] Host: 127.0.0.1 [Enter] [Enter] but all I get is a black window ... Looks like John was right about the firewall. What service pack did you have before your recent windows update? You'll need to disable the firewall in services and try the telnet again. Tommy, I did and do have Windows XP SP3. My firewall was turned off. I turned it On, but http://127.0.0.1/.../phpinfo.php is not working. I turned it Off, and http://127.0.0.1/.../phpinfo.php is not working and telnet commands don't show anything ... Any other idea ? TIA, Cor 1) Did you run that command for granting permission of NETWORK SERVICE for the c:\tmp? and restart IIS? A: yes, I did restart IIS after every change in php.ini 2) run 'netstat -ano' without the single quote in the command prompt and show me what you see.

As for following a convention, just get the PHP terminology right, That is what I was hoping to learn! or at least agree on your on bastardized terminology.

[PHP] Re: PHP broadcast mailer
Hello, on 10/17/2009 02:41 AM Brian Hazelton said the following: I am in charge of an email newsletter list and making sure it gets sent out in time. My problem is I have never done broadcast emailing and right now we have 400 subscribers but want to build a system that can scale well regardless of the number of subscribers. Right now I use mysql to store the email and use phpmailer in a loop to send an email to each of the emails in the db, it is already slow with just 400(takes around 10 min (i think that's slow isnt it?). Has anyone built a broadcast email script and willing to help me? I use the MIME message mailer class which has optimizations specifically for sending messages to many recipients. Take a look at the test_personalized_bulk_mail.php example script. Also keep in mind that for sending many messages, queueing messages in an SMTP server is the slowest method of all.

On 17-Oct-09, at 12:01 AM, Brian Hazelton wrote: I am sorry, but I am confused by your question. I thought that these companies worked with email providers to stay off the blacklists? --- They do - my point exactly. You may be fine for a small mass e-mail campaign (you mentioned 400 but growing). But if you do grow to the point of something getting triggered, and your URL or server, or worse, your ISP, gets black-listed, it may be hard to undo the damage. Am not sure what sort of limits any of these will allow before they start thinking you are spamming. Or how big you have to be to be considered trust-worthy to be allowed to send multiple e-mails. My main ISP (shaw.ca - 100s of 1,000s of customers) has gotten blacklisted a number of times, and suddenly friends would get e-mails to my @shaw address rejected, and had to start using one of my other addresses. A very tiny mail list I belonged to (40 people if even that) refused to send to all of its @shaw members, and I ended up re- registering under a different address because it happened enough times. The company I work for has internal clamps that get triggered if anyone tries to send to more than 50 addresses. They also run a separate mail server from their web site hosting. The site is hosted on Amazon's Cloud - a huge company, and yet every one of their IPs are black-listed: http://searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com/news/article/0,289142,sid201_gci1371369,00.html The result was that even just a single e-mail to confirm registration to the member-only section of the site was getting flagged as spam by hotmail, or rejected outright by some other mail servers. Kinda hard to complete a registration if you never see the e- mail! We ended up relaying through our own mail server, which is fine for a one-at-a-time e-mail. But at over 50,000 customers, I have been strongly recommending the use of service if they do decide to start any mass e-mail newsletters or campaigns. Anyway, my point is - how important is this part of your business, and would it be worth the $ cost to use a service, rather than building, maintaining and potentially protecting your own?

Re: [PHP] Sanitizing potential MySQL strings with no database connection

Why not use bind param? Thanks. I just googled bind param but I am still a bit unclear as to what is going on. To be clear, I have a file of functions that I use in many scripts, lets call it functions.inc. One of the functions calls mysql_real_escape_string() but in order to do that it looks like I have to connect to a database. However, different scripts connect to different databases, and some do not connect to a database at all, so I cannot simple connect to a database from the functions.inc file as that will interfere with the database connections going on in the scripts including that file. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php I assumed the reason you wanted to do escape the string so that you could perform DB operations. In your select/insert/update class(es)/function(s), you could just use prepare statement and bind param. Thus, no need to escape the string to protect against injection. It's also faster if by chance you're doing several updates/inserts due to the nature of prepare statement. You could use a call back function in case you have a varying size array of parameters, making your code more adaptable and somewhat smaller. I generally prefer using prepare statement + bind param over escape string + query for speed and flexibility. http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.prepare.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli-stmt.bind-param.php have good examples.
