[PHP] user password managment
Does anybody have any tips or links for creating a system for managing user's passwords. I want to make it so that when a user is created, an email is sent with a link that allows them to set their password. The link should only work for a set amount of time. I have ideas for implementing something, but I have a hunch tat there is some code already out there for this. Does anybody know of any? Thanks!
[PHP] session question
Hi, I've looked at the php session documentation, and it doesn't look like there's any way to run code when a session expires. I'd like to do some cleanup when a user's session expires, is there any way to trap this? Thanks. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] getting the phsyical path
Hi, Sorry if this is a dumb question. Is there a way in php to get the physical path the document root of my website? I want to open a file in the root of my web server, i.e. /, but I won't always know what the physical path to the web root is, and it will vary depending on the machine the web app is running on. I've tried using realpath (e.g. realpath(/)) but it doesn't really work. Thanks.
[PHP] classes and variable scope
Hi all,
If I have the following code:
$some_global_variable;
Class foo {
Function test() {
set_global();
echo $some_global_variable;
}
Function set_global () {
$some_global_variable = abcd;
echo $some_global_variable;
}
}
The first echo statement (the one inside the set_global function) prints
abcd, but the second prints nothing. How can I set the value of
$some_global_variable inside the set_global function so that it sticks?
I'm using PHP 4.3.3.
Thanks.

[PHP] bubble sort crashing apache
I've implemented my own bubble sort function that is crashing apache.
Can somebody either help me out with the bubble sort or help me figure
out a way to solve my problem with php's built in sorting functions?
This is my problem. I'm writing my own class for displaying html tables.
Right now, the only thing this class really abstracts is the sorting of
the table rows by any column ascending or descending. My table class
accepts an array of $row objects. Each $row object itself contains an
array of $cell objects. I've included the function I'm using to sort the
rows at the end of the email.
The problem I'm seeing is that after about the 3rd sort on a particular
column, apache crashes. Maybe bubble sort isn't the best sorting
algorithm, since when the user switches from ascending to descending
sort order on the same column or vice versa, I get the worst case
scenario for a bubble sort (the data is in reverse order).
Any ideas? Thanks!!
private function sort() {
$col_name = $this-order_by;
/*
** Get the column number of the column we're
** ordering by.
*/
for ($i = 0; $i count($this-col_names); $i++) {
if (strtoupper($col_name) ==
strtoupper($this-col_names[$i])) {
$col_num = $i;
break;
}
}
/*
** bubble sort
*/
for ($n = 0; $n count($this-contents); $n++) {
$sorted = true;
for ($y = 0; $y count($this-contents) - 1; $y++) {
$cell_arr_this =
$this-contents[$y]-get_cell_arr();
$cell_arr_next = $this-contents[$y +
1]-get_cell_arr();
if
($this-out_of_order($cell_arr_this[$col_num],$cell_arr_next[$col_num]))
{
$tmp_row = $this-contents[$y];
$this-contents[$y] = $this-contents[$y
+ 1];
$this-contents[$y + 1] = $tmp_row;
$sorted = false;
}
}
if ($sorted) break;
}
}
function out_of_order($val1, $val2) {
if ($this-order_dir == desc) {
if ($val2 $val1)
return true;
else
return false;
} else {
if ($val1 $val2)
return true;
else
return false;
}
}

[PHP] http response
Is it possible in php to get a hold of the response stream and see what has been sent already? I have a global php function, but it can't be called inside html form elements, because it creates its own form, and when you nest html forms things get weird. In this function, I want to check if there is already an open form tag in the response without a corresponding /form tag. Is there any way to do this? Thanks!!

[PHP] sending mail -- nullmailer
Ok, so I came across nullmailer, which seems to do exactly what I want - forward mail to an existing smtp server. But it isn't working. I'm using the mail() php function, and the mails aren't arriving. The same code works fine on a windows machine pointing to the same smtp server. Does anybody have any experience configuring nullmailer? How do I tell linux to use nullmailer as the default MTA? Thanks!!
RE: [PHP] Re: sending mail -- nullmailer
I don't want to setup and maintain a new mail server (sendmail) when we already have an smtp server set up and maintained by our sys admin. Am I crazy here? Can anybody recommend a good sendmail wrapper I can use that will work with PHP and any other apps that use sendmail?

Does anybody have any experience configuring nullmailer? How do I tell linux to use nullmailer as the default MTA? Thanks!! I don't know why do you want to replace your Linux installation MTA. Usually is sendmail or compatible and can be configured to relay messages to a SMTP server instead of deliverying them directly. Under Linux/Unix PHP just hands the message to the sendmail program. It would not make much sense to relay messages a SMTP server when sendmail can be more efficient by sending them directly to the SMTP of the recipient users, unless you are trying to send messages from a server that is blacklisted and the world is not accepting messages from it or because of some other blocking reason. Anyway, if you really want to relay messages to a SMTP server under Linux/Unix, the mail function will not do that. Instead you may want to try this class that comes with a wrapper function named smtp_mail(). It emulates the mail() function and the purpose of its arguments except that it can relay the messages a SMTP server of choice. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage You also need this: http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] sending mail
Do I need to have sendmail configured on my linux box to send mail via PHP? Thanks!
