Re: [PHP] SMS with php

2001-09-18 Thread Lewis Bergman

Due to all the questions I am posting replies to this thread to a single 
message.

 I'm very intruiged how you have got this to work it was my
 understanding you needed to be running a server, such as kannel, and have a
 contract with an smsc?
No, you don't need anything special.

 could U list the URL

http://www.radio.net/rfc1861.txt?number=1861

 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1568.txt?number=1568
This is old, Don't use it. The reason is not that any of the commands are 
unusable but there is no reason to go through the trouble of programming to 
do it to an out of date rfc.

 Thats the standard, but because of the other systems involved in delivering
 msgs then I don't think it possible just to do that without the
 co-operation of a third party smsc.
You don't need any third party anything. It is exactly like sending a request 
to a web server (get, post, header, etc...) except the port number will be 
different and the commands are different. But, the premise is the same. OPen 
a socket, send request, process response, send request . I know the 
browser is usually doing a lot of this for you but the point is that if a 
company has a gateway out there you can send messages to it.

 for those who are interested there is a good wap/sms server, open source
 and generally funky kannel (kannel.3glabs.org)
Not neccessary. You can do it with PHP, Perl, Python, C or anything else you 
can bind to a port. It is really not that difficult. If you own a wireless 
company and need to make the actual gateway all the pieces are available to 
stitch together. PHP or some other language for the internet gateway, RTNPP 
that will communicate with the actual terminal. Time is required but not a 
lot of money.

 Yes, but if you don't have a lot of traffic you can use a GSM modem as
 SMS-C. Anyway, any single message will costs as by contract with the
 carrier.

I was not aware that any carrier would attempt to charge someone trying to 
contact one of their subscribers. Surely I misunderstood you here.

I will talk to my employer about releasing the code I have. I am currently 
rewriting it for another application so I am not sure when it would be in a 
state to be released. It currently only has been tested with US based 
companies like skytel, Verizon, ATT, and the like.

There. How is that. You should still try google. You might turn up more to 
help you.

Re: [PHP] SMS with php

2001-09-16 Thread Lewis Bergman

 Hi,
 
 Does anyone know how to send a sms message to a handphone using PHP?
 
 Thanks and regards,
 Alva Chew
I have a class that does it. It is very easy. See the RFC on SNPP and some 
use standard mail servers.

Re: [PHP] foreach vs. while(list() = each())

2001-04-11 Thread Lewis Bergman

 One apparent problem with foreach() is it can misbehave code as
 follows. (4.0.4pl1, 4.0.5RC6)
 
 function foo($a) {
   foreach ($a[0] as $k = $v) {
  echo $k.$v;
   }
 }
 
 $a = 'abc';
 foo($a);
 
 You'll get 'server not found' or browser waiting forever with this
 code. (If you don't, please let me know)
 
Good point but I wouldn't characterize a launguage's or function's 
expectation that you use correct syntax as a problem.

Re: [PHP] Page not found error

2001-03-04 Thread Lewis Bergman

 if I leave my browser on a php and then I click a link after lets say 5
 or 10 minutes that links to another php page it says page not found
 even though the page is there.  has anybody else experienced this
 error?
Is this link passed as a value or something that might expire with a 
session? Just a wild guess.

Re: [PHP] stumped on mailing a complete page

2001-03-03 Thread Lewis Bergman

 This question may have been asked a million times, but I have had no
 luck searching for a difinitive answer.
 
 I want to send a confirmation email upon receiving an order, and would
 like to send the page that I display on the browser to the user.
 
 I can not figure out how to send a page, like the links that let you
 mail a page to a friend on some sites.  Any help would be much
 appreciated.
 
 Thanks,
 Brett
Lets be clear. Do you want to send the page or just the important values 
from the page?

One way I do this is like this:
$successPage =EOF
centerh1SUCCESS!!/h1/center
lots of 
stuff
here.
A whole html page.
EOF

then you mail it like this
   mail('order.money.com', $headers, $successPage);

or you just loop through all the post vars and build a body from that and 
mail it.

Re: [PHP] strange think with 'mail()'

2001-03-01 Thread Lewis Bergman

 mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]","subjekt","inhalt",
 "Content-Type: text/html\nFrom: [EMAIL PROTECTED]");
 
 the mail reaches me, is readable, but on the next
 time i start netscape its GONE ?
 I tryed some other header pieces, but all get the
same effekt.
What do the headers look like when it arrives? I suspect it disappears 
because they are screwed up. I would seperate them with '\r\n' instead of 
just '\n'.

[PHP] Zend IDE price plans

2001-01-27 Thread Lewis Bergman

Is anyone else dissappointed in the limited pricing options of the Zend IDE?
I would love to buy the commercial license as about half of my work would 
fall into that.

My problem is I don't want or need anything except the IDE. Are there other 
people in this same boat? 

I would like the IDE but don't want to pay for a bunch of stuff I don't 
want or need. I would think that there is some middle-goround somewhere. 
More than $50.00 for the personal license but less than the $850.00 for the 
whole big ball of wax.

I would love to hear what others are thinking on this subject.

 They can charge the big companies who pay the microsoft tax for the

 You mean like the Commercial Subscription ($70/month) ?? The Encoder SE
 is available with that plan. In fact, that's almost the whole idea
 behind the Commercial subscription: to allow a very low entry for
 access to the Encoder technology.
As I said before, This encoder stuff may be great for companies that sell 
software and that kind of recurring $70 cost make sense when you are 
selling a product. But, If you are an occasional freelance programmer or 
use php for just your companies sight you could probably care less about 
encoding.

I just want the debugger. Thats it. I hope they make some kind of allowance 
for this as was hinted before but that isn't what Zend told me when I 
inquired about it. They just said "No, but your opinions are considered". 
Obviously Zend can do whatever they want with their own products. I just 
think that something between illeagal and everything should be offered to 
maximize sales.

Also, Does anyone know if the IDE works on the snapshots? I didn't see 
anything to preclude it but it seemed to come packaged with a PHP version. 
I wouldn't want to give up the ability to code with the latest function to 
use an IDE. I guess I could just do without for that instance.
