Re: [PHP] return path of mail function

[sub]

 You are better off using the 5th paramater to mail() instead..
  mail($to, $sub, $msg, $headers, -f $return);


And what if that doesn't work? Is there a 3rd way of doing it that might
work?

Safe mode is indeed off and sendmail_from has no value. I've modified the

$orig_sendmail_from = ini_get('sendmail_from');
ini_set('sendmail_from', $return);

mail($to, $sub, $msg, $headers);

Still doesn't work. I also tried modifying the5th argument as
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] neither of those worked either.

I'm not sure what i'm missing here. If it would help to view the phpinfo
from my host, you may do so here http://drewpydraws.com/phpinfo.php

 No space between -f and the email.

 I assume your host doesn't have safe-mode on? (You can't use this method
 if so).

 Check a phpinfo page and look for:

 sendmail_from

 If that's set, this way won't do it either, you'll need to do:

 $orig_sendmail_from = ini_get('sendmail_from');

 // this should match what phpinfo tells you but replace the email. so
 might be '-f'.$return_path
 ini_set('sendmail_from', $return_path);

 mail($to, $sub, $msg, $headers);

 and leave off the last parameter.

[PHP] defined

[sub]

I'm having kind of a weird problem I want $MailSubject to contain a the value 
prayer unless I tell it other wise. 

// on a form processor. 
$MailSubject = Praise;
include_once(mailit.php);

// then in mailit.php
include form2mail.php;

// and in formtomail.php
if(!defined($MailSubject)) // This is the problem line
{
   $MailSubject = Prayer; 
}

The problem I believe is with the defined function check. (I think) the value 
of $MailSubject is maintained to the end so I'm don't think it to be a scope 
issue, but also, if I don't assign a value to it it should be running the if() 
statement, but it's not. 

Any thoughts?

Re: [PHP] problem with Mail function

This may be a bit to obvious, but I miss little stuff all the time.

You wouldn't happen to have the if(mail(...)) in some form of loop would
you?

or perhaps $to is getting assigned the e-mail address like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] can you check the value of $email
before you assign it?

[PHP] readdir() and files with numbers

[sub]

I'm having a really weird problem. My code works, unless the images start with 
a number, then I get a 500 error. If they start with a letter it's fine. 

some example of problem files:
178_image.jpg
0005396C.jpg

the whole reason I wrote this code was so that I wouldn't have to rename all my 
files to pic1, pic2, etc...

What I find truely crazy, is that I can rename 178_image.jpg to 
a178_image.jpg and everything is fine.  How can I work with file names that 
start with numbers?

if ($handle = opendir(galleries/$path/$group/pics/thumb/))

   {

Re: [PHP] syntax for multiple boolean

[sub]

You could write what your code does now like this.

if (empty ($fname) || empty ($sname) || empty ($address))
{
// do something
}

If you want your first condition to be met and one of your second two
conditions to be met you can do it like this:

if (empty ($fname)  (empty ($sname) || empty ($address)))
{
// do something
}

Of course the first example will run the code if any of the fields are
empty. The second will run it if the first and second or third are empty.
Hope that helps.

[PHP] login check

[sub]

 
I think this is the way I need to write my if statement. 

if ( $min  $user[ min ] == $min  $user[ pin ] == $pin || $pin == 
'allow')

$min login name entered by the customer at the form. 
$user[min] is the login name from my sql db that matches $min
$user[pin] is the password from mysql db that matches $min
$pin is the password that is entered by the user

There's 4 checks
1) $min must have a value
2)  $user[ min ] must equal $min 
3) $user[ pin ] must equal $pin 
4) $pin == 'allow'

I want it so that both 1 and 2 must be true and either 3 or 4 must be true.

Re: [PHP] Running a PHP script everyday [SOLVED]

[sub]

What a convoluted mess.

Rather than using the shebang at the begging of the PHP file I had to put it
in the cron command
/usr/local/bin/php public_html/wap/mailer/dailylist.php

It will now run.

But then I had to slightly redesign the HTMLMimeMail code. I had to define
some of it as functions and include the file as a function definition rather
than include the direct code. I also had to change my include statements to
this include public_html/wap/mailer/sending.php; With this type of
include I can no longer run it from a browser, but I really didn't want to
do that anyways.

Thanks for all your help.

Re: [PHP] Help with Functions

[sub]

I would recomend for sanity and clean code that you define your functions
outside of the file you will be calling it from and include that file in any
file you need to call a function from.

Here's a function that I defined in my db.php file.

/***
 * FUNCTION: DBCheckByMin($min)
 * DESCRIPTION: Checks to see if the user's min already exists
 * RETURNED: exist (1 or 0)
 **/
function DBCheckByMin($min)
{
$record = mysql_query( SELECT `min` FROM `user` WHERE `min` LIKE '$min' );

for($i=0; $holder[$i]=mysql_fetch_array( $record ); $i++);

if($min==$holder[0][0])
 {
  $exist=1;
 }
else
 {
  $exist=0;
 }
return $exist;
}

The first line of the file I call this function in includes my function
list:
include db.php;

And my call to the function itself:
$check=DBCheckByMin($min);



Let's say my user is entering his MIN as 1234567890

What the function does is catch the value of the variable $min which is
1234567890 when it's called and pass it to the function. Then DBCheckByMin
takes the value 1234567890 and assignes it to the variable $min. (I've named
both variables the same so I know what they are) Now that the function has
it's own variable, $min that has a value of 1234567890 It then does some
basic SQL work to find if that MIN already exists in my databse. Then it
sets $exist to either 1 or 0. It sets it to 1 if this is a duplicate entry
and 0 if it's not a duplicate. And let's just say that it did indeed find a
duplicate record so $exist will have the value of 1.  Next on the return
line, the function sends back the value of $exist which is 1. Please
remember when I called the function I had a variable before the function was
called $check=DBCheckByMin($min);  This way $check will catch whatever
value the function returns, in this case, that value is 1. Now that check
has a value which indicates that this user already exists I can send a
message to the user saying that it already exists and to try again.

Did that make a bit more sense about how variables are passed between
functions? It's all in the call and definition.

Subject: [PHP] Help with Functions


I am trying to start using functions on some pages to layout a header
row in a table.
I have defined the function as below...

?php
function (headerrow)
{ ?
table width=750 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
bgcolor=#FF0066
tr
  td class=table_head?php echo $tablehead; ?/td
  td width=20img src=/nav/images/pspromo_table_rhs.gif
width=20 height=20/td
/tr
/table
?php
}
?


What I can't seem to work out is a way to set the text. Here I've
echoed the $tablehead value, but it I was to use more than one table
on the same page then it wouldn't work. Can I do something like
headerrow(text goes here) or something?
I can't understand the use of arguments and it's really confusing me!
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,

Tom

Re: [PHP] Running a PHP script everyday

[sub]

In my pevious hunt through cron I didn't even notice the PHP CLI. So I will be 
figuring that out today probably. 

My server runs on Linux. Not sure which distro though. I'll have to ask. 

My script will be getting e-mail addresses from my SQL db and sending them a 
pic of the day. I got the HTML MimeMail 2.5.1 to work perfectly, now I just 
need to figure out how to make it run without me doing anything. 

Thanks!

 You don't state what OS you are using, but you certainly can use cron under
 Linux to run a PHP script. What really matters is what does the PHP script do?
 For example, I have a PHP script that I run periodically that retrieves data
 from a database and updates a text file on the disk. What does your script do?

Re: [PHP] Running a PHP script everyday

[sub]

I can't figure out how to get into command line access through my webhost.
I've tried telnet and it fails.

My host uses cPanel. When I setup the crontab it e-mails me back this
response:

/bin/sh: public_html/wap/mailer/dailylist.php: /usr/bin/php
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I'm assuming that it means it can't find /user/bin/php

I ran a whereis php through a cronjob and got this:

php: /usr/src/php-4.3.8/php.ini-recommended /usr/src/php-4.3.8/php.ini-dist
/usr/src/php-4.3.8/php.gif /usr/src/php-4.3.8/php4.spec
/usr/src/php-4.3.10/php.ini-recommended /usr/src/php-4.3.10/php.ini-dist
/usr/src/php-4.3.10/php.gif /usr/src/php-4.3.10/php4.spec /usr/bin/php
/usr/lib/php /usr/lib/php.ini /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/lib/php
/usr/local/lib/php.ini /usr/include/php

I tried them all except the ones with src And still get the same message,
but of course it doesn't say /user/bin/php, it says whichever one I put in
the file.

Now the main PHP file calls to 3 other PHP files in it. Do I need to put
that at the top of each of them as well. I didn't think so because they
aren't being executed. They are called using the include statement.

Also when I use #!/usr/include/php I get the response back from the cron
job, but when I use #!/usr/include/php -q like the tutorial says nothing
happens. What does the -q do?

You can cron the script to run.

Do the following:

1) Add #!/usr/bin/php as the first line on your .php file. If
/usr/bin/php isn't where your php binary lives, type whereis php to
find out
2) Make sure you chmod +x your php script.
3) http://www.linuxforums.org/tutorials/1/tutorial-4017.html
