Thanks guys. I think I'll try it first as Chris suggested and see how
that goes. Thanks again.

Squirrelmail has a nice spelling checker which works similar to that. Take a
look to see if you can borrow some ideas/code.

I'm working with forms using PHP and HTML. I've noticed that there is a
limit of the length of a URL that can sent to browser (I'm passing many
many things as arguments across pages). Is there a way to get across the
limit or am I doing something wrong?

Tell me Curt, where is it copyrighted? US/Canada/Worldwide? Where is it
registered? What do you intended to do to protect your copyright? What
makes this code unique that it can be copyrighted to you? Do you understand
copyrighting and intellectual property? You just made that code public on a
public list - does that nullify the copyright? Why did you post the code if
it was not with the intent to share?
Perhaps you should think twice/thrice/four-times before you post copyrighted
code - I can guarantee you that it will be used over and over and over by
many a person - and you did not even include a credit in the code. Silly
boy :)

I've been working like that for about two years and just recently I got
enlighted in the use of classes. I've built a few sites and after a
while on each of them I run into a problem. Say I wanna add a
meta-refresh tag or send a cookie; with my earlier code, that brought
out hell... more or less. Sure I solved it, but it never felt like it
was the best thing to do.
Since I first used a class, I've tried to figure out how they work. I
got them running but I had no idea what I did, I just used the examples
provided. I read through some tutorial and the docs at php.net, but I
just got confused. Then, suddenly I got some class for something,
checked out the code and my brain just snapped. "aaah, THAT's how it's
done!". It wasn't well documented, just nicely structured and easy to
read and understand.
You'll get it one day. Until then - do what you feel is the best thing
for you to use and understand.
This might not have helped you at all, it's just my story.

The main reason I started this thread is that since I'm just beginning with
php I thought I might as well start with a good methodology. I've seen on
the net whole collections of classes some going as far as almost inventing
a new language but having some experience I know everything comes at a
price.
Classes seem to provide advantages to plain functions but only sometimes,
striking the right balance I guess, is what I'm after.

Object Oriented Design is not an industrial theory. It's a tried and
true practice with over a decade of computer science and practical use
behind it. Procedural programming is a subset of Object oriented
programming. Someday you'll need the higher level features OOD offers,
but until then it probably just won't make sense unless you actually go
and learn the principles from a good book or teacher. Trying to
formulate an opinion about OOD from the PHP mailing list is like trying
to form an opinion about nuclear physics from your buddy that watched
some show on nuclear power plants (maybe not that extreme, but hopefully
you get the point).
Cheers,
Rob.

Is it just me getting some messages 3 times?
I also noticed that there is no Reply-To in the headers so every time I
want to reply to the list I have to copy/paste the list's address, clicking
the Reply button would send my message to the poster, not the list.
I guess others are having the same problem for which reason they "reply to
all" or cc to the list, all of us ending up with a couple copies of the
message.
Is this something that can be fixed?

I've been noticing this too, everytime someone replies to the list I get
an extra copy of the mail. It seems that most people are just doing a
reply to all type follow-up.
I've actually been considering adding a reply-to: php-general to my
outbound mail on this list, but have hesitated doing so.
I dont have that problem cause mutt recoginzes that I'm replying to the
mailing list and replies directly to the list instead of the user. It
would be nice if a solution could be made on this, i'm getting needless
mail in my mailbox.

There is nothing wrong with the headers that the list messages use. This was
discussed fairly extensive about two weeks ago. Refer to archive for details.
The executive summary is that there is nothing to be fixed. If you're using a
less than adequate mail client which does not understand the mailing list
info contained in the headers then you should either change clients or, even
easier, just add the mailing list address into your address book.

Nonsense, all clients understand reply-to if it's there and that is the
obligation of the sender which in this case is the list server not my
client.

Hello,
I am currently trying to think of how I want to solve an issue, and
im looking for some input.
I have a page that will query information from a database and then
properly display it on the screen. Now the thing I want to set up is
the option to split the information over 2,3 or more pages.
For example, the user can set a value in the config file for how many
results to display for page, then on each page ill have something
that says results 25-50 here and what not.
The only thing that comes to my mind, is somehow setting up some
tests, and then altering the sql statement with the list option. Is
this the best way to do this? Does anyone else have any other
suggestions??
Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Retrieving the results can be LIMITed to X results starting at row Y
using mysql's LIMIT function.
Check the MySQL manual, but basically, this will limit the result to 10
rows, starting with row 5.
SELECT name FROM customers LIMIT 5,10
By taking your values for the starting point and row count from
variables from within the url, a posted form, session, cookie, etc, you
can build dynamic queries, eg:
$sql = "SELECT name FROM customers LIMIT {$start},{$perPage}";
You can also build next and previous links by adding and subtracting
the $perPage to the $start.
Make sense?
There's plenty of tutorials -- just do a google search.

If it's not obvious from examining the code then you have to get down to some
serious debugging. Most importantly you need to:
- incorporate error checking into your code, examine the values returned from
all functions
- var_dump() all your major variables and verify that they are what you
expect them to be

Hi there,
I was searching on the net for a while on how to create dynamic newsfeeds
from my web portal. Somehow I did not find what I was looking for.
Can anybody give me a good start on how to write a newsfeed service which is
dynamic? The goal is whenever a member publishes a story on the site, it
should be included into the newsfeed.
Thanx for any suggestions and help on this!

Two ways of doing it, basically.
First is a dynamic PHP page that goes though the last ten or whatever
updates and displays them as RSS (in much the same way you display a
"recent articles" page, except you output XML instead of HTML)
Second is to create the page as above whenever you add a new story and
then output it to a static file.
Output of RSS is fairly simple, start off with
<?PHP
header("content-type: text/xml")
?>
then build up the introductory data (I'm using a stripped down version
of my own feed as an example here):
<example>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";>

ok, I get the idea how to create those newsfeeds. Looks pretty staigh
forward.
How do you implement them on the client site. I read about news agregator
programms (like newsreaders for newsgroups). But I do want to integrate them
into another website without having php on that site. Do I have to wrap it
around another peace of software? It would be grate if it would just be a
html tag which just implements the little news into a whole html page
surrounded by its other content.

Can anybody give me a good start on how to write a newsfeed service which is

should be included into the newsfeed.
You may want to try this class that does exactly what you ask:

thanx, but I am looking for a method which I can forward to people without
having to worry about php. Something like JavaSript. Something that even a
person on geocities would enable to put the newsfeed on there page.
Is this even possible?

Sure, just use that class to generate RSS feed and then use this
Javascript feed viewer service to embed it peoples pages with a single
HTML line. Here is an example:
Original feed:
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse.html/latest/latest.xml
HTML tags to embed:
<script language="javascript"
src="http://publish.curry.com/rss/rss-box.r?url=http://www.phpclasses.org/browse.html/latest/latest.xml&align=left&width=200&frameColor=black&titleBarColor=%23add8e6&titleBarTextColor=black&boxFillColor=white&textColor=black&fontFace=&maxItems=7&compact=&xmlButton=&javascript=true";></script>
Feed viewer page:
http://publish.curry.com/rss/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phpclasses.org%2Fbrowse.html%2Flatest%2Flatest.xml&width=200&align=left&frameColor=black&titleBarColor=%23add8e6&titleBarTextColor=black&boxFillColor=white&textColor=black&fontFace=&maxItems=7&setup=true

Hi there,
My name is Dave, and no ya don't know me, but I wanna tell ya about something.
I'll admit I got your info off a website somewhere while searching around
for addys on Yahoo, but this isn't spam, and i'm not adding you to any
sort of list. This email is between *me* and *you* and if you reply,
you will get a real person on the other end :-)
The site that I saw yer addy on, and I can't really recall where I saw it,
it had something to do with message forums and online conversation, and I
am also into message forums also. I don't like the flame forums tho with
all the idiots just swearing like they have nothing better to do.
I like the ones that are fun, friendly, and the people actually have something
intelligent to say.
Well, anywayz, I run a message forum network called Xpresit Net, and am trying
to premote it. We don't sell anything, and I actually run the network from my
DSL line at home. The site is on an OC3, but the actual mail exchange takes
place from the hub on my DSL line.
This is a network in light of the fact that we not only offer it to regular
people, but we also offer it to websites to have for their visitors.
It's a free speech network, we just don't allow flaming, because I feel that
any opinion can be said without attacking someone.
We have 62 servers so far, and we have telnet, web, nntp (Newsgroup), and email
list access to post in the network.
Since this network is privately run, there is absolutely no spam, and the way
it is setup, spammers can't get to it.
You can't spam via a bot on the website, with telnet its impossible to spam,
and with email and nntp, if anyone actually manages to send out a spam
message, their account will be blocked and removed.
I setup this network 10 years ago, starting on my 14.4 modem, if you can
beleive that :-)
Well anyways, if you are a webmaster who wants the network on your site,
or if your just a regular person looking for a friendly place to chat
with some nice people, then please visit http://www.xpresit.net
If you have any questions, please feel free to reply. If your not
interested, I'm really really sorry to have bothered you, and you
can just delete this email.
Well anywayz, thats about all i have to say about that. I hope you'll
join us. But if not thats ok too.
Have a good one, and thanks again.
Dave

I'm having a little trouble understanding how to accomplish this.
Should the entire browsing session be HTTPS after login, or just for
important functions like "login" and "checkout"
If noly for those function, who should I design to jump back an forth.
I know DB should be used for cart items, but when I jump to HTTPS,
should I enclude the session ID (which will be stored in the DB) as a
GET query string field? If not, how else will I be able to know which
user to continue with. I don't see any functions that will let you
specify which session ID to continue with. What is the best practice?

It is overkill to run whole site on https, you only need it when
sensitive data is being sent back and forth (ie, credit card, login
info..)
Technically you only need to use https when the user actually
submits the form to the script that processes. So the page that
generates the form for the user to login does NOT need to be encrypted,
the forms action will contain the https url.
In general practice though I would probably encrypt the login/checkout
page just so 'joe user' feels more secure (seeing the little secure icon
in the lower left corner.)
You dont need to touch any php code, just modify the html so the
properlinks point to https where needed.
On and advanced note, there are ways to protect a users password on a
normal http connection. The authentication program I helped developed
and use has the abilty to make a hash of the password on the client side
then send the hash value to the authentication script. The authenication
script never sees the password just verifies the hash.

(only cvs version is available, you need ot browse cvs to see the code)

Hi,
Can someone confirm that php does not have a auto timeout feature? Meaning
something like session will auto expire irregardless of whether the browser
is close or not?

If you're using the default session handler and storing the session
files in the location specified in php.ini, then the files will be
deleted by the garbage collection process after so many minutes of not
being accessed. So, whether the browser window is open or not, the file
will be deleted if it hasn't been accessed, thus ending the session.
The time that this happens isn't exact, though, since garbage collection
is triggered based upon traffic to your site and a probability you set
in php.ini. It's close enough for government work, though. :)

two php ini variables that effect this:
; Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted.
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage' and
; cleaned up by the garbage collection process.
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
Now if your cookie_lifetime is greater than your gc_maxlifetime, I'm not
sure if garbage clean up will honor the time of the cookie_lifetime. I
would think it should.

Hi,
I know there are already a lot of posting regarding this bug. But I can't
find a solution for this problem. There is no problem with my installation,
I think. I can call java classes. But the Unable to create Java Virtual
Machine error will occur if I would to constantly refresh the page. I guess
there is a out of memory issue or deadlock somewhere.
Have any one sucessfully deploy php pages accessing java classes without
errors? This bug has been submitted but not resolved. Have anyone come up
with a solution?
I am working on a winxp, using Apache 1.3.27 and php 4.3.2., java version
1.4.1.
Thanks in advance.

if (mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "brati", "peda", "From: Peda")== TRUE)
print("U redu je");
else
print("Greska");
?>
But It seems that mail function doesn't work. I don't get any e-mail.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong.
