In almost every case, mail() will return true, regardless of how bogus the 
destination email address is. 

mail() just dumps it into the mail queue. There's a lot that goes on 
between there and delivery, and mail() doesn't wait around.

You'll need to catch bounces as they come in. To make life easier, assign 
your own unique Message-IDs and remember them, so you can easily 
invalidate addresses.

Please search the archives on this topic; it's been covered exhaustively,
and each time it comes up we get 25 bad functions and eventually one good
one. The above function will bark at valid domains (.museum, etc.) and
will allow patently invalid domains (anything containing _).

[PHP] Image Resizing

[Nicholas Mercier]

Okay.  Unless I failed a math course in high school (which is possible) I 
think my formulas are sound.  However I'm having issues with this code.

The Intended result:  Take any image larger then 180x200 (WxH) and resize 
it proportionally so it fits within 200x180.
What I'm getting, exactly what I want, except images come back deformed or 
miscreated.  I've attached 2 jpegs that are produced by this script.  If 
anyone can help out it would be greatly appreciated

$lastnumQry = "SELECT imageID FROM images ORDER BY imageID DESC";
$lastnumRslt = mysql_query($lastnumQry, $conn);
$lastnum = mysql_fetch_array($lastnumRslt);
$newnum = $lastnum['imageID']+1;

//Set image dir
$image_root = $DOCUMENT_ROOT.'/images/';

//Create a temp image file from uploaded jpeg
$tempimage = imagecreatefromjpeg("$f_image");
$temp_h = ImageSX($tempimage);
$temp_w = ImageSY($tempimage);

//Checks that the image is not too small
if($temp_h < 50 && $temp_w <50)
{
echo "ERROR: Image is less then 50x50.";
exit;
}
//set file name

$filename = $newnum.'.jpg';

//save image
if(!ImageJpeg($tempimage, $image_root.$filename))
{
echo "ERROR: Image unable to upload!";
exit;
}
$smallfilename = $newnum.'_t.jpg';

if($temp_h < 200 && $temp_w <180)
{
//Save thumbnail
if(!ImageJpeg($tempimage, $image_root.$smallfilename))
{
echo "ERROR: Thumbnail Image unable to upload!";
exit;
}
}
else
{
echo "Resize beginning.";
if(($temp_h*1.8) > ($temp_w*2))
{
$ratio = $temp_h/$temp_w;
$dest_w = 200*$ratio;
$dest_h = 200;
echo "ONE - $dest_w - $dest_h";
}

Maybe it's a permission problem: if you read the installation procedure of

Have you chenged theese permission?

Re: [PHP] The page before for newman.

$_GLOBAL['HTTP_REFERER']

Which I found myself by going to the manual, looking at the variables
section, looking under predefined variables, and having a bit of a dig
around :)

Be warned, HTTP_REFERER does NOT have to be set by the browser, so you
shouldn't rely on it AT ALL for mission critical stuff.

It's possible they put each of their customer in a chroot jail, in which
case - barring gross mistakes on the part of the customer - keeping the

Erm, I'm on a shared server, so I don't *think* it's that easy unfortunately
-- I can't get a message to bounce to the From: or Reply-To: headers I set.
My guess is it goes to an address set in php.ini, or somewhere else, and is
global to the entire server (doesn't help me).

Unless I can set it was .htaccess or ini_set().

*sigh*

How about testing it on two pages?

Or better still, LOOK IN THE MANUAL

php.net/session_name CLEARLY states:

"
The session name references the session id in cookies and URLs. It should
contain only alphanumeric characters; it should be short and descriptive
(i.e. for users with enabled cookie warnings). The session name is reset to
the default value stored in session.name at request startup time. Thus, you
need to call session_name() for every request (and before session_start() or
session_register() are called).

Ok PHP was working fine on this NT2000 box and now its totally smegged.
Every PHP page gives the error:

-2147467259 (0x80004005)

Then IIS restarts itself, i've tried reinstalling with the latest version
(4.2.2) of PHP, rebooted, no joy, then reinstalled IIS rebooted thenthen it
constantly asked for a username and password (NT authentication box) for php
files ONLY, if you typed in the admin password it seemed to work ok,
rebooted again and now I get the above error message. Is 4.2.2 a stable
release? not that it really matters as I was getting the same problems with
4.2.1

I posted this response earlier...did you get it? Are you looking for a
MySQL solution or a PHP solution??

SELECT IF(TO_DAYS(CURDATE()) =
TO_DAYS(date_column),'Today',IF(TO_DAYS(CURDATE())-1 =
TO_DAYS(date_column),'Yesterday',date_column)) FROM your_table;

If you want a PHP solution, then just select the regular MySQL date
format MMDD and use something like this when looping through your
results.

switch($your_row['Date_Column'])
{
  case date("Ymd"):
echo "Today";
break;
  case date("Ymd",strtotime("-1 day")):
echo "Yesterday";
break;
  default:
echo $your_row['Date_Column'];
}

Untested code, of course...

So what you want to do is print a field from the first row extracted from the table, 
then 
loop through all the rows and print several fields? I think you want mysql_data_seek.

Whenever you do a mysql_fetch_row, php grabs the current row from the result set, and 
shifts a pointer to the next record in the result set. In this case it seems you need 
to 
print from the first record, then reset the pointer to the first record and print from 
all 
records found. So:

$row = mysql_fetch_row ($result))
print ("$row[4]");

mysql_data_seek($result, 0);  // Add this

while ($row = mysql_fetch_row ($result))

[PHP] PHP: preview an html file.

[Alia Mikati]

Hello everybody,
I hope u can help me with this. I'll be very grateful!
This file retrieves a list of files from a folder on the server and then 
has to diplay a list of them. When selecting one of them in the list, it 
should display a preview (i.e. its contents) in the same file. I think i 
should use frames but donno how to do it :(.
Thx a lot









 
 Plz select a page template:
 

read()))
 {
if ($entry != '.' && $entry != '..')
echo ''.$entry.'.\n';
 }

[lallous]

Hello,

1. you must have a frame system with two frames: frame1 called fileslist,
fametwo called: preview
when you build the files list do like this:
$filename";
}
?>

then declare a javascript function as:

function display(filename)
{
  window.frames['preview'].location = filename;
}


should work.

[PHP] uploading pictures

[Oliver Witt]

Hi!
I got a problem with uploading pictures. Using a script following this
schema:

if (is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) {
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],
"/place/to/put/uploaded/file");
} else {
echo "Possible file upload attack. Filename: " .
$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'];

 the script always returns:
Warning: Unable to create '/*.jpg': Permission denied in fotos2.php on
line 62

I do not understand why that happens. Do I need to include a password

[PHP] Reg exp to remove line feeds before lines starting with white space

[Nicklas af Ekenstam]

Hi

I'm trying to do some parsing of mail headers and since not all
headers follow the pattern:

X-Header-A: A string
X-Header-B: Another string that is longer
X-Header-C: And this string is very very long compared

But may very well look like this:

X-Header-A: A string
X-Header-B: Another string that is 
 longer
X-Header-C: And this string is very very long 
compared

(Note that two of the header lines above wrap more than one line.)

In order to read the headers into an array of header key/value fields
i would like a reg exp to remove all new lines/line feeds before a
line starting with one or more white spaces or tabs.

I've tried myself but I'm just nog good with reg exps.


Thanks in advance,
Nicklas

[PHP] Applying XSL to XML with PHP

[ctan]

I'm trying to apply XSL to XML stored in a MySQL database with PHP. How do I
go about doing this? I've tried following the example on php.net but I seem
to run into a lot of trouble. Here's how the code looks like (BTW aml is XML
stored in the argument Table):


if (! empty($searchword ))

   $query = "SELECT aml FROM arguments WHERE aml LIKE '%$searchword%'";
   $result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Query failed");
   $line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC);

// Create an array
$arguments = array('/_xml'=> $line);

//XSL file
$xsl = "./sheet1.xsl"; 

// Create an XSLT processor
$xslthandler = xslt_create();

// Perform the transformation
$html = xslt_process( $xslthandler, 'arg:/_xml', $xsl, NULL, $arguments);

// Detect errors
if (!$html) die ('XSLT processing error: '.xslt_error($xslthandler));

// Destroy the XSLT processor
xslt_free($xslthandler);

// Output the resulting HTML
print $html;


What I get on the screen is:


Array ( [0] => "With the contents of my variable...")


And:


Warning: Sablotron error on line 1: XML parser error 2: syntax error in
/home/httpd/html/ctan/resultworkingcopy2.php on line 93 XSLT processing
error: XML parser error 2: syntax error


What gives? I really need to solve this urgent. Thanks...

No. 

If search string does not involve a regex then just use the plain string 
search functions.

why regexps?
what about simple string fuctions in PHP?

for your example they will be more usefull:

strrpos - http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strrpos.php

sample:

$text = "string";
echo strrpos($text, "r"); // must show 2 as result

Does it have to be a regular expression you are searching for? If not,
you can use strpos().

Re: [PHP] preg_match() occurence position

Yes, I'm aware of the strpos() or any other non-regexp string functions...

but it is either I use regexp to match a certain pattern or I'll have to
write a char-by-char parser to emulate regexp searching and yet get the
position of the occurence!

Thank you all anyway.

How about this:

$mem='this is a test';

if(preg_match("/(.*)test/",$mem,$matches)) {
  echo strlen($matches[1]);
}

Of course, if "test" occurs more than once then the above won't work,
since regex's are "greedy"...

If you add a ? after the * then that'll make it non-greedy won't it?

Actually, I've just written one of them, and they're not that hard, as long

[PHP] automatic job execution

I have a php script I would like run like a cron job every so many minutes.
How is this done?

Depends on what system you are running, let us know and we can better

Re: [PHP] automatic job execution

On second thought, do you just want the script to run and sleep or 
actually schedule it as a job?  You could just use sleep().

set_time_out(0);

while ($i = 0){
your code

sleep(60);
}

We use this at my company for a file parsing program, it runs, sleeps 15
minutes and repeats.

In order to run the script from the command line you need the cgi or 
executable version of PHP.  You can have both on the machine, Apache uses 
mod_php and you use the cgi version for your scripts on the machine.

You can do that or just run the command:
/usr/local/bin/php -q name_of_script.php

If you want to call the script directly by name instead of calling php 
like that you will need to make to executable and add the # line at the 
top.

Re: [PHP] Help with msql_fetch_array() FIXED ! Now cookie problems :(

[Matthew Bielecki]

Hello again,

I got the fetch_array problems fixed.  I was using the actual server name, 
when I switched back to localhost everything worked!!

Now I have a question about how to make cookies work on a Windows machine. 
 This is what I have these parameters set to but it's not working.  Do I 
have slashes/backslashes wrong, or is there something else I have to do in 
Apache??:

session.save_path = "C:/Program Files/Apache 
Group/Apache/web/php/dir/files/temp"

; Whether to use cookies.
session.use_cookies = 1


; Name of the session (used as cookie name).
session.name = PHPSESSID

; Initialize session on request startup.
session.auto_start = 0

; Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted.
session.cookie_lifetime = 0

; The path for which the cookie is valid.
session.cookie_path = "c:/Program Files/Apache 
Group/Apache/web/php/dir/files/temp"

; The domain for which the cookie is valid.
session.cookie_domain = www.mydomain.com



As always, thanks for your help.

Subject:Re: [PHP] Help with msql_fetch_array()


I can almost guarantee that it's not the second line that is "failing", 
the problem here is that $result is not containing naything, and that is 
normally due to the fact that you are not connecting to the db, or the 
table "tablename" is not there.

I use the following format as my "standard" MySQL connect and query 
snippet:

$link = @mysql_connect("localhost",$username,$password) or die ('Could 
not connect!'); //@ suppresses the default error message generated by 
this function and the "or die()" bit kills the script right then and 
there should it not be able to connect.
mysql_select_db("YOUR_DB_NAME",$link);
$sql = "select * from your_table_name";
if ( $result = mysql_query($sql)) {  // checks to see if $result 
contains anything before it even tries to fetch an associative array 
from it.
 $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
} else {
echo "Empty result set!";

Note also that I use mysql_fetch_assoc and NOT mysql_fecth_array, as 9 
out of 10 times, you don't need the array element id's that is returned 
by mysql_fetch_array.

Considering using something like:  c:/temp, sure beats typing and 
remembering that path :)

How are you setting the cookie in the code?

[PHP] Sessions, how they exist and die

[Matt Babineau]

My question is, if I have a user on my web site, and they leave and come
back does their session still exist? the file in the /tmp folder exists
until it is deleted by the OS? If the user comes back will they get
assigned the same session they had before? I know the questions are
pretty newbish but I have had experiences in other languages in the past
where this is the case. The session cookie stayed in the users browser,
so they kept getting the same session and not a new session if they left
and came back a day later.

Re: [PHP] preg_match() occurence position

[Tech Support]

How about this:

$text = "this is test";

preg_match can return the first match in an optional array I'll call
$matches
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php

preg_match('/test/', $text, $matches);

strpos returns the numeric position of the first occurrence
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php

$pos = strpos($text, $matches[0]);

die("$pos"); // should be what you want... 10

RE: [PHP] Speeding up PHP or MySQL

[David Buerer]

John,

You made one comment which is caught my attention:

> that's a no go :(  Or is there a way of storing common query results?

If the results to a commonly called query are the same for a time period,
than why don't you right a routine that just stores the results into a new
database that also has a results_expired field.  Then, everytime the results
are request, you can write a function which checks to see if the results are
still valid, if they are, it displays them, if not, it requeries...

i.e.

function getresults($common_query)
{
  $query="SELECT results,TIMESTAMP(expired) as dt_expired FROM storedqueries
WHERE query=$common_query";
  $results=mysql_fetch_object(mysql_query($query)) or error_handler();
  
  if($results->expired <=time())
  {
//rebuild long slow query and exectue it so that $results has the result
of the new query and $query is the query
   $update_query="INSERT INTO storedqueryies (query,results,expired) VALUES
($query,$results->results,[expired_time)
   mysql_query($update_query) or error_handler();
  }

  return $results->results;
  
}

Re: [PHP] Sessions, how they exist and die

[Tech Support]

Hi Matt,

The user's browser will retain the session cookie as long as it is open
unless "session.cookie_lifetime" is set to something other than zero in the
php.ini or you can also set it in your script like this:

// set session cookie to expire in 30 minutes.
ini_set("session.cookie_lifetime","1800");

If they don't close their browser they can leave and come back to your site
and still have the same session. In I.E. you can even pop a new browser and
the child browser will have the same session cookie as the parent
feature or bug??? who knows.

As far as the files in /tmp are concerned... There are two variables that
control them in the php.ini

1) session.gc_maxlifetime
2) session.gc_probability

if session.gc_maxlifetime is set to 1800 then php will see any files left in
/tmp as garbage after 30 minutes. session.gc_probability is a percentual
probability that any "garbage" will be deleted. Since any files left in /tmp
will be useless to a browser that exceeded our 30 minutes they are not
harmful but will need to be culled eventually to keep it from growing
forever. If session.gc_probability was set 100 then every single time there
was session activity the "garbage" files would be deleted. This could get to
be too much extra overhead on a busy server so you could set it to something
like 1 so that only every 1 out of a hundred times there was session
activity the "garbage" files would be deleted.

NOTE: if session.gc_maxlifetime is set to something less than
session.cookie_lifetime and gc_probability is high (or you just get unlucky
and the number comes up) session data on the server could be deleted and the
user's browser would still have the old session cookie to a session that no
longer exists. This means that the user will not be able to get another
session and can make a mess of an ecommerce deal. I believe all three ini
variables can be set by user via ini_set and I would strongly recommend
taking advantage of that if you are on a shared server and cannot control
what's in php.ini.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php

Sorry for the book. But sessions can be difficult to grasp if your new and I
thought this was important.

[PHP] pdf to html

[Tyler Longren]

Hi,

I've been searching around for ways to convert pdf to html.  I haven't
had much luck.

I have a client that has a bunch of pdf's stored in a mysql table. 
They don't want their users to have to download the pdf file, they want
the pdf to be displayed in the web browser all the time.  Google has
something that allows them to convert pdf to html, so, is it possible
for me to do the same?

These pdf's are graphic intensive...there's not much plain text.

Thanks everyone,
Tyler

a asserts that A is true
A is true
  
  Is a in a position to know whether A is true?

[PHP] String Manipulation

[Mike]

Hello all,
I know that this has probably been discussed before and that you will
tell me to go through all the back messages on the list but I really
don't have time to do that because I am on a really tight schedule, but
I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on how to pull
some information out of a string. I have something like this:
(Something) - is wrong with me
or
something - (is wrong with me)
or 
something - (is wrong with me

what I need to know how to do is take the stuff that is inside the
Brackets (or partial brackets) and put them into another string
the way I am currently doing it is like this:
Variable names have been changed per my boss(My Boss wanted me to change
them for some reason)


I know that there has to be a shorter version of this, can anyone help
me out with it?

Thank You,
Mike

RE: [PHP] pulling records from mysql

[David Buerer]

Create a column like.person_id with the auto_incr flag set.  Every
record will be given a unique id starting at 1 and incrementing by 1 each
time.  Then you can query based on person_id field to get an individual
record

[PHP] 'Previous' 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. 'Next'

[ctan]

I seem to have a problem getting the page to display beyond the limit if a
page, i.e. if the limit if 10 rows in a page I'll only get the 1st ten rows
and then a link to further rows but when I chick on them they give me
nothing. Here's the code:


$searchword = $_POST['searchword'];
print "Your word(s) is/are: $searchword\n\n";

// Searching by keyword
if (! empty($searchword )){ 
   $max = 0;
   $query = "SELECT aml FROM arguments WHERE aml LIKE '%$searchword%'";
   $result1 = mysql_query($query)
or die ("Query failed");

// Determine the number of items containing the $searchword   
 while ($line1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1)){
 $max++;
 }  


// The number of results to be displayed on screen
$maxresult = 10; 

$sql_text = "SELECT aml FROM arguments WHERE aml LIKE '%$searchword%'";

// When the current page is yet to be determined
if (!$page) { 
 $page = 1;
 } 

$backpage = $page - 1;
$nextpage = $page + 1;
$result2 = mysql_query($sql_text);
$start = ($maxresult * $page) - $maxresult; 
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result2); 

// When the query returns less or equal number of rows than the limit set by
$maxresult
if ($num_rows <= $maxresult) {
 $num_pages = 1; 
   } 

// When the query returns the exact limit set by $maxresult
else if (($num_rows % $maxresult) == 0) {
   $num_pages = ($num_rows / $maxresult);
   } 

// For any other cases...
else {
   $num_pages = ($num_rows / $maxresult) + 1;
   } 

// Declared as an integer
$num_pages = (int) $num_pages;

// The current page is greater than the total number of pages or 
// the current page is less than 0
if (($page > $num_pages) || ($page < 0)) {
 error("You have specified an invalid page number");
   }

// Set the limit per page   
$sql_text = $sql_text . " LIMIT $start, $maxresult";
$result2 = mysql_query($sql_text);

// The navigation between pages
// Ensure only display when total number of return results exceeds
$maxresult
// i.e. will not display if only 1 page
if ($max>$maxresult){
 print "- ";
   if ($backpage) { 
   print "Prev";
   } 

// If its the first page; have 'Prev' un-clickable
else {
   print "Prev";
   }

for ($i = 1; $i <= $num_pages; $i++) {
   if ($i != $page) { 

  print " $i ";
   } 
 else { 
  print " $i "; 
   } 
}

if ($page != $num_pages) {
   print "Next -";
   } 
else {
   print "Next -";
   }
   print "";
}

print "Results";
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result2, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
print "\t\n";
// The different color, in this case light blue will
show that
//the particular table belong to search by
keywords
  foreach ($line as$col_value) {
print "\t\t$col_value\n";
  }
  print "\t\n";
}


}


I suspect the problem is because I set the limits to a page and thus
anything more is ignored. That particular area of code is highlighted in
red. Could anyone please tell me where I have gone wrong and how I can fix
this. Thank you loads in advance. Incidentally this will be use php script
to conduct search of a database, whereby the user inputs a 'searchword' to
look for in a HTML form and the php script which processes the form input.

Re: [PHP] pulling records from mysql

[Martin Clifford]

You would need to use SQL to identify which columns and rows you need to retrieve, 
then use various MySQL PHP functions to gather the information.

For your two queries, they would appear thus, respectively:

SELECT firstname FROM tablename WHERE id=16

and

SELECT firstname FROM tablename ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 15

The functions you'll want to look into are mysql_connect(), mysql_select_db(), 
mysql_query() and mysql_fetch_array().  They can be found at http://www.php.net, do a 
search for any one of the functions ;o)

Do you have register_globals on or should you be setting  
$page = $_GET['page'] here?

You could simplify this here with
$num_pages = ceil(($num_rows / $maxresult));
And get rid of the else below

Just noticed something...
$line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC);
returns an array. Your $arguments array wants a string.
So..

$xml = join($line, '');
$arguments = array('/_xml'=> $xml);

Basically, someone is looking to get a database driven site built,
and Ive never written code for money before.
Im looking for advice, as to how the experienced coders in here charge 
for their work.
Do you charge by the page, script or by the hour (that would be nice).

Thanks for any input you may provide...

Ok, It works and everything, but I just was wondering:

what does this do exactly, I see that you are replacing all the

Re: [PHP] Paying Job...

[Brent Baisley]

I have never charge by the page simply because I don't want to be 
limited in my design. Also, I don't want them saying I've added unneeded 
pages to up the price.
I don't know how you would charge by the script since you should be 
using object oriented code. Wouldn't this be similar to charging by the 
page?
So that leaves hourly or by the project (not mentioned). Personally, I 
like to do it by the project, although I am probably a minority in my 
preference. By the project gives the client a nice set price. However, 
the scope has to be extremely well defined. It should be anyway, but 
more so if charging by the project. I then charge by the hour for 
requests outside the original scope, which happens all the time. It also 
keeps them in check on their requests. Depending on the client, I 
require a third or half up front for a project.

Not talking about what to charge  but how to charge. Good question.

I've travelled quite a bit and in a lot of countries a price is "how much do you want 
to pay". Seriously, when you ask the price the answer is usually that, 
sometimes excactly that or other times what the seller considers you might pay based 
on his quick evalution of you.

Now, are software companies much different than that? I don't think so. Try to get a 
price on some software "products".  Not as easy as it seems. 

What are you really selling? You are not selling "packaged" software. You are selling 
a service. Most, not all, services get priced by time. I worked at an 
ad agency and I had to account for 7.75 hours per day. I would attach my time to jobs 
and the account execs would bill the clients periodically (and 
sometimes they reduced the time I spent). Often there was the thought to bill for 
value provided rather than time which is tricky if not also walking an 
ethical borderline, imho.

I love the people who bill by the project. They will spend all of 10 minutes to "know" 
a project and bid. I guess most of them hope to whine later to get 
more money.  I would bet that this method has the most success. But then you would 
make more money selling drugs than providing software solutions 
so success is probably not measured by money or acceptance.

Personally, if it's a small thing like fixing something broken in software I 
understand or just doing something that's pretty generic I will provide an estimate 
of time, as in from 4 - 8 hours. The client must trust me and be willing to pay the 
high figure if need be. I will usually not bill more than the high figure if 
I've underestimated.

If it's a project (more than 15 hours) then I prefer to try and get a blueprint going 
so I can determine what it is I'm going to build before I agree to build it at 
a price. This worked for me three times, for FedEx and for an Architectural Firm and a 
"monster" type job company. Usually this method fails because 
your client will balk at paying for what is "so obvious" :) and when other developers 
will also agree that it's "so obvious". 

So, imho, it is a question of "who you are" to determine how to charge. Best bet, 
imho, is to try to understand the project as much as possible and give 
them a decent range. Be prepared to spend a lot more time on it than you budget. Try 
to get the job especially since it sounds like it's your first. If they 
want a fixed price for something which isn't even fixed yet, heck, give it, plenty of 
others will. Experience helps, understanding the nature of the client 
helps ... I'd suggest do whatever you have to do to get the job, you want the 
experience more than the money (possibly).

how much code is original these days either...  we have a collection of snippets
for just about every instance...  perhaps only charging the a quarter of the
value of the development for an app, but rehashing the code for several other
lcients cutting down on development time.

thats the trick...  otherwise the simple aplpication will in teh customer eyes
include this, that, and the other thing, despite the 30-50 hours that adds to
the developemnt.  You can't overstate the boundries of deliverables in a
contract.

>more so if charging by the project. I then charge by the hour for

good form.

Always build in some slush factor as well...  clients ask for minor this and
minor that...  if you have built in some slush, you can give them those without
additional cost.  the more they beat you up on the contract price, the more
"slush" you remove, and make them aware that "its all fine, but every little
extra will have to be charged now" since theve removed your flexibility.

Look at it like you aren't doing the development, you are outsourcing it... what
is going to ensure that at the end of the project you have enough to pay your
developer plus posket a few bucks.  Take those steps, and make sure everyone is
clear about everything.

later to get 
more money.  I would bet that this method has the most success. But then
you would make more money selling drugs than providing software
solutions 
so success is probably not measured by money or acceptance.

Personally, if it's a small thing like fixing something broken in
software I understand or just doing something that's pretty generic I
will provide an estimate 
of time, as in from 4 - 8 hours. The client must trust me and be willing
to pay the high figure if need be. I will usually not bill more than the
high figure if 
I've underestimated.

If it's a project (more than 15 hours) then I prefer to try and get a
blueprint going so I can determine what it is I'm going to build before
I agree to build it at 
a price. This worked for me three times, for FedEx and for an
Architectural Firm and a "monster" type job company. Usually this method
fails because 
your client will balk at paying for what is "so obvious" :) and when
other developers will also agree that it's "so obvious". 

So, imho, it is a question of "who you are" to determine how to charge.
Best bet, imho, is to try to understand the project as much as possible
and give 
them a decent range. Be prepared to spend a lot more time on it than you
budget. Try to get the job especially since it sounds like it's your
first. If they 
want a fixed price for something which isn't even fixed yet, heck, give
it, plenty of others will. Experience helps, understanding the nature of
the client 
helps ... I'd suggest do whatever you have to do to get the job, you
want the experience more than the money (possibly).

RE: [PHP] Paying Job...

[Jay Blanchard]

C'mon guys, he asked a legitimate question that most freelancers ask when
they start. Here is the starting question;

How much is your time worth to you? $50 an hour, $200.00 a day, $6000 a
month?

Here is one method;

a. Estimate how many hours you think that the job will take once you have
received ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION so that you can make a true assessment.
b. Multiply those hours against your self assessed hourly worth, currently
around the lower end of the scale due to your lack of experience.
c. Take that total and multiply by 1.3
d. HAVE A CONTRACT There are many good examples on the web.

HTH!

Jay
