[PHP-DB] PHP mail fetching email address(es) from database question!
Hi, Fristly, thanks Jen for your information earlier. I have managed to fetch email addresses from a database to be sent out via email fine. But I have a few problems which are listed below. 1) I can't get from to work at all. :( When the emails are generated it goes out as nobody @ domain. I have tried putting $HEADERS .= email but it fails badly. Any idea why? (the emails go out fine with the message to all people in the database) 2) I have not managed to find out how to put their first name at the top of the message. e.g. to bob, ... I have thought of a few ways, have not tried it yet. But would be in the mysql function before it closes and could be legnthy.. I'd prefer to have it like a single line and further down have the message. At the pressent time I type a message in a form from the browser with the subject. Even if I had from on that form also to input is fine but I can't get it to work. :( The code is below. Quite easily achieved in the end. All help is mostly appreicated. Thanks in advance. Jerry $field"; } } mysql_close($linkID); print "MESSAGE DETAILS"; print "From: $FROM"; print "Subject: $SUBJECT"; print "Message:$MESSAGE"; } break; case "Preview": print "$MESSAGE"; print ""; print "SUBJECT: "; print "$MESSAGE"; print " "; print "Please type in html code below."; print ""; print "

One approach that you could take is to parse the results from "describe table_name" (that statement is for Mysql but similar things can usually be done for other database engines) for the table selected in the List control. This really is fairly straight forward. You have isolated the table name that you are interested in... Great Execute a database query to get the field description for the table. Decide what action you wish to take for each field. For example, radio buttons for an enum field, hidden for a primary key and created by.

RE: [PHP-DB] PHP mail() question?
mmm, could you use a foreach loop?
I think you will need to send separate mail items for each e-mail
address you have stored in the database if you want to address it to
them personally.
Eg in seudo code:
foreach($row_returned_from_database){
# variables & headers etc here
# eg, $contactemail = $row['email']
mail($contactemail, $subject, $message, $headers);
}

Subject: [PHP-DB] PHP mail() question?
Hi,
I am trying to get PHP mail() to do the following:
1) Grab email addresses from a database and put in the
BCC of the email. (hidding their email address)
2) Grab first names from a database and put in the
body of the email.
Below is a script I am using, does not do any queries
to any database because I am not sure how to do it in
the function. I have tried but have failed so thought
I'd ask here. Can anyone help? Here is the code I am
using...
\r\n";
$headers .= "To: ".$contactname."
<".$contactemail.">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$myname."
<$myreplyemail>\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: Just My Server";
mail($contactemail, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
Maybe I need a different function? If so could someone
show me a example of how it can be achieved please?
Thanks!

hey everyone, I have this select form which get filled dynamically with all my tables in my database. It depends on which one I choose from the drop down menu, that clicking submit it displays the right table.. now, I need to have a form on the page that would let me insert new records. Of course I don't want to make a form for each table, so I would like to change the entries and values of the insert form in relation to the table I choose from the drop down form above mentioned.

Issue the query with mysql_query() and check for an error. If there's an error, display mysql_error() or do your own error handling. From there, you'll count the number of fields returned by mysql_num_fields(). Loop through with mysql_field_name() to create your "header" row. The "header" text will match whatever the name of the column was. Then loop through mysql_fetch_row() to get all of the rows returned from the query. You already know how many fields there are, so just loop through the result of mysql_fetch_row() that many times and put each element in it's own tag. That's pretty much it. ---John W. Holmes...

[PHP-DB] compling php against interbase rpm
Hello, I'm having problems getting php installed when I compile it with interbase support. I installed interbase using the firebird rom: FirebirdSS-1.0.2.908-1.i386.rpm This installs firebird into /opt/interbase. I configure php with a line like: ./configure --with-interbase=/opt/interbase --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs Then I happily compile away. But make test doesn't seem to happy: = FAILED TEST SUMMARY - InterBase: create test database [ext/interbase/tests/001.phpt] InterBase: connect, close and pconnect [ext/interbase/tests/002.phpt] InterBase: misc sql types (may take a while) [ext/interbase/tests/003.phpt] InterBase: BLOB test [ext/interbase/tests/004.phpt] InterBase: transactions [ext/interbase/tests/005.phpt] InterBase: binding (may take a while) [ext/interbase/tests/006.phpt] = And when I try to load the libphp4.so module, Apache silently dies.

You can shorten $HTTP_SESSION_VARS to $_SESSION if PHP version > 4.1.0.

One way to do it is to load the data into arrays. I generally use mysql_fetch_array()
to access recordsets. This delivers both an Indexed and associative array of values.
You can modify this behaviour with the last argument. Assuming you want to preserve
the keys (which will be the column headings in the sql result), in mysql_fetch_array()
you would use the constant MYSQL_ASSOC. You could do something like this:-
";
// Create a row of headings
for ($i=0;$i";
}
// Now loop through the rest of the data
while (list(,$v)=each($myarray)) {
$html .= "";
// Send keys array pointer back to the start
reset($keys);
while(list(,$b)=each($keys)) {
$html.= "".$v[$b]."";
}
$html .= "";
}
$html .= "";
echo $html;
} else {
// Drop out gracefully
}
?>
Does that all make sense ? Basically, you grab the recordset into an array whose
dimensions you can loop through. Then you grab the keys from an array element to give
you the columns. Then you loop through, using the keys as your guide for when to
change to a new row.
There may well be a more elegant way to do it but this would be where I would start !!

Make sure the user you run the script as, only has select permissions on the db you
are using.
Once again, hope this helps ;-)

The logic of the code is the point. I simply offered an alternative way of handling session vars that I feel is cleaner and clearer. Please don't go off the deep end with replies. There's no need. If you felt that you should point out the register_globals issue, then a simple 'Don't forget register_globals needs to be turned on here and it probably isn't' would suffice. While I am not a php guru (as you seem to be) I have been working with it for a long time commercially and do have some experience, so I am occasionally able to offer pointers on people's questions and offer such advice freely, in the hope that it will help. Lets all be adults, shall we ? You don't get any points for flaming.

Re: [PHP-DB] Sharing variable values among PHP files
Please, please, PLEASE don't give advice! If you don't know the answer,
DON'T COMMENT! The method you posted is for register_gkobals on, which
it won'tr always (and shouldn't be)!

You can store the value in a session variable

Rather than using isset() you may need to use session_is_registered(). This is specifically for checking the existence of a session variable. I would do something like
// need this on all pages where you want to work with
// the session var
session_start();
// Check for the existence of the session var and create
// it if it doesn't exist
if (!session_is_registered("ses_username")) {
session_register("ses_username");
}
// Are we getting a form var thru ? if so pop it into the session var
if (isset($frm_username)) {
$ses_username = $frm_username;
}
// then in your scripts you can do
do_my_amazing_function($ses_username);
?>
As long as you have session_start() at the beginning of each script, $ses_username is now available across scripts.
$value=$_HTTP_SESSION_VARS['your_variable_name']; //get the value
}else{
$_HTTP_SESSION_VARS['your_variable_name']=new value;
}
Hope that helps.
