[PHP-DB] E-mail marketing tool?
Hi there, I've been trolling through hotscripts.com etc, looking for a tool that I can buy/download to use as a email marketing tool. My company has requested the ability to allow users to sign up for certian offers, news items etc, and need the following functionality: Multiple lists, and each user can subcribe to all/none of these. Opt out E-mail links Option for HTML E-mail Option for attachments Status checker (to make suer we don't duplicate E-mails) Progress reports etc... There are many of packages that do this, most for under $100, but before I spend the cash, has anyone got experiance with this kinda thing, I'n in the deepend here. (To be honest, I'd love to build my own, but we don't have the time) * The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.

[PHP-DB] online test, plz help
i'm developing on_line entry test facility in it.
Any student who wants to take this test follows the following steps
1. he/she registered him/her self.
2.secondly he enters his user name password in a login form,if these
entries are valid another form appears ,prompting him to enter his complete
information.
3.after submitting data (I've implemented all validation checks on all
forms)
4.a page appears with a question following options ,a user can select any
one or can skip by simply clicking on next button,so another question
appears,all these questions are retrieved from sql server table
randomly.Ofcourse it was a difficult job,but thanks to God that we have
achieved our goal.The only problem i'm facing now is setting time for a
student ,because a student is given 30 minuts to take the test.
for this purpose we used time() of php ,but the results was not
satisfactory,as in php
time() returns time in second calculation was not easy,then we used
date(h:i:s);
But the result was cache limiter error.Now tell me how to overcome this
problem
i'm sending script attached with this mail .
Also tell me if any changes are needed to make in php.ini files.
THANKS
here is my script!

RE: [PHP-DB] RE: [PHP-INSTALL] Problem by running mysql-connection in php-script
Looks possible that php isn't using that particular ini file. Make sure it's the correct ini file, because your error message has it looking in a different location. Try mysql_connect(127.0.0.1:3306:/tmp/mysql.sock, etc etc etc) for your connect (that might supposed to be the path to socket, not the file itself, try both). -Original Message- From: Ruprecht Helms [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 8:15 AM To: Michael Scappa Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] RE: [PHP-INSTALL] Problem by running mysql-connection in php-script On Thu, 2003-10-02 at 22:28, Michael Scappa wrote: Ruprecht, Make sure you have PHP pointing to the right location for the mysql.sock. locate mysql.sock.

You can't in MySQL. At least not that I could figure out.
In PHP you could write code to do it.
$float = 4.00;
$text = (string)$float;
if (preg_match(/\d+\.0+$/, $text)) {
list($final) = (int)split(\., $text);
} elseif {
... blah blah blah
}
code is untested, I may have written it wrong.

Subject: Hyperlinks in MySQL dB
This has got to be really simple I feel really stupid having to ask
but...
I'm a very green n00b writing my first php script.
I have a VERY simple MySQL table which I would like to display a bunch
of
hyperlinks (one hyperlink per row) but I dont want the user to see the
actual webpage addresss. eg: a field will say, for instance, Title1, but
when the user clicks on it they will be directed to the page or document
described in the link. I'm sure everybody knows how to do this.
Also, attempting the same thing, but on an Intranet with web addresses
of MS
Word docs on the network.
Thanks tons in advance.
$sql = Select link, linktext from table;
if(!$result = mysql_query($sql)) {
//error handling code here
}
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
extract($row);
echo(a href='$link'$linktext/abr);
}
I did not test this code.
