[PHP] verifying sql INSERTs

[Chris W. Parker]

Hi!

(MySQL)

What's the best way to determine a sql INSERT statement has executed
successfully?

What I've got is a function whose sole purpose is to add new staff
members to an app. I've written. There's a basic form that the user
fills out (first name, last name, email address) and submits. Only one
record per email address is allowed.

Here is a pseudo code version of what I have right now.

function insertStaffer($fname, $lname, $email)
{
$sql = "SELECT table WHERE email = '$email'";

if(1 or more records are found)
{
return 0; // means email address is already used
}
else
{
$sql = "INSERT INTO table ...";

return 1; // assume record inserted correctly
}
}

Now for my question: Should I just assume the INSERT INTO has worked
correctly (like I'm currently doing) and return a 1? Or should I verify
that the INSERT worked correctly (by using the MySQL last_insert_id()
function)?

Alternatively... maybe the mysql_query() function returns a true/false
status based on what happens? Hmm... I should look into that.


I'd appreciate any advice you have to give.


Thanks,
Chris.

I'm pretty sure the optional second argument for date is a unix timestamp
that you would generate by using either time or mktime or strtotime.  You
are passing it something in the form of Y-m-d, or 2003-08-23 when it is
expecting 1061852640.

Change to:

5. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid general subjects like
"Help!!", "A Question", etc. Especially avoid blank subjects. Many
people see this as rude and will ignore your mail outright, myself
included.


(Does it make sense to put "urgent help needed!" in your subject? Isn't
everyone's email "urgent" to one degree or another?)

8. It's always a good idea to post back to the list once you've solved
your problem. People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject line of their
email when posting solutions. By posting your solution you're helping
the next person with the same question.

RE: [PHP] ob_start and transparent sessions 4.3.2

[Wouter van Vliet]

Hi,

I too am running PHP4.3.2 and never took any notice about the session id's
being appended and stuff .. after reading your message I got a little
alarmed, since I'm also using output buffering. So, I turned off my cookies,
restarted my browser and saw that indeed no session id's were appended. Now,
when I checked php.ini, the value appeared to be '0'. That was quite an
explanation. I changed it to '1' and it all worked.

Maybe this makes your problem a little weirder.. But the problem is not on
the PHP version. You might want to check if session.use_trans_sid is really
set to 'On'. If it is, try changing it to '1', restart apache and see if it
works now. Also, check if your cookies are turned off, since with them
turned on, there's no need for php to add the session ID and thus it won't
happen.

email has some attachments, being photo's to be added to some system.
- Sendmail recievers the email, and sends it to some PHP script
- This script parses the input it gets, ...

[PHP] PHP permissions problem

[Lowell Allen]

My commercial host is set up with the public root directory, "public_html",
owned by user: userid, group: nobody. Directories I create within
public_html are owned by user: userid, group: userid. As a result, PHP does
not have permission to create files or write to files in public_html, but it
does within its subdirectories.

Is this a common setup? Are there security problems with changing the
ownership of public_html to user: userid, group: userid so PHP can create
files within the root directory? Advice, opinions, and links to relevant
information are requested.

[PHP] how to keep decimals from rounding

[Rob Yelvington]

Is there a way to surpress round() or number_format() from rounding 
decimal places?

I have a value of ".253338" being returned via a calc function.

I take that value and multiply by 100 because I want "25.333" to be 
displayed.

I've used round(), sprintf(), and number_format() and each of them 
rounds the value up.

I had a problem with precision earlier which I solved...my 'precision' 
setting in php.ini was set too low.  Is there something in php.ini that 
controls rounding?

Any heads up are appreciated!

[PHP] HIPAA EDI X12 stuff?

[Richard Lynch]

I don't suppose anybody has any HIPAA stuff implementing something like:
ASC X12N 270/271 (004010X092) or its subsequent standards in PHP?...

Email off-list if you have any idea what I'm talking about, since *I*
don't even want to really do this, so I doubt too many others are
interested...

What I *really* want is to just curl POST to their web-server, or
something similar, but I've been bounced through 4 different
departments/people, and am reduced to reading the 270/271 specs for "fun"
while waiting for them to give me a single straight answer.

If you are having a problem that tells you that output was displayed on a

tried sending headers, then look in that file on that given line, and you
will see the problem.

It could be a simple as a

[PHP] querystring and frameset issue

[Irvin Amoraal]

Can somebody tell me how to pass a value between two php pages within a
frameset.

I have a simple two column framset: navbar on the left, content on the
right.

I have two pages that are displayed in the content area. Both are PHP pages.
I would like to pass an ID value from the first page(a list page) to the
second (a detail page). I tried renaming the frameset page and associated
links with a php extention but that didn't work.

The link from the list page does contain the ID var in the querystring but
it is not recieved in the display page where I try to echo the querystring
var.

Any ideas?
Does the frameset page need to have a php extention?


Thanks.

RE: [PHP] Use PHP or MySQL for MD5 function

[Daevid Vincent]

Well, IMHO it's better to use PHP. My reasoning is this: you want to hit the
db and get out of there as quick as possible since you have limited threads.
Plus, I try to keep my code as db agnostic as possible, so that it's
portable. Having said that, if it's a quick project or something simple, I'd
probably use the mysql version just for the ease of use factor. 

If you really care, just make a program like this and do some MD5() calls in
both mysql and php to see which is faster. I'd be curious to know as well...
You'll have to modify appropriately, and only do a single MD5 check because
I think looping 1 mysql MD5 calls will be slower automatically since
there is the connection to the db and stuff to contend with, so keep that in
mind.

[PHP] mysql or php timestamp arithmatic

[Christian Calloway]

Hey everyone,

I am writing an application to keep track of employee vacation leave. I have
two timestamp(14) database fields, lets call them start and end, signifying
when start and end of a vacation leave, respectively. What I am trying to do
is get the number of hours between start and end, for example if vacation
started at 12pm on wednesday and ended at 5 pm wednesday, then the total
should be 5 hours (Of course the date ranges are going to be alot more
complicated than that). I attempted to solve this problem in the query,
using the following:

FLOOR((end-start)/3600) as hours

but the values that I am getting are wrong. For example, on what should be a
5 hour span, I am getting back the value 13. Any ideas?

Thats a mail configuration issue.  Alternatively you can have the send
the email by SMTP to your primary mail server which then sends it on
from there.

[PHP] Recursive Object Troubles

[Joshua Groboski]

I am building a recursive Menu object.  Inside each menu item there is an array which 
should allow me to add submenu items and so on.  I am having trouble, though, with 
getting the submenus to stay.  They are disappearing as I go along.

Here is the menu class:  (part of it anyway)

class Menu {
 var $iMenuId;
 var $iParentId;
 var $iMasterId;
 var $sMenuName;
 var $sMenuType;
 var $bStatus;
 var $vecMenu;   // <- This is the array of submenus which 
 //will each have their own submenus
 
 function Menu ($iMI, $iPI, $iMstI, $sMN, $sMT, $bS){
  $this->iMenuId   = $iMI;
  $this->iParentId  = $iPI;
  $this->iMasterId = $iMstI;
  $this->sMenuName = $sMN;
  $this->sMenuType = $sMT;
  $this->bStatus  = $bS;
  $this->vecMenu  = array();
  
 // Used as static variable since PHP4 doesn't support them.
  global $menuCount; 
  $menuCount++;
 }
 
 function bIsMaster(){
  return ($this->iMasterId == $this->iMenuId);
 }
 
 function bIsParent(){
  return ($this->iParentId == $this->iMenuId);
 }
 
 function bAddMenu(&$m) {
  
  if ($m->bIsParent() && $m->bIsMaster())
   return false;
  
  if ($this->iMenuId == $m->iParentId){
   $this->vecMenu[] = &$m;  //  <-  This is a guess.  
//  Added into vector by reference?
   return true;
  }
  
  for ($i=0; $i < count($this->vecMenu); $i++){

hi chris,

okay, you try to put your html-code into a string '$body', which will be
used by mail().
but, did you look at $body before sending? i'm afraid your vars are already
missing here?
maybe you have to change your code to this:





Applicant 1 Forename:
' . $App_1_Forename . ' ...';
?>

or this:





Applicant 1 Forename:
$App_1_Forename ...";
?>

look at the quotes. which style you want to use depends on you (i prefer the
1st)

ciao SVEN

By counting the number of "x" messages I receive on the other end of the
Jabber connection.

this code will just continue to send "x" messages after an abort:

while( !$done ) {
$con->sendMessage("x"); # Send msg to Jabber server
sleep(1);
}

this code will send exactly 3 "x" messages after an abort:

while( !$done ) {
$con->sendMessage("x"); # Send msg to Jabber server
sleep(1);
print "foobar";
}

this code will send exactly 2 "x" messages after an abort:

while( !$done ) {
$con->sendMessage("x"); # Send msg to Jabber server
sleep(1);
print "foobar";
print "foobar"; # any additional number of print/echo commands will
do
}

I hope this helps.

This is exactly why register globals is turned off by default now.

This is a major security hole, I can simply put in the url:
  http://host/main.php?s_authed=1

And I would be considered authenticated, throughout the site.

Please turn register_globals off and use the $_SESSION variable to

Anyways, I believe I said "to make a long stroy short". but if you insist on

Re: [PHP] In need of a script

[Jason Sheets]

One thing to be aware of, Location: /newpage.php will probably work with 
most browsers (I know it works with IE, Mozilla and Opera) but the spec 
requires an absolute path  to the file you are redirecting to including 
protocol, server, path and file.  As Wouter demonstrated you should 
always die() after a redirect request because it is just that, a request 
that the client is not required to follow.

Taking care of three things:
- No undifined index notice
- the cookie can also have a value that evaluates to false
- the 'die;' makes sure the script really ends .. sometimes, somehow for
some
  undefined reason it does not stop after a header..

RE: [PHP] Reading an MS Access Database file on *NIX platform using PHP

[Wouter van Vliet]

So, while overnight everybody has said something about this.. Let me add a
few lines. Also because I just want to keep the discussion running, since
I'm having pretty much the same kind of situation.

First of all, what I get fro your description is that your friend wants to
make changes to access 'offline'. That means: when he's not connected to the
server that should parse the MS Access file. Makes me believe that he will
have to upload the Access file to the server which parses it. Even though
there's huge bandwidths nowadays, that's really not what you want for a ms
access file. Those fella's get HUGE.

I'd suggest you use XML for the talking. Haven't tried it yet, but I know
there's VB functions availabel within MS Access to save the data from a
table to XML. Then, almost any language can read PHP and thus parse it.
Other benefits are that there's just one button to click on, and the
interface will create XML files for all of your tables. Those files will
always be smaller than your MS Access file, since the latter also has
queries, forms and a lot of kbytes nobody knows where they come from.

As for what I'm running into is this. The frontend for the database is MS
Access, the data comes from PostgreSQL (using PosgresODBC to connect) and
there are four possible places where the user can access and make changes to
the database.
- 1+2: Connected to the server, using SAMBA to access the filesystem
- 3+4: Locations where there's no internet connection whatsoever whil
  editting. Data syncing happens over a swappable harddisk.

Any ideas what might be the best way to handle it. On each location edits
and additions are possible, on data should ever get lost for any reason
thinkable and thus all changes made at any place should get into the main
PostgreSQL server.

Hoping to have helped and to recieve help in return I am saluting you all :D

Re: [PHP] mail() question

Hallo Alister,

am Montag, 25. August 2003 um 03:27 hast Du Folgendes gekritzelt:


A> Did you install postfix _after_ PHP?  Did you have a sendmail binary in
A> place before you configured PHP?  If it's not there are configure time,

Yes and there was no sendmail binary before...

I did that, but I forgot to do 'make clean'... now it seems to work.
But I have still one question:
when sending mail with this sendmail binary, is it possible to pass
the mail to a local mail server instead of sending it directly to the
recipient? I ask, because I have a mail server in the network
(different machine than the one running the webserver), but I'd like
the mail not to go outside the network (I have no nameserver!)...

[10 minutes later...]

I don't get the error anymore, but no mail has been sent. No errors in
apache-logs... nothing. I'm trying to sniff the network data transfer
with ethereal, but I don't find any connection to any port 25...

In php.ini, I haven't uncomment the sendmail part (sendmail_path =
...) because there is written that default is sendmail -t -i which
should be ok...

I have a friend who have paid a developper to build him a CMS. This

CMS 
with Ioncube and did some other unethical activities as well. To make a

illegal.

What makes you think that the developer did something unethical?

I have taken snapshots of the CMS and put them available to whoever is 
interested in giving me a hand to see if this CMS is an open source one?
note the php files: categories_list.php, content_list.php and

I have seen those small icons used by numerous developers, but I don't

1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP try http://www.php.net/manual/en 
first. You can download a copy and use it offline also.

2. If you can not get answer here try http://www.google.com next. Try 
searching for "php YOUR QUERY" and you may be lucky to get an answer within

4. If you are stuck with a script and do not understand what is wrong, instead 
of posting the whole script, try doing some research yourself. One useful 
trick is to print the variable/sql query using print or echo command and 
check whether you get what you expected. 

After diagnosing the problem, send the details of your efforts (following 
steps 1,2 & 3) and ask for help in the list.

5. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid general subjects like 
"Help!!", "A Question" etc. 

6. When you want to start a new topic, open a new mail and enter the mailing

7. PHP is a server side scripting language. Whatever processing PHP does takes 
place BEFORE the output reaches the client. Therefore, it is not possible to 
access the users'  computer related information (OS, screen size etc) using 
PHP. You need to go for Java Script and ask the question in a Java Script 
list.

Hope you have a good time programming with PHP.

You only have to start a session if you want to access any session variable.
You could always including the code in a header.inc file that gets included

[PHP] window.status

[murugesan]

Hello all,
I have cleared the stage of changing the window status on mouse over
and on mouse out.
echo "Click here";
When I keep on pressing my left mouse button it is displaying the URL in the
status bar.
How to remove the status?
Any one there to help me?

[PHP] Window.status message

[murugesan]

Hello all,
I have  a proble in showing the window message

[snip]
echo "Click here ";

Here on mouse over it is not displaying hai message in the status bar.
Instead when I move the mouse on the link and then after moving the mouse
apart from the link it displays the hai message in the status bar.
What might be the problem?

You could do that without too much effort. Export the data to be synced
from MS Access to a CSV style export format, upload it to the server and
process it. There are a couple of examples how to handle CSV style data on
SourceForge, I believe.

[PHP] include () problems

[Mjec]

Hi,

When I run the line:

include ("fnord.php");

with the file looking like:



it prints out the return of fnord() (i.e. $msg).  I've checked, and there's
no echo or print statemetns anywhere...

Oh, yeah, FYI, the pattern goes like this:

file: index.php

file: standard.php


and it prints it right up the top of index.php, causing an error with the
"header" statement (although it says the error is in fnord.php - which
contains NO header statemtns).

ideas?

Regards,

mjec

[PHP] Use PHP or MySQL

[Sid]

Hello,

This question has been lingering in my mind for some time -
Say we have a function such as MD5, which is available on both PHP and MySQL? Which is 
faster - the PHP version or the MySQL one. Have any benchmarks been made on this? We 
can use the same question for say... arithmetic operations, string contentation...

Thanks in advance.

RE: [PHP] RE: Unable to get the values in next page

[Cody Phanekham]

NP.

You only have to start a session if you want to access any session variable. You could 
always including the code in a header.inc file that gets included in every php script, 
that way you wont forget to start the session.

I'm sure this has been asked but I need clearification.  I would like to
create a script that can run remote programs and edit remote files on Linux
(both hosts are linux).   The reason is I would like to make a web hosting
control panel using PHP that I can have my mail & dns server on one machine
and web on the other.  Is there any way possible to do this with PHP?

I searched the arhives and found something about ssh_agent but couldn't find
a lot of information from google.  Any help would be appreciated.   I have
php experience just not very much...

Anything would be appreciated!
Thank You

This is a widespread problem. One which we faced, and eventually solved by
deciding to just write the application in .NET instead.

Some links that may be helpful...
This link deals with problems trying to use PHP's built-in function
"odbc_connect" on a Linux box:
http://forums.devshed.com/t37357/s.html

These links mention using database functions within this PHP include
library (adodb.inc.php) and skipping ODBC altogether:
http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/ADODB
http://php.weblogs.com/ADODB

The basic problem is trying to get something on a nix box to play nice with
Jet. We never found an elegant way of doing it. (Some brief thought was
given to writing a VB app to live on the windows box, conveniently leaving a
port open to listen for requests from our PHP script and return results.
Humorous, yet ever-so-brief thought. :)

Good luck.

[PHP] Unable to get the values in next page

[murugesan]

I did as what you said. But the problem now is that I am not able to get the
values in the next page.

index.php
--
session_name("mysessionname");
session_start();
--->

auth.php
-
$failed="yes";
session_register('failed');
header ("Location: /main.php");
->

main.php
-
echo $failed;// this is null here
->

What might be the problem ?

Thanks in advance,
Murugesan.

Murugesan,

I'll assume your redirecting the user to main.php because (s)he has passed
the authentication routine... in that case just store the username and
password as a session variable that way you wont need to pass the username
and password via the url.

auth.php, [just before the call to header()]:


then in main.php you need to start your session to access the session
variables
your employee id = $empid and the password you typed was $pwd";

IMO, turning errors of is a bad thing, a program should run
smoothly without errors.  Although with 3rd party packages
sometimes this is hard to avoid.

An undefined index error is caused when accessing an index that
doesnt exist, so if you have an array as follows:
  $var = array('index1' => 'value');

And you try to access:
  echo $var['index2'];

The error will get displayed.

> - what is the problem on "function node_page()" (see below) ?

Sorry unable to help you with this.

Actually the mail function usually uses '.' on a line by iteself to

the '^D' character is the end of file marker on unix. it has the
ordinal value of 0x04 so you can append to your mail message
something like:

$mailmessage .= chr(4);

RE: [PHP] How to open random Flash page with hyperlink?

[Cody Phanekham]

Murugesan,

I'll assume your redirecting the user to main.php because (s)he has passed the 
authentication routine... in that case just store the username and password as a 
session variable that way you wont need to pass the username and password via the url.

auth.php, [just before the call to header()]:


then in main.php you need to start your session to access the session variables
your employee id = $empid and the password you typed was $pwd";
?>

Re: [PHP] How to open random Flash page with hyperlink?

[murugesan]

Thanks for the information.
In the code you provided

if ((!$passwd) || (!$username)) // user hasnt logged in
 {
  .

Actually I have implemented this in a separate page.

That is upon sign up of the  in the index page
I call a new page auth.php
In that file
I have done this authentication and called the function
header ("Location: /main.php?empid=$empid&pwd=$pwd");

Actually when passing this URL the password appears in the address bar.
How to over come this? It will be very much usefull if I get the answer.

Thanks in advance
-Murugesan


-
Ok lets say you want every user to login before they can access other parts
of your site.

index.php:

  window.location='main.php'
";
  }
}
?>

main.php:

window.location='index.php'
  ";
}
else
{
  // display page
  ...
}
?>


if a user tries to access main.php directly without logging in they will be
redirected to index.php

Maybe I was not clear but my SMTP class does remote deliveries when you 
enable the direct delivery mode, so it acts exactly as qmail-remote. If 
you doubt it, just try it. Here is the address again in case you missed it:

http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass


The function that I wrote works I just don't know how to insert the message
content.
That is what the MIME message composing and sending class does. It 
composes the message headers and body and calls functions to send messages.

It comes with specialized sub-classes for deliverying the messages 
through various methods. It supports delivery the mail(), sendmail 
program, SMTP either relaying to an intermedite or delivering direcly to 
the recipient SMTP server, or even qmail via qmail-queue.

I use this class for sending newsletters for tens of thousands of users 
every day. The direct delivery mode, I only use for urgent messages, 
like messages to let the users choose their initial passwords.

I could add support to deliver alternatively via qmail-remote but I 
would have to see a good reason to do that instead of using the SMTP 
class in direct delivery mode.

For newsletters I only use the sub class to deliver via qmail-queue 
because those messages are not urgent. The advantage of using 
qmail-queue is that it can run many tens of simultaneous deliveries 
calling qmail-remote. I could run qmail-remote directly from PHP, but I 
doubt it would be as efficient as qmail-queue.

Here it is the MIME composing and sending class address in case you want 
to try it yourself, as you need.

If you want to send a message directly to recipient SMTP server, you may 
want to try this SMTP class enabling the direct delivery mode.

http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass

To actually compose the message you want to send, you would better use 
that in class in conjunction with this other class for composing and

One thing to note about parse errors. If PHP says you have a parse error 
on line 8 (for example), that means there is an error somewhere before 
OR on line 8. The line PHP gives is just the point where it realized

When you configure PHP it uses your $PATH envirmonment (plus som
e standard paths.)  

To get more detailed on the situation There is a file in your surce
tree:
  main/php_config.h:

there should be a line (around line #972) that says something like:
  #define HAVE_SENDMAIL 1

If it says 'undef HAVE_SENDMAIL', that generaly means that your
configure script can't find it.

If this is the case I would strongly encourge a search/report at
bugs.php.net to find out how to resolve this.

As long as your sendmail is in a common place you shouldn't have
any problems.

I believe the only time it become a perfomance issue is when you
have a complex sub directory structure:
 http://host/dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4

apache will look at each directory (dirX) and apply .htaccess rules
overriding each dir from from document root.

This is very interesting and I'm surprized I've overlooked this
option.  Unfortantly, apache doesn't provide a good example of what
this actaully does. A Quick google search didn't result in too good
of results. Do you have any other references on how this
'multiview' option work?

I share a low regard for Access, and I've got a set of standard

my friend. He likes that, but there's a problem:

He wants to be able to make changes offline, and then sync up.

This isn't an uncommon desire... I've run into people wanting to do this 
before (with Excel spreadsheets, no less).  And in fact, it's probably 
the most convenient way of doing things, as long as they're warned about 
certain dangers (overwrites from competing unsynced database files).  
There's a certain cumbersome nature about web forms and the time delay 
involved in HTTP transactions.

So anyway, that's the motivation for using Access here.

Either that or export the data from Access in a readable format, and

These ideas might work better; especially the latter. If COM doesn't 
work under UNIX and ODBC can only talk to FoxPro, Access, and other 
document (rather than server) oriented databases with the help of some 
special Win32 control panel/dll, then it would seem that the only way to 
do offline updates that are then synced would be exporting from Access 
in some standard format.

But it seems somewhat odd to me that there aren't any UNIXy (PHP, Perl, 
something) for parsing Access files. I know there's a few CPAN 
modules for Excel, but it's interesting that there's apparently nothing 
for Access.

Did you install postfix _after_ PHP?  Did you have a sendmail binary in
place before you configured PHP?  If it's not there are configure time,
it won't even compile the 'mail' function.

I've had the same problem before - now that PHP can recognise it's got a
way to send email, re-running ./configure / make / make install should
work.  It did for me.

yeah, I saw a reference to that with some google searches.  Also
some references of using 'wine' but that seemed to be a little

I would  also suggest this. Basically you create a MS Access on his
computer and link (with odbc) mysql tables into the MS Access.

The only problem I forsee is granting remote access to the server.
Seeing that this is on a verio machine, I doubt they'll allow
access remotely. Perhaps there is a chance if your friend has a
static ip.

Yep, and this would be my alternative :)  Using CSV files of
course!

Hi,

One of these ' tricky' windows linux bridging techniques is with JDBC. 
But that only works for sql server and not for access. This works like a 
dream if you are on J2EE. can be used with php as well if you don't mind 
mixing java and php classed. I have also had success with 'ODBC socket 
server' they renamed themselves and i am not sure of the new name though.

It wouldn't matter so much if people wanted to use ms SQL server instead 
they alsays insist on access :-((

Hi,

The simplest way i know of to use access from linux is to use mdbtools 
(a free download at sourceforge). Haven't tried to invoke this from PHP 
but it would not be all that difficult to create a MDB module.

First off, Access has nothing to do with a pc, it is the
communication layer that causes the problem. And the only drivers
available for this layer are for MS Windows. 

PC !=  MS Windows

Second, Not every solution can be solved by plopping a
mysql/postregsql database server somewhere and use it. There are
multiple reasons why people choose one database over the other,
like costs, familiarity, and quickness of results.
MS Access is used on thousands of websites every day too.

are great for ODBC, the only issue is setting up an ACCESS DSN, which
can't be done on a Unix box at this time.  I have heard of tricky
windows/linux bridging techniques though, but what ISP is going to set
up an extra windows box for one Access db?

Cheers,
Paul

First off, Access has nothing to do with a pc, it is the
communication layer that causes the problem. And the only drivers
available for this layer are for MS Windows. 

PC !=  MS Windows

Second, Not every solution can be solved by plopping a
mysql/postregsql database server somewhere and use it. There are
multiple reasons why people choose one database over the other,
like costs, familiarity, and quickness of results.

MS Access is used on thousands of websites every day too.

Well, that makes sense to me. But I just recompiled the same way I did
it first time (config.nice), but I still get the same error reported.
I looked in ./configure --help to see if there are specific arguments
I need to add, but couldn't find any... and this time sendmail is
there (/usr/sbin/sendmail).

What's wrong?

Thx

SvT
