Tunnel port 3306 over an SSH connection if you can get an SSH session to 
open to the remote.

Re: [PHP] Convert MySQL table into Access or Excell format

[Darren Young]

I seem to remember some Windows application that will do the conversion 
for you. I believe it's called mysql2access and the other way is 
access2mysql. IIRC, it's not open/free though.

Sorry for the confusing...the "ISP" is the hosting company where my client's
web site hosted. That's why I need a php solution for this...

Allow remote access to your local mysql (read up on the security chapter of

Glory!

Exactly.. that IS the problem.
You see, my mySQL DB on the Server/Internet, on my
website.. it DOES NOT allow Remote Host Connection.
That's why i need to use a PHP page, that too based on
the server. Because i need to move tabel data on my
Client/My Computer to the Tables on my Website mySQL.

This thread is leading into non-PHP territory (ie you're better off asking on 
the mysql list). Put simply, you can specify which port you want MySQL to 
use. However if the ISP only allows certain ports, eg SMTP, HTTP, _and_ 
you're already using those ports, then you're stuck up a creek.

Of course you can always ask your ISP to unblock that port. Why are _they_ 
firewalling _your_ network anyway?

In this particular case all you need to do is check that the ip address 
($REMOTE_ADDR) begins with "192.168.0.". So look in the manual to see which 
of the string function(s) you need to perform this comparison (probably 
strstr()).

If all you want is to copy data from ServerA/Database/Table to 
ServerB/Database/Table you don't even need PHP. 

Providing that at least one of the server allows remote access then the 
easiest way is to use mysqldump. For details consult mysql manual.

Re: [PHP] Restricting access using IPs

[Liam MacKenzie]

If I enter 192.168.0.13 (My IP) it works, I'm allowed in and any other IP
isn't.
However, I need to grant access to this whole network, not just me.  So I
need 192.168.0.* to be able to access it, everyone else should get "Access
Denied"

So I need to know how to write this bit:
$localip = "192.168.0.13";
so that it's the network, not just me.

I tried these but they didn't work:
$localip = "192.168.0.0";
$localip = "192.168.0.*";
$localip = "192.168.0.0/24";


Any other ideas?

Cheers

[PHP] Connecting LocalHost & Remote mySQL DB

[Thomas Edison Jr.]

Glory!

Let's say i got a bunch of Data in my mySQL Table on
my localhost. I need all this Data uploaded on my
mySQL on the Server/Internet.

Now one way is to use phpMyAdmin, Export the original
data on LocalHost to a .CSV file, then use the Server
phpMyAdmin to upload the same .CSV file to the table
on the server. 

What could be an alternate, in case we dont' want to
use this lengthy procedure. Can i make one page which
will do both these things? 
.OR.
Can my PHP page on my server, directly pick up data
from my localHost mySQL, and feed it in the mySQL
Table on the server?

Help needed!

Thanks,
T. Edison Jr.

[PHP] problems with variable variables...

[Dave at Sinewaves.net]

I'm having a huge problem with getting variable variables to work.

Here's what the code looks like...

// This is set from a previous array...
/
$the_variablename[0] = "processors";

// Now I include a file called vars.processors.php
// (which contains an array called processors[] )
/
include("vars.".$the_variablename[0].".php");

Everything works fine so far.  Then i make the variable variable, and the
shit happens.

// I want to set a javascript array value - already
// set up in the script...
// So I want to retrieve a value from the included
// file dynamically and create a javascript statement
// like this:
//  processors[0] = (whatever the value of $processors[0] within the
included file)
/
echo $the_variablename[0]."[0] = ".$$the_variablename[0][0].";\n";


And what do I get for wanting total control and dynamic code??
Undefined variable.

Is it because i'm accessing an array within the array?

Should I be calling it as:
$($the_variablename[0])[0]
or
$$the_variablename[0][0]

or do I need to establish a separate temp variable to take care of the array
value, like this:
$temp = $the_variablename[0];
echo $$temp[0];


Please help!!?!

two typos in a few words are definitely too much, sorry :)

BTW, although almost all class specification is dynamic you cannot 
dynamically specify a class name in fron of the :: operator. A bug, most 
probably.

$myclass = 'foo';
$myclass::print();

will produce a weird parse error.

Re: [PHP] Convert MySQL table into Access or Excell format

You can also use ODBC (Ships with Acess) to make a DSN connection to MySQL.
Access can retrieve data from any ODBC DSN.

There's something called Owl (search sourceforge/freshmeat etc). Or you can

Re: [PHP] is_null question

My appologies, I didn't read clear through, your code block confused me :-)

What I usually do in a situation like this, although I'm new to PHP is.

$temp="Some stuff before Email";
if($row[1]){
$temp .= "Email:$row[1]";
}
$temp .= "The rest of the stuff after Email";
print $temp;

[PHP] is_null question

[Matthew K. Gold]

Hi Everyone,

Here's my problem:  I'd like to make the printing of some text dependent on
whether or not a variable is null.  In the following example, when $row[1]
is null, what gets printed on the page is "Email: ".  I'd like the
script to not print "Email:" if row[1] is null.

It looks like I should be using is_null(), but I'm not sure how to use it,
especially since all of this is embedded in a print statement.

while ($row = mysql_fetch_row ($result))
{
 print ("\t\n\t\t$row[0]\n\n\t\n\t\t$row[10]Email: mailto:$row[1]\";>$row[1]Phone: $row[2]\n\nAddress:
$row[3]$row[4]$row[5] $row[6] $row[7] URL: $row[8]");
}


Instead of just printing Email: $row[1], I'd like to test whether it's null
first--maybe something like this?

if (is_null($row[1])) print " " else print ("Email: $row[0]")

but can I put that line inside of another print statement?  if so, do I have
to escape the quotation marks?  Please forgive my confusion--I'm new to
programming in general and PHP in particular.

Thanks in advance for your help.

best,

Matt

Just one thing, as someone noted a week ago or so, you can't use the [] 
syntax *and* javascript. If you also need to process your checks from 
jscript side you shall resort to some older method and have your 
variables called like

 NV
 NV

then process it with variable variable names (the $$ syntax).

The latter.  But note, if a box isn't checked, it's not going to be 
sent, so won't be in the array.

   
NV
NH
NJ
   

In this case $_POST['checkbox'][0] would be 33 and ...[1] would be 34.

Sometimes it's handy to identify the key upfront:

   
NV
NH
NJ
   

That would yield $_POST['checkbox']['34'] = 40.

A nice way to handle incomming checkboxes is this:

   while ( list($Key, $Val) = each($checkbox) ) {
  #  do what you need to do...
  #  for example, show what was sent...
  echo "$Key = $Val\n";
   }

Enjoy,

Mike Tuller wrote:
> So I would have the progressive key inside the addvolume window? Can you
> explain how to go about doing this?

How you organize your HTML output should *never* interfere with the way 
you organize your data, they are two different things and must be kept 
well separated. In a perfect world design, process flow and datamodeling 
should be free to evolve without stepping into each other's way. It's 
obviously impossible to fully meet this condition in the real world, but 
one should always try and get as close to it as he can.

Just do this:

Think of your data as a temporary table, in which you have two keys:
1) the real key, whenever available (will be blank on the stuff you 
haven't written in the database yet)
2) a progressive key, assigned by your php scripts by some means

You just have the two keys constantly in your forms as hidden fields, so 
that at process time you can still tell which is which when it comes to 
relations, even if you do not have an already established relation 
system (which is the case on new data).

So:
you load your hdw components, they all have a db id already, so your 
dataset will look like this:

1) hdw 1, its real id, your own internal key (say 1), rest of the data
2) hdw 2, its real id, your own internal key (say 2), rest of the data
...

you add a new component and save the result on a temporary table, now 
your temporary dataset is:

1) hdw 1, its real id, your own internal key (say 1), rest of the data
2) hdw 2, its real id, your own internal key (say 2), rest of the data
3) hdw new, no real id, your own internal key (say 3), rest of the data
...

You add a new volume and stock the data on a second temporary table, 
which contains:

1) vol 1, no real id, your own hdw internal key (should be 3 since you 
are adding to the last new hdw), your own internal volume id (say 1), 
rest of the data

You can repeat this step all over as much as you want (like fully 
building up a number of new disks, volumes or whatever), and have it as 
multilayered as you want (it will just take as many temporary tables as 
are the real tables involved).

Once your user finally reviews his/her data (say you entered a totally 
new system, reviewed it and felt satisfied with it) he will have a 
"fire" button somewhere.

At this point your final script just takes the data off the temporary 
tables and uses them to build the real thing.

Notice that this way you also sort of implemented a transaction. Not a 
real one, since it will not protect you if your final script fails at 
runtime. Yet you can be sure no unconsistent data from unterminated 
sessions will ever enter your stable datamodel, and that's were 99.99% 
of the risk would come from.

Yes, the second one, only with single quotes.

$_POST['checkbox][1]

Note that arrays start at zero, too.

Re: [PHP] Advice needed

[Analysis & Solutions]

Mike:

You MUST store the hardware information first so you can get the actual 
HardwareID determined by the hardware table's auto increment field.  
Any other way you do it you leave open the possibility for error.

On your main hardware page, I'd make the "Volume Information" section
have conditional text.  If the presently viewed page is for a new piece
of hardware, show a note saying something like "Save the hardware
information.  Then you can input the volumes."  But, if the hardware
page is displaying the data for an existing piece of hardware, the "Add
Volume" link would be shown.  The link would have a HardwareID in the
URI query string.

[PHP] Librep (yes it's definitely OT)

[Alberto Serra]

ðÒÉ×ÅÔ!

Sorry, got no time to surf around for a Linux list, so please answer 
privately since this is totally OT.

I am running gnome on top of rh 7.1, since I upgraded to librep 0.15.1 
and sawfish 1.0.1 I need to reinstall librep once a week.

Apart from the annoying fact in itself, when rep goes astray it simply 
blocks everything (even ctrl-alt-bspace won't kill X anymore), so that I 
have to switch the power down and end up having to run fsck to repair my 
filesystem afterwards. Not a pleasant situation indeed.

Anyone can give me a suggestion about it? Any help would be appreciated, 
Ineed to finish my job and go on vacation, I can risk having to 
reinstall my machine from scratch at every step I take :(

You don't need it immediately. Just have a progressive key (like 
1,2,3,4...) stored in a hidden field along with the new info you are

No, it's that they do not accept standards by default :) Try this and

[PHP] File Browser

[Darren Young]

I'm looking for some type of file storage / browsing script to park on an
Intranet site. I need to have people log in and be presented with a listing
of files stored on the server along with other info such as dates/times,
description, author and perhaps some versioning abilities. The files
themselves should be stored on disk and the "metadata" about the files
inside a database (MySQL preferred but Postgres is OK). All the db should
house is a "pointer" to the path of the file on the server's disk. I'd like
them to be categorized by topic or subject area (network, sales, finance,
etc) and have some type of search interface to locate them. If general users
can have the ability to upload it would be nice if there were some type of
permissioning on who can view/edit/save docs back to the server/database. If
it could have some type of version control (CVS preferred) that would be
wonderful.

Anyone have any pointers to existing scripts? What would this type of
application be called? A document repository perhaps?

Thanks in advance,

Darren Young

[PHP] Advice needed

[Mike Tuller]

I am trying to develop a front end to a database that will be used for entering 
information about the computer systems I take care of. It would be easy to do if it 
weren't for one problem. I want to list information about the drives that are in each 
system. There could be one, two, or 10 drives, so I want to have it generate a new 
table row for each drive. That I can do. The issue I run into is how best to create 
the interface. Right now I have a page where everything is entered on one page. 

I have two tables in the database. One for the basic hardware information, and one for 
the volume information. The volume table has a field for the hardwareID so that I can 
tie the volumes to the hardware, and with a separte table, I can have as many drives 
as I want. The problem with this is that when I click on a hyperlink to open a window 
for adding a volume, I need a hardwareID to be able to tie the volume information to 
the hardware. The hardwareID is created in MySql when the information entered for the 
hardware is submitted, which hasn't been done yet.

I could break this up into multiple pages, where I enter the basic information, and 
then I will have an ID created to use so that I can add the volumes, but this could 
get messy. Is there a better way of doing this?

This is confusing to follow, I know. Here is a link to the page I am talking about so 
that you can get an idea of what I am talking about. 
http://bowser.homedns.org/assets/addasset.html  About 1/3 the way down, you will see 
an Add Volume link that will take you to the addvolume page.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Any experiences on using PHP as a replacement for bat files?


For instance I can't find how to pass a parameter to a

For regular bat files I can reference parameters by
using $1
Anything like that with PHP under windows?

Re: [PHP] PHP/MySQL -- Date/Time Confusion

[Anas Mughal]

The easiest and my preferred way is to use "strtotim" method.
This method accepts MySQL format "2002-12-23" and converts it into a UNIX time stamp.
After that you can use the date function to format time as you wish!

Re: [PHP] PHP and ORACLE

[Anas Mughal]

I don't think you would find any book covering PHP and Oracle. They technologies 
usually don't mix. Oracle is very enterprise oriented; whereas, PHP is open source 
community favorite. 
Oracle is a beast by its nature. So, you would need a few good books on Oracle. 
I would suggest following proper design approaches up-front. Large/huge projects incur 
large costs if design has to change during later stages of development. Frankly, I 
don't know of any good PHP design books. Please let me know if you find any. 
Good luck.

Get comfortable with MySQL's date functionality and you'll find that you
don't often need to do the date comparisons and manipulation in php at
all.

MySQL lets you store date/time stuff as date, time or timestamp formats
(off-hand, haven't referred to the manual here) that will store the data
for you.  You can manipulate this date information in your sql query
using things like DATE_FORMAT() and the like.  Check the MySQL manual
for all of those (chapter 6 or 7 I think it is).

If you're mostly doing data extraction based on date criteria then
you'll find it works best as sql queries basically.

CYA, Dave

Have the Oracle box do most of it. Make sure that:
1) there is  a well defined API for external application (including your
PHP client) to access data. This *must* written an paper and documented.
No code writing prior to this.
2) all about referential integrity is done within Oracle
3) use triggers and SPs to enforce data consistency (handle with care, 
they load the db server if used unproperly)
4) find a good DBA to maintain the system (Oracle can degrade quite 
dramatically if not properly maintained)
5) interact very little with the DB, to avoid loading its server. (That 
is, call an SP, get the result set from a tmp table)
6) avoid locking as much as you can
7) Prey the current Oracle bugs are not too evil.
8) get ready to say good bye to your vacations.
9) ask for a paycheck raise

[PHP] Help a n00b with Server-to-Server file transfers?

[Steve Keller]

Ok, here's the situation:

I've got a script that's catching a backdoor post from Verisign. The 
script then generates an XML file based on the information that's posted. 
The goal being to make Verisign and our online accounting system pseudo-
integrated so that as soon as a post comes through Verisign, the 
information is passed along to the accounting system and added to the 
ledger, saving us the time required to manually post those entries. 

So the XML file is written correctly now, and we've tested it by 
uploading it manually. 

The next step here is to pass that XML file from our server to the 
accounting system's server, where it'll be processed. The way the system 
is set up, they have a DLL that catches a form posted from a browser that 
also attaches the file. I'm hoping to use that same DLL to post from our 
server. 

I've been trying to read up on socket functions, but all I can find are 
the function formats listed on the PHP.net documents. That's great for 
reference, not so great for learning how it's done. 

I don't need an answer on how to pass the file, but I would appreciate 
some help in the way of a pointer to where I can go to read up on how I 
can accomplish this. Is there a particular tutorial I can read that's 
relevent? Perhaps a sample script available that I can peruse to see how 
someone did something similar? 

Any help would be appreciated.

[PHP] getlastmod() returns error??

[Andrew Ziem]

Hi,

I am using getlastmod() to create a META HTTP-EQUIV tag.  However,
getlastmod() SOMETIMES returns FALSE (for error).

When I run PHP from a Perl script, getlastmod() returns FALSE.  When I run
it from the command line, it returns the correct information.

I usually use a Perl script to process a directory of PHP files.  It pipes
them to HTML files in another directory, and I upload those to my server as
static pages.

I am using Mandrake Linux v8.1 and PHP v4.0.6.

[PHP] Encoding problem ONLY with _command line_ PHP.exe

[Emile Axelrad]

Hello - My problem is as follows (I am trying to migrate from a mssql
server to a mysql server)


 
The data in the MSSQL table is: Æã
 
IF I call this PHP code from my browser (IE6) it results in the
following output: Æã and it also places into the MySQL database the
value: Æã
 
However, if I call this PHP code from the command line, using "php.exe
test.php" it also results in the following output: Æã but it places into
the MySQL database: ’Æ
 
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

I am sure it is a character set issue, but for the life of me I cannot
work out why the command-line does not run the exact same script in the
same way as a browser would?

Re: [PHP] PHP/MySQL -- Date/Time Confusion

[1LT John W. Holmes]

You've got all kinds of options. I suggest you do any date calculations in
the database and use DATE_FORMAT to format any dates pulled out. It's
exactly like the date() function in PHP. MySQL has some great date and time
functions so you can select out exactly what you want. You can use the
UNIXTIME() (I think that's the function) function, too, to convert the MySQL
timestamp to a unix timestamp. It's all in the MySQL manual, chapter 6, Date
and Time Functions.

[PHP] PHP/MySQL -- Date/Time Confusion

[Monty]

Which method is the best way to store date/time in MySQL and then which PHP
command is the best to use to convert that date to something useful? I'm
having a difficult time figuring out how to reconcile the date in MySQL so
it works with PHP's various date commands, like getdate().

Any suggestions? I'll mostly need to compared dates/times of different
records and then extract parts of the date for displaying on the screen.

Thanks!

[PHP] Encoding problem with command line PHP.exe

Hello - My problem is as follows:

 
The data in the MSSQL table is: Æã
 
 
IF I call this PHP code from my browser (IE6) it results in the
following output:

and it also places into the MySQL database the value: Æã
 
However, if I call this PHP code from the command line, using "php.exe
test.php" it also results in the following output:
Æã
but it places into the MySQL database: ’Æ

It may not be the best approach, but I've always created a form that accepts

Modularizing things makes TOTAL sense.  At the same time, I'd have all
processing done by the second (Interface B) page.  This is more robust
than having the system "transparently" stopping along the way at
intermediate scripts.

If they plan to display *every* parcel as a distinct element, yeah, but as I
understood it, they just want the properties they are selling to "stand out"
on the map.

You wouldn't be using GPS to *outline* every single property, nor even the
properties in question -- The "outline" for any object at any level of a map
is hand-drawn by a human for the given map.

The GPS data tells you what's on the map and "where" the "dot" belongs, but
doesn't attempt to model the entire planet.  Modeling that much data for
such a "small" project (compared to e.g. MapQuest) would be silly.

This is "do-able" for a reasonable number of properties, but "impossible"
for doing every property when you want to scale up to something like
MapQuest size.

They're solving different problems, and I don't think the best solution for
both is the same.

Hi,

To insert a entry in to a faq table i am using the following query:
-
INSERT INTO faq_table_netvd (id,question,

eat".
i get the following error:
MySQL Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 't eat?' ,answer =
'Please recheck the power of your specs:)' ' at line 3.Putting a '\' before

Re: [PHP] PHP codes and variables

[Kevin Stone]

In that case you'll have to use the output buffering method ob_start();  The
include() function parses and executes any valid PHP code within the file
and produces output (if any).  Output buffering captures the display output
and stores it until you clean the buffer or the script terminates.

ob_start();
include ("header.php");
include ("body.php");
include ("footer.php");
$out = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

echo $out;

Note: instead of ob_end_clean() you can also do ob_end_flush() to send the
output to the display and destroy the buffer simultaneously.

[PHP] black becomes red w/ imagecreatefromjpeg

[Don Howland]

Hello group,

It's been over a year since I've had to come to you for help, but your 
insights and experience are too hard to resist... :-)

I don't have a problem with any of the gd functions and they all works 
fine except that when I try to fill a circle or draw onto an imported 
image from imagecreatefromjpeg:

When I create my working jpg image from scratch:

$im = ImageCreate($sizew, $sizeh);
$black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

...
The image has many different colored stripes which are drawn here
200+ lines
...

ImageArc($im, $arrwell, $arrwell, 10, 10, 0, 360, $black);
ImageFillToBorder($im, $arrwell, $arrwell, $black, $black);

...

everything works perfectly.


NOW...

I decided to cut out the 200+ lines of stripe drawing code and import 
the fixed stripped image using imagecreatefromjpeg to draw and fill the 
circle and arrow onto:

...

$im = imagecreatefromjpeg("stripes.jpg");
$black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

ImageArc($im, $arrwell, $arrwell, 10, 10, 0, 360, $black);
ImageFillToBorder($im, $arrwell, $arrwell, $black, $black);

...

The problem is that now the Arc and arrow lines comes out in a reddish 
color and the fill to border doesn't fill (regardless of the color used 
in ImageArc).

Anything I attempt to draw in any color comes out in red (it doesn't 
matter what the stripe color behind it is, it's still the same red).

See the two small attached images (a small portion of the larger image).

The blackdot.jpg is what it is supposed to look like.
The reddot.jpg is what it looks like when drawn on the imported image.

I guess I could go back to drawing it from scratch but it's over 200 
lines of code to draw the stripes in an already 800 line program.

Do you know why the reddish color over rides the allocated colors and 
what I can do to get the $black to draw on the imported image?

Thanks for any ideas,

I'm not on the list, so please respond directly if you can.

Thanks again,

Don

[PHP] How do I send files with HTTP socket post (PostToHost)

[Kevin Stone]

Okay enough answering questions this week, now I have a question to ask.  :)

I have a situation where two web servers need to share files with one
another.  FTP is not an option.  So I am resorting to HTTP socket
connection.  I am able to open the connection (using Rasmus's PostToHost
function) to PHP scripts running on both servers and send structured queries
back and forth.  This was easy.  The queries can trigger actions so that I
can communicate seamlessly and do work.  But I cannot for the life of me
figure out how to send whole files (mostly image files).  There's obviously
more to it than just sending the ASCII conversion.

I really don't have any meaningful code to show you.  The code is all
standard anyway so if you know what I'm talking about then you have probably
coded it yourself at one point or another.  Are there any tutorials or
examples out there that will show me how to send files using fsocketopen()
and POST method?

Much thanks!

Try searching the websites for available code, phpclasses.org,

I develop a lot with Oracle (pl/sql not php) but I think the key factors 
remain the same with a small or large amount of data. Spend time 
ensuring the table layout (and its indices) are fairly optimal. With a 
small amount of data extra time in doing sql statements may not be 
critical, but with a lot of data it would be very noticeable.

Two of the Oracle CDs in the distribution are documentation. MostOne of 
the books on them is the Server Applications Developer's Guide, some of 
the information on table layout and general optimising may be useful, 
but most of it is about using pl/sql.

Otherwise just ensure the database is doing all your sorting etc, and 
gives you the data in the order you need it.

This doesn't seem much advice, but its a start. Post anything else more 
specific. Hope it helps.

Re: [PHP] PHP codes and variables

[Kevin Stone]

Or use implode instead of join makes skips the step of extracting the
index..
$file = implode ('', file ("afile.html"));

If you'll be sending more output than just one file then another favorite
method is this..
ob_start();
readfile("file1.txt");
readfile("file2.html");
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

[PHP] PHP codes and variables

[J. Alden Gillespy]

Anyone know how to do have a variable equal the contents of a file?  I tried
the include function, but it just prints the file out on the screen rather
than including the contents in the variable itself.  I need help with this
ASAP.  Thanks.

I've never had a problem where it didn't give me a close estimate to where
the "{" or "}" was missing.  And I'm one of those ill-suited NotePad guys
(my Visual Studio copy is at work and I reformatted this computer recently).

I'm not sure that's a fair argument to make because you can say the same
thing about code with the if (exp): endif; code, I'm sure a lot of people
use it's simplicity (I do use it on occasion, but I indent like { }) and
then don't indent.

If I miss one the PHP parser gives me a big enough clue for me to find it
within 30 seconds.  I can definitely understand that though and I bet that
that is easier, especially in harder to read, uncommented code (that's a
general statement, not a shot at anyone).

I've got the same idea as him, but I wear glasses (not bad vision though ...
next up from 20/20).  I never added VB comments to my "End If" statements, I
might comment inside about what's going on, but never what's being matched.
I have the feeling your code is very readable, which is a good thing, but I
like my way for my own selfish reasons (much of which cannot be explained to
mere mortals!).

You're probably right, but it is a religious and huge experience thing.
I've been working with { } for quite, especially a while outside of PHP and
I rarely have a problem (except when moving to ASP ... that normally takes a
quick relearning curve because of the VB syntax).

This is all very good advice (especially 4 and 8).

Oracle can do amazing things but if you just pretend it's MySQL you'll 
have a pretty miserable time. Learn about triggers and stored procedures 
and views and you will be amazed at how quickly and scalably you can do 
very complicated things.

Don't learn about indexing and table optimization and you will be amazed 
at how slow your application is.

[PHP] PHP/cron fetching and processing email from a POP3 account

[D. Reid Wilson]

I would like to write a PHP script that fetchs email from a POP3 account and
then processes it based on the content of the email, such as writing it to a
CRM database or confirming an ezine subscription. I would then run the PHP
script via a cron job every ten minutes or so.

I've looked at the PHP documentation some and I could write a script
completely from scratch if needed, but I'm wondering if anyone could point
me to a reference where doing this with PHP (or Perl for that matter) is
discussed. I don't seem to recall having ever seen such an article.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Oh, just as the other guy said, I don't comment my braces because I tab in
everything evenly (each if is another tab with the nested code tabed one
further).  I do comment my functions end braces because they can get pretty
big and they're all at the same level of tabbing.

I think that most people (like me) use it because of their backgrounds in
other programming languages.  I learned PHP after I was doing a lot of C++
work ... so it came very naturely.

This is completely off-topic, but the Selective Availability system that
you describe has been discontinued by the Department of Defense a few
years ago - after it began to be undermined by the proliferation of
differential GPS beacons (these are transcievers at stationary points that
listen to the GPS signal, calculate the difference between the delivered
signal and their known location, and broadcast a corrective signal). Even 
the Coast Guard was running them.

So for the past few years consumer GPS is very accurate. This helps
explain the recent rapid spread of consumer GPS devices.

DoD says they reserve the right to turn it on if they want to, but I doubt 
they would - especially now that the EU is planning its own competing 
system.

It seems to me like they still need street addresses, unless they have a

You still have an ISP. You can't peer using something as tiny as a T1.
Just traceroute somewhere and you'll see what your ISP is. Then go
to their web site, look for the customer support page, and they should
list their NNTP server somewhere.

Alternatively, there is a free server in Germany you can use if your ISP
doesn't provide decent news service. Go to http://news.cis.dfn.de/ for
more information.

with some PHP Developers.  As I'm still learning (as we all are), it would be a great 
opportunity for me to be able to meet up and discuss this wonderful language with my 
peers.  Hopefully that'll come to pass! :o)

I emplore all PHP Developers to sign up for MEETUP.  You have nothing to loose, and 
everything to gain!

Want to meet other PHP developers in your area? Check out:

http://php.meetup.com/ 

Pretty nifty idea... especially given the lack of user groups in the U.S.

I thought for others who had not seen this I would post this. There is
probably already a user group in your area if you live near a major city.
According to the PHPusergroups.org web site
[http://www.phpusergroups.org/groups.phtml?menu=groups] there 189 PHP user
groups in 52 countries.

While there is nothing in my area (closest is Houston, over 3 hours away
:^[ , and I thought there would be one in Austin, even if I don't want to
drive an hour to go drink an adult beverage or two.) but you may find one
already exists in your area. Meetup is a cool idea, and appears to be
gaining ground slowly. Jon, did you cross-post to all PHP lists?

"Code! Yes. A programmer's strength flows from code maintainability. But
beware of Perl. Terse syntax... more than one way to do it...default
variables. The dark side of code maintainability are they. Easily they flow,
quick to join you when code you write.  If once you start down the dark
path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will." -- Yoda
