[PHP] Pipe an email to PHP

[Thomas Tremain]

 
I'm sure this question has been visited before, but I've had some troubles
searching through 
the archives.
 
This is at least a two part question.
 
I wish to use a pipe instead of the pop3 class, because I wish the email to
start the script 
instead of waiting for a cronjob.
 
1)  The pipe itself:
On a cPanel server, I wish to setup an email address with a pipe like:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  :
|/home/account/public_html/mailtools/emailscript.php
 
This always gives me an error saying it cannot foraward.
 
If I pipe it to "|/usr/bin/php
/home/account/public_html/mailtools/emailscript.php"
it tells me: "No input file specified."
 
2) to read the data:
 
I wish to parse the data into $from  $subject and $body
 
The data will then be manipulated, and key pieces of data will be extracted 
and sent to either a database or an instant message to my cell phone. (this 
part I've already solved)

Subject: [PHP] OO PHP question

I'm just beginning a new PHP system and would like to do it in an OO
way.
I'm having trouble getting my head around how I should store the data in
the
MySQL db. I mean do I build model objects in PHP and put logic right in
the
model so anytime I set a property of the object it makes the change to
the
DB right there and then (which may get chatty) or do I build model
objects
and then on pages, initialize them from the DB, do my work and send all
the
data to the db in one shot?

Everything I've done in PHP has been procedural till this point so I'm
up
for any advice, articles, links, etc.

In that case I hope you're also incrementing your own IDs and not
leaving that up to the db either. You might also do yourself a favor and
write down each transaction instead of hoping the computer will do it's
job correctly. ;)

But seriously, how likely is it for a db/table to just drop it's
constraint? And in what situations would/could that happen?

One that was we like to use is:   Describe an HTTP header.  

Most people who work with php/mysql (or any web development really)
should know what http headers are and (one would hope) be able to
describe them in some sort of detail.

My primary machine is a Mac OS X machine and I run Apache, whatever version
you would like, PHP, MySQL and all of the other fun stuff.  Plus I
administer a couple xserves and of course they can run it all also.  Now if
you are using OS 9 then tell them they need to upgrade to OS X.  OS 9 just
has too many problems and shouldn¹t be used as a webserver in my opinion.

Cheers!

Jay you are not looping through each row as far as I can see. You fetch
the row array once, getting you one seat and one alias. You loop through
the $myseat array against the one row, and I think you should loop
through the $myseat array for each row...right?

MacOS X runs Apache PHP MYSQL and probably anything else that you can
run on Linux/BSD. Actually it comes with Apache as default server.

I've debated with myself several times if this is really a good
method to not have duplicates in the database. 

Like what happens if for some reason the constraint gets dropped?
having your progam rely on the constraint will cause all data
integrity to go to hell.

Since the field is a unique index, there wont be much overhead in
the query itself.

Still undecided...

Re: [PHP] webserver for mac

[PHP] webserver for macIf your company is using MAC OS X, apache is the built in 
webserver.  If they are using less than that, apache is not going to work.  I would 
suggest that you have your client use OS X.  You can use the single user version if 
you are going to host just one site, if it's going to multiple site, user OS X Server.

Re: [PHP] webserver for mac

[Larry E . Ullman]

what do mac owners use for a webserver?
OS X users (Server and Client) use Apache 1.x, which is built-in. 
People with earlier versions of the operating system (OS 9 and earlier) 
used WebStar (I don't know if it supports PHP) or WebTen by Tenon 
(which is just a version of Apache and does support PHP). There may be 
others but those are the big two, I believe.

Re: [PHP] PHP Interview questions

[Ray Hunter]

Everyone has given some great information. I have some ideas i would
like to throw into the mix too.

Here are some topics:

1. Questions regarding HTTP protocols. (SSL)

2. Questions regarding the server that you will be deploying on.
   If you are deploying to apache or iis they should be familiar.

3. MySQL questions. (setup, maintenance, sql, optimization)
   There are many ways to do this and they should give you some answer.

4. Also questions regarding development platform.
   Do they know how to work on the platform. I dont know how man
   people i have seen that develop on windows and deploy to linux and
   have no idea how to debug on linux.

5. Questions regarding development practices. 
   - Coding standards
   - Design procedures and policies they have used.
   - Source code control: Cvs, Visual Source safe, etc.
   - Development life cycle.

6. What other techniologies do they know. Can these be utilized.


Hope that gives you some more to think about.

[PHP] Back button issue

[Tom Tsongas]

Hello folks.

I seem to be encountering a strange problem with one of my PHP pages. I 
have a form page that has textfields, textareas, pulldowns and menulists 
on it that the user uses to set up a query to scan for data on our 
database. After they run the query, they often hit the Back button to 
make slight changes to that query.

What I am noticing is that the values in the menulists seem to be 
resetting themselves and not retaining what the user had placed in them 
and they user the Back button. All the other forms elements work just 
fine. Seems like these menu lists don't behave the same way. This is 
consistent across both Netscape and IE.

I currently have my session hanlding on the page set to the following:
session_cache_limiter('none');
session_start();
Has anyone seen this behaviour before? Anyone know how to fix it?

- Tom

[PHP] dynamical balancing text in two colums

[Dynamical.biz]

Hi, I've been dealing withs this question:

I've never seen dynamical balanced text in two colums in a web so this the
challenge.

html formated text is stored in a database, conetion and placed into a
variable i.e.:
$text = "http://www.lamundial.net/img/labordeta.jpg"; align=left
border=0>efe.Zaragoza. El parlamentario.Some more text
tranquilo simplenente trabajando."; ... some more paragrphs just like
newspaper articles.

the first idea is this:
1. count the total characters in $text string so we can guess juts the half
2. getting into $tx1 variable the fisrt half
3. count the total characters in $tx1 till the fisrt "" STARTING from
the END to the BEGUINING of $tx1
4. getting into $col1 the fist part
5. getting into $col2 the rest
6. render the text in a table

//CODE
1. $half = floor(strlen($texto)/2);
2. $tx1 = substr($text,0,$half);
3. $first_P = strrpos($tx1,"");

4. $col1 = substr($text,0,$first_P);
5. $col2 = substr($text,$first_P);
6.

  


  


PROBLEMS
easy to know the middle point of a string but we have html code so easy to
break it badly, something like:
 so this is
why the  idea.

If there is a large paragrph in the middle of the whole text the columns the
two columns are not so nice balanced, this is why I ask the people writing
articles for my web trying to avoid long ones. They use HTMLAREA
http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/ from Interactive tools so
the html is not done by hand.

anyway just in case there is no way to correctly balance the text I let the
writer the "1 colum / 2 colums" as an option so the traditional 1 colum (no
colums) is always available. they can display the final render os the
article as they save it when writing so the decide.

this is working at most of the articles in
http://www.lamundial.net

i.e.:
http://www.lamundial.net/home.php?pg=article&idart=124
http://www.lamundial.net/home.php?pg=article&idart=121
http://www.lamundial.net/home.php?pg=article&idart=118

the text balancing is working quite nice


any other idea?
thanks

PHP is server side, so it obviously cannot control light bulbs. Use

With method 2 it seems like your template file would become redundant
because every one of them would have to contain the header and footer code.

I would use 3 template files, header.php, footer.php, and body_index.php

index.php would:

1. PERFORM LOGIC
2. include header
3. include body
4. include footer

Then, all you have to do is make new body_XXX.php files for each page on
your site and the header/footer content is contained in one place.

If it is a certain kind of failure, then you have a duplicate, otherwise it
could be another type of failure/error. Use mysql_errno() to make sure you
catch the right error as a duplicate.

Thought about using Smarty? http://smarty.php.net

And I completely don't understand Option #2. What does body() do and why
do you call it? Can you show some pseudo code to help us (or maybe it's
just me) understand how Option #2 works?

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

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


One  would expect sprintf not too round, but, behold, it does.
According to bugs.php.net, it is not a bug.

I had a problem with precision earlier which I solved...my 'precision'

Perhaps by truncating the string to your precision that you desire.

Can't you just link to \\computer_name\path\to\file.doc (or whatever the
filename is) ?

file:/// would try to load it off of their machine, not a network machine.

The mail() function does not support authentication. You may want to try

this SMTP class that lets you send messages via a server that requires 
authentication.

http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass

Use it in conjunction with this other class that lets you compose and

RE: [PHP] PHP Interview questions

[Javier Tacon]

Yes, I gree with all.

To test their mySql level, you can show them two tables, and the results from a join 
between the two tables, so you ask them for what is the SELECT statement to get that 
results.

Example ..

Table1:
++-+-+--+
| id | name| surname | departmentId |
++-+-+--+
|  1 | John| Doe |1 |
|  2 | Scott   | Johnson |2 |
|  3 | Mikael  | Martin  |2 |
|  4 | Nicolas | Survey  |3 |
++-+-+--+

Table2:
+++
| id | departmentName |
+++
|  1 | Production |
|  2 | Sales  |
|  3 | Marketing  |
+++

Question: What's the select statement to show this results:
+-+-++
| name| surname | departmentName |
+-+-++
| John| Doe | Production |
| Mikael  | Martin  | Sales  |
| Nicolas | Survey  | Marketing  |
| Scott   | Johnson | Sales  |
+-+-++

Answer: select name,surname, departmentName from table1 left join table2 on 
table1.departmentId=table2.id order by name asc;

This example is very very easy, don't put it into your exam :)
Look for other examples searching in google or any searcher ..

How are you going to grade it, though, if you don't know PHP or MySQL?

I say you should send them to the list and let us grill them!! We'll sort
out the riff-raff.. :)

Seriously, look at their portfolio, call their references, and MAKE them
write code.

TASK: Create a PHP application that will insert names and dates of birth
into a MySQL database.

CONDITIONS: Given the PHP Manual, MySQL Manual, Notepad (or similar text
editor), and database host, user, and password information.

STANDARD: The application will run without errors when complete. The
application will accept a first name, last name, and date of birth (in
DDMMMYY format) through an HTML form and store the information in a MySQL
database. The application will list all current entries in the database in
an HTML table after a new row is inserted.

Things to look for:

1. Do they program for register_globals ON or OFF?
2. Do they check the setting of magic_quote_gpc?
3. Do they include error checking of form data and queries?
4. Is their program open to cross site scripting or SQL injection attacks?
5. Do they use a DATE type column or VARCHAR column for dates?
6. Do they write valid HTML?
7. How many files do they use to accomplish the task?
8. Do they try to add extra "fluff" instead of just accomplishing the task?

Hopefully others will pipe up with their comments, also. :)

OOhhh... You know, I already HAVE done this, and I just came to the

That's just a waste of resources.

I should instead just try to perform the INSERT and then if it fails I
know I've already got a record. If it doesn't I know everything is cool.

Hello,

Bit suprised that mozilla didn't let you access the file using the

There isn't any other way in which you can use PHP to access files on a

signed java applets.

[PHP] Website templating schemes

[Joel Konkle-Parker]

I'm trying to make a PHP-backed website, and I'm trying to decide between two
templating schemes:

1. define 2 php template files: header.php, footer.php. in index.php, require
header.php, output content, require footer.php

2. define a php template file and a local page file. index.php defines body()
and crequires template.php. template.php prints the header, calls body() to
print the content, and and prints the footer.

I'm currently using the second method, but I've only seen the first used
elsewhere. Is there a reason that #1 is better than #2 (or is anything else even
better than that?)?

editor), and database host, user, and password information.

STANDARD: The application will run without errors when complete. The
application will accept a first name, last name, and date of birth (in
DDMMMYY format) through an HTML form and store the information in a MySQL
database. The application will list all current entries in the database in
an HTML table after a new row is inserted.

Things to look for:

1. Do they program for register_globals ON or OFF?
2. Do they check the setting of magic_quote_gpc?
3. Do they include error checking of form data and queries?
4. Is their program open to cross site scripting or SQL injection attacks?
5. Do they use a DATE type column or VARCHAR column for dates?
6. Do they write valid HTML?
7. How many files do they use to accomplish the task?
8. Do they try to add extra "fluff" instead of just accomplishing the task?

Hopefully others will pipe up with their comments, also. :)

Fixed the problem using "s" pattern modifier: '/regexp/s', without it, it
still hangs using '(.|\n)' in the pattern.

What do you mean by "called"? They include() each other? What level of
access does a "registered user" have?

If you don't want something to be accessible via a URL, then don't put it in
the webroot. Move the modules into an external directory, and include them
in.

Certainly.

It crashes out when attempting to parse large files. My resource limits are
set to 20m in the php.ini file, so thats not the issue.

$matches = array();

// output number of matches

Re: [PHP] PHP Interview questions

[Peter James]

Even better than questions, make a one or two hour case study.  Have them
demonstrate their ability.

1. How would you solve X problem?
2. What do you think about Y?
3. Write some code to solve Z?

A good place for ideas for case studies might be codewalkers, weberdev, or
php-editors.

There's a big difference between talking and walking.

My 2 cents.

Re: [PHP] math functions?

[Amanda McComb]

The reason was because we are having intermittent network problems and I
was unable to search for it.  That's why I was asking for a place to find
math functions.  

I also asked for a "mod" function, which in most languages is short for
modulus.

Read back through your question, and at least one problem should be very clear:

1. The client sends you data in a POST request.
2. You have register_globals disabled.
3. You reference $chk.

You need to reference this as $_POST['chk']. Read this:

http://www.php.net/register_globals

Also, as others have mentioned, you need to understand how to work with arrays
a bit more. The manual can be very helpful. Read this:

http://us2.php.net/array

Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP] Re: math functions?

Just to be precise, modulus does NOT return true and false. Given A%B it
returns the remainder after dividing B into A. This happens to be
equivalent to false when there is no remainder, and equivalent to true
when there is a remainder.

Rob.

on a side note, you realize that you could loose all all of the while loops

Build yourself one big array and loop through it.

I had an admin put it on, and then took it off - but took it off by removing

The date/time of the files being put there seems to correspond with when the

And I just wanted to make sure I'm not going to screw up something else by
removing them. :)
Thanks!
the easiest way to remove them is to use RPM, if that was what was used 
to install them
rpm -e ImageMagick

if there are no dependency problems, then it will go ahead.

make sure that you don't have any libraries that use it! I use 
ImageMagick in a PHP image-upload function that resizes to a maximum 
size. The RPM program would not tell you of that dependency.

two mistakes - you need to use &, and the static var must be in
getInstancia()

function &getInstancia(){
 static $miInstancia;
 if (!get_class($miInstancia) == 'db') {
 $miInstancia = &new db();
 }
 return $miInstancia;
}

$conexiondb = &db::getInstancia();

[PHP] math functions?

[Amanda McComb]

I am having trouble finding math functions on php.net.  I am also getting
"page not found" errors when trying to search.

Basically, I'm looking for a mod or division function - something I can
use to tell me when a number is evening divisable by a certain number.

Thanks!

[PHP] Re: pear problem

[Catalin Trifu]

Hi,

Did you added the /usr/php/pear/share/pear in the php.ini
include_path option ?
Besides the mime is part of Mail_Mime extension and
SOAP needs some extensions too (don't remember exactly which)
so check if all requirements are met.
btw! what's the error message when it crashes ?

Cheers,

[PHP] Image Magick

[Mike At Spy]

Anyone here familiar with the installation of Image Magick and what files it
installs on your machine?

I had an admin put it on, and then took it off - but took it off by removing
what she thought were all of the files related to it.  I just found some
files I think that are.  They are located in the usr/local/bin directory and
are called:

animate
composite
convert
display
identify
mogrify
montage

The date/time of the files being put there seems to correspond with when the
admin put the program on, and names of the files seem to imply it to me.

And I just wanted to make sure I'm not going to screw up something else by
removing them. :)

Thanks!

Isn't $chk an array? To pass an array in a form, you should serialize it and
encode it, then after receiving it you decode it and unserialize it:

$portable_array = base64_encode(serialize($array));

You can then pass $portable_array as a form hidden input value. To turn it
back into an array:

$array = unserialize(base64_decode($portable_array));

You need to serialize() the array in order to pass all of it's values.

$ser = urlencode(serialize($chk));

$url = "confirmrequest.php?requested=$ser";

Then on the receiving side...

$chk = unserialize($_GET['requested']);

You could also just add it to the session and make it easy...

$_SESSION['chk'] = $chk;

and on the receiving page:

$chk = $_SESSION['chk'];

[PHP] problem passing variable between forms.

[Angelo Zanetti]

HI all

I have a form in which I have a table with dynamic checkboxes, they are in a
checkbox array ( name = chk[]...), I pass this variable to the next page
using POST I receive the variable and use it, no problem, but then when I
try to pass it to the next form in the URL (using an A HREF:

  )

 then it doesnt get passed. I have also tried sending it with POST and a
submit button


On the page that receives the variable (or meant to ) I have tried this with
POST:

$chk_array =  $_POST['chk'];


===
and this with sending the variable as part of the URL:

echo("count chk: " . count($requested). "");
===

My register_globals is off. I am not sure what Im doing wrong,

Help would be appreciated

Thanx In advance

		$_SESSION['UA_coky'] = $_REQUEST['UA_coky'];
		... add more vars
	}
	header( "Location: http://mydomain.com/secondPage.php"; );
	exit;
}
?>



	




	
	
	... add more hidden fields



	UA_form = document.forms[0];

	UA_form['UA_coky'].value = navigator.cookieEnabled;

	... set more values

	UA_form.submit();





Then you can send the client the page tailored for him and to know in 
advance what can you expect from him.
It would be nice if the browser sent in the request a flag about this 
funcionality.
Sure this code can be improved (I'd love ideas about it) but think the 
knowledge of what's exactly is in the other side will pay the extra process.

Sorry about my english

[PHP] php and var statics

[Alvaro Martinez]

I have written this code:

class db{
   var $_miInstancia;

   function db (){
  // funcion que se conecta con la BBDD
 static $miInstancia;
 $this->_miInstancia=&$miInstancia;

 $result = @mysql_pconnect("inforalv", "discoteca", "password");
 if (!$result)
   return false;
 if ([EMAIL PROTECTED]("discoteca"))
   return false;
   }

function getInstancia(){
   if (!isset($this))
  $_miInstancia=new db();
   return $_miInstancia;
}
}

This is a Singleton Pattern, but it doesnt work.
I want to obtain only one instance of db class but when I do this...:

   $conexiondb=db::getInstancia();
   $conexiondb=db::getInstancia();

In the two calls I get a new db object.
Could you please tell me if there is anything wrong?

Thanks.

alvaro

First, look at the manual for sessions. You have posted many questions
where the manual would have provided you a solution. 

Are you placing session_start() at the top of each page where you expect
session variables to be available? You should be...

Have a pleasant day.

RE: [PHP] Cron time to activate mail and error handling

[Jay Blanchard]

[snip]
1. We want to activate cron to wake up at certain time.  We do not know
how
to configure the time for waking up?
[/snip]

cron should be "active" all of the time. Type;

ps aux | grep cron

and you shold see cron running as a daemon

[snip]
2. We are sending mails using PHP program.  PHP program is activated
Cron.
We want to know wheather the mail was sent successfully or not.  How do
we
know about the success and failure
[/snip]

Put your e-mail address at the end of the list to make sure that you
receive a copy of the e-mail to be sent. Or put in a process to send you
an e-mail at the end of the PHP script notifying you that the job is
complete. As to "successful" are you meaning whether or not the
receipient got the e-mail? Check for bounced e-amils?

I should have explained that the setup is a problem because the site uses a
content management system that updates a few static HTML pages -- the pages
that get hit most often. The commercial host seems to have changed their
standard setup so that my CMS can no longer update these pages since PHP no
longer has permission to write to public_html. (I'll eventually get an
explanation from the host. I find I have to email one simple question at a
time.)

I could change the permissions of public_html to 777, but that doesn't seem
like a good idea. I could write the static files to a subdirectory, but that
would require rewriting several output functions. Or I could ask the
commercial host to change ownership of public_html to userid.userid. But is
there a security problem with that?
