Re: [PHP] Autonomous Mass Mail List System (Broadcast Email)
Sure - I did this with qmail. In your .qmail file or any file that passes the
incoming mail to /dev/stdin you need to pipe it to a php script. It will look
like this:
?
$fp = fopen('/dev/stdin','r');
while(!feof($fp))
{
$line = trim(fgets($fp,4096));
if(ereg("^From:",$line))
{
// example of parsing out the From: header
}
}
?
I had email addresses setup like ezmlm -
ie [EMAIL PROTECTED] or on the other hand
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - then just parse out the
To: address and replace the = with a @ (dashes as well with something else) and
remove the email.

Hey Everyone,
I'm working a project for one of the company's websites. they have a subscription
mailing list that the user signs up their email address to receies periodical
emailings.
The email addresses are stored in a flat txt file. 1 email per line. I could also
convert it to a coma delimited txt file if it would be easier.
So, they've had problem with people who no longer want to receive emails, and one's
that bounce for whatever reason, generally a bad email address.
What I am trying to find out if who has some information to set up a system where we
will send out our emails to the subscribers with our mailing list manager. when i
customer respondes with a certain command in the body or subject (like unsubscribe)
or if the mail bounces, I'd like it to search out the email address and delete it.
Now, I know there's lists like majordomo that do something similar. But I'm looking
for something a little more straightforward.
I also know this may be more along the lines of shell scripting, but I thought some
of you ingenious people may have already done something similar or have some ideas on
where to start. thanks.

Re: [PHP] Pricing for PHP programming???
You are taking this WAY to seriously. What you are talking about is the Sherman Act that developed our current antitrust laws. Specifically you are talking about "price fixing", which is illegal in the US. If EVERY PHP coder in the US got together at a trade show and said "We will all demand $150.00 an hour no matter what" then THAT would be illegal. Me mentioning to you how much I charge is totally legal. This mainly applies to big businesses and large manufacturers - OPEC for example would be TOTALLY illegal in the US. --Joe On Thu, Feb 01, 2001 at 08:49:00AM -0500, Brian V Bonini wrote: Isn't it illegal in the US to discuss rates in this manner?

Re: [PHP] Bug or what?
We had NASTY problems with cookies on different servers. I've even seen code
work on one linux/apache machine and not another. This is usually due to the
fact that the server's clock is off from the browsers clock (or vice versus)
and the browser sees that the cookie has passed and destroys it without setting
it.

Everything works fine when I use these two files with Apache running on Solaris, RH,

browser supports cookies of course. But... If I use Microsoft IIS with these two
files it never works! The cookie is NEVER sent to the browser (this was verified
using Netscape's option to warn about new cookies coming in) and obviously I always
receive the error message stating that my browser doesn't support cookies!
Impossible! The same application running on two different servers produces different
results? Is it a bug?

Re: [PHP] Catagory list
This is what I'd do:
$sql = "SELECT disinct category FROM article ORDER BY category";
$r = mysql_query($sql);
while($cat = mysql_fetch_array($r))
{
$id = $cat['id'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM article WHERE category='$id'";
$x = mysql_query($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($x))
{
// echo articles here
}
}
The permanent solution is to make a separate table called "categories" and then
do a join on the categoryID from the two tables.

[PHP] something of interest on the GTK front
I've just finished a proof of concept tutorial about how to create a GTK app to be your backend on a dynamic PHP site. It steps you through makeing the API, the GTK app, and the frontend. You can check it out at: http://gtk.php-coder.net/docs/joe2001_03_31.4.html For you GTK users it also has a pretty comprehensive example of GtkText(), which seemed to be lacking. --Joe /**\ *Joe Stump - PHP/SQL/HTML Developer * * http://www.care2.com - http://www.miester.org - http://gtk.php-coder.net * * "Better to double your money on mediocrity than lose it all on a dream." * \**/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] building a php based subscription site (not a porn site)
What I usually do is set a cookie BEFORE sending them to the paypal site then on the confirm page (which they click through to after they paid) check for the cookie - if it's there then activate the account. If not then delete the account after 5 days (gives them plenty of time to bitch if they didn't click through). Make sure to put a LARGE notice on your signup form explaining exactly how to activate their account.

I'm aware of the fact that you can specify include path, but I believe that
this is not the best solution, since applications written that way aren't
easily portable.
What I'm looking for is something similar to what / does in HTML paths and

Hi Joe,
the reason I changed to 'include on demand' was a rather large
application which would not work, as the memory limit that my isp had
set wouldn't suffice.
I have files that are included all the way, yes: DB connection, some
common helpers, etc. But I would not include files that the current
state of an application (or part of the site) does not need to keep
things small.
This is especially true for some classes which before included both user
access and 'admin' function (for, say, user authentication and
administration). I split all of these up into two classes, so that the
part that is accessed when a regular user hits the site is minimal, and
the administrative functions won't be loaded in that case.

Thanks for your help.
I send roughly 1M of these and put a sleep() (not usleep - that's
microseconds)
into the while loop - I've come up with a decent balance that sends out a
good
number (like 5000) and then sleeps just long enough to get them out of
qmail's
queue, then it sends another 5000 (and so on).
Usually takes about 24 hours to send out 1M messages.

Re: [PHP] isset()
I stand firm on strlen() for the following reasons ...
if(!$var) will sometimes act strangely (has for me in the past) when variables
are set to something other than what you are expecting.
if(isset($var)) will return true if your text field is declared but not filled
in.
if(empty($var)) will return true if $var is set to 0 (for obvious reason) so is
only good for certain instances.
strlen() on the other hand converts the variable to a string and returns a count
of characters. It's never failed or acted funky. For this reason I use it
religiously.
Others might say "well it's extra overhead" to which I reply "I'll take an extra
bazillionth of a second to know for sure I have what I need"

As far as your sniplet goes, it is possible that there may be some
PHP type-casting issues here, depending on: whether $AgeChild is
numeric or string; the fact that the STRING "false" isn't equivalent
to the CONSTANT false, the use of == vs. ===.

Subject: Re: [PHP] isset()
I stand firm on strlen() for the following reasons ...
if(!$var) will sometimes act strangely (has for me in the past) when
variables
are set to something other than what you are expecting.
if(isset($var)) will return true if your text field is declared but not
filled
in.
if(empty($var)) will return true if $var is set to 0 (for obvious
reason)
so
is
only good for certain instances.
strlen() on the other hand converts the variable to a string and returns
a
count
of characters. It's never failed or acted funky. For this reason I use
it
religiously.
Others might say "well it's extra overhead" to which I reply "I'll take
an
extra
bazillionth of a second to know for sure I have what I need"

Re: [PHP] isset()
you do not want to use strlen() for the following reasons: 1) makes code unreadable - very sloppy Yeah and your if(isset($var) $var != '') is pretty 2) overhead You call one function and do two comparisons - vs an age old C function I'd like to run some numbers on that. 3) it will give a warning when $var is not set (error_reporting 15 only). I run on the default error_reporting setting and it's never complained so far. --Joe -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- --- Joe Stump, PHP Hacker, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -o) http://www.miester.org http://www.care2.com /\\ "It's not enough to succeed.

Re: [PHP] mySQL table joins are slow, need rebuild?
You need to remember a few things when it comes to joins:
the joined fields must be the EXACT same definition
- example: a join on id int(9) and id int(3) will NOT be optimized
- more: a join on id char(9) and id int(9) is REALLY NOT optimized :O)
We have an accounts table with userID as the key char(15) (don't ask, it's an
old design made by a former employee) which has roughly 1.6 million rows in it.
We regularily do joins on it with other tables that have thousands of records
in less than .05 seconds.
This sounds like a table structure problem to me.

'Mar' = 3,'Apr' = 4,

Re: [PHP] array speed
You can do some test with microtime() and see how long it takes. 350 elements isn't really a large array. I've seen PHP chew through arrays of 250k plus in only a second or so. It will take longer for 350 elements to be shoved out to the output buffer than it would to actually loop through it. --Joe On Thu, Apr 05, 2001 at 10:41:10PM +0300, Rouvas Stathis wrote: I wouldn't worry about that.

Re: [PHP] array speed
let me be more clear about the microtime() - do something like:
?
$start = microtime();
while(list($key,$val) = each($array))
{
// do something
}
$end = microtime();
echo "It took ".($end - $start)." microseconds do loop through the array.\n";

Re: [PHP] better functionality in query ?
NOTE(!): LIKE '%foo%' DOES NOT SCALE. It looks like you are making a phone book,
which could get to be a lot of numbers. On the other hand 'foo%' oddly scales to
hundreds of thousands of records without any problems (make sure it's key'd!).
Which should work fine in your instance - just have people type in the first
4 letters of the persons name.

Subject: RE: [PHP] better functionality in query ?
I'm in process of creating a online whitepages directory for
a small town phone company and I am having a little difficulty
in refining my selection. My search form has two fields; last
and first name. I would like to be able to have more of a wild
card approach and some refinement when a user enters both a
first and last name. I am unsure how to go about this, should
I restructure my query, or make changes to my PHP. here is the
query I am currently using. and the site is located at
http://whitepages.maadtelco.com/ any assistance/direction is certainly
appreciated.
snip
$query = "select * from whitepages WHERE last_name LIKE '$last_name' ORDER
BY last_name" or die("Nothing to see here");
/snip
$query = "SELECT * FROM whitepages WHERE last_name LIKE '%$last_name%' ORDER
BY last_name" or die("Nothing to see here");
Question, why are you 'die'ing on a variable assigntment? Wouldn't you want
to 'die' on the actualy db_query()?
Note the added '%', this is assuming you are using MySQL, though they are
generally the same, I believe, with other DB's. The % is essentially
wildcard of any amount. So, if the last_name was BOB
it would find
BOBBY
BOBBER
ADOBOB
$query = "SELECT * FROM whitepages WHERE last_name LIKE '%$last_name%'
$andor first_name LIKE '%$first_name' ORDER
BY last_name" or die("Nothing to see here");
In this query, we are including the First Name. In this, we are also using
the $andor variable, which you can define as AND, or OR, or allow the user
to define it by using a radio box or the like when making the search. I
suggest setting a default of OR for the variable $andor.

Re: [PHP] Date formatting

list($date,$time) = explode(' ',$event);

$arrB[] = $arr;
while(list(,$my_array) = each($arrB))

Yeah, it's giving me results too today. I don't know what went wrong
yesterday.
To extend my question, I'm trying to work with multidimensional arrays.
For example, I would like to do this:
?
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$target_array = array();
echo "starting br";
for( $i=0; $i5; $i++ )
for( $j=0; $j5; $j++ )
{
$res = $i * $j;
$target_array[$i][$j] = $res;
print("result = $target_array[$i][$j] br");
}
echo "done";
?
And this is my result today:
starting
result = Array[0]
result = Array[1]
result = Array[2]
result = Array[3]
result = Array[4]
result = Array[0]
result = Array[1]
result = Array[2]
result = Array[3]
result = Array[4]
result = Array[0]
result = Array[1]
result = Array[2]
result = Array[3]
result = Array[4]
result = Array[0]
result = Array[1]
result = Array[2]
result = Array[3]
result = Array[4]
result = Array[0]
result = Array[1]
result = Array[2]
result = Array[3]
result = Array[4]
done
My thinking is that PHP ought to be like C when doing simple stuff like
this.
I must have something wrong with the declaration of the array.
How do you declare a multidimensional array??!!??
How do you work with it then???
Thanks in advance!!

Re: [PHP] Inputing data to a relational database
www.mysql.com - Documentation - is you know how to insert data using SQL already then just make the PHP script. --Joe On Mon, Apr 09, 2001 at 01:11:57AM +0100, Nathan Roberts wrote: I am a nebie to Mysql/php and am currently working on an urgent project, a on-line catalogue. I have been using phpmyadmin, to create the tables in MySQL. However I now want to add data into the tables. I am reluctant to program a php page to do this, as I do not (yet) have sufficient php knowledge. As far as I can see phpMyadmin doesn't do all I need it to, which is:- The tables reference each other, for example The categories are stored in a categories table The products table includes a field category to ensure referential integrity, when adding a product to the products table, I want to have a combo box that will let me select one of the categories from the categories table. Is there anything like phpmyadmin that will let me do this without me having to write code.

Re: [PHP] parse error
Worked for me, but I had to make sure that $messagearray was in fact an array.
So wrap that block of code in this:
if(is_array($messagearray) sizeof($messagearray))
{
}

Re: [PHP] uninstalling PHP4
I think the more important question is: Why would you want to uninstall it? ;o) --Joe On Sun, Apr 08, 2001 at 08:40:57PM -0400, David Loszewski wrote: how do I tell? -Original Message- From: Rasmus Lerdorf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2001 8:32 PM To: David Loszewski Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] uninstalling PHP4 I just uninstalled MySQL, now how do i uninstall PHP4, I installed it from a .tar file. Just remove the LoadModule line from your httpd.conf assuming you built PHP as a DSO. If you compiled it into your Apache as a static module you will need to recompile Apache. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /**\ *Joe Stump - PHP/SQL/HTML Developer * * http://www.care2.com - http://www.miester.org - http://gtk.php-coder.net * * "Better to double your money on mediocrity than lose it all on a dream." * \**/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
