[PHP] Custom pipe script failure code

2007-10-02 Thread Alan Fullmer

Hello,

I have a quick question regarding the pipe function in Postfix and the 
use of PHP as a mail sorter/parser.   I've looked around and see many 
people have used PHP as a quick and dirty solution for putting mail data 
into a database.


I am taking all incoming mail, parsing out headers and putting the mail 
into a MySQL database.   The problem I have is, if the script cannot 
connect to the database, the script fails.  What I want is to have this 
message return back into the normal mail queue with a temporary failure 
or something so it can retry at a later time without disappearing into 
never never land.  The reason for this, is if there is a connection 
failure, or the database stops for some reason, I don't want these 
messages to be lost due to a script failure.


Here is my pipe command:
spamfilter unix - n n - - pipe
 flags=DRq user=spamfilter argv=/scripts/spamfilter.sh -f ${sender} -- 
${recipient}


Here is my spamfilter.sh command:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/spamc -f -u $4  |  /scripts/parsemessage.php $4
exit $?


So is there a way to exit(); with some sort of code to put that message 
back into the queue?  I have read that I need to exit(75); but that does 
not work.  If anyone could help, that would be more than fantastic.


Thanks,
Alan

RE: [PHP] Session Problem

Does your system have permission to write to the temp directory?

Put on error_reporting(E_ALL) and see if it throws an error.

Subject: [PHP] Session Problem

I am having a problem where it appears that the session is not being saved
properly.

While on a page, I can start a session and set variables to it. however,
when I go to the next page.. the session variables appear to have been
cleared out.

first page:
session_start();

$_SESSION[user_level] = test;



second page:

session_start();

echo $_SESSION[user_level] ;



We just installed php on the 2003 server.  Is there maybe a problem with the
php.ini file that I need to fix?

Subject: RE: [PHP] html forms in php

 Good day all,
 
 I have a problem for you all..
 I have a form that has has the ability to delete a lot of information from
 my MySQL database.
 
 I would like to create a bit of security, in case the user hits the button
 by accident.
 I would like to create an additionnal window that would appear that would
 ask:
 Are you sure? and then a yes and no buttons to confirm the deletion
 or
 to cancel the command.
 
 Any thougts??

Hi Phil,

You can achieve this in several ways. One would be to use a JavaScript
onClick event on the 'dangerous' button to pop up a dialog with your 'Are
you sure?' prompt and the yes/no buttons. If the user clicks on the 'no'
button, you use JavaScript to cancel the page submission. If they click on
the 'yes' button, the page submits. This approach would mean assuming that
your users have JavaScript enabled.

A second approach would be to have an intermediary page between the page
with the button, and the page that performs the actual delete. The
intermediary page would be little more than another form with the yes/no
buttons.

Much warmth,

Murray

RE: [PHP] error message while mysqling on php

2005-09-13 Thread Alan Fullmer
I see two things that could be it.

#1 your $result is not $result = mysql_query(queryline);

Or #2  your syntax on your query line is bad.

You can try doing something like this:

$query = SELECT * FROM table etc blah;
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);


Sometimes the error message can be more explicit if you tell it to print it.
If you get no error on that query statement, then your query is fine.

 I have received an error: Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is
 not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/www/mksystem.net when trying to
 execute $num = mysql_num_rows($result);
 
 Please go to http://mksystem.net/phpinfo.php and tell me whether it is due
 to the version of php I have on server and an easy workaround would be
 appreciated.

Check the syntax of your SQL statement, it's very possible you have an error
in it somewhere. If you have PHPMyAdmin, or some other interface to MySQL
such as MySQL Query Browser, etc, try executing the SQL statement in one of
them directly, to see if they return a valid resultset.

Much warmth,

Murray

Where did you hear that PHP Nuke required a powerful server?  I personally
implemented PHP Nuke on a Windoz box (one strike there), that ran on a 166
mmx box (a big second strike), and benchmarked it handling 90 concurrent
users, with no noticeable delays.  If I were you, I'd dig deeper into what
you heard and you may find that someone had another agenda in mind when
they passed along that info.  It's unfortunate, but there are lots of
people in the IT field that distort results to justify an already
conceived opinion.

go figure,

 I've got an order for the media portal. Thus, I'm looking for an open
 source portal systems. First that comes to my mind is PHP-Nuke, but I
 heared that it requires a powerful server and i'll have just a
 middle-level one. So, could someone knows another PHP-based open
 source portal systems? Thank you in advance.

 Hi,
 I have downloaded and am fooling around with small http server...while
 reading the documentation I see that you can intergrate it with PHP/PERL
etc
 but the details are a little high funda for me, just too scarce or not
 written properly (the authors first language is not english - but he wrote
a
 great piece of software)

 My question is: Anybody here using that software? and if yes, have you
been
 able to plug php and mySql into it?
 again, if yes...how?

 Thanks,
 -Ryan
