RE: [PHP] apache1.3.22 won't start with php4.0.6
uhhh... the php psychic says she needs your birthdate and name first. =P but really, give some useful info. what OS? how is PHP compiled... are you using the CGI style standalone, or is it compiled into Apache, or is it a apache module? Whats the error it gives you on the console when trying to run it. Whats the error produced in the apache log? etc... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 10:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] apache1.3.22 won't start with php4.0.6 Hi, Does anyone know how to get round this problem?

[PHP] Sending Broadcast Email - will a large loop cause a crash?
Hi, I need to send a broadcast email to our customers (about 3,000 emails). The data is being drawn for the DB, and will be personalized. Obviously, the code to do this is only a few lines. However, I am concerned with the load it will put on the system trying to loop through and mail() 3,000+ times. Because of the overhead I anticipate this will cause the server, I am planning to do it late in the evening. My concern is this... will such a loop calling mail() cause PHP/Apache/the box/etc to crash under normal circumstances? We have a pretty beefy box, I just have never tried broadcasting through PHP. Also, if there is any reasonable chance for such a failure, is it possible to put timed pauses in, say half a second or so before it continues the loop. I've never heard of inserting pauses into the execution of PHP code, not sure if its possible. If it were, I would think this could combat some of the load, and prevent the bottleneck from building backlog until failure. Who knows, maybe this type of routine won't even make my box flinch (P3-833, FreeBSD, 256 megs), that's why I'm asking ahead of time. I'd hate to see a crash, mainly because I'll have no idea where it left off, and will end up sending 2 or more emails to some people if I have to run it more than once.

[PHP] Mixing PHP with a FAX Gateway? HELP!!! IDEAS???
Hey, I'm wondering if anyone here has any experiencing mixing webware with a FAX solution on the unix platform, particulary FreeBSD 4.2. I have 2 seperate possilble solutions here. The first involves faxing using software configured on the server. The 2nd is a PHP type solution, capturing HTML from a URL and assembling it into an attachment for email. Please give me any thoughts you can offer on these. What I currently have is a e-commerce solution I wrote in PHP. There are pages that are generated (sort of like a populated form) that need to be faxed. This is all theory I am talking right now, because I have never done anything like this, including just faxing from a server. Now, what would it entail to get our dedicated server preped to do faxing for starters. It's at our colo facility and gobs of bandwidth. Obviously we have no modem connected at this point, and I don't even know if an actual phone line would be available to us. So, what I am guessing is that there are services that offer dial-out gateways for faxing and such, over the Internet. Where, our software can send data to a faxing gateway, which in turn sends the fax through their lines. Anyone know of any services like this? Also, what type of faxing software is available on FreeBSD? How does it integrate with actual means of faxing (gateways/modem) etc. Basically, the whole fax over server thing is new to me, and I'm trying to see if anyone has any experience at all doing this. The goal is: when you are looking at this rendered HTML page, you have a button that says Fax and when you click on it, the web page you are looking at is faxed off, through the server, looking just as it appeared on the screen basically (which merely consists of text in tables, and a couple HR's). The goal is to make this as seamless as possible. 2nd solution- Now, eFax offers you a service where you can send an email, containing an attachment, such as .html and it will render the email and attachments and fax them off like they look. This would not be such a bad idea, but we want to avoid people having to manually Send Page By Email through outlook each time. What I am thinking if I can capture the HTML that is generated from the script (ie- showdetails.php?order_id=432) and then create an attachment of that HTML (ie- my_attachment_to_fax.html) and then send it through email ( function mail(); ) that would be perfect. Anyone have any code on how capture the HTML from a URL (fopen(); ?) and then assemble that into an attachment (.html / correct mime type/headers) and send it off? Sound plausible? Please give me any insight to either of these methods. Thank you.

[PHP] Credit Card Gateway Recommendations?
Ok, I know most of you integrate your code into some for of e-commerce to accept credit cards. I want to know what your favorite credit card gateway (authorization) provider is. Preferably, I am looking for a gateway that allows you to connect to their server directly through the code, via sockets, as opposed to posting data a URL and receiving the response on another script. However, if there is a solution to those types of gateways (that do redirect back to a script after authorization) to get around that and communicate directly with the gateways code from the SSL URL without having to do that redirect BS, that would be great too. I am thinking this could possibly be obtained using CURL from inside the code? Basically, let me know what your favorite company is to accept credit cards, as seemless as possible with your PHP code. And, hopefully it isn't any that require the actual browser to send data anywhere else outside my site (i want my code to handle it all behind the scenes).

[PHP] E-Commerce - Integrating Sessions With Charging Processes That rePOST
Hi, I have basically seen and used two methods for integrating credit card gateways into PHP code. The first method is one that opens a socket to the gateway server and sends the data from within the code. The second is where FORM data is posted to a https URL with the URL is should send the response back to, with the confirmation code, etc. I traditionally use PG for situations of e-commerce, mainly because of transactions. I like the first method better, because I feel it is more secure, seemless, and less chance for errors to occur (either user induced, or other problems). I like being able to store all of the required data in sessions (rather than adding to the DB at each step) and then making all of the transactional queries at the end of the credit card charging process. The problem I face is that all of the companies I've researched that allow direct socket integration seem to charge quite a bit more in general than those that use the POST/REDIRECT method of charging. So, if anyone knows of a reliable and affordable company that allows socket integration, that would solve the problem best. However, because of budget issues, I may need to use one of these cheaper companies, who ultimately use the POST/REDIRECT method. My questions are how do you securly, reliably, and seemlessly integrate sessions within that type of gateway. Because once the form data is posted to the credit card gateway, it redirects (posts response data) back to the script of your choice. However, in my experience, the sessions are not restored/recognized until the browser is refreshed on the client side (through the use of JavaScript) to get the server to recognize the request as coming from your user, rather than the as a post from the gateway. I don't want to have to deal with getting sloppy and adding additional refreshes/java script if thats the only way to do it. If I were to merely have the code generate a form based on hidden tags and have javascript auto-form submit, then I would open to security problems, because I could no longer restrict the script the gateway respondes to by an HTTP_REFFER. Because the clients order id that is generated will be stored as a session, I need a way to reference the order ID and confirmation code that is returned by the posted data from the gateway, against the session data to start inserting the data into the DB if it was a successful charge. Any ideas...? Maybe there's a quick solution out there I am just overlooking. The solution would be easy if I wasn't inserting all of my data at the end of the process based on the session data. But this is how the code is has to work, so what do you all think, how should I deal with this?
