Re: [PHP] 95th percentile of an array.
Just out of curiosity, wouldnt it be better to use floor($n) instead of round($n-0.5)?

Re: [PHP] Mail Function In PHP
If you control your DNS server setup and such, DKIM and authentication technologies alikes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys) are the way to go. Also, make sure the reverse DNS lookup is pointing to the right place, i.e. that the SMTP server domain name translates to an IP that translates back to the same domain name when you do a reverse lookup. Since this is really something more of a network arch. setup, you probably will find more answers for that on ServerFault or the likes.

Rules like this get tightened up because of the desire to curb spam at the source.

More sensibly though, I would assume that you could use some sort of certificate for this, although I don't know much about mail servers.

[PHP] Including file from a registered shutown function on a syntax parse error
Greetings, If I register a shutdown function in PHP (to catch syntax parse errors and send them in logs), it looks like I can open files, but I cannot do includes - that is, if the reason of exit is a syntax parse error. Is this a desired effect? It seems a tad odd that I could do eval(preg_replace(#^\?[php]?#, , file_get_contents($file))); but not include($file); -- Marc Trudel-Bélisle www.wizcorp.jp
