[PHP] PHP to get mail headers
I run a small ISP and am looking at ways to automate grabbing the headers from email. I currently copy all email to a BSD box, then use Pine in header mode to get the IP addresses from which I build my spam filters. A search did not yield much in what I am trying to do: 1)Open the mailbox and extract the Received, From and Subject headers. 2)Drop those into a database that I can manage from the browser. Sounds simple enough and I am sure I am making it harder than it really is, but if you know of a project please let me know.

Re: [PHP] RedHat
John- This would best be asked on a Red Hat list, but I can tell you that if you are using Red Hat 7.3 I would not really count on getting them to release PHP 4.3 as once a major Red Hat release is out they usually only provide security updates - NOT feature updates. Red Hat also modifies the version numbers to reflect the security updates so if you have PHP 4.1 on Red Hat 7.3 it might be PHP 4.1.25 which is the Red Hat number. You can look around on www.rpmfind.net or www.freshrpms.net for an updated PHP, but it may not be compatible with the Red Hat version you are running. In the future if you want to count on program feature updates you would be best to install Apache, PHP and MySQL from source. -Scott On Sat, 5 Apr 2003, John Taylor-Johnston wrote: Where would I go on the redHat site to ask when they are going to upgrade to PHP 4.3 and MySQL 4.x (now in production).

Now I want to move the user accounts to a MySQL table that Postfix, Radius and Apache/PHP can share to authenticate the users. In other words, just as your passwords are stored in a plain text file, store them in plain text in the db. Then to confirm them, take the first 2 characters of the crypted password, use them as the salt to crypt the password the user entered, and compare the results. If that are the same, they entered a valid password. So this would validate the user? What about if the user wants to change their password? In PHP can I crypt backwards and still be compatible with the Linux passwd file?

[PHP] Conditions within a function
I have been trying to organize my code better by using functions,
especially where I am repeating logic. The problem seems to be when I run
a condition within the function, an if statement to check for results of a
variable. As is the code seems to be bypasses, but if I put a die; in the
function after the line that was skipped before I get the desired results.
Code sample below is checking a table that lists a userID and if the user
has ever logged onto the system before:
function chkFirstTime($userID){
global $connection,$db,$userID;
$sqlChkFirstTime = select fk_userID,firstTime from firstTime where fk_userID =
'$userID';
$resultFirstTime = mssql_query($sqlChkFirstTime, $connection);
$rowFirstTime = mssql_fetch_array($resultFirstTime);
$firstTime = $rowFirstTime[firstTime];
if ($firstTime == ){
include ('includes/incFirstTime.php');
}
}
If I place a die; after the include it will run, of course it stops other
users from getting in as well.
Thanks,
-Scott

First of all, try organizing your code using whitespace. Here is an

Thank you, that was Pine doing some nice formatting tricks of it's own.
Now, my first question, is why do you have $userID passed by parameter
into the function, and also globalized in the function? I am trying to
understand this function but this seems like a mistake. You should
probably fix this. Also, I'm not sure what the $db variable is
globalized for -- why is it needed? It isn't used in the function, as
far as I can see.
I see the error there and removed the global, I am moving from ASP
functions to PHP functions and still learning. I misunderstood the global
statement considering that I am passing the userID to the function.
What I am also discovering is I have to use die; to halt execution for
certain things. An example, I check to see if a user is still active in
the system, if they are not I use a header to redirect them to a page that
tells them they are inactive.
if ($userActive == 0){
header ('Location: notice.php');
}
As is it does not work until I do this:
if ($userActive == 0){
header ('Location: notice.php');
die;

Since an user can be part of more than one group, I store in a session array
these groups ids.
In a page where it's necessary to verify if the user (actually, the groups
he's attached to) can perform certain actions, there's a little check like
this:
$var = '';
foreach ($_SESSION['user']['group_ids'] as $value) {
$var .= OR group_id = '$value' ;
}
And a Mysql query:
// 'groups' is a table with a collumn for every section of the site.
$sql = SELECT section_power FROM groups WHERE id = 0 . $var . AND active
= 1;
$res = mysql_query($sql);
while (list($section_power) = mysql_fetch_array($res)) {
// using parse_str() since the data is stored om Mysql as:
// r=1w=1d=0m=0
parse_str($section_power);
// More on discover_power() below
discover_powers($r,$w,$d,$m);
}
function discover_powers($r, $w, $d, $m) {
// If there's no current power defined:
if (!isset($_SESSION['user']['powers']['section']['w'])) {
// User's power the same as the var;
$_SESSION['user']['powers']['section']['w'] = $w;
} else {
// Else, in the while loop above, he's assigned to one group with
power = 0
// and another one with power = 1, let the user get 1
if ($w $_SESSION['user']['powers']['section']['w']) {
$_SESSION['user']['powers']['section']['w'] = $w;
}
}
Well, pretty much is like this. I am close to redesign the whole thing
because of the many SQL queries, the while loop calling two functions for
every group the user is attached, and because it's plain a 'not-elegant'
solution.
Feel free to steal any ideas :-D
