[PHP] More info on BCC? (was Re: [PHP] Sending Broadcast Email - will a large loop cause a crash?)

[elists]

What's the reasoning behind that number? (330-)

I'm about to implement something similar, using BCC (since the emails 
don't need to be personalized). I've searched in the past for the 
answers to 2 questions, but haven't had any luck. Can you shed any light 
on the issue?

1. Is there a limit on the number of BCC recipients that can be 
included? (Is this where you got the 330 number?) If so, what is it, and 
if not, what is a reasonable number to include in a single email (1000, 
1, 10, etc)

2. Is it possible, using BCC from a mail() function in PHP, to 
accidentally reveal the list of recipients to anyone who receives the 
email?

Thanks,
Andrew Elliston

 Well, try it - find a willing victim and just do a simple loop.

 Alternately, set up an account with a local, high-bandwidth ISP, batch 
 in groups of 330-, and use BCC.

 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.

[PHP] sessions broken when redirected?

[elists]

I've searched the archives and relevant web sites to no avail, so as a 
last resort I'm turning to this knowledgeable group of people.

I'm working to set up a user authentication system using native PHP 4 
sessions on a box running Apache, mod_perl, mod_ssl, PHP (the lastest), 
etc.

PHP was compiled with the following options:

'./configure' '--with-sybase-ct=/usr/local/freetds' 
'--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/lib' '--with-
apache=../apache_1.3.19' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-memory-
limit=yes'

Here's the problem:
The browser is redirected by Apache (in the current setup, which for 
other reasons won't be changed) from a URL like 
http://somebody.com/foo/bar to a URL like https://somebody.com/bar.

I have had no luck getting sessions, session ids, HTTP_POST_VARS, etc to 
successfully survive the redirect when the user moves between pages in 
the site. (passing variables through the url works, but we need 
something more secure than that).

My feeling is that I'm missing something obvious. Cookies are enabled 
and working. I can start sessions and store variables, but only within 
one page. Once the user goes through a redirect (to the same server), 
everything is lost. It doesn't _seem_ like this should be a limitation 
of PHP, but maybe it is.

Can anyone help clarify this?

Thanks,
Andrew Elliston

Re: [PHP] setting Check box

[elists]

Try setting up your code so that the following is the result:

input type="checkbox" name="avail" checked
or
input type="checkbox" name="avail"

 Try CHECKED for checkboxes - SELECTED works for dropdowns.

 ok I've changed it the SELECT to CHECKED but it had no effect ...
 input type="checkbox" name="avail" value="" ? if ($avail == 'n') 
 { echo 'CHECKED'; }?

 I've also tried it with a "n" value  so it reads like
 input type="checkbox" name="avail" value="n" ? if ($avail == 'n') 
 { echo 'CHECKED'; }? but that didn't have any luck either ... is 
 there anything else i can do?
