Re: [PHP] Re: Sending an e-mail to 1,000 people
Hmmm. I've also heard it described as a newsletter. Or a mailing list. A good program that does this is http://www.kingmailer.com/ Thirty bucks, with a built-in SMPT server.

Answer to your question: yes, it's pretty simple, but PHP is generally a language for web applications, I think Perl is more suited for your needs. And no, I do not want to teach anyone how to send 1,000 email to 1,000 different persons.

Re: [PHP] Securite problem
There are a few issues that could be involved, but the glaring big one is that require_once() only works with PHP 4 The php3 extensions make me think you should simply use require() Roebie wrote: Dear all, I have a index.php3 file in a password protected directory (on Windows) which calls two other files with require_once(../code/anolislib2.php3); require_once(../code/pageslib1.php3); These two files are in another (not protected) directory. When I try to open index.php3 with IE5.5 nothing happens. The files are not included, I get no error message and no code at all is executed. Why is this and what can I do about it ? Thanks for any help.

Re: [PHP] Re: Securite problem
I used this in index.php3, in a password protected directory, using Xitami on Windows. require_once(../test/require.php3); Everything did fine. Roebie wrote: I have tried absolute paths but that does not solve the problem. Unlike the filename extension suggests I am using php4. The problem seems to be the password protection. When the three files are in the same directory (be it protected or unprotected) everything works fine. When index.php3 is in one directory and the other two files are in another directory everything works fine but only if both directories are protected or both are unprotected. That including a script that is in a password protected directory is not allowed seems reasonable to me, but the other way round ...? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't know the nature of your feud, but Manuel is right on here, as far as I'm concerned. Sterling's comments were unwarranted, unjust, and stupid. Rise above it man.

Thanks, Ben What you are describing is called SPAMMING, something we really, really dislike. You are confused. Spamming is sending the same message to the same person more than once. What I think you mean is unsolicited e-mail. The original poster did not mention whether the people he wants to mail want to receive his messages, so you can't assume that is necessarily unsolicited. I think you are confused... Unsolicited e-mail is in fact the definition of spam! No, with time, people started confusing definitions. You may not be aware of it because you were too young and by that time you probably even did not knew about what was the Internet. AFAIK, spam was, in the early days when there was not even the Web, what was called to cross-posting the same message to multiple newsgroups. Remeber Monty Python sketch, they were complaining of more of the same spam. Since often spam is also unsolicited, people started confusing concepts. In mailing lists and newsgroups like this, messages are only unsolicited when they become completely off-topic, which is not the case. You ought to study a little history first before you decide to make any of my message yet another pointless personal attack. Secondly, reasonable assumptions can often be made, for example, when I see a message from you, its almost guaranteed that you'll be plugging PHPClasses, or Metabase, or both. Assumptions are why killfiles were invented. Sterling, you seem to be sick if you are watching every message I post to jumping in to attack me or my work. I was not even promoting the PHP Classes site. If I were I would post its URL, which I didn't. I was sharing my knowledge on sending messages to a large number of recipients. It happens that my knowledge on bulk mailing is based on my experience sending notifications to the site subscribers. Since you are so obcessed to attack me probably because of possible stupid envy, you could only see my message as another plug to promote the site. Sterling, get a grip, you would do much better in get rid of those unjustifiable sick feelings that you hold against somebody like myself that is still bothering to contribute to the PHP community providing a PHP component sharing site that is accessed by many tens of thousands of PHP users. Another thing, is that you are so ungrateful because whatever I do to let people know about the PHP Classes site is to bring people to the site not only to share and benefit for each other PHP components, but also to provide a substantial audience not only to the components that the users share, but also to the reviews of PHP books like your own: PHP Developers Cookbook. http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/products.html/id/0672319241 I even tried to make a nice review, as usually I do with all books I review because I know that it takes a lot of time to write a good book and in the time you spent writing it you would probably earn more money working on some paid PHP project than whatever you may ever earn from selling the book. I know that it isn't much, but 710 users went to Amazon eventually to buy the your book because of this review. It is an humble contribution to compensate for your effort and of other PHP book writers. Anyway, I am considering discontinuing this section of the PHP Classes site because it is not providing enough income to cover for the site expenses. Now, after I read your personal attacks I wonder why am I waiting to discontinue it when all I get for attempting to promote the site to bring in more audience also for the book reviews, is just personal attacks from authors like yourself? Of course this hurts me bad, but I am kind of used to the hostility that I get of envious unsensible PHP developers like yourself. Right, now, if you do not have anything nicer to say to me, please don't even bother to mail me.

[PHP] PHP3 file upload
This is from the manual --
?php
function is_uploaded_file($filename) {
if (!$tmp_file = get_cfg_var('upload_tmp_dir')) {
$tmp_file = dirname(tempnam('', ''));
}
$tmp_file .= '/' . basename($filename);
}
if (is_uploaded_file($userfile)) {
copy($userfile, file.test);
} else {
echo brPossible file upload attack: filename
'$userfile_name'.;
}
?
This uploads the file into the correct temp directory, it recognizes the
filename, etc., but it won't copy it. I only can achieve the error
message. I need to use PHP3 for this, I'm obviously missing something.
Thanks,
Robert

Re: [PHP] problems with a netscape post
I don't believe that can be it. I have forms working under Netscape 4+ all day with no problems, all unnamed. I would bet it's an html issue related to the editor you're using to create the forms.

[PHP] removing characters
A problem of inexperience...
I am trying to store an array in mysql. I obtain the array like so--
$partcount = count($Area);
reset($Area);
for ($i = 0; $i $partcount; $i++){
$key = key($Area);
$val = $Area[$key];
$string1 .= $val . "\') or (Area=\'";
next($Area);
}
This results, with a bit of coaxing, in an array like this one --
+-+
| Area|
+-+
| (Area='1') or (Area='2') or (Area='3') or (Area='') |
+-+
Everything is falling into place, *except* these last thirteen
characters --
or (Area='')
And that's what I'd like to eradicate.
Tips, suggestions, especially outright code greatly appreciate.
Thanks,
Robert
p.s.-- I have ordered the Friedl book on Regular Expressions. Hoping it
will enlighten me for the future
