Hi Gary,
There are issues with this approach (one being that checking all POST fields
non-discriminately will lead to false positives, as the body/message of an
email can contain new line characters without issue.)
I'd suggest using Zend's Email capabilities. You just upload the framework
to your site, add it to your include path, and then you can even use SMTP
email capabilities through an account such as gmail or another email
provider, which is much better than using the general mail() function,
anyway. And, you have all the security benefits.
Here's a link to Zend's Mail class documentation:

Re: [PHP] E-Mail Verification - Yes, I know....
The SMTP or POP3 protocol (cant remember which) used to support the ability to connect to the server and verify if a username exists before delivering the mail. But this feature was abused and was used for spamming so it is now disabled on all major servers (it's probably disabled by default in all servers anyway). There is no way to verify (without sending an email) if the email will be received in a mailbox.

RE: [PHP] E-Mail Verification - Yes, I know....
From: Simon There is no way to verify (without sending an email) if the email will be received in a mailbox. Even that is not a valid test. Most spam filters will discard messages silently, that is without notifying either sender or recipient. So the only real verification is when you receive an actual reply from the recipient.

fields the filter expects. And i dont know how to write the foreach
loop I am using to walk over the current field to check if the start
element of the next needed field occours so the parsing for the needed
element can stop somewhere and start reading the next field element.
A Filter looks like that, at the moment:

Re: [PHP] e-mail to mysql database?
YOu need to contact your host first. What you need is for the server to detect emails coming into a certain address, or with a certain subject line, and pass them over to a free-standing (ie not a browser-run) PHP script. The trick will NOT be the parsing of the text and inserting it into the DB, the trick be getting the email piped into the PHP script -- and this is very dependent on which server/mail/OS they're running.

Re: [PHP] E-mail Confirmation script?
Hey, Why dont you just add a link to a script and validate it like that? eg: Click below to confirm you email id ** http://yoursite.tld/confirm.php?[EMAIL PROTECTED]confirmno=5675678 ** Once you get the confirm id and no just check it within your database and flag it as true. Simple. I have been using the above example for yearsthough not in PHP, but i'm sure it will work.

I suppose that is because it takes less time to queue a message for delivery and it sort of protects the privacy of addresses that correspond to valid accounts so it makes it harder for people that keep spam lists to verify if the addresses they have are valid or not.

Re: [PHP] E-mail valid
Does anyone have, or know of a script which simulates what Apache gives out when it shows the entire contents of a directory ? I find it very handy to use the directory listing of say graphics directories and the like, but I dont want others looking into them. What I thought would be a good system is to have an index.php file which asks for a password. If the password is accepted, it shoots them off to a php script which displays the contents of the DIR just as apache would. This way I can bar viewing of the directories contents, only viewable to the owners of the password. Ive seen a couple of scripts which claim to show the directory listing, but none of them seem to work any good with a decent layout and amount of file info. So im looking for a script which can display the listing properly. Does one exist, or am I just relieving myself into the wind ?

Re: [PHP] E-mail valid
Does anyone have a function that tells you weather a variable holds a valid e-mail address or not? It depends on what you mean by "valid email address". For example, I can enter "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which looks valid, but doesn't exist. You can take things a step further and lookup the domain and make sure it exists. Even then, I can enter "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which will pass the lookup check. You can go even further and send me an email message with a "key" which I must enter in order to prove that the email address I gave is valid. Even so, it is easy to create a throw-away account at hotmail or another free email provider. Anyway, there is a class on phpclasses.upperdesign.com that does a good job of checking an address.
