Subject: [PHP] Sending Html Pages
Hi,
I am trying to send html pages via email, that is instead of sending plain
text format to the client I am trying to send Rich Text using mail function
of PHP. At first I was sending
--------------------------
Hello Bob,
Thanks for downloading this from my site
--------------------------
BUT for Rich Text I am doing
--------------------------
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN'>
<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type">
</head>
<body>
<div align="left">
<table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" width="500">
<tr>
<td>
<font face="Verdana" size="2">
Hi,
<br>
Thanks for downloading this from my site
</font>
</td>
</tr>
</body>
</html>
--------------------------
But what happens is instead of sending html page it sends as a text with all
code displayed as it is without being parsed.
Please tell what can I do to send rich text emails as the this one u are
reading to the clients using PHP mail function.
Kind Regards
Salman

Hi guys,
Got a little prob that's got me stumped.
This simple image generator script:
http://scripts.operationenigma.net/image_generator.php
Source: http://scripts.operationenigma.net/image_generator.phps
works, I know because it was working on my system before I recompiled PHP.
Feel free to have a play, but just clicking submit as-is should generate a
black box with the text in it.
Now, however, it doesn't work...
Here's my phpinfo():
http://scripts.operationenigma.net/phpinfo.php
It says GD's compiled in there, but it doesn't work!
Surely there's a logical explanation for this...
Any help is appreciated :-)
Cheers,
Liam

Hiya,
I want to be able to raise an error in some code I'm creating for reuse,
most parts of this code deals with errors and just uses defaults as
appropriate,
but I need to be able to raise an error that will stop the PHP script
interpreter and throw an error back to the developer.
I've tried searching the manual for "user defined error", "throw error",
"raise error" etc,
but I guess it's just one of those functions that it's hard to find without
already knowing where to find it.
Any help would be appreciated!,
Dw.

Also, try locate again now that it's been a day. The locate database
usually gets updated overnight, so it doesn't immediately reflect new
additions.

Check to see that you have the mysql client package installed:
`rpm -q MySQL-client`
If not, grab it!

Hi all,
I hope someone might help me with a little puzzle...
I have bunch of db results and one of the fields is 'name',
I want to see if there are 2 parts to it like FirstName LastName and if
so order by the last name.
I can see explode() being the php function I need here but am a little
lost as to what will happen if there is only one word in the name var.
If someone can suggest what I might do that would be great!
many thanks...

Not knowing exactly what it is you want I'm assuming the following: if there
is a lastname use that in the sort, otherwise use the firstname. Thus your
sorted list will look something like:
Bryan Adams (Adams, Bryan)
Arnold
Brian
John Butcher (Butcher, John)
If that is what you want then:
while (names) {
explode the name
if there is more than one element swap it, then join
add this processed name onto a new array
}
use one of the array sort functions to sort the new array.

You really want to handle this in your database. If you need data to be
in two fields, first name and last name, then put it in your database
that way. Save yourself some time. How easy is it to just add another
text field in your form, and insert one more variable into the
database???
Whatever kind of "hack" you come up with in PHP is going to be a waste
of time and memory.

I actually asked this same type of question not too long ago. Just separate
the name field into first_name and last_name - it'll be better in the long
run. It's not as hard as it sounds - dump your table, use some program that
will read comma delimited stuff and export as tab-delimited (I used Excel),
separate the first and last names, modify your table to have the correct
columns, clear it, add the data back in (LOAD DATA...)
It may require some modification of your scripts you already have, but
really it's just much cleaner this way. I didn't want to do it simply
because I was lazy and using PHP to do this for me seemed to be the easier
choice. It's not, and doing it that way is far from efficient.
HTH,
Jason Soza

Depends on your view point, the client was happy with one field for the
name and now wants the records returned sorted by last name. Bastard.
There is loads of stuff to edit in the 'admin' program and it's
interaction with other tables and processes in the site so the PHP fix
was actually simpler.

Yep, cheers Jason, here's what I came up with
function sort_teachers() {
global $teach;
$array_2_sort=array();
foreach($teach->list_teachers() as $key => $val) {
$split=explode(" ", $val["name"]);
$array_2_sort[$key]=end($split);
}
asort($array_2_sort);
return($array_2_sort);

Hello
I have recently been trying to parse an XML document that has different
content in the same tags. Here is an example:
<LIST_ITEM>1</LIST_ITEM>
<LIST_ITEM>2</LIST_ITEM>
<LIST_ITEM>3</LIST_ITEM>
...
I am trying to get the content from <LIST_ITEM> into an array. I want the
content of the first <LIST_ITEM> to go into $p->ART_ID[0] and the next to go
into $p->ART_ID[1] and so on. Here is what my Element Content Function looks
like:
-------------------------------------------------------------
function elementContent($parser, $data, $attrs='') {
global $tag, $data, $test;
global $p;
$ti = sizeof( $tag ) - 1;
if ( $tag[$ti] == 'LIST_ITEM' ) {
$p->ART_ID[] .= $data;
}
}
------------------------------------------------------------
When I type in echo $p->ART_ID[0] I should get 1 however I get 1 2 3. For
some reason all the content goes only into one section of the array. Does
anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks.

Without the rest of the code I would suspect this to work:
function elementContent($parser, $data, $attrs='') {
global $tag, $p;
$ti = sizeof( $tag ) - 1;
if ( $tag[$ti] == 'LIST_ITEM' ) {
$p->ART_ID[] = $data;
}
}
Basically when you are assigning content to a new part of the array you
don't use .= but just =

You have multiple questions with the same answers? Then split your
table into two tables and put all your answers in one and your questions
in the other. Then include another table that contains question and
answer id equivalents.

I've always found mysql's RAND() function to be of use. Specifically:

Hi there,
I did upgrade to 4.2 and now I am "recoding" :-( my whole application.
So I did get behind the basic idea, but there is one case, where I just dont
know how to solve it:
Im a doing something similar like on php.net when you type in
php.net/functionname. In my .htaccess file I do redirect in case of a 404 to
a php page where I do redirect to a page called /profiles/80000001.html
In the file profiles (which is a php file not a dir) I do grab the
80000001.html and extract the 80000001 to explode it into parameters. Then I
do grab the functionname (or in my case user name) to redirect him to the
propper site.
In php4.1.1 it worked fine. Now I changed the first function to:
$PATH_INFO = $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]; (was $PATH_INFO in 4.1.1)
The username was fetched in 4.1.1 with ( I know I have to change this as
well):
$parameter = explode('/', $REQUEST_URI);
$user_name = $parameter[1];
So now I do get as $PATH_INFO the username which is mixing up my whole idea!
How can I get both parameters like in good old former times :-)
Do u see my trouble?
I appreciate every help on that,
Thanx, Andy
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
basicly this problem seems to result of the new way I do get the string from
the url
I used to get it with $PATH_INFO
Now I do a $PATH_INFO = $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI];
which is not the same result.
Does anybody know a equal command for $PHP_INFO ?

$PATH_INFO worked fine because register_globals was on
which essentially created $PHP_INFO from $_SERVER['PHP_INFO']
so how about you do this:
if (!ini_get('register_globals')) {
extract($HTTP_SERVER_VARS);
}
So if register_globals = off, $PHP_INFO will exist as will
all web server predefined variables, like $DOCUMENT_ROOT.
If you are unsure what predefined variable to use, make
a call to phpinfo() and it'll show you exactly what is
available to the script. And print_r() will also be helpful
for various activities too.

Philip Olson

Hey there guys,
I have a slight problem which i could not solve via Java servlets and now
that I am migrating to PHP I was wondering if its possible...
I am hosting with a company that has given me a database (MySql) I am using
the database for all my apps which are only being accessed via my
servlets....... I want to change that and convert all my servlets to PHP.
Being new to PHP i am sure to make a lot of mistakes and instead of
uploading my PHP page, getting errors/ redoing it, uploading etc I was kinda
hoping i could connect to the remote database via my local machine?
I already have PHP installed on my machine..... on the remote host the
details are
Localhost
jimmy*** (Username)
gunsand***** (Password)
umace_com (Database name)
Is this possible?
Any help and comments appreciated.
Cheers,
-Ryan

It depends on whether your hosting company allows remote connections to the
mysql server. Speak to them.

Yes, it's certainly possible. You will have to talk your host into
giving you remote access though, which could be hard.
How permissions work in MySQL is that your username is given permission
to connect from a specific host. Generally, the host is listed as
'localhost' meaning the script has to be on the same server as MySQL.
You can also have '%' as your host, meaning you can connect from
anywhere. Or, when your ISP assigns you an IP, the first 2 or 3 octets
are generally the same. So you could put something like '123.123.%' or
'123.123.123.%' in your host.
You hosting provider, if they're any good, will know all about this.
It's hard to talk people into giving you access, though, because they
are generally pretty paranoid.

I think it's pretty obvious it was removed during the PHP4
development so that Zend would have a 'value add' to sell later.
That's the cynical part of me answering, obviously, and I've
never heard an answer one way or another why it was removed,
but the timing seems pretty remarkable.

That's just not the case. The debugger in PHP 3 would not work at all in
PHP 4 and would need a complete rewrite. So, being cynical you might say
that someone should have written a debugger for PHP 4 and the fact that
nobody did was the conspiracy, but it makes no sense to say it was removed
for conspiracy reasons. I mean if the PHP 3 debugging code worked with
PHP 4, then you could just take the code from PHP 3 and use it. It's not
like it is deleted from CVS.

I'll stand corrected on that. I'd not looked at the code closely enough
to know if there were major compatibility problems.
Are there any movements to get things like the stack trace module and
the Russian dbg debugger module into the standard PHP distribution?
If there was at least some links on the PHP.net site, that would help
people to know they're available.

You didn't get flamed because you're a newbie, you got flamed
because it appeared you didn't do ANY research at all - you have
a book but didn't seem to read it (I'd guess there's at least a mention
of it there) but more importantly you didn't seem to even hit a basic
search engine. Search google.com or the php.net site for 'sleep' and
you'd have gotten exactly what you were looking for. You may have well
asked if PHP has a way to do something "if" a condition is true.
Abstract issues about arrays are a bit harder to get across in a search
engine, because you're not looking for syntax but perhaps more a
tutorial (I'd guess searching for 'php array tutorial' would net you
exactly what you want though too).
Use search engines first - you're bounch to find exactly what you're
looking for in a fraction of a time it takes people multiple people to
read and respond, then for you to get those responses.

I've looked about for an 'Email Confirmation' script that many sites use for
verifcation of wannabee new members. That is, the person subscribes, is sent
a 'confirmation' number to which they must have in the 'Subject' area of
their reply.
I would like to implement this on my site, but I haven't discovered a source
for a script, or how to go about doing it. That is, how do you retrieve items
from an incoming e-mail, and is it possible to parse the same?
If anyone who has seen such a script could point me to where I could find
one, I would greatly appreciate it, or in the Manual, what it would be listed
under. The 'mail()' function doesn't seem to include how to access received
e-mails, and to parse individual copmponents of a message.
Btw, does anyone know what's up with the 'Search' function of the PHP-general
lst? It always seems to be 'offline'. Rather hard to search the archives for
previously asked questions.

I would suggest just sending them an email with a
link like this and telling them to click on it to
confirm their membership.
http://www.mysite.com/confirm.php?uniqueid=2i3k238
s9sd0s99d
The confirm.php page would look up the uniqueid
and try to find it in your database. If it's
there then that means the email address they gave
you exists and they have access to that email
account cuz they know that uniqueid.
After confirming, you could send a "welcome user"
email and include another link that they can use
for all other account management like
unsubscribing, changing password, changing
personal info ...

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 years....though not in PHP, but i'm
sure it will work.
Cheers,
-Ryan

Thanks,
Now why didn't that ever occur to me? It's simple
and very effective.
Thanks for the idea!

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good Boolean interpreters (NOT,
AND, OR, +, -, |," ")? I've found three, but they're VERY buggy and I
wouldn't put them into production. Frankly, I don't have the time,
patience, or ability to write a good one from scratch. Here are the
three I've found in case anyone's interested:

First off, anyone using phpnuke is on their own, try phpnuke.org for
help. But an @ before a function suppresses error messages, it doesn't
make errors go away, so it's doing precisely what it is supposed to. I
also see two ;'s in a row, perhaps that is the problem, or perhaps the
query was bad and that renders fetch_row useless.
We or anyone would have a far better chance of helping out if you
explained what the error is... it will be alot easier than debunking the
code of phpnuke on our own.

Instead of switching hosting companies, why don't you just install
phpMyAdmin on your webspace, that way you can control your mySQL databases
in a far more user-friendly way than SSH will let you do

I'm having a problem with using cookies and flash, I'm new to php so it's
more then likely my coding, I have a forum made from flash/php/mysql, and
I'm trying to use cookies for the username and password so they dont have to
log in, I have manage to create the cookies no problem, its the rest thats
wrong, I'll post the code to read the cookies:
<?
$time = (time() + 3600 * 24 * 30 * 12);
$cookiepath = "/";
$cookiedomain = "www.deadsam.com";
$cookiesecure = false;
setcookie("username", $username, $time, $cookiepath, $cookiedomain,
$cookiesecure);
setcookie("password", $password, $time, $cookiepath, $cookiedomain,
$cookiesecure);
//get number of set cookies
$cookieCount = count($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS);
//if more than 1 cookie
if ($cookieCount > 0) {
//Loop through all the cookies...
foreach($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS as $cookieName => $cookieValue){
//output name and value
print "$cookiename=$cookieValue&";
}
} else {
//otherwise out no cookies
print "&userStatus=you are not logged in";
}
?>
In flash I used a loadVariableNum("http://www.deadsam.com/cookiescript.php";,
this, "POST");
I keep getting errors with this.
If anyone has an answer to this I'd appreciate it very much.
Thank you in advance

This is a bit of a tricky one, as a search engine isn't just some 10 line
code you can quickly type and expect to work. It'd be quite complex, because
you have to run several queries for each of the boolean types, and you also
have to account somehow for case-sensitivity.
I'm currently working on a search engine to incorporate into my Content
Management System (more info at http://www.inspirationstudios.co.uk/dot/cms)
that incorporates all your requirements so I'll get back to you with some
more coding info once I've worked on it there.

I am running mod PHP 4.0.6 with Apache
1.3x.
I am using session variables to pass various access
information. Everything works like a charm until I popup a new window
using Javascript. The session variable is set but to the wrong
value.
Has anyone else run into this issue or have any
ideas?
TIA
