I am not familiar with this PHP error. Was this on server B? With "PHP
Startup" in the error message, it looks like a setup problem on server B,
rather than being related to the PostToHost operation.
Once that error is cleared up, start simple for the PostToHost piece. Just
have the script on server B return "hello,world!", then echo out that
response in the script on server A. The PostToHost function you found is
correct. Make sure you are passing in valid arguments, so that you end up
with a valid HTTP POST message.

That does not make much sense and is pointless. First that syntax you
mentioned probably requires JQuery or some other large Javascript
library. something like this['submitButton'].click() would emulate the
click event. Second, by the time that onsubmit is called, the event that
triggered it was already dispatched. Emulating the click on a button
would probably fire the form submission and onsubmit code would be run
again, leading to an infinite loop sucking machine CPU.

Here is a problem that I have had for years now. I have been trying to come up
with the perfect solution for this problem. But, I have come down to two
different methods for solving it.
Here is the problem...
<?php
function sendEmail(
$to,
$from,
$subject,
$body,
$attachments=array(),
$headers=array()
) { # I typically do not put each argument on seperate lines, but I ran
#out of width in this email...
# do something here...
mail(...);
}
sendEmail('j...@doe.com',
'maryk...@uhhh.net',
'Hi!',
'Check out my new pictures!!!',
$hash_array_of_pictures
);
Now, we all have a function or method like this floating around somewhere.
My question is, how do YOU go about setting the required entries of the $headers
array() ?
I see three possible solutions. I want to see a clean and simple solution.
Here are my ideas so far:
function sendEmail(
$to,
$from,
$subject,
$body,
$attachments=array(),
$headers=array()
) { # I typically do not put each argument on seperate lines, but I ran
#out of width in this email...
if ( empty($headers['Date']) ) {
$headers['Date'] = date('c');
}
if ( empty($headers['Message-ID']) ) {
$headers['Date'] = md5($to.$subject);
}
# and the example goes on...
# do something here...
mail(...);
}
Or, another example. (I will keep it to the guts of the solution now)
$headers['Date'] = empty($headers['Date']) ?
date('c') : $headers['Date'];
$headers['Message-ID'] = empty($headers['Message-ID']) ?
md5($to.$subject) : $headers['Message-ID'];
OR, yet another example...
$defaults = array(
'Date' => date('c'),
'Message-ID' => md5($to.$subject),
);
$headers += $defaults;
END of examples...
Now, IMO, the last one is the simplest one and for me, I think it will be the
new way that I solve this type of problem.
But, my question that I put out to all of you is...
How would you solve this problem?
TIA

Good, since it is a combination of the examples I gave.

IMO, array_merge() is easy to use, however it suppose to use more cpu than
other options. If you are a performance freak, i suggest you to not choose
array_merge() solution. (also you execute date() and md5() functions even if
you wont need to use them)
In the other way, I think first option (with if() ones) seems more readable
than other ones.

Ok, bad example. I already use SwiftMailer. My "problem" though has nothing to do with sending an
email. I should have known someone would take it too literally.
Think a little more general. This is not a specific thing to simply sending an
email.
Could be database method calls from a class object, HTML CGI function, etc...
As for a different example. Say you had a function that you had to pass (multiple) arguments to.
But, with those arguments, you had defaults that you would like to inside the function even if they
were not sent when you called your function. But you do not want to be forced into entering ALL the
arguments of a function call in a certain order.
Try this
function createHTMLBox($title, $content, $params=array() ) {
$defaults = array(
'id' = uniq(),
'class' = 'box',
'encode' = TRUE,
);
$params += $defaults;
if ( $params['encode'] ) {
$title = htmlspecialchars($title);
$content = htmlspecialchars($content);
}
# Obviously, I will be using the DomDocument class for this in the real
world
# But for simplicities sake, I used the following.
$box = <<<BOX
<div id="{$params['id']}" class="{$params['class']}">
<h4 class="boxTitleBar">{$title}</h4>
<div class="boxContent">{$content}</div>
</div>
BOX;
return $box;
}
Then, I call it like this:
echo createHTMLBox('This is my TITLE',
'<ul><li>Item 1</li><li>Item 2</li></ul>',
array('encode' => FALSE));
echo createHTMLBox('This is my TITLE',
'<ul><li>Item 1</li><li>Item 2</li></ul>');
Both of the above will have different output to the screen.
Hope this clears things up.

I wonder if it is something like this class that you are looking for:

You may want to take a look at this slide presentation. It is from a
talk precisely about issues that prevent messages from reaching the
destination:
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/video/3/package/9.html
Look in special at slide 19, as it presents several reasons that may
make your messages be confused with spam.

IF they are actually floating point numbers. My problem is that I'm working
with values
which are strings, but which sometimes look like either integers or floating
point
numbers. And I apologise for falsely contradicting your previous message; I
realised
subsequently that I had forgotten to specify the variables as strings in my
test. Thus, if
I write:
$a = 2260; $b = '2260'; the exact comparison returns 'false'.
The same applies to all the cases I had been complaining about, and the exact
comparison
does indeed work as you stated. This piece of carelessness arose because my
data is
represented in the simple form, eg:
A;e;21TH;AP;;;;Musical education;090701
but is implicitly converted into strings when it is entered.
(And I tend to be wary of determining the rules experimentally. I learned my
programming
on CDC3200 Fortran fortysomething years ago. Manuals were brief and textbooks
non-existent, so whenever we were not sure of something we would try it.
Unfortunately the
Fortran had some very strange design features, which we learnt about when our
employer
upgraded to a CDC 6600. This used a much more standard Fortran, and many of the
tricks we
had discovered no longer worked.)

I don't know what spry is but I use PHP and XSLT all the time.

Spry is Adobe's AJAX framework similar to jQuery. Are you having problems
doing remote ajax call for xml data via Spry?
