Hey Alice,
Again, try throwing the MIME in.

$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";
Also:
$headers .= 'Errors-to: <myworkingemailaddr...@foo.com>' . "\r\n";
Which I suggested on your previous thread. Also, I see you have
$from set to equal "localhost". Many SMTP servers will reject this
I *think*, because "localhost" is a hostname, not a working mailbox.
Try making $from equal to a real working address - possibly the same
one as your "Errors-to:" header..

Here is the code:

Hi,
Here is the revised version, and I don't think I have experienced any changes
in terms of the output on the screen. Plus, I still get no email.
<?php
require_once("Mail.php");
$mail = Mail::factory("mail");
$your_name = $_POST['your_name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$question = $_POST['question'];
$comments= $_POST['comments'];
$submit = $_POST['submit'];
$from = "aj...@alumni.iu.edu";
$to = "elite.engl...@gmail.com";
$subject = "Comments";
$body = "From: $your_name\n E-Mail: $email\n Reason Contact: $question\n
Comments:\n $comments";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Errors-to: <elite.engl...@gmail.com>' . "\r\n";
$mail ->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) echo "<p>" . $mail->getMessage() .
"</p>";
else {
echo "<p>Message successfully sent!</p> <div
id='main'>
<h1>Thank You For Contacting Us</h1>
<p>Here is what you have input:</p>
<ul><li>Your Name is <b>" . $your_name .

<li>Your Email is <b>" . $email .

<li>You contacted us because you have a <b>" .
$question . "</b></li>
<li>Here are your comments: <b>" . $comments .
"</b></li></ul>
<h1>Have a Nice Day!</h1></div>";
}
I have made sure that my $from and $to addresses are different, Could there be
anything else wrong here? I have not edited anything in php.ini regarding this
issue. Would I need to?
Thanks for your help.

Is there any need for this line if you are using the Errors-to: ?
Maybe take it out and see what Errors-to gives you without it.

Well, it's a Good Thing(tm) to know what those settings are.
Have they changed since your last thread?

Most, if not all, mail servers keep log files. You should look for the
log files to see if the mail server has sent your mail properly or is
experiencing problems (those may not feed back into PHP).

I have not changed any of my SMTP settings since my new installation of
PHP with Pear. So, I am not sure what the settings are supposed to be.
Would I need to install anything else even when the Pear Mail package
has been installed?

Consider checking out http://php.net/gettext - it's the set of
functions in PHP for i18n.
With regards to language switching, you should consider using a url
hierarchy for it, instead of just serving all pages with changing
content.

You might want to consider making the language dependent on the URL, e.g.
http://site.com/ru/pagename for Russian. Doing it this way certainly isn't a
bad solution, but I do strongly recommend against using define() and using
anonymous translation keys. Usually, you have one base language (which is
usually English due to its lack of special characters and ubiquity) from
which you work. You then either simplify your keys, e.g. 'user_welcome' =>
'Welcome, %1$s!', or make the keys the proper base language strings so you
can wrap everything in a language function.
In the latter case, you might have something like <p><?= _('Welcome, %1$s!',
$username); ?></p>, and then if the current language is not English, the _()
function will make the appropriate lookup.
The advantage of this is you won't need to have a tertiary source to tell
you which MSG### corresponds to which piece of text.

Hello Peter,
Regarding the URL switching suggested by you and Michiel, how do I do
this if I have a rather complicated .htaccess file? For instance, a
blog entry URL is formed as follows:
http://oire.org/menelion/entry/190/ which is phisically
http://oire.org/oire.php?o=menelion&e=190
If I need to insert the locale somewhere inhere, sorry, I just don't
know how to do that)

For mostly dynamic messages or pages, I would take a look at the
gettext() mechanism:

$username); ?></p>, and then if the current language is not English, the _()
function will make the appropriate lookup.
Unless you have namespaces (and I can't remember if they completed
namespaced based functions) then don't use something so commuon as a
function named underscore :/
Cheers,
Rob.

Should I be able to do this:
class X
{
const FOO = 'foo';
const FOOBAR = X::FOO . 'bar';
...
}
?
Because I can't. I get "syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ',' or
';'". I assume this is because the constants are like statics which
can't be initialised by functions etc. but is there really any logic
behind this?

It very often pays to read the PHP docs. From
http://pl.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.constants.php :
"The value must be a constant expression, not (for example) a
variable, a property, a result of a mathematical operation, or a
function call. "
So no, you shouldn't be able to do that.

Hate to ask, but did you at any point consider to read the PHP docs on
this? The bit I sent or what you could gather from the link posted?

Class constants must be defined with static values, not variables. They
are constants after all! If they relied on the value of a variable,
surely that would mean that their own value might change, so they would
just become regular variables not constants.
Is there a specific reason that you need to try and achieve this? Would
it not be better to have private or protected variables using getters
and setters if you need variable values?
Thanks,
Ash

Hi all,
My PHP script is running as CLI. Can I get the Power Management
Settings of the server ?
I am using PHP 5.3.2 on Fedora 12 Machine (2.6.32.10-90.fc12.i686)
KK.

Your server management software may provide a way to get this
information either through the command line or through a network
interface. SNMP may also provide this information, and ISTR there's a
PHP SNMP module. Enjoy... :-)

One thing to keep in mind is that this one doesn't take eval() vs regular
include execution time into account, in case you were still considering
using it. According to this page, it's many times slower:

As you've been informed, PHP doesn't natively support threading.
But, the issue of forking was mentioned. I'm on Windows, and by using
a combination of MS's WinCache (I'm using V1.1.0412.0), with an
environment variable APP_POOL_ID set to something nice and unique
(i.e. not set to one used in IIS), and ...
$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
$oExec = $WshShell->Run($script . $params, 0, false);
you can successfully run a child script (or __FILE__ . ' /child:$Child
' . $params sort of thing) and use wincache to pass data between the
parent and the children scripts.
This is working really well for me with the minor exception of having
to create the env var up front.
Ideally, I'd like to use the fallback logic of having the child script
use the parent process id as the identifier, but here the issue is is
that the parent script will also use the parent process, so no parent
child comms.... http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=17214
But, if you use APP_POOL_ID, then you'll be just fine.
Of course, if you are not on windows, then other techniques can be
used to simulate this (pcntl, proc_open() - maybe), but I don't know
enough to recommend one over the other.

Help with Code
Tags<http://www.daniweb.com/forums/misc-explaincode.html?TB_iframe=true&height=400&width=680>
*PHP Syntax* (Toggle Plain Text<http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post1194347.html#>
)
1. $save=split("[|;]",$listOfItems);
and what i want i s after making some changes to the attributes on the array
above to export them on an csv or excel format
but directly as a message to the browser ..
i dont want it to be saved on the server ...
what i cant understand from the examples i found on the net ..
is how to handle the files and which are created cause
i just have the array in a php file nothing more...
another thing i have in mind is to export from the ldap server the files
directly but seems to me as the wrong way to do it
thanks
