Thanks Jan G. B., You got me over the first hump.
I'm having programs installing pear on my VISTA localhost...
So, I uploaded the Mail folder and Mail.php file to my
Shared Hosting ISP. I do not think pear is provided.
The Testing is as follows:
<?php
require_once "Mail.php";
// SSL HOST
$host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
$port = "587";
$username = "sen...@gmail.com";
$password = "Password";
$from = "King Coffee <sen...@gmail.com>";
$to = "Bill <recipi...@hotmail.com>";
$subject = "PHP Mail Test";
$body = "This is a simple mail test!";
$headers = array('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array('host' => $host,
'port' => $port,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $header, $body);
if(PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo( "<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent</p>");
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP EMAIL TESTER</title>
<h1>This is a test</h1>
<?php Echo "Hi King"; ?>
</head>
</html>
When I run the server page, The following error is displayed:
Warning: require_once(PEAR.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open
stream: No such file or directory in D:\Hosting\ID#\html\auction\Mail.php on
line 46
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required
'PEAR.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in
D:\Hosting\ID#\html\auction\Mail.php on line 46
I will be still trying the get pear installed in VISA, but meanwhile, how
can I obtain the PEAR.php and supporting files to upload?
Thanks,
King

Thanks again for all the help, however the plot thickens.
I have put:
<?php if(!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
}
if (isset($_POST['lend_fname'])){
$_SESSION['lend_fname']=stripslashes($_POST['lend_fname']);
}
if (isset($_POST['lend_lname'])){
$_SESSION['lend_lname']=stripslashes($_POST['lend_lname']);
}
if (isset($_POST['lend_street'])){
$_SESSION['lend_street']=stripslashes($_POST['lend_street']);
}
if (isset($_POST['lend_city'])){
$_SESSION['lend_city']=stripslashes($_POST['lend_city']);
}
if (isset($_POST['lend_state'])){
$_SESSION['lend_state']=stripslashes($_POST['lend_state']);
}
if (isset($_POST['lend_lname'])){
$_SESSION['lend_zip']=stripslashes($_POST['lend_zip']);
}
if (isset($_POST['lend_email'])){
$_SESSION['lend_email']=stripslashes($_POST['lend_email']);
}
if (isset($_POST['lend_phone'])){
$_SESSION['lend_phone']=stripslashes($_POST['lend_phone']);
}
?>
On the first page, Now what happens is it only sticks to the first two
(lend_fname and lend_lname), the others still get lost. Any idea how or why
the exact code works differently?
Thanks Again.

Gary :
It doesn't have to thicken. Here's an example of using $_SESSION that
works and you can have as many fields as you want:
http://www.webbytedd.com/aa/step-form-sessions/index.php
All the code is there. Plus, it will give you a way to go from page
to page without leaving the gathering page.

I have located what appears to me to be bug in the XSLTProcessor in
PHP5.2.13 but want to insure that I am not overlooking something before
reporting it. Any advice will be appreciated.
The issue is apparent discrepancies in output sort order in an XSLTProcessor
generated list. Following is a detailed description.
Scenario: Disk resident xml file with a top level "Places" element and a
list of subordinate "Place" elements. Each "Place" element has a "fullName"
attribute with self explanatory value. Place heirarchy is indicated by comma
separated fields in the attribute value, e.g. Accomac Co., Virginia, USA.
Also, a disk resident xsl file whose purpose is to transform the xml file
into a html file with the "Place" element collection sorted and rewritten as
a list of full place names. When the xsl translation is invoked by assigning
the xsl to the xml file and accessing the xml file in IE8, the displayed
output appears exactly as expected, e.g.
Accomack Co., VA, USA
Adams Co., PA, USA
Ahoskie Twp., Hertford Co., NC, USA
Ahoskie, Hertford Co., NC, USA
AK, USA
AL, USA
Alachua Co., FL, USA
Alamance Co., NC, USA
Alameda Co., CA, USA
Alameda, Alameda Co., CA, USA
However, when invoked via the following php script, using PHP5.2.13 -
$xml = new DOMDocument();
$xml->load("F:\Places.xml");
$xsl = new DOMDocument();
$xsl->load("F:\Places.xsl");
$xslt = new XSLTProcessor();
$xslt->importStylesheet($xsl);
echo $xslt1->transformToXML($xml);
some sort order discrepancies appear in the output, e.g.
AK, USA
AL, USA
Accomack Co., VA, USA
Adams Co., PA, USA
Ahoskie Twp., Hertford Co., NC, USA
Ahoskie, Hertford Co., NC, USA
Alachua Co., FL, USA
Alamance Co., NC, USA
Alameda Co., CA, USA
Alameda, Alameda Co., CA, USA
Note that the state records, which have upper case second character,
incorrectly appear ahead of other places. This behavior appears even if the
"case-order='lower-first'" attribute is included in the <xsl:sort> element
in the xsl stylesheet.
Question: Is this a bug or am I overlooking something?

Hi all.
I have a busy conference season coming up, and will be giving a number of
presentations that involve code, specifically PHP. I am going to want to put
code onto slides in OpenOffice (3.1 specifically, using Kubuntu 9.10), but to
date I've never figured out a good way to do that. Anyone know of a good way
to do syntax-highlighted code in OOo?
Things I've tried in the past:
1) Just throw code onto the slide, no highlighting. This works, but is ugly
and harder to read or demonstrate what I am doing. It's my usual fallback.
2) Screen-shot from a web page that uses syntax highlighting, such as PHP's
built-in highlighting. Very difficult to prepare since the sizing is usually
all off. Ugly. Very difficult to edit and change because the screen caps have
to be regenerated. And PHP's default coloring for highlighting frequently
clashes with the slides and looks godawful on a projector. (I once ended up
with blue text on a black slide. That was a major fail.)
3) Jump out of the slides into an IDE. Works, but totally breaks the flow of
the presentation. The IDE usually also has text that's way too small, and I
have to reconfigure it into a "presentation mode", often on the fly. It also
makes discrete snippets harder to show, since there's still the entire rest of
the IDE there.
I don't like any of these options. :-) I don't know what the alternative is,
though. Ideally I'd love to have a custom text region or format or something
that is "take this and highlight it properly", but I don't know if such a
plugin exists.
I could be talked into using KPresenter / KOffice instead if that would be
easier, but as I am on Linux I have no access to KeyNote or PowerPoint.
Any suggestions?

Could you use highlight_string() on the code example in a web page then
copy that from the browser and paste that into your presentation? It
should then preserve the formatting used on the browser display, and let
you easily modify the font size.

I will have to see if OOo preserves formatting when I do that. However, that
still leaves the problem of highlight_string()'s colors being rather poor for
on-screen. Are those easily configurable? That would at least give me a
decent result, kinda, even if it's not as clean as doing it all within the
presentation program.

I think Ash's idea is brilliant, though I probably would show the code
from within the browser, rather than importing it. Also check the
user-supplied code under both the highlight_string() and
highlight_file() function at php.net:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-string.php
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-file.php
There is also code there to provide line numbers, which would be very
useful for presentations. There are some hints about how you might
change the colors.
