Hey Alice,
Try throwing the MIME in. Sometimes messages get thrown in an abyss
if they don't know the MIME version or content type of an email.
They think its spam and so you wouldn't get an error message on your
end. Just no email.
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";

thats weired...
Mail.php contains the class Mail. So getting a "class not found" error
is not possible... (require_once stops the script in case it can't
find Mail.php)
Do I need to move the Mail PEAR class to the same folder as my
web folder
ensure that C:/xampp/php/PEAR folder is added to your include list
I thought so too, this is what I have in my php.ini:
; PHP's default setting for include_path is ".;/path/to/php/pear"
; http://php.net/include-path
include_path = ".;C:\xampp\php\PEAR"
This is the contents of my C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Mail:
mail.php
mime.php
mimeDecode.php
mimePart.php
null.php
RFC822.php
sendmail.php
smtp.php
Unless, I have to do require_once("mail.php")?
I am getting confused.
Alice

are you sure you are doing require_once 'Mail.php' ?

Linux installations come with sendmail which allows you to send email
directly. Windows doesn't have this as part of the base setup, but I
believe if you can install a local mail server then this should fix the
issue.

This is what I am talking about.
Two years ago when I first set up my own server with Linux and not Windows, I
never had to deal with this.
Perhaps the authentication has since then got stricter, but it should not be so
much of a heck of a deal.
I found this doc from ATT's website,
http://helpme.att.net/pdf/uverse/uverse_hsi_qsg_english.pdf, so obviously the
smtp server I provided earlier is probably not up to date.
I think I will fiddle around with the php.ini file and see what else is there.
Thanks.
Alice

Something like http://www.hmailserver.com/? I use AT&T, why is it that I use
their SMTP server and my From address in PHP.ini file didn't work?
Thanks.

That looks to do what you need. I don't really know of any specific
other examples as it's been a while since I've used Windows for anything
now. The link you gave did say it was free though, so you don't really
have anything to lose by installing it.
Thanks,

If anybody really wants to know how to handle this, (it's not officially
supported by PHP, but is in MySQL 5.1+, and I'm not condoning it) here's
how you do it:
<?php
// enable C API support for multiple statement execution
// note the 65536 flag
$connection = mysql_connect( $host, $user , $password , true , 65536 );
// select the database
mysql_select_db( 'test' , $connection );
// line up multiple queries separated by a semicolon (;)
$query1 = "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test_table;
CREATE TABLE test_table(id INT);
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES(10);
UPDATE test_table SET id=20 WHERE id=10;";
// run the multi-query (should output bool(true) on success)
var_dump( mysql_query( $query1 , $connection ) );
// big caveat!, the connection will die so we need to reconnect..
$connection = mysql_connect( $host, $user , $password , true , 65536 );
mysql_select_db( 'test' , $connection );
// now a quick test to verify
$test_result = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM test_table" , $connection );
$result_rows = mysql_num_rows( $test_result );
if ($result_rows == 0) {
throw new Exception( 'we failed' );
}
for ($r=0;$r<$result_rows;$r++) {
print_r( mysql_fetch_assoc( $test_result ) );
}
mysql_free_result( $test_result );
?>
Probably worth somebody investigating this further and seeing how it
works with mysqli etc (unsure if mysqli users mysql_connect or
mysql_real_connect at the C API level.)

Hello everybody,
I have form where users enter data to be saved in a db.
How can I make php save the form data into a session before the user
leaves the page without pressing the submit button? Some members leave
the page and return afterwards wondering where their already entered
data is.
Any ideas how to save into php session data before someone leaves the page?
Thank you for any hint,
Merlin

Use ajax: send a query to the server a couple of seconds after the
user has last updated the form.

Session data is all stored on the server, so it requires a submit in
order for the server to actually get the data.
You could use Ajax to grab the form data and send it to the server if
you need though.
However, I'm not really sure what your question is. Are people visiting
your site, filling in a form, then pressing the back button to go
somewhere else? If so, maybe they intended to not submit the form.

Ash

I hate to be a contrarian (not really), but there is a paradigm for
using web forms. If you want the internet to save your data, you have to
press the little button. If you don't, then it won't be saved. Not hard
to figure out, not hard to do. If you have to go do something else while
you're in the middle of a form, open a new tab/window and do it. When
you come back to your original form, the data will still be there (but
again, not *saved* until you hit the little button).
Sorry, I just get cranky with people who won't follow the rules.
