Looks like the user doesn't have write permission to the mailbox directory.

That tool is written in Perl. If you need that tool, you need to get
the IMAP::Shell module from somewhere and install it. You might
already have it, but it's not in your perl include path.

It's likely it's just a permissions problem..

Hello,
I have been looking for a script that I can use to create online quizzes. I also need
to be able to
score them online, save the results to a database, as well as, email the results to
the student and
teacher. The ideal option would use php and a mysql database.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I'm not sure I'm the right person to answer this, but if I had to
give answer, I'd say they're all equal. You're going to have to
define them _somewhere_. I mean, if they're global, right? So how
much difference could one or the other make?
If there is any huge difference, I'd love to know as well.

I would imagine you haven't gotten many answers because Dreamweaver is
the most popular WYSIWYG editor for that kind of stuff. I've never used
Dreamweaver (or UltraDev?) but I hear they have "PHP Extensions" which
may explain the popularity.

The snipet below is used to generate the table containing
product info (product_id(pid), title, amount) and checkboxs.
When submit is clicked the data is passed to "instert into"
sql statement.
My question is how do I process checkbox when multi boxes have
been check. I keep thinking a array is created by check boxes?

Use string[] as the name(s) -- where "string" is the label for the array
you want.

So I should change the line:
echo "<td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"frm_pid\" value = \"$pid\"
></td>";
To:
echo "<td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"frm_pid[]\" value = \"$pid\"
></td>";
Or do I change the value=

You can use QUERY_STRING, but you could also use action=news,
action=links, action=asdfg and use a switch($action)
I guess you're trying to make the URL as pretty as possible, right?

well, if your URL is index.php?links
if (!empty($links))
is similar to what you'd want to use.

Does you standard (non session) seem to work ok? Such as:
<?php
// basic echo of var from form
echo "We've just echoed var from form\n";
echo "<p>$stuff</p>";
echo "<h2>$more_stuff</h2>";
echo "<h3>$still_more_stuff</h3>";
?>
Did you compile Apache and PHP from source? If so
could you provide me with the ./configure --options you used?
This is sound like a config/compile problem to me.
You might also want to cross-post to linux-admin mail list?

I've searched the archive but can't seem to find anything on the mail()
function of PHP. I've got the whole function working in a simplistic manner
but I can't do one thing. How is it possible to print arrays inside the
body of the message. I can't seem to run a loop or anything and all I have
are session variables to use. Thanks in advance for the help.

the mail function looks like : mail($to,$subject,$body) ("in a simplistic
manner")
you can use
$to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$subject="test";
for ($i=0;i<count(a)/*your array*/;$i++)
$body.=a[i];
//and then, of course
mail($to,$subject,$body);

Hi all
I have a small program which captures the output of a webpage and puts the
data in to a string variable.
I then use teh strip tags function of php to clean it up a bit.
then i want to use regular expressions to extract all the numbers from the
page ..they are like this usually numbers.numbers (IE: 40.40 ).
For some reason my expressions are not matching anything in the string
unless i type exactly what i am looking for... could the fact that there
are line reurns in the string be causing a problem? or do i need to
somehow tell php to goto the next line?
I had an older version of the program which saved teh data to a file and
then PhP scanned the file line by line..this worked...but i'm trying to
make a more elegant solution that won;t kill my hard drive faster ;)
Any tips appreciated...

I am not sure if this is the problem. but why don´t just do something like
this:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.cgi
Search the httpd.conf, there is surely already for the index.html ! ;)
Ehm, yeah, and this is one is ordered in priority from the left to right ..
Hope it helps !
Cya !
