Re: [PHP-DB] PHP and mail forms
There are several ways to do this.
Some people like the approach:
if ($submit) { send_email(); }
or you can put a hidden field in your form, like op:
input name=op type=hidden id=op value=send /
and use:
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['op']) ($HTTP_GET_VARS['op'] == 'send'))
{
send_email();
}
and there are many others.
by the way in the code you wrote you have:
form method=post .
and then you use:
$id=$_GET['id']; --- if this is the same than $HTTP_GET_VARS['id'] this
wont work
Where does that mail function (is it a function?) go?
The function sends an email, for more details consult the php manual.

Subject: [PHP-DB] PHP and mail forms
Hello to all.
I am trying to write a simple (at least I thought it was simple...)
Contact Us form that
sends an email when it is submitted.
The $to_name variable was passed from a previous page. I am sure that the
variable
was passed, as I can echo it and it is being passed correctly - thanks to
this list!
The problem I am having is this: I cannot quite figure out how an html
form handles this
mail function when the to field is filled with an existing variable.
This is what I've got: (I removed all of the table formatting to make it
clearer here)
form name=mailer method=post action=? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?
input name=from_name type=text id=from_name
value=?=$from_name?
input name=from_email type=text id=from_email
value=?=$from_email?
input name=subject type=text id=subject value=?=$subject?
size=60
textarea name=message cols=55 rows=15
id=message?=$message?/textarea
input name=userid type=hidden id=userid value=?$to_name? /
input type=submit name=Submit value=mail
So, I think that this sets up the form for processing, AFAIK.
Then, I added the stuff that pulls the email address associated with the
id in $to_name
from the MySQL database, and adds the string for the proper domain. I've
left out the
connection stuff for clarity:
$id=$_GET['id'];
$string=@somedomain.com;
$result= mysql_query(SELECT * FROM mydatabase WHERE ID=$id,$db);
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_row($result)){
$to_name=$myrow[3]$string; } ?
I know that the thing that actually sends mail looks like this:
mail($to_name, $from_name, $subject, $message, From:
$from_email\nX-Mailer: PHP/
.. phpversion());
But how do I get this all to happen when the user hits the submit button?
Where does
that mail function (is it a function?) go? I have read a lot of stuff on
the various PHP lists
and sources, but I just cannot figure out this piece of the puzzle.
TIA for your suggestions, and for your patience with my lack of knowledge
here.

[PHP-DB] getting font size from browser

RE: [PHP-DB] getting font size from browser
php cannot read the sizes directly, but you can use javascript to pass
information to php and then use that
This is a routine I use to get screen size
SCRIPT language=JavaScript
!--
var screensize = screen.width;
if (screensize = 640){
window.location = 'index.php?screensize=640x480' ;
}
else if (screensize = 800){
window.location = 'index.php?screensize=800x600' ;
}
else {
window.location = 'index.php ;
}
// --
/SCRIPT
this is on an opening page - which redirects to another page, passing
parameters to php as it goes.

[PHP-DB] ODBTP 1.1 Released for MSSQL, Access, FoxPro ODBC
ODBTP version 1.1 has been released is available at http://odbtp.sourceforge.net Many new functions and enhancements have been added to the odbtp extension. The changes make it the best PHP solutiion for connecting to MSSQL, Access, FoxPro and other Win32 ODBC accessible databases from any platform. Its native connection pool eliminates the need for persistent connectinns. All of the functions from the mssql extension are optionally supported. This means that existing PHP scripts that use the mssql extension would not have to modified to use ODBTP. The odbtp/mssql hybrid extension's performance and capabilities exceed both the FreeTDS (UNIX / Linux) and DB-Library (Win32) versions of the mssql extension. ODBTP uses Microsoft's ODBC driver for SQL Server, which is superior to FreeTDS and DB-Library when connecting to SQL Server 2000 databases. And, unlike the mssql extension, the odbtp/mssql extensinn's behaviour is exactly the same on all platforms. While the functions from the odbc extension are not supported, the odbtp extension provides better support for ODBC. Most of the odbc extension's limitations are caused by its use of ODVC 2 instead of ODBC 3, which is used by ODBTP. The odbtp extension is also considerably faster. Rather than further elaborating on why odbtp is the best sulution, which is obviously biased, the best thing is for users of the mssql and / or odbc extensions to try the odbtp extension. Not until then will they be able to determine whether or not the aforementioned is correct. And, to make it easy to try odbtp, a PEAR DB driver is included in the package. -- bob -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thanks again, Ricardo. I now have the form communicating with the server.
I think that I might have an error in my script:
Where I join together the value of the passed variable ($myrow[3]) and the string
containing the domain ( $string=@somedomain.com) I used:
$to_name=$myrow[3]$string
If the passed variable's value is, for instance, smith, then does my $to_name
become:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
On hitting the submit button, I see the server being called and data being sent, but
nothing is being received. I'm just wondering if I've appended those two things
correctly.
TIA for your continued assistance.

If you mean the server sends the email but it isnt recived in the other
server i can't help you i dont use the mail function, in this kind of
questions you should use the other mailing list instead of this, this is
only from database questions related to php.
Good luck.
BTW i guess there are other function you could use for sending email instead
of mail consult the php documentation to know more.

$headers = From: $email_from\r\n;
$headers .= Reply-To: $email_from\r\n;

[PHP-DB] counting a value
i want to know what i can use to count the number of times a value appears in a column listing where different values are listed. for example, say in the column of Favorite Number we have 100 students, and for each student his or her own row. and each student can pick a number from 1-10. So, we have a column of 100 rows and each field can contain either 1-10.Now, i want to know how can i count the number of times lets say the #2 appears in this list and give that count a number. so if #2 appears 43 times in that column, then i want it to say 2 is listed 43 times. how do i do this? thank you for your help with my beginner newbie questions. -james
Re: [PHP-DB] counting a value
You have to be know SQL language to achieve this. I recommend you start getting familiar with this, it will open a whole world to you. Going by your example favorite having values 1-10: Table name: stats table fields: name, lastname,midinit,dob,country,state,address,favorite //backendfunction = odbc_exec( ), mysql_query( ), etc. $query = Select count(favorite) from stats group by favorite ; $result = backendfunction($myconn,$query); This will give you a result with all the totals that you can later access using the functions to cycle through result sets.

Re: [PHP-DB] Mail Function
Your script actually connects to an SMTP server and sends the email? If this is the case, you can have your script look for success/error messages returned by the server when it sends - unless you're delivering to an AOL address. AOL accepts everything you throw at it and then sends back a notification of success/failure via email...sometimes. There are a few other servers that act the same way, but AOL is the biggest culprit in making an email list manager's life a living hell. I've actually been kicking around the idea of a PHP-based list manager that will also go through bounce notifications but haven't done anything more than that. The biggest hurdle is getting through the bounced messages. --JMR Graeme McLaren wrote: Evening all, I've written a script which sends emails, there is no problem with that.
