Hi All!
Sure, here is what I've:
<?php
$uploaddir='/tmp/';
$account_file = "account.txt"; //Substitute with a valid file on ur system
$account_file = $uploaddir.basename($account_file);
$file = fopen($account_file,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($account_file));
fclose($file);
// echo $data;
$to = " [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$from = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$message = "Hi! Where are you these days?";
$headers = "From: $from";
// Generate a boundary string
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
// Add the headers for a file attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

So if them numbers change, which they can, because they are assigned

That was an example only.
See my next reply for an example of how to get the port from the db and
go from there.
Since we don't know your db structure, table names, field names I made
it "generic" and you'll have to modify to suit your needs.

Hi all,
I would like to say good job to this newsgroup , they are the best.
Ok. My dilemma is that i have to compare values between 2 table which
are exactly the same structure and fields.
Below is rough example .
The table are tbl_chassis and tbl_chassis_temp. Below are the fields.
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`serial_no` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`host_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`chasis_model` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`chasis_flash_size` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`chasis_dram_size` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`chasis_sw_version` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`chasis_eos` date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00',
`chasis_eol` date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00',
`chasis_user_field_1` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`chasis_user_field_2` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`chasis_user_field_3` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`status` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
What i need to figure out are when the records are deleted , updated and
insert ,i need to update status in tbl_chassis table. What i am plan to
do is to select query in the tbl_chassis_temp table and compare the
value from each records to the records in the tbl_chassis table.Any
others ways to do it?
There are about 1000 records in each table.
What is the better alternative to do this ? Thanks

If you're changing the status, why not do it in both tables at the same
time?
$query = "update table1 set status=newstatus where ...";
mysql_query($query);
$query = "update table2 set status=newstatus where ...";
mysql_query($query);
Another option is to change to use the INNODB engine in mysql and use
foreign keys (note they only work "properly" with InnoDB tables, MyISAM
tables don't have this capability).

Hello List Members,
I am very tired of deleting spam messages received from PHP mailing lists
and I think we all are.
As I can see most of the spam messages are in Chinese / Japanese. Since
this is an English-only mailing list I would like to suggest blocking all
messages containing such Chinese / Japanese characters in body, or at least
marking all of them with the word [SPAM] in subject (so mail clients will be
able to deliver it to the Spam folder). AFAIK PHP lists use some home-grown
moderator so doing this should be an easy task.
Of course that may affect some legal users that have such characters in
their signatures, but in this case it sounds reasonable just to reply with
an email explaining blocking policy so any legal user will know what to do
to get his message go through the moderator.
What do you think?
Have a great day,

I am subscribed to most of the PHP mailing lists, not only to PHP general.
There is the same problem too. So receive something more than just "3 a
day".
Also I remember that spam traffic was much less in the past and I really
expect it grow in the future since spammers can see they are not blocked in
any way.
Do you want to fight against hundreds of spam messages in the future?
I don't.

Do you know who the list admin is?
php-general has been traditionally "admined" by users flaming people posting
"bad content".
This doesn't work for spam.
Having that said, feel free to set up procmail or something like that, to
block message with chinese/japanese characters.

Excuse me... in which scenarios isn't fork() available? As far as I
know, it even works on Windows (albeit slower... not that you'll be
gaining any performance by curl'ing your URL - that's actually slower
than fork()).

This is true. Basically you need to ensure that the child process
exits() always, or you'll have a ton of apache processes running left
behind. Not to mention that you should not attempt to access any of the
shared resources (yes, that includes print and echo since they share the
standard output file descriptor, and obviously database connections are
included) because you're not going to get consistent results.

Hi Folks,
Bit of an unusual question here, which is basically as a result of my lack
of understanding as to how Sessions work.
I've created a Captcha image solution for an application I look after, and
when we came to look into something that required debugging, I realized I'm
using sessions without understanding how they work.
Basically, the login includes an image, and textbox for the captcha text.
The image then generates a session with a variable name of x, and a value of
the characters from the captcha image. The user then logs in, including the
text on the graphic.
## IMAGE CODE:
session_start();
$_SESSION['captcha_text'] = $randomly_generated_text;
The login check page obviously checks the username and password, and also
does the following:
## CHECK LOGIN CODE
session_start();
if ($_SESSION['captcha_text']!=$_POST["captcha_text"]) {
#FAIL LOGIN TEXT
}
session_destroy();
It works a treat, however what I want to understand is how the session is
kept relevant to that particular user's session - mainly because my boss
wants to check there's no security implication.
We've thought this through and believe that in other applications, there is
also a cookie or post/get variable set in the form, which includes a
reference to the session name.
Are we missing something, or is it really magic?
Cheers

The session is stored on the server, typically in a file in /tmp.
This gives the additional security needed for your type of application
because the data is never directly seen by the user.
The link to the user is provided by a variable, typically stored as a
cookie though it can be passed via GET if cookies are disabled. The
variable contains a random string which links to the temporary session
file. All the handling of the session, retrieving the data etc. is done
by PHP for you.
An example of this in practice:
The first page starts a session, setting $_SESSION['foo'] = 'bar';
A cookie is created in the header, setting the variable PHPSESSION =
'232323';
At the end of the request a file /tmp/sess_232323 is created, this
contains a slight variant of serialize($_SESSION);
The second page starts a session, php grabs $_COOKIE['PHPSESSION'] and
looks up the file /tmp/sess_232323, reading in the data.
You can now access $_SESSION['foo'].
The above is slightly simplified but it gives you a good idea of what
happens and some of the security risks that remain. Most of the fixed
strings I used above are configurable including the variable used in the
cookie, the timeout for the cookie, the location of the session files,
the starting bit of the session file and how quickly the server side
session files are deleted.

PHP tends to send output in content transfer encoding "chunked" (I think
this is true when output buffering is on). <?php ?> blocks usually have
their output sent in one chunk. The browser renders the chunks as they
come, but oftentimes they delay rendering until a sensible number of
HTML closing tags have arrived.
Now, on to the real answer to your question. No, under normal
conditions you can't have your users' browsers interact with a live PHP
script. Web programming is Web REQUEST->PHP RESPONSE, and you must use
support technology (like sessions, cookies or manual carryover of form
data) to make session state persistence possible.
In other words: no, if the user clicks a button, it doesn't "call a
function or branch in an if/then control statement" immediately.
Rather, an entirely new PHP process, totally unaware of the former one,
is called upon to service that request.
Now, while in the PHP realm, there *is* one way to have your web client
follow the pattern "REQUEST->RESPONSE,RESPONSE,RESPONSE" ad infinitum.
This is called slow loading (or Comet), and basically involves:
- having the web client load a PHP script through a hidden IFRAME
- having the PHP script *never* finish execution (unless, of course, the
user hits Stop in his browser window), and continually send data through
the connection (plus one ob_flush() after each chunk just to be
politically correct). Usually, data payloads ("page updates") are to be
carried on via JavaScript snippets, because that's about the only
technology that allows for browser state manipulation "in vivo", I mean,
live as the connection goes and never finishes.
Given a properly architected solution, this kind of technology can
outperform the famous AJAX, both in response times and in server load.
Given a poorly done solution, this kind of technology can be as bad or
dramatically worse than AJAX.
Plus, you gotta remember that PHP usually has a maximum duration on
scripts, so you need to architect around that (which isn't hard to do,
namely you have a counter and as the counter approaches the maximum load
time, just a few seconds earlier you send a <script>location.href
= ...</script> to have the browser reload the IFRAME, and exit() your
PHP script.

Hi
I have this code (PHP5) as part of a class to do some LDAP stuff...
public function connect()
{
$this->ds = @ldap_connect( $this->server, $this->port ); ###
This seems to return true no matter waht????
if ( $this->ds ) {
// A successful connection was made
$this->message .= 'A successful connection was made to the
LDAP server: <b>' . $this->server . "</b><br /><br /> \n";
} else {
// The connection was not successful
$this->message .= 'It was not possible to connect to the
LDAP server: <b>' . $this->server . "</b><br /> \n";
$this->message .= 'LDAP Error Message: ' .
ldap_error( $this->ds ) . "<br /> \n";
$this->message .= 'LDAP Error Number: ' .
ldap_errno( $this->ds ) . "<br /> \n";
}
}
As you can see, I am expecting a return value of true only if the
ldap_connect makes a successful connection. However, even if I pass
values which should make a false, it gives a true.
What am I missing out on here - could any one tell me why true is always
returned?
Cheers

I believe the manual says that ldap_connect doesn't actually make the
connection but rather it just simply sets up the connection
parameters. The actual connection doesn't happen until ldap_bind is
executed.
- or so I recall reading some where ;-)

Greetings all,
I have a situation that I'm not sure how it can be done with PHP. I have
written a web-application that produces
a monthly statement for our customers. Now, I need to automate the
printing of these monthly statements.
The way I was thinking of doing this was through Perl. However, I have
discovered that a Perl script will not
work.
I know I can build the URL to the monthly statement. What I don't know
how to do is automate this process
and get it to print to a specific printer. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

If you cron job the script file and perhaps convert it to something like
PDF then you could feed it to the printer through the shell script...
I'm sure there are other ways, just one suggestion from the top of my head..

I am trying to get PDO going on a new desktop with Ubuntu 6.06. I have
installed php5, php5-dev, etc and have php5 working with no problems. I
then did a pecl install pdo and that installed ok. When I run phpinfo()
I get that PDO is activated and the drivers has no value.
I am now trying to install pdo_mysql and getting the following:
checking for PDO includes... checking for PDO includes...
/usr/include/php/ext
configure: error:
You've configured extension pdo_mysql, which depends on extension pdo,
but you've either not enabled pdo, or have disabled it.
ERROR: `/tmp/tmptDnQ5L/PDO_MYSQL-1.0.2/configure' failed
When I list the contents of /usr/include/php/ext I get:
ls /usr/include/php/ext/pdo
php_pdo_driver.h php_pdo.h
Any ideas as to where i need to go from here?
Thanks for the help.

you need to have '--with-pdo_mysql' and '--with-pdo' in your configure
line
'--with-pdo' may need to be something like '--with-pdo=shared'
does that help?
I was trying to look at that, but since I'm installing via pecl and not
building from source how do you get those option in there? I see that
pecl downloads the file to /var/tmp/pear-build-root but there are no
files in there once the pecl install dies.
Thanks

this bug report may also describe the problem you are having:
http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=5010
what is your configure line for php5? (see phpinfo())
also what version of php5 do you have? I suggest you grab 5.1
also given that it is a development/personal machine your running on
why not build php from source? - it's actually quite easy - heck I can do it,
and I know Jack Shit - just ask Jasper Byrant-Greene)
Version 5.1.2
Configure: There is no configure command field in the phpinfo output.
I don't build it from source because I like to use packages that I run
on the server. Actually I run backports on the server, but it looks like
I'm going to run into the same issues on the server that I am having
here. If I had just compiled the source I would never have realized that
the server will have the same issues. I figure that if I can install on
this machine the same process should then apply to the server when I try
to update it.
The bug you pointed to is close, but not quite. The bug appears fixed in
5.1 and the problem I am having is not the lack of finding the .h file.
It just seems that it is not picking up PDO is enabled even though it is
for some reason.
Thanks for the help.
