PHP List,
I run a few various social groups, and with each one I keep in contact
with members by emailing them short newsletters.
All my user information is stored in a MySQL database. I use PHP to get
the relevant contact information, and use the mail() command to send out
the emails one by one, so that each email is a little personalized.
I've used this system for many years now with no problems up until now.
What has changed, though, is that in recent years, anti-spam measures
have become so aggressive that more and more people who sign up to my
groups complain that they never receive the emails.
A lot of the times, after they alert me to the issue, I can educate them
a little about the anti-spam measures they most likely have on their
system, and walk them through how to make it so that my newsletters go
through.
However, that is clearly not enough.
To shorten a story that has already gone on a little long, it's come to
my attention that part of the reason that my emails may not be getting
through are because the headers are not sufficiently legitimate looking
enough to bypass some server side anti-spam measures. Things like
"Return-Path" are being set so that they look like they come from an
email address that begins with the username "nobody".
mail($email, $subject, $mailContent, $fromAddress);
You need to set the 5th parameter to change who it comes from (instead
of "nobody"). See php.net/mail for more info.
You can't change that parameter if safe-mode is on for the server or if
exim doesn't have the webserver user as a 'trusted-user' (I think only
exim is affected by this particular issue).

If it is sendmail it would be the -f parameter to set the Envelope-From
address. ie... php.ini would have 'sendmail_path = /pathto/sendmail -f
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Since PHP 4.0.5 you can also set the
additional_parameter like php.net/manual/function.mail.php (the example
there is specifically for this use.)
What you actually should be doing: install SpamAssasin on your
workstation and run the message through it in test mode... Figure out
what rules get hit and work to resolve those. Run it like `spamassassin
-t < message_with_headers`
So, you'd copy your complete message (as you have above) into
message_with_headers and run it through SA. Maybe SA is giving you
points for things like too many exclamations, certain ratio of HTML...
I doubt that having a return-path of 'nobody' is the lowest-hanging
fruit you can pick up here to make yourself look less spammy.
Also make sure the sending mail server isn't listed in any blacklists
(yahoo for RBL lookup tool to check.)

Travis, Chris,
Thank you for your advice.
I've installed spamassassin and I'm using it to monitor how well my PHP
generated emails rate as spam.
So far, I'm not doing well. I have two main issues so far:
1. Spamassassin says:
Spam detection software, running on the system "homebase", has
identified this incoming email as possible spam. [...]
Content analysis details: (0.3 points, 5.0 required)
pts rule name description
---- ----------------------
--------------------------------------------------
0.3 AWL AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list
I looked up about auto white-lists on the net, and it says that it's a
comparison between the current and previous emails. But for testing
purposes, I don't really want it to compare against previous emails,
since previous test emails would be "spammier" and bias spamassassin the
wrong way.
How can I compensate for this?
2. I've attempted to add the "Return-Path" headers to my headers, like so:
$headers = "Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$headers .= "From: Tokyo Street Hockey Association
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
mail($member, $subject, $content, $headers);
And yet, when I look at the headers of the email that's being generated,
it says:
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Received: from server.mywebhost.com (ns1.nameserver.com
[123.123.123.123] (may be forged)
(Note that I've changed the names of servers and the DNS just to keep
some info private)
Why are my attempts to set these headers in PHP not taking effect?

Because the return path can't be set manually.
You need to set the 5th parameter:
mail($to, $subject, $headers, $body, '[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
or
ini_set('sendmail_from', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
mail($to, $subject, $headers, $body);

Hello everyone.
I have got some parts of my system where some files are sent and i use ftp
functions to save suche files.
When i run it in my local machine, it works fine but, when it is on the
server i got some errors.
I was using ftp_put to copy such files from upload_temp folder of php to my
system own folder and it does not work, i thought it could be because the
ftp user has no permission in upload_temp folder of php.
Most likely. ftp users are usually locked in to their own home folders
and can't access any other parts of the system. It's simply a security
thing.
Then i tried to use php_chmod to give permissions for the apache user,
move_uploaded_files to move such file and ftp_chmod agais to remove
permissions. It does not work too, i think it is because the server has
safe_mode on.
chmod will be affected by safe mode (please read the documentation):
When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories
you are about to operate on have the same UID (owner) as the script that
is being executed. In addition, you cannot set the SUID, SGID and sticky
bits.
move_uploaded_file will always fail because the file isn't uploaded
through a form. The documentation makes this rather clear (see also
is_uploaded_file).

It means that the UID (owner) of the folder ought to be the apache user or
the ftp user?

The file realy was uploaded by a form and it is in the temporary upload
folder of php.

Someone kindly gave me this once. I now need to reverse engineer it to
remove the quotes and plus signs from $searchenquiry. Is it as simple as
this?
// FINAL RESULT: [+"john" +"johnston"]
$sEnquiry = preg_replace("/\s+/", "+", $sEnquiry);
// RESULT: ["john" "johnston"]
$sEnquiry = preg_replace("/\s+/", "\"", $sEnquiry);
// RESULT: [john johnston]
--------original code-----------------------------------------------
$sEnquiry = preg_replace("/\s+/", " ", $sEnquiry);
// remove whitespace from beginning & end
// RESULT: [john johnston]
$sEnquiry = preg_replace("/\s+/", " ", $sEnquiry);
// replace internal whitespace with single spaces
// RESULT: [john johnston]
$sEnquiry = str_replace(" ", "\" +\"", $sEnquiry);
// replace each space with quote-space-plus-quote
// RESULT: [john" +"johnston]
$sEnquiry = "+\"" . $sEnquiry . "\"";

Hi list,
I got a php error in my apache log:
PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in
/var/www/html/dummy/typo3conf/ext/direct_mail/locallang_tca.xml on line 1
This is line 1 of locallang_tca.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
I try to switch "short_open_tag" to off in php.ini, but I got a bad page
visualization.
In fact it's visible also source code while displaying pages.
Any ideas?
Thank in advance

It's impossible for me to make this change.
xml files are packaged in external modules. I can't manipulate them!

Hi there, following words are my ideas about that HTML PHP parting. I hope you
can understand my broken english and do not take personally.
SEPERATING html FROM php ARE USELESS
For years, some php users try to show php to look like other programming
languages like C or JAVA. I believe they try to prove PHP can act like other
programming languages because most professionals from other disciplines
thinks that thing PHP was so easy to write to someting and because of this
that PHP thing can't be a professional tool.
To show professionalisim of php, people start to make programs using 3 tier
programming aproach. Then that MAGIC WORD seperating business layer from
presentation layer comes to php land...
After some time community sees templating engines, today you will see lots of
them oh sorry TONS of them...
I'm sorry guys, I admire your efforts, REALLY.
Personally I spend more than 2 years to create some kind of OO library to
making forms easly. And after some time I realize, we cannot standardize
HTML/Javascirpt, every new project we have to challange to new interface
problems and because of this I have to redesign that templating library to
not broke code integritiy. Of course I may use that common library's to solve
problems and of course later or sooner I find myself into a deep trouble.
That new project can't fit that lib.
And of course that was not only problem about templating engines.
They are slow, hell yes SLOW. (yea yea I know your uber template system
blazingly faster than more popular ones). You have to open tons of mini tpl
files, have to parse them, have to manage them.
So if that templating system generates this much of problem why we should use
them ? Just Because of our uber HTML designer can't understand php ?.
I'm sorry, things are changing, nearly all new project are contains dynamic
parts. These visual designers have to learn some degree of php code.
And also I believe we have to change aproaching and usage of php language.
I see most people using php dynamic part of their html code. They using php
like
<a href="somepage.php?a=<?php echo $foo; ?>"><?php echo $bar; ?></a>
And I suggest we can aproaching html marking language to part of php
presentation layer.
Like
<?php
...
generate $head
generate $header
generate $left
generate $content
generate $right
generate $footer
...
include('theme.inc.php')
print $strOutput;
?>
theme.inc.php
<?php
$strOutput="<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\"
\"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\";>
<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\"; lang=\"en\">
<head>
".$head."
</head>
<body>
<div id='mainDiv' class='cMainDiv'>
<div id='headDiv' class='cHeadDiv'>
".$header."
</div>
<div id='contDiv' class='cContDiv'>
<table border='0' cellpadding='0'
cellspacing='1' width='100%'>
<tr>
<td id='contLeftTD'
class='cContLeftTD' valign='top'>
".$left."
</td>
<td id='contCentTD'
class='cContCentTD' valign='top'>
".$content."
</td>
<td id='contRightTD'
class='cContRightTD' valign='top'>
".$right."
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div id='footDiv' class='cFootDiv'>
".$footer."
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>";
?>
Also we can use php to generate some kind of html code to reduce our workload,
I believe best aproach was, do not generate data and html code in same
function...
Seperating html generation and data generation best way to increase code
reuse.
For example
function makeSelects($arrData,$strRequest)
{
$intSize = sizeof($arrData);
for($intS=0;$intS<$intSize;$intS++)
{
@$strReturn.="<option value='".$arrData[$intS]['val']."'";
if(@$strRequest == $arrData[$intS]['val']) { $strReturn.= "
selected"; }
$strReturn.= ">".$arrData[$intS]['tex']."</option>\n";
}
return $strReturn;
}
with this function we can generate select options.
$sqlGetType = "
SELECT typeId,typeName
FROM listType
WHERE typeStatus = 'active'
ORDER BY typeName ASC";
$resGetType = doSql($sqlGetType); // put your sql extraction function here
$intT = 0;
while(!$resGetType->EOF)
{
$arrType[$intT]['val'] = $resGetType->fields[0];
$arrType[$intT]['tex'] = $resGetType->fields[1];
$intT++;
$resGetType->MoveNext();
}
$strType = makeSelects($arrType,@$_REQUEST['type']);
echo "<select name='type' size ='1'>
".$strType."
</select>";
examples may go further.
And please, do not think seperating Html from php and is good thing. All of
them part of the system.
Or just think, can we seperate SQL from php ?, is there any SQLling template
or someting like that library available? If I remember correctly that SQL was
another language.
And of course my ideas has tons of objection and I think this way.
Thanks to reading my ideas about php and html seperation. I hope I can
translate my ideas about the issue.

files, have to parse them, have to manage them.
So if that templating system generates this much of problem why we should
use
them ? Just Because of our uber HTML designer can't understand php ?.
I'm sorry, things are changing, nearly all new project are contains dynamic
parts. These visual designers have to learn some degree of php code.
And also I believe we have to change aproaching and usage of php language.
I see most people using php dynamic part of their html code. They using php
like
<a href="somepage.php?a=<?php echo $foo; ?>"><?php echo $bar; ?></a>
And I suggest we can aproaching html marking language to part of php
presentation layer.
Like
<?php
...
generate $head
generate $header
generate $left
generate $content
generate $right
generate $footer
...
include('theme.inc.php')
print $strOutput;
?>
theme.inc.php
<?php
$strOutput="<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\"
\"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\";>
<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\"; lang=\"en\">
<head>
".$head."
</head>
<body>
<div id='mainDiv' class='cMainDiv'>
<div id='headDiv' class='cHeadDiv'>
".$header."
</div>
<div id='contDiv' class='cContDiv'>
<table border='0' cellpadding='0'
cellspacing='1' width='100%'>
<tr>
<td id='contLeftTD'
class='cContLeftTD' valign='top'>
".$left."
</td>
<td id='contCentTD'
class='cContCentTD' valign='top'>
".$content."
</td>
<td id='contRightTD'
class='cContRightTD' valign='top'>
".$right."
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div id='footDiv' class='cFootDiv'>
".$footer."
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>";
?>
Also we can use php to generate some kind of html code to reduce our
workload,
I believe best aproach was, do not generate data and html code in same
function...
Seperating html generation and data generation best way to increase code
reuse.
For example
function makeSelects($arrData,$strRequest)
{
$intSize = sizeof($arrData);
for($intS=0;$intS<$intSize;$intS++)
{
@$strReturn.="<option value='".$arrData[$intS]['val']."'";
if(@$strRequest == $arrData[$intS]['val']) { $strReturn.= "
selected"; }
$strReturn.= ">".$arrData[$intS]['tex']."</option>\n";
}
return $strReturn;
}
with this function we can generate select options.
$sqlGetType = "
SELECT typeId,typeName
FROM listType
WHERE typeStatus = 'active'
ORDER BY typeName ASC";
$resGetType = doSql($sqlGetType); // put your sql extraction function here
$intT = 0;
while(!$resGetType->EOF)
{
$arrType[$intT]['val'] = $resGetType->fields[0];
$arrType[$intT]['tex'] = $resGetType->fields[1];
$intT++;
$resGetType->MoveNext();
}
$strType = makeSelects($arrType,@$_REQUEST['type']);
echo "<select name='type' size ='1'>
".$strType."
</select>";
examples may go further.
And please, do not think seperating Html from php and is good thing. All of
them part of the system.
Or just think, can we seperate SQL from php ?, is there any SQLling template
or someting like that library available? If I remember correctly that SQL
was
another language.
And of course my ideas has tons of objection and I think this way.
Thanks to reading my ideas about php and html seperation. I hope I can
translate my ideas about the issue.

Sancar "Delifisek" Saran

Hi geeks,
i am uploading a file to server. Uploading part is working fine. i
am struggle with minor part. actually before uploading file, i am checking
for existance of a file. If it is not exists, directly i am uploading that
file. If it exists, i sud ask user that "This file is exits. Do You really
want to Upload it?"...If YES, i will overwrite it. otherwise, i won't do
anything.
i am using javascript for popup windows. i used confirm()
function(CANCEL / OK).
the problem is, i am not able to get the variable value for php
script. Of course, php is server side programming language & javascript
client side programming language.
Plz see my code & give the solution.
See my progress:
"upload.php"
# Checking for the File existance
if (file_exists($fullPath)) {
echo "<script language='JavaScript'>if(confirm('This
file is already Exists ! Do You Want to Duplicate ?')) { var s=1;} else {var
s=0;} </script>";
$decide="<script
language='JavaScript'>document.write(s)</script>";
echo "$decide";
if (!$decide) {
// Don't Upload
exit;
}
else {
// Upload the file
}
In this code, echo "$decide"; is printing whether 1 or 0. But by using that
variable, i cudn't proceed further. Bcoz it is not useful for manipulating.
* Is anyway to store that variable value in a static file, so that, i can
proceed easily.
* Is it possible to execute shell commands by javascript, so that i can
create file & store this variable.
If it is not possible, plz give any other solution.
Expecting ur reply.
Thanks in advance
Prabhakaran.

This is my ideas:
If the file has already existed, the server-side script could save it in
a place temporarily, and marks the file by an unique identification
(such as md5 checksum). And then the the server-side tells the
client-side file exists and gives it the id. If the user choose
overwrite, the client-side only need to post the received id, do not
need to upload the file again.

Hi,
I am developing a "tell-a-friend" application for one of my customers. We
are going to have it all located on their server, and want to make sure we
take the right decisions on the road so that we don't spam mark our server
and don't end up in the SPAM inbox of the recipients. This is how I have
prepared it all:
1. We have setup an email that do have an inbox and is REAL. We have an
mailbox connected to it and can send and read emails from it via webmail and
pop
2. We have an SMTP server that requires authentication
3. We are going to use PHP Mailer
Using PHP Mailer and the SMTP sending function should make the emails look
pretty real, am I right? On that we make sure that the HTML that we create
is good, check that with http://spamcheck.sitesell.com
<http://spamcheck.sitesell.com/> or similar.
Shouldn't I be pretty good to go? We are not talking about millions of
emails per day here, maybe a few thousands. What are the risks of ending up
being a spam marked ip?
Best regards,

does $dir have a value ?
probably nothing to do with php, does your page work if there was no php
code in it and if you replaced
<?php echo $dir?> with a page url.
and go through some tutorial on php !!!
