I can't under stood but PHP gaves me an error:
"UnExcepted $this" for " || $this->getFileExtension($file) == 'jpg' "
When I removed jpg extension check it's okay... PHP script runs well.
What is the problem :)
public function loadImages($folder) {
$result = $this->filemanager->fecthFiles($folder);
$images = array();
if (sizeof($result)>=1 && $result !== false) {
foreach ($result as $file) {
if ($this->getFileExtension($file) == 'gif' ||
$this->getFileExtension($file) == 'png'
|| $this->getFileExtension($file) == 'jpg') {
$images[] = array('name'=>$file);
}
}
}
return $images;
}

Thank you Anup,
But why I getting this error ?
is this a bug ?
I have changed my code like this
if (in_array($this->getFileExtension($file), array('gif', 'jpg', 'png'))) {
}
but I can't understand.

Its not a bug.
It has to do with operator precindence and associativity.

Ah, yes, I see what you mean.

Which will still get rid of most of the attacks. But then so will
something that automatically monitors accesses to your form, and
selective bans IP-addresses (e.g. after too many attempts during N
minutes).

Absolutely. Same goes for encryption etc.

Hi,
i know that this is not necessary the best forum for that, but i need to get
a real feedback and i guess you already faced the same issue as mine.
basically, i develop php web application on windows XP platform.
So i have apache 2.24 installed and PHP 5.2.4.
now i would like to test if my application send emails, so i've checked my
php.ini file and it seems ok.
i tried to use IIS from windows to define a default SMTP server, but as my
emails are not sent, i guess something is wrong with IIS.
so does it exist a free SMTP server (similar that linux daemon) but running
on windows XP ?
if yes, where can i find it and what steps should i perform to be sure my
emails are sent ?
i do not want to transfer all my web application each time i want to test
email sending...
i would like to test it locally.
thanks for your feedback.

I could be wrong, but I thought that you had to specify the SMTP server
in the php.ini file.

Maybe that means you already did that. The second issue might be that
your SMTP server is MS Exchange, and it requires authentication.
If that is the case, then search for php SMTP authentication:

Hi Alain,
I think you have two options:
1 - Install a MTA in your windows box, such as Mercury Mail (if you install
XAMPP, you get Apache, PHP, MySQL, Filezilla FTP Server and Mercury Mail - use
google to know what XAMPP is). To use the "mail" function on windows, you will
NEED a MTA (correct me if I'm wrong, but sendmail is not available "in PHP for
Windows", the "mail" function will try to reach an MTA on port 25 or the port
you have set up in your php.ini).
2 - Use SMTP Authentication to send out emails on behalf of an existing
authenticated email box (or a relay server if you find one).
If you choose the second option (SMTP authentication) you will likely also use
PHPMailer (or PEAR_Mail, or any of the featured classes at
http://www.phpclasses.org that support SMTP authentication) unless you are
willing to write your own class for SMTP stuff through sockets. So let's say you
have an email box with the following information:
User: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Password: mypassword
SMTP Server: smtp.mydomain.com
Your PHPMailer code will look like:
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->Mailer = 'smtp';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$mail->Password = 'mypassword';
$mail->Host = 'smtp.mydomain.com';
$mail->From = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$mail->FromName = 'My beautiful website';
$mail->Subject = 'You know what this is';
$mail->Body = 'Your email message';
$mail->AddAddress('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'Mr X-Man');
$mail->AddReplyTo('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'My Beautiful Website');
$mail->Send();
Hope this helps. This issue drove me crazy on my first month with PHP... what is
worse, I asked in the office I worked for at that time. They said "it was not
possible" (great I don't work there anymore). As "The Rock" said... "NEVER SAY
NO" :).
Cheers,
Rob(inet)

Yes this is the correct way to do things. As i said,
i'm using different styles for the menus links
indicating the current page. Suppose my page has one
horiontal menu at the top and one vertical menu at the
left. In this case, one element of the horizontal menu
and one from the vertical menu will be displayed
differently from the other elements. So the function
that will be inluded will be more complex to handle
this. I was just wondering, how other poeple are
dealing with that. Of course it is feasable, but i
want to do it the best way.
I hope the problem i posted is clearer now
Two menus, do you mean like this:

It's still just css and php -- simply a logic problem.

Yes like that, but you can consider also that the
vertical menu has different style for the link of the
current page. Anyway it does not matter for this
problem. Can you show us how your php function looks
like? Or maybe you are just doing a test for each link
for your function to know if it is the link that
should be displayed differently. I was wondering if
there is a way to do the same thing without the
overhead of all that "if " statements.
