Hello,

Hi all,
We would like to send out mass emails for some of our clients, these are
HTML email and text alternative for the email clients that cant read those
HTML emails.
We have developed some scripts to send the emails using phpmailer.
Now we anticipate sending emails in batches but not sure how many at once.
This depends on what is your goal is sending it in batches. If it is to
avoid server overload, you need to watch your server load and suspend
delivery when it has too much load.
But if you have other concerns, you need to tell what are those concerns
so we can advise.
Also what is the best way about going around being black listed due to spam
issues.
If you do not send messages to people that do not want them, that
reduces the chances of being blacklisted.
I know that the headers need to be set to avoid being detected as spam.
That is a problem mostly with malformed messages. As long as the
receipient address is in a visible header (To or Cc), at least Hotmail
will not junk your messages for that.
Therefore you should be sending separate messages to each recipient so
you can personalize at least the To header.
If your message is the same to all recipients, you should cache the MIME
message data for the message body.
I do that using this MIME message class when sending newsletters that
are the same for all recipients. Internally the class can cache the
message body even when the headers vary for instance the To: and
Return-Path: .
It saves a lot of server load that otherwise would be wasted rebuilding
the same message body.

Have you tried blowfish or the Google Translator? The last time I tried
the google one, it did a whole page on the fly and seemed to be pretty
good at it.

Maybe it's worth trying http://www.elance.com ? (btw, "Indian" covers
several different languages).

For posterity and to thank Robert...
I have determined that the mechanism in PHP does not allow you to
specify tls for a connection that initially starts off as a clear text
connection. When you set up sendmail to use tls for smtp auth it allows
a connecting client to send connection details specifying tls at which
point it will start talking tls. PHP expects the connection to be
dedicated tls. So if you specify in sendmail to use a separate port for
tls and you point PHP to that port it works like a champ.
Thanks to Robert for at least giving it a shot. Hopefully this will be
helpful to the next poor soul...

Hello,
on 09/05/2008 12:20 AM Larry Brown said the following:
I am having a ball of a time trying to figure this one out... If anyone
has dealt with this before I'd love to get some morsels of wisdom from
you...
I am trying to connect to a postfix server I have set up remotely using
smtp auth with tls. The postfix appears to be configured correctly at
this point. I can telnet to port 25 and it will list tls as an option
as the howto describes it should. I try to connect from php and get:
PHP Warning: fsockopen(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL
Error messages:
error:1408F10B:SSL routines:func(143):reason(267)
in /opt/scriptsMain/include/class.smtp.php on line 122
I suspect that you are using the wrong port to send messages via SSL .
The fact that port 25 SMTP connections list TLS as available mode, that
is for starting TLS after the connection was started.
I use this class to send messages via SMTP using SSL to Gmail, but the
port is not 25. You may want to try it to see if it works for your
server. Take a look at the test_smtp_message.php example script.
http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage
You also need this for SMTP deliveries:
http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass
and this to initiate authentication:

Thanks very much to both of you.
This does the trick! I had (stupidly) tried:
foreach ($c as new RecursiveIteratorIterator($item))
which with hindsight is completely illogical! I also wasn't aware of the
constants. Is there a simple tutorial / docs you know of for SPL? I have
tried numerous google searches but the tutorials I have found assume I
already know what I am talking about (big mistake:-) ). Even the PHP
docs are very sparse. A real shame, as the SPL seems fantastic and I
would love to use it more widely.
One other thing... is there a mirror for this list? I'm sure SPL must
have been covered many times before, but every time I try to search, the
server times out.
Thanks once again,
David

Hi
I am getting myself quite confused while trying to use SPL to
recursively iterate through a collection of objects, and any
help would be greatly appreciated!
My collection of objects is contained in a class (which I
frequently use to iterate through objects stored in an array
in the class), and I think my hasChildren() and getChildren()
methods are working ok, but I am unable to make it recursive.
I am particularly confused by where I have to use
RecursiveIteratorIterator (do I have to at all?),
something like:
$c = new Categories;
$c->loadAll();
foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator($c) as $item)
var_dump($item);
make sure to pass the appropriate mode when instantiating
RecursiveIteratorIterator; the default is LEAVES_ONLY, which i presume
is not what people want in most cases. here is the list of modes from
the spl docs,
/mode/ Operation mode (one of):
* LEAVES_ONLY only show leaves
* SELF_FIRST show parents prior to their childs
* CHILD_FIRST show all children prior to their parent
so, i typically use SELF_FIRST, and then Jochem's example would become,
..
foreach(new RecursiveIteratorIterator($c,
RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST) as $item)
..

not really, there are these 2:
http://www.php.net/~helly/
http://www.php.net/spl
and tutorials of (na)various quality ... and we have Nathan, who seems to
be well up to speed on SPL (IIRC he's tested and posted quite a bit about/with
it)
I have
tried numerous google searches but the tutorials I have found assume I
already know what I am talking about (big mistake:-) ).
keep cross-referencing the info in different sources until something sticks. :-)
Even the PHP
docs are very sparse. A real shame, as the SPL seems fantastic and I
would love to use it more widely.
SPL has some very nice features, bare in mind that often the abstraction they
offer is a performance overhead ... but not always, for instance I found that
a 'new FilterIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator())' was faster than using
glob() (well 2 calls to glob()) when the number of files exceeded around 300
(in the given directory structure).
One other thing... is there a mirror for this list? I'm sure SPL must
have been covered many times before, but every time I try to search, the

plenty, where do you think the spammers grep your email addr from?
try http://marc.info/?l=php-general&r=1&w=2
...
/mode/ Operation mode (one of):
* LEAVES_ONLY only show leaves
* SELF_FIRST show parents prior to their childs
* CHILD_FIRST show all children prior to their parent
so, i typically use SELF_FIRST, and then Jochem's example would become,
..
foreach(new RecursiveIteratorIterator($c,
RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST) as $item)
good catch, wasn't aware of the mode argument, I've only ever played with
it in terms of directory iteration (where LEAVES_ONLY makes sense in the common
use case)

Hi,
I guess the word "meaningless" depends on what you are trying to do.
So, I guess I have to describe what I'm trying to do. The problem is, I need
to pass a php object to javascript via json and then back to php again
using json. However, while doing that, I lose the type of the object
(because json_encode method or json_decode works independent from the
object's class). Thus, I somehow need to typecast. I thought I might hold
class name as a property of the object so it would be passed inside json,
but type casting would work if and only if I have class file of the object
included.
pass the class name as a property of the json encoded object and use an
autoloader (with properly defined include_path).
http://php.net/autoload
http://php.net/spl_autoload_register
if your developing a framework its hard to imagine your not using autoload in
some way already, but there you go.
In case I add a "getClassPath()" like variable to each php class, it would
be a great mess. Moreover, what I'm trying to do is developing a framework.
Thus, I don't want to force my users to alter their classes and their
behaviours.
This was my solution to keep the type persistent.
However, I would also thankfully appreciate if you have an idea to do that
in a better way.
thanks,
Ali.

In reply to Your message dated Sunday, September 7, 2008, 1:51:33,
I need a procedure or an implementation that gives path of the class
file
of
an object which I pass as a parameter.
Example;
Assume I have a class file located at C:\htdocs\Foo.class.php
In code after I include Foo.class.php;
<?php
$foo = new Foo();
Echo some_procedure($foo);
?>
I'm looking an implementation for that "some_procedure", which would
make
this program to print C:\htdocs\Foo.class.php .
I have been googling around and also checked php.net but I wasn't
able
to
find anything about this subject.
It would be really helpful if someone knows that kind of procedure or
at
least has an implementation of it.
The only way I know to do this would be to add a method to your class
to
give it to you.
class Foo
{
public function getClassFilename()
{
return __FILE__;
}
}
Hmm, that should do the trick. Thanks a lot!
But still, I wish there were a way of doing that, without altering
the
class behaviour.
(top posting fixed)
Ok, if you prefer backward solution - hook your own error-handler and cause
an
error in class, then you'll have path to it's file in backtrace.
I mean, knowing the filename of this or that function absolutely
meaningless,
unless you're running into problem of some sort.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, unless I have a common folder for my class
files, such as "/classes/", an autoloader has nothing to do with solving my
problem. I get the impression that there might not be another way of solving
the problem too, sadly. I need to force my users to put all their class
files in a single directory. And it's rather messy..

I really don't want to install a beta (though I did install Chrome, so
maybe that should be "an MS beta") but I am interested in how it
performs.

That's what God invented the virtual machine for. Load up Windows XP in
KVM, QEMU, VirtualBox, VMware or whatever takes your fancy, then plaster
it with IE8b2 and see what breaks.
I have to admit it's been sitting in a folder here waiting for just that
to happen for ... when was it released? Crikey, work can really get in
the way sometimes, eh? :)
(although I did find time to test Chrome in KVM - and I must say it is
fast, if not particularly useful yet)

No, I'm not. I didn't even know it was in Beta until this email.
I probably wont download it until final release. I'm not the biggest MS
fan, and pretty much the only reason I use IE is for cross-browser testing.

Hi,
Anyone know of a PHP based RSS to email gateway. What I'm looking to
do is have something running on my website that provides an interface
for specifying some feeds, and these are subsequently checked every
hour or so. If a new news item is found, it fires off an email to me.
Basically want this since I check my email often, but not so much my
RSS reader which is tucked away in IE7, which I don't use so much now
since I'm doing a lot of canvas stuff.
If no-one knows of one, presumably Magpie could be used to create one?
Thanks.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you use grab and parse the rss
feeds you want, store the titles in a database, with a column for
identifying if the e-mail has been sent? So every hour it checks your
feeds, grabs the new ones, checks to see if emailSent="1" if not pass
it to send_notification($email, $feedname, $feedtitle).
Or am I missing something? :)

Of course, (if ever I've had a "doh" moment I think now would be it).
Though I'll probably use a tmp file.

I've been working almost exclusively with databases lately so all my
solutions are including databases :)

Sounds like it is time for you to learn some modeling.
"Why?", you ask.
It is very simple; once a project is broken down into its component
parts it will be much easier for you to provide a time estimate for your
customer. Additionally, high level overviews (such as simple flow
charts) will give the customer something to sign-off on as it allows
them to visualize the project and make the needed changes before any
coding occurs.
"What tools do I use?", your curiosity increases.
Start simple. Open Office and Microsoft Excel have basic flowchart
shapes in their drawing tools. If you need to do some OOP modeling there
are several UML packages out there. There are several articles online
concerning UML.

Hello,
Do you know of any good ways to filter out javascript from html code?
I've seen this code
http://kallahar.com/smallprojects/php_xss_filter_function.php but I
found some old discussions about it saying that it wasn't really secure.
There most be some safe way to filter out xss without filtering out all
html. Or...?
Kind Regards Emil

IMHO, the obvious choice (for PHP) should be HTML Purifier by Edward Yang.

Dreamweaver? Eclipse? Pah, it's all about using a text editor! Kate (on
KDE) is my preference ;)
Heathen!
Dreamweaver is awesome. Not for their WYSIWYG editor, but for their
code-only view and its auto-complete.
Never have I typed so little to get so... little.

Can we see your parsing code, please?
BTW, are you parsing for <br> and <br />, because you have given both as
an example here.

How can I render my HTML properly. Please note that it happens in my cms.

The only concern I would have is that you are using a third party
software/applet to do these uploads. I'm not a fan of MAKING users have
a piece of software enabled to allow them basic web-standard
functionality on a site.
It is however, an interesting concept. It would really come in handy for
extremely large files.

Let's face it - HTTP is not very good for file uploads. It's stateless
nature, slow connections, inability to resume (technically), etc, etc.
What I've been thinking about is a way to skip all the normal
annoyances with file uploading - multipart form encodings, file upload
tools with specific needs, PUT vs POST, connection resets, ... the
list goes on and on.
Usenet and BitTorrent and other protocols have the right idea - split
up the workload into smaller sets of data. It's easier to operate on.
Usenet has NZB files. BitTorrent splits everything up into chunks. Not
only would it make working with the data more portable (no need to set
your PHP memory limit or POST limits to insane amounts to support
large files) but it could also support multiple segments of the file
being transferred at once...
Here's somewhat of a process braindump of what I'm thinking. It still
requires a 'smart' applet (Flash, Java, anything that can split a file
up and send data over HTTP/HTTPS) - no special socket needs, no PUT
support needed, don't even need to use multipart POST encoding (as far
as I know) - just send the data in chunks over the wire and have a PHP
script on the other side collect the data and reassemble it.
Does this sound insane? I think this is a pretty good approach - no
PUT needed, no large POST configuration required, anything could
upload to it as long as it sends the information properly (I'm
thinking HTTP POST for the header info, and the data could be sent as
another POST field maybe base64 encoded or something that will stay
safe during transit...)
- take input file, checksum it (md5 / sha1)
- calculate number of chunks to split it up based on $chunk configured
size (for example 128k chunks)
- split the file into chunks of $chunk size and create checksums for
all (could use sfv?)
- send request to the server - with the info - use JSON?
action=begin
filename=$filename
filesize=$filesize
checksum=$checksum
segments=list of segments (unique segment id, checksum, bytes)
- server sends back a "server ready" and unique $transaction_id
- start sending to the server, send header with transaction key and
unique chunk identifier in it
action=process
transaction=$transaction_id
segment=$unique_segment_id
data=base64_encode($segment_data)
- when done, server sends back $transaction_id, $segment_id, $status
(okay, fail)
- client compares checksum for identifier, if okay, move to next chunk
- if it does not match, retry uploading to server again
- when all chunks are done, send request with transaction key and
action=finish
transaction=$transaction_id
- when the server receives this, it assembles the file
from the segments and does a final checksum, and reports the checksum
back to the client (warning: on a large file this could take a bit?)
and sends back $transaction_id, $checksum
- client does one last check against the file's original checksum, if
it matches report success, otherwise report failure (would need to
determine why though - if all segments match this should not be able
to happen...)
I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts. This would also allow for file
upload progress, more or less, as the server and client are constantly
communicating when chunks are done and in progress (but again, that
has to be done with an applet)
I can't think of any method to do it in-browser, but doing it this way
could open the gates for things like Google Gears to possibly work
too...
