When you have it all in one file, the first thing you do is check to see if
this request was submitted from the form. If not, you send the blank form. If
it was, you validate all of the data. When a validation fails, you add error
messages and resend the form with any fields that passed the validation already
filled in. When validation succeeds, process and move on. No muss, no fuss.

I think the main advantage is that if something goes wrong processing the
datas, you can show the form again without redirecting again.
And if you have to change the behavior of the page, you have to change only
one file instead of two.

Subject: [PHP] Self-Process php forms or not?
I'm trying to understand the advantages behind opting by using a
Self-Process PHP Form, instead of having a form and then point the action of
the form to another .php page.
Can anyone point me some resources about this. Why using one instead of
another. What are the main advantages?

This depends on how strictly you're following any given model like MVC. IMHO
you should use the right tool for the job.

Well, if you keen on separating business from presentation (which is usually
a good practice), you can always do this:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['action']))
{
if (DoProcess($_POST))
{
PrintSuccess();
}
else
{
PrintFailure();
PrintForm();
}
}
?>
So you can call in fact the processing page, the real presentation can be in
another PHP file, as well as the processing functions. Of course, instead of
PrintForm() you can actually implant the real HTML code.
And by the way, if you keep the form and the processing parts in one file,
and create the form like this:
<FORM action="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">
you can name your file as you want, it will work without rewriting the page.

I think the main advantage is that if something goes wrong processing
the
datas, you can show the form again without redirecting again.
And if you have to change the behavior of the page, you have to change
only
one file instead of two.

Having a script that is self executing - when it posts back to itself
instead of a separate script - has absolutely nothing to do with the
separation of business and presentation. It is possible for a single script
to use separate components for the presentation, business and data access
layers.

What you are describing is known as a "self executing" script where the
script posts back to itself. In other words it has two passes - the first
uses the GET method to build the screen for the user, which may or may not
be empty, while the second uses the POST method to send the user's changes
back to the server for validation and updating. By dealing with both the GET
and POST in a single script it means that you don't have to redirect to a
different script if you have to redisplay the data because of invalid use
input.

The way I read it, the return-path field is used to indicate a gateway
where the message entered the current email network. So a bounced
message has to be returned to that gateway to get back to the network
from whence it came. This is useful where traffic passes into an SMTP
network from a network with an older routing mechanism, or vice versa.
The intent is to return the bounce to the Sender or From address, in
that order.
But, since the RFC specifically says the field is reserved for use by
the MTAs, it is not proper behavior for an email client to add it to the
header.
Reply-to is a specific instruction to the recipients client software to
insert this address as To when a reply is composed. It is ignored by the
MTA.
If you don't want bounces to go to the From address, use Sender. It was
intended for mailing lists and administrative assistants to send mail on
behalf of someone else without having to forge their From address. It's
also useful when you have a web site running on a commercial server farm
outside your domain that has to send mail that acts like it came from
inside that domain. Many border filters will block mail when the From
line says it came from within their domain. So the From address can be
the web server (it doesn't even have to be a valid address) while Sender
indicates the address in the domain where any bounces need to be sent.

Exactly. I expected to get all instances of Johnson or of John but I got
only 1 and I saw that there were others, so that didn't seem right.
And, if I may point out, the instructions are not available if js is not
enabled O:-) so that leaves only intuition to decipher things
especially if you only want to do a search.
BTW - I seem to have solved the problem of filtering the inputs. Was
rather simple: just use one form for each search.
And to avoid using @ for the error of $_POST['select'] one just has to
declare one just has to declare
$_POST['submit'] = ""; at top of script. :-) (I'm learning, I'm
learning) - now I have to check it all out.

There are definitely other ways to make the communication secure,
whether you route it through an local subnet, configure a totally
private network using secondary NICs, encrypt the connection, host
both on the same machine and use a local loopback address, etc. If
you've done one or more of these things to secure the pathway between
the web server and the database, and if you know that no one is going
to come behind you and reconfigure things, then you can probably rest
fairly comfortably passing unhashed/unencrypted values to MySQL all
you want.
I only made the suggestion as a matter of defensive programming, since
not everyone developing with PHP knows and/or has control over how PHP
and MySQL communicate. For many sites, a developer writing an app has
no idea whether the web server and database are on the same physical
machine, let alone how the two services communicate. What's more, in
some of these environments, what is true today could change tomorrow.
(The issue of query logs is another good point, too.) All I'm saying
is if you hash/encrypt the value in PHP rather than passing it off to
MySQL in open text, you don't have to worry about whether the
connection is (or becomes) sniffable.
For that matter if you're going to bring up performance, I know many
DBAs who would argue this as performance issue as well.

When you've donated enough time helping others on this list, then perhaps

Sorry, but that's a bad attitude in my opinion. It's like "No matter
how right or wrong you are, I will not listen to you unless you've
kissed Johns feet 10 times, like I did."
Nonsense. It not about who kisses who's feet and you know it. You're
deliberately clouding the issue in a failed attempt to support your
position that signatures should of any length. That's bullshit.
My point is that many of us donate our time on a regular basis to
this list to help others. And those regulars I consider friends. As
such their comments and opinions matter.
Whereas, your opinion doesn't matter much because you haven't
contributed anything I can remember other than a "superior than thou"
attitude about my comments that a poster should trim his signature,
which is considered normal and proper for posting to a list.
It's not hard to find support for my claim, such as:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette
So please, if your going to do nothing but be argumentative and
present obtuse opinion to boost your ego, then find something else to
do with your time. As far as I can see, you are wasting it here.

Hi Guys,
I have created few chats in the past, but I'm trying to create a new one
which saves on HTTP requests and do not become an overkill to the server
as
more users get in.
The chat is a one on one, I'm trying to achieve this:
* A user sends a message
* The message is not saved/save temporarily on the server
* The message is showed to the other user
Any ideas how i should implement this?
I have no idea how to build it in the most efficiency way, any notes or
recommendations or
anything that I should pay attention to during development will be very
appreciated.

Array ( [0] => John [1] => Jill [2] => "Judy [3] => Smith" )

Array ( [0] => John [1] => Jill [2] => "Judy Smith" )

You could try it with regular expression matching..
for example:
<?php
preg_match_all('/([a-z]+|"[a-z ]+")/i', $searchstring, $resultarray);
?>

Thanks. That seems to create 2 duplicate arrays, though. Can it be
narrowed down to just array [0]?
preg_match_all('/([a-z]+|"[a-z ]+")/i', $_POST["terms"], $termsarray);
echo $_POST["terms"]."<br>";
print_r($termsarray);
displays:
John Jill "Judy Smith"
Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => John [1] => Jill [2] => "Judy Smith" ) [1]
=> Array ( [0] => John [1] => Jill [2] => "Judy Smith" ) )

Yes, preg_match_all returns all matches and the subpattern matches
(the "stuff" inside the brakes)
You can ommit stop it by using (?:) instead of ()..
So: preg_match_all('/(?:[a-z]+|"[a-z ]+")/i', $_POST["terms"], $termsarray)
You might want to check out the regular expression manuals on
http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.pcre.php

Thanks, you've been a big help, that works great!

Hey all,
Anyone have any experience with Expression Engine? I have a
new client that wants me to use it to build a site and I must
say I am rather underwhelmed.
But I happen to be one of those people that believe in
developing your own lightweight framework you know yourself
inside and out and building upon that for new sites.
I find the learning curve, combined with inherent limitations
of systems like this to take all the fun out of coding and
project development... and make me want to become an insurance
salesman.
Thoughts on Expression Engine for those of you with exposure
to it?
Thanks,
Skip

I remember looking at it some time and the licensing seems restrictive
to what I wanted to do. I have at this point settled on using
codeigniter and ezcompoments has some cool stuff as well

What have you coded? How about a chat app? How about a simple db based
version control system?

I'm currently writing an in-house PHP helpdesk ticket system. I looked
at all the open source ones i could find in a google search and they
didn't do what I need (some had few features, others didn't support
authentication against external sources (ldap, imap, etc)). the
commercial ones seemed like they'd do what I want, but the budget is
tight with my employer currently.

Frankly, I don't know what to look for or why something so weird would
happen:
I have pagination set up and the number for pages "next" has a link but
the "next" does not. I have experimented with all sorts of
configurations of the code but the only thing that works (and this is
totally "off the wall") is to do this
$Count = mysql_num_rows($results);
$Count1=$Count++; // without this, the "next" does not do the link---
but there is no other $Count1 in the code either in the original page or
the include page.
And this phenomenon was apparent in a similar page.
I'd be curious to understand how this could happen. I could post the
whole code, but that would be some 300 lines...

How do I specify an actual SMTP server? (Like mail.host.com)
This is what I have so far:
mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers);
I was to http://ca2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php and saw this
syntax:
mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string
$additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )
