Chill out, or you'll see no help, OK?
If for whatever reason you don't get that unsibscribe email, you need to
contact the people who run this list:
<php-general-owner at lists dot php dot net>
But use that as a /last/ resort. Try the unsubscribe page on the PHP website
first:
<http://www.php.net/unsub.php>
Coming on this list and swearing at everyone won't get you anywhere.

The unsubscribe process requires you to reply to the eMail that is sent.
THAT email is bounced for many people who are trying to unsubscribe.
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER AND FIX THE SYSTEM SO THAT WE
C*A*N* UNSBSCRIBE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just unsubscribed and re-subscribed, no problems at all.

that sounds like a problem on the end of the person trying to
unsubscribe and not the server.
WHY?
I am hitting reply, and EVERY php list sends a message back bouncing the
unsubscribe message ( along with every post I have tried to make since
XMAS - which is why I am having to use the newsgroup interface )
This only happens on list.php.net, I have no problem with any other
developer list I am moderator of or involved with !

Seeing that the unsubscribe works for the vast majority, one would guess
that the problem isn't on the list server end.

I think you're just getting an autoresponder, but not from the list. Same as
every time anyone posts we get those messages from "Information Desk",
"Advance Credit Suisse Bank", pair-something, etc...

Have a look at the headers of this message. You'll see (or should see) a
Return-path: header. Like this:
Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
You see this bit: elfyn=emcb.co.uk? That's the email address I subscribed
with, and is the address I have to use to unsubscribe. Make sure that you
use the correct address to 'try' and unsubscribe or, yes, ezmlm will ignore
you.

i don't see how if every message you send gets bounced it's still coming
through to me. if it gets bounced shouldn't it *not* make it through to
the list? what am i missing here?
> I am not the only person who has been having problems getting email

what do you mean "email responses"? it appears that you are getting
"email respones" since you're replying to an email on this list... ...

One important detail I missed is that you replace the '=' with an '@' to get
the email address..

I have just posted a couple of replies via eMail, and tried another

The last parameter of mail() allows you to specify additional headers.Use it
to set a From header.
$headers = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";

I found an excellent book Visual QuickStart Guide (Second edition) "PHP for the
World Wide Web" by Larry Ullman to be excellent. Starts from the a basics in a
well written manner, common to all PeachPit books, I've ever read.

That's also known as "breaking the back button", but is the only way to do it
in PHP. A better way to redirect someone (and keep the back busson working)
is to use the meta html tag.

I'm not sure what you mean by breaking the back button. I think you're
talking about when you click back and are immediately forwarded again,
which is annoying for users. This is typically the case of a Refresh
(whether HTTP header or http-equiv meta tag) set with a 0 second delay.
So, I think you've got it backward, because the Location header does not
have this problem, since the redirect is transparent to the history
mechanism.
Also, when you're using PHP, it is rare that it is going to be better to
use a meta tag to emulate an HTTP header. PHP has the header() function,
and it can set real headers.
Hope that helps.

I had this happen a year ago on a Wolf Conservation List that I belong too,
I contacted the email administrator and they checked the database and I was
in there twice. Some how (through no fault of my own, cuz I'm perfect) I got
entered into the database twice. I unsubscribed and resubscribed and that
fixed it. SO, worth a shot. worst that can happen is you miss a couple of
emails and have to check the archives. Heaven forbid we do that though. Cuz
that'd be like, ummm, following the rules of Newbie Law. Or so it's wrote.
(enter more ramble cuz it's 12:00midnight and I have nothing better to do)::
exit looney!
Wolf. :)

I'd love to see that larger function, if you care to share.
[/snip]
Here is a little more of the larger function with comments (more
comments than code, which is never a Bad Thing [tm]). I am only showing
the handling for two basic types of telephone numbers with explanation
for additional verification which we would typically use, since we have
those resources available.
<?php
/*
** Dashing Through The TN's
** addTNDashes.func
**
*/
function addTNDashes($originalTN){
/*
** get the length of the number passed
** you could also make sure that the string is numeric here
** and throw an appropriate error if not
*/
$lengthTN = strlen($originalTN);
/*
** in this example we are going to examine two basic types of
** phone numbers, the seven digit and the ten digit
** you can add other conditions for other standard formats of
** world wide TNs
*/
if(7 == $lengthTN){
/*
** here we dash our seven digit number
** we could also validate the first three numbers as
** a valid NXX (exchange) if we had a list or DB of NXXs
*/
$newTN = substr($originalTN, 0, 3) . "-" .
substr($originalTN, 3, 4);
} elseif(10 == $lengthTN){
/*
** here we dash our ten digit number
** we could also validate the first three numbers as
** a valid NPA (area code) if we had a list or DB of
NPAs
*/
$newTN = substr($originalTN, 0, 3) . "-" .
substr($originalTN, 3, 3) . "-" . substr($originalTN, 6, 4);
} elseif(7 < $lengthTN){
/*
** the number is way too short to be a phone number
** let's throw an error and exit
** don't forget to set up some sort of error-logging for
this kind
** of thing for all of your errors
*/
echo "The number you have supplied to the application
does not appear to be\n";
echo "the correct format for any known telephone number.
Please correct this\n";
echo "and restart application.\n";
$appLog = fopen("application_error.log", "a");
/* do error logging as you wish, dates, times, user ids,
etc */
fclose($appLog);
exit();
}
return $newTN;
}
?>

Trying to figure out which would provide more choices or controls... See, I
usually compile PHP with those prefix options to allow it to take in cURL,
mCrypt, OpenSSL, etc... Later, if I need to add something then I can redo
the PHP configuration with additional prefix and recompile PHP. All of this
before compiling Apache. People have been bugging me to use the RPM for
Linux instead. I hestiate on it because my understanding of RPM is that it
is a compiled program that is then packaged up into RPM. Well correct me if
I'm wrong. I never done the RPM before and I hestiate on it because what if
it doesn't include the cURL support or mCrypt support or OpenSSL support?
What if I need to add something to PHP, would it work by redoing something
to the PHP RPM? I want to hear your knowledge, opinion and advice on this.
Thanks,

Hi there,
I run PHP as CGI (because of suEXEC), but some configuration must be wrong.
I just tried out to reload a PHP generated website about 20 or 30 times in
my browser, and this really bogged down the server, I had a load of about 20
or 30.
Is there anything I can do to limit this risk? I already fiddled around with
some configuration variables, but it didn't help. It always created a whole
lot of CGI childs that used up all memory...
I run Apache 2.0 on Linux 2.4.
Thanks!
Florian

Setup:
2 servers, one with PHP 4.1.2 and no MySQL installed, the other has MySQL
and PHP 4.1.2
Problem:
I am attempting to connect to the MySQL server from the server without
MySQL, but I get the error that shows in the subject.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in
/folder/index.php on line 11
I was told that maybe the extension for MySQL was not setup in PHP. I
thought that maybe it was just because MySQL wasnt installed on the system I
am working on, but it makes sense that I am not trying to access a database
on the system I am working from, but trying to access one on a different
server all together.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Tim

I think the error message tells it all - there is no mysql support in the
php you are using. You'll need to recompile with php support, or load a
mysql extension library.
Cheers
