My initial thought was to go through the loop, sending an email to each person, but then I saw this somewhere: It is worth noting that the mail() function is not suitable for larger volumes of email in a loop. This function opens and closes an SMTP socket for each email... not very efficient. This is a myth. SMTP connections for queueing only happen with mail() under Windows. Under Unix/Linux you can always configure your local mailer, eventually in php.ini to just queue the message for later delivery. This is what is recommended for mass mailing with PHP mail function, unless your local mailer is qmail. In that case you do not need to configure anything because qmail never attempts to deliver message immediately. Does anybody know the best way of doing a mass mail through php? mail() function is just fine in most cases. Also, do you know how php mail() handles bounced emails? Ideally I'd like to either receive them or use a script to record then. It depends on your environment. For an OS independent solution, you may want to try this class that lets you specify the bounce address using the Return-Path header. Keep in mind that just specifying the Return-Path address to the mail() function does not do anything.

[PHP] [Newbie Guide] For the benefit of new members
=== This message is for the benefit of new subscribers and those new to PHP. Please feel free to add more points and send to the list. === 1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP try http://www.php.net/manual/en first. You can download a copy and use it offline also. Please also try http://www.php.net/manual/faq.php for answers to frequently answered questions about PHP (added by Christophe Chisogne). 2. Try http://www.google.com next. Searching for php YOUR QUERY may fetch you relevant information within the first 10 results. 3. There is a searchable archive of the mailing list discussion at http://phparch.com/mailinglists. Many of the common topics are discussed repeatedly, and you may get answer to your query from the earlier discussions. For example: One of the repeatedly discussed question in the list is Best PHP editor. Everyone has his/her favourite editor. You can get all the opinions by going through the list archives. If you want a chosen list try this link : http://phpeditors.linuxbackup.co.uk/ (contributed by Christophe Chisogne). 4. Not sure if PHP is working or you want find out what extensions are available to you? Just put the following code into a file with a .php extension and access it through your webserver: ?php phpinfo(); ? If PHP is installed you will see a page with a lot of information on it. If PHP is not installed (or not working correctly) your browser will try to download the file. (contributed by Teren and reworded by Chris W Parker) 5. If you are stuck with a script and do not understand what is wrong, instead of posting the whole script, try doing some research yourself. One useful trick is to print the variable/sql query using print or echo command and check whether you get what you expected. After diagnosing the problem, send the details of your efforts (following steps 1, 2 3) and ask for help. 6. PHP is a server side scripting language. Whatever processing PHP does takes place BEFORE the output reaches the client. Therefore, it is not possible to access users' computer related information (OS, screen size etc) using PHP. Nor can you modify any the user side settings. You need to go for JavaScript and ask the question in a JavaScript list. On the other hand, you can access the information that is SENT by the user's browser when a client requests a page from your server. You can find details about browser, OS etc as reported by this request. - contributed by Wouter van Vliet and reworded by Chris W Parker. 7. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid general subjects like Help!!, A Question etc. Especially avoid blank subjects. 8. When you want to start a new topic, open a new mail composer and enter the mailing list address [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of replying to an existing thread and replacing the subject and body with your message. 9. It's always a good idea to post back to the list once you've solved your problem. People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject line of their email when posting solutions. By posting your solution you're helping the next person with the same question. [contribued by Chris W Parker] 10. Ask smart questions http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html [contributed by Jay Blanchard) 11. Do not send your email to the list with attachments.

[PHP] Numeric Index of an array
How can I get the numeric Index of an array when the index is a string?
i.e
$myArray = array (first = my first value,
second = my second value,
third = my third value);
Lets say I want the Index of the my second one: this would be second
or numerid 1 (because the numeric index starts at zero).
How can I get the numeric index when I only have the string-index (so
array_keys is a nono) without making a loop like:
$i = 0;
foreach ($myArray as $index = $value)
{
if ($index == 'second')
{
echo $i;
}
$i++;
}
Is there another way to get the numeric index?
thanx,
Natascha

[PHP] Trouble setting include_path
Hi folks. I'm trying to use an .htaccess file to set my include path and for some reason it's not overriding the value in php.ini, but instead still shows and uses the original value from php.ini, not what is in the .htaccess file. I know that include_path is one of the values that can be set anywhere, so I'm confused as to why this is happening. I've placed the following .htaccess file in www.mysite.ca/test/: php_value include_path /home/pablo/foo And in www.mysite.ca/test/test.php I have one line: include_once 'foo.php'; which refers to the file /home/pablo/foo/foo.php However when I run test.php it does not include foo.php and the error message informs me that the include_path value being used is still the one from the php.ini file. Has anyone run into this before or got any idea why this is happening? Cheers and TIA. Pablo -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Most default apache configurations now a days dont have .htaccess enabled by default (for performance reasons.) Or some hosting services implicitly turn this option off. So no matter what you put in the .htaccess file, it will be ignored. You can test this by putting in your .htaccess file something like: bogus_statment if you reload your page on your server and dont get a 500 server error, apache isn't even looking at the .htaccess file. You can set set the include_path using the php function ini_set(). Another possibility is that the hosting company had issued an apache command: php_admin_value include_path /path/for/include Then you can't modify the include_path at all.

[PHP] Array Question

figure out how to distinguish the last item.
When displayed, the crumbs look like:

I would like ITEM to look differently. Can anyone tell me how to modify the
select ITEM?

$crumbs = array(
array( RANDOM, RANDOM_URL ),
array( ITEM, ITEM_URL )

Re: [PHP] Is Curl GZIP support broken?
php simply calls the libcurl function and returns what libcurl came back with. There might be problem with the curl.dll your using. The curl.dll i am using is packaged with the binary distribution of PHP (i'm on windows), so if there is a problem with it, there's a problem with the PHP distro. I filed a bug indicating this, but was marked as bogus. http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28168 You might want to try setting CURLOPT_ENCODING to 'defalate'. otherwise dont set any compression requests. This seems to work (slowly?) under test conditions. I'll keep you posted if it works when the 'cron' job is executed several hours from now.

[PHP] sessions failing to persist
As I posted last week, I seem unable to have sessions persist. I
have ruled out https as a problem, the following simple script,
installed as xxx.php will generate a new session number every time
the field is filled in and Submit is hit.
Note that I am not using cookies, the relevant session variables are:
Session Support enabled
session.auto_start On
session.use_cookies Off
session.use_trans_sidOn
When run, the session file appears to contain stage=1 but never is being
read.
I suspect I'm missing something obvious, any pointers?

Re: [PHP] sessions failing to persist
If the sample of code is the whole page... where do you actually start
your session?
I didn't see a session_start() anywhere.
AFAIK the $_SESSION var doesn't exist until you do just that.
session_is_registered(): mabe I'm reading the documentation wrong, but
I interpret this function as checking whether there is the global var
(in this case $stage) ... and since register_globals is off there
shouldn't be such a var automatically any more.

In the user comments there's a good example of how to handle sessions.
