Hi people
Is there a way that i can schedule tasks on my webserver that will

website?
In any case, yes but the method depends on whether it's a
POSIX-based system (*nix, Linux, MacOS, etc.) or Windows machine. On
the former, you'd use cron jobs, while on the latter, you'd use
scheduled tasks.

I was trying to write a script in PHP that takes a program name

PHP provides fork(pcntl_fork), setsid(posix_setsid) and umask,

However, I couldn't find a way to redirect STDERR a file.
I like to have the daemon write its log to its own logfile, like
apache and mysql do.
So is there any way to accomplish that?
Any pointers, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You can catch (almost) all the errors and send them wherever you want.
Or maybe you just want to write this as a shell script instead of
using PHP in the first place. :-)

[PHP] Effecient mass mailings
I a currently re-writing a web app from ASP to PHP and have come to the part where the app sends mass mailings to their customer base. This has always been problematic for them with the existing setup and I am looking for the best approach. While I've setup mailings with PHP, never such mass mailings. They will be using a web form to send sometimes 2-5MB attachments to thousands of customers to advertise new products with PDF's, etc. Using their Windows IIS SMTP virtual server smarthost function, I send their mail off-site to our postfix mail gateway, but it still bogs down and I'm sure a remote server is not the answer, but still better than the errors they receive trying to use localhost and IIS. Once the re-write, the app will be on to a Linux box where I can do some tweaking to these and hope localhost will work better for these mailings. Can someone give some pointers at how I may want to approach such mass mailings?

Re: [PHP] Effecient mass mailings
I've always personally hated receiving email with large attachments, preferring instead to get links to the content on the web. Plus, that cuts down on the bandwidth the server (as well as mailservers, gateways, et cetera) are responsible for handling, because the PDFs or other attachments would only be downloaded by those who really wanted to have them. However, I know nothing about the business model with which Robert is working, so it may be neither applicable or optional in his case. No it's another perfectly viable option. Click here to view a HTML version of this email links I would say no, but for files, then why not? Also prevents pissing off the user by not having to download the attachment if they're not interested in it (and assuming it will be base64 encoded as most attachments are, don't forget it will grow in size by a third). -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and Helpdesk software for £299 hosted for you - no installation, no maintenance, new features automatic and free -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

As the manager of the ISP department and owner of a few hosting servers of my own, this is my opinion of the problem and how I would solve the problems. If you were sending HTML formatted emails and included images for the layout, that would be fine. But a 2-5MB attachment? Why would want to send that as an attachment. Give them a link back to your website. If it is a private thing, make them log in. Why do you think the mail service is bogging down? Every email attachment that you send, unless it is plain text, gets converted to 7bit from 8bit. This will almost double the size of the attachment. Then, if you are sending multiple copies of this attachment, well, just think about the waisted CPU cycles. Get my point yet. Just create them a nice little email, and include a link that points to the document that would have otherwise been attached. It will cut down on waisted bandwidth. It will only get downloaded by the persons that actually want it.

I've always personally hated receiving email with large

mailservers, gateways, et cetera) are responsible for handling,

It comes with several delivery sub-classes, including one which knows how to drop messages in the Exchange pickup folder. Also, if your message bodies do not change for different recipients, this class provides smart body caching support, so it does not waste time regenerating the message body for every recipient.

Open the file you download with a text or hex editor.
Compare to the original.
If you can't spot the problem right off, download the original with
FTP and use diff to compare the two.
Or, if you don't have diff, upload the broken download with FTP and
use diff on the server.
If it's OK on the server, and not coming out OK in the download,
figure out what's different between the two.

I guess for most searches grep would narrow things down reasonably well before you have to start processing files in PHP. It would definitely only be useful for a small site (as you suggested). Identifying keywords wouldn't be all that difficult using the OP's method either. The script could easily count the number of occurrences of each word and create an index with the word, the URL, and the number of occurrences (even excluding a list of noise words if desired) without someone having to manually define a list of keywords. It could be run as often as needed to keep the index up-to-date.

if not. Something like
function set_var($var)
{
echo var = $var \n;
if (isset($_SESSION['$var']))
{
return $_SESSION['$var'];
}
else
{
return ;
}
}
And I would call the function with set_var($name) or set_var($phone).
The problem is getting the function to use $var as a variable name,
rather than a value. What am I missing, please?

[PHP] text messages
I know this isn't specific to php but I need to add some code to my php pages to start sending out text messages. If anyone does this, how do you do it? Do you simply use a free service like teleflip or do you use a paid aggregator company? Thanks!
[PHP] How to download a file (with browser) using fsockopen() ?
Hi I have been working on this download script for quite a while, and I just can't find how to download a remote file via a user's browser using fsockopen. Basically I am wondering if anyone can just give me a simple working example on how to use fsockopen() to fetch a file on a remote server, and then pop up a save dialog box in my browser. For example, let's say I want to download this file from here: http://remotedomain.com/file.zip Instead of putting this directly into my browser and then being prompted to save it to my pc, how can i use fsockopen() to fetch the file, and get the same prompt on my browser? E.g. I want to be able to do http://localhost/index.php?url=http://remotedomain.com/file.zip I know that this does not seem the most obvious and easy way to do it, but i simply cannot get a file to download myself using fsockopen. I specifically want this function, as I need to POST headers to the server and I haven't as yet been able to download a file using it, without it being corrupt, or the connection hanging. I just can't figure it out, and I'm getting a bit tired with it! I don't need a whole hand-made script, I just need the part where fsockopen will download this file. Perhaps a working function that would do it. Please try not to use classes or objects because I haven't quite figured out object-oriented programming yet!! Also, I would like if you can do it via HTTP 1.0 because I know HTTP 1.1 is tricky, and might require a chunk decoder, and i don't see the need for it, unless someone is able to provide a working chunked data decoder.

Re: [PHP] How to download a file (with browser) using fsockopen() ?
Try this, it should work.
//Get the file from the remote location
function getFile($host, $resource, $port)
{
??? $hdr = '';
??? $file_cont = '';
??? $fh = fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, 300);
???
??? if(! $fh)
??? {
??? ??? return error;
??? } else {
??? ??? $hdr .= GET /$resource HTTP/1.1 \r\n;
??? ??? $hdr .= Host: $host\r\n;
??? ??? $hdr .= Connection: close\r\n\r\n;
??? ??? fwrite($fh, $hdr);
??? ??? while(!feof($fh))
??? ??? {
??? ??? ??? $file_cont .= fgets($fh, 128);
??? ??? }
??? ??? //Return the file as a string
??? ??? return $file_cont;
??? }
}
//Set up essential headers
header(Content-Type: Application/GIF);
header(Content-Disposition: application/gif; filename=one.gif);
//Strip the text headers in the file and print it out.
print preg_replace(/^.*\r\n/m, , getFile(wisdomleaf.com,
images/logo.gif, 80));
Anyway, the core of the script is download the file as a string, print it out
as a string with suitable headers.
