[PHP] imap_set_quota function
an excerpt from php man pages says that:
"This function requires the imap_stream to have been opened as the mail
administrator account. It will not work if opened as any other user.
...
...
$mbox = imap_open ("{your.imap.host:143}", "mailadmin", "password");
"
my question is, where do i set this admin called 'mailadmin' with password
'password'. do i set it in courier/uw for example?

Re: [PHP] New way to make select boxes auto select
i used the same techniqu a while back when i worked with Fast Template.
scenario:
- present a user with a form to input
- there are several text fields and several select options
- if there is/are error(s) upon form submission, we will call the same template
file and insert proper error messages at appropriate places, normally close to
the input field.
- we would also luv to make the select option field to DEFAULT to the PREVIOUS
value that WAS selected.
with the technique that Nathan describe below, you can do just that.
At present i have dropped this technique as I have switched to Smarty. Smarty
can do all this with its {html_optios blah blah blah}.
Recently I made frequent use of Webreference javascript to make select boxes
that are related to each other. ie changing(selecting) a left select box would
make a right select box change accordingly. I am trying to apply Smarty to this
but my javascript knowledge is too shallow. after submitting a form with
errors, the 2 select boxes will default back when the script starts. which is
NOT what i want. if nebody have done this, appreciate your help.

Re: [PHP] getting rid of NOTICE
I dont know how to explain this but when you work with an ldap attribute, they are
case sensitive. jpegPhoto was what the schema was written with.
However when you retrieve that into PHP, you accessed them with all lower case. So
accessing userPassword attribute in ldap will become userpassword in PHP.
Just to satisfy your curiosity, I have changed that to your advise with running the
script produces identical result.

We are going to expect something new this weekend ...

--- end of XML ---
For the sake of testing, my script only print out the url-link to those news
above. I got these:
f=1
http://feeds.example.com/news/world/quake.html
cat=somecat
The output for line 1 is truncated to 'f=1' and the output of line 3 is
truncated to 'cat=somecat'. ie, the script only took the last parameter of the
url-link. The output for line 2 is correct since it has NO parameters.
I am not sure what I have done wrong in my script. Is it bcos the RSS spec says
that you cannot have parameters in URL ? Please advise.
-- start of script --
$TITLE";
print "$URL"."";
break;
}
$currentTag = "";
}
function characterData($parser, $data) {
global $currentTag, $TITLE, $URL, $start;
switch ($currentTag) {
case "ITEM":
$start = 1;
case "TITLE":
$TITLE = $data;
break;
case "LINK":
$URL = $data;
break;
}
}
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterData");
if (!($fp = fopen($file, "r"))) {
die("Cannot locate XML data file: $file");
}
while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)) {
if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))) {
die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),

[PHP] What is you IP ?
I want to filter IP addresses. I noticed that my script catches IP addresses that looks like they came from the internal LAN, ie 192.x.x.x and 10.x.x.x My script catched those IPs by $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']. Am I not being able to catch IPs from transparent proxies that a user's ISP might use? Would $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] be better ? Reasons ?

[PHP] Reservation technique
I would like to do some sort of facilities reservation system. Suppose this is for booking , say, a meeting room. Booking detail to be stored in db: - name or id of person - meeting room number - date and time (when room will be used) - number of hours to be allocated Now say Peter booked room R1 for 20th Nov starting from 9am to 12pm. Then Mary try to book the same room on the same date beginning 10am for 4 hours. How will a PHP script perform such checking to prevent that sort of overlapping in reservation ?

RE: [PHP] Reservation technique
Yes. I flipped thru the manpages and found: expr BETWEEN min AND max If expr is greater than or equal to min and expr is less than or equal to max, BETWEEN returns 1, otherwise it returns 0. This is equivalent to the expression (min <= expr AND expr <= max) if all the arguments are of the same type.

[PHP] stripping negative number
I want to convert negative number to its positive equivalent.
$num = -40;
printf("Unsigned value is %u", $num);
output is: Unsigned value is 4294967256
I have checked the manpages and %u seems the right format. Pls advise.

[PHP] running number
I am required to write a user registration script that captures the basics like name, phone number etc etc. I would also have to write to mySQL database a number that is associated with that user. At this point of writing, the start of that number is unknown. But the number will be incremented by 1 after each successfull registration. Let's say the number starts from 12345. I am quite new at all these stuff and would like to seek your advise on the *recommended way* of achieving this. I am thinking along these lines: a) store that number (12345) in a table b) a user registers and assign that number to him c) increment number to 12346 d) process repeats for the next registration Concern: How do tell mySQL to lock the 'number' table when a new registration process is about to take place. Is locking the best option here or is/are there better ways?

Re: [PHP] Re: run remote shell script
OK. I am able to setup remote key authentication between svrA and svrB. From
svrA I can login to svrB with something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] www]$ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and I can also execute a shell script like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] www]$ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp/test.sh
On svrA I have a PHP script like so:
/tmp/test.sh on svrB is only a one liner like so:
mkdir /tmp/$1
I ran the script from the browser but the /tmp/someDIR is not created :(
Could it be that user nobody on svrA is *not* allowed to connect to svrB
because the public key belongs to user www ? How do I rectify this ?
In the actual situation, I need to execute a shell script in svrB (from browser
served by Apache on svrA) that only root can run. Please advise. I am getting
very worried.

www is a Limux system user on both svrA and svrB.
On svrA, Apache runs as user nobody. I mean, this is the httpd user, where we
defined it in httpd.conf:
User nobody
Group nobody
My bad, I shud have use roger instead of www.

In my case, user nobody (that Apache runs as in svrA), does not have a true
shell setup. How do I create a private/public key for user nobody when I can't
even login as user nobody (as it does not have a true shell) ?
What's my option ?

Sorry for the confusion.

Yes, I did that. I logged in as user www in svrA and executed ssh-keygen -t
rsa. I then copied id_rsa.pub to svrB and called it
/home/www/.ssh/authorized_keys. As noted, user www are system users in svrA and
svrB.

I mean, I want to execute a command in svrB where only root can do so. Like
'shutdown' or something else.
Appreciate your advise. TIA

[PHP] Send postcard link
On server-1 I have my photogallery working. On another box, server-2, I have my postcard script also working great. Users can send postcards using ready inhouse designs or upload their own (max 100K). Both have been serving our community for the past 2 years or so. Current requirement: When I browsed my photogallery, I would like to have a button that says 'Send this picture as postcard'. Behind the scenes, how do I send that picture to server-2 postcard script? Please advise. -- Roger --- Sign Up for free Email at http://ureg.home.net.my/ --- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
