[PHP-DB] Keeping the mailing list sain
Hi guys, So that I don't drive members of the mailing list insane: In Outlook XP (2002), I want to enable the "Out of office" feature; what I don't want to do is have it reply to every message posted to the PHP mailing list. Does anyone know how to create a rule, to do this? I really don't want to unsubscribe & subscribe to the list every time I go out of the office...

That's because you're displaying how many "rows" were returned from the
query, not the value that COUNT() returns. A query with COUNT() is
always going to return at least one row.
$visitcount = mysql_result($query,0);

I think that there is one visitdate (NULL), so one row is returned. HTH, Tobey Wheelock -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Robin,
That's a huge option list. Just from the point of view of the user it is
too large. Is there any way you can pare it down?
MySQL will select those records really quickly, but then the HTML has to be
generated and the broser has to render the list. Try and rethink this if
you can.

[PHP-DB] COUNT() returns 1, but should be 0
Hi all,
I'm baffled by this. I've put together a rather simple newsletter +
greeting card app for a company to send their clients personalized
corporate e-mails each containing the URL link to the greeting card page.
When the user successfully visits the view card page, my code writes the
visit date to the cardlist db (MySQL). One of the admin pages
(check_visits.php) lets the admin view a table listing of all the user
names, email addresses, card sent date and card seen date. Above this table
I display the total number of users and the total number of visits.
Presently, the table has only 160 records. No cards have been sent yet and
thus no visits, but I get a count of 1 for the number of visits
($visitcount) using my following code. It should be 0. The number of users
($usercount) is returned correctly at 160.
Any ideas/advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Lew

You're building a select list of 2500 elements? No wonder it's slow.
That must be generating a few hundred KB's worth of HTML on its own,
let alone anything else on the page.
If you're not using all 2500 rows, you need to optimise your query to
reflect this.

Just as PHP has PEAR (I think; I'm still getting to know it), perl has CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. One advantage of perl's maturity is an almost ridiculously vast wealth of contributed modules; if you want to do it, someone has almost certainly already written a module for it. [This is already on the way for PHP and PEAR; in just a few years I, too, predict that PHP will be hugely popular.] The one used here is Mail::DeliveryStatus::BounceParser. This solution has two significant limitations: 1) Many bounces will not be returned as delivery status messages 2) Many users may be register with e-mail addresses which are just forwarding addresses, so the address returned by the report specifies the final address and not the actual address of subscription. A more useful solution is one based on setting the return path address of the message being sent in such a way that you can retrieve the original recipient address from the bounced message recipient address.

Any time you put 2500 elements into a SELECT box, it's going to be slow.
The browser is going to take a noticable time rendering that box.
Are you actually building the list up in a variable before
displaying it or just echoing it outright? Building the whole thing up
into a variable will take longer than just echoing it directly to the
browser.
Other than that, if you're not willing to change your UI so you don't
have a 2500 element select box, there's not much you can do.
