[PHP-DB] mail() function
I can't get it to work. I get the echo to show up but never receive a email. if($blankpostage) { $to = "Rick Dahl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"; $subject = "Online B+P Request"; $body = "Show ID = " . $id; mail($to, $subject, $body); echo "sadflkjaflkasdj"; } What am I doing wrong? Rick
Re: [PHP-DB] mail() function
I think the fact that I don't have a mailserver would do it. Unless the PHP home edition 2 bundle has a mailserver, I don't have one. Where can I get one of those? Can I get it for free?

I think having a mailserver would be a tremendous help in sending mail :) If you're running on some Windows system you can try specifying the SMTP server provided by your ISP. Otherwise google is your friend. If you're running some *nix system then they usually come with the ubiquitous sendmail. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-db -- /* Let me put it this way: today is going to be a learning experience. */ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php _ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Having a member login is just checking the password against the database and starting a session for that person, right?

I need to redirect to another page once some scripts that I can't alter run. I have this function at the top of my page: How do I call the function? Rick
[PHP-DB] another redirecting question
The scripts I need to run before I redirect automatically send output to the browser. I cannot alter these scripts. Is there a way around this? Rick
[PHP-DB] to all the people that lended a hand
to all the people that tried to lend a hand. For some reason the javascripts didn't work. There wasn't a need to get as complicated as session variables. I ultimately figured out a way to do it by just moving { } around. Rick
[PHP-DB] formatting a timestamp
I want to print out a timestamp of length 14. I want to have it formatted like: mm-dd-yy : hh-mm I have looked but all I can find is how to format a date and I don't want that. I want the time also.

[PHP-DB] Altering a column in an existing table

[PHP-DB] Reading from a file
I need to read from a file that is tab delimited. Is there anyway to specify that it reads between each tab and that is it. I know fread() uses bytes to figure out what to read but that isn't very practical in my case. Also, how do I get rid of any white space at the end of a variable if there is some once it is read in? - Rick

[PHP-DB] Getting a date in number form
I need to get the month in a number format; July =7. Right now it is returning the string: July. This is what I am doing. $today = getdate(); $month = $today['month']; $mday = $today['mday']; $year = $today['year']; What can I do to get the number instead of the word? - Rick
[PHP-DB] Form Actions in PHP
I have a small problem. I need to have a form post to two different locations. If a variable is a certain value, it goes to location_one.cgi and if it is another value, it goes to location_two.cgi. This may turn out be a html problem but I figured php was the way to go since it is more dynamic. Any help is appreciated. - Rick
[PHP-DB] PHP and XML

[PHP-DB] PHP and XML Parsing
I have a piece of xml that has characters like & and other non-normal ones. When I use the $this->parser = xml_parser_create(); functions it doesn't read the entire character sting inside the . It stops at the &. If I take out the & it works perfectly. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Rick
Re: [PHP-DB] PHP and XML Parsing
Thanks...I used that idea and just did some replacing before and after the parsing. The database is maintained by our clients and it would be too confusing for them.

Re: [PHP-DB] using query_strings in sql
Looking at that. You are combining html and php without distinguishing between the two.
