[PHP-DB] mail() function

[Rick Dahl]

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?

Re: [PHP-DB] mail() function

[Rick Dahl]

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?

Re: [PHP-DB] mail() function

[Rick Dahl]

Is the the type of thing I would need?

http://www.postcastserver.com/

I found where I am supposed to alter the PHP.ini file.  What am I supposed 
to type instead of 'localhost'

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.

[PHP-DB] Member login

[Rick Dahl]

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

[PHP-DB] redirecting to a page

[Rick Dahl]

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

[Rick Dahl]

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?

[PHP-DB] to all the people that lended a hand

[Rick Dahl]

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.

[PHP-DB] formatting a timestamp

[Rick Dahl]

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

[Rick Dahl]

I have a column (ID) that is currently not auto_incremental.  I need to change it so 
that it is auto_incremental.  There are already records in this column.  also, I need 
to change the field type from int(4) to int(8).

[PHP-DB] Reading from a file

[Rick Dahl]

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?

[PHP-DB] Getting a date in number form

[Rick Dahl]

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?

[PHP-DB] Form Actions in PHP

[Rick Dahl]

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.

[PHP-DB] PHP and XML Parsing

[Rick Dahl]

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

[Rick Dahl]

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.  Thanks

Re: [PHP-DB] using query_strings in sql

[Rick Dahl]

Looking at that.  You are combining html and php without distinguishing
between the two.  I am assuming you are in "php mode" because html wouldn't
give you errors.  try this:

echo "";
