[PHP] configuring headers in mail() ...

[Maxim Maletsky]

Hello Guys,
to be short:
 
1. what I'm doing:
 
I need to send some email recipients of which are some users from a
database. (this part perfectly works)
What I care about is that when they receive the email they see 'J-Door
Newsletter' in their from field, not our email address (
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'  )
 
3. how I'm doing it:
below is the PHP code followed by what message header looks like on received
email.
 
 

  $from = '"' . $POSTED['from_name'] . '" <' . $POSTED['from_email'] . '>';
 
   mail( $rec['email'],
stripslashes($POSTED['subject']),
stripslashes(str_replace('%name%', $rec['name'], $POSTED['body'])),
"FROM: $from
\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=$encode
\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit"
   );

It all looks alright to me, however in from field of my email client I still
see ' [EMAIL PROTECTED]'   instead of
'J-Door Newsletter' ,
 
What am doing wrong?

This is a good solution for something this simple.  [to original poster:] If
you're comfortable jumping into learning OOP (object oriented programming)
you can use classes.  There are plenty of good tutorials on classes (b/w
phpbuilder.com, devshed and zend you should be set).  Classes have a lot of
benefits which I won't go into, but one benefit is that it easy to use
related functions seamlessly and it's easy to create variables which are
accessible by all functions within the class (a class is essentially a
collection of functions that can talk with one another).

To actually read from the message piped to the PHP script, you'll need to
use the following to read from STDIN:

fopen( 'php://stdin', 'r' );

The above isn't widely documented, but it works.  With all this said, if the
original poster simply wants to let a web-based user know that there is a
new message in the user's email box, a better strategy may be to store all
of the messages in a database like MySQL and compare the timestamp on the
most recent message to the timestamp in a session variable from the previous
page access.  It wasn't clear what the poster was attempting, but with some
more details someone (maybe me) could provide a good solution.  Also, PHP
has functions for accessing IMAP accounts which could prove useful.

> Sorry I don't know how to make sendmail do it, only that you can.

Using sendmail you add an alias to pipe incoming email to a program (your
PHP script).  You may also need to create a symbolic link in a directory
utilized by smrsh (sendmail restricted shell) to allow sendmail to execute
your script (this is done for security reasons).  "man smrsh" for details.

There is a nice program called procmail, which may already be on your 
system. Alternatively, under sendmail you can use entries in /etc/aliases 
to play around with redirecting emails.

Re: [PHP] Automatic incoming mail notification

[Josh G]

Depends on your mailserver. Most mail servers can redirect incoming
mail to a program, I know sendmail can. In your case just make the first
line of your script #!/path/to/php/bin/php and that should do the trick.

Sorry I don't know how to make sendmail do it, only that you can.
Check the man pages tho, shouldn't be too hard.

Hello All!

Sorry for this off-topic posting but this is extremely important for me.

I need a php script to be called each time my email mailbox recieves a new
email message. One way is to have a cron job running and get the php script
to check my mailbox every few minutes to see if there are any new emails and
do the needfull if there is one.

But I guess that there should be a way for the mail server to initiate some
action based on the reciept of a new mail in a particular mailbox. I don't
think trhat sites like Yahoo and Hotmail use cron jobs to sense new emails
in a user's mailbox. Another possibility might be that the checking is being
done every few minutes by the client application.

if anyone has any idea about the methodology being followed by Yahoo and
Hotmail, please be kind enough to pass it on. If anyone is aware of a mail
server otr a mailserver addin which would enable automatic notification and
initiaition of script on the reciept of a new email, please pass the info

[PHP] Automatic incoming mail notification

[Ankur Verma]

Hello All!

Sorry for this off-topic posting but this is extremely important for me. 

I need a php script to be called each time my email mailbox recieves a new email 
message. One way is to have a cron job running and get the php script to check my 
mailbox every few minutes to see if there are any new emails and do the needfull if 
there is one.

But I guess that there should be a way for the mail server to initiate some action 
based on the reciept of a new mail in a particular mailbox. I don't think trhat sites 
like Yahoo and Hotmail use cron jobs to sense new emails in a user's mailbox. Another 
possibility might be that the checking is being done every few minutes by the client 
application.

if anyone has any idea about the methodology being followed by Yahoo and Hotmail, 
please be kind enough to pass it on. If anyone is aware of a mail server otr a 
mailserver addin which would enable automatic notification and initiaition of script

Re: [PHP] 404 error checker

[Louis LeBlanc]

You may be getting emails, but for some reason, when I try the links
provided as a demo:

BAD LINK--
http://www.social-ecology.org/new/indexbog.html


PAGE WITH BAD LINK--
http://www.social-ecology.org/indexbogus.html

My browser pops up the save as dialog.  I do have javascript enabled, so
I don't understand it.

I have been working on a similar 404 - actually just trying to modify
the one at phpbuilder.com to work with my system (PHP mail() won't work
because user nobody does not have permissions to execute the deliver
daemon in the Cyrus Imap server).

Are you seeing the page itself?  I can't bring it up.

[PHP] OT mod_rewrite says goodbye to POST vars (but interesting)

[Matt Friedman]

Well, not being able to find much help on mod_rewrite, I hoped some guru
here might be able to help me.

I'm using mod rewrite to do a pretty simple redirect (or rewrite that it) to
a php page that parses the original url and allows for the output of all
sorts of content.

Works great apart from the fact that the POST vars are lost along the way.
And I believe the cookie vars too, but get seems to be ok.

So, does anyone know how to do url redirection or rewriting or whatever that
allows the post vars to be maintained? Please don't refer me to tim's
article on phpbuilder on the subject as I've read every word twice and all
the annotations to no avail.

Many thanks as always.

Re: [PHP] neat html output

You can also use tabs (\t).

This is an example using tabs and newlines:
echo "\n\n\tHello There\n\tHow are
you\n";

Note: You must use quotes because ticks don't work.

Seems to me that most languages can be considered "lightweight" in some
respects. After all, couldn't C be considered lightweight compared with
machine code?

And then, most languages are written in something else (something
heavier?): if I remember correctly, Squeak is about the only thing that
really eats its own dog food. And, from what I remember, such recursion
wasn't straightforward!

It's really a silly discussion. PHP does what it does exceptionally
well. You'd be barking mad to write an operating system in it, but you'd
be equally crazy to write a C application to do what a shell script does
or to use Java to run a regex on a text file. 

The reason, I think, that there are so many languages out there is that
each has its advantages when used in a particular context. It may be
able to work out of context, but the overheads in development and/or
compilation or run time build up.

Stay clear of any version built specifically for 586 machines. This
certainly means Mandrake, but may include late versions of other
distributions, so check with their home site.

But I'm unsure of what you "really" intend using this machine for. Do
you really want a home network (in which case conventional wisdom
suggests that the server should be the most powerful box on site) or
just something to run php or CGI scripts on with Apache or whatever?

If you can get back with details of what you want to do with that little
old box (and what other machines and Operating Systems you have) I can
maybe be of more help. Personally, I like SuSE.

Re: [PHP] Pricing for PHP programming???

[Josh G]

It comes down to one simple thing:
You cannot know how much a project is worth to a client. If they're
willing to pay you $5000, it's worth $5000, wether you think it's worth
$500 or $5. If I buy a pack of basketball cards for $2 that has
ten cards in it, then they're worth 20c each. If suddenly some
collecter says "ohmigod you have a jordan rookie card in there, i'll
give you $3000", it's now worth $3000, because that's what
he is willing to part with to own it.

In short, any skill, service, or product, is "worth" the amount of money
you can exchange it for" this is how the stock market works
(sometimes), it's how just about everything works. If they're willing
to pay it, you should charge it. They can go somewhere else, noone
is holding a gun to their heads.

Everything is a game. You want the most money possible for it, they
want it for the least amount of money, you compromise on something
you can both live with, or you don't do business, and next job, you
have to start over.

Some people won't look at you if you charge less than $150/hr, some
people won't look at you if you chargre more than 40 it's just the
way it is.

There's no magic answer.  And no offense, but if you categorize building
business solutions delivered via the internet as "writing PHP" then your
services probably shouldn't be priced at the higher end of the spectrum.
There are so many factors - size of project, complexity, reusability of
project components, turnaround time, your reputation, your speed, geography,
etc.  And there are many ways to price a project.  We use a combination of
flat rate pricing, estimates with a cap, hourly rates, retainer arrangements
and some more creative terms depending on another long list of factors.

As a PHP programmer and COO of a development and consulting shop, the
emphasis on hourly rate is something that really amazes me.  Not all
programmers are created equal.  A lot of clients don't recognize that.  Some
mistakenly believe that a $120/hr. programmer is 20% more productive than a
$100/hr. programmer.  Yet others think that a $200/hr. programmer must be
twice as good as a $100/hr. programmer.  I find that there is *no*
correlation between hourly rate and the quality, productivity and value of a
programmer.  Sure, in other non_knowledge_based occupations, there may be a
correlation, but in our biz I don't see one.  Some say "you get what you pay
for", but b/c this industry is new there are a lot of unscrupulous
developers out there talking with naive uneducated clients.  This is a
dangerous mix.  We've talked to a number of prospective clients who were
charged $100,000+ for projects we could have done for $5,000.  I couldn't
sleep at night if we gouged clients like that and in the long run I think
gouging clients will come back to bite you.  We try to emphasize the total
cost to the client along with the benefits of our proposed solutions.  We
try to state these benefits in terms of time savings, exposure, value-added
capabilities, revenue and process improvement.  When you can put what you
can bring to the table in these terms the hourly rate becomes less critical
and it makes it easier to compete with inferior competitors that compete on
price alone.

So, in general what should you charge based on your skills, experience and
the types of things you are building?  At a mimimum you should charge enough
to cover the cost of your operation taking into account the risk of not
staying fully utlized and adding on enough to make an acceptable amount of
profit.  If after arriving at that number it seems that your target market
can't support that rate, reassess your strategy.  As a rule of thumb, a
consulting biz needs to charge 2.5 - 3 times the hourly rate payed to its
employees.  If you're a one person operation, you might think you need to
charge less, but I wouldn't look at it that way.  Unless you have clients
breaking your door down and your clients aren't aware that there *are*
others like you, you'll probably have to spend a significant amount of
non-billable time dealing with running the business, doing marketing, sales
and other business functions.  And if you're alternative is working as an
employee of another company and earning a steady paycheck (unless you just
don't want to work for anyone else) you should plan on at least making
enough to earn more than this alternative.

If I was trying to gauge my value I would probably start low, build up word
of mouth, client referrals and long term relationships and then increase my
rates gradually over time if the market allows you to do so.  In my area a
green PHP programmer working part time might be able do contract work for
$15 an hour while a seasoned guru might be able to command $150 an hour.
Over time your programming skills, productivity and business knowledge
should continuously increase.  As a result your margins should increase,
even if your so called "hourly rate" remains flat.  Unless of course you
hire other people.  That may make your operation much more complex and
difficult to manage than you may think.  Plus, any development firm that
hires a PHP programmer is reducing the pool of PHP programmers available to
my company and I just can't have that.

If you are using mysql, mysql_insert_id will do that for you.

[Maxim Maletsky]

mysql_insert_id() is a PHP function for it.
however I recommend you using a build-in SQL function LAST_INSERT_ID().

i.e: INSERT INTO table SET name='$name', surname='$surname';
UPDATE table SET name='$name', surname='$surname' WHERE id=LAST_INSERT_ID()

M, i really think that PHP is considered lightweight by some becuase:

1. Its easy. (Compare to C, Java, and the inconsistancies of VB)
We all know that real programmers only program in  (insert the hardest
thing you know eg: Machine Code, Fortran, C++ or Basic if you're pretty sad)
with VI installed on on an Commodore 64 with a tape drive...

2. It's a scripting language.
This does make PHP seem less like a "real language", even though a compiled
Java class file still needs an interpreter.


But of course any comments like "PHP a lightweight language?" are typically
flamebait, and i would ignore them (well i will next time)

I'm interested in the proposition made recently on this list that PHP is
somehow a 'lightweight' language that some people don't take seriously. I
am relatively new to Linux and open source programming and only really
know PHP and some shell scripting, though I am now starting to explore
Python.

I have had a quick overview of several languages and it seems to me that
they all deal with the same basic components and logic:

variables
statements
flow control
functions
classes
etc
etc
etc

So I'm wondering, apart from the fact that PHP is web centric, what
features does the language lack that prevent some from taking it
seriously? It appears to me to use the same basic elements and logic as
any other programming language. Maybe it doesn't have tedious requirements
for memory management like C, but so what? Neither does Python.

Any comments appreciated.

Interesting.  We're located in [not very large, but high tech/internet
concentration] Charlottesville, Virginia and there's a pretty significant
demand for PHP-based apps and websites.  Then again, our target market is
small/medium businesses and small internet startups and after assessing a
client's needs, working with them to define a solution and developing a
proposal that nearly always uses LAMP the clients rarely care what we use as
long as we deliver.  Sure, larger, stodgier corportate clients with IT
departments are more resistent to utilizing PHP and open source technology
for their enterprise solutions, but they aren't the only customers out
there.

Odd.  My search on monster.com for "php" turned up 324 listings.  I *wish*
there were less - we have listings 135 and 136 and have not found the right
candidate yet.

It appears as though the sprintf() function is being misused.  There's no

[PHP] Php Database

[Vinicius Garcia Mommensohn]

Muito obrigado pela ajuda Michael!

Hi everyone!
To use de DBA database format, first i had to configurate php with
--with-db2 option. All works (configure, make and make install). But the
php script still not works. The line of the script that has a problem
is:

$id = dba_open ("/home/httpd/html/testes/test.db", "n", "db2");

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: dba_open() in
/home/httpd/html/testes/teste.php on line 5

That's the error. But, when i looks at phpinfo(), it shows that the php
wasn't configurated with --with-db2.

I wanna know, how to upgrate the configurations of php... I already
tried to delete the config.cache file, but still not working.

Anyone knows it?

or cname the main PHP site that way we don't have to bog down/rely on
the primary PHP servers.  jobs.php.net

Further to the other conversations on this topic:
We always investiate any companies that are looking for CGI, Perl,
and ASP solutions since many of them are just going off of whatever
hype or pop phrases they have heard...many times we have waltzed
in and taken the NT/IIS/ASP proposed project that some small to mid
sized company wanted to hire for and offer a FreeBSD/Apache/PHP based
solution that cost them thousands less in licensing, still nets us
profit on the server implementation (not just web dev folks), and gets
us so close to the customer that it would cost twice as much for them
to move their business elsewhere and have anyone sit down and figure
out what the code logic is.
Recruiters and HR staff are usually the last people that you want to
try and deal with...  they are busy looking for people with 5+ years
of Windows 2000 administration, 5 different programming languages, and
5 years in marketing for a 50k a year position...  and have no idea
what the job actually entails or the project goals are.
Personal opinion, as always.

Take into account that you need 5 Java programmers where one PHP
programmer would do the job (this is not blind rage against Java; we
have recently completed a Java [ATG Dynamo] project and it has taken 10
times the resources the same solution in PHP would have needed).

Can't tell.

This is true for our major client; they have decided to go to Java,
leaving us no choice but to follow. They might yet make up their mind,
as ATG Dynamo and Oracle bring in licensing costs of ~ $1m.

A lot of IT consultants will recommend something expensive so that they
can claim they wanted a 'bussiness standard' if there are problems. Get
more trouble when you have recommended Open Source [*sigh*]. I still
wouldn't, though.

Prove that Open Source is working, and better than many commercial
solutions, too.

And that is because you need to do

$my_string = str_replace(" ", "%20", $my_string);

You have to assign the result of the function to something to see it :-)

Re: [PHP] C++ integration with PHP

[Toby Butzon]

Yes, system() waits for the called program to terminate before PHP
execution continues, so that should work.

However, you may also want to look into building a custom module for PHP
so you can call your C functions directly from PHP. Info on the Zend
API, building PHP modules in C, etc., is available at Zend.com.

[PHP] Win2000 TCP/IP failure

[Toby Butzon]

Greetings,

I've run into a problem on my Win2k computer running IIS5 and PHP
404pl1. I've got a page set up to pull a page from CNN.com, parse it for
headlines, and print the results in an organized table of links.
Everything's been working fine since the beginning of January, but
suddenly it dies with a PHP warning and my die() message:


Warning: fopen("http://www.cnn.com/desktop/content.html","r") - No error
in _file_extract.php on line 5

Unable to open http://www.cnn.com/desktop/content.html

The line that's generating the error looks like this:
$file = fopen($url, "r") or die("Unable to open $url");

So I figured maybe something was up with my fopen()... but apparently
not. I also have the same page connecting to the mysql server on
localhost to request a list of my reminders & tasks that need to be
done. However, connecting to the db server (on localhost) also dies with
the following:


Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't create TCP/IP socket (10091) in
basic_functions.php on line 9

Error: basic_functions.php:9 

Unable to connect to database

So now I'm completely stumped. I haven't changed anything as far as the
scripting on the page goes. I've tried rebooting (seems a likely
solution for windows, but it didn't work :/), I upgraded to the latest
PHP (I had been running 403), and even using the ISAPI module instead of
the CGI...

My apologies if it's obvious and I'm just not seeing it. Any ideas?

rawurlencode seems to be what you want if you want %20; or see urlencode 
which uses + for space character.

Re: [PHP] What version of Linux?

[Michael Hall]

Almost any distribution should work OK. I use Red Hat on one of my old
486 machines ... it is slow but it works. Given the machine
you're  working with, the main issue is I think optimising or customising
whatever distribution you do use to improve performance.

[PHP] encode string with spaces

[Kevin McCarthy]

All -

Any easy way to take a string and fill the spaces in it? Say like a 
URLencoding:

This is my dog, Jack
becomes
This%20is%20my%20dog,%20Jack

I ask this as I would like to send a string to a perl function that can 
parse the string and create a hash from it based on delimiters I define. 
But if there are spaces in the string in between defined fields, it is 
thrown off.

BTW, I tried both ereg_replace() and str_replace() with no luck as below:

$my_string = "This is my dog, Jack";
str_replace(" ", "%20", $my_string);

$my_string remains with spaces, not %20s.

Thanks.

[PHP] Files only available via HTTPS

[Michael Conley]

I have several PHP files that I only want users to be able to access via
HTTPS.  How can I control that on an Apache 1.3.14 server running on RedHat
7?  I have openssl and mod_ssl working fine.  Currently, I can access all of
the files on my site via either http or https.  I want to keep certain files
(with interesting information) from being accessed via http.  I realize this
isn't really a PHP question, but I have no idea how to do this.

Thanks.

[PHP] PHP a lightweight language?

[Michael Hall]

I'm interested in the proposition made recently on this list that PHP is
somehow a 'lightweight' language that some people don't take seriously. I
am relatively new to Linux and open source programming and only really
know PHP and some shell scripting, though I am now starting to explore
Python.

I have had a quick overview of several languages and it seems to me that
they all deal with the same basic components and logic:

variables
statements
flow control
functions
classes
etc
etc
etc

So I'm wondering, apart from the fact that PHP is web centric, what
features does the language lack that prevent some from taking it
seriously? It appears to me to use the same basic elements and logic as
any other programming language. Maybe it doesn't have tedious requirements
for memory management like C, but so what? Neither does Python.

Any comments appreciated.

Mick

The specific answer to your question is that the variable $birthday is 
local to the function - check out variable scope in the manual.

But in fact there is another way of doing it - pass the values to check as 
parameters to the function and have it return a result, thus: 

function CheckBirthday($year,$month,$day) {

if (($day) && ($month) && ($year)) {
  if (checkdate($day,$month,$year) {
$birthday = "$year/$month/$day";
  } else {
$birthday = "Invalid";
  }
}
  return $birthday
}

and to use it:

$result = CheckBirthday($year,$month,$day);
$sql = "UPDATE MyTable SET birthday = \"$result\" WHERE id = \"$id\"  ";

Those " around the variables probably should be ' if you are playing with 
mysql char fields.

I mean, of course php.ini is not installed by the compile/install process; 
you need to do it yourself. If you don't, PHP uses built in defaults.

php.ini is not installed - you need to modify php.ini-dist or 
php.ini-optimized from the top level directory of your source and place it 
in the directory you have specified at compile (if you did) or the the 
default (/usr/local/lib) location.

[PHP] Dnloading FDF docs / acrobat integration

[Patrick Shafer]

Greetings!

I am currently working on a project that creates an FDF document on-the-fly.
The end user should beable to click on a link (something like
http://whatever.com/mydoc.html?) and download an FDF document.
Users who have acrobat reader installed (with the browser plugin) should
beable to simply click on the link, and reader will open, displaying the
proper pdf with the fields filled in 

The problem is:  When a user clicks on the link, the fdf document either 1)
is displayed in plain text (despite the proper header being sent) or 2)
acrobat reader opens but displays an error saying the file can not be found.

I can right click on the link, and choose to save to disk.  Once I have the
fdf document on disk, opening it will propely open its associated pdf and
fill in the fields.

Has any one had this type of problem before? could web cacheing be causing
this?  could php sessions be influencing this?

Please CC me your reply ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) as I am not on this
list.

Thanks.

Yes - but remember that you won't be able to see it on a page rendered by a 
browser, as they tend to treat tabs, multiple spaces and line feeds as a 
single white space.

What version of PHP are you using? From TFM:

Also note that the optional second argument was added in PHP 3.0.17 and PHP 
4.0.3.

There was some discussion on this list a few months back re: an employer looking

for PHP coders.  The job description on their site listed "PHP" as "an open
source
ASP".  *MANY* "recruiters" don't know what the hell they're looking for,
especially for smaller companies.  They know they want result X and have heard
'java' is the answer, so they want 'java'.  If they take the time to learn
the lingo, and still want java, fine.  But if they don't want to take the time
to
learn the options (benefits/drawbacks) then I wouldn't want to do business with
them
anyway.

I also got turned down for a job some time ago because I didn't program CGI.
Perl?  yes.  PHP?  yes.  CGI - no.  I was talking to a recruiter and he'd looked
at
what I knew and said, sorry, no job for "perl" people - we need people who can
code in CGI.  I walked out at that point.

In 1997, I saw a job posting in our local paper (detroit news) wanting people
with 5 years Java experience.

When talking to potential clients, don't push PHP - push solutions.  When they
learn that an equivalent ASP solution will be an extra $7000 in licensing
over the open source equivalent, they'll often go open source.  But only
after they trust that you can deliver the end result in the first place,
language
choice aside.

Obviously this doesn't work well with companies that already have a huge
investment in one technology - people who dropped 5 figures on CF
aren't going to throw it away tomorrow.


>
> -Has the demand changed much in your city since middle of last year?

The demand for competent individuals who can deliver quality on time
for a reasonable cost has gone up.  Demand for people with particular
language skills has, AFAICT, gone down.

We migrated two relatively large clients from ASP to PHP recently, and use it
for all 'smaller' projects.

"if it doesn't crash my servers, use it".  PHP definitely has a leg up over ASP.

True for PHP+Mysql, but not for all databases. Oracle for example,
will run out of cursors in a week or two on a low-traffic site if you
don't close them and the db server will need a kick in the nuts to
get back up

You don't need to do anything - when the script terminates all that sort of 
thing is done for you by PHP. However, if you have a result set that may be 
using a bit of memory, and you have a lot more script after the result set 
is done with, you can use mysql_free_result. From TFM:


mysql_free_result - Free result memory

Description

int mysql_free_result (int result)

mysql_free_result() will free all memory associated with the 
result identifier result. 

mysql_free_result() only needs to be called if you are concerned about how 
much memory is being used for queries that return large result sets. All 
associated result memory is automatically freed at the end of the script's 
execution. 

For downward compatibility mysql_freeresult() can also be used.

[PHP] Closing Objects "Cleaning Up"

[Karl J. Stubsjoen]

When I do this:
$link = @mysql_pconnect("localhost", $this->db_user_id, $this->db_passwd);

And I do this:
if(!($result = mysql_query($querystr))) { ...

Then I do this:
$result = DoQuery($q);


What objects are there to close?  In ASP we issue code like this to close
these objects:
rs.close
set rs = nothing
db.close
set db = nothing
(where rs is the recordset and db is the database)

I need to know if there is a way to get a specified HTML page (as if you
were to go to the page by typing in the url in your browser) and either

Re: [PHP] Recommended Job Posting sites? Need to hire someone w/PHP exp.

[John Donagher]

Hey Brian-

Finding someone with past PHP experience is still difficult. Instead, look for
people who are recreational programmers or who have a deep understanding of the
mechanics behind HTTP. Whether they've worked with Java, ASP, Perl, Python, or
any CGI-style environment is IMHO irrelevant. PHP as a language is not
difficult to learn. Overcoming the inherant limitations of programming for the
web seems to be the bigger hurdle. People don't need to have used PHP to
conquer this hurdle. Either way, I'd be wary about making PHP experience a
prerequisite.

The desire to learn is important. Some people come in to a PHP project with the
misconception that "PHP sucks" and that their own future marketability as
programmers is somehow being tarnished by virtue of the fact that they have to
learn and use it. Write them off.

Why do you not contact Brian Schaffner? On http://php.net/links.php there
is a link to his "PHP Employment List".

Another suggestion, why not jobs.php.net?  I think Rasmus doesn't have 
other opinions.

[PHP] HTTP Referer has to be changed.

[FvH]

Hi,

I've got a problem with the HTTP_REFERER. I'll explain it to you now.

I've got a site where I can't logon to to change some things. That site
checks the HTTP_REFERER variable and if it matches with what's in the MySQL
db it passes you through.

Now I've got a site which has to have access to that site. Is there a
possiblity to change the referer in the httpheader?

I already tried header("Http-referer: www.name.com"); and header("Referer:
www.name.com"); and so one, but the headers_sent() function keeps on
returing false. (So headers aren't sent)

When I replace the referer for e.g. Location: www.name.com the header is
sent (headers_sent() returns true)

Hope someone can help me.

Greetz & already thanks.

Frank

RE: [PHP] contracting & consulting (was "[PHP] Pricing for PHP pr ogramming???")

[Chad Day]

Well, actually, I own phpspot.com but never got the time to actually DO
anything with it.  Might as well put it to good use.. if someone wants to
develop a site (and I might even have time to help, woo hoo!), I'd be in on
it.

Just some thoughts on this topic.   I've ran a web development business for
6 years.  I've seen demand for PHP grow exponentially in recent months.
However, it still isn't anywhere near where it could be.  I think the new
Zend Products will help corporate acceptance and job growth.  Right now when
I look at sites like monster, hotjobs, guru.com, etc. there are few php
listings.  It is hard for clients looking explicitly for good php talent to
find it easily.  We used to get a number of good leads every month off of
PHPBuilder.com's job board.   However, it was taken down in recent months at
parent company internet.com's request.  I think we need a central site where
people looking for contract work and full time employment positions can come
and post jobs related to php.  If anyone has a good domain idea or one
already bought, I'd be glad to work with them on such a site.  This type of
site would need to be pushed by the community if they want to benefit from
it.  Just putting a job board up and letting it sit won't do the trick.

Great thread. When I was changing jobs in April of 2000, a recruiter told me
that PHP is "cool and all", but there is zero demand for developers of PHP
web apps (in Los Angeles). Although I've been very productive developing in
PHP, he advised me to learn something else, b/c the demand just isn't there.
I prefer PHP for my web dev, but I'm still curious how accurate he was.

I know that that Java/EJB/JSP and COM/ASP is in MUCH more demand, and
therefore command a higher wage.  Demand vs supply, right?.  A search today
on monster.com for ASP in LA yields 142 listings, Java yields 262, JSP
yields 32, Perl yields 105, PHP yields 16, cold fusion yields 16.

-Has the demand changed much in your city since middle of last year?  
-Also, for developers who are proficient in several web dev environments, is
it mostly true that you use PHP for your own personal projects, but some
other language for big corporate clients.  
-What is the perception of PHP for mid/large organizations with more to
risk?
-What can we as a developer community do to change this?

Thanks, I'm very interested in others' opinions on this.

Somewhat related to the recent discussion on pricing for contractors, I
thought I'd ask if anyone knows of any good resources to help budding
contrators/consultants find their way around.

I'm a skilled web developer, but I'm not so knowledgeable when it comes to
law and conventions in the US for contractors and consultants doing web
development (or anything else).

If there are any good books or websites that talk about this type of
self-employment, or if anyone has personal experience they wish to offer,
please let me know.

Thanks.
Dean.

[PHP] C++ integration with PHP

[Zhu George-CZZ010]

Does anyone know how to integrate C++ and PHP if there are some data changes between 
PHP program and C++ program?

What I can think about is: in PHP, put the data in a file, and use "system" call to 
activate the c++ program. After that, let the c++ program to read the data file, and 
output the result into another file, and let the PHP to read the result file.  
But there is one question: will php wait until C++ program finish if I use "system" 
function from PHP?

Is there any better way to do the integration?

Thanks,
G.Z.

[PHP] Recommended Job Posting sites? Need to hire someone w/ PHP exp.

[Brian Tully]

Hey there - 

I was wondering what the recommended sites are to post/find jobs related to
web development - especially PHP.  The sites I've visited list mostly ASP
and Java related jobs so I'm wondering where do the PHP folks go to find
opportunities. While I'm not looking for a PHP expert, I'm looking for
someone with good web skills and has at least some PHP experience (as well
as the desire to learn more!). I'd appreciate any recommendations/advice.

Thanks in advance,
brian

[PHP] Variables within functions, out?

[James, Yz]

Hey guys.  Can I firstly say, thanks to all of you who helped me out with my
last question about importing MS Access databases into MySQL...  It helped
tons!

However, I have another question.

Firstly, I've strayed away from writing many of my own functions, because
they give me the fear.  But the code on the pages I am creating has forced
me to wake up...  I really sould think about cutting back on code.

SO, anyway, to cut to the chase, my question is this:  If I write a
function, which performs checks and assigns variable based on these checks,
how do I get the assigned variables from within the function?  For example
(this is more than likely VERY wrong), something like this:

global.inc:



File that would update / insert information to a MySQL database:



Even when I KNOW that I have included correct values, the $birthday variable
never shows up outside the function.  It's probably something simple I'm
missing, as in most cases ;)

Thanks for your patience,

James.

[PHP] dll windows libraries for php.

[Scott Fletcher]

   Hi!  I installed the IIS and PHP4 on WinNT 4 for testing purpose only.
(Tsk!Tsk!  I like Unix better!)  And they are working great so far.  One
after another, things that don't work are starting to work and it is taking
a while.  Right now, I have an script error saying undefined function,
virtual().  So, where can I find the dll php librar(ies) for windows?  I
don't even know what libraries does it come with for Windows.

Thanks,
 Scott

That looks pretty good to me, although it would be easier to search
for "^; Syslog" if it looked like this:

But that's just a random thought. =)

Re: [PHP] Want to learn PHP

[Stephan Ahonen]

I got started when I wanted to upgrade a site I co-run to some semblance of
automation, so we got a guy who knew PHP to do it for us... He started
working on a webn-page-in-a-template script, but wasn't able to finish it
due to schoolwork. I decided to try my hand at it, so I looked at the code
(thankfully, it wasn't as complicated as some of the stuff I see on here -
oy vey), got a general idea of what everything did by looking at it, and
started improving it. The online manual at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ was
extremely helpful for looking up functions.

This looks good although maybe something like the following would make it
easier to find sections.. at the moment the [syslog] (required) titles seem
to fade into the background a bit having this above the [title] would maybe
make the sections easier to spot.

[PHP] PHP/Perl Employee/Consultant Wanted!

[Lew Payne]

I'm looking to hire an *experienced* PHP programmer with experience in
PHP4, mySQL and Perl. The project involves taking an existing system
that's written mostly in Perl, and re-writing it in PHP4. To avoid the
pitfalls and problems of the existing system, we'll be implementing a
different strategy in our re-design. 

I've been a consultant for 20 years, and am experienced in PHP, mySQL,
Unix, bind, Apache, DHCP, Diablo, VAX/VMS and some esoteric systems.
My business has grown to the point where I can't do all the projects,
and I want to build a team of reliable employees and/or contractors I
can delegate to. 

I'm looking for people who have experience solving business problems.
That is, you should be able to analyze a problem and devise algorithms
on your own. I am *not* looking for someone who just learned PHP and
has no real-world problem solving experience. 

If you're interested, please email me directly -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
I have offices in Palo Alto, CA and Los Angeles, CA. But if you are
disciplined and experienced, you can work from home obviously.

[PHP] is_dir() function on Win32 platform

[Michael Hall]

I'm developing on Windows, and I have a bit of code that is designed to do a
quick recursive read on a folder.  An integral part of this is the use of
the is_dir() function to decide if it should recurse or not.

DoIt('G:\\');

function DoIt($path){
$handle=opendir("$path");
echo "Directory handle: $handle\n";
echo "Files:\n";
while (($file = readdir($handle))) {
if (is_dir($file) and $file != '.'){  #otherwise the '.' will send it 
into
a loop
print "";
DoIt($file);
print "";
} else {
print "".$file;
}
}
closedir($handle);
}


The problem I have is rather odd.  It seems to work on one machine (a
Windows NT 4 box) but on two others (one windows 98 and one NT4) the
if_dir() function returns false for everything except the . directory.

Does anyone know why this would be?

thanks.

Re: [PHP] sessions with frames

[Nathan Cook]

When you define the index.php and load the frames go ahead and start the
session and then pass the variables to the frame like this:




and then on main.php if you echo $var1 it will it will print "test"

RE: [PHP] contracting & consulting (was "[PHP] Pricing for PHP programming???")

[Navid]

Mr. Delap,

Perhaps the following site may help you in your quest for new employees that
know not only PHP, but almost anything computer related, from beginners to
advanced. If you haven't ran across it already, I think you might like it.
Roam around it a bit:  www.computerjobs.com.

Also, I am planning on starting up my own Web Development company, something
small for now. I want to focus more on XML, Push Technology, and Wireless
Communications. Do you have any tips to get me started? Thanks.   :)

Just some thoughts on this topic.   I've ran a web development business for
6 years.  I've seen demand for PHP grow exponentially in recent months.
However, it still isn't anywhere near where it could be.  I think the new
Zend Products will help corporate acceptance and job growth.  Right now when
I look at sites like monster, hotjobs, guru.com, etc. there are few php
listings.  It is hard for clients looking explicitly for good php talent to
find it easily.  We used to get a number of good leads every month off of
PHPBuilder.com's job board.   However, it was taken down in recent months at
parent company internet.com's request.  I think we need a central site where
people looking for contract work and full time employment positions can come
and post jobs related to php.  If anyone has a good domain idea or one
already bought, I'd be glad to work with them on such a site.  This type of
site would need to be pushed by the community if they want to benefit from
it.  Just putting a job board up and letting it sit won't do the trick.

Great thread. When I was changing jobs in April of 2000, a recruiter told me
that PHP is "cool and all", but there is zero demand for developers of PHP
web apps (in Los Angeles). Although I've been very productive developing in
PHP, he advised me to learn something else, b/c the demand just isn't there.
I prefer PHP for my web dev, but I'm still curious how accurate he was.

I know that that Java/EJB/JSP and COM/ASP is in MUCH more demand, and
therefore command a higher wage.  Demand vs supply, right?.  A search today
on monster.com for ASP in LA yields 142 listings, Java yields 262, JSP
yields 32, Perl yields 105, PHP yields 16, cold fusion yields 16.

-Has the demand changed much in your city since middle of last year?
-Also, for developers who are proficient in several web dev environments, is
it mostly true that you use PHP for your own personal projects, but some
other language for big corporate clients.
-What is the perception of PHP for mid/large organizations with more to
risk?
-What can we as a developer community do to change this?

Thanks, I'm very interested in others' opinions on this.

Somewhat related to the recent discussion on pricing for contractors, I
thought I'd ask if anyone knows of any good resources to help budding
contrators/consultants find their way around.

I'm a skilled web developer, but I'm not so knowledgeable when it comes to
law and conventions in the US for contractors and consultants doing web
development (or anything else).

If there are any good books or websites that talk about this type of
self-employment, or if anyone has personal experience they wish to offer,
please let me know.

Thanks.
Dean.

[PHP] details on imap functions.

[Larry Hotchkiss]

I am looking for a little more detailed information of the imap
function of php4. The dos point me to 'docs/internal.txt' but that does
not exist on my windows 'play' system. I cant find it on another rs/6000
I have it installed on either. Does someone have the file they can
e-mail to me? Or point me to where I can get it?

This is a public list and realize that :

a. Don't make assumptions
b. Don't take anything personally

Nobody here is directing "bad vibes" towards you and email communication
is questionable, miscommunication runs rampent.  So that said, nobody is
partronizing you but rather are bringing up points of reference.  We are 
'discussing' not 'fighting' and tangents many times come about too.

The archive can be searched through the search on php.net and the link

[Chris Hayes]

hi!
i would like to read in a txt file in the frame index page and use it 
through a session in pages.

It does not work if index.php starts the session and succesfully registers a 
var, because a php page in a frame does not recognize the var.

RE: [PHP] contracting & consulting (was "[PHP] Pricing for PHP programming???")

[DELAP, SCOTT F (SBCSI)]

Just some thoughts on this topic.   I've ran a web development business for
6 years.  I've seen demand for PHP grow exponentially in recent months.
However, it still isn't anywhere near where it could be.  I think the new
Zend Products will help corporate acceptance and job growth.  Right now when
I look at sites like monster, hotjobs, guru.com, etc. there are few php
listings.  It is hard for clients looking explicitly for good php talent to
find it easily.  We used to get a number of good leads every month off of
PHPBuilder.com's job board.   However, it was taken down in recent months at
parent company internet.com's request.  I think we need a central site where
people looking for contract work and full time employment positions can come
and post jobs related to php.  If anyone has a good domain idea or one
already bought, I'd be glad to work with them on such a site.  This type of
site would need to be pushed by the community if they want to benefit from
it.  Just putting a job board up and letting it sit won't do the trick.

Great thread. When I was changing jobs in April of 2000, a recruiter told me
that PHP is "cool and all", but there is zero demand for developers of PHP
web apps (in Los Angeles). Although I've been very productive developing in
PHP, he advised me to learn something else, b/c the demand just isn't there.
I prefer PHP for my web dev, but I'm still curious how accurate he was.

I know that that Java/EJB/JSP and COM/ASP is in MUCH more demand, and
therefore command a higher wage.  Demand vs supply, right?.  A search today
on monster.com for ASP in LA yields 142 listings, Java yields 262, JSP
yields 32, Perl yields 105, PHP yields 16, cold fusion yields 16.

-Has the demand changed much in your city since middle of last year?  
-Also, for developers who are proficient in several web dev environments, is
it mostly true that you use PHP for your own personal projects, but some
other language for big corporate clients.  
-What is the perception of PHP for mid/large organizations with more to
risk?
-What can we as a developer community do to change this?

Thanks, I'm very interested in others' opinions on this.

-Ben

Somewhat related to the recent discussion on pricing for contractors, I
thought I'd ask if anyone knows of any good resources to help budding
contrators/consultants find their way around.

I'm a skilled web developer, but I'm not so knowledgeable when it comes to
law and conventions in the US for contractors and consultants doing web
development (or anything else).

If there are any good books or websites that talk about this type of
self-employment, or if anyone has personal experience they wish to offer,
please let me know.

Thanks.
Dean.
