Re: [PHP] Continue processing after redirect?

Re: [PHP] Continue processing after redirect?
Hello Rasmus,
Now that the topic has been brought,
How much long will the script keep running after the redirection request has
been made?
Doesn't that behaviour depend from browser to browser ?
Thanks,

Re: [PHP] Re: Bulk Email [solution found!]
i tried it using the 5th parameter with -odd and the mail got qued but i also need to
set [EMAIL PROTECTED] (so i get those bounces) but i got <[EMAIL PROTECTED] -odd> for the
return path in the email.
i then tried it with the -odd first and it qued the mail but didn't set the return
path, i also want to set it so it only returns the headers using -Rhdrs so need to set
3 options when sendmail is called.
can you set multiple options with the 5th parameter? i would have thought it would
append the stuff in the 5th to the sendmail path set in php.ini but it doesn't seem to
work that way.
i can do this fine by using popen() and adding the parameters to the path so i can't
see why it doesn't play with the mail function.

Yes that's what I was doing- because the form has other elements other than
checkboxes I have to distinguish between the checkboxes and the others and
hence a separate array for checkboxes.

Great idea! Actually after I posted the question I thought of the same
thing :-). This is probably the most elegant way. I am curious though why
PHP doesn't just create the variable anyways and just assign it a null value
if the box is not checked.

Re: [PHP] Newbie: Update Multiple Records
Hi,
Print out your data onto a master page, with checkboxes. The checkboxes
should be an array, with the ID (or some other unique identifier) of each
row. The array would look something like:
$approve['1'] => 'Y';
$approve['2'] => 'Y';
$approve['3'] => 'Y';
...
$approve['10'] => 'Y';
The array will only contain rows which were checked.
Then on the next page, you loop through the array with a foreach statement,
updating the table to suit:
foreach($approve as $k => $v)
{
$sql = "UPDATE WHERE id='{$k}'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
}
Hope this is enough to get you started.

The difference with sparklist over running something on a shared host is that Sparklist is a dedicated mailinglist company, so their servers are geared up for this one task. The problem with aiming to achieve this is on a shared server with 100-200 other websites is that the server is geared towards hosting sites, not bulk mail. Given a dedicated server, all is well, but my *guess* is that many of the developers on here are on shared servers (at least those in the newbie-beginner-intermediate levels). I haven't looked into sparklist too heavily... US$50/month is a little steep. Their minimum per month is 50,000 emails, and i'm likely to only send 1000-2000, but they do offer customised emails. >> I'd expect doing this frequently on a shared server would be the fastest >> way to get your account shut down. > > I would recommend getting a dedicated server.

Yes, very true. Actually on shared servers, most ISP would not allow you
to send messages to that many recipients even if you use just send one
message in Bcc for all because in the end it will consume much bandwidth.
Some people think that working around the problem by sending just to a
few hundred at a time will solve the problem, but they are just fooling
themselves because it will still consume the same, if not more, bandwidth.
Another problem why shared server hosting companies forbid bulk-mailing
is that they can't be sure if what people is sending is really solicited
e-mail, even if you sware that it is. There is always the risk of having
their IP ranges blacklisted by anti-spammers and they do not want to
deal with that.
Many people are resorting to ADSL/cable lines for bulk-mail (solicited
or not). Because of that, many ISP have included the IPs of those
connection in the Dial-Up List which is basically used by many mail
server administrators to refuse messages as they may be from hit-and-run
spammers.
If you are really sending solicited e-mail, eitheir you use a server
that you absolutely control or hire e-mail delivery hosting services
that are meant for that purpose, despit they currently are not very cheap.

Re: [PHP] Bulk Email [solution found!]
I wouldn't call this a real solution, since it relies heavily on specific
server requirements and config changes. Simple fact is that a LOT of PHP
programmers are on shared servers, and their hosts would NOT want 50,000
emails queued up on disk. No way!!
I'd expect doing this frequently on a shared server would be the fastest way
to get your account shut down.

What does the php logs say? You should set error_reporting to E_ALL.

The user that the webserver (assuming apache) is usually nobody or apache and
may not have the necessary permissions to execute your script. Also try
specifying the complete path to bash.

As I mentioned before this solution is set for disaster as you grow into
larger number of recipients. The problem is that queuing separate
messages for each recipient will fill up your disk. But that is not all.
The eventual message bounces that you will get will only aggravate your
problem. If you can live without personalization, don't think twice,
forget it. If you have doubts, think again.

I am not sure that sending to the local mailer queue via SMTP would be
any better than using sendmail itself to put the message there. Anyway,
I am afraid that the message will still wait for sendmail to process it

I am afraid this code needs a lot of work or else it will choke on some
servers due to multi-line responses, maybe not on the actual sendmail
version and configuration you are using, but definetely on some SMTP
servers.

Re: [PHP] Protocol on handling empty checkbox values
I'd use an array on some way, but the other option is to see if the var is
set, else set it to N
if(isset($_POST['my_checkbox_var'])) {
$_POST['my_checkbox_var'] = 'N';
}
Probably what I'd do is create an array for the possible checkbox values,
then USE THAT ARRAY to build the form. Then I can re-use the array on the
validation script, checking that each element isset()... if they aren't, set
them to 'N'.
To throw in a curve-ball, you can set the default value for your MySQL
column to 'N', which means that any value you DON'T write will be 'N', and
those you do will be 'Y'.

Hi Nick!
First off, *please* read a netiquette guide before posting -- I hate
seeing a conational of mine posting a message like yours ("###PLEASE

not paying for support on this mailing list, so you can't demand

posting because we don't have to read through your "slickiness" -- but
that may be a matter of personal opinion.
Your problem resides exactly in your code's slickiness - which
incidentally doesn't make it any faster. Try this conventional code instead:

You are trying to execute a bash script from PHP though. When you invoke
the php engine it usually changes directory (to the root defined in the
php.ini I think). To stop this so that it will remain in the current
directory so that when you run bash it will see the bash script in the
current directory, you need to use the -C command line option. I believe
your environment is inherited by php and subsequently bash and so if
you don't use the -C option bash will be looking in the wrong directory.

Rob.

Re: [PHP] question about executing a bash shell script...
Hi Robert,
Thanks so much for the prompt reply.
Actually, I'm not trying to execute a php script, I'm trying to execute a
shell (bash) script.
This works at the command line:
bash makethesite.sh param1 param2 param3
This doesn't work via php
$bashresult=shell_exec('bash makethesite.sh param1 param2 param3');
echo $bashresult;
Doesn't execute the script, nothing in $bashresult

try something like:

if that doesn't work can you use the system() function instead?

I'm asuming you are executing something like the following:
php myPhpScript.php
The following will probably give you the desired results...
php -qC myPhpScript.php
This prevents PHP from switching out of the current directory.

[PHP] Bulk Email [solution found!]
I have found a solution to my bulk email problem. I'm
posting my solution simply because I spent nearly a
year finding it, and I KNOW there's many other people
in my same situation.
First, a recap of my problem:
I need to send personalized emails to my member list
on a daily basis. I use PHP to query the MySQL
database, and loop through the results using the
mail() function. Problem: very slow, browser/php times
out, etc.
Solution:
First, I configure sendmail to use "queueonly" as the
DeliveryMethod (see sendmail.cf) instead of
"background". Then, when my PHP script runs, mailings
simply get queued instead of actually delivered. This
is a x10 speed increase. My script queues
approximately 1,000 mailings per minute (a x10 speed
increase). Then, I modified the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail script to process the queue
every 5 minutes, instead of the default one hour. This
insures that the mailings actually get sent soon after
they're queued, and you won't have to wait for
important emails to come through.
The problem with the above solution used to be this:
certain emails generated from my site (welcome emails,
password lookup emails, etc) need to be sent
IMMEDIATELY, and cannot wait in the queue for 5
minutes. The solution for this: not using the built-in
mail() command in PHP. I created my own mail script
(by modifying something someone else already did)
which opens a socket directly with the mail server.
Code is below.
// Sends the email directly to the mail server using
SMTP. This is done
// so sendmail can be setup using the queue method on
the server, and
// confirmation emails, etc, can be sent immediately
to the member.
function smtp_mail($to, $from_name, $from_email,
$reply_to_email, $subject, $body) {
$smtp = fsockopen("your_mail_server_here", 25);
if ($smtp == 0)
return 0;
fputs($smtp,"helo
machines_host_and_domain_name_here\r\n");
$line = fgets($smtp, 1024);
fputs($smtp,"mail from: $from_email\r\n");
$line = fgets($smtp, 1024);
fputs($smtp,"rcpt to: $to\r\n");
$line = fgets($smtp, 1024);
fputs($smtp,"data\r\n");
$line = fgets($smtp, 1024);
fputs($smtp,"From: $from_name <$from_email>\r\n");
fputs($smtp,"Reply-To: $reply_to_email\r\n");
fputs($smtp,"To: $to\r\n");
fputs($smtp,"Subject: $subject\r\n");
fputs($smtp,"\r\n");
fputs($smtp,"$body\r\n");
fputs($smtp,".\r\n");
$line = fgets($smtp, 1024);
fputs($smtp, "QUIT\r\n");
fclose($smtp);
return 1;
}
Function is called as follows:
if (!smtp_mail("recipient_email_here",
$EMAIL_FROM_NAME, $EMAIL_FROM_EMAIL,
$EMAIL_FROM_REPLY_TO, $SIGNUP_VALIDATION_SUBJECT,
"Test Body")) {
print "error: mail not sent";
} else {
print "it worked!";
}
Hope this helps others!

[PHP] question about executing a bash shell script...
Hi folks,
I'm learning shell scripting via linux, and have written a script that creates the
core files necessary for a users website from a master set of files.
Works from the shell just fine (bash makethesite.sh username pathtoputfiles
pathtogetfiles)
Trying to execute this via php, and it literally does nothing.
If I try something like:
$bashoutput=shell_exec('bash makethesite.sh username pathtoputfiles pathtogetfiles');
echo $bashoutput;
I get nothing output, and the script doesn't execute.
Any ideas?

[PHP] Re: progress bar for uploading files
This wouldn't work for uploading files however since the long part of the process is the act of uploading the file and until that completes your "save.php" (or whatever) isn't called. So in regards to file uploading it has to be done with Javascript. What you do below is great for scripts that just take a long time though. -philip On Fri, 16 Aug 2002, Peter J.

[PHP] AllTheWeb.com design contest
I wanted to pass along the details of a contest that I thought you might find interesting. AlltheWeb is the public search engine of Fast Search & Transfer and currently it is one of the largest search engines in the industry with over 2.1 billion pages in the web index. Recently, AlltheWeb.com announced the first ever design contest to personalize the look and feel of www.alltheweb.com and invites all web designers and technically minded people to submit an entry using CSS. Below is some information about the contest and if you have any questions, please feel free to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- AlltheWeb is looking for the most innovative and creative designs using AlltheWeb Alchemist. AlltheWeb Alchemist renders AlltheWeb in the most basic HTML tags, with no layout, design, positioning or formatting rules. This enables designers to get creative and work some CSS magic to transform the site from its bare bones into a work of art. Designs will be judged in one of three categories: 1. "Simple, Yet Beautiful" (the most minimalistic design) 2. "To CSS Infinity and Beyond" (the best use of CSS technology) 3. "So 22nd Century" (the most innovative, best looking design) The winning design in each category will win a $750 gift certificate to Amazon.com and the CSS files will be posted on the AlltheWeb site for use by AlltheWeb users. Second and third place winners will also win gift certificates and have their designs posted for use. The contest is open to the general public. All submissions must be received by September 22. More details and submission form for the contest can be found at http://www.alltheweb.com/contest. We're looking for some great entries and would very much appreciate your support in getting the word out to the design community about the contest.

I'll assume here that you're dynamically building the table and thus the checkboxes, which is why you cannot know whether a checkbox exists on the form or not. If this is true, I would get a variable $loop, set it to 0, then on outputting every checkbox, append this value to the checkbox's name. Then you have predicatable checkbox names. When you have finished drawing the checkboxes, note in a hidden input field the $loop value so you know what maximum possible checkbox number is. On receiveing the POST, do a for loop, and perform an if (isset($_POST["checkbox_number_$loop"])) then you know if it's set or not. I think that just about covers it.

[PHP] Protocol on handling empty checkbox values
Hi all. For a universal form script I'm writing I want to store a 'Y' in a table field if a checkbox is checked and an 'N' if it's not. The problem is that when the form is posted if the checkbox is not checked the checkbox variable is not passed. E.g. If the checkbox is checked, I get $_POST['my_checkbox_var'] == 'Y', but if not $_POST['my_checkbox_var'] is not even set. So what I've been doing is putting the variable names of the checkbox fields into an array, serializing it, and then pass the string as a hidden input on the form. Then in the page that handles the POST I unserialize the array to determine if checkbox fields were passed and then handle accordingly. But I'm wondering is there a better way (or at least a standard way) of doing this? David -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] session lost when back button hit?
By any chance, is page one the "entrance" page to your application? I.e. is there a session id in either the query string of the page URL or was there one passed to it via a POST? Without cookies enabled, there is no way to allow users to use the back button to go back to the entrance page while maintaining the session. One (hackish) solution to this is to cause the entrance page to immediately redirect to itself using either PHP's header function, or a meta refresh. Your goal here is to make it so that hitting back from a secondary page would take you to the post-refreshed entrance page which has the session ID.

This way, if they use the back button, the first "first page" they come to has the SID. You might then be able to use window.forward() in Javascript first, before giving them an SID. If they used the back button to get to you, window.forward() moves forward to a page that has an SID (which should look exactly like the page they thought they wanted that didn't have an SID). If they didn't use the back button to get to you, window.forward shouldn't do anything. As a fall-back, you would probably want to have a warning on the front page that says, if the front page has no SID, that if they used the back button get here, use the forward button to go back or they might lose their session data. This depends on your audience, of course. If you did that to me as a general browser, I probably wouldn't ever visit your site again :*) Note that some sites do come right out and tell you not to use your back button to get around.

[PHP] Moving Files - Stupid Error
Hey all, I need a little help with moving a file on the server after an
upload.
Our company site is hosted, so I don't have full access to the
configuration files, but I can do a PHP_info dump if you need more
clarification. Using 4.0.1pl2.
What I'm doing is uploading a file from a form, and that goes through just
fine. I can print the file name to a database, along with the size.
The trouble is, no matter how I try to move it from the tmp directory, I
get the same error. I've tried referencing it by the name given in the
form, I've tried referencing it by $_Files. No matter how I call it, it
never seems to go back to the tmp directory to look for the file. Here's a
sample error:
Warning: Unable to create '/test/data/test.txt': No such file or directory
in /usr/local/www/vhosts/healthtvchannel.org/htdocs/test/upload.php on line 17
That's with using:
copy("{$UploadedFile}","/test/data/".$UploadedFile_name);
$UploadedFile being the name I'm using. Both variables seem to be returning
correctly. $UploadedFile returns the temp name, and $UploadedFile_name
returns the actual name. The file is also far under the maximum file size.
The /test/data has Nobody write permissions, I know because I'm writing to
a file in it with another script, and there's no file in there with the
same file name to cause overwriting ownership conflicts.
So where am I being stupid?
Here's the full code:
");
$filename = $UploadedFile_name;
print "$filename was uploaded successfuly\n";
$realname = $UploadedFile_name;
print "realname is $realname\n";
print "copying file to uploads dir\n";
copy("{$UploadedFile}","/test/data/".$UploadedFile_name);
?>

RE: [PHP] Re: progress bar for uploading files
I had a rather weird thought, but it is Friday after all :^] How about setting a small IFRAME in the upload diaog box? Then you could do a couple of things; a.) Place a small animated GIF in the IFRAME that moves left to right or from side to side until the upload completes. 2.) Use the GD library and do something similar in the IFRAME. Now, there are some issues such as calcing the time it takes to upload or measuring the amount of the file upload and updating the IFRAME image accordingly, and maybe some other little details that I am not thinking about, but it just a weird little thought. I'd love to see some solutions based on this though, and maybe when I get a little time next week I'll give it a go. HTH!

It kind of a chicken-or-the-egg > problem ... I kind of hate it when sites do this, but you could have the first page reload itself if it doesn't have an SID, and add an SID to itself. This way, if they use the back button, the first "first page" they come to has the SID. You might then be able to use window.forward() in Javascript first, before giving them an SID. If they used the back button to get to you, window.forward() moves forward to a page that has an SID (which should look exactly like the page they thought they wanted that didn't have an SID). If they didn't use the back button to get to you, window.forward shouldn't do anything. As a fall-back, you would probably want to have a warning on the front page that says, if the front page has no SID, that if they used the back button get here, use the forward button to go back or they might lose their session data. This depends on your audience, of course. If you did that to me as a general browser, I probably wouldn't ever visit your site again :*) Note that some sites do come right out and tell you not to use your back button to get around. You might just do this, and if they use their back button anyway, they get a new session. Jerry -- http://www.hoboes.com/jerry/ "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.

There are no spaces between the names. Try: $Namak = "$namsa $namadu $namati"; But, that's probably not the problem. I suspect none of the three variables are being set because you have register_globals turned off. Use the $_POST or $_GET variables.

You're best bet would be to make an animated gif that looks like a progres bar (or twirling icon or whatever). Then when the users hits submit, "turn it on"... in the same way you do image rollovers, etc... Then it will spin until the form is submitted...

[PHP] HTML-based mail with PHP
Now, this may be more of an e-mail question than a PHP question. For that, I apologize. I'm having trouble with some HTML-based mail with PHP. It's not the regular thing where I can't get it to use the tags instead of just printing them. That part's fine; it comes out HTML-based. My problem is the way it's not accessing a certain image. I get a broken link instead of an image at the top of my e-mail. I had it print the URL at which it should find the image, and then cut and paste that in my browser, and the image comes up fine. But, as far as putting it in the e-mail, it's not working out. Any ideas? __ Do You Yahoo!?

[PHP] Re: How retrieve database data from email?
I'm not very proficient with e-mail configuration, so if someone finds
I'm saying something wrong, don't think twice before correcting it.
AFAIK, you can create an alias typically in /etc/aliases - or
/etc/sendmail/aliases, as I've heard for newer versions of sendmail. In
any case, the file has to be there already because that's where you have
the root/webmaster/postmaster aliases defined.
Add a line reading
stocks:
| /usr/bin/php /path/to/your/script.php
I'm not sure if sendmail should be restarted after this, so you'd better
do it just to make sure.
You'll obviously need root access to do these. After this point, you
don't anymore.
In /path/to/your/script.php, you'll receive the whole e-mail message
from standard input, so you'll have to check out those functions here
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php
Then all you have to do is parse the incoming mail message - I'm sure
you'll be able to google out plenty of functions/classes to do that -
drop me an e-mail if you don't find any and I'll send you mine.

[PHP] sessions: what to do when browser won't accept cookies?
I'm finding myself in a strange situation. I am trying to build a a web site that will use sessions and work even if a user decides not to accept cookies. So far the site design is working fine by using the trans-sid functionality of PHP. But I have this on case where things break down. 1- user comes to the top page of my site 2- I try and start a session. user refuses to accept cookies 3- user click on links to visit my site, session works before SID is passed along in the URL 4 user clicks back button all the way back to my top page 5 session is lost because the SID is not in the URL of the top page ... How can I get around the problem of not having the SID in the URL of the first page to my site the user comes to? It kind of a chicken-or-the-egg problem ... Thanks for any and all suggestions!

[PHP] SQL Injection/Data Balidation
Please CC me as I'm on digest:
--
Are there any libraries for data validation available? If one reads
papers like these:
http://www.nextgenss.com/papers/advanced_sql_injection.pdf
http://www.nextgenss.com/papers/more_advanced_sql_injection.pdf
It becomes apparent that sites using databases are incredibly open to
attack because of the ingenuity of the attackers. I think there should
be a PHPGuardLib or something. After reading those articles, I plan on
filtering ALL input for semi-cololons and 'chr(' character strings. In
the cases where I want to accept apostrophes, I'm going to be very
careful.
Also, are there any attacks to email programs on linux that can be done
through input forms?
PS, for those who think escaping user input only on apostrophes, THINK
AGAIN! And read the aticles above.
