PHP has no 'date' type...

So what you are calling a date is one of these:
1) An integer representing Unix timestamp (is_int())
2) Some fancy OOP object (use OOP isa function)
3) A string that happens to look like a date to humans
   a) strtotime might work
   b) a preg_match might work better

You told Apache that files that end in ".php" are php files.

You put your PHP code into a file that ends in ".html"

So Apache didn't think you wanted that ".html" file to execute PHP, so
it didn't.

Then you put your code into phpinfo.php, and that should have worked.

When you say "it show me nothing" do you mean literally nothing, or
some kind of error message about the page not being there?

If you mean literally nothing, try using "View Source" in your browser
to see if the  is in there.  If it is, Apache still
isn't handing your ".php" files off to PHP for some reason.

Check Apache error logs for error messages.

Speaking of which, we don't have a crystal ball to tell us what was in
the two error messages.  Please do tell. :-)

What are the odds the OP has any idea that extract() is ugly and

It's still a performance issue, but not as large, as it's not actually
cramming them onto the hard drive.

There are E_NOTICE messages that are NOT about undefined variables and
that you probably DO want to catch.

The correct solution, however, is to FIX YOUR CODE.

Tackle a half-dozen of those notices every day until they are all gone.

If you tackle the ones that seem to happen the most first, you'll be
amazed how quickly your log slims down to managable.

Piracy does not hurt the big boys in the least bit.

They simply jack up the price for honest folk.

You're only stealing, yes, Larry, actual money :-), from hard-working
individuals who pay MORE for their legit copy when you pirate.

That is the end effect.

That is why it really IS theft.

I don't think there is any magical incantation that works for all

They all store their version info in whatever portion of the file they

Unless you mean .exe files specifically, in which case it's probably

Okay, so now we have to decide who plays whom in "PHP History", the
movie.

Rasmus Lerdorf: Bruce Willis
Ze'ev Suraski: Donald Sutherland, only he's too old now... What's his
kid's name?
Andi Gutmans: Daniel [mumble] (Harry Potter) looks about right, by the
time he finishes HP movie #7

Anybody else?

}

You're on your own to convert that into something PHP 4.3.3RC4 can

You might find it more fruitful to find a local class in OOP practices
in general, or even Java OOP or almost any OOP-heavy language.

PHP OOP didn't grow out of nowhere, and while it's not all the same,
you'll probably get just as much out of any OOP class as you would a
PHP OOP class.

And the practical issues, well, few OOP courses really dive into that,
to tell you the truth...

Hi Richard,

Odd thing is all of the other headers of the email (see below for a
snippet of the headers) show the date stamp with the correct + and the
actual Date: header shows a ? instead of a +

I assumed that the 270 is a corrupted character that was substituted with a
? because it didn't know what else to put there. 

This error is spread throughout my google searches as some people have had
it happen from versions as old as mid 3 version of PHP through to later
versions of 4.

My only guess is that it seems to be some sort of inbuilt glitch within PHP
that reacts with some common denominator (version of IIS, version of
operating syetem etc) but noones been able to discover a reason.

Note the above how it puts the correct +1000 on the internal header, but the

Re: [PHP] Re: Malformed Email Date Header

If the sysadmin told the BIOS that s/he was using UTC, but told the OS
that s/he was not using UTC (or vice versa) and then the clocks are
being adjusted, and if it's in time zone -5, then you'd have the
10-hour offset right there, I think...

Course, that has zilch to do with the \270 for '+' mind you, so the OP

they are not...

Re: [PHP] Malformed Email Date Header

[Richard Lynch]

Looks to me like the \270 is some kinda Unicode character instead of,
like, you know ASCII '+'...

Dunno how you managed to convince your mail system that you wanted it
to convert + to Unicode \270, mind you, but there it is.

No, that would be a useful feature, and browser-makers have much more

If you are trying to protect from unauthorized viewing, they probably
shouldn't be in the webtree at all, as it's not exactly rocket science
to guess that your images are in an images sub-directory, even if you
never show a URL to it...

You'd still do the same stuff, just put the images outside the webtree
so that the ONLY way to get to them is through your PHP script.

Change the URL to exactly what you typed and write a show.php script
that does a http://php.net/readfile on $FileName

You've missed a few minor bits and pieces, like $FileName never
actually gets pulled out of $row, but you're almost finished, except

Not forever.

Just until something else being downloaded shoves it out due to the
folder size restriction.

The browser might even be "smart" and keep oft-used resources in the
cache in favor of others rather than be strictly FIFO.

So a random URL makes browsers that were dumb enough to cache
something they shouldn't have cached (if you sent no cache headers)
"clog" up their cache with the un-re-usable files that it shouldn't
have saved anyway.

Oooh, hurt me. :-)

You can try to use all the zillion header calls people will send you.

Somewhere out there is a really stupid browser that will insist on
caching it.

src="somebody.jpg?" will make it very difficult
for any halfway-decent browser to cache.

However, that can lead to some issues when the URL of the image is
embedded elsewhere, as some folks will strip off the GET arg on the
assumption that it's invalid for a JPEG.

Embedding the random bit so that it LOOKS like a directory, but isn't,
will avoid that problem.

I blogged about how to do this kind of thing (in another context) over
here:
http://richardlynch.blogspot.com/2006/06/php-downloads-content-disposition.html

There are shorter / better explanations out there, but I don't know
where without Googling, and you know how to Google, right?

Say Firefox to a "typical user" and they will assume you are swearing at
them in another language.

...

Typical users don't even KNOW they have a printscreen button just like
most typical users don't know there is ANOTHER kind of browser :)



That said, I don't think the hypothetical typical clueless user is 
relevant here.  A user who really wants to scrape images off websites 
will find a way with very little effort -- just google and a few 
clicks -- to view background images, to view page source, to disable 
javascript disabling of context menus, to install Firefox and the web 
developer toolbar, whatever; it's all within easy reach of anyone 
with motivation and average intelligence.  Sure, you can make it 
difficult for X% of computer users to locate your images, but those 
aren't the people you're worried about, it's the Y% who don't take no 
for an answer and try, try again.


Trying to solve the problem of theft of intellectual property at the 
browser level always seems to end in failure.  Just go back to the 
source and provide content that you don't mind people taking cuz you 
can't stop them if they really want to.


Had to smile yesterday, was walking past an espresso bar that doubles 
as an internet cafe.  A customer had approached the counter and was 
asking the barrista how to access his email because he couldn't find 
Explorer, and she advised him to click on Foxfire.  (Great movie, though.)

[PHP] error reporting

[Bruce Cowin]

I'm running PHP 5.1 on IIS.  My dev environment is all local on my
machine.  My php.ini has the following error reporting settings:

error_reporting  =  E_ALL
display_errors = Off
display_startup_errors = Off
log_errors = On
log_errors_max_len = 1024
ignore_repeated_errors = Off
ignore_repeated_source = Off
report_memleaks = On
track_errors = Off
error_log = syslog

To test, I've written a little script that divides by 0.  When I run
the script from the command line, I get entries in my Event Log as
expected, but if I load the page into my browser (Firefox), no error is
reported in the Event Log.  

I've checked http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.errorfunc.php but can't
find anything there.  I figure I must be missing something pretty
obvious but not sure what it is.  The script and logged error from the
command line are below.  Thanks for any help.

script:







logged error from command line:
The description for Event ID ( 2 ) in Source ( PHP-5.1.2 ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote

Yes, but for what purpose do you want to hide the image url, for

If you want to pretty up your url's so that they look nice, there's 
several ways to do it as suggested on this list.


Additionally, you can use a mod-rewrite to do that -- you can read

Java has absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand.  Java is a 
compiled bytecode language.  DOM is a language-agnostic API for managing 
tree-based data structure.

I suspect you're referring to Javascript, which has even less to do with Java 
than PHP does.  

Javascript is also not a specialized language-agnostic API.  Javascript is a 
fully capable and quite powerful semi-functional language in its own right 
(semi-functional meaning you can do functional programming in it, not that it 
only sort-of works ).  It is very frequently used for manipulating the DOM 
of an HTML page in a browser, but that is by no means its only ability any 
more than PHP is just a specialized HTML.

You're confusing two different things.

The DOM is a standard API developed by the W3C for addressing tree data 
structures, generally XML or a data structure that maps to XML.  It is 
language-independent, which is why the Javascript DOM functions look and act 
really really closely to the PHP DOM functions.  Do not expect the DOM API to 
change any time soon.

XHTML is a particular XML DocType.  One can manipulate it using the DOM API.  
That is very frequently done using Javascript, but in PHP 5 can be done in 
PHP as well with essentially the same API.  The DOM functions can be a bit 
clunky, though, so various Javascript libraries exist that wrap them up into 
some easier syntax.  My preference is for jQuery, but there are many others.

Web 2.0 is a marketing term for a technical style and visual design movement.  
It was invented by Tim O'Reilly as a somewhat joke, and picked up by people 
with too much time and not enough brains to mean "Dot Boom 2.0".

Web 3.0 is a fictional term that is used only to make fun of people who use 
the term Web 2.0 with a straight face.

What you're actually asking for is new elements in the DocType that offer 
richer form elements.  Do not expect that any time soon on a massive scale.  
HTML/XHTML is unlikely to get such a thing any time soon.  There is the 
XForms standard from W3C, but I don't know of anything that actually uses it.  
Microsoft would say "just use .NET", but that just gets boiled down to some 
variant of Javascript that runs only in every bug-fix release of IE.

Probably the only useful "richer forms" system right now with any mass-market 
adoption is XUL, which is the XML-based interface language used by Gecko, the 
Firefox engine.  It runs in pretty much any version of Firefox, but is a very 
different animal from HTML.

header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past

That will effect only the one specific image I use this on when generating 
it right?

The image itself.

Also note, that if you use my solution 2, you still might get
problems, as the page that is calling might be cached, and in the
cached page, it refers to the image with the same unique code, and it
will use the cached image again.

Also, if you use solution 2, the image will still stay forever in the
temp folder of the browser(unless the user is cleaning it). If you use
solution 1, the browser will keep it only for this page, and will
remove it afterwards.

Re: [PHP] Is it possible to stop an image from being cached?

Well, this is only one specific image that constantly changes, the rest of 
the page is handled regularly.

From what you've said if I go with this

header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past

Here is my suggestion.  You COULD use strtotime() and try and have PHP see if it recognizes the

But wouldn't that make every image on the page be uncached and reloaded each
time? Not very efficient if the shell of the site keeps getting loaded if
only 1 or 2 images need to be forced.

Yes, that depends on which way it is used, I wouldn't recommend
loading images from the database that don't get changed...
And you can of course also use an
if-statement/switch-statement/in_array function in your image.php
script, like this:

$img = $_GET['img'];
if($img == "test_a.jpg" || $img == "test_b.jpg") {
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
}

OR:

$img = $_GET['img'];
switch($img) {
case "test_a.jpg":
case "test_b.jpg":
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
}

OR:

$img = $_GET['img'];
$noncached_images = array("test_a.jpg","test_b.jpg");
if(in_array($img,$noncached_images)) {
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
}

Re: [PHP] How to get stored procedure return values via PDO?

[Bruce Cowin]

I had a similar problem using PDO on MS Sql Server where I was trying to
return the id of an inserted row.  I ended up giving up and doing a
second query to get @@IDENTITY.


Regards,

Bruce

>>> Richard Davey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 27/07/2007 12:51 a.m. >>>
Hi,

I'm calling a MySQL Stored Procedure via PDO (PHP 5.2.3)

$stmt = $dbh->prepare('CALL forum_post(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, @status,
@thread_id, @message_id)');

At the moment in order to get the values of status, thread_id and
message_id I need to issue a second query:

$sql = "SELECT @status AS status, @thread_id AS thread_id, @message_id
AS message_id";

and then foreach my way through it:

foreach ($dbh->query($sql) as $row)
{
$status = $row['status'];
$thread_id = $row['thread_id'];
$message_id = $row['message_id'];
}

Which seems a bit insane.. is there no way to do a bindValue at the
same time as I do my bindParams?

Now I write this I really can't remember why I am even putting that
second query into a foreach loop, even so it's still a step I'd like
to remove entirely if possible?

Cheers,

Rich

The time on the machine is correct, and out of all of the date stamps in the
headers of the email are formed correctly based on the machines time/date,
(ie, everywhere else in the headers it adds the +1000 correctly) except in
the 1 main line

> Date: Day 00th Jan 2999 01:02:03 ?1000

Email programs (Wintendo based, and *nix based alike) generally have a hard
time with this Date header. Outlook and Outlook express just try and
interpret and guess what its supposed to mean (seemingly adding an extra 10
hours to the correct timestamp) and the *nix mail filter I came across
reported it as being a bad header.

My preferred way of doing it, and making sure its reloaded each time is to
do it this way... the U variable pretty much guarantees a random string each
time its loaded.

I know it's not specificly a fix to your problem but it might be the easiest

[PHP] Re: Malformed Email Date Header

[Dan]

Most likely it's the server's time/date problem.  Did you check to make sure 
that the time/date is in the correct timezone, etc?  I know this isn't 
really the right way to do it, but you could always just move the server's 
clock back 10 hours if it's really always 10 hours ahead of time.  You 
alternatively could also always use a different way of sending your mail for 
that server.  If you used PHPMailer http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ this 
allows you to connect to SMTP on a different machine to send email from an 
account.  This one is really tougher than I origionally thought.

Hi All,



Just a query I have which by the looks of my research into it online, 
still

exists on various installations around the world.



The websites I build for my clients are scattered over several hosting
servers, and I've noticed that one of them has an issue with the usage of
the mail() function.



The sever is running PHP Version 4.4.2 under Windows NT Server 5.2 build
3790.



Whenever I use mail() to send an email out via a website, it goes out not 
a

problem, but in the email program, the date received is around 10 hours
ahead. This causes my clients much grief, especially those who have 
shopping

carts and large numbers of emails and have the incoming emails listed all
out of order because of the future date stamp.



After digging into this somewhat, I had a friend of mine on a freebsd box
got me to email him from one of the scripts, and his *nix mail filtering
software hiccuped on the incoming message complaining that



X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER Non-encoded 8-bit data (char B8 hex): Date: 
Wed,

04

   Jul 2007 10:11:39 \2701000\n



Now, he sent me the headers of the email that he received, and the "Date: 
"

line in the headers was showing up as the following



Date: Wed, 04 Jul 2007 10:11:39 ?1000



With a ? before the 1000, which, but looking at all the other entries for
the date in the headers, they all appear with the correct +1000 in place.



Has anyone come across this or know of a reason why this is happening on
this particular server. I have other hosting accounts on other windows and
linux PHP boxes which do not have this issue. Just one this one server.

[PHP] Found the problem...

[Rob Adams]

Found the problem.  The piece of code was outside of a block where $db had 
been created, so it was a non-object the whole time... Easily fixed, but a 
hard error to find when I'm assuming it's my brand new class that's the 
problem.

Hi Nathan,

There really isn't much to explain about it other than the fact that
Apache will give you the raw user input that is sent to it in
REQUEST_URI.  Usually if a user is just clicking around it will be the
current page you are on.

Since we know that it will give us any user supplied value to it, we
can play around with those values by generating any sort of URL we
want.

If you create a file called blah.php and stick it in a web directory
somewhere then you might access it like this:

http://localhost/blah.php/?/hello

Here is the contents of blah.php:


Here is the output:
string '/blah.php/?/hello' (length=17)

A few other urls:
http://localhost/blah.php/sometext
http://localhost/blah.php/?/category-23/item-164

Results:
string '/blah.php/sometext' (length=18)
string '/blah.php/?/category-23/item-164' (length=32)

If you replace blah.php with an index.php then you can have a cleaner
URL at the cost of not being able to use the $_GET superglobal.  If we
were to try http://localhost/blah/somefile/111.jpg we would get a 404
error.  To get around this you can add a query string in the url and
it works again.  That is why you cannot use $_GET variables.  If you
create a /blah directory and place an index.php in there you can do
this:

http://localhost/blah/?/somefile/111.jpg

Output:
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']:  string '/blah/?/somefile/111.jpg' (length=24)
$_GET: array  '/somefile/111_jpg' => string '' (length=0)

So there are some tradeoffs with something like this.  It leads to a
cleaner url that you can easily parse with any preg_match.  I only use
it in specific instances where I know that I'm only going to need
something like the 12 and 2 from /gallery/category-12/item-2.

What are you talking about??? That has to be an artifice of Gmail (and other 
clients?) -- every single message I've seen in every one of those topics has 
the [PHP] marker, just not always in exactly the same place:

I think I can kinda see a logic in there to do with a combination of smart and 
dumb email clients, and when the PHP list server adds a [PHP] marker, but I 
leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure out what it is... ;)

Bottom line, the [PHP] marker *is* there on every message, and if you're not 
seeing it it's 'cos your client is (for whatever reason) stripping it.

 Good morning list,


 I have my form up and running but something is missing: if you omit
 required fields, the form returns an error like:
 please fill in ...
 please fill in...

 the error message is displayed above the form on the same page. The
 problem is that upon showing the error message, the fields already
 filled out, return blank so that the user has to fill everything in
 again.

 What i would like to have is that the data already filled out, is
 being saved when the error message kicks in so that the user doesn't
 have to start al over again.



The way that i generally handle this is to use a class. I instantiate an 
object when the page loads, whether the form has been submitted or not. 
Then, if it has been, i populate the object's values with the data 
that's been posted, doing whatever validating that is required. Once 
that has all been taken care of, the script checks to see if the object 
has any errors set. If not, it then persists the data to the database 
(or whatever is required).


If there are errors, i display the form again. However, this time the 
object has values filled in. Thus, i can use form elements like so:




Because i've instantiated the class even on the initial page load, the 
getFoo() method simply returns NULL the first time. Another benefit is 
that you can have default values for the class that the object will 
populate the form with.


Also, you can set the error messages in the class, so the object can 
display them at the proper place:


-- snip --
hasError())
{
?>
  There was an error with the submission. See below.


...


  name

  first name
  

  getError('first_name') ?>


-- snip --

So, if the object's error array has something for the key 'first_name', 
an error is returned. If not, NULL is returned.


In any case, no session is required.

why are you suppressing error messages??

@readfile($Filename);



http://php.net/readfile

"Reads a file and writes it to the output buffer.

"Returns the number of bytes read from the file. If an error occurs, 
FALSE is returned and unless the function was called as @readfile(), 
an error message is printed."


I figured that in the case of an image it would make more sense to 
download a FALSE value to the browser than a text error 
message.  During development & debugging phases error messages are 
invaluable, but after publication some circumstances dictate no 
display rather than display of a message.  Since the OP was looking 
for a solution that obfuscated the image URL, I thought the less 
techy information communicated to the user the better.


Richard Heyes' suggestion of using passthru() might work better if it 
can be used with a mixture of content types on the same page.


And, yes, heredoc is definitely a matter of taste.  In my own work, 
its disadvantage (hugging left margin) is outweighed by its 
advantages (separation of logic from data/template/output, omission 
of escape codes except the occasional {}, fewer typographical errors, 
faster proofreading, etc.).  I don't feel the need to convince anyone 
else to use heredoc, but I'm totally sold on it myself.

It should be pointed out that you can't really hide the real URL of 
your images.  If an image appears in a browser, the browser will 
accurately report its location to the user, and the user can save it 
to their hard drive.


If you're in a situation in which you're trying to avoid people 
downloading images without permission, your best bets might be to 
watermark, crop, low-res-ify, or otherwise disfigure the displayed 
images to make them less attractive than the originals.

If you use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] you can do all sorts of interesting
things.

Say for instance you create a directory at the root of your site
called /images and put an index.php in there.  Then inside of that
index.php you can parse the REQUEST_URI against some settings you'd
like and create your own sort of mod_rewrite rules out of it.

Here is an example:


You can translate that  to your image via a database call such as
SELECT imagename FROM hiddenimages WHERE id =  or whatever you
want.  People can still directly link to your images using this
technique.

Given that, you might also reconsider why you are hiding your image
filenames.  Are you trying to protect them from unauthorized viewing?
If that is the case you can use the real filenames, but pass them
through a script that checks for a session set to you know that only
authenticated users can see them.

From the 18 USD, they payed me the proofreader and helped me to get
better layout.

And yes, if the book is sold over the normal bookstores I will earn
around 2 USD, but, - since I am using BOD, - I can sell the book my
own which mean, if I sell it for the same price, I earn 5-6 USD.

BUT, I have to pay the distribution and administration for it.

Java is just a specialized DOM... in my opinion.

Where did you get this weird idea... JAVA by itself has nothing to do 
with the web or documents... It's commonly used to perform such tasks, 
but it's not the "purpose" of the language. You could as well say that 
PHP is just a specialized email-form language, which would also be not 
quite right.

[PHP] Hide the real URL

[elk dolk]

Hi all,

I want to hide the real URL to my images by masking it with PHP
the code looks like this:

$query = "SELECT * FROM table";
$result=mysql_query($query);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "";
}

if you look at the source in browser you will see:



how can I show it like this:

Now I write this I really can't remember why I am even putting that

to remove entirely if possible?

From: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo.php

Example 1716. Calling a stored procedure with an input/output parameter
prepare("CALL sp_takes_string_returns_string(?)");
$value = 'hello';
$stmt->bindParam(1, $value, PDO::PARAM_STR|PDO::PARAM_INPUT_OUTPUT, 4000);

Err.. ORDER BY comes at the END of your query, not the start.

SELECT * FROM blah WHERE blahblah ORDER BY y ASC LIMIT x,y

[PHP] DOM

[Man-wai Chang]

Out of curiosity, is there any effort in creating a new DOM that's
easier for application builders (something like Visual Foxpro)?

Does Web 2.0 or maybe 3.0 offer some new  types, say something
like a real grid, or maybe a modal child popup?

[PHP] query not working properly

[Joey B]

Hi everyone,
I'mt trying to do the below query which itself works correctly, but when I
add a order by statement just bombs.

   $query = "select * from articles where ( {$now} BETWEEN startdate
AND enddate) and categoryid = 1 limit 0,3";



$query = "select * from articles order by startdate asc where (
{$now} BETWEEN startdate AND enddate) and categoryid = 1 limit 0,3";

This one just doesn't work, can you tell me what I have done wrong??



Thanks

JavaScript (The main part of AJAX) runs on the client. Using AJAX you 
can have it call stuff on your server, but mainly it is client side only.

[PHP] Sessions?

[Luc]

 Good morning list,

 I have my form up and running but something is missing: if you omit
 required fields, the form returns an error like:
 please fill in ...
 please fill in...

 the error message is displayed above the form on the same page. The
 problem is that upon showing the error message, the fields already
 filled out, return blank so that the user has to fill everything in
 again.

 What i would like to have is that the data already filled out, is
 being saved when the error message kicks in so that the user doesn't
 have to start al over again.

 Am i right in assuming this is done with a session, and if so how
 would i do that?

 here's my script:

$contact_form_action = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if ((isset($_POST["sendcontact"])) && ($_POST["sendcontact"] == "contactsent")) 
{
$contacter_form_error = array();
if (empty($_POST['empresa_name'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher nome da empresa';
}
if (empty($_POST['contato_name'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher nome do contato';
}
if (empty($_POST['fone'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher número do telefone';
}
if (empty($_POST['contato_email'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher seu e-mail';
}
if (empty($_POST['produto'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher o produto';
}
if (empty($_POST['origem'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher origem';
}
if (empty($_POST['destino'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher destino';
}
if (empty($_POST['quantidade'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher quantidade';
}
if (empty($_POST['peso'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher peso';
}
if (empty($_POST['comprimento'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher comprimento';
}
if (empty($_POST['altura'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher altura';
}
if (empty($_POST['largura'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'favor preencher largura';
}
else {
$empresa_name = stripslashes($_POST['empresa_name']);
$contato_email = stripslashes($_POST['contato_email']);

$body =<<
// Print form field errors if present
if (count($contacter_form_error)>0){
print 'Algo está errado:'."\n";
print ''."\n";
foreach($contacter_form_error as $form_err) {
print "$form_err\n";
}
print ''."\n";
}

Well I managed to convince the Irish domain people to let me register
guthr.ie which I think is pretty cool. Means I can create an email
address that is literally just my name with an at sign and a dot thrown
in! Also means that I can setup email addresses and websites for my
family pretty easily :)

On the downside, as I use the domain quite a lot for numerous things, I
now find it quite hard to write (type) my lastname /without/ the dot in
it!! So my legacy will be to name any offspring with the dot in place on
their birth certificate to avoid any hassle :p
