[PHP] PHP SMTP Mailers
Hi, I'm executing a third-parity standard PHP application on a Windows IIS 7 shared hosting server. I need to convert, or use, a SMTP mailer service. I found two SMTP PHP scripts - I think may work. The sourceforge.net PHPMailer project and the pear.php.net (Mail, Net_SMTP) project. Can any body please help me choose one and probably give a code snip of useage? Currently, I'm leaning forward the PHPMailer, with little to base the decision on.

[PHP] no svn checkout of the current PHP development repo?
just for fun, i figured i'd check out the current PHP development stream. however, if you read the web page here: http://php.net/svn.php there's no mention of the "trunk", simply references to branches such as 5.2 and 5.3. i popped over to: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/ and, sure enough, there's no "trunk" directory. am i just missing something? because if i click on the "PHP 6" link up there on the right (which represents exactly what i'd expect for the URL of the trunk), bad things happen: An Exception Has Occurred Unknown location: /php/php-src/trunk HTTP Response Status 404 Not Found thoughts? i'll assume this is just a temporary thing but, in any event, if the trunk is normally available, the PHP svn page should really mention it explicitly, not just the 5.x branches. rday -- Robert P.

Hi, how do I upgrade GD? PHP still comes bundled with the three year old version 2.0.34, even though there have been lots of bugfixes in 2.0.35 and 2.0.36 (most importantly, 2.0.36 now actually supports unicode text, rather than "any unicode text as long as it's only UCS-2", which means any unicode using blocks introduced after 3.1 don't work).

[PHP] blog design issue...
I know you are all probably thinking "What does this have to do with PHP?" and in reality... It's probably stretching it a little bit... BUT I am in the process of writing a blog software (Yes I'm aware of all the open source, and paid stuff out there... I'm doing this to learn :)) I am looking at adding "categories" to my blog posts so I can organize my drivel into something that looks somewhat professional, or at the very least, organized so you can filter out all the crap... What I'm wondering about though, is would it be better from a database design stand point to do a database field for "categories" and then in there put "Personal", "Business", "Crap I found funny" Basically 1 database field for all the categories I decide to use. OR should I go the other route and do 1 database field for each category? This is going to be a small blog to start, but I guess I should always be looking at performance, security, & maintainability right? I did read the post that tedd put up about looking at storing variables differently and am considering going that route... But just wanted to know what you all think :) Oh I'm also not expecting to have more then 4 or 5 categories at the most Unless I release the blog to the public and take wordpress down :P So any help would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks yall!

That way, you can add new categories easily later, pull out records quickly by category and update category labels easily at any time. This also allows you to develop the blog further in the future and allow a blog post to have more than one category by introducing a third table for category links, which can store blog post id's with the category id's.

Internally MySQL uses numbers (a bit mask IIRC) for them. Though you will be limited to 32 categories. Eg: Categories table: ID Name 1 Personal 2 Business 4 Crap I found funny Articles table: ID Title Category === 1 My first blog entry 1 2 A joke from work6 3 A joke from home 5 4 A joke 4 The numbers are bitwise sums of the corresponding category IDs. eg.4&2=6. I think. MySQL has some built in functions for dealing with sets, like FIND_IN_SET() IIRC, which make life a lot easier. -- Richard Heyes HTML5 canvas graphing: RGraph - http://www.rgraph.net (updated 13th March) Lots of PHP and Javascript code - http://www.phpguru.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Jason Pruim Jason: Basically whatever everyone else said, namely use a table to record every category you may want and that practice provides: 1) Expansion; You may want to add additional categories and adding it in one table makes sense over adding it to one, or more, selection controls you may have across your web site. 2) Changing the name of any category. You may find later (after hundreds of blog entires) that the category "Crap I found funny" has just been reviewed by your boss, wife, or mother-in-law and they have demanded that you change it to something more appropriate (according to them). If you used a table, then it's a simple matter to change it over hundred's of post. However, if you didn't, then you have a lot of work to do. Another consideration. I have a sort-of blog entry script I add to any page on my site where I want people to comment (see http://sperling.com/examples/new-menuh/ for an example). The coding to add this feature is a simple one line include statement. The included script looks at the page where it has been placed and creates a space for that page's related comments in the database. After which, whenever that page is loaded, the script calls out the appropriate entries and displays them. The entire process is automagical. The point I'm trying to express here is one of creating a script that doesn't require any customization for use. This is just food for thought when thinking about how to do this.

Are you checking to see if the post variable is set in the code that handles
saving the form values to session variables? I can't tell if you're doing
this from the code you provided. If not, it's possible that when you are
returning to one of the earlier pages, you're attempting to again save the
form values even though the corresponding $_POST vars are empty. This would
cause visiting page 2 to essentially delete the data previously posted from
page 1.
Using your example:
// Only save if post variable present, which means
if (isset($_POST['lend_fname']))
{
$_SESSION['lend_fname']=stripslashes($_POST['lend_fname']);
}
Also, some users will likely click the back button during the process, which
brings up a funky message. You might try building one page that is
dedicated to saving all of the session variables, which then redirects to
the corresponding next page in the process.

Thank you for your reply.
""Are you checking to see if the post variable is set in the code that
handles saving the form values to session variables? ""
No, I not done anything about the post variable, frankly I thought the
session variable would cover it. I tried your code
if (isset($_POST['lend_fname'])){
$_SESSION['lend_fname']=stripslashes($_POST['lend_fname']);
}
And it seems to work fine, the data seems to stay. Is there an easier method
(perhaps putting the post or session variables into an array?
Again thank you for your reply and your solution.

Re: [PHP] Re: Pulling my hair out over an include_once();
Hi, As the error says, this is a problem with the server configuration. In your php.ini file, allow_url_include should be enabled. As an alternative, if you have allow_url_include off, but allow_url_fopen on, you can file_get_contents() that URL and eval() it. Keep in mind you need *absolute* trust that the URL won't serve malicious PHP code, or change and break your site. If you need to run this code, it's a lot better to save the file from your browser and store it with your site, then include it locally. It'll be also faster this way.

Re: [PHP] Pulling my hair out over an include_once();
is this file you need on your local server or truely on another machine? and if it's on another machine, why do you need to include() it from there? why not make a local copy as was suggested earlier? there are many reasons not to include php scripts off other servers, esp if the servers involved are not in the same building.

Grabbing a PHP file from a remote source for parsing is a bad idea in terms of security, so hopefully that's not what you're doing.

ya, sorry i diden't specify, i'm trying to build a simple RSS (haha, fat
chance it being simple, right?) reader for a site to import an ebay RSS feed
and desplay the contense. I'm using Magpie to accomplish it. also, you'll be
glad to know that your fix worked like a charm, all i need to do now is
limit the number of results and orginize all of the data returned (images
and such). my only curiousity about this now is what is up with that file
path why woulden't using the URL work?

Because of the potential security issues, the option to supply URL's is
often not enabled:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.allow-url-fopen
Most of the time you can just look at your error messages when an include
doesn't work on your server to figure out what the local path should be.

Nephtali: PHP web framework that functions beautifully
http://nephtaliproject.com
Re: [PHP] Re: Pulling my hair out over an include_once();
cool.
tip: if you're gonna use libs like magpie, in 1 or more projects on a
webserver, i'd put it in htdocs/lib/magpie-x.y.z,
(x.y.z=versionnumber), then require_once('/lib/magpie-x.y.z/[magpie
top include script.inc]') it at the top of
htdocs/projectName/index.php or if it's only to be used in a specific
function of the website, at the top of where-ever the code
handles(starts) that function.
an alternative is htdocs/projectName/lib/magpie-x.y.z
it's not necessary to do it this way, but it does provide faster
management of libs and a decrease in bug-count.

Hi,
As the error says, this is a problem with the server configuration.
In your php.ini file, allow_url_include should be enabled.
As an alternative, if you have allow_url_include off, but allow_url_fopen
on, you can file_get_contents() that URL and eval() it.
Keep in mind you need *absolute* trust that the URL won't serve malicious
PHP code, or change and break your site. If you need to run this code, it's
a lot better to save the file from your browser and store it with your
site,
then include it locally. It'll be also faster this way.

Stan Vassilev
