Postfix is meant to function almost identically to sendmail, and usually has its own sendmail command which calls postfix. However, if you don't configure postfix properly, it won't work properly.

[PHP] PHP imap_open login delay (Cyrus IMAP)
Hello, I would like to ask you a question about the PHP imap_open call. I have an issue with imap_open producing an unreasonable delay when logging into the Cyrus IMAP server. The delay is exactly 5 seconds and it is constant across different connections. 1 0.00 TCP 40496 imap [SYN] Seq=0 Win=5840 Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=5166 TSER=0 WS=6 2 0.588600 TCP imap 40496 [SYN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1 Win=5792 Len=0 MSS=1350 TSV=3543919597 TSER=5166 WS=6 3 0.588659 TCP 40496 imap [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=1 Win=5888 Len=0 TSV=5225 TSER=3543919597 4 0.597507 IMAP Response: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID STARTTLS] Cyrus IMAP v2.3.14 server ready 5 0.597527 TCP 40496 imap [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=127 Win=5888 Len=0 TSV=5226 TSER=3543919613 6 5.643035 IMAP Request: LOGIN username password 7 5.750195 TCP imap 40496 [ACK] Seq=127 Ack=35 Win=5824 Len=0 TSV=3543924696 TSER=5731 8 5.945506 IMAP Response: OK ... The Cyrus IMAP server is working fine and responds without delay to non-PHP logins. On the other hand, when imap_open is called for Courier IMAP server, there is no 5 seconds delay and PHP logins proceed smoothly. The code I am using for PHP imap_open is ?php $host = {10.10.10.10:143/notls}; imap_open($host.mb_convert_encoding(INBOX, 'UTF7-IMAP','UTF-8'),username,password); ? I am new to PHP and would be much grateful to receive pointers for debugging this issue. Thank you!

Re: [PHP] replying to list
Hi, I think the problem or the bad form, if you will, is using reply-all. All you need to do is hit reply and it should just send a message back to the list. Everyone gets the list messages. If the reply-to is not set, type in the list email in the to and the reply-to in your message and that should set the stage for a reply-to to be present in the thread. I for one don't know how many email duplicates I have had to delete because someone hit reply-all. Gets messy on big threads, but I manage. Be nice if that wasn't so. :) Best, Karl On Apr 21, 2010, at 4:36 AM, Ashley Sheridan wrote: On Wed, 2010-04-21 at 05:23 -0400, David McGlone wrote: Why is the list set up to reply to the OP and not the list? -- Blessings, David M.

The reply to all sends 2 e-mails, one to the list, and one to the OP, just like I did with this message. Now you are going to get 2 of these messages but if the list was set up differently, then when hitting the reply button, it would automatically send directly to the list and not the OP.

Not really i think, because by replying it just direct reply to the OP, while other systems like google groups for example by replying you just post to the list, and actually make more sense. the easy way is to hit reply and change the to into php-general@lists.php.net or reply to all and replace to with the cc.

[PHP] replying to list (I give up)
I give up. trying to reply to messages on this list is tedious. I can't pinpoint whether it's because the list is set up to make replies go to the OP or the OP has his reply-to in his mail client set, or most people are hitting the reply-to button instead of simply reply. It just doesn't make sense to me, why be on the mailing list if it hinders having a group discussion without having to jump through hurdles. It also defeats the purpose of being on a group list if replying sends the reply to the OP.

I for one don't know how many email duplicates I have had to delete because someone hit reply-all. Gets messy on big threads, but I manage. Be nice if that wasn't so. :) I like the reply-all option.

First, he still references RFC822 a year and a half after it was superseded by RFC2822. So he is already out of step with reality. (RFC2822 was itself superseded by RFC5322 on Oct 1, 2008.) Second, I don't agree with his definition of a reasonable mailer. He recommends several processes that do not sound at all reasonable to me. But I have only been using email for 27 years, so what do I know. Third, and most importantly, he obviously had never dealt with a PHB that required him to use a specific OS, mail client and servers that by design will never be reasonable by anybody's definition. Many of us simply don't get a choice. I just did a quick check of the half dozen mailing lists I subscribe to here at work, and they are split 50/50 on whether Reply goes back to the list or the OP.

Sure, you can always Reply All but then you get multiple replies from the same person to the same post. Plus, it is really easy to forget. In my opinion, it is idiotic.

If it's that you're retrieving from the DB and getting Array as the output, then it could be that you're using string functions on an array. However, as you said images are displaying, I don't think that's the case. Maybe some of the fields in the DB have a string literal of 'Array' as their value?

Figuring out how to reply properly to this list was the first step, now the next step is figuring out if I can deal with it or not. I've decided to stay for a couple reasons, for one, everybody on this list didn't once get mean or hateful during this whole discussion. That flabbergasted me, because on a lot of lists I am on, quite a few people on those lists would have instantly jumped down my throat. Secondly, Everyone on this list that I have seen ask questions and give advise are darn good programmers, so in order to be in the company of people like this, then changing my habits shouldn't be hard. The reason for the subject change was because I feared I was going to start a flame war, so I was going to back down and just forget I mentioned it. -- Blessings, David M. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I can't pinpoint whether it's because the list is set up to make replies go to the OP or the OP has his reply-to in his mail client set, or most people are hitting the reply-to button instead of simply reply. Then get a better email client if yours doesn't support reply to all or reply to group. It's hardly the mailing list's fault that your client doesn't support that. My email client does support reply to all, but it's IMHO inconsiderate. Think about people that have to pay for every Mb they download. reply to all causes these people to have to pay for duplicates. Now if somebody on this list was paying for their downloads, then you and I am costing them money by using reply to all and now there are 2 duplicate messages for them the download. How would you feel if this was you? -- Blessings, David M. Did you read the link that David Robley sent on the original thread you made? http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html What you're proposing would cause a lot of problems for the sake of a few people. And I hardly think that a few emails are going to cause a bandwidth issue for anybody. If bandwidth was such an issue, they'd be using an email client that only downloaded the email headers first, and from there you could easily discern the duplicate messages. Except it wouldn't cause a lot of problems, now would it? As you've heard from quite a few others, many mailing lists work using the 'reply-to' ... and have happy users. Most of the points in the doc you posted a link to are viewpoints from someone that's used to one thing and hates the idea of things changing - whether or not it makes life easier (the It makes things break for instance ... calling replying to the list instead of the OP a break is rather farfetched unless you've stared at something you hate for so long you've become blinded byt it. Then there's the Freedom of choice: well, where's my freedom of choice? I can't use 'reply' as I want to, so it's effectively reduced *my* freedom). Quick guess is by now, the majority of people clicking reply *mean* to reply to the list but in effect reply to the OP. Using reply-to would help these people. Anyone using reply-all would see no difference. So when you're advocating that many subscribers should ditch their email client and install Evolution instead of having *one* email list have it's settings changed a bit ... I start to wonder if you've considered things from both sides.

The form you have is sending an actual array, but the insert statement can only insert a single string. The string of the array is, as you've found out, 'Array'. Consider normalising the DB and having a keywords table with 3 fields: id, image_id, keyword. Then each entry in the keywords table would be a keyword, linked by image_id. You'll also need to change your images table to include an id by which you can reference each image individually and index by. Lastly, be very careful of your insert statements. The way things stand, it would be easy for someone to maliciously enter their own statements. Use something like mysql_real_escape_string() to protect against MySQL attacks.

So far so good. When you construct your SQL statement, you are trying to put the array into a string ... Unfortunately, an handling an array like that will result in the array becoming the text ... Array e.g. ?php $a = array(1,2,3); $b = $a $a $a; echo $b; ? outputs ... Array Array Array So, either you need to store the keywords in a separate table and link it to the main table by some sort of ID, or convert the array to a string. You could use something like ... $keywords = implode(\t, $_POST['keyword']); to produce a tab separated list of keywords. You could use a comma (',') as the separator, but if any keyword contains a comma (unlikely, but thinking ahead, keywords COULD be keyphrases), then the comma becomes a separator on the way out. Or you could serialize the array if you weren't interested in processing it in the DB. $keywords = serialize($_POST['keyword']); On the way out of the DB, you would use ... $keywords = explode('\t', $row['keywords

Much unnecessary work when an admin could set a reply-to and all would be solved. With all due respect, if I was going to go through all that trouble just so I could hit reply instead of reply-all or reply-list or reply- group, I would write an email list program that discussed PHP (in PHP) and I would set the reply-to to go to my list email. :) Not to mention, the admin can set all of them to go to the list email. reply-to reply-list reply-group They just have to set the headers to point there. Much easier than what was suggested. That aside, I think David was just wondering why it was set up that way in the first part. More a question for a admin, then the list, but it is on the list none the less. I would have sent that one to the Admin directly. It is curious though, why the admin of the PHP lists depend on special case scenarios such as reply-list or reply-group. To me, thats kind of like saying you can only click buttons on our website if you use Internet Explorer. Everyone else has to view the source and copy the urls to navigate.

Re: [PHP] Mail Function Using PEAR Issues
you have to install the net_smtp package, simply with this command: $ pear install net_smtp-1.4.2 (which will explicitly install version 1.4.2 of Net_SMTP) If that doesn't work. for whatever reason, you could download the package manually from http://pear.php.net/package/Net_SMTP/download and install it by hand; though for reasons I've outlined in a previous post to this list I'd suggest you use the pear installer.
