Am I missing something fundamental here? If you are using PHP as a standalone tool there is no problem with this. On the other hand, if you do web development, then you do not usually write to files. You use database. If there is something you absolutely HAVE to write to file, then you can use /tmp directory for that purposes. -- Best regards, Leonid Mamtchenkov, RHCE System Administrator Francoudi & Stephanou Ltd.

I'd bet that 24807 is your oid. Check the difference between
"SELECT * FROM table;" and "SELECT oid,* FROM table;".

There is a similar one for postgresql as well: pg_last_oid() .

Re: [PHP] Mail system with folders?

I think you should investigate more on the subject of "web mail" if that is what you need to do. Usually, php (or any other language) is used to create an interface for an operational mail server, which can be accessed via IMAP. You can find lots of examples at http://www.freshmeat.net or any other software repository. Do not reinvent the wheel. ;) -- Best regards, Leonid Mamtchenkov, RHCE System Administrator Francoudi & Stephanou Ltd. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
