Oh.. I'd like a flat-screen monitor that would interpret the program that I
have in my mind, generate the code for it on screen, save it and run the
program everytime I say "KaBoom".

I'd like a side-order of that IDE that will let me speak code into it as
well.. 

And a bag of Spicier Doritos!! Can't get enough of those.

Thanks,

Re: [PHP] Re: [PHP Attachement Problems - MAC ISSUE!!

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

One more thing I'd like to point out, which I just discovered. The php code
I was using earlier, prior to using Manuel's mail class... Was not able to
send any kind of attachment except .txt files. Niether images nor pdf nor
anything would go through without being corrupted.

However, using Manuel's class, the images are going through attached
properly, without being corrupted. The PDF files still give the error that
the file size & read size isn't the same, but text and image attachments are
going through.

Re: [PHP] Re: [PHP Attachement Problems - MAC ISSUE!!

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

Manuel...

I saved the new email_message.php class that you sent me replacing the old
one. I used the test_attachment_message.php to test the new class. This time
it didn't send the email with the corrupted attachments, instead, gave me an
error on the screen... This is the error that I received:

³Error: the length of the file that was read does not match the size of the
part file CarsContract-Generic.pdf due to possible data corruption²

I understand now that garbage characters are being inserted by PHP in the
attachment files. Which is why also the other day when I tried your little
php code, it gave Size 35823 but Read 36704 with the additional garbage
characters added. Unfortunately, I think with the new class too, the same is
happening, as per the error. Only this time it is actually giving the error
instead of sending the corrupted file.

Please advice what I can do next... I¹m looking into the Mac compatibility
issue everywhere but I don¹t see anywhere anyone else complaining about such
a thing.

Thanks again,
Junkie

Re: [PHP] Upload problems

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

What's the upload_max_filesize  set to in your php.ini ? Under "File
Uploads" in the php.ini, you will find this value.

Ave,

I replaced the code and added my PDF file in the required place, and this is
what it displays now:

Size 35823 Read 36704

I'll put in your address and send out the mail your way with the PDF
attachment using the class script.

Manuel,

Really appreciate your help.

I created a new empty php file and put your given code in it. Upon running
the test.php in my browser, it prints exactly this in my browser:

could not open file

I have a PowerMac G5 Machine, with MacOS X. I have PHP 5 installed from
entropy.ch and have the in-built Apache Web Server. Also, the MacOS X ships
with Postfix Mail Server and I used the Postfix Enabler to configure it. So
I use the Postfix Mail Server.

Re: [PHP] Re: [PHP Attachement Problems - MAC ISSUE!!

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

On a hunch.. I uploaded my original php script AND the php mime class to a
normal linux server with Apache web server... And all the scripts are
running fine! The PDF attachments go through fine.

So I finally found out.. It's a MAC issue! Using my scripts on the MAC
server is causing the problem. My problem however is, I have to use the MAC
and not a linux or windows or whatever. So what do I do now? How do I make
these scripts work fine on a MAC ??

Thanks,
Junkie

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP Attachement Problems

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

I just tried your php mime class. I tried the test_attachment_message file.
It did the same to the pdf attachment.

Initially, it tested with a text and an image. The text attachment opened
without a problem but the image was giving an error in opening. I left the
text file attachment as is and attached my pdf file .. And it gave the same
error in opening.

At this point I'm inclined to believe that any kind of php attachment script
is sending through any Text Attachment but not any other kind of attachment.

I'm running an Apache Web Server on a Mac... Would that make a difference?

Junkie.

Re: [PHP] Can anyone help me with Attachments?

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

The text file went through fine! Absolutely perfect... I attached a normal
text file with just one sentence. I sent it and it arrived in my mailbox
without any problems.. It opened and it had the sentence.. And no warnings
or errors.

Using my code, I'm able to send the HTML mail with 2 attachments. Everything
is fine except that the pdf attachments are just blank and corrupted. One
thing I would like to point out is that I'm only trying to send PDF files.
The purpose of my code is to send PDF files only, not any other type.


Here's my code.. 

This is the form to gather data:

 method=post
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" name="f1" id="f1" >

  
From

From

To
(Email):

  
  
Subject:

  
  
Attachment
1 

  
  
Attachment
2 

  



  


And this is the PHP Code that handles the mail & attachment:

Test";
 $message_html = stripslashes($message_html);
 $message_text = "Informed Sources Inc.";
 $m = new CMIMEMail("$to_nameF $to_nameL <$to>","$from_name
<$from>",$subject);
 $m->mailbody($message_text, $message_html);
 if( $file1) {
 $m->attachFile_raw($file1,$file1_name,$file1_type);
 };
 if( $file2) {
 $m->attachFile_raw($file2,$file2_name,$file2_type);
 };
 $m->send();
?>

Ave,

Exactly, that's the problem. I can very well see the binary information in
the attached PDF in a text editor ... But when I open it in Adobe... The
file does open, it's just that it's all blank. White pages. All wiped off.
All information erased!!

[PHP] Attaching 2 files in Mail

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

I'm facing a little problem.
I have this code which enables me to attach a file and send the file as an
attachment with the Mail.

What I need to do is slightly different.

Firstly, I want to send 2 files as attachment, and not one. Secondly, I
don't want the user to select & attach the file, I want the files to be
already attached in the script. I.e., 2 pre-determined, pre-attached files
should go along with the script.

Here's the code I am using thus far for attaching 1 file...
Can anyone suggest what I should do differently?

If ($emailto=="") {
$error = "1";
$error_text .= "You did not enter your email!";
}

If ($emailto) {
If 
(!eregi("^([a-z0-9_]|\\-|\\.)+@(([a-z0-9_]|\\-)+\\.)+[a-z]{2,4}\$",$emailto)
){
$error = "1";
$error_text .= "Invalid Email Address!";
}
}


If($allowattach) {

foreach($allowtypes as $it) {
$types .="*.".$it.",";
}

If($attachment) {
$ext=get_ext($_FILES[attachment][name]);
If(!in_array($ext, $allowtypes)) {
$error = "1";

only ".$types." are allowed!";
}
}
}

If($error=="1") {

$disperrors=$error_text;

[PHP] mysql_num_rows()

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

In one of my scripts, I'm getting the error:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result

I¹m not clearly sure why. I¹m running PHP5 with mySQL 4 ... Is there a
compatibility issues somewhere?

Re: [PHP] File Download Problems

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

I made a change last evening, and since the change.. It seems to be working
fine. Thus far I haven't had the 1 KB downloaded file problem. I have been
trying all evening and this morning, from different places, and somehow
right now it seems to be working fine.

What I simply did was this:

Instead of 




As my link to the download file, I changed it to



And changed the code in the download file to

 

I didn¹t need to send the ID var to the download file, and I condensed the
number of Variables I was passing.

Somehow this seems to be working for me. I was just trying this out to one
by one eliminate possibilities. And it works.Since I made this change, the
actual file is being downloaded and not the 1 KB file.
I don¹t really know why though. I understand I didn¹t need to divide the
path into 2 variables. But what if I really needed to send the ID variable?
I don¹t exactly understand how this setup of Variables affected the file
being downloaded.

Thanks anyways.

[PHP] File Download Problems

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

I've been having a very nagging and frustrating problem for a while and I
hope someone can help me out with this.

I created a simple File Manager application, a lot of you already know about
it as you helped me with coding at different stages.

The problem is this: The Download.
When you download a file, it's giving problems sometimes. What is happening
is, a 1 KB file downloads instead of the actual file. And thus the file
downloaded is no good. The file uploaded is absolutely perfect. Since I have
the web server which contains this website, I'm easily able to check all
these things. When a user uploads a file, it's uploaded absolutely perfect.
It's not a 1 KB file.. The whole file is uploaded and it's not corrupt. But
when a user downloads the file... Most of the time a 1 KB file is
downloaded.. And its' corrupt of course.

The more frustrating part is, it happens sometimes.. Not everytime. It is
happening 90% of the time.. But sometimes it is able to download the actual
file. If you try the same file from different locations, 15 times... 1 out
of 15 times the file will download fine.

I've been doing all sorts of testing to narrow down the problem but I don't
know the problem. 

This is my download script :

 

Which is called using this link on the main page:




I know that my Upload is working excellent so there's no point going into
it. I check the file once it's uploaded on my Server and I find it's
absolutely perfect... I try and download the same file using the same
applications and it gets corrupted.

I don't' know what to do. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

[PHP] Checking file_exists()

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

I have a simple file upload form, which uploads without a problem.
Today I added the file_exists() function to my PHP code. And everything
stopped working. What am I doing wrong here:

File $img1_name uploaded to $PHP_login
folder.";
}
}
?>

I'm not getting any errors (for some reason I don't on my MAC browser, just
a blank white page whenever PHP doesn't work).

Thanks.

Re: [PHP] importing DBF data into mysql

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

It was the permissions issue. Although even before I used the script, I knew
permissions would play a role so I had set the permissions appropriately.
Unfortunately I didn't set them for an enclosed folder where I was storing
the DBF file. 

Anyhow, it's working now... Thanks a ton!

This is undoubtedly exactly what I was looking for. What I don't understand
is why its' not converting my DBF file. It gives a "Could not read File"
error. It reads the dbf file that came with the script. I'm still trying to

[PHP] importing DBF data into mysql

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

Is there a PHP script that is able to import or convert DBF data into mySQL
tables? 

I need to get my DBF data into mySQL and PHPMyAdmin couldn't handle it.
Another problem I have is I'm running a MAC OS X... There is a very simple
and efficient DBF2MYSQL program for windows but not for MAC.

I did see somewhere a PHP script that could do it, but I don't know where.

Re: [PHP] Closing my Window after Download

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

Oh My Gosh! You did it!! Gosh! I can't believe you solved it.
And well, I don't know when this was "explained" to everyone but if you
actually search the internet and try and lookup what I was trying to do,
you'll find, as I found, a lot, and I mean a "LOT" of people with the exact
same problem... Because everybody tries to window.open() the page with the
force-download script. Yes your logic made sense to me as soon as I read it,
and I had no doubts it will work. I almost said to myself "how dumb could I
be" because it was such a simple logical issue. But unfortunately, trust me,
it has NOT been explained to "everyone". I even came across people who are
using frames and some kind of JS to close to open window. I couldn't use
that solution so I passed it.

But anyhow, thanks a ton, I needed this real bad and now that I got it I
feel stupid that I didn't make this sense myself. But then again, once in a
while you need a hit on the head with a mallet just like this.

Thank you so much.

PHPJunkie.

Re: [PHP] Closing my Window after Download

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

Which page do you give this code in?
For example, I have a page admin.php  Therein is the link on which, when
a user clicks, a window "admin_dl.php" opens. The "admin_dl.php" contains my
force-download code and it is that window that I'm trying to close.

If I specify this following code in admin.php itself, would it work?
Admin.php does contain a lot of other stuff too.

I didn't quite understand what you meant.
The kind of files being saved by this script range from ZIP files to DBF

Any suggestions on what I need to do to make this work?

Re: [PHP] Closing my Window after Download

Ave,

I hear you... Even I feel it's a different problem but I don't know what.
My first thought was that HTML or anything doesn't work after the
Force-Download script in general But since you seem to use it, I guess
it does.

Now I don't know what to do, how to make it work. I can't understand what
exactly is causing the problem.

Thanks though.

Re: [PHP] Closing my Window after Download

Ave,

It still doesn't work. Not only that, I put up a "close window" button in
the page and even that doesn't show up. Although that's still not what I
want. What I want is the window to close automatically.

Here's my page:

 


D/L Window

function close_opener()
 {
 parentwin = window.self;   // Make handle for
current window named "parentwin"
 parentwin.opener = window.self;// Tell current window
that it opened itself
 parentwin.close(); // Close window's parent
(e.g. the current window)
 }







I don't know what to do... The page just won't close.

Thanks a ton... And this is exactly what I figured I need to do. Someone

Re: [PHP] sharing records with assigned users

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

Jay..
Firstly thanks a lot for the tips. I appreciate that and in fact I do try to
go methodically in most cases, even using the pen & paper to create my flow
charts and diagrams of what I'm about to program. I actually love that
method of designing an application.

In fact, for this Phonebook application as well, right here in front of me
is the piece of paper in which I've tried to draw the different modules,
their behaviors and the functions which I will need to create in order to
make this application work intelligibly.

Coming back again to my problem..
If, in the table I'm storing my records, I create a field which stores the
Users allowed access to that particular record, then in case of multiple
users, that single field will hold multiple user names... Which is a problem
for me. And I might be applying a very wrong approach, logically, which is
why I came forward for some assistance.

Thanks again.

[PHP] sharing records with assigned users

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

I'm working on a Phonebook Application for my company. Much of it's
functions and application are pretty much clear and workable for me. But
there's one aspect which I'm trying to figure out.

It's a multi-user application where there's 2 kinds of users... Admin &
User.

The User can only view, add, edit, browse through his own records.
Each user does get a public & private option, wherein the user can make the
record either private, so only he can see it, or public which anybody can
view. 

The Admin can do absolutely anything.

There is one feature that Admin gets which I'm trying to figure out.
When the Admin is adding a record, he gets to decide which users he wants to
share the record with. He can choose particular Users by clicking on their
name to share that record with. How do I make that happen?

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Re: [PHP] Closing my Window after Download

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

Trust me John, I would not post here without trying out "many" javascript
functions first. In fact, the reason I posted here is because I began to
think that a PHP script like that won't allow the window to close, because
from window.close() to self.close() to various "Timeout & Close" scripts,
I've tried many javascript functions. I don't get any errors ... The window
just doesn't close...

system("rm -rf $user_dir", $ret_val);

Works perfectly... Removes folder!

Re: [PHP] unlink() & rmdir() ... Problems.

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

Apache to the best of my knowledge runs as "nobody" by default and since I
didn't change any settings, it is probably running as "nobody".

This is what I got with ls -al

rahul:/Library/WebServer/Documents/informed-sources.com/imsafm bob$ ls -al
total 16
drwxrwxrwx5 nobody  nobody170 24 Aug 13:55 .
drwxrwxrwx  102 bob unknown  3468 24 Aug 11:23 ..
-rw-rw-rw-1 bob unknown  6148 24 Aug 13:57 .DS_Store
drwxr-xr-x3 www www   102 24 Aug 11:05 bobkasper
drwxr-xr-x3 www www   102 24 Aug 11:09 rjohari


Now you see the last 2 folders... "bobkasper" and "rjohari". These are 2
users created by the admin. If I delete a user, their corresponding folder
should be deleted as well, which is what I am trying to achieve. But if,
let's say, I delete the user "rjohari"... The folder still remains.

Thanks for helping...

[PHP] Closing my Window after Download

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

I use the PHP Header directives to create a page which would force-download
the file for the user...



What I want is to have this window close automatically once it's launched
the Save As Dialog Box ... I tried several javascript window.close(),
self.close() functions but none of them seem to work. The window wont close.
It remains open.

Anyone's got any tips for me?

Thanks.

Re: [PHP] unlink() & rmdir() ... Problems.

Ave,

I do have the original permission set to CHMOD 777 thus the uploads are
working fine. 

I had presumed that anything uploaded by the server is owned by it thus I
wouldn't have to interfere with the permissions thereafter... But somehow
that doesn't seem to be working out.

I did actually set the permissions for group "nobody" to 'Read & Write'...
But I'm still there. The Files or Folders are not getting deleted.

Ave.

Re: [PHP] unlink() & rmdir() ... Problems.

Ave,

Well here's my situation...
You see the File Manager allows users to Upload files ... Once a user
uploads the file... It resides in a particular folder on my server. Users
will be constantly uploading, downloading, deleting files. I can't possibly
CHMOD 777 all the time...

My question is... If I select the "nobody" group for the base folder where
the files are stored & created... Will all the directories & files which are
created later by the users using the website therein have the permissions to
be deleted, if I set the permissions to read & write on that base folder?

Thanks.

How do I find out which user/group my web server is running as?
I'm running an Apache Web Server on my Power MAC G5 (Mac OS X) machine.
I can change the user/group permissions... But which user/group does the web
server use?

Thanks.

[PHP] unlink() & rmdir() ... Problems.

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

I do not really know what the problem is because I don't get an error, and
in fact my scripts execute fine... Except that, niether is the directory
deleted, nor is the file deleted. Only corresponding database entries are
deleted which I specify in my SQL code.

There are 2 different functions in 2 separate places in my File Manager.
1 function deletes the User including his Folder
The other deletes a particular file.

The code I'm using to delete the User & his Folder is:

User $user deleted.";
}
?>

The name of Folder of a user is the same as his Login.
Anyhow... The above code doesn¹t generate any error, and in fact does delete
the database entries from the table... But it doesn¹t remove the user¹s
directory. Why is that?

Similarly, this is the code for deleting the file:

File Deleted";
?>

Again, no error... The entries in the table get deleted.. But file remains
in the directory.

Any suggestions?

Re: [PHP] How do I open Save As Dialog Box?

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

IT WORKS!!
There wasn't one bit of a problem..
I'll just paste the code here again for anyone who might be looking for it.
I guess I was very close to it but just doing one thing wrong... I wasn't
specifying the Basename directive.

 

Although this doesn't work on MAC... It works on Windows .. In Mac it still
opens up the file in it's supported software. But it's not an issue for me.

Thanks a ton guys...

[PHP] How do I open Save As Dialog Box?

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

I'm facing a little problem.
I have created a File Manager Application for my company which has a place
where authorized users can download the stored files. The files are of
various MIME Types.. Mainly PDF, TXT & DOC.
What I want to do is basically... When the user clicks on the Download
Button... The Save As Dialog Box should appear...
What is happening right now is that the file opens in it's related software
(Word, Acrobat, Notepad etcetera). I don't want the file to open in it's
native software.

I know I need to use the
header ("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
But I don't know how.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

[PHP] Save Dialog Box

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

I'm working on creating a File Manager for my Company, in PHP & MySQL.
I had a question

The File Manager allows authenticated users to download & upload various
types of files from the available Zones. What I basically do is specify a
link to the Original file stored on the server so that the user can click on
the filename in the File Manager and download it.

What is happening is, depending on what type of a file it is... Instead of
giving a "Save Dialog Box", the file opens up in it's supported software.
For example.. If it's a text file... The file opens in notepad when you
click on the link on the webpage... Or if it's a PDF, it opens the Adobe
Acrobat Reader.

I understand why it does that and that it will do this.
But is there a way to alter it? What I want to do is, irrespective of the
File Format, I want the Save Dialog Box to appear, so that the user can
download the file on his system.

Thanks.

[PHP] PHP Calendar/Planner Project

[PHP Junkie]

Ave,

I'm working to create a sophisticated PHP Calendar/Planner application for
my company's web server. I was wondering if there is a nice powerful
calendar/planner application out there which could help me in guidance
towards building my project. What I'm looking for is something sophisticated
with features of users/groups, private/public calendars etcetera.

I'd really appreciate if someone can point to an existing application which
I can get.

Thanks,
Ave.

I used the Postfix Enabler software which sets up the mail server.
How do I test the mail server? How can I determine if it actually sends
mail?

[PHP] postfix with PHP on Mac OS X

[PHP Junkie]

Astrum Et Securis,

I'm using a PowerMac G5 machine, which has the MacOS X Panther. It comes
with the Postfix mail server, which I'm now trying to use with PHP.

I was able to define the sendmail_path to the Postfix sendmail in the
PHP.INI .. 

Now what happens is, on my localhost when I run the website, and I run a php
page that sends form data to email using the mail() function, it doesn't
give me any error, but the mail never arrives in the defined mailbox.

Any help appreciated.

Re: [PHP] The Mail Server on Mac OS X

Astrum Et Securis,

In fact, I did find out that Mac OS X (Panther) comes with a built-in Mail
Server called "Postfix"... Now what I need to know is how to use it with my
PHP Which I'm thinking is going to happen by defining the path to some
mail protocol of Postfix in my PHP.INI...

Any help?

[PHP] The Mail Server

[PHP Junkie]

Astrum Et Securis,

We're running our Apache Web Server with PHP & MySQL on a Power MAC G5
(MacOS X) system. And we're currently thinking of making it our web server
giving public access to our website hosted on this machine.

PHP, MySQL, FTP etcetera are all fine, but what about the Mail Server? How
does the mail() in the PHP work... It requires a Mail Server? If so, how can
I install/configure such a mail server so that the mail() can work from our
own server machine?

Thanks,

Not at all. OS X is essentially Unix and you've already got Apache 
built in. I believe it comes with PHP installed (but not enabled) but I 
would recommend using Marc's installer from www.entropy.ch. This will 
give you the most current version of PHP (normally). In short, PHP is 
great on a Mac.

Hope that helps,

[PHP] Moving a PHP/MySQL web site ???

[PHP Junkie]

Hi 

I will be having to face the dubious task of moving my PHP/MySQL-based website to 
another server.  Can anyone out there point me to some "GOOD" documentation on this?  
The .php files I'm not as concerned about.  I've been using the $DOCUMENT_ROOT in all 
of my includes.  I'm more concerned about getting the MySQL databases ( actual files 
??? ) moved over correctly.

I know this isn't a MySQL list, but I thought that enough of you out there work with 
PHP/MySQL enough to get some good feedback.  I'd also like to hear feedback on just 
your general experience with the process of moving from one web server over to another.

Thanks all -- --
