What about dumping the $month_names array and using strftime()?
Interesting -- more portable since the month names would then follow
locale settings.
Plus it paves the way for a really hairy one-liner. With apologies to
the original poster for the drift and the perversity of this example:
?php
printselect
name='QuoteMonth'.implode(\n,array_map(create_function('$n','returnoption

selected=\selected\:)..strftime(%b,strtotime(2004-$n-01))./option;'),range(1,12)))./select;

Hi, I have this working:

But I want to specify multiple IPs. What's the best recommended way for
doing that?
Build an array and use in_array():
$redirect_me = array ('212.3.54.65', '127.0.0.1', '192'168.0.1');
if (in_array ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $redirect_me))
{
header (Location: ...);
exit;
}
If the addresses you are targeting are ranges in CIDR format (e.g.
192.168.0.0/24), take a look at the PEAR package Net_IPv4.

Hi,

Is there any better way?
Here's how I might re-do your code (notes below):
$months = array ('', 'Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul',
'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec');
print select name='QuoteMonth';
foreach ($months as $number = $month)
{
$selected = ;
if (date ('n') == $number)
{
$selected = selected='selected';
}
print option value='$number' $selected$month/option;
}
print /select;
Notes (warning, many personal biases included):
1. Quote all HTML attributes.
2. Use XHTML-compatible markup for selected attribute, nutty as it looks.
3. Use the month name, not the number, for your display values.
4. If you want a blank option entry, you might as well include it in
your array.
5. Avoid iterating through arrays with C-style for loops; foreach
is cleaner.
6. Don't continually switch between PHP and HTML modes; either write
PHP that prints HTML, or use templates.
7. Use blocks in if statements.
8. Use Whitesmiths brace style :)

Do you mean, say we fetched 100,000 addresses from database, we make our script sleep for a while after sending, say 1000 mails ? An alternative solution is to insert a small delay using usleep() after each message is sent such that the queue never gets overfull to begin with. Also, keep in mind you are dealing with multiple possible constraints -- local resource limitations (CPU disk), and bandwidth available for connecting to remote hosts. For reference, I do this kind of thing on a fairly busy server, using Postfix, for nonprofit clients that do member newsletter mailings in the 5,000 to 10,000 piece range. I find that I am able to keep system load tolerably low by limiting my script to about 3-4 messages per second. In my case I am mostly concerned about managing local CPU. The queue never backs up. You will also want to look at protecting your script from dying prematurely by using ignore_user_abort() and set_time_limit() or equivalents. If you are sending only a few hundred messages, that shouldn't place much of a burden on your server, and you may not need to insert any delay at all. (Whereas if you are sending 100,000 messages, I'd have to guess you're a spammer, as any org with a legitimate reason to mail 100K people at once would be unlikely to be creating this script from scratch and asking basic questions in php-general.

Re: [PHP] Templates Are Driving me Nuts

Everyone has their own ideas on whether this is needed and what kind of
templates to use. There are a ton of engines out there that you can use.
Some are simple and some turn into programming languages of their own
and just present another layer of failure/difficulty. Some people
recommend just using PHP both in your business and presentation layer as
this is what PHP was originally designed for.
Personal preference. :)
Personal preference indeed -- this is likely to be a long thread!
If you're new to this and finding template engines confising, I'd urge
you to start out by just doing pure PHP templating, i.e. what John
is describing in the last sentence of his first paragraph. You get the
structural benefits of templating (more readable program logic, more
readable HTML) without having to learn any new syntax.
In a nutshell, this means that you have a script that prepares data,
and another (mostly HTML), included by the first, that presents it.
The first, let's call it page.php, will be something like this:
?php
$foo = $_GET['foo']; // get example parameter passed by user
$foo = htmlspecialchars ($foo); // example transformation; prevent
user from injecting HTML
$foo = strtoupper ($foo); // example transformation; we want this
displayed in all caps
$date = date ('Y-m-d'); // example data; date in '2004-07-13' format
require_once 'page.tpl.php'; // render page using template, fail if
not found
?
and page.tpl.php will be something like this:
html
body
h1Current foo status: ?= $foo ?/h1
smallPage created on ?= $date ?/small
/body
/html
This is a minimal example, but even without further refinements this
approach will create much more readable and maintainable code than the
big-ball-o-mud interwoven-PHP-and-HTML style of development.
The argument against template engines is well presented here:
http://phppatterns.com/index.php/article/articleview/4/1/1/
Personally, I use Smarty for sites that need complex templating, and
pure PHP templating for everything else.

How about array_filter()? From the docs: If the callback function is
not supplied, array_filter() will remove all the entries of input
that are equal to FALSE.
$a = array ('a' = 'foo', 'b' = '', 'c' = null, 'd' = 99, 'e' = 0);
print_r (array_filter ($a));
// Output:
Array
(
[a] = foo
[d] = 99

As a previous poster noted, though, this will only work for you if 0
and the empty string et al. are not significant in your application.

Re: [PHP] Help with array / list looping syntax
I need some help with a looping syntax. In english, a is used before
words that begin with consonants - an is used before words that start
with vowels. I'm trying to create a loop that checks this state and inserts
the correct word in the echo line. Below is the sloppy version of what I'm
trying to do...
One more variant:
function a_an ($word)
{
return (stristr (aeiouAEIOU, $word{0}) ? an : a ) . $word;
}
echo Member has . a_an ($table['field']) . who is...;
Any time you start typing minor variants of the same thing over and
over, an alarm should go off in your head. That's what computers are
here to save us from!

I think it's unlikely to change. PHP5 also works this way, though it
uses constructor methods named __construct (in addition to allowing
old-style constructors with the name of the class).
?php
// PHP5
class Foo
{
function __construct()
{
$this-x = data;
}
}
class Bar extends Foo
{
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this-y = more data;
}
}

FWIW Python also requires child classes to call parent constructors
manually. Not sure what the justification is for this design decision
is, though, in either language. Anybody?

Re: [PHP] Multipart Email Problem
I had the same problem a few months ago. I switched to Mail::mime thinking that the problem was my homebrew code, but still the same thing -- Outlook didn't recognize the message as multipart. The fix was changing the newline sequence from \r\n to \n. The Mail::mime constructor allows you to change this value, so in my code the change boiled down to: $mime = new Mail_mime (\n); Hope this works for you. pb On Thu, 24 Jun 2004 12:27:17 +0100, Matt MacLeod [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a script that sends a multipart email from a php page.
