Re: [PHP] Mail Function In PHP
Any volume of mail sent direct to mx records is a red flag for anti spammers
and without an smtp spf dkim and rdns you are wasting your time. The logic is
that only people sending spam would be sending direct to mx like that. Fair or
not that is just how life works. Oh and most mail servers do check rdns spf
etc.
It is kind of pointless to send emails if they end up in the spam folder or
worse don't get delivered at all. Do it right the first time use an smtp rdns
and spf at the very least.

Contrary to popular belief, to send an email you do not need to have
your own SMTP server. All you need to know is the SMTP server
responsible for your recipients email.
This information is held as part of the domain registration details
and is known as the MX records (as I understand it).
PHP has a function called getmxrr() [1]. This allows you to supply a
domain name and get back the list of MX records suitable for handling
the SMTP mail.
This function wasn't available on Windows until recently, and I
created a userland version utilising Windows nslookup.exe program [2].
So, once you've got the list of SMTP servers for the domain you are
sending email to, you can use the ini_set('SMTP', 'xx'); function
to set the server to handle the mail() call you are about to make.
Upside : No local SMTP server - you are not responsible for
maintaining/administering/etc. any aspect of the SMTP process.
Upside : If the mail() call fails, you can try the other MX records (I
tend to sort the results based upon weight and try them in sequence).
If it fails all of them, you know straight away and can deal with it.
Upside : No relaying. No permission issues to worry about. You are
simply talking to the public SMTP servers just like any other SMTP
server or sender.
Downside : No queuing. Without a_LOCAL_ SMTP server, you can only
deal with sending email in real time.
Downside : One domain at a time. You cannot send email to
a...@domain1.com, b...@domain2.com_and_ c...@domain3.com in the 1 email.
None of these steps affect the use of mail() or a mail sending class
(phpmailer, RMail, html_mime_mail5, etc.).

Richard.

[PHP] Mysql statement works in phpmyadmin but not in php page
I'm at my wits end trying to make this mysql statement insert work in PHP. I'm not getting any errors from PHP or mysql but the insert fails (nothing is inserted) error reporting is on and is reporting other errors. When I echo out the query and manually paste it into PHP myAdmin the query inserts without a problem. I know that I am connecting to the database as well part of the data being inserted comes from the same database and that the mysql user has permission to do inserts (even tried as root no luck). $query=INSERT INTO upload_history (v_id,hour,visits,date) VALUES (.$v_id.,.$hour.,.$visits.,'$date1'.);; $r2=mysql_query($query) or die(bA fatal MySQL error occured/b.\nbr /Query: . $query . br /\nError: ( . mysql_errno() . ) . mysql_error()); This is an echo of $query and runs in phpmyadmin. INSERT INTO history (v_id,hour,visits,date) VALUES (45,0,59,'2010 01 27'); Any idea what is going on here? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Mysql statement works in phpmyadmin but not in php page
Thank you. You were right on the money, hour was the problem and the tick marks solved it. I spent 3 hours trying to figure out why I never got an error but there was no insert and php myadmin does add the tick marks automatically. Probably a good habit to always use the tick marks. Learn something new everyday. On Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 4:26 PM, Joseph Thayne webad...@thaynefam.orgwrote: Try putting tick marks (`) around the field and table names. So your SQL query would then look like: INSERT INTO `history` (`v_id`, `hour`, `visits`, `date`) VALUES (45, 0, 59, '2010 01 27'); This is a good practice to get into. The problem is that MySQL allows you to create tables and fields with the same name as functions. If the tick marks are not there, then it assumes you mean to try using the function. In your case, hour is a function in mysql. I would assume that the reason it works in phpmyadmin is that it filters the query somehow to add the tick marks in.

Re: [PHP] Good source for sample data?
Fakenamegenerator.com is pretty good for these kinds of records, alot of variety and can change order/formating for them but they do limit free orders to 50k records. http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/order.php On Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 8:06 PM, TG tg-...@gryffyndevelopment.com wrote: I remembered a coworker found an online resource that generated sample data for you.

Hey all - I need a few million sample contact records - name, company, address, email, web, phone, fax. ZIP codes and area codes and street addresses should be correct and properly formatted, but preferably not real people or companies or email addresses. But they'd work if you did address validation or mapping.
