I have a hosted site and can no longer receive emails I believe a problem with the hosts Unix sendmail system.
I was wondering if there is any way that I can run a script that will test the sendmail setup on my host site. I did google a script
<br />
mail('mymail@mydomain.com', 'test email', 'test message');<br />
There seems to be a mixed view if this will test the actual system or is just the same as sending mail which I have tried normally.
The site can receive mail but mail sent from a form or from a email address from the hosted site will not be received.
I have tested it with two email addresses both ways in and out my own and a gmail address. using the host address as the target.
I am between the devil and the deep blue sea. My host is blaming my internet provider and my internet provider is blaming the host. As they would, would'ent they?.

Ok Scratch question
I have discovered how. I have also [proved that Bigpond Australia's largest Telco and my internet provider is having major problems with webmail, it takes up to 2 days to pipe through "Snail Mail" morelike "Slug Mail". I have found a workaround.
I can route via gmail currently, just means changing my form target.
The things one has to do.

Hi, I'm new here and I have a question.
I want to add a tag cloud to my site. The site is not a WordPress or Joomla...
Is there a plug & play script for a tag cloud or that I'll have to customize it no matter what?
Looking forward for your answers

I had a rough day with my hard disk damaged apparently in the boot sector that I couldn't even retrieve my files neither by booting under safe mode, nor by using many of the commercial maintenance tools like "Win Mini PE"..I was completely down when I realized an old dusty Linux Knopix "a mandrake based linux that completely boots from your CD drive" in my CD bag and I thought "can it??" and bingo! I got access to my trapped files, copied them to a flash disk, re-partitioned the damn piece of junk and restored my files!
Thank you Knopix!
All generalizations are wrong, including this one!

Whoever wrote that quote you 're citing was wrong. Knoppix (as it is usually spelled) is based on Debian, not Mandrake.
I've saved quite some worlds with it and its little medically educated brother, Knoppicillin.
Cheers,
Sebastian

apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils libexpat1 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-common php5-gd php5-idn php-pear php5-imap php5-mcrypt php5-mhash php5-mysql php5-sqlite php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl php5-curl

I'm an Ubuntu user not Red Hat so I'm really not sure on that one.

Server applications like MySQL will not show with applications.
Also, please be aware that package names differ between distros.

I have no idea why you got voted down for that.
Pushed a 5 ur way to counter that a little.
Cheers,

.tar.gz files compressed archives.
To open it, do:
tar zxvf bugzilla-3.2.3.tar.gz
The z means unZip, the x means eXtract, the v means Verbose, and the f means File.
A new folder will be created, cd into it, see what's in there.

What is the difference between AJAX and FLEX?
|
|
|
|
|
AJAX is Asynchronous Javascript and XML. The term is often used to refer to the ability to update part of a web page without refreshing the whole page.
Flex is a technology developed by Adobe and is based on the language Actionscript (which is also part of adobe Flash - which you probably know). Flex is more application, form and programmer oriented than Flash is - however, the two use the same language, so there are many areas in which the two applications are similar and can perform the same tasks.

Hi, i am new to this site, and i love it..
I would like to ask few questions to guide me to finish my project. I want to create a PHP based webmail system, but i am not sure if it is just enough to code the webmail using php itself.
I am wondering, do i need to install another program such as Postfix and Dovecot?? Coz 2 of them are email servers rite? and webmail need an email server to access to..
I want to create prototype webmail, hence this system will not really be online, maybe could be used in just local area network..
So, conclusion for all the questions:
1. DO i need to install the email server?
2. Can i just create an webmail system using PHP itself without installing Postfix and Dovecot?
Thanks if you could help me. I'll be very happy

I don't so much have a solution as I am interested in what you are doing. I'd like to know how you get on with creating it (as I've thought about making one in future).
From my knowledge of php:
I don't think you can create an email system with php alone. I might be wrong (I hope). But still there's no point reinventing the wheel so I do strongly suggest investigating using dovecot/postfix. you should be able to use functions such as phps exec to run commands within postfix/dovecot etc
Are you going to be building it open source?

Hi Marc.. I was planning to do a simple webmail system for my project. It should works like normal webmail such as hotmail or yahoo, but it will be in the simplest design.
I would like to implement encryption to that system, so it can only send an encrypted email. What i am wondering about is, do i need to install the mail server?? or can i just save all the email information (including email messages, user id, email, etc) into sql databases.. Because when user had login the webmail, all the emails information is downloaded from the mail server? correct me if i am wrong.. Hence, i guess mail server might be needed.. But as this is just a small project, i am not going to make an online system.. So it will be in local host.. So is it possible just to download all the emails information of an user from sql database? without had to download from the mail server..
I am doing this for my Final Year Project for my degree, so if anyone could help with the settings on how to build a webmail system using php? I would be very appreciate..

Hi Guys
I'm assuming your all trying to develop an interface to a mailbox which has already be setup. Php provides the imap dll for windows which you can use to establish a connection to a mailbox. Alternatively if you know the raw commands for either imap or pop3 and you don't mind getting dirty then you can code it your self.
|
|
|
|

Yeah, for my project is similar to something like you mentioned, it works just like hotmail or any other webmail application, where people used the webmail to access to the mail server(which has been setup)
I just want to make an offline mail server for my project, and i only want my LAN network to access the network. Strictly not for outsider..
And thanks Marc for the links..

- Walk through the code step by step to debug it. add echos to check things are being sent.
- make sure the database details are correct
- make sure the folder you are writing to has write permissions enabled
- check you are not using a local Server_name such as localhost
- check that you are not using functionality that requires changes to made to php.ini
or
- provide us with more information and sample code so we can help you further

I can create a PayPal Add to Cart Button outside of Paypal but if one has only one item to sell. It is possible for two or more people to buy the same item.
A button could be created within PayPal that has inventory control and would prevent additional sale of the one item. That requires constant logging in to Paypal.
My programming skills is limited to some basic Basic.
What I am after is a way to remove the button or deactivate it from the page after it is pressed once. IE When a person is taken to the cart view. What I am also looking at is using the unlink function to remove the page perhaps. I would manually reset the button if the sale fell through after that.
All I can do is send a potential customer to PayPals checkout I cannot control externally that someone else is also sent there before I have had time to remove the item for sale.
My ultimate purpose is to set up an online garage sale to sell my unwanted goods accumulated over the years. I am trying Ebay but sometimes an item has to be listed many times for a sale and it becomes uneconomical. I have a site and reasonably good in HTML but not a good in programming.
I am thinking that when a person returns from a transaction to a page that has an onload the sending page can be insrtucted to be deleted or the link made inactive.
I have asked PayPal and it has been accepted as a feature request but that may never eventuate.
I thank anyone in advance for some ideas on this.
