help for smtp and ssl - Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP Discussion Boards

Yes! WAMP is enough, I'm not familiar with WAMP, becouse I'm using XAMPP, and IIS with installed PHP.

Yes, WAMP is good for local Server. But we shall also need the server-side Application language[PHP] with the Database for storing captured Information.

Go to this page here and it gives a full rundown of how-to for differing applications. XAMPP or WAMP products are very good. I have tried XAMPP and it installs very easily and sets up very well. Easy to use and learn. It installs mysql, php, apache etc for you all at once as I assume WAMP does also. To answer one of your posts, either product provides a whole package for you to begin.

Well if you are using Windows then you can install wamp or Xampp.

C#, VB.NET,ASP.NET DEVELOPER

What's more convenient you think - WAMP or XAMPP?

install Wamp server, it has MySQL and Apache. and it installs setting automatically. you need only to work on PHP.

hello everybody

i registered for a very good free webhosting with nice subdomain which offers POP3 IMAP and SMTP with SSL/TLS and many other features.

when i created my webmaster e-amil, the control panel gives me the feature to make a test.
so i did and it worked very good.

so the next step was to test this in a php script and it worked good too, here it is:
--------------------

PHP

<?php
$from    = "webmaster@my-subdomain";
$to      = "my-other-email@external-domain";
$subject = "testing";
$body    = "testing the mail function";

if(mail($to,$from,$subject,$body)) {echo "success\n";}
else {echo "failure\n";}
?>

--------------------
now i want send emails with ssl authentication and after build a customized client for sending mails and viewing reiceived mails. i searched for that and i found some interresting things, and i understood that they used some third party packages, like phpmailer, curl and pear's mail which need to be installed and modify the php.ini file for ssl library, allowing to send via external servers like gmail which is very nice thing and i know that i can use it with my subdomain server as well.

the problem is that i don't have access to the php.ini file, and even if i can, i don't want do that because i know that i have already everything installed with my registration, and the proof was the two test e-mails.

what i can't know is which package my registeration is using. i give some config infos of my subdomain that i got from phpinfo() to help you :

i have the incoming and outgoing servers with their corresponding ports for both secured and non secured mail services (servers used for ssl and non-ssl are different).

in some tutos, they say that php4 and later (which the case here) comes with built-in pear mail package, but i dont know how to verify that. i think it is an issue, no ?!!!!

so i tried a code (How to Send Email from a PHP Script Using SMTP Authentication By Heinz Tschabitscher) but it gives me a require_once error, because this :
require_once "Mail.php";
it told me that the file deosn't exist in the include path or something like that.

sorry if my message is very long but i want make it clear and easy for anyone want help me.

thank you for your effort.

hi
i have 4 fields like as bellow
1.start date
2.start time
3.end date
4.end time

by using above fields how can i get difference in hours in php project
any body can help me.
thank you.

A little RTFM goes a long way. Open up the PHP manual (online if you were too stupid or lazy to download a free copy) and type "date difference" into the search box.
Work with DateTime and DateInterval objects.

What is your project... how you help me if i help u

@n!L

If you searched on google you would find 1000's of solutions. this is copied from PHP site

PHP

<?php
$td = time_diff($timestamp1-$timestamp2); // has to be a positive result
$td .= ($td=="now")? "":" ago"; // in this example "ago"
echo $td;

function time_diff($s){
   
    $time = get_post_time('G', true, $post);
    $s = time() - $time;

    if($s>=1) {
    $td = "$s sec";
    }  

    if($s>59) {
        $m = (int)($s/60);
        $s = $s-($m*60); // sec left over
        $td = "$m min"; if($s>1) $td .="s";
    }
    if($m>59){
        $hr = (int)($m/60);
        $m = $m-($hr*60); // min left over
        $td = "$hr hr"; if($hr>1) $td .= "s";
        if($m>0) $td .= ", $m min";
    }
    if($hr>23){
        $d = (int)($hr/24);
        $hr = $hr-($d*24); // hr left over
        $td = "$d day"; if($d>1) $td .= "s";
        if($d<3){
            if($hr>0) $td .= ", $hr hr"; if($hr>1) $td .= "s";
        }
    }
    return $td;
}
?>

Hello guys;

In .NET environment, you could deploy you web app to your local server with compilation (which hides all code-behind files, i.e, your server-scripts).

How can I achieve the same in my WAMP/PHP environment.

The essence of this is to protect my application from being modified by anyone else behind me.

Thank you in anticipation of your prompt response.

You cant. php compiler does not create anyother form of file

I wish I could believe there is an after life.

Thank you for the response.

You could use one of the byte compilers that exist for PHP. ZendEncoder would be one example. This one is commercial if you use it commercially but there are free alternatives as well.

Other option: host the application on your own server and don't grant access to the source code.

Hi people,

Can anyone please tell me what is the best and fastest way to learn PHP? I am referring to if someone has a link to some nice tutorial or a nice book which is available online. Thanks!.

ps. How long do you think it could take to learn it?

best regards.

Given that you have not learned how to use Google yet, I would say quite a long time.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Very smart reply right? I'd give you an appropriate answer but I won't as I am on a public forum, so I will restrain myself from this - and don't tell you what you actually deserve.

As for the question, Google would not help here - because I was looking for an expert advice; meaning, there maybe lots of books on the internet, but I was asking for your (or the audiences more precisely; your answer I have already received and it was quite unhelpful) as to which book is "nice"/good.

best regards.

Not really, but it is based on the reasonable assumption that you did not bother to read the posting guidelines[^], nor did you bother to do some basic research into the learning tools that can easily be found by doing this[^].

In your original question you asked:

OK, the answer is simple do what I suggested, and start studying.

Stephan A. wrote:

Same answer, Google finds lots.

How can anyone give a valid answer to such a question? You may be a very fast learner or the dumbest person on the planet; there is no way that we could judge.

Good answer. Both posts upvoted

Thanks, it's interesting how the OP did not actually refer to his original question when attacking me for not answering "what I asked for".
