PHP :: How To Get Hotmail/Yahoo/Aol Contact Lists ?

Email Lists
How would I go about making email lists? Someone who has something similar to what I want told me that they handle it with PHP. I'm not talking about a form where I can email an entire list, but rather an email GROUP, such that any time email went to URL from ANYONE that is a member of my site, it would come into domainname.com, and then sent back out to everyone in the "group".

Any info would be helpful. Is this possible with php? What is the email process? Right now I'm not even on a domain name on my own server.

Drop Down Lists
I have a drop down list with the town options 'Bury' and 'Ipswich' as
shown below.

When selecting one of the options, its value is passed to variable
$townsearch.

How do I change the drop down list so the option selected last time is
then the current one shown in the drop down box?

<body>

<?php $townsearch = $_get['town']; ?>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="get">

<select size="1" name="town">

<option>ipswich</option>
<option>bury</option>
 
</select> 

<input type="submit" value="GO" />

</form>

Ordering Lists
I have developed a script (with help) that tries to order events stored in my .txt file by date. The .txt file looks like this: 1st|Jan|Meeting at House| 15th|Feb|Meeting at your House etc

The script orders the dates from lowest to highest but does not order dates before the 10th. Apparently 1st - 9th comes after 31st.. Code:

Yahoo And MSN

I want to send a message to a user in his yahoo messanger id and MSN Id through my php script.

Actually user will provide his MSN or Yahoo Id in my web form, and after some server operation he will receive a message in MSN or Yahoo messanger.

Can any one tell me how to perform this task?

Maintaining Mailing Lists
I've few doubts; I'm asking two problem here.

1st, can we use PHP for maintaining mailing-lists. Say, we've 1000 users, need be e-mailed a subscription newsletter i.e. $message is same, loop through e-mail array in db.

2nd, Web site search. We maintain database after reading files using PHP and manipulate results from db.

Question is, if PHP is a solution for these problems, also, when users' ( 1 ), keywords' ( 2 ) dbs grow big! There is also a limit of a PHP script execution. In 1st case, PHP has to parse, suppose 10k subscribers, and generate 10k e-mail for sendmail program.

Is PHP feasible for such things. What else, is a better and professionally used solution. I don't know CGI? Perl?

Multiple Selection Lists?
i have a mutliple selection list on a form that goes like this

<select name='name' multiple size=6>";
echo "<option value='one'>one";
echo "<option value='two'>two";
echo "<option value='three'>three"; etc it works fine.

BUT how do u call it. For example say i selected option one and three. How do i call that on the next page so that ONE and THREE are stored.

Less-expensive Way To Set Up Defaults In Lists Etc?
I'm currently setting up default selections in <select> lists by
passing an array of those defaults as keys ( 'valuefoo' => true ) as
an argument to the function that sets up the list. Then, as I build
each <option>, I call array_key_exists ( thisoptionvalue,
arrayofdefaults ) to check whether to include the
'selected="selected"' string.

So the code looks something like

Routine ( array( 'valuefoo' => true, 'valuebar' => true ) ) ;
.....

function Routine ( $defaultvals )
{
for ( $i= etc. )
echo '<option....' . ( array_key_exists( 'curroptval',
$defaultvals ) ? 'selected="selected"' : '' ) . etc ' ;
}

(I've elided a lot of syntax, but you get the idea)

That seems slow and tedious. Does anyone know a cheaper way?

Quote's Invoices Lists...
I need someone to bounce some ideas off.

This is what I'm trying to do, I want to be able to create a script that
will spit out a quote based on the information filled in.

The part I'm stuck on is. Entering all the items in.

Ok, say I have a form, it starts off where you put in all the details
(eg, who the quote is for address phone no etc.)

Then there will be a list of items to go onto the quote.

Now this is the part I'm stuck on. I'm thinking maybe something like an
add new item button that opens a new window and then you enter in the
details for each item.
This then adds each item to the quote. Each item that is entered can be
added directly to the database. So what I'm thinking maybe is a popup
window that you fill in the details for each item, you hit submit, and
then it goes back to the origional quote page, but now with the item
added to the list.

Maybe is there java script where you can open a new window and then
refresh the parent window when the child is closed? this would then have
the items listed.

Dropdown Lists From A Mysql Db
Id like to load a drop down list from a mysql database using php3 and create a link to that record. Does anyone have any ideas?

Mailing Lists Under Apache
I must develop mailing lists under Apache but I don't know how to do this, so, if someone knows how to do this.

Drop Down Lists And Variables
I have a dropdown list with values and I am having trouble getting the value chosen into a variable so that I can use it in an if statement.

Multiple Lists Selection
I am using a simple registration form that i made with the toolbox, but when I come to a multiple list to choose from (populated from the database) it doesn't work correctly. Of course, out of the multiple items selected only the last one gets inserted.

From what I have read, the selection must be turned into an array then looped for this to work. Is this correct? Next how would I code this to work right. If you let me know which code to post, I will post it.

Multiple Selection Lists &
I have 2 multiple selection lists. I am using javascript so that users can select items from list 1 and move them to list 2. When the user submits the form I need my php to get the values he has/she has in list 2...

I have done printf($_POST['list_2']) and it only shows one value, even when multiple are selected. I read that I need to change it's name to list_2[] but if I add the brackets to the name my javascript quits working.

Dynamic Dropdown Lists
I am recoding a greeting card website.

I am using dropdowns as filters for items in a DB, so when the user picks "animals" from the "theme" dropdown, the returned cards all feature animals, and when the user picks "birthday" from the "message" option, the returned cards all feature birthday cards.

However, there are some combinations that don't return any results, for example "get well" "floral" cards. Code:

Classes And Dropdown Lists
The class below works fine. The problem I have is there's a dropdown list in the middle of the loop. The dropdown list gets its data from another table in the database. Which goes through the same class. So I have a loop within a loop.

What I'm trying to do is ....

Hotmail
When php sends mail it works fine, unless it is sent to a Hotmail account. Some other sites send mail to my hotmail with (supposedly) php, and nothing is wrong. DO I need to do something to the code?

I use the mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers); function.

Google/Yahoo!
I was wondering if anyone can help me in finding a script of a search
engine that is very similar to yahoo and google... in
php/perl/sql/etc. its just for a small high school project... for an
entrepreneurship project... if you can help i would greatly appreciate
it...

API For Yahoo Chat?
How to get the contact list of a particular user from Yahoo chat from an external application? Is there any API available for this purpose?

Yahoo And PHP Mail()
I recently signed up for a yahoo small business account and am having a
heck of a time getting mail() to work. My script returns the thank you
and apperas to run through but no mail is recieved and the error log is
spitting out error: unknown. Any ideas? I have reduced it down to just
trying to get a mail to go through. And so far Yahoo!

Lildog

<?php
ini_set ("sendmail_from","youraddress@somewhere.com");
$to = "youraddress@somewhere.com";
$youremail = "youraddress@somewhere.com";
$mailheaders = "From: $youremail
";
$subject = "Your comments";
$strMessageBody =" testing this thing.";
mail($to, $subject, $strMessageBody, $mailheaders);
echo "<h2>Thank you</h2>";
phpinfo();
?>

Yahoo Cookie
As I'm not registered or login with yahoo and as I visit the site the first time, the site sent me a cookie. Anyone knows what is this purpose of this cookie?

Php And Yahoo Messenger
i am looking for document to integrate yahoo messenger f0r sending messages via php. i couldn`t find latest protocol details and its integration or any Libraries?

PHP And Yahoo Issue
I'm having a two problems with a email script on my Flash web site hosted with Yahoo. I am a strong Flash developer but weak at php.

First Yahoo has draconion spam protection rules on their servers that are driving me crazy. You can't send an email from their server that doesn't have a valid yahoo email address in the from field. When a visitor fills out the contact form on my web page and sends it, it errors out because they filled in their email address which isn't a yahoo email address. So I need to modify the script so that their servers always sees my valid yahoo emaill address, but visitors can still fill in their addres as well.

Second, for some reason the first two fields don't appear when I receive the emails. The telephone and message fields appear fine. I have included the three parts of the script for you to review. The page script and button script are part of the flash movie. The contact.php resides on the server. Code:

PHP And Yahoo! Mail
I just noticed that Yahoo has published an API to Yahoo! Mail. Read about it at the Yahoo! Developer Network.

I have not tried this yet, so I don't know how hard (or easy) API is to use.

How To Open MSN Or Yahoo?
any one know script that open connection with msn or yahoo like these in hi5.com or facebook.com

Create State-cty Dropdown Lists
I've gotten everything up and running except for this -- I'd like to
be able to have people have a dropdown list of cities in the US to use
(or wherever) and not have to input them manually into a text field.
When you do then there are issues of misspellings, etc.

Now I have a list of cities from each state that is a sample that
works in an html page. Problem is that it takes up 2 MB! Way too much
to load on a single page and I was wondering how this is accomplished
best -- do people use javascripts that can pull information from
another flat flie? Do people use PHP to connect to a mysql database
that might have a list of these fields and then reloads the page?

I'm really not sure of best options and would be grateful for anyone
to give me pointers or whether there are other examples and even
places to buy these databases (not likely but good to have if I decide
to do so.)

Session Info And Pull Down Lists
i have a html pull down list (<SELECT etc etc <OPTION VALUE .....) and
i have the particular value the user last chose it to be in a
$_SESSION['value']. How do i set the selected item of the list to this
one? I can just add it in as the selected item of the list but then it
appears twice.

If You're Good With Arrays And Lists, This One's For You
I'm using PHP 4.4.4. Let's say I have two scalars, $list1 and $list2.
Both are comma separated lists of ordered, unsigned, unique integers.
An example would be

$list1 = "2,26,345";
$list2 = "3,4,26,35,525";

I am wondering if there is a short way of determining if all the
numbers in $list1 occur in $list2.

Creating Form 'select Lists' Using PHP
Is it by any chance possible to use mysql and php to auto create the
content for drop-down lists on forms by retrieving the values from a
database? The reason i ask is that on a site i am making i am asking
users to select from list (e.g. nationality) however i would like to
avoid typing out every possible value of which there are about 40
(which change). I would much prefer to keep a seperate table in my
database for the site.

Sorting Alphabetically Backwards Lists
This code runs @ http://www.ckoogle.com but the trouble is once I get
the list backwards, and in an array. I can't sort the new array into
alphabetical order. Anyone know a way to do it?

<?php

echo '<form action="index.php" method="post">'
echo '<textarea name="input" cols="12" rows="20">'
echo '</textarea><br>'
echo '<input type="submit" value="Submit">'
echo '</form>'

if( isset( $_POST["input"] )){
$my_array = $_POST["input"];
$my_array=strrev($my_array);
$my_array=explode("
", $my_array);
print_r($my_array);
sort($my_array);
print_r($my_array);
for($cnt=0; $cnt < count($my_array); $cnt++)
{
echo(strrev($my_array[$cnt]));
echo('<br>');
}
}
?>

Detecting Checkboxes And Option Lists
I am trying to figure out how to detect a <Form> check box being checked in a PHP script. Likewise, I am trying to figure out how to detect which option was chosen in a <option> list of drop-down items in a form. Code:

Auto-update Shopping Lists
I have a shopping list, or multiple shopping lists, that users and sort and add/delete items from.

I know how to add/move/delete items, but that is with a submit button. Is there a way, probably through AJAX, that the mySQL tables will be updated automatically as things are changed?

Help With Mail() And Hotmail!
Over the past two weeks, I have noticed that I have suddenly not been able to send e-mails to send e-mails to hotmail addresses with my PHP script. I can, however, send mail to non-hotmail addresses. Can anybody help, please?

The script I am using at the moment is as follows:

<?php
// Send E-Mail
$my_name = "Dave";
$my_email = "me@domain.com";
$to_name = "Dave";
$to_email = "myaddress@hotmail.com";
$subject = "Hello!";
$message = "testing!";
$mailheaders = "From: $my_name <$my_email>";
$mailheaders .= "MIME-Version: 1.0";
$mailheaders .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";
mail("$to_name <$to_email>", "$subject", "$message", "$mailheaders");
?>

Muchly appreciated.

Hotmail Webfetching
Where can I find a script to connect to Hotmail/Windows Live mail?

Mail() And Hotmail !!
why when i send email to hotmail using mail function the email goes to Junk box? Code:

Mail() And Hotmail
I have a problem sending mail() to hotmail accounts. The emails don't arrive at all (they don't arrive in the inbox or junk folders).

The script works fine sending to any address other than hotmail.

I've searched these forums and the web and others seem to have the same problem but no one appears to have a solution.

Hotmail, Gmail Etc...
I have a problem with sending mail from the site I am working on. Some users recieve the emails but those who use the major web based services (Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, AOL) don't even get mail delivered in their Junk folder - I have tested to check because I didn't quite believe it.

I am sending out a html formatted email with just one image in it...

Can any suggest a reason for this? Is it just my headers? Can anyone point me to some better headers to try and get through top the inbox..

Interfacing With Msn/yahoo Messenger
I need to interface my php code with yahoo/msn IM.

I have a list of members and their msn/yahoo usernames and I want other members to see when they are online and send them an instant message.

How do I do this?

Yahoo! Kind Of Display
I am currently working on a project that may need to have the front page that looks like Yahoo!, i.e. a lot of categories and sub-categories displayed in multi-column format. Now, extracting the categories is not my problem, but displaying them in a multi-column format is.

Does anyone out there has some code that can get me started, tutorial or even maybe an idea on how to do this?

Yahoo! And Login System
[This is bit off-topic. I'm posting here to get some sort of PHP
solution]

This is regarding secure login implementation in PHP. I'm trying to
understand <http://mail.yahoo.com/> If I understand right, they're
passing the md5 hash instead of the password itself. But, I couldn't
understand the use of "challenge" string in their mechanism. IIRC,
sometimes ago, I read somewhere that this kind of system is not secure
at all. Does anyone have any idea?

Yahoo Not Accepting Php Attachment
I'm sending a form via emaail as a .php attachment. Works great with everything except yahoo. Yahoo decides to include it in the html email instead of as a .php attachment and that royally messes the format up. Yet hotmail, outlook all successfully attach the file and things work great. I know it's kinda off topic but any clue where I could look within my code or yahoo that could be causing this dilemnna. There didn't appear to be an option that could be set in yahoo.

Sending Mail To Yahoo
I searched through PHP Freaks and could not find an answer to this. I know it has been asked numerous times, but I cannot find a solution... so here goes.

I can receive mail in my Gmail account but not in yahoo. I am using sendmail on my own server. I thought maybe I am getting thrown in the spam folder, but it is not showing up at all. Code:

Mail() Not Getting To Gmail Or Yahoo
The site I'm working on has the need to send out e-mails to its users (account creation, modification, etc). I've just been using the mail() function to do this with no problems... until I tested the functionality with my gmail account. No dice. I did some reading and found that others who were having the gmail problem also could not get emails to yahoo, so I got an account there and tried it... also no dice.

I've been all over the net trying different header tricks, I've checked my server info at dnsreport (found a NS problem but it has been corrected), I can verify the header information looks correct through my pop mail program, I don't get a single error when the script runs... it just... doesn't work.

I have another domain on the exact same box that sends a notification to my gmail account every night via a cron job script that I got over a year and a half ago. That notification works just fine, so I know that it isn't a server setting or something else I don't have control over. I've looked through the code for that script and can't made heads or tails of it to be honest... it does a bunch of crazy header stuff with boundary strings and base64 encoding because its job is to send a backup file.

The real kicker is that my friend who also has a gmail account received a notice from the script about two weeks ago when he tested it for me. I had a relative test it about a week ago and of the 4 or so e-mails they should've gotten from the script, they got 2. They have a Yahoo account.

In my own testing, nothing is getting through. My host did just recently move me to a new box... I guess that might have something to do with it, but it doesn't make sense that it would work for one of my domains and not the other.

Anyway, here's the code I'm using: .....

Pulling Options Lists From Mysql Tables
I've set up a form to load data into my db, but rather than hard code the options lists for three of the form fields, I'd like to pull that information from three lookup tables. This will allow whoever is inputting data to do a simple update for the three lookup tables, and speed enter the data into the form for the fourth (data) table without having to alter the code in the form.

Here's the wish list. The three lookup tables have a key field and a description field. I want to display the description field content for selection by the user in the form (for example, from EventClass table,

display "Single Pony" and return "1" to the CompClass field if Single Pony is selected
Display "Pair Pony" and return "2" to the CompClass field if Pair Pony is selected
display "Single Horse" and return "3" to the CompClass field if Single Horse" is selected
(etc.)

in EventScores), and have the key field content loaded with the data into the data table. Once I've figured the coding for one, I can duplicate the effort for the other two tables.

I have seen PHP coding inserted inside php code. I've never seen this particular practice in any other language I've programmed in. Is this how a connect/query is handled inside a form which is inside a php script? <?PHP <form><?PHP ?> </form> ?> ??

To put it another way, I want to retrieve the data from a table and display it in the options box of the form. Then, when a option value is selected, I want the key for that value returned to the table in which data is being loaded.

One Result Set Makes Two Lists With Same Keys And Values
I have a page with two drop-downs, each listing the same employee names
and their id's as the values. So they look like:
<select name="selection_1">
<option value="12">Curly</option>
<option value="8">Larry</option>
<option value="36">Moe</option>
</select>

....then further down the page:

<select name="selection_2">
<option value="12">Curly</option>
<option value="8">Larry</option>
<option value="36">Moe</option>
</select>

Currently I am doing this, which works but seems sloppy:

<select name="selection_1">
<?
while($employees=mysql_fetch_assoc($qry_rslt)) {
/* ADD NAMES TO DROPDOWN WITH emp_id's AS THEIR VALUES */
?><option
value="<?=$employees['emp_id']?>"><?=$employees['name']?></option><?

/* CREATE ANOTHER ARRAY WITH THE emp_id AS THE KEY */
$emp_list_2[$employees['emp_id']]=$employees['name'];
}
?>
</select>

Then on the second drop-down:

<select name="selection_2">
<?
foreach($emp_list_2 as $key => $emps) {
?>
<option value="<?=$key?>"><?=$emps?></option>
<?
}
?>
</select>

Hotmail Like Mail Client
Is their any PHP script available to start mail service like hotmail.com or that provided by EveryOne.net

TheIMP won't have the mechanism to create new mail boxes.

Username, Password, And Hotmail?
I have a script that collects a username and password which doesn't
seem to work if the user is a hotmail/msn frame.

When they get a message on the system a notification is sent to them
with a link to the site, and again, that link doesn't work as it
should - unfortunately a lot of the users use hotmail.

What's the problem? What do I need to do?
