Send To Friend
I'm trying to implement a php "send to friend" form that I found online, but the emails are not getting sent...
There's one other post in this forum about the very same script, and that guy had the same problem, but it turned out that his problem was related to the eail address he had been using to test the form. (The code is by BigLickMedia.com, BTW - their 'recommend site' code)
I reckon the problem has nothing to do with the code, but some Host Provider setting I'm unaware of.
In the config part of the code, I set the variable $webmasterEmail to a new email address I just created for my domain especialy to handle the 'Send To Friend' stuff, which is diverted to a gmail account. Am I being naive in thinking that the new email address should work immediately, or does it take a few hours/days for it to be 'active'?
I haven't set any spam filter yet, so that's not the problem.
Not knowing much about php (or web hosting in general!), I was wondering if there's some obvious 'setting' (for want of a better word - forgive my ignorance) that the online code neglected to mention I should 'set' with my host provider (Infinology.com). Some cgi-bin thing, php.ini, or some 'permission'...? I'm floundering here! :-)
I ask this vaguely in the hope that there is something obvious. Well, anyway, despite being 99% sure that there's nothing wrong with the code, here is the critical part, just in case: ....

Send This Article To A Friend!
"Send This Article to a Friend" I've seen this type of functionality in some websites. I'll read an article and at the bottom is a way for me to enter an e-maill address and send this URL to a friend. My friend would then receive an e-mail from the website saying something like "Joe Schmoe recommends this page for you to read." I'd like to add this functionality to my site. Any recommendations how to do this?

Friend Classes
Now that PHP5 has proper scoping for class properties and methods, I've been looking in vain for friend classes, or wondering if there's another way to achieve this effect: class A { protected var $v1; .... } class AHelper { .... function .... { .... $helper = new AHelper ( ... ); .... if ($helper->v1) ... } So A has a property which really is not supposed to be public, but AHelper (which does not inherit from A) has a special relationship with A and wants to be able to delve inside it. Note that just providing a public accessor won't help: it's logically the same as making the property public. C++ manages this by having 'friend classes' - classes which are allowed inside a class even though they are not derived from it. I suppose I could write a public accessor method which takes its caller as an argument and checks its type before it will go ahead and fetch the value; but that's inelegant, heavy, and only takes effect at run time. Has anybody got any better suggestions? [I see somebody asked the same question two weeks ago on faqts, but did not get an answer)

The Server - Enemy Or Friend
how to write my webpages as there is a lot of code reuse. In C++ I would include many files to a page, making many functions accessible to them, thus reusing code efficiently. This greatly speeds up development time and perhaps only slows compilation time by a bit. In Php, however, I am afraid this might slow down the server. The ugly and maybe faster for the server way: Copy paste a lot of code and modify small parts. (Example: I have many pages dealing with text input forms - same structure, only different names to forms). The nice clean but maybe slower for the server way: Create functions that generate the desired html code. As well as include some of my php function files I might not use in some pages. I would go with option 2 if I only knew how much extra work is there for the server. Is this a consideration? When a website has 10 users this would not matter. But what if there are a thousand users? How much of an issue is this on the long run?

Email-a-friend Feature
i am considering adding a feature to my project that will allow users to send an email to a friend which contains a link to the current page. i've seen this in many places on the internet such as msnbc.com, etc. the user will be able to enter a friend's email address and write a short message. most of the email message (a greeting, a link, some text) will be beyond the user's control. but they will be able to type a short message. do spammers generally attack this kind of feature? in the event it does get attacked, is there any reliable way to detect spamming like screening by IP or something?

Forwarding Email To A Friend
I am making a html mailer for one of my clients for them to distribute to people in their database, the problem is that they would like a forward to a friend option at the bottom of the email where the person reading it can input another email address, click submit and it is forwarded on. I am not too convinced that it can be done as when the email is viewed it is on the users machine and not the server, and i wouldnt have thought that you could submit a form to a remote server? Does anyone have any information on this?

Refer A Friend Code
I know this is a php forum, but I find this forum the most helpful and it seems to have very intelligent people who actually help. Simple HTML would be the best.

"tip A Friend" Script
I have thought about putting a "Tip a friend" link on my side where a user can email the URL currently viewed with a small message to a friend. i think i could make a simple one using $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] but maybe you guys know of a script already that i could use. One other thing is the posibility for a spammer or some evil minded user to abuse this feature - which i would like to avoid ofcourse.
