Hi,

Lately, I've been looking for a nice affordable newsletter management system in PHP. It needs to be hosted in my server - I'm not looking for an ASP.

I've actually found up a few ones, but I don't like them for the following:

1. Octeth oemPro - A nice interface, nice set of features, but a friend told me that the e-mails don't actually work (not even activation e-mails, although test e-mails went great). Plus, their forums seem very closed to me - usually that's not a good sign :\
2. Interspire SendStudio - Not fancy-at-all interface, and a weak set of features, when compared to oemPro
3. ActiveCampaign's 1-2-All - Great features, great looks, (seems to have a) great support! Downsides: very expensive, seems that some files are encoded, removing customization possibilities
4. eMail Manager Pro - Great pricing, great looks - lacks features. For example, it has no custom user fields.
5. PHPList - Awful looks, lacks features. Free...

This brings me to a problem: where do I look at? Have you experienced with any of these? What do you think about the price/quality relationship of these? Do you know any good alternatives? Free ones too?

Thanks :)

It seems to me that DaniWeb is a really big website, probably with tons of advertisers.

It also seems to me that you have a really fast server, and probably a nice ISP :P

40k members is also alot...

So, if someone offered to purchase the website, what would be the fair price?

Altough I'm asking it, it's not for me... But I might have an interested friend :)

Hi,

Does anyone know what's the font that McAfee uses for its logo? Here's a screenshot:

Thanks (at least for reading :P )!

Hi!

I'm building a login system for my application, but I'm having a little problem... It really needs top security, so I'm using both MySQL backend and cookies.

Example:
LOGIN FORM > VALIDATION > INSERT SECURE SESSION ID INTO DATABASE > STORE COOKIE WITH INFORMATION

That's for the login. For the authentication, I demand more than the "s" (for session) variable in the URL - that will only be any good combined with the cookie. So here's the authentication scheme, when the user enters a page:

CHECK FOR "S" VARIABLE if it exists > CHECK FOR A RECORD OF THE "S" ID IN DATABASE (with some extra security, but that one works and it's a secret :) ) if it exists > CHECK FOR "S" IN COOKIE > FETCH USERNAME FROM COOKIE; MATCH WITH SESSION > FETCH USER INFORMATION FROM COOKIE

However, I need to store several variables into the user's cookie. I have them in an array, and I'd like to store them like phpBB does. I think they use the PHP serialize() function. However, when I decode the cookie with some regular decoder, here's what I get:

****** [I](cookie name)[/I]
s:12:\"1r. Benedict\";
*******.*******.***/******/ [i](address)[/i]
1536
1389618816
29709504
748388000
29709500
*

Here's the code:

function verifylogin() {
	cnt();
	echo("<!-- Connected to database -->\n");
	$user = $_POST['userName'];
	echo("<!-- Obtained username: '".$user."' -->\n");
	$pass = $_REQUEST['password'];
	echo("<!-- Obtained password: 'big secret ;)' -->\n");
	$pass = [it gets encrypted here];
	echo("<!-- Password has been encrypted! -->\n<!-- Starting …

Thanks, will try :P

Knew it had something to do with htaccess :)

Hi!

I have a PHP application with alot of files, and I really needed an easy way out of this.

Most of the files call the session_start(); function. However, my /tmp space is too small, and so it keeps returning me errors.

I found out a work-around, by adding ini_set('session.save_handler','files'); before session_start();.

I really don't want to modify everything manually, so I needed some way of defining the session.save_handler variable for an entire directory.

Is it possible?

Thanks.

Anyone? I really need this for a school project...

Here's the result of ipconfig (again in screenshot):

When I go to the "Support" separator of my connection Properties, I get this:

Address Type: Assigned by DHCP
IP Address: 192.168.0.75 (this one keeps changing, I think...)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 127.0.0.1

The above were returned in the laptop. Am I supposed to give you the desktop ones?

Thanks.

Thanks for your pacience.

As for my network details, it's not very complex: this laptop connects through a crossed-over ethernet cable into another ethernet port in the desktop. Once in the desktop, another ethernet port connects into the modem.

Just in case it's needed, the modem is currently USRobotics. I said currently because I'm expecting my ISP to send me a new one - they are upgrading their network.

As I couldn't copy/paste the result, I took a screenshot.

As for DMR, I'm afraid I don't know what a NIC is... I'm using cable access; this computer connects to another one in my network; not sure: I know I get a different IP everytime I reset my modem :o

Hello everyone.

I am running RedHat 9 in VMWare 4. Everything works fine, except for the Internet connection, which I can't configure.

I am connected to a home network, with two computers. I can access the Internet from this computer using Windows XP (my host OS), but it doesn't seem to work in RedHat. My ISP doesn't require authentication nor anything like that, as it is an always-on connection.

I have tried to string all eth0 files with the "check_link_down" function, and that made eth0 return a success message when I do "ifup eth0", instead of the "check cable" message I was getting. But still, the Internet doesn't work... What can I do?

Thanks in advance, from a newbie :)

Hum... That should solve my problem.

I am installing RedHat 9, and the installation process is suspended when the error occurrs, leaving me only with the Reboot option. Perhaps if I run the setup in Text mode?

TIA

PS: The error occurs with the file "db4-4.0.14-20": "The Berkeley DB database library (version 4) for C."
