Hi diskhub,

I was wondering if you tell me what the @ before php functions does? I see it around a lot.

Thanks,

Larry

Hi Larry,

The @ symbol before a function is a error supressor e.g.

@mail(.........);

would stop:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in

from showing in the browser.

diskhub,

While i was writing the code in between u already posted your code.

also i provided two options , aryan u can use any of the code according to your requirement.

Fair enough :P

I really appreciate any help I can get! I sometimes struggle with code and I have no one to turn to because I have no coding friends. So once again thank you : )

did it work?

Hi Dave,

Like Larry said, you will need to use a web host as PHP mail proberly isnt enabled on your localhost.

Try something like:

<?php
$eol = "\r\n";
$to = ""; //the recipitant
$subject = ""; // the subject
$message = ""; // the message
$headers = "From: Your name<no-reply@your-domain>$eol";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0$eol";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1$eol";
	
if(@mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
echo "SENT";
}

else {
echo "NOT SENT";
}
?>

my code is much more effective, why would you wan't to echo the whole string?

You probably guessed but I meant create and not creaye

Hi Drew,

Everyone makes spelling mistakes :P

if($response->IsApproved()) {
	$eol = "\r\n";
	$to = ""; //the recipitant
	$subject = ""; // the subject
	$message = ""; // the thank you message
	$headers = "From: Drew Park <no-reply@your-domain>$eol";
	
	if(@mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
		header("Location: " . $GatewaySettings['PaymentApprovedPage']);
	}
}

else {
	header("Location: " . $GatewaySettings['PaymentDeniedPage'] . "?gateway_error=" . rawurlencode($response->GetField("ResponseReasonText")));
}

else {
	header("Location: " . $GatewaySettings['PaymentDeniedPage'] . "?gateway_error=" . rawurlencode($transaction->GetErrorString($errorCode)));
}
?>

Hi,

First things first:

The cgi-bin (common gate interface bin) is a storage area for CGI/Perl scripts.

I am not sure why you are placing your PHP files in their, PHP is a server-side language and it should execute anywhere on a server with PHP enabled.

In regards to your 404 error, are you sure your files are located in the following location: /cgi-bin/php/myscript.php ?

Also /cgi-bin/ is a relative folder, if you like a kind of virtual folder. I would suggest you move your files outside this folder unless you have a valid reason for having them in there... I am sure they are not secure in their as the CGI-BIN is generally chmod'ed to 0777 (read, write, execute) persmissions.

Sorry for the long reply.

<?php
$input = str_replace("£", "&pound;", $input);
?>

where $input is the string you are entering into a text file.

<?php
$url = "http://www.example.com/swf/";
$url .= $url . $_GET["code"];
?>

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:470px;height:320px;" data="<?php echo $url; ?>">
<param name="movie" value="<?php echo $url; ?>" />
<param name="quality" value="very high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

<param name="bgcolor" value="" />
<param name="autoplay" value="true" />
<param name="allownetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />

<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
