Sending Mail with an attachment July 14, 2009

Here is the source code for sending mail with Image as an attachment. In my example, I have used Linux -Debian -PHP 5 version to check mail attachment. I tried with sending Gif and PNG image. Its works well. I hope it works for other too.. Change the content type image/gif to image/png for PNG and image/jpeg for JPG images.

/* Editable part */
$subject = ‘PHP Mail Attachment Test’;
$bound_text = “shiva123″;
$bound = “–”.$bound_text.”\r\n”;
$bound_last = “–”.$bound_text.”–\r\n”;

/* ////////////////FILE NAME & PATH //////////////*/
$filename=”logo.png”;
$file_path=”/tmp/”.$filename;

/* //////////From and To Address ////////////////*/
$to =”from@domain.com”;
$headers =”From: to@domain.com\r\n”;

/* /////////////////////NON-EDITABLE PART /////////////////*/
$headers .= “MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n”
.”Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\”$bound_text\”";
$message .= $bound;
$message .= “Content-Type: text/html; charset=\”iso-8859-1\”\r\n”
.”Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n”;

$message.=”Hai this is example of sending Mail with Attachments\r\n”.$bound;

$file = file_get_contents($file_path);

$message .= “Content-Type: image/gif; name=\”".$filename.”\”\r\n”
.”Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n”
.”Content-disposition: attachment; file=\”".$filename.”\”\r\n”
.”\r\n”
.chunk_split(base64_encode($file))
.$bound_last;
/*////////////////////////////// NON-EDITABLE ENDS HERE ////////// */

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); // sending mail

Thanks Jim Plush!

File Upload – PHP – curl February 12, 2009

1. Upload file from html page.
2. Uploaded file coming to same server. The server reads the file and passing it into Another Server. The server passing only data to remote server not as file.( You cant retrieve using $_FILES @ remote server side)
   $data =$_FILES['myfile']; // Retrieve the file in presence server
   $curl = curl_init();
   $filename =”b_”.time().$data['name']; // giving dynamic file name
   move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'],$filename); // Moving the file to presence server
   $fp = fopen($filename,”r”); // Open the file
   print “File Uploaded Successfully to the Server using Curl“;
   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, “url”);
   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1);
   curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_UPLOAD,true);
   curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_REFERER,true);
   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_INFILE,$fp);
   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE,filesize($filename));
   $result = curl_exec($curl);
   unlink($filename);
   fclose($fp);
   curl_close($curl);
3. Remote Server received the file using the below code and Display the data.
   $putdata=file_get_contents(‘php://input’); // retrieve the data in Remote server
   $filename =”b_”.time();
   $fp = fopen($filename,”w”);
   fwrite($fp,$putdata);
   fclose($fp);
   $file_details =exec(“file $filename”); // using linux command retrieve file information.
   print “**********************At Server Side********************”;
   print “File Details:“.$file_details.”";
   print ‘Contents are :‘;
   echo $putdata;
4. finish

Ajax September 9, 2008

Ajax ( Asychronous javascript and Xml)  nowadays used in Web development.

Synchronous:

In ajax, all the request are sending in the form of request. If the request mode is in Synchronous, then the program can continue ONLY after the response got it. Else it wait for some span of time and continue the program after the time elapsed.

Asynchronous :

This type of request, the program will continue the execution and will not wait for the response. The readystate which tells whether response arrived or not.

Where we differentiate the Sync or Async request in a code:

1. xmlHttp = new XmlHttpRequest();

   xmlHttp.open(“GET”,”test.php”,true); // Asynchronous

   xmlHttp.open(“GET”,”test.php”,false);  // Synchronous

if true means Asynchronous Mode. false means Synchronous mode.

Drawback of Ajax:

* Does not supported cross domain access.

Note : since Firefox 3.0.10, Support for Cross-Site XmlHttpRequest has been removed until the specification becomes more stable and the security model is improved.

I tried to fetch the data from other server. but its failed.
If you want to access the cross domain thru Ajax, use JSON instead.  JSON will support to fetch the data thru javascript.

Passing form values in an array format July 24, 2008

Here is the code that you shall pass the form values in an array format. The name with [] that identify is an array. At the php side, just mention $_POST['dorm'] to receive the parameter values posted from Form.

1. Html Code:

   <form name=”myform” method=”post” onsubmit=”check()”>
   <input type=”text” name=”dorm[]“>
   <input type=”text” name=”dorm[]“>
   <input type=”text” name=”dorm[]“>
   <input type=”text” name=”dorm[]“>
   <input type=”text” name=”dorm[]“>
   <input type=”text” name=”dorm[]“>
   <input type=”submit” name=”submit” value=”S”>
   </form>

2. Javascript Validation:
   function check_All()
   {
   var form = document.myform.elements;
   for(var i=0;i<form.length;i++)
   {
   //  alert(form[i].name);
   }
   }
   function check_particular()
   {
   var txtbox = document.myform.elements['dorm[]‘]; // Returns the node list; node list stored as an array;
   // Find an length
   var len = txtbox.length
   // Retrive the value
   if (txtbox[0].value==”")
   alert(” Mandatory to fill up the first field”);

   }

3. //Receiving the passing values at PHP side
   <?
   $values = $_POST['dorm'];
   print_r($values);
   ?>

Rollover Images July 18, 2008

Roll-over Images:

I saw the people who use front page or dreamweaver for rollover images. but if we write the code that takes very less code and maintenance also easy. here is the javascript code which perform the same thing i.e automatically change the images every 100 milli seconds.

1. Html Code:

   <img src=”images/1.png” id=”img” border=”0″>

2. Javascript:
   Create a new object called imgtime using Object function.
   imgtime.img=0;
   setTimeout(“img()”,100);

   function img()
   {
   var k= imgtime.img+1;

   if (k<6) <!–5 images max–>
   {
   imgtime.img=k;
   var imgsrc=”images/”+k+”.png”; <!– give the image name here–>
   document.getElementById(“img”).src=imgsrc;
   setTimeout(“img()”,100);
   }
   else
   repeatimg(); <!–reset–>
   }

   function repeatimg()
   {
   imgtime.img=0;
   img();
   }

Checkbox & Radio July 18, 2008

Javascript code for checking the Checkbox and Radio button whether checked or not.

1. Script Code:
   var chk = document.form.checkboxname;  // return Node list

   for(var i=0;i<chk.length;i++)
   {

   if(chk[i].checked==true)

   {

   // do

   }

   // you can do this while reset

   chk[i].checked=false;// make checked false
   chk[i].disabled=false;  // enable if you disbled already
   }
