PHP function that would return the next to last key (not value) in an array when an array is provided as a parameter. If there are not two or more elements in the array, the function should return false.

What will be the PHP script for this?

December 8, 2009

Its not that I am not able to send emails. It sometimes goes and sometimes doesn't.

I do not know anything about using smtp server for sending emails, not aware internal configuration. I am just writing a php script in my hosted server.

Just need to know anything wrong with my present script????

December 7, 2009

I have echo in *for loop*, so as and when mails are sent it will show me a report $to_id and $to_email in table form.

It is showing me all the emails I have in db...but my issue is that people are not receiving emails....

Does anyone see any error ?

December 7, 2009

I am trying to take email addresses from my database table and send email to everyone. But it shows that the email is sent but most of them complain the email never received...

<?php

$userArray = array();
$i = 0;
$result = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT email_id, email_address FROM submit_emails")or die(mysql_error());
if(!empty($result))

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
	{
	$userArray['id'][$i] = $row['email_id'];
	$userArray['email'][$i] = $row['email_address'];

I am trying to shorten my link using bit.ly API. If someone has idea of using curl and using this API, please let me know

$host = "http://api.bit.ly/shorten?version=2.0.1&longUrl=http://www.ideatoceo.com";
var_dump($host);

I am not properly calling the API or not using curl...please help

Now when you call this function using a script

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script>

It inserts a button(app 100X100 px) on your webpage...

Now instead on tweetmeme people should be able to call

http://MYSITE.com/i/scripts/button.js

December 6, 2009

tweetmeme website has a button called "retweet" which could be inserted on any webpage of any site. You just need to insert this script on your page.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script>

When this button is clicked from your website it connects with twitter, takes your twitter credentials, takes the title and link to your webpage and inserts in that twitter account.

Inserting could be done with another xml api which I have.

I just need help from PHPfreak Guru's and others to develop the same button script on my website. Then lets say phpfreaks.com can call my site using this script and my site allows it to insert tweet and give a count.(same like tweetmeme)

I am trying to retrieve information from this JSON API, getting this error

Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string

My code

$json   = file_get_contents('http://api.tweetmeme.com/url_info.json?url=http://is.gd/lznv');
   $data   = json_decode($json);
   echo $data;

December 4, 2009

Twitter has 10 trending topics always on its site. Can someone help me get those trending on my website.

Any idea where I need to start...

December 3, 2009

I would like my 'for' loop to wait 5 sec before second iteration.

for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++)
{

....
....
//I would like it to wait 5 seconds here
}

December 2, 2009

Ok I fixed it...

I had to insert the style color and size in the <td> tags itself

December 2, 2009

I did not get you...

What should I do to above code to accept the styles too?

In my hosting provider service(godaddy) I have edited my spf value

v=spf1 a mx ptr ip4: xx.xx.xxx.xxx  mx:mailstore.server.net mx:smtp.server.net +all

My SRV or AAAA records under DNS are still empty. Do I need to edit that too?

Will making my emails as High priority avoid them from going in 'spam'

..
..
..
        $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ; 
        $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n"; 
        $headers .= "X-Priority: 1 (Higuest)\n"; 
        $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n"; 
        $headers .= "Importance: High\n"; 

$status   = mail($to, $subject, $message,$headers);

my emails are still going in spam, help me

Many forums like this one or canadavisa dot com are based on similar php code.

Where and how to start like this one?

November 25, 2009

I am mailing emails, have a unsubscribe link at the bottom on email.

How do I delete those folks who click unsubscribe automatically without letting them take any further steps?

November 25, 2009

My from name is five letter xxxxx@ideatoceo.com

I think I should request Godaddy to set me up on different IP ? Any ideas?

November 25, 2009

Ok i got this from other site

the recipient’s spam filter checks if all headers exist in sender’s email and since you are using simple mail() function it will be almost with empty header so that means high risk of spam  to solve that problem you need to use some more complicated mailer class

and the best solution is to use gmail account as SMTP relay

How can I optimize my header more

November 25, 2009

I am using a header like this, but still no help ??

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: name@mysite.com' . "\r\n";
mail($to_email, $subject, $message, $headers);

Any more ideas?
