From your posting in a thread below, you are at the beginner level in the learning phase. It will take you quite a while before you become competent. I would suggest you grab hold of this book and work through it doing some of the exercises.

Beginning PHP and MySQL: From Novice to Professional by W. Jason Gilmore

You could also visit the nettuts website, search for beginning php, and view their video tutorials.

When you feel you have reached some maturity in this PHP/MySQL subject, go look at, for example, SourceForge[^] who have a number of Open Source projects under some level of development.

You could easily find the nettuts website by asking our friends at Google. But as you clearly didn't, here is their website's front door to all of their offerings. http://net.tutsplus.com/[^]

Here is their first video in the "diving into PHP" video series http://blog.themeforest.net/tutorials/diving-into-php-video-series/[^]

You can get PHP from http://www.php.net/[^]. No doubt you can find the other two for yourself.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Install XAMPP or WAMP...

WAMP is enough for the whole development envirnment?
I am on the beginning level, so want to know more about it.

Yes! WAMP is enough, I'm not familiar with WAMP, becouse I'm using XAMPP, and IIS with installed PHP.

Yes, WAMP is good for local Server. But we shall also need the server-side Application language[PHP] with the Database for storing captured Information.

Go to this page here and it gives a full rundown of how-to for differing applications. XAMPP or WAMP products are very good. I have tried XAMPP and it installs very easily and sets up very well. Easy to use and learn. It installs mysql, php, apache etc for you all at once as I assume WAMP does also. To answer one of your posts, either product provides a whole package for you to begin.

help for smtp and ssl

hello everybody

i registered for a very good free webhosting with nice subdomain which offers POP3 IMAP and SMTP with SSL/TLS and many other features.

when i created my webmaster e-amil, the control panel gives me the feature to make a test.
so i did and it worked very good.

so the next step was to test this in a php script and it worked good too, here it is:
--------------------

PHP

<?php
$from    = "webmaster@my-subdomain";
$to      = "my-other-email@external-domain";
$subject = "testing";
$body    = "testing the mail function";

if(mail($to,$from,$subject,$body)) {echo "success\n";}
else {echo "failure\n";}
?>

--------------------
now i want send emails with ssl authentication and after build a customized client for sending mails and viewing reiceived mails. i searched for that and i found some interresting things, and i understood that they used some third party packages, like phpmailer, curl and pear's mail which need to be installed and modify the php.ini file for ssl library, allowing to send via external servers like gmail which is very nice thing and i know that i can use it with my subdomain server as well.

the problem is that i don't have access to the php.ini file, and even if i can, i don't want do that because i know that i have already everything installed with my registration, and the proof was the two test e-mails.

what i can't know is which package my registeration is using. i give some config infos of my subdomain that i got from phpinfo() to help you :

i have the incoming and outgoing servers with their corresponding ports for both secured and non secured mail services (servers used for ssl and non-ssl are different).

PHP Version 5.3.3
---------------------------------
Registered Stream Socket Transports : tcp, udp, unix, udg, ssl, sslv3, sslv2, tls

mail.add_x_header On On
---------------------------------
zend.enable_gc On On

SSL Yes
Protocols tftp, ftp, telnet, dict, ldap, ldaps, http, file, https, ftps, scp, sftp

---------------------------------
Sockets Support enabled
---------------------------------

in some tutos, they say that php4 and later (which the case here) comes with built-in pear mail package, but i dont know how to verify that. i think it is an issue, no ?!!!!

so i tried a code (How to Send Email from a PHP Script Using SMTP Authentication By Heinz Tschabitscher) but it gives me a require_once error, because this :
require_once "Mail.php";
it told me that the file deosn't exist in the include path or something like that.

sorry if my message is very long but i want make it clear and easy for anyone want help me.

thank you for your effort.

A little RTFM goes a long way. Open up the PHP manual (online if you were too stupid or lazy to download a free copy) and type "date difference" into the search box.
Work with DateTime and DateInterval objects.
