In my code I call PEAR::isError to see if there was an error in the SQL Query so I can log it but its always returning this error. Does anyone know a fix? I have tried to search google it and found http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=9950 but it does not say how to fix it. Does anyone have any ideas?

Error
Non-static method PEAR::isError() should not be called statically

$query = "SELECT
Column
            FROM
             TableName";
$res = $db['database']->query($query);
if (PEAR::isError($res)) {
  $logger->err("Error pulling results from DB. Query:" . $query);
}

When I put all my code in one file, everything runs smooth, as soon as I try to put a chunk of code in a separte PHP file and use an include or require_once I get the error Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in...PEAR\config.php yadda yadda

I've done some research and I understand that passing an object by reference (&obj) is no longer acceptable in PHP 5, that's fine, but no where in my code do I have an ampersand, and again, it all works fine if it's all in the same .php file. So i figure i might be doing something wrong with my includes or something.

The errors that I am getting are

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Config.php on line 80

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Config.php on line 166

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Config\Container.php on line 111

Code: [Select]
include('config.php');
connect();

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($ran_result)) {
    $ran_image = $row['image'];
    $category = $row['category'];
    $last = $row['l_name'];
    $first = $row['f_name'];
    $return = $row['item_return'];
}

echo "<div id='random'>\n";
echo "<h1>Random Signatures</h1>\n";
echo "<img src='../auto_images/$ran_image' /><br />\n";
echo "<p><a href='../auto_pages/signatures.php?c=$category&l=$last&f=$first'>$first $last</a></p>\n";
echo "<p>$return</p>\n";
echo "<br>";
echo "</div>";
?>
Am I doing something wrong with the include?

Hi all

I wonder if people can help me out here.

It's a "bespoke" vs "framework" question, so not sure its belongs in here, but I didn't want to post it in the ZEND group, as it may have many more "pro ZEND fans" who read it, and I wanted a general thought.

This is all based on the fact that I have a big project coming up and I want to know if I should be sticking with a custom job, or if something like ZEND is the way to go.

Basically I have been developing PHP for about 2 years now and I have always thought a custom site written from scratch was the best way to go, not only does it allow you to have the minimal code needed to run the site, therefore reducing load, space and bandwidth, but it also allows you to know exactly how the system works, I guess the downside is that you have to spend more time doing the coding.

But I have a few friends who use frameworks, ZEND has been coming up more and more, it's not really my ideal system to use as I prefer coding from scratch (not sure why),  but they swear by it, and always tell me its great, its winning awards and none of them code from scratch, one of them even quoted that it "will become the standard for development" - is this true?

Apart from being massively bulky and containing tons of files with scripts and functions that you might never ever use, what do people see as a downside to ZEND, If any?

Is it best to code from scratch, and if so, why? Or does using something like ZEND much better?

I guess if you always use ZEND, then you never really enhance your skill as a coder and never really learn anything new, plus I always think it's kind of cheeky using a pre-built system.

Is there a good argument that would say using ZEND is not really a good idea? Or is the general feeling toward ZEND being a good thing?

Surely if people know ZEND, they know how to play the security of the site to there advantage and therefore can break the security of other ZEND systems, or at least cause some hacks to a site.

Any thoughts would be great

Thanks everyone

I am trying to send an email to my gmail account using Mail SMTP.

With the following code:
<?php
include 'incl/php/Mail.php';

$recipients = 'xxxxxxxx@gmail.com';

$headers['From']    = 'no-reply@newzstand.us';
$headers['To']      = $recipients;
$headers['Subject'] = 'Test message';
$headers['Date'] = date('r', time());
$headers['Message-Id'] = '<'.  microtime(true).'@newzstand.us>';

$body = 'Test message';

$domain = preg_replace("/.*@([^@]*)/", '\1', $recipients);
$mxrr = getmxrr($domain, $mxhosts);
$params['host'] = $mxhosts[0];
$params['localhost'] = 'mail.newzstand.us';
$params['username'] = 'no-reply';
$params['password'] = 'xxxxxxx';

// Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method
$mail_object =& Mail::factory('smtp', $params);

$send = $mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($send)){
echo $send->getMessage();
}else{
echo 'No error';
}
?>

I get the following message:
Failed to connect to alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com:25 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Connection refused (code: -1, response: )]

Why is Gmail refusing me?
