PHP - Critique My Email Class
I am in the process of building my own MVC framework (just to learn the concepts) and I decided to throw some libraries and helpers in the mix to make things more convenient. Below is my email helper in which I want to be able to use an array as the "to" part of the mail() function. I was wondering what everyone thought of my class and if I can improve upon it. Thanks!
Code: [Select] <?php /** * To use this email class in it's most basic form: * * $to must be an array even if you are sending to only one recipient. * You declare it like so: * $to = array('recipient'); * or * $to = array('one', 'two', 'three'); * $sendMail = new Email($to, 'subject', 'message'); * if ($sendMail->send()) { * // success * } else { * // failure * } * * To add various features (declare these before using $sendMail-send()): * To add a CC address: * $sendMail->setCC('email address'); * To add a BCC address: * $sendMail->setBCC('email address'); * To set the from name: * $sendMail->setFromName('name of sender'); * To set the from email: * $sendMail->setFromEmail('email of sender'); * To set a content type (default is text/html): * $sendMail->setContentType('content type'); * To set a charset (default is iso-8859-1): * $sendMail->setCharset('charset'); */ class Email { public $to = array(); public $subject; public $message; public $fromName; public $fromEmail; public $cc; public $bcc; public $contentType; public $charset; private $_headers; public function __construct($to, $subject, $message) { if (!is_null($to) && !is_array($to)) { throw new Exception('The recipient names must be an array, even if there is only one recipient.'); } if (is_null($to) || is_null($subject) || is_null($message)) { throw new Exception('There must be at least one recipient, a subject, and a message.'); } $this->to = $to; $this->subject = $subject; $this->message = $message; } public function setCC($cc = NULL) { $this->cc = $cc; } public function setBCC($bcc = NULL) { $this->bcc = $bcc; } public function setFromName($fromName = 'Website Name') { $this->fromName = $fromName; } public function setFromEmail($fromEmail = 'admin@website.com') { $this->fromEmail = $fromEmail; } public function setContentType($contentType = 'text/html') { $this->contentType = $contentType; } public function setCharset($charset = 'iso-8859-1') { $this->charset = $charset; } private function _setHeaders() { $this->_headers = "Content-type: " . $this->contentType .

I have written a small class to get all of the information from the URL. I am sure I have added my own style and broken about a million rules. I have already found places to improve this but I thought I would bounce it off everyone here before I started to make changes and started expanding it. I am also aware that there are classes that I can download that do this much better but I am trying to better understand how they work so I think this is a good start. Can you just look it over and point out things that I have done wrong and give me some general pointers on how to improve it. class uri extends mainframe{ private $path = null; private $pathParse = array(); private $component = null; private $view = null; private $host = null; private $dirDepth = null; public $queryString = array(); function __construct() { $this->getHost(); $this->getPath(); $this->getView(); $this->getQueryString(); } /* * Check to see if we are in the base folder */ function dirDepth($base) { $this->dirDepth = config::DDEPTH + $base; return $this->dirDepth; } /* * return the host address */ function getHost() { $this->host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; return $this->host; } /* * return the path information */ function getPath() { $this->path = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; return $this->path; } /* * returns the query string in an array * * I am sure this isn't the right way to do this * but it is working. */ function getQueryString() { $this->getPath(); preg_match('/\?(.*)/', $this->path, $queryString); if ($queryString == true) { $queryPairs = array(); $queryString = (isset($queryString['1']) ? $queryString['1'] : null); $queryPairs = explode('&', $queryString); $queryStrings = array(); $pairs = array(); foreach ($queryPairs as $queryPairs) { preg_match('/(.*)=(.*)/', $queryPairs, $pairs); array_push($queryStrings, $pairs); } $key = array(); $value = array(); foreach ($queryStrings as $queryStrings) { array_push($value, (isset($queryStrings['2']) ? $queryStrings['2'] : null)); array_push($key, (isset($queryStrings['1']) ? $queryStrings['1'] : null)); } $this->queryString = array_combine($key, $value); return $this->queryString; }else{ unset($this->queryString); } } /* * returns the path in an array and removes the query string */ function pathParse() { self::getPath(); $this->pathParse = explode('/', $this->path); $endCheck = preg_replace('/\?(.*)/','', array_pop($this->pathParse)); array_push($this->pathParse, $endCheck); $this->pathParse = array_filter($this->pathParse); if(!empty($this->pathParse)) { return $this->pathParse; }else{ unset($this->pathParse); } } /* * returns the first part of the path */ function getComponent() { self::pathParse(); self::dirDepth('1'); if(!empty($this->pathParse[$this->dirDepth])) { $this->component = $this->pathParse[$this->dirDepth]; return $this->component; }else{ unset($this->component); } } /* * returns the second part of the path */ function getView() { self::pathParse(); self::dirDepth('2'); if(!empty($this->pathParse[$this->dirDepth])) { $this->view = $this->pathParse[$this->dirDepth]; return $this->view; }else{ unset($this->view); } } /* * Ummmmm need some help here for sure. */ function __destruct() { } } $uri = new uri(); Thank you in advance for your help! As some of you know, I am still learning the fundamentals of good php code practice and have been working on a custom application for my own practice and personal schooling. My below code IS working as expected, but I wanted any ideas or critique on better, more secure, faster, etc methods of it.. Thanks for any input: <?php $id = mysqli_real_escape_string($cxn, $_GET['id']); $city_name = mysqli_real_escape_string($cxn, $_GET['city_name']); $posts_by_city_sql = "SELECT id, city_id, title FROM postings WHERE city_id='$id'"; $posts_by_city_results = (mysqli_query($cxn, $posts_by_city_sql)) or die("Was not able to grab the Postings!"); $row_cnt = mysqli_num_rows($posts_by_city_results); if ($row_cnt == 0) { printf("We're sorry. There are %d postings in: <strong>$city_name</strong>", $row_cnt); } else { printf("Congratulations!

But when I change "From" address other than my domain email address then it stop working. for example $headers["From"] = 'myname@mydomain.com'; -- working $headers["From"] = 'myname@otherdomain.com'; - not working. myname@otherdomain.com is working and I am able to send email separately. Any idea about this problem. - Thanks I am currently working on my email class, it works but I am do slight modifications to make it a little better. Here is the function I am working on: function addAccount($name, $email, $username, $password, $protocol, $port, $server){ if(!empty($name) && !empty($email) && !empty($username) && !empty($password) && !empty($protocol) && !empty($port) && !empty($server)){ echo $this->db->select(TBL_SMTP, "email", "email = '$email'")->numRows();// This line here returns -1 if($this->db->select(TBL_SMTP, "email", "email = '$email'")->numRows() == 0){ $name = ucwords(strtolower($name)); $email = strtolower($email); $this->db->execute("INSERT INTO ".TBL_SMTP." (name, email, username, password, protocol, port, server) VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$username', '$password', '$protocol', '$port', '$server')"); return true; }else return false; } return false; } Notice the line I marked that said, this returns -1. Well I thought if it did not exist in the database, that it was suppose to return 0? Any help? Oh here is my database class: <?php class Database{ var $mysqli, $result, $q, $affectedRows; function __construct($host, $user, $pass, $db){ $this->mysqli = new MySQLi($host, $user, $pass, $db); } function execute($query, $error = false, $mode = MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT){ $this->q = $query; if(!$error) $result = $this->mysqli->query($query, $mode); else $result = $this->mysqli->query($query, $mode) or die($this->mysqli->error); if(is_object($result) && $result instanceof MySQLi_Result){//if result is a object and is part of the mysqli class? $this->result = $result; $this->affectedRows = $this->result->num_rows; }else $this->affectedRows = $this->mysqli->affected_rows; return $this; } function fetchRow($mode = MYSQLI_ASSOC){ return $this->result->fetch_assoc($mode); } function fetchAll($mode = MYSQLI_ASSOC){ $row = $this->result->fetch_all($mode); return !empty($row) ? $row : array();//if not empty return row, else return an array? } function numRows(){ return $this->affectedRows; } function delete($table, $where){ return $this->execute("DELETE FROM ".$table."

Hi, I hope this is still a relevant topic here. I don't have a lot of coding experience and haven't studied it a college -- I'm just self taught hobbyist. I was wondering what your opinion is of the way I have structured my code and solved what I needed to do. Any tips or feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Code: [Select] <?php $form_submission=$_POST["query"]; $lines = file('eo_dic.txt', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES); preg_match_all('/[\w\'\ŝ\ĉ\ĵ\ŭ\ĥ\Ŝ\Ĉ\Ĵ\Ŭ\Ĥ]+|[,.;!"?-\s\\(\\)]/', $form_submission, $matches); foreach ($matches[0] as $value){ // Check if $value is a word or something else. if ($value == " " || $value == "," || $value == "." || $value == "(" || $value == ")" || $value == "!" || $value == "?" || $value == "-" || $value == ";" || $value == '"'){ echo $value; } else { // $value is a word. $titleText = array(); // store results in array. foreach ($lines as $line){ list($field1, $field2) = explode('=', $line); if (strcasecmp($field1, $value) == 0 || strcasecmp($field2, $value) == 0){ // Found string in DB. array_push($titleText, "$field1 = $field2"); // Store all finds in array before outputting. } } if (empty($titleText)) { // $value was not found -- array is empty. echo '<a name="translated" class="translated" title="Not found.">' . $value . '</a>'; } else { $arrayOut = implode(" / ", $titleText); // output the results found in the search. echo '<a name="translated" class="translated" title="' . $arrayOut . '">' . $value . '</a>'; } } } unset($value); ?> Hi,
I have a built a website and I want to get some feedback from the members at this forum. I can't seem to post this topic in the Website Critique forum.
Thanks

I know there is something wrong with my issets line but other than that just a general critique of how its shaping up? manager.php <?php session_start(); require "dbconfig.php"; require "functions.php"; if ((isset($_POST['username'])) && (isset($_POST['password']))) { $username = $_POST{'username'}; $password = SHA1($_POST{'password'}); validate($username, $password); } elseif ((!(isset('username'))) && (!(isset('password')))) { require_once "login.php"; } $username = stripslashes($username); $password = stripslashes($password); $username = mysql_real_escape_string($username); $password = mysql_real_escape_string($password); $sql="SELECT * FROM dbusers WHERE username='$username' and password='$password'"; $result = mysql_query($sql); ?> functions.php <?php // This page defines functions used by the login/logout process function validate($username, $password) { } ?> login.php <?php include_once ("globals.php"); ?> <html> <head> <title><?php echo $shortsitename; ?> EW Manager</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo "$stylesheet"; ?>" /> </head> <body> <p id="backtosite"><a href="#" title="Are you lost?">← Back to <?php echo $fedname ?></a></p> <div id="login"> <h1><?php echo $shortsitename; ?> Manager</h1> <form id="loginform" action="" method="POST"> <p><label>Username<br /><input type="text" name="username" id="user_login" class="input" size="15" /></label></p> <p><label>Password<br /><input type="password" name="password" id="user_pass" class="input" size="15" /></label></p> <p class="forgetmenot"><label><input name="rememberme" type="checkbox" id="rememberme" /> Remember Me</label></p> <p class="submit"> <input type="submit" value="Login" class="button-primary" /> </p> </form> </div> </body></html> I am after some advice about doing some rather basic things that wouldnt really be done in OOP and see if there's a better way of doing this. As I just said though I know this is not the required system just one displaying of a form but I think its really cool for just simplying OOP ( ), and I actually understand it, I always need to start off small, understand it all, before I start waffling will show you my code (in no way finished yet, as you can tell from some of the html elements but its principle works: <?php ini_set('display_errors',1); class Form{ public $to; public $user; public $email; public $subject; public $comment; function showForm(){ // displaying of form to the user: echo <<<userform <html> <head> <title>Jez's Contact Form</title> </head> <body> <form id="contact" name="contact" method="post" action="{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}"> <label for="">Enter something:</label><input type="text" id="user" </form> </body> </html> userform; } } if(!array_key_exists('submit',$_POST)) { $myForm = new Form; // now we construct the form: $myForm->showForm(); // print_r($myForm); } ?> If a submit button in the form hasnt been hit, then show form, later on going to do and try out some validation, just wanted some advice before I get too big for my boots as such. Any advice on improving it (obviously finishing my form off of course which is what I will do), but any further advice is greatly appreciated, Jez. Hello, My script below IS finally working, but I was hoping for some aggressive, anal comments for critique.

Hi Can you call Class A's methods or properties from Class B's methods? Thanks. Ok. I know you can pass the object of a class as an argument. Example: class A { function test() { echo "This is TEST from class A"; } } class B { function __construct( $obj ) { $this->a = $obj; } function test() { $this->a->test(); } } Then you could do: $a = new A(); $b = new B($a); Ok so that's one way i know of. I also thought that you could make a method static, and do this: (assuming class A's test is 'static') class B { function test() { A::test(); } } But that is not working. I'd like to know all possible ways of accomplishing this. Any hints are appreciated. thanks Hi, I need to be able to call a class based on variables. E.G. I would normally do: Code: [Select] $action = new pattern1() but i would like to be able to do it dynamicaly: Code: [Select] $patNum = 1; $action = new pattern.$patNum.() Im wondering if that's possible? If so what would the correct syntax be? Many Thanks. I have two classes: ## Admin.php <?php class Admin { public function __construct() { include("Config.php"); } /** * deletes a client * @returns true or false */ function deleteClient($id) { return mysql_query("DELETE FROM usernames WHERE id = '$id'"); } } ?> ## Projects.php <?php class Projects { public function __construct() { include("Config.php"); $this->admin = $admin; $this->dataFolder = $dataFolder; } /** * Deletes a project * @returns true or false */ function deleteProject($id) { $root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; $theDir = $root . $this->dataFolder; $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM projectData WHERE proj_id = '$id'"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) { $mainFile = $row['path']; $thumb = $row['thumbnail']; if ($thumb != 'null') { unlink($theDir . "/" . substr($thumb,13)); } unlink($theDir . "/" . substr($mainFile,13)); } $delete = mysql_query("DELETE FROM projectData WHERE proj_id = '$id'"); $getDir = mysql_query("SELECT proj_path FROM projects WHERE id = '$id'"); $res = mysql_fetch_array($getDir); rmdir($theDir . "/" . $res['proj_path']); return mysql_query("DELETE FROM projects WHERE id = '$id'"); } } ?> How can I call deleteProject() from within Admin.php? Hi people! class FirstOne{ public function FunctionOne($FirstInput){ //do stuff and output value return $value1; } } Then:- class SecondOne{ public function FunctionTwo($AnotherInput){ //do stuff and output value return $value2; } } What I want to know is this, if I want to use FunctionOne() in Class SecondOne do I do it like this:- (Assume as I have instantiated the first class using $Test = new FirstOne(); ) class SecondOne{ function SecondedFunction(){ global $Test; return $Test->FunctionOne(); } public function FunctionTwo($AnotherInput){ //do stuff and output value return $value2; } public function FunctionThree(){ //some code here $this->Test->SecondedFunction();<--I think as I can omit the $this-> reference } } My point is: Do I have to do it this way or is there way of having this done through __construct() that would negate the need for a third party function? I have a version working, I just think that it is a little convoluted in the way as I have done it, so I thought I would ask you guys. Any help/advice is appreciated. Cheers Rw |
