Newsletter Scripts
Hi can anyone recommend a secure newsletter script. Client
did his own to
begin with but found his email was being used to send junk
mail. Any help
appreciated.
Although it is utterly pointless scaremongering to suggest that you need to oversee the routine inbuilt maintance that your computer is perfectly capable of taking care of itself, can I suggest you have a look at Cocktail (http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/index.php) as it avoids use of the Terminal altogether.

Help with newsletter PHP Mail script for mySQL / cron job
I'm just trying to set up a PHP script to send emails as a cron job.
It pretty much seems to work, but I can't get it to do two parts.
The first part is to send the emails, and the second is to send a notification email to the site owner confirming that the emails have been sent.
The script looks like:
<?php
include_once "connect_to_mysql.php";
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT UserID, Firstname, Email, Newsletter_Received FROM Users WHERE Firstname='test' LIMIT 20");
$numRows = mysql_num_rows($sql);
$mail_body = '';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$id = $row["UserID"];
$email = $row["Email"];
$name = $row["Firstname"];
$mail_body = 'Test - please ignore';
$subject = "Safari Awards Newsletter";
$headers = "From:[email protected]\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$to = "$email";
$mail_result = mail($to, $subject, $mail_body, $headers);
if ($mail_result) {
mysql_query("UPDATE Users SET Newsletter_Received='1' WHERE Email='$email' LIMIT 20");
} else {
?>
<?php
if ($numRows == 0) {
$subj = "Newsletter Sent";
$body = "The current newsletter has been sent to everyone.";
$hdr = "From:[email protected]\r\n";
$hdr .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
mail("[email protected]", $subj, $body, $hdr);
?>
Basically with the line
include_once "connect_to_mysql.php";
included, it sends the emails as per the SELECT query, but does not send the 'Newsletter Sent' email.
But if I take out that line, it obviously doesn't send the emails as per the SELECT query, but it does send the 'Newsletter Sent' email.
Any suggestions on what might need changing in order for it to do both would be much appreciated!
Thanks.Change this line -
if ($numRows == 0) {
to this -
if ($mail_result) { -

Arch Linux Weekly Newsletter
*Jason Chu and Ben Mazer*
Opening
Welcome to the Arch Linux Newsletter. This attempts to give you an ``at
a glance'' look at the world of Arch Linux.
News
Front Page News
1. srcpac to support source building: Imagine if you could use pacman
to install binary packages as well as build those same packages
from source (with your own optimizations). Not only that, but
upgrades remembered which packages were precompiled and which were
compiled on the spot.
Now, imagine that pacman didn't actually handle it, because the
hard-core KISS people would complain too much and you wouldn't be
able to think while you watch gcc output fly by. Imagine instead a
wrapper around pacman that handled it for you.
Enter srcpac. Lights brighten, music comes to a peak, close up!
srcpac acts exactly the same as pacman (well, it should anyway),
except you get this little extra flag -b (or -build) tacked on to
-S (-sync) to build from source instead of install from a binary
package.
Let's see an example:
srcpac -Sb w3m will compile w3m, install it, and remember that it
was compiled
srcpac -Sybu will upgrade all the packages that need upgrading by
building them and remember that they were compiled (be careful
with this one, it will include packages that weren't previously
compiled).
srcpac -Syu will upgrade all binary packages by installing
binaries and upgrade all source packages by compiling from source.
srcpac -Qi w3m adds an extra line too, "Source", with a simple yes
or no.
You can install srcpac with pacman -S srcpac. From then on you
want to use srcpac instead of pacman.
I've also added the support for package configs. Have a look at
the example /etc/srcpac.conf entry.
The released version also adds the -o option to -S. This will
apply config changes and less the PKGBUILDs without doing any
building.
BEWARE: the -r option isn't fully implemented and may install to /
in some cases, I'm pretty sure I don't ever write to / when -r is
specified, but I can't be sure.

This Week in Dev Land
1. Implementation discussion continues related to the new package
submital system.
2. A remote install document has been added to the wiki. Tobias wrote
it.
3. Lou rolled back the old working kde packages, so kde is fixed. He
is also trying to get access to the new 3.2.3 packages to upgrade
to those.

Looking for a way to create/edit a newsletter online, then be able to generate a customized PDF file
I am looking for a way to be able to customize a newsletter online, then be able to export/generate a PDF file from that newsletter.
Basically this is for a friend that is a real estate agent, and currently she is creating the newsletters in MS Publisher. I'm hoping to find a way to be able to allow her to login to a secure area of her webpage(that part isn't a problem) but then be able to create/customize a monthly newsletter that needs to be customizable.
For example, the August Newsletter will be 2-sided, and most of the newsletter will be the same, but she needs to be able to have a newsletter for different apartment buildings so the customers can just go to their building link/area on the webpage and be able to download that month's custom PDF file that has a portion of the main newsletter that is a table/list of properties for that specific location. The data will be stored in a database.
After writing the above, I can probably create a front-end to the database so she can enter everything that way, but I still need a way for her to generate the customized PDFs after she is done with that month's data.
I was hoping Adobe had something that could be used, or am I stuck using php or Javascript and just doing this with custom scripting?
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
JohnI was hoping Adobe had something that could be used, or am I stuck using php or Javascript and just doing this with custom scripting?
I think you will have to do the latter. While you are thinking about writing the PDF file, don't overlook fpdf (google it).... -
Arch Linux Weekly Newsletter
*Jason Chu and Ben Mazer*
Opening
Welcome to the Arch Linux Newsletter. This attempts to give you an ``at
a glance'' look at the world of Arch Linux.
News
1. New GCC, Perl
We've released gcc 3.4.0 to the current repository. It includes
the old version of libstdc++ for compatibility.
The new version of perl has been rebuilt with thread support. This
changes some perl module paths, so modules may need to be rebuilt.
Use the bugtracker if you notice problems.
http://archlinux.org/news.php#67
2. Pacman 2.7.8 Released
The latest and greatest version of pacman has quite a few little
changes. See the ChangeLog for details.
Notably, an %o parameter has been added to the XferCommand
directive, which lets you use the -O option of wget to write to
filename.part, allowing proper file resumes.
Example: XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget -passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
Or if you want wget to shut up a bit, add -nv: XferCommand =
/usr/bin/wget -passive-ftp -c -nv -O %o %u
http://archlinux.org/news.php#68
This Week in Dev Land
1. We've started looking for names for the 0.7 release. There have
been a couple of suggestions but nothing firm yet.
2. There has been much discussion about incoming and what to do with
it. Also about Arch and how we can better do things.
3. As it stands, x.org and xfree86 will continue to co-exist in our
repos. Only one will be in current at a time though, right now
it's xfree86, it may be x.org later (in that case, we'll move
xfree86 to extra).
4. We're in the process of moving all config files out of /usr/etc.
Be aware that your custom changes will probably be saved. By the
end, there will be no packages that store files in /usr/etc.
5. A little discussion has started surrounding not up-to-date systems
that have problems. It's looking like, if you don't run an
up-to-date system, you are forgoing some of our support.
Especially if they are fundamental packages.
6. Dusty has joined us as a documenter. He will be helping with the
Handbook (more on that later) other official documentation.

Forum Highlights
1. Gaspojo has created an Archlinux wallpaper. It features a
crystal-like Tux and is very nice. Get the wallpaper in this
thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=4255.
2. Well, I've started another mess on the boards. This time I
suggested a way to improve Arch's package management system. In a
nutshell, I felt that Arch developers should only maintain a small
subset of ``popular'' packages rather then ``as much as we can''.
We would use a voting system for deciding which packages should be
maintained. This is similar to Crux's system. Participate in the
ongoing debate here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=4300.
Mailing List
1. Essien Ita Essien announced that he is starting an embedded
ArchLinux project. It's still in early development, but you can
participate here: http://datavibe.net/~essiene/ale/. Read the
thread here:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 01400.html.
TUR Mailing List
The debate over INCOMING has been raging for quite a while now, and it
seems like TUR activity has slowed down in anticipation for the ``big
change''. Nothing has been finalized, because discussion has now been
started on the direction Arch (as a distro) wants to go in.
Packages
Package Highlights
1. GTK 2.4.1 was released this week. This is a bug fix release. Read
the announcement here:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list … 00222.html.
2. pacman 2.7.9 was released, even though it didn't make front page
news. There's one new feature:
- added the ``force'' option to packages, so --sysupgrade can downgrade packages when it needs to.
This feature is important, due to problems with Freetype2.

Arch Linux Weekly Newsletter
*Jason Chu and Ben Mazer*
Opening
Welcome to the Arch Linux Newsletter. This attempts to give you an ``at
a glance'' look at the world of Arch Linux.
News
This Week in Dev Land
1. Dale has received a script to let firebird and thunderbird play
nice. He's looking at adding them now.
2. Arjan is busy right now. Everyone else is trying to pick up his
slack.
3. Functional specifications are nearly complete for the new AUR system.

Discussions
Forum Highlights
1. Benedict_White has been working on porting Webmin to Arch. Check
on his progress in this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=5042.
2. DP has solved the GL.la problem that has plagued many users. He
has provided a simple file to install on your system to replace
the missing library. Read the thread here:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=5124.
Mailing List Highlights
1. The debate was raised again about packaging quality. Jlowell
criticized the developers, stating that there have been too many
broken packages. More of the same points were raised, including
having the developers focus more on developing the base, and less
on the packaging. Read the whole thread here:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 01625.html.
2. I semi-seriously asked about the possibility of bittorrent
integration with pacman. It would save the developers bandwidth
and give the users a way to contribute. There would be many
technical issues with a bittorrent system. Read the thread here:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 01670.html.
3. tsykoduk asked about adding changelogs to the packages or
PKGBUILDs. It was decided that the CVS changelogs were sufficient.
Read the thread here:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 01647.html.
Packages
Package Highlights
1. KDE 3.2.3 was packaged this week. This should fix most of the
problems people have been having with KDE. Read the announcement

Problems
FAQ
Q: I'm trying to compile something (in C++), but I'm getting random errors.
A: Arch is using GCC 3.4.0. GCC 3.4 is much stricter when it comes to
C++ code. It will break on many more errors than GCC 3.3. You should
email the developers of the broken application, or check their
CVS/mailing list to see if they have provided patches.

We're thinking about changing the format of the newsletter. Now that
Arch has an official HTML/CSS standard for documentation, it seems
appropriate to move the newsletter to that standard. We can convert the
newsletter to plain TXT for email, though it may lose some formatting.
How do you read the newsletter? If many people read it over email, we
will continue to provide email ``delivery'' along with HTML, but if most
people read it over the web, we will cut the email delivery. Please give
us your feedback. What is the most convenient format for the newsletter?
That's it for this week, stay tuned for more exciting Arch Linux news.Dusty wrote:

1. As the title says, gnome 2.6 is in the house. There isn't much to
watch out for, Arjan and JGC did a good job catching conflicts in
the testing stage so the install should go flawlessly.
To upgrade: pacman -Syu
To install: pacman -Sy gnome
Some GTK2.x related packages were also upgraded to suit the
requirements of gnome 2.6.

This Week in Dev Land
1. There was a brief discussion about makedepends: which ones should
be considered for inclusion. The consensus was that things that
makepkg does (like uncompressing, especially with unzip) and base
packages do not need to be part of makedepends. Anything that's
needed by the build function, that are not in base, should be a
makedepends.
2. Tobias is back, with a hurt arm (but he can still type!), and
Aurelien is on vacation now.
3. I have split wlan-ng into wlan-ng24 and wlan-ng26. They will both
stay up to date as new kernels come out.

Forum Highlights
1. Cmf has been working on a KDE frontend to pacman. He recently
released version 0.2. Help to test it out in this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=3586.
2. Many threads were started on the GNOME 2.6 update. There are a few
issues that seem to be plaguing Arch users. If you're having a
problem with missing icons or gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-session,
please search the forum for existing discussions.

TUR Mailing List
Nothing exciting has been happening on the TUR front. Packages are being
tested as normal. We are receiving very few bug reports on the packages
in STAGING though. Please help us test these out, and if you have a
problem, send an email to the TUR-mailing-list.

Package Highlights
1. As the news post said, GNOME 2.6 is out. There are a few errors
when updating. It seems that the safest way to update is to remove
GNOME (pacman -R gnome), install gconf (pacman -S gconf), then to
install the rest of gnome (pacman -S gnome).
2. Pacman 2.7.6 is out, wtih a few bugfixes. From the changelog:
1. added -print-uris option
2. fixed an http download bug (bug #667)
3. fixed a segfault related to replaces/conflicts handling

ArchLinux Newsletter for February 22
Greetings, and welcome to the ArchLinux weekly newsletter for the week ending February 22, 2004.
Front Page News:
NEW KERNELS ABOUND
Hi all,
First off, a huge thank-you to everyone that has donated over the last couple of days. We now have enough of a start to pay setup fees and the first couple months on a new server. You guys rock.
Now, an update regarding the new kernels... We're planning on using 2.6.3 as the default kernel for Widget's release, so I've renamed the 2.4 kernel packages for more consistency. We now have four kernel packages:
* kernel24
* kernel24-scsi
* kernel26
* kernel26-scsi
As you know, the kernel26 packages write their bzImages as /boot/vmlinuz26 so that they can coexist with a 2.4 kernel. I've left the kernel 2.4 bzImage as /boot/vmlinuz for now, to avoid breaking too many users' boxes. But keep in mind that I may rename them to /boot/vmlinuz24 sometime in the future. Watch out!
Another effect of the package renames is that the setup script had to be updated. This means that you will have to re-download the root.img disk image to do an ftp-based install. The old one will look for the 'kernel' package, which no longer exists.
http://archlinux.org/news.php#48
FUN WITH BANDWIDTH COSTS
As most of you know, the recent review on OSNews has brought a large influx of users to us. While we're overjoyed to have so many new users, the bandwidth costs associated with all these new --sysupgrade'ers is going to cost me a lot of money that I don't really have.
To curb the trend, I've had to cap transfer speeds on ftp.archlinux.org. They now sit at 20 K/s with a max of 30 users at a time.
So, long story short, I have a couple of favors to ask:
1. If you can volunteer to be a mirror, please contact me.
2. Please download this perl script, which will use the "netselect" program to re-sort the server lists in pacman.conf, lowest ping times first. You can run it like so:
# ./sortmirrors.pl </etc/pacman.conf >pacman.conf.new
Make sure pacman.conf.new looks okay, then move it into place:
# mv pacman.conf.new /etc/pacman.conf
3. If you can spare a few bucks for a bandwidth-hungry distribution, please donate. We're looking to get another server, but the donations just aren't there yet.
Thanks a lot everyone. We'll keep on making it if you keep on running it.
Editor's Note: The perl script now comes with the new version of pacman, and the download cap has been lifted.

This Week on the Forum:
Rasat made a request that we try to clean up the forums to make it easier to read. One idea was to put [RMx] for remove, [MVx] for move or [FXx] for fixed / resolved, in our topic titles. Read about it here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=2773
Neocephas wrote a CUPS HOW-TO for Arch. It's still being worked on, so go help out over here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=2757
This Week on the Mailing List:
After the announcement by Judd about the bandwidth troubles, people raised some ideas for saving bandwidth. One was randomizing mirrors automatically via pacman. Another was to take the Full 0.5 ISO off of the main ftp site, because it's out of date anyway. Neither of these have been implemented yet, but discussion is still ongoing. Read the threads at:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 00844.html
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 00853.html
The idea was brought up again about multiple flavors of kernels. DanG also asked if multiple 2.4 or 2.6 kernel packages could "live together". The answer was no. A 2.4 and 2.6 kernel can co-exist though. Judd stated that there were no plans for different flavors of kernels (like "failsafe") and instead people should be building their own. Read the thread at: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 00872.html
What's happening with the TUR mailing list:
We're currently looking to assimilate a couple more Trusted Users to run their own repository and help test packages from /incoming. The system now requires sponsorship. So if you have submitted a lot of packages to /incoming that have made their way into the repositories, the TUs will be willing to sponsor you. If you are interested, join and mail the TUR Mailing list: https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/tur-users
This Week in Dev Land (by Jason Chu):
Manolis Tzanidakis (zen_guerilla) left the development team. He has decided to work on his own personal distro and won't have time for both. We wish him well.
Tobias Kieslich (neri) and Damir Perisa (dp) have joined the dev team. They've started adopting packages and are still learning how everything works. They are a welcome addition to the dev team.
We now have a new package server. All the regular traffic goes to the original server but ftp.archlinux.org is now on a different one. This one has a higher limit on bandwidth but if you use a mirror please continue doing so.
We are debating if/how to add f77 and gcj compilers to gcc. The best suggestion is to have seperate packages that depend on gcc but gcc is a scary package so it's still being researched.
The gcc question brought up another: should we implement multiple packages per PKGBUILD file? It was agreed that a single package per PKGBUILD is much simpler and more like the arch way. At the same time, we still have some issues to work through because of this simple method.
There are new disk images on ftp.archlinux.org. They're more modular and have support for keymaps, xfs/jfs support, and raid/lvm. The setup scripts don't support all of these new features but the advanced user will be able to use them. There will also be an expert install script to support these features.
Xfree86 licensing is still being researched. An interesting link was found: http://www.xfree86.org/legal/licenses.html
An 0.6-base-BETA1 was released. It's available on the archlinux ftp server. Feel free to test it.
An Archlinux goal/philosophy/social contract document was mentioned. Judd said he was thinking about this already and we will probably start one soon.
A number of packages were found to be missing urls and md5sums. Namcap will detect this and spit out an error. If anyone finds PKGBUILDs with these missing, they can submit a bug report for that package.
Package Highlights:
Updated init scripts were released this week. They provide a more cleaned up boot process.
reiserfsprogs 3.6.13 was released this week. This fixes a bug that can prevent a ReiserFS partition from booting. Read about it here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=2614
GCC, Coreutils, the kernel and some other core packages were updated this week. These types of upgrades can be risky sometimes, so be sure to submit any problems you have to the Bug Tracker.
Pacman 2.7.4 was released this week. Changes are:
- fixed a bug in conflict handling, where installing a conflicting package would fail even if the new package "provided" it
- if pacman sees a newer version of itself during an upgrade, it will ask to install itself first, then be re-run to upgrade the other packages.
- You can now use the --info option with --sync to display an uninstalled package's dependency info.
- Added a sane umask before db writes
- buffer overflow fix (bug #442)
FAQ of The Week:
Well, it's the same as last week and the week before. Unfortunately, we're still receiving the same questions. If you are having an issue, please review the past Arch Newsletters because your questions are probably answered.

Looking for a Mail utility/script to remove older newsletters
I subscribe to several newsletters from various companies (airlines, hotels, etc) and I'm looking for a utility/script that looks at incoming mail and zaps/displays older mailings since the new message supersedes the older ones. For instance, weekly discount offers come in and I want the previous ones from the same company to be automatically deleted. A confirmation window displaying the candidate messages to be deleted would be a nice feature.
Does anybody know of such a utility?
TIAwell, to catch an email you have to add the email address from the sender or distinctive text, so for simplification purposes you may have to create a rule for each newletter, rather than one rule with lots of text in that field. plus if you create one rule for each, then it is easier to troubleshoot if one newsletter does not get deleted in the way you have specified it.
glad i could help -
AJAX/JSON functionality for Newsletter Subscription Form
Okay so we have Newsletter subscription form where we would like to implement this functionality using steps shown here - http://demo.businesscatalyst.com/json-form.
We used following code and it didn't work:
<script type="text/javascript">
function jqsub() {
var $f = $('#newsletter_signup');
var $m = $('#newsletter_form_result');
$f.find('.btn').prepend('<i class="icon-spinner icon-spin"></i>').addClass('disabled').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: $f.attr('action') + '&JSON=1',
data: $f.serialize(),
success: function(msg) {
var formResponse = eval(msg);
if (formResponse.FormProcessV2Response.success) {
$f.fadeOut(function(){ //Hide the form
$m.addClass('success').fadeIn().html("<p>Thank you for signing up to receive updates and offers.</p>");
error: function(msg) {
alert('error'+msg);
return false;
</script>
Then we noticed that user gets automated message and also we can see admin area that he has subscribed to newsletter, that means although there is no movement on the page, form gets submitted. That means the "if" argument is not working. That leads us to the question what would form newsletter subscription return upon submission - would it retuern "FormProcessV2Response"? Then we took off "var formResponse = eval(msg); if (formResponse.FormProcessV2Response.success)" and modified code as below.
<script type="text/javascript">
function jqsub() {
var $f = $('#newsletter_signup');
var $m = $('#newsletter_form_result');
$f.find('.btn').prepend('<i class="icon-spinner icon-spin"></i>').addClass('disabled').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: $f.attr('action') + '&JSON=1',
data: $f.serialize(),
success: function(msg) {
$f.fadeOut(function(){ //Hide the form
$m.addClass('success').fadeIn().html("<p>Thank you for signing up to receive updates and offers.</p>");
error: function(msg) {
alert('error'+msg);
return false;
</script>
This code worked in terms of triggering fadding in and out animations, but now our concern is if this is a right way of tackling this issue. Would it be processed correctly when any error occured? Should we have any if argument similar to what we had in previous code?
If someone can guide us on this one, then it would be really great.
ThanksDear vora,
Its very simple, matter of adding simpel jQuery related code. I mean something like Ajax submitting form without page refresh and getting JSON response back.
For instance have a look over this example..
http://www.java4s.com/jquery-tutorials/submit-form-without-refreshing-page-in-javajsp-with -jquery/
Even the newsletter they are using is based on jQuery/JSON, in fact they applied through PHP, however you can use in any technology.

Scripting Survey Open until August 30, 2007
I recently picked up some new responsibilities related to scripting the Adobe Creative Suite. As part of my initial research, I realized that Adobe doesn't have a good overall picture of the scripting community. To fill that gap, I've opened a survey that I'm hoping you'll have time to participate.
The survey is at this link - http://niemannross.com/sdksurvey/index.php?sid=8 .
I've designed the survey so that it only asks questions that make sense, and will be as brief as possible. All questions are optional - answer what you want - the more you answer, the more we learn.
I'm also asking if you want to be part of a newsletter. If you don't answer "Yes," then we assume your answer is no! Trying to keep the world free of Spam!
Questions, comments? feel free to send them to [email protected]RobL,
I have found one of National Instruments Knowledge Base articles detailing this error in reference to ActiveX.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/1C025F018CB5761686256C56007DD258?OpenDocument
I believe this may be of some help.

Php - sending newsletter avoiding spam - how to?
Hello,
I'm looking for a way of limit the number of emails sent by my script at once, so my newsletter arrives to custummers in spite of goint to spam folders.
I know I must send per example 50 emails at once, and then wait some time before sending the next 50, but how to do that in php?
I query my mysql database limiting 0,50 so I get my 50emails, but I don't see a way of repeating this task after lets say 2 minutes...
also, do you think this would be proper headers for my script?
thanks!
Pluda
