[phpslash-users] Excellent Stuff!!

[Bart P. <ba...@up...>]

Hi
After using the 0.6 code for a while now I can only agree with Mike,=20=

Excellent Stuff!! Thank you.

I have some feedback/questions:

RSS:
I can get the Netscape validator to accept the backend.php3 file only if=
 I=20
"utf8_encode" the TITLE and INTRO_TEXT fields. Maybe because of the Germ=
an=20
characters? The problem is that the RSS parsers I have tested does not=20=

"utf8_decode" the <item> contents.
What is the "right" way to encode RSS 0.91?

RSS block:
RSS blocks (and only RSS blocks) cause a PHP error after the Block is=20=

displayed. The display of the page is broken off somewhere below the RSS=
=20
block. I have mentioned this before but I thought it was a PHP3 problem.=
=20
I have this problem with the following configuration:
php4.0.4pl1 CGI
apache 1.3.14 (unix)
XML-support - active
Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?

Mailing list:
Is my logic correct here?
To send out a newsletter according to the subscribers' frequency=20
preferences the options should be:
override date =96 yes
override frequency - no
With this combination an email is sent to my first subscriber only.
With override "frequency - yes", it is sent to ALL subscribers=20
successfully.
Have I messed up the code or is it a bug, or something else?

Since the templates return HTML I end up HTML-special-characters in my=20=

emails. I have to "decode" the HTML after the templates are parsed.
This solves the problem for me:

function html_decode($str){
  $trans =3D get_html_translation_table (HTML_ENTITIES);
  $trans =3D array_flip ($trans);
  $str =3D strtr ($str, $trans);
  return $str;
}=20

Greeting

Bart
