Congratulations,

SugarCRM v4.5.1 could be successfuly installed on Godaddy's shared hosting.
There are many posts at both Sugar's and Godaddy's forums indictating the existing incompatibility between them. But now it is possible with following assumptions:
1) switch to PHP5 using .htaccess
2) make MySQL 5 database
3) Upload and install SugarCRM

PS: IMAP functions are still unavailble at godaddy so some SugarCRM functionality will not work.
PPS: Don't hesitate to ask if you need help to install Sugar or any other software.

Anyone who dealed with forms and php applications knows about emails. There a lot of questions about mail() function at http://www.php.net/mail
I got a class from sourceforge which makes my life mush easier.
You could make a piece of code which sends HTML email with attachment in a few minutes using it.
My script shows a form, where an user could enter his name and upload a file which will be sent to admin.

Portable Web Server

good portable web server - WOS portable

What is portable web server?
It is just full server environment fitted on flash-stick or CD(DVD)ROM.
WOS includes Apache web server, MySQL, PHP4&5 and a couple of PHP apps - such as OsCommerce, PHPMyAdmin and others.

It allows you to run your favorite site offline, on a client's desktop for example.

PHPAuction runs on PHP 5

I had to use PhpAuction v2.0 in order to create a website for my client. But this script is written in old fashiniod way and it requires register_globals to be set on. I prepared a little patches for it. Files that should be fixed:
includes/config.inc.php (Place the code below to the begining of the file)
$p = array_merge($_GET,$_POST,$_SERVER); foreach($p as $k=>$v){ $GLOBALS[$k] = $v; }
if (!isset($HTTP_POST_VARS)) $HTTP_POST_VARS = $_POST;
if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS)) $HTTP_SESSION_VARS = $_SESSION;

admin/loggedin.inc.php (Place the code below immediately after session_start();)
if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS)) $HTTP_SESSION_VARS = $_SESSION;

In this way PhpAuction v2.0 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpnggpl/ could be used on both PHP 4&5 with register_globals switched off

PHP 4 will be not supported after 31-12-2007

Nobody cry about it. Bye PHP4 - news from php.net

PHP form handler

This script :
1) creates HTML form to enter the data
2) has php handler which gets data and stores it to db
3) exectes setup.php script to create corresponding data table.

PHP easter egg problem

PHP easter egg is funny dog picture but it could be used by attacker to detect PHP version
using following url:
http://www.yoursite.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42
Each version has its own picture.
If you would like to hide PHP version or even the fact that your site are using PHP you could use following solutions :

1. .htaccess mod_rewrite:
   Change mod_rewrite
   setting so that web
   server removes 'easter egg' parameter string


2. modifying php.ini
   set the "expose_php"
   directive to "off" in
   server's php.ini
   

Contact me if you interested to make your site a
little safer.
