My main task was JUST COPY photos from my iPhone4 to XP. Peace of cake, right?  Well…. the problem was that I frequently use 3G internet, and am limited to 1GB per month. ( I know, I know… but this is mobile Internet… ) So I DOD NOT wanted to use iTunes, because:

• I don’t want to download 100MB just to copy images…
• My 3G connection is limited.
• I wanted as simple solution as possible.

In my situation,  I was using news-mailer plugin for wordpress, as I needed to send some mails to all registered users. While testing this plugin with my email, everything went ok, but as soon as I tried sending email to all users, I’ve got this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Swift_RfcComplianceException’ with message ‘Address in mailbox given [some@email] does not comply with RFC 2822

Yes, some of the emails list were not compatible with RFC2822. So what? I needed to send emails anyway. There are several ways of solution of this problem.  File causing problems was:

wp-content/plugins/news-mailer/swift/lib/classes/Swift/Mime/Headers/MailboxHeader.php

As you can see, this plugin uses Swift mailer.

First of if, I could manually verify every email passed to emailer.  Emails passed as an array list. But… I needed solution right now. So I made it simple way:

in fhe file mentioned above (MailboxHeader.php)  I modified function

private function _assertValidAddress($address)
  {

	return; /* Fix; skipping email format RFC2822 check */
	if (!preg_match('/^' . $this->getGrammar('addr-spec') . '$/D', $address))
    {
      throw new Swift_RfcComplianceException(
        'Address in mailbox given [' . $address .
        '] does not comply with RFC 2822, 3.6.2.'
        );
    }
  }

As you see, I just added one line. I could comment entire code, or just remove it. But I wanted to leave original code, if I will use another fix. Well, I don’t plan to do that

As I mentioned, I would prefer another fixes: validate each email in array, or instead of throw new Swift_RfcComplianceException, I would like to suspend that user, or remove him, or send warning message.  Anyway. I needed couple minutes fix, so made it easy way.

I hope this will help for some webmasters, who needed a quick solution.

I tried to run the file directly, and almost all posts were ok, but script stucked on one post(email message).  I reloaded the script(wp-mail.php). The results was the same. Script read all the messages AGAIN, and stuck on the same post again, with the error:  Oops POP3 delete: Command failed . Reloaded again. The same result again. This way I inserted triple posts And mailbox was not cleaned, the inserted messages were not deleted.

I’ve made a simple solution. WP-mail.php closes POP3 session and quits:

if(!$pop3->delete($i)) {
echo ‘<p>’ . sprintf(__(‘Oops: %s’), esc_html($pop3->ERROR)) . ‘</p>’;
$pop3->reset();
exit;
}

POP3 reset command resets any messages which have been marked as read or deleted to the standard unread state. So they will be posted again on the next POP3 session. I decided to make it easy way. Instead of reset messages, I forced quit command:

if(!$pop3->delete($i)) {
echo ‘<p>’ . sprintf(__(‘Oops: %s’), esc_html($pop3->ERROR)) . ‘</p>’;
$pop3->quit(); /* forced quit without reset */
exit;
}

As far as all read messages on session quit are deleted, I got rid off that stuck errors. And that error post is NOT inserted into my blog.

I hope this may help save some time to other bloggers. If this file is overwritten when updating wordpress, you need to modify wp-mail.php again.

This solution may be valid only if you have many messages, and only sometimes this error occurs. If you get this error on ALL messages, I suppose this solution it NOT for your case, as there are some other errors, like possible message formatting, character encoding errors.

Function name:  createPost

Function description
Inserts a new post into the database with the appropriate options.

Function syntax
bool createPost (array &$msgOptions, array &$topicOptions, array &$posterOptions);

I will not repeat their description, here is a direct link.

However, I’ve met unexpected problem, and decided to post the solution here. I hope I will save some time for somebody this way. The problem I’ve met was fatal error:

Fatal error: Function name must be a string in …/forum/Sources/Subs-Post.php on line 1811.

The problem detected was, that variable $smcFunc vas empty in Subs-Post.php. As far as I called the function createPost() directly from my forum poster, I’ve traced this variable, and solution is as follows:

• require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/Settings.php’);     this step is NOT a solution,  it just loads some variables,  mainly database.

• require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/SSI.php’);   this IS a solution.  $smcFunc is defined here.
• removed  define(‘SMF’, true);    this definition is described in SSI.php, so I do not need to duplicate it.  This definition is REQUIRED for separately included files to load.

• require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/Sources/Subs-Post.php’); this is the next lines of my poster, I need this file, because I need the function createPost();

That’s why I’ve created this site. The main purpose for myself if advanced mysql plays. After right indexing, mysql speed improved around 9,5 times! The tests were made with 500,000 records.

Well, the site is still in beta. I just wanted to show a design I can currently create I think it is not a bad beginning for a programmer

I had some thoughts about selling this site but never actively marketed it. If site is profitable, I am not interested too much of selling it. But the price is the king in this case I’ve put this site as one of my portfolio items. Feel free to browse this site. Technologies used: JQuery, Javascript, XHTML,CSS,PHP,MySQL,XML. Well, 100% automated website with admin backend. The future? I am not sure. I still plan to keep this site. And think about what users could be interested with.
