My Traffic Life

I am Mae German. 34 years old. Born in Mangatarem, province of Pangasinan. I was taught and trained by Juan Dela Cruz, and I am currently being trained for more by Uncle Sam. Writing since the age of 12. Blogging since 2001. I keep a notebook and a pen in my bag, on my bedside table, and inside the bathroom. Misses a lot. Sometimes even my own voice. Loves to laugh. Sometimes even at myself. I am a work in progress. My ultimate dream is to be a SAHM. That is, if I am bound to have that chance in this lifetime... and I am.

My Traffic Rules

Don't take my words personally. At times, not even literally. This is my journal. You're my reader. My spectator. Applaud. Yawp. Yawn. Smile. Frown. Rave. Rant. Or not. Neither can I see you from where I am standing nor can I hear you.

This is not my life. Maybe just a part of it. But this is me meandering through life. My emotions fluctuate. My opinion varies. If it's too hot in here and you can't take it, leave. If it's dull and too cold, go somewhere else for warmth. I won't wipe the frown on your brow.

My stories, unless stated otherwise, are mostly fictional. Fiction could be based on reality. Still, they are fiction. Don't own it. Don't live in it. It is what it is. Leave it.

Watch out for the traffic light. Follow the rules. Cruise.

Scenario #1: Web Server's PHP version doesn't support $_REQUEST
Solution: Use $_GET (NOTE: careful in using this method on sensitive transaction)

Scenario #2: Web Server's execution time is set to 30sec (max), hence the error, Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds on "http://....sendmail.php"
Solution: set_time_limit(60)

Saving and sharing my HTML/form code and sendmail.php here for my reference (took me a while to solve it, getting rusty na!).

****************************************** HTML ******************************************

<form method="get" action="sendmail.php">

<input type="text" name="name" value="Name:" />
<input type="text" name="mail" value="E-mail:" />
<textarea name="message" cols="30" rows="60">Message:</textarea>
<input type="submit" />

</form>

****************************************** sendmail.php ******************************************

<?php

set_time_limit(60);

$name = $_GET['name'];
$email = $_GET['mail'];
$message = $_GET['message'];

if (empty($email) || empty($message))
    {
    ?>
        <html>
        <head><title>Error</title></head>
        <body>
        <h1>Error</h1>
        <p>
        Oops, it appears you forgot to enter either your
        email address or your message. Please press the BACK
        button in your browser and try again.
        </p>
        </body>
        </html>
    <?php
     }
else
{
    mail( " This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ", "Feedback from your website", $message, "From: $name <$email>" );
    // redirect back to url visitor came from or
    // header( "Location: http://www.yoursite.com/thankyou.html" );
    header("Location: $HTTP_REFERER");
}

?>
