Ideal configuration for shared email accounts on your mobile and main PC

To have all my emails downloaded and stored locally i need to use pop3. I also want to have the benefits of IMAP and PUSH email so i instantly get my messages on my phone. The following settings are the best.

setup email in outlook with pop3, with the setting leave on server for 14 days
setup all the required emails on the phone via IMAP using K-9 Mail (or GMAIL for the inbuilt Google account)
when setting up the IMAP accounts on the Android phone with K-9 use the PUSH email option
setup all shared pop3 accounts up as IMAP in outlook aswell. This is so sent items can be copied into outlooks sent folder if required

These settings give the best of both worlds and cover me if Googles servers go down, and i can use my own email accounts with PUSH email.

$phptemp = "/var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/php.ini";
putenv("PHPRC=$phptemp");

/* the one below works */
apache_setenv("PHPRC", $phptemp);
$yo = getenv('PHPRC');

Magic quotes are the bain opf any programmers life. If you commit something to a my sql database that has unescaped characters, php by default will escape them with a backslash '/' and this can mess all your code up.

The following shows you how you can detect if magic quotes are running and how to disable them.

Detect if magic quotes are running

Run this php code on your web server

<?php
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc())
	echo "Magic quotes are enabled";
else
	echo "Magic quotes are disabled";
?>

Disable magic quotes

If you alter the following code in your php.ini will disable magic quotes. You might als be able to use a php variable declaration but this will be less permanent.

; Magic quotes

; Magic quotes for incoming GET/POST/Cookie data.
magic_quotes_gpc = Off

; Magic quotes for runtime-generated data, e.g. data from SQL, from exec(), etc.
magic_quotes_runtime = Off

; Use Sybase-style magic quotes (escape ' with '' instead of \').
magic_quotes_sybase = Off
