How to enable or disable a bunch of reactive form controls? I want to conditionally disabled or not (enabled) a bunch of reactive form controls. However, I have noticed that neither `enable` or `disable` function has a boolean parameter to nicely conditionally disable a control (this is the solution I have seen in other frameworks to allow this, despite being...

How to tackle database migrations failure during application initialization on production systems? Context My ASP.NET Core application got stuck in Production with a 5xx error. By inspecting the logs, I have noticed that a database error occurred during application initialization, namely a SQL Server access error. This happened because the application restarted and at that very moment, it t... (more) |

A: Are JavaScriptless forms accessible? As indicated by your source using (or not) JS is mostly independent of accessibility since the latter is obtained mainly through HTML and CSS. As a side note, while not using JavaScript is an option, you must also consider the performance and UX implications of this: - client-side validations p... (more) |

A: PHP emails are sent when $message is a string, but not when its an array As explained by manassehkatz, the message (aka the body) is a text in PHP (and many other programming languages). If your e-mails have a certain structure, you should create a function that takes that structure (i.e. your array) and generate a string from it. This is a good idea also from an arch... (more) |

I am a fan of keeping things simple. If there is no strong reason to rely on something else, why not have everything provided by the same provider: the client accesses the form hosted on example.com (your provider), fills the form and your script running on example.com sends an e-mail to your contact...

I would go with "buying an email box from my domain registrar" because it seems to be the easiest + safest solution. As long as the contact form is not abused, I do not think you will ever run into trouble with the spam filters. You did not mention, but is the destination an e-mail address on your do... (more) |

It is not clear what the exact problem is here. [This](https://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/configuration.html) shows that it is possible to read the configuration from a file. Indeed this is a structured file (XML), not an "arbitrary data structure". Do you mean something like an YAML c... (more) |

Do you receive a response from the server? Typically servers provide a response, except for the case when the connection cannot be made (timeout, explicit connection reset from the server). I think there is no exception, but an HTTP code that should be available if you read the response from the line... (more) |

@JohnDoea Ok, so they are handling authentication behind the scene. `mail` seems to return only true or false (success), so I think the only option is to check (or ask your provider to) the e-mail logs which should contain the cause of the error. (more) |

There are many years since I have sent an e-mail using PHP, but I remember that e-mails required some kind of authentication to be treated correctly by the e-mail providers (they need to be sure that they come from the domain they seem to use). Failing to provide this, most of them reached the Spam ... (more) |

I think you will get better search results using "contact form service" instead. Results indicate headlines like "custom forms with no server code", "simple contact form service" and others. All the solutions seem to allow the client to construct the form and use it as a third-party service. (more) |

What should healthcheck of an Web API application actually check? I have to add health checks to a rather new application (Web API, not a microservice) and I and a colleague are not agreeing about what other systems I should include in the check. This application is the beginning of the writing of a legacy one (will work side by side for a long transition period). ... (more) |

A: How to reason about transaction isolation during development One way to go is probably to use some kind of transaction scope to include everything (SELECT from order and INSERT into shipment) with a high enough transaction isolation (e.g. SERIALIZABLE for SQL Server). However, this might prove very expensive if you need a high transaction throughput. In pr... (more) |

| Comment | Post #280970 |
@meriton Yes, it does not seem to cover your case. Since we can safely assume that the time between the order SELECT and shipment INSERT is very short, is it acceptable to fix such issues (which will be very rare) using an async job or similar? (more) |

What you are describing seems to be a concurrency management control issue. I am not sure what ORM you are using, but it might have support for concurrency.

I have closed this question because the issue is a simple typographical error (format is an argument for the print, not a function to be applied to the print result). Also, check [this help page](https://software.codidact.com/help/on-topic). (more) |

@FractionalRadix I agree to keep this type of question at the current stage. However, one non-technical reason (e.g. too broad) IMO is that for a developer it is far more useful to try and error and ask focused questions than having a general question with some answer(s). It involves much more effort... (more) |
