PHP - Log Only Human Visitors.

Hello there,

I was curious about PHP's 'time()', now is there any way to parse that into a human readable version e.g 7:53 PM, because I'm unsure on how to work with the time function since it's returned in the unix format, thanks again in advance for your help guys.

Hi,

I want to add another form field to determine if a user is human and not spam bots. I looked into CAPTCHA, but I think those are annoying. I was thinking about just having the user enter (5+5) and if the answer is not ten, then displaying a incorrect value message. If correct submit form and info to the Database. Not sure how to do that with what I currently have coded though so need some help with that part. Here is the current code.


<?PHP
require_once "formvalidator.php";
$show_form=true;
if(isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
   $validator = new FormValidator();
    $validator->addValidation("FirstName","req","Please fill in FirstName");
$validator->addValidation("LastName","req","Please fill in LastName");
$validator->addValidation("UserName","req","Please fill in UserName");
$validator->addValidation("Password","req","Please fill in a Password");
$validator->addValidation("Password2","req","Please re-enter your password");
$validator->addValidation("Password2","eqelmnt=Password","Your passwords do not match!");
    $validator->addValidation("email","email","The input for Email should be a valid email value");
    $validator->addValidation("email","req","Please fill in Email");
$validator->addValidation("Zip","req","Please fill in your Zip Code");
$validator->addValidation("Security","req","Please fill in your Security Question");
$validator->addValidation("Security2","req","Please fill in your Security Answer");

    if($validator->ValidateForm())
    {
        $con = mysql_connect("localhost","beatthis","Jim2Drew!") or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

        mysql_select_db("beatthis_beatthis") or die(mysql_error());

 die('Error: ' . mysql_error());

Hi,
  I have a date and time stored in a database field (publishdate) and I'm using php to fetch it and display it in an HTML table. Only problem is it shows up in epoch time. I can't get it to display in human readable time for some reason. Here's the code I'm using (it's automatically generated by some software)

// View column for publishdate field
            $column = new TextViewColumn('publishdate', 'Publishdate', $this->dataset);
            $column->SetOrderable(true);

Many thanks in advance.

Tony

Hello

We have a series of sites that use Google API to serve locations stored in local DB, that show google maps from within given PHP pages within our sites (these pages also have other db driven content we wish to keep....

Each 'member' in our sites,  they each have a google map shown on each page present for their 'location' menu tab...

These calls to the google map API,  often goes over our daily allotment of freebie map presentations from the google API

It is SE and other Bots that run these view numbers off the charts and prevent the google maps from loading the actual maps - we get a google map err message - advising that maximum views have been reached... (we see this in our server error logs)

Thoughts on how i can serve this map code to only legit http requests (human eyes)  or at least reduce the burden of bot crawl requests to the google API?

here is the code we use to call the maps

 - We need to encapsulate Google Map Display in a snippet that will block it from getting hit by bots....

Huge Thanks!

Code: [Select]
<form target="_blank" method="GET" action="http://maps.google.com/maps">
<input type="hidden" name="daddr" value="<? echo "$address, $city, $state $zip $country" ?>">
<?php display_tooltip("Please enter your starting point in the form address, city, state zip country or simply enter your city", "mapdir");?>
<input type="text" name="saddr" value="your starting point" onfocus=this.select()>
<input class="clickableL" type="submit" value="Map and Directions">
</form>
