PHP - Constannt "unknown Modifier" Error Even Though I Fixed It Multiple Times?

Hi,

bit stuck on how to find and replace "<" and ">" with "&lt;" and  "&gt;". I basically have a database record that outputs to screen and I need the code in the <code> tags to be rendered to the screen. I therefore need it to go through the whole array variable from the db and change the symbols just inside the code tags. Please be aware that the code tags might happen more than once

here's an example below

Code: [Select]
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<code>
<h1>hello</h1>
</code>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<code>
<h1>hello</h1>
</code>

the desired output would be:

<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<code>
&lt;h1&gt;hello&lt;/h1
</code>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<code>
&lt;h1&gt;hello&lt;/h1
</code>

help on this would be great

Cheers

Hi guys

I am a newbie with PHP and I have been trying to solve this problem for 3 days..

Ive set up a booking form on my website to be sent directly to my email once the client clicked on the send button..
The problem I am having while checking these pages on wamp is that the booking form is ok but when I click on the send button the following message error appears
"Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\wamp\www\fluffy_paws\booking_form2.php on line 27"

When I check online I have this message "500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed."

Are my codes wrong???

My webhosting is Blacknight.com , Im on Windows Vista, my internet is a dongle with O2 ireland

Thanks for your help!

Hi there,
I am NOT a PHP coder, but I have a site that is written in PHP and I am getting an error that keeps filling up my site cache and I just cannot figure it out - I know it has something to do with my images on the site, but none of them are out of the ordinary (GIFs and JPEGs, the only character apart from letters or numbers that i have used is the "_" and there are no spaces). I have looked around at the error I am getting - but I will be honest in that I dont really understand what the problem is or how to resolve it. Here is the error I get:

PHP Warning:  preg_match() [<a href='function.preg-match'>function.preg-match</a>]: Unknown modifier 'C' in /home/smcclean/public_html/includes/modules/additional_images.php on line 48

This relates to the following line of code: if(preg_match("/" . $products_image_base . "/i", $file) == 1) {

I would really appreciate a steer as to how I could resolve this.

Many thanks

Hi guys

I'm struggling a bit, I need to replace a word that occurs multiple times in text with an array("up","down","forward","backwards") of words.


$find = "left";
$replace = array("up","down","forward","backwards");
$text = "left left left left";

echo str_replace($find,$replace,$text);


The Output is: array array array array

Did try this with a foreach statement as well, but no luck. Is there a better way of doing this? 

Thanks

Hi there,

I have a site that has several different pages which display products from each category on the designated page.

What I am looking to do is create one page that also lists ALL the products.

Right now, in the category specific page it has this is in the code:
Code: [Select]
$data = get_portfolio_industry('Building Products');
$offset = $_GET['offset'];
if($offset == ''){
$offset = 0;
}
function get_industries($rec_id){
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `".TBL_PORTFOLIO_INDUSTRY."` WHERE `portfolio_id` = '$rec_id'";
$data = SelectMultiRecords($sql);
return $data;
}

And this is the from the functions file:
function get_portfolio_industry($industry){
Code: [Select]
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `".TBL_PORTFOLIO."` WHERE id IN (SELECT `portfolio_id` FROM `".TBL_PORTFOLIO_INDUSTRY."` WHERE `industry` = '$industry') ORDER BY `id`";
$data=SelectMultiRecords($sql);
return $data;
}
My hope was I would simple combine the products like this: Code: [Select]
$data = get_portfolio_industry('Building Products,Building Services,General Products');
...but unfortunately it doesn't combine them. Any thoughts? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, I currently have an if, elseif, else program that starts off with

Code: [Select]
if( $v_name == "" || $v_msg == "" )
echo "something"
how do I turn this into a switch?

but the very next elseif I have

Code: [Select]
elseif( strcspn( $_REQUEST['msg'], '0123456789' ) == strlen( $_REQUEST['msg'] ) )
echo "something"

is it possible to turn this into a switch with 2 different strings like that to evaluate?

Hello all, I'm an amateur at PHP coding, and am currently enrolled in a PHP and MySQL class that uses the PHP Programming with MySQL textbook, by Don Gosselin. I'm trying to get this simple Shopping Cart script to work, because it's the step-by-step example script for Chapter 11, but I keep getting the following errors on ShowCart.php when I try to add an item to the cart. Quote

Warning: mysqli_query() [function.mysqli-query]: Couldn't fetch mysqli in C:\xampplite\htdocs\ShoppingCart.php  on line 78

Warning: mysqli_errno() [function.mysqli-errno]: Couldn't fetch mysqli in C:\xampplite\htdocs\ShoppingCart.php on line 80

Warning: mysqli_error() [function.mysqli-error]: Couldn't fetch mysqli in C:\xampplite\htdocs\ShoppingCart.php on line 81


Line 78:        $QueryResult = mysqli_query($this->DBConnect, $SQLstring)

Line 80 and 81:             . "<p>Error code " . mysqli_errno($this->DBConnect)
            . ": " . mysqli_error($this->DBConnect)) . "</p>";

I've read "Couldn't fetch mysqli" errors are because the connection was closed prior to those lines, but I don't see any indication of a connection closure. I have no idea what to do, as all the code was given to me in the book, I merely copied it down.

Here's the ShoppingCart.php code:<?php

So I wanted to create stickers on my forum where people type in say ":Blobby-Tired" and then instead of the comment showing ":Blobby-Tired" it shows an html image tag displaying a picture of Blobby in the comment box

So I created the following page CommentUpload.php

However my sql fails to insert it despite the fact when I "echo $new" it shows the image on the page correctly

And it can't be my sql insert code as if I change $new variable for "$BodyText" int he SQL query it it inserts   ":Blobby-Tired" OK?

 

<?php
include 'dbconnect.php';
session_start();

if(isset($_POST["submit"]) && !empty($_POST["CommentText"])){
$id = intval($_SESSION['id']);
echo  $_SESSION['id'] . '<p> </p>'   ; 
$BodyText = $conn -> real_escape_string($_POST['CommentText']) ; 
$User = $_SESSION['username'];

//Replace flairs with <img> tags 
/*not working currently) */
$new = str_replace(":Blobby-Tired","<img src='flairs/Blobby-Tired.jpg'> </img>","'$BodyText'");
echo "$new";
/************************/ 

	 $sql = "INSERT INTO Posts (User, CommentText, IdOfThread)
     VALUES ('$User','$new','$id')";
     if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
        echo "New record has been added successfully !";
     } else {
        echo "Error: " . $sql . ":-" . mysqli_error($conn);
     }


     mysqli_close($conn);

}
