PHP - Probably A Silly Question
using godaddy hosting and sending php email
it sends fine but the "from" is like server.blab.la2345423 long crazy stuff how can I change who the email is from? thanks Similar TutorialsAt this point I clearly have too much time on my hands, as I started to tinker with different DATE options.
$originalDate = 2003-03-03; //March 3rd, 2003 is the day number 62 in that year
$day_of_the_YEAR = date("z", strtotime($originalDate)); //provides the day of the year starting with ZERO on 01/01
echo "($day_of_the_YEAR + 1)"; //allows me to ADD the ONE to compensate for the ZERO that begins the counter
This is all OK, but then I tried to incorporate the English ordinal suffix by using the date format mechanism S. Not only did it not work, but when I edited my code to:
$day_of_the_YEAR = date("zS", strtotime($originalDate));
echo "($day_of_the_YEAR)"; //because it won't work at all with the PLUS 1
the result for echo $day_of_the_YEAR was 61rd [which is neither accurate for March 3 nor acceptable as the correct English ordinal suffix. Is there a remedy, or is this due to trying to combine a non-date with the S switch? What is the error in this code? It's such a simple bit of code, but doesnt work... So make me look stupid by pointing out my coding error!!! Good luck!! $dbName = $_GET['dbIdent']; $dirArr = scandir(("uploadedPGN/gameDatabases/"), 0); foreach ($dirArr as $key => $value) { if (is_null($value) || $value=="." || $value==".." || $value=="...") { unset($dirArr[$key]); } } ///// works all the way to here \\\\\ echo '<form method="POST"><select name="process"><OPTION>Select Database: </OPTION>'; foreach($dirArr as $val2) { echo '<OPTION value="processPGN_NONANCL_DB.php?dbIdent='.$val2.'">'.$val2.'</OPTION>'; } echo '</select><input type="submit"></form>'; ////// so why is the little bit of code above causing me such a nightmare? grrr \\\\\ Howdy all, I finally came correct and started working on more web programming including taking a class locally but I've run into a silly problem with a snippet of code from my textbook. Can you guys tell me why the "else {" line is generating a parse error? It feels like the first day of kindergarten again... if (empty($_POST['first_name']) || empty($_POST['last_name'])); echo "<p>You must enter your first and last name. Click your browser's Back button to return to the Guest Book.</p>\n"; else { /* <<<error here */ $FirstName = addslashes($_POST['first_name']); $LastName = addslashes($_POST['last_name']); $GuestBook = fopen("guestbook.txt", "ab"); if (is_writeable("guestbook.txt")) { if (fwrite($GuestBook, $LastName . ", " . $FirstName . "\n")) echo "<p>Thank you for signing our guest book!</p>\n"; else echo "<p>Cannot add your name to the guest book.</p>\n"; } else echo "<p>Cannot write to the file.</p>\n"; fclose($GuestBook); } Thanks and I'm sure I'll be back. when in a form, I wish to build a conditional that if the response to a radio button is a value of 2 (female), it will display an input requesting for users maiden name. If not 2 goes to the next input statement. Here is code I was experimenting with: <html> <body> <form action="" name="test" method='POST'> <input type="radio" id="sex" value=1 checked><label>Male</label> <input type="radio" id="sex" value=2><label>Femaleale</label> <?php $result = "value"; if ($result == 2) echo "<input type='int' id='gradYear' size='3' required>"; else echo "Not a female!" ?> <input type="submit" value="GO"> </form> </body> </html> The code passes debug, however, Not a Female is displayed. My question is - Can I do this and if so, what value do I test against id='sex' or value. I tried each one but gave the same results. I realize that $_POST[sex] would be used after the submit button is clicked. But this has me stumped. Thanks for the assis in advance. Hi to all people, I just want to know if there a php script I can use using DRM. The scenario, once the user download the song from a website, he/she can't forward into other using bluetooth or file transfer. It is possible to do that scenario? Thanks in advance hi, im trying to say if field ARTIST = Eminem then do the following. here is my current code Code: [Select] $hmm = simplexml_load_file('http://localhost/1.0/?method=player.getPlayQueue'); foreach($hmm->tracks->track as $tracks) { $artist = $tracks->artist; $title = $tracks->title; $album = $tracks->album; $index = $tracks->index; $id = $tracks->id; //If we submitted the form if('.$artist.'="eminem") { echo '<table border="0" width="70%" align="center">'; echo '<tr>'; i just need to know how to do the if(***) part. thanks. i have took a test that i think it has some errors: can you please confirm or infirm that A is the right answer? Question: The default value for __FILE__ is _______________________________. A. the complete path of the currently executing script B. the relative path of the currently executing script C. a magical constant; it does not have a default value D. the complete path of the previous executed script E. the relative path of the previous executed script Correct Answer: C User Answer: A Explanation: The PHP engine stores the full path and filename of the currently executing script within the __FILE__ constant. Hey, Got 2 row's as defined: No What i want to do is: If the 2 row's still have the value No echo it, but if row 1 have a changed value echo only row 1. Same goes to row 2. And the 2 row's have both a changed value echo both. Can someone help me? Cheers. Looking at a forum like PHPbb or similar. Wondering if anyone can tell me how the system (or scripts) manages to pull all the user information when viewing a thread without a massive amount of database calls? For example, lets say 1 thread has 10 different users associated to it. When you view the thread, on the left you see the username, their avatar, when the membership was created, maybe even the users level or amount of interaction. So, for each thread view (or page view) does the program do a SQL Select back to the user database for each user's information or is the users information being pulled from cache somewhere? Any insight into the logistics is greatly appreciated! I am trying something simple, creating some horses and making them race using OOP, creating them is easy, how can i find out which one "won" based on the highest total. Here is what i got so far Code: [Select] <?php class Horse { public $strength; public $speed; public $agility; public function create($name,$age,$odds){ $this->name=$name; $this->odds=$odds; $this->strength=(rand(50,200) * $this->odds - $this->age); $this->speed=(rand(100,400) * $this->odds - $this->age); $this->agility=(rand(150,250) * $this->odds - $this->age); $all=array(0=>"$this->strength",1=>"$this->speed",2=>"$this->agility"); echo "<b>$this->name</b> has a strength of <b>$this->strength</b>, a speed of <b>$this->speed</b> and agility at <b>$this->agility</b>. --- <b>".array_sum($all)."</b><br>"; } } $mix=rand(2,6); $a=new Horse; $a->create("Dave", 2, $mix); $a->create("Dude", 3, $mix); $a->create("Evan", 3, $mix); $a->create("Jill", 15, $mix); $a->create("Flex", 10, $mix); ?> I cant figure out a way to find out who had the highest total, i would love to know what i am doing wrong. I'm creating a re classified ad site and I've hit a brick wall. I'm trying to create a 'listing' which will contain info and pictures of the property that's for sale, but I'm unsure on how to do it. Would I have to create different db tables to have the albums, images and listing together? Or would can I just do it all in one table? I appreciate your help. What does this code do? public function render() { $this->set('users', $this->model->findAll()); } TomTees I have been away from PHP for a long time and I was looking over my old scripts. I did PHP OOP at one time and I used a paticular method to connect all my methods up and load them. I have been looking at other peoples code and when I look at my code it does not even feel like OOP, I want to know how to you link all the methods (or is it called functions?) in a class up and return them? I use to do this: Code: [Select] <?php class quickFUNC { function note_pad() { // code for notepad } function quickAdminFunc() { // code for admin func $this->note_pad(); } } $quickFUNC = new quickFUNC; if(isset($_GET['id'])) { $act = $_GET['id']; } else { $act = NULL; } switch ($act) { case 1: //some random code to launch case 1 break; default: $quickFUNC ->quickAdminFunc(); ?> This was my code back in the days, as you can see the notepad was called in the admin function then made the admin function default in the case switch. I looked at all my script and the all are layed out like this :S.. Can I get some help please, thank you. Just get started with OO in PHP. If I create an object while on one page and then call another page, can I still access that first object, or is it destroyed when the second page is called? For example, if I have on page1.php: Code: [Select] $obj = new $MyObject(); and then call page2.php, is it possible to still access $obj while on that page? Code: [Select] /*** a new dom object ***/ $dom = new domDocument; /*** load the html into the object ***/ @$dom->loadHTML($file); /*** discard white space ***/ $dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false; /*** the table by its tag name ***/ $tables = $dom->getElementsByTagName('table'); /*** get all rows from the table ***/ $rows = $tables->item(0)->getElementsByTagName('tr'); /*** loop over the table rows ***/ foreach ($rows as $row) { /*** get each column by tag name ***/ $cols = $row->getElementsByTagName('a'); /*** echo the values ***/ echo $cols->item(0)->nodeValue.'<br />'; } Hi, Is there a way to start to echo from 43? thanks. Hey, I have a while that shows the rows(duh). What i want to do is: show 3 rows then echo float left or clear both. So basically 3 at a time, but it shows all the rows in a nice order. Can someone do this? Cheers. I'm trying to secure my login system as much as possible from SQL injections and other attacks. I know that by using mysql_real_escape_string() you can prevent that and I'm using that on for example the username input, but I would like to know if you hash the password before you send it to the database with MD5, do you still need to use mysql_real_escape_string()? A very quick and simple example: Code: [Select] <?php $un = $_POST['username']; $pass = $_POST['password']; $pass = md5($pass); mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE password='$pass' AND username='$un'"); ?> If someone wrote a possible SQL query in the password input, wouldn't that be rendered useless as the md5 will hash it before sending it and therefor "hide" it? Or is there any other reason you wouldn't want people to use sertain characters/symbols in their passwords? I have an issue with the below code Code: [Select] if ($gtype == "%24L" || $gtype == "$L") The value actually starts with the dollar sign then L, but its being read as a variable that's not assigned so it showing as blank. so the question is how to I get to check and see if the value of gtype actually is $L in a way that it wont read $L as a variable and as a value instead? I'm considering getting a VPS, but I'm not entirely sure what this would be able the handle. The specs doesn't look that good to me, but my friend swears it will handle running apache/php/mysql handling large websites and databases without a problem. I want to run multiple databases that just store statistics and I'm a bit worried about the RAM and the company doesn't even mention a cpu. Here's the specs: 256MB RAM 300GB HDD 10Mbps unmetered 1 IP Address My friend runs two counter-strike: source servers off his VPS (same stats).. so I'm actually considering this, but it just seems like it's not powerful enough. Oh.. forgot the most important part.. it's only $9. say i have a mysql table with the following fileds user_id picture_category picture_title picture_description picture_thumb //small image size picture_normal //large image size. ok what I'm trying to do is this. if( user_id && picture_category == the same name show all the pictures in that category as one section) //show this category and all the images from this user_id and picture_category so if this user_id has a new category name and new images uploaded it would show the images in the right category. my php xml script is in the works and is looking like this so far. <?php include "../../connect.php"; Header('Cache-Control: no-cache'); Header('Pragma: no-cache'); $username = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['username']); $user_folder = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['user_folder']); //$password = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['password']); $friend = (isset($_GET['friend'])) ? ' AND b.friend = \'' . mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['friend']) . '\' ' : NULL; $query = "SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE username = '$username'"; $results = mysql_query($query) or die("Data not found."); //Get the number of results from the query. $rows = mysql_num_rows($results); //If their is a match for the username, echo the the users xml data. if($rows == 1) { $query1 = "SELECT * FROM user_photo_gallery WHERE username = '$username'"; $query2 = "SELECT * FROM user_photo_gallery WHERE username = '$username' AND user_folder = '$user_folder'"; $results1 = mysql_query($query1) or die("Data not found."); $results2 = mysql_query($query2) or die("Data not found."); //$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results1); $user_xml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n"; $user_xml .= "<settings>\n"; $user_xml .= "<sceneHeight>600</sceneHeight>\n"; $user_xml .= "<sceneWidth>1000</sceneWidth>\n"; $user_xml .= "<titleColor>#000000</titleColor>\n"; $user_xml .= "<descriptionBgAlpha>70</descriptionBgAlpha>\n"; $user_xml .= "<showFullscreenBtn>no</showFullscreenBtn>\n"; $user_xml .= "<waterMark useImage=\"no\"><![CDATA[THIS]]></waterMark>\n"; $user_xml .= "</settings>\n"; $user_xml .="<galleries>\n"; //$sql = "SELECT a.username,a.user_folder,a.large_pic,a.small_pic,a.pic_title,a.pic_discription,b.username FROM (user_photo_gallery as a )JOIN `user_friends_list` as b ON (b.friend = a.username)WHERE (b.username = '$username' $friend AND b.status = 1) ORDER BY a.user_folder DESC"; //$result2 = mysql_query($sql); //if(mysql_num_rows($result2) > 0) //{ while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results1)) { $user_xml .="<gallery theName=\"". $row['user_folder'] ."\" itemsPerRow=\"3\" autoStart=\"no\" playTime=\"5\" autoResize=\"yes\" xOffset=\"5\" yOffset=\"10\" showTitleOnThumbs=\"yes\" allowDownload=\"yes\">\n"; if($row['user_folder'] =="Demo_Photos") { //select all pictures where this folder name and username maybe? while ($row1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($results2)) { $user_xml .="<picture largePicture=\"". $row1['large_pic'] ."\" smallPicture=\"". $row1['small_pic'] ."\" theTitle=\"". $row1['pic_title'] ."\"><![CDATA[". $row1['pic_discription'] ."]]>\n"; $user_xml .="</picture>\n"; } } else { } $user_xml .="</gallery>\n"; } //} //else //{ //echo "Wiistream Eorror!\n"; //}; $user_xml .="</galleries>\n"; echo $user_xml; } else { echo "Wiistream Eorror!\n"; } ?> the real xml file should look like this.

I also have a join table included to join if this user has friendship with that user. and then you would see all your pictures upload and category's. and all your friends pictures and category's. |
