PHP - A Kick In The Right Direction (session Vars)

Trying to pass VARS $URL1 and $type to header location.Heres the code.

Code: [Select]
$URL1 = $_POST['url'];
$type = $_POST['type_request'];

session_start();
$string = strtoupper($_SESSION['string']);
$userstring = strtoupper($_POST['userstring']);
session_destroy();   

if (($string == $userstring) && (strlen($string) > 4)) {
header("Location: $success");
exit();
The VARS come from a FORM and then go to this script for checkind data. I need to have them continue to the next page.

hi phpfreaks

I am trying to remove the get variables from my url.  the code below works if  I echo it out but to try to modify the $_server variable it will not work. Any ideas?


Code: [Select]
$current_url = explode('?',$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
 $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]= $current_url[0];
 echo $current_url[0]."<br>";

I am inplanting a bonus system to a game i have.
I want to say at first that i am not good at php am reading alot and go by learn by doing.
But after a few hours i kinda gave up.

Here is the code.

The page end up blank.
And i tested so my syntax work $cost and $points with only the db stuff and this code
<div class="yellow_12_bold"><? print (number_format($points)); ?> </div>
<div class="yellow_12_bold"><? print (number_format($cost)); ?> </div>
And it does.


Anyway here is the code 
Code: [Select]

<?


$dbq = $db->execute("select * from Bonus where username='$username'");
$points = $dbq->fields['points'];
$allpoints = $dbq->fields['points_total'];

 $dbq->close();






if ($cost == "5" && $amount == "3000") {


     if ($points == "5" || $points > "5") {

        $sqlb = "update UserData set turns=turns+'3000' WHERE turns < 50000 and location != '9' and frozen = '0'";
        $result1 = mysql_query($sqlb);

        $sqlc = "update Bonus set points=points-'5' WHERE username = '$username';
        $result2 = mysql_query($sqlb);


        $points2 = ($points - 5);

           <p align="center" class="black">Thank you! 3000 turns have been added to everyone.
           You have <div class="yellow_12_bold"><? print (number_format($points)); ?> </div> bonus points left. </p>
}
            else {  <p align="center" class="black">Sorry you dont have $cost points. You have <div class="yellow_12_bold"><? print (number_format($points)); ?> </div> bonus points left.</p>
}



} ?>

H guys,
I have created a quiz, however what i would like to do is have something that keeps an eye on the quiz.  For example if someone is taking the quiz however get 4 incorrect answers in a row then it will abort the quiz.

is it something like a for loop for example.... im not sure?

The code i already got is a basic quiz however im just looking on expaning it more.

Thanks for any help, i appreciate it!

Code: [Select]
<?php 
session_start();

$_SESSION['dclty']  = $_POST['dclty'];

?>
<?php
if ($_SESSION['dclty'] == "beg")
?>
<script>
window.open("extrahelp.php", height=300,width=300);
</script>
<?php
if ($_SESSION['dclty'] == "int")
?>
<script>
window.open("pointers.php", height=300,width=300);

I'm just starting to research xml and I need to know if there's a specific name I should be looking for.

I'm trying to read data from an xml file which is easy when all the tags are different but I've got a test file of students where alot of the data is the same.

For instance:

<STUDENTS>
    <STUDENT>
        <FIRSTNAME>Micheal</FIRSTNAME>
        <LASTNAME>Dorne</LASTNAME>
         <GRADE>10</GRADE>
         <MATHSCORE>89</MATHSCORE>
         <TEACHER>Flinn</TEACHER>
    </STUDENT>
    <STUDENT>
        <FIRSTNAME>Terry</FIRSTNAME>
        <LASTNAME>Williams</LASTNAME>
         <GRADE>11</GRADE>
         <MATHSCORE>78</MATHSCORE>
         <TEACHER>Edwards</TEACHER>
    </STUDENT>
    <STUDENT>
        <FIRSTNAME>Kimberly</FIRSTNAME>
        <LASTNAME>Jenson</LASTNAME>
         <GRADE>10</GRADE>
         <MATHSCORE>92</MATHSCORE>
         <TEACHER>Flinn</TEACHER>
    </STUDENT>
</STUDENTS>

I've reached a point where I need to acquire data from an xml file structured similar to this and need to know where to start. I could be looking for all the data on one specific student or acquiring a list of all student names that have the same teacher for example.

I'd appreciate it if someone could point me the right direction with this. Thanks.

Hi guys,

I, not sure if this post belongs here as I have no idea what the cause of my problem is. However I'm hoping i can post the problems i have and one of you guys might be able to point me in the right direction as to where the problem is.

Anyway up until a few days ago i had a system set up using php and mysql for customers to login to there accounts, buy and sell items etc. Every time a client would buy or sell an item a conformation email would automatically be generated and sent out with all the correct info already saved in the email. This system would also save the buy or sell information and a system administrator could login and view this info.

The problem I have right now is that, none of this information is being saved any more, and the emails are not being generated. A client can do anything they want but no details are being saved.

This problem just came out of nowhere, one day its was working fine, as it has been for well over a year now and then BANG! Its not working any more.

Another strange thing is that I cant even seem to login into the administrator area on any other browser than firefox? I have really no idea why that is.

I would also like to add that I have made no changes to the php code or the sql data prior to this problem.

and lastly I think i should mention that this same system is on another completely different server, and the system has the exact same problem.

If anybody has any clues to this one, or point me in the right direction I would be most grateful, as it has me completely stumped.

Thank you very much in advance.   

Sorry if this isn't the right forum, I wasn't sure where to post this. Alright, so I have a high score submit script, and it goes as follows...

This is the actionscript:
Code: [Select]
on (release) {
var usco LoadVars = new LoadVars();
uscore.name = _root.suname;
uscore.score = _root.suscore.stime;
uscore.game = "alien";
uscore.mode = "survival";
uscore.sendAndLoad("linkhere", uscore, "POST");
play();
}
Note: We have also tried:
Code: [Select]
on (release) {
var usco LoadVars = new LoadVars();
uscore.name = _root.suname;
uscore.score = _root.suscore.stime;
uscore.game = "alien";
uscore.mode = "survival";
var uscoresubmit:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
uscore.sendAndLoad("linkhere", uscoresubmit, "POST");
play();
}

The PHP is:
<?PHP
include('Connect.php');
$name=$_POST['name'];
$name=mysql_real_escape_string($name);
$score=$_POST['score'];
$score=mysql_real_escape_string($score);
$game=$_POST['game'];
$game=mysql_real_escape_string($game);
$mode=$_POST['mode'];
$mode=mysql_real_escape_string($mode);
if(!empty($game))
{
mysql_query("INSERT INTO scores(game, name, score, mode) VALUES ('$game', '$name', '$score', '$mode')");
}
?> 
I have also tried running a number of things on the "else" of that if(!empty($game)) and nothing has pulled through, so I'm under the notion that it isn't loading the page in sendAndLoad()?

It was working before, but it appears to have just stopped, we're not sure what we changed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Xyphon

Hi
I am attempting to request a single row from a table that has 20 fields.
I want to turn each field into it's own variable (you'll see oc1, oc2 etc in the code) and then echo the variable just to check it has worked.

When I run the qry below - it picks up the first one correctly but then places the same value in all the other fields. (The $question var should be a long text string but is echoing the first variable instead.
There's clearly something wrong with the way I have constructed this - but I don't know at which point it has gone wrong.

Can anyone help?

$result = mysql_query("SELECT oid,qid,question,posneg,oc1,oc2,oc3,oc4,oc5,oc6,oc7,psc1,psc2,psc3,psc4,psc5,psc6,psc7,psc8,psc9 FROM tblquestions WHERE oid = '1'");
if (!$result) {
    echo 'Could not run query: ' . mysql_error();
    exit;
}

$oid=mysql_result($result,"oid");
$qid=mysql_result($result,"qid");

I want to use all five results separately in order to use in a Jquery slider.

Code: [Select]
<?php
           $a = "SELECT * FROM blog_posts ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 5";
   $query = mysql_query($a) or die (mysql_error());
           $query_results = mysql_fetch_array($query);
?>

I know if i was going to grab vars from an normal array i would just use...

Code: [Select]
<?php echo $array_reults['0'] ?>

Can any one help me with this problem?

So i've been wanting to expand my php horizons if you will and finally break of my fear of OOP.
Here's a simple connection script i built, however i'm kind of stuck on a part of it.

user passes username/password.

i instantiate the mysqlcon class and call the connect function.
the connect function attempts a connection to the database.
if successful, pass on the username and password to the authenticator class.
call the authenticate function.
select user based on username/passwrod criteria.
if found return "Confirmed" otherwise "Denied"

here's my issue, i'm assuming that my Code: [Select]
return $this->ok variable is returned back to the mysqlcon class. however how can i return that variable once more back outside of the object class so that i can continue with my script assuming authentication was confirmed.

Here's my code... thanks for the help!


<?php
## OOP PRACTICE ##

class mysqlcon

{

function connect($user,$pass)

{

//Note: Connect to the database

$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "usr","psw") or die(mysql_error()); 

if(mysql_select_db("database",$db) or die(mysql_error()))

{

$auth = new authenticator();

$auth->authenticate($user,$pass);

}

}

}

class authenticator

{

var $ok = "Confirmed";

var $ex = "Denied";

function authenticate($user,$pass)

{

//Note: User user and pass variables to check for user in table

$qry = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$user' AND password = '$pass'";

$sql = mysql_query($qry) or die(mysql_error());

$cnt = mysql_num_rows($sql);

if($cnt > 0)

{

return $this->ok;

}

else

{

return $this->ex;

}

}

}



$con = new mysqlcon();
$con->connect($_POST['username'],$_POST['password']);

?>


PS: the classes are in class.php and the instantiation are in index.php. I just placed them together for easy of viewing.

 I've been at this for days, and the more I read the more confusing it gets.
What I want to achieve is: I have a XHTML form with 5 user input fields - These a

name
subject
cust_email
telephone
details

I need to create a PHP script that will on user click - submit a email that has this format (secured if possible:

From= cust_email

Subject= "Customer requested information on" +subject

eMail body= name + "requests information on" + subject
/n
+ details
/n
+ "Contact information"
/n
+telephone
+email.

So the body would look some how like this:

Can you or anyone of the users in this wonderful forum HELP. I'm a print designer and I can assist you guys with anything you may need in print. But web is all to new and I'm struggling.
Thank you, thank you very much.

Alright I didn't really know what to name the thread but w/e. I'm working on writing a blog, just for the purpose of something to apply what I'm learning it's not for production.

I need someone to point me in the general direction of how the front page would look where after a post is made its on top and the older posts are below it:
-- new post
-- old post
-- old post

I don't want the code just a general direction of how I should go about it. Thanks much.

I am starting a project that will encompass the following-

A forum script that will later be tied into it's own custom content management system.

But I have some questions before I get too deep into starting:

1. What is the "most" secure way to code a forum system?
2. Shall I rely on 1 person to code or open it to the public to help too (open source)?
3. Which features of forum scripts do you like and why?
4. How should the plugin system (hooks) be designed?
5. Template system - what is the easiest way to make theming simple?

These are just some of the basics that I am pondering at the moment. I know these may sound noobish but I would rather start this project the right way, instead of having it coded wrong etc.....and having to re-do everything down the road.

Hi there,

Need a little help here if anyone has the time.

In short, I have a page that is dynamic, that sends POST data to a handler, pretty standard stuff. Normally, for me anyway, I know what the field names will be in advance and handle then as usual.

In this case the form content is created dynamically from a GUI I created and the names of the fields are suffixed with the product ID. Within the handler I have stripped the  POST data down to the main two vars, namely the pid- product ID and qty- quantity ordered and within a loop created a string to explode() like;

9_33_21_66


$oStrArray = explode('_', $ostring);

echo "ostring[0] =".$oStrArray[0];
echo "ostring[1] =".$oStrArray[1];
echo "ostring[2] =".$oStrArray[2];
echo "ostring[3] =".$oStrArray[3];


Result =>

ostring[0] =9
ostring[1] =33
ostring[2] =21
ostring[3] =66

Now, the 1st, 3rd, 5th etc will be the pid and the 2nd, 4th, 6th etc. will be the qty.

Only two sets are used in this example, normally 50+ pairs of values will be present.

If it helps with the loop that I need to create - if a foreach will not suffice - I can deduce how may pairs will be present and send this as a var via GET from the form setting a value for i, for instance.

I need to be able to, within a loop,

* pull the first value as a pid

* run a subroutine to pull the data from the DB table to get all the product info to display on a confirmation page [this is not ecom - just emailed orders for existing clients] I can do all the MySQL Query stuff it is just rationalising the data extracted from the array

Well I am sure you can see from that what I am trying to do, I will need to do the multiplications etc.

I do not know how to handle the data in the array created by the explode()

In logic I would say this

if x in $ostring is even then $ostring is a product id [mysql query to get details from table] next item in array is corresponding quantity - print details of product in a table, do the multiplication to give line total and add to $message ready for email - NEXT pair of vars

I really hope that makes sense and someone can point me in the right direction - thanks in advance for any assistance.

Regards

A
