PHP - Record Part Of Input To Variable?

Hi guys,

I want to create a piece of script that takes my users to a website based of there input in a form. Basiaclly what they input into a text field will become part of the URL used in action at the top of the form.

So it would look like this:

http://www."their input from form".mydomain.com

does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Thanks

I have some code where I am inserting a record into a database.

Code: [Select]

However, I have a problem - i get this error message;

An error occurred in script 'C:\Users\David Morgan\Desktop\WEBSITES\hairz_&_graces\site\admin\add_product.php' on line 124:
mysqli_stmt_bind_param() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_stmt, boolean given

How do I solve this as I think I have everything in place (variable associations, etc)?

Hey there.
Thinking this should be an easy one but I can only seem to find info on the string replace function.
What I'm trying to do is strip everything after the @ from an email variable.

So for example $mail variable comes in as
me@gmail.com

How would I strip the variable to only contain me and remove the @gmail.com

I'll keep searching for the answer myself but if anyone can throw me a bone it's be appreciated.

Cheers

Hello all. I am very new to PHP, and I am not sure where to look or what I'm looking for in my current assignment.

My task is to take in two numbers between 0-100. Once I take in that number, it should state beside it "The __ was accepted."
The program should not accept any numbers greater than 100 or any characters.

Once I do this, I must take a second number and do a similar thing.

Finally, I must have a statement show up at the bottom stating which number is greater.

Essentially, I need help in determining what I should use to place parameters, and how I can keep the program from echo ing any statement until input has been taken and tested for parameters.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated!
