PHP - H, First Time Here. Hope To Get Some Help

Hey guys/Gals

ok, so if you want code let me know but in essence just a quick question to an unforseen issue.

Were creating a virutal hacking simulation (for those who have been following me) and we just finised with the crack.php that compares the passwordcracker to the target users Systemkey (the piece that protects the target's pc from lower level attacks) if the passwordcracker is larger than the systemkey or equal to it, it will start the crack procress (that is simply a progress bar, then forward to userhome.php) issue were having right now is when the user attempts to crack but isn't high enough to do so it gives a message saying your software isn't high enough... ISSUE: if at this point I just go and type in userhome.php it connects me without having to crack it.. there is a session set in place that makes sure users are logged in the whole time but can't figure out how I can stop this from allowing access without a successful crack first....

any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thanks;
desjardins, jeff

Hi there

I adapted the pagination tutorial from here on PHP Freaks so that it can deal with a db query.

The pagination itself works just fine but I have a small issue, hopefully someone can help me please.

I have set up the query so that it won't allow blank searches. The script works perfectly well without the pagination.

With the pagination, the script now returns a few results as well as the 'you didn't enter a search-term' message - can someone help me tidy it up please? I'm guessing that I've put the search=$search term in too many places in the pagination script.

This is the query

Code: [Select]
if (isset($_GET['search'])) {
$searchTerms = trim($_GET['search']);
$searchTerms = strip_tags($searchTerms); // remove any html/javascript.
   
if (strlen($searchTerms) < 1) {
      $error[] = '<div class="messagebox">You didn\'t specify a search term</div></div>';
      $error[] = '<div class="small"><a href="search2.php"><p>Search Again?</p></a></div>';
   } else {
      $searchTermDB = mysql_real_escape_string($searchTerms); // prevent sql injection.
   }

$sql = "SELECT * FROM pro_words WHERE word LIKE '%{$searchTermDB}%' ORDER BY word LIMIT $offset, $rowsperpage";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

//display results

if (mysql_num_rows($result) < 1) {
         $error[] = '<div class="messagebox">Sorry, your search term yielded no results.</div>';
         $error[] = '<div class="small"><a href="search.php"><p>Search Again?</p></a></div>';
      } else {
      echo '<div class="messagebox">Here are your search results.</div>';

while ($list = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
   // echo data
echo '<div class="small"><a href="word.php?w=' . $list['word'] . '">' . $list['word'] . '</a></div>'; 
  } //end while

  }
}

This is the pagination

Code: [Select]
// range of num links to show
$range = 3;

// if not on page 1, don't show back links
if ($currentpage > 1) {
   // show << link to go back to page 1
   echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?search=$search&currentpage=1'><<</a> ";
   // get previous page num
   $prevpage = $currentpage - 1;
   // show < link to go back to 1 page
   echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?search=$search&currentpage=$prevpage'><</a> ";
} // end if

// loop to show links to range of pages around current page
for ($x = ($currentpage - $range); $x < (($currentpage + $range) + 1); $x++) {
   // if it's a valid page number...
   if (($x > 0) && ($x <= $totalpages)) {
      // if we're on current page...
      if ($x == $currentpage) {
         // 'highlight' it but don't make a link
         echo " [<b>$x</b>] ";
      // if not current page...
      } else {
         // make it a link
         echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?search=$search&currentpage=$x'>$x</a> ";
      } // end else
   } // end if
} // end for
                 
// if not on last page, show forward and last page links       
if ($currentpage != $totalpages) {
   // get next page
   $nextpage = $currentpage + 1;
    // echo forward link for next page
   echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?search=$search&currentpage=$nextpage'>></a> ";
   // echo forward link for lastpage
   echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?search=$search&currentpage=$totalpages'>>></a> ";
}

Thanks in advance for any help.

How can I use an include file that has a list of links in any directory at my website without breaking those links?

You can see it in action here...

The links in this directory work...

https://www.billelgin.com/primary-directory/

The links in this directory (being created from the same include file) do not work...

https://www.billelgin.com/primary-directory/subsection-one/

Obviously the problem is the include file is being called from different directories, so it's breaking the relative path links in the include file, but what can I do to fix it?

You can download the example directory structure here...

PHP date and time function is not showing correct time on my local system

I have the following php code

date_default_timezone_set("Africa/Lagos");

$date = date('d-m-y h:i:s');

echo "Server Time ".$date ."<br>";

echo "The time is " . date("h:i:sa")."<br>";

$current_datetime = date("Y-m-d") . ' ' . date("H:i:s", STRTOTIME(date('h:i:sa')));

echo "Current time1: ".$current_datetime . "<br>";

 

Output

Server Time 21-05-21 09:55:39
The time is 09:55:39am
Current time1: 2021-05-21 09:55:39

 

Expected Output

Server Time 21-05-21 10:55:39
The time is 10:55:39am
Current time1: 2021-05-21 10:55:3

 

Any help would be appreciated.
