PHP - Unable To 'enter Pass Phrase...

Hi, and thanks for any help with this. 

I have this but of php i have been trying relentlessly to get working.. for over a month.
 

<?php
$abs="one two three four words";
$mT = "testing for matching words";

$words=explode(' ', $abs);
//$sf=($words);


if (preg_match($words, $mT))
{
        echo "the url $mT contains a Word";
}
else
{
        echo "the url $mT does Not contain a Word";

echo "$words[4]";

}
?>

You see, I get a responce only using the last line "$words[4]", (obviously, because I am pointing it the Matching word, (ie: with [4])
What i need to have is that the script will automatically "find" that Matching Word for me with ANYwhere of the string of $abs (not just the beginning or the ending)". 

not making it confusing, but the obvious word in this I am looking to find is the word, "words".
😕

Thanks so much for any help.

better description.

I work with a large codebase and I have this situation come up fairly often:   the legacy class has large objects such as:

$design->motor->dimensions->a;
$design->motor->dimensions->bd;
$design->specifications->weight;
$design->data->height;
//etc

When I create a new class, that class sometimes operates on the specific data, so say:

class MyClass
{
    public function compute($weight, $height, $a)
    {
        //stuff
    }
}

//and I call this for example as such:
(new MyClass())->compute($design->specifications->weight, $design->data->height, $design->motor->dimensions->a);

CONS:  Potential issue:  if design specs change and I need to change things parameters in "compute" function, I need to "re-key" the variables I pass to the function, and adjust things accordinly in MyClass as wel. PROS:  only the exact data is being passed, and this data can come from anywhere it is viable, so in effect the function is fairly well separated, I think.   Alternative option for me is to pass the entire design object, i.e

class MyClass
{
    public function compute(&$design) //can also be done via DI through a setter or constructor.
    {
         print $design->specifications->weight;
         print ($design->data->height + $design->motor->dimensions->a);
        //stuff
    }
}

(new MyClass())->compute($design);

PROS:  In this case when things change internally in which variables are needed and how things are computed, I only need to change the code in compute function of the class itself. CONS:  MyClass now needs to be aware of how $design object is constructed.   When it comes to this parameter passing, and Dependency Injection like this in general, does Computer Science advocate a preference on this issue?  Do I pass the entire object, or do I pass only the bits and pieces I need?

I'm trying to get a simple table to display and am not sure how to make it happen.  Table will have just 2 columns.  A TIME and an EVENT.  What I want to have happen is for the first row to show the TIME and next to that, the EVENT.  If a TIME has more than one event going I want the next row to show an empty first cell and then the second event below the first.

If I set up the loop the only way I know how (so far) it would also output the TIME value again and again as many times as there were events for that same time.  For example what I don't want is:

9:15  Sunday School
9:15 Nursery Available

What I do want is:

9:15 Sunday School
        Nursery Available

Thanks.

Hi There,

I have an application that uses a Flash front end.   The user fills out a card.  The variables of that card are stored in an SQL Database and the recipient gets an email with a unique url to retrieve the card.

The problem I am faced with ... is that if the user hits their ENTER key while typing their message to create line breaks.. the line breaks are causing the SWFOBJECT Flash Embed to break.

The SWFOBJECT embed code looks like this
Quote

var flashvars = {
         yname: "<?php print "$yname";?>",
         yemail: "<?php print "$yemail";?>",
         fname: "<?php print "$fname";?>",
         femail: "<?php print "$femail";?>",
         greeting: "<?php print "$greeting";?>",
         message: "<?php print "$message";?>",
         fullname:"<?php print "$fullname";?>"
      };




The results look like this when data has been filled out

Quote

<script type="text/javascript">
      var params = {
         quality: "high",
         //scale: "ExactFit",
         wmode: "transparent",
         menu: "false",
         allowfullscreen: "true",
         allowscriptaccess: "always",
         bgcolor: "#014872"
      };
      var flashvars = {
         yname: "Jonathon",
         yemail: "name@email.com",
         fname: "TEST",
         femail: "jname@email.com",
         greeting: "TESTING",
         message: "Test
Test
Test",
         fullname:""
      };




You can see the line breaks whe

Test
Test
Test

Was typed.


Any ideas how to fix this ?

Code: [Select]
$sql= ("INSERT INTO custcards (username,Card_Number,Card_Type,Card_Name,Card_End) VALUES('$username','$cardnumber','$cardtype','$cardname','$cardend')");

if (isset($_GET['submitted'])) {
  if (checkCreditCard ($_GET['CardNumber'], $_GET['CardType'], $errornumber, $errortext)) {
    $errortext = 'This card has a valid format'; // Default text if card is VALID
$result = mysql_query($sql)){
echo "$errortext"; // Echo/Show this text
     
}
}
else
{
 echo '<p align=center>';echo "$errortext"; // Display ERROR Type/Text
 echo "ERROR: ".mysql_error();
}

}
The code is to check details beign entered and to make sure thier correct and then print the correcrt message but i also want it to store the details into a table

i know i havent got the syntax correct was wondering is anyone can help ?

Sorry for the caps, but this is relatively time sensitive.  I am trying to make a register form, but when I click the submit button, nothing happens.  It doesn't add to the table, it doesn't bring me home, doesn't even display the errors if the PWD's don't match or the fields are blank.  Here's my code, thanks guys !  PS:  The DB name is phptest, and the table is called users. 
Code: [Select]
<?php
error_reporting(0);

require_once('connector.php');

$errors = array();

if ($_POST["submit"]) {

if (empty($_POST['username'])) { array_push($errors, 'You did not submit a username.');}
if (empty($_POST['email'])) { array_push($errors, 'You did not submit a email.');}
if (empty($_POST['password1'])) { array_push($errors, 'You did not submit a password.');}

$old_usn = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM users WHERE name = '".$_POST['username']."' LIMIT 1") or die (mysql_error());
if (mysql_num_rows($old_usn) > 0) { array_push($errors, 'This username is already registered.');}

$old_email = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM users WHERE email = '".$_POST['email']."' LIMIT 1") or die (mysql_error());
if (mysql_num_rows($old_email) > 0) { array_push($errors, 'This email is already registered.');}

if ($_POST['password1'] != $_POST['password2']) { array_push($errors,'You entered two different passwords');}

if(sizeof($errors) == 0) { 


$username = $_POST['username'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = sha1 ($_POST['password1']);


mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (name, hashed_psw, email, joined)
VALUES ('{$username}', '{$password1}', '{$email}', NOW());") or die (mysql_error());

 

header ('Location: index.php?msg=1');

And heres the connector.php script:

Code: [Select]
<?php

mysql_connect("localhost", "***", "***") or die (mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("phptest") or die (mysql_error());

?>(yes, the asterisks have the name and pw, just put them just in caseys!

Not sure how to even search for what I'm looking for, which is to say I'm really in need of guidance. 

I have a pre-populated database that I set up with about 260 names in it.  It also has information like, height (basketball players) and high school.  It's a list of kids I mean to invite to play in a league.  From there, they will actually come to the league's site and register.

I'd like for my form to check to see if they are already in the database, and if they are just add personal information, like email and phone number.  If they are not, I'd like for the form to enter all of the information (name, school, etc).

How can I build a form with a drop down menu with the year, day, month?  And then send that information to a database.

If there is another/better option besides a drop down menu?  If so, please tell me.

The rest of the form is working fine, and all the inforamtion is going to the database - last name, first name, address, phone number, zip code, race,,,,,,,,,.

 I work for a not-for-profit medical office - we provide medical services to the local people who can not afford to go to a regular doctor.  We need a simple way to keep track of patient information.  One of the things we need to enter is the birthdate. 

Searching the forums provided a lot of results, but the words date and form are used so much, I can not find anything that helped me.  I also looked through php.net, but can not find anything there.

Before I go digging around for code or conversion to unix time stamp, I'm curious how many of you have a birthday entry on a form which is the least hassle for the person filling out the form. For example

a text box and they can enter 12/1/1992 or 12/1/92 or 12-1-1992

or three text boxes for month, day and year and if so, require an 01 or a 08 or 4 characters for year.

The second method with three boxes would easily convert to a date stamp entry on the other hand if there is a php conversion that would convert any format (12/1/1992, 12/01/92, etc) to a unix time stamp that would make it easier for the person filling out the form.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or help.

The company I work for is a not-for-profit organization, we provide medical services for people who can not afford to go to the regular doctor.  We need a way to keep track of our patients and their visits and a way to search the data.

I found an html form, with name, address, phone number, zip code,,,,,, and made a few changes to fit our needs.  But I do not know how to get that information into the database.

I also need a way to make sure the information is not a duplicate.

Since we are a not-for-profit organization, funds are kinda tight.  That is why I want to go with php instead of buying medical software.  Most of the medical software on the market cost more then we can afford.

I'am a computer tech here at the office, but my field is hardware, networking, and malware removal.  PHP programming is new to me.

So where do I start?

I cannot redirect to other page even I enter correct information and recaptcha in activation form. Anyone who can check what going wrong in my activation script?   Here is my php activation check script:   <?php

Hello everyone,

I have a page with a short form with just a password field and a submit button.  I also have php code setting variables depending on whether or not the password is correct.  When the password is entered and the submit button is CLICKED, everything works as it should.  However, when the password is entered and the ENTER button is pushed to submit the form, the form is reset and nothing else happens.  Also, this only happens in I.E., it works fine with Firefox.  I have plenty of other forms that I use in the same manner but they all work whether the submit button is clicked or the enter button is pushed to submit, regardless of what browser is used.  The idea is to have this window close (it's opened as a pop-up) and the main window load the next page.  Again, it works perfectly as long as the submit button is clicked but not if the enter button is pushed.  Not sure if it has something to do with my php code or what.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

Here's my code:
Code: [Select]
<?php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$pword = md5($_POST['pword']);

$q = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `accounts` WHERE acct_number = '$acct' AND pword = '$pword'") or die (mysql_error());
$r = mysql_num_rows($q); // Checks to see if anything is in the db.

if ($r == 1) {

$student = "true";

} else {

$student = "false";

}

} else {

$student = "unknown";

}
