PHP - Simple Text Site

Hi Guys   I'm just getting back into coding after taking a break from it.  I want to have a text field that can take up to 1000 characters. What is the best field type for the MySQL field for this?  I can't remember if there are any particular special types.   Thanks

Hi there, Im working on my little project and I would appreciate your help. I have only basic knowledge of php, mostly I just copy some scripts that could be useful for me. Im trying to find some simple script that allows me to see the written text on web page no. 1 on webpage no. 2.. Something like send the form to email, except I dont want to send it on email, but different webpage. Something like different way of eshop, where you get your order shipped to email, but I wanna send this information to webpage. Is there such a script like Im describing? Probably is but I dont know how to search for this..   Thank You

I have several "sites" located in my html directory, and each has a "general" access point and an "administrator" access point:

/var/www/html/site1/index.php
/var/www/html/site1/administrator/index.php
/var/www/html/site2/index.php
/var/www/html/site2/administrator/index.php
/var/www/html/site3/index.php
/var/www/html/site3/administrator/index.php

All sites are similar except that data will be specific to site1, site2, or site3, etc.   Users who log onto /var/www/html/siteX/index.php are totally unrelated to those who logon to /var/www/html/siteX/administrator/index.php, will have different logon credentials, are stored in different DB tables, and each should have their own session.  If a user logs off of either the general or administrator site, it should not effect the other site even if they were previously logged on to both on the same PC (and of course not effect other sites). When a user logs off, I would like to destroy their previous cookie and associated session.  Users for either will only use https.  I am using Apache to rewrite https://www.mysite.com/ to https://mysite.com/.  While I named the administrator site "administrator" above, the administrator user has the ability to change the directory name.   I am thinking I need to use session_set_cookie_params to specify where I wish the session cookie to be stored since /var/www/html/siteX/administrator/index.php is a sub-directory to /var/www/html/siteX/index.php, but am not really sure.  Sorry for the cryptic post, but I am not very well versed in this subject. How would you recommend setting up cookies/sessions for this scenario?  Thank you

now i use this code to show where the visitors came from to my site.

<?php
$referer=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
echo $referer;
?>

now, i want to show the  5 latest vistors referer's site url on my site ?

Not sure if I'm trying to achieve something totally crazy here, or if this is something pretty standard. Didn't have much luck with searching as I'm not fully down with all the terms.

(A) I have one site providing an RSS feed.
(B) I have one site I want to search, once for each of the items in the feed A.
(C) I want the results of the search in (B) to be displayed on page (C).

So for example, the feed on (A) says;

apples
bananas
oranges
cheese

I want site (B) to search for each of those terms (by passing the item in the feed (A) to the ?search= part of the URL of that page) and then show the results from THAT search on page C. Bit of a complex one, let me know if you need me to clarify. Thanks for any help! 

Hi,

My first post here is a cry for help

I have a Windows 2003 server running IIS6/PHP5, the server hosts multiple web sites.

The problem is include files that are for site A are showing on site B (each site having its own includes as part of the site files in its own site folder), though not every time, its very random, sometimes the correct includes show, sometimes ones from another site on the same server. This only occurs where the include files for both sites have the same name, such as 'inc-header.php' for example.

I can only assume PHP is caching includes and because they have the same name is showing the wrong one on other sites sometimes, if I rename them to something unique then the problem goes away, but its not a practical solution to rename all include files to unique names so I find myself looking for a 'real' fix.

I have a feeling its to do with the include_path in the php.ini, but right now its disabled with a semi-colon, and I don't want to set one as I have no global includes, all includes are site specific.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Transferring data from sub-domain.site.com
Reading sub-domain.site.com

What is this all about?
I'm going to put all .. images into a separate sub-domain eg: images.site.com.
This would create a folder inside my public_HTML called "images"

Now when sites have that Transferring data, and Reading... is this .. something relating to what I want. Facebook also does it, and they get their images for the site from a sub domain, how is it all done?

I'm not sure if its entirely PHP, but I hope someone can help.

Thanks

I'm currently running a classified ads site and planning to display my own content from database combined with and external site rss. So here is what i got right now after the db query for the jobs ads (procedural php),

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($results, MYSQLI_ASSOC)){


echo '<div class="media margin-none">
<a class="pull-left bg-inverse innerAll text-center" href="#"><img src="'.$foto.'" share_alt="" width="100" height="100"></a>
<div class="media-body innerAll">
<h4 class="media-heading innerT">
<a href="' . $row['title'] .'-da' . $row['id_ad'] . '" class="text-inverse">'. $remuneracion .' &nbsp; ' . substr(ucfirst(strtolower($row['title'])), 0, 53) . '</a> <small class="pull-right label label-default"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-calendar-o"></i> ' . $row['date_created'] . '</small></h4>
<p>' . substr(ucfirst(strtolower($row['description'])), 0, 80) . ' ...</p>';

echo '</div>
</div>
<div class="col-separator-h"></div>';
}

echo pagination($statement,$per_page,$page, $url_filtros, $filtros);
?>

it is the while loop that i use to display ads from my database, what could be the best way to display (in this same loop?) other site's rss feed so i can show my content combined with the external rss? Thanks

Hi I made a new design for my website and I made some changes. I want to use layout for my second site. I'll like to know if my site is easier to browse through now and if you like the design better?. I test my site on internet explorer, chrome, and firefox. It is best to use site on better browsers like firefox and chrome to get a better experience of site. Thanks.   http://adjade.com

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to select either a class or an id using PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser with absolutely no luck.  My example is very simple and seems to comply to the examples given in the manual(http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/manual.htm) but it just wont work, it's driving me up the wall.

Here is my example: http://schulnetz.nibis.de/db/schulen/schule.php?schulnr=94468&lschb=

I think the HTML is invalid: i cannot parse it.

Well i need more examples - probly i have overseen something!

If anybody has a working example of Simple-html-dom-parser...i would be happy.
The examples on the developersite are not very helpful.

Hello, im very green to php and I am having trouble creating a simple log in script. Not sure why this is not working, maybe a mysql_query mistake? I am not receiving any errors but nothing gets updated in the members table and my error message to the user displays.  any help is appreciated! here is my php:


<?php
session_start();

$errorMsg = '';
$email = '';
$pass = '';

if (isset($_POST['email'])) {
   $email = ($_POST['email']);
   $pass = ($_POST['password']);
   
   $email = stripslashes($email);
    $pass = stripslashes($pass);
   $email = strip_tags($email);
   $pass = strip_tags($pass);
   
if ((!$email) || (!$pass)) {
   $errorMsg = '<font color="#FF0000">Please fill in both fields</font>';
}else {
   include 'scripts/connect_db.php';
   $email = mysql_real_escape_string ($email);
   $pass = md5($pass);
   
   $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE email='$email' AND password='$pass'");
   
   $log_check = mysql_num_rows($sql);
   
if ($log_check > 0) {
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
      
      $id = $row["id"];
      $_SESSION['id'];
      $email = $row["email"];
      $_SESSION['email'];
      $username = $row["username"];
      $_session['username'];
      
      mysql_query("UPDATE members SET last_logged=now() WHERE id='$id' LIMIT 1");
      
   }//Close while loop
   echo "You are logged in";
             exit();
}
else {
   $errorMsg = '<font color="#FF0000">Incorrect login data, please try again</font>';
}


     }
}

<?php echo $errorMsg; ?>
<form action="log_in.php" method="post">
Email:<br />
<input name="email" type="text" /><br /><br />
