Can someone please look over my code and see if the problem is coming from somewhere within?
I created a connection file (connect.php)
<?
session_start();
// Replace the variable values below
// with your specific database information.
$host = "localhost";
$user = "master";
$pass = "hidden";
$db = "user";
// This part sets up the connection to the
// database (so you don't need to reopen the connection
// again on the same page).
$ms = mysql_pconnect($host, $user, $pass);
if ( !$ms )
{
echo "Error connecting to database.\n";
}
// Then you need to make sure the database you want
// is selected.
mysql_select_db($db);
?>
Then there is the php script (register.php):
<?php
session_start();
// connect.php is a file that contains your
// database connection information. This
// tutorial assumes a connection is made from
// this existing file.
require('connect.php');
// If the values are posted, insert them into the database.
if (isset($_POST['email']) && isset($_POST['password'])){
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$query = "INSERT INTO `member` (firstname, lastname, email, password) VALUES ('$firstname', '$lastname', '$email' '$password')";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if ( !mysql_insert_id() )
{
die("Error: User not added to database.");
}
else
{
// Redirect to thank you page.
Header("Location: surveylanding_no-sidebar.html");
}
}
?>
Here is the HTML form:
<form name="htmlform" method="post" class="form" action="register.php">
<p class="firstname">
<input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname" />
<label for="firstname">First Name</label>

Hello Im quite confused at what filtering I should use on my data when pulling it from a MySQL database. I don't sanitize my data on input because I am using prepared statements with PHP's PDO Driver which means I don't need to use mysql_real_escape_string() at all. When I pull the data to be displayed i.e. in a HTML Table I use the below function to make it safe for HTML output. public static function htmlSafe($data) { return nl2br(htmlentities($data, ENT_QUOTES)); } However the rules change when Im using a HTML Form to edit the data, and I am unsure what I need to strip out. I.e. What would I need to do to make all data safe to insert into the following form input. <input id = "someInput" type = "text" value = "<?php echo $someVarThatNeedsFiltering ?>" /> Also, one more question, in my html attributes (Valid ones like class, name, id, style, _target) I use a mixture of double quotes(") and single quotes ('), for quoting my values. Which one should I use or which one is more valid, doubles, or singles? So i have this CMS that is used by lots of users and generally they do have rights to edit each others article. So now i'm thinking how can i at least warn them that somebody else is already editing it. Just that. maybe with sessions? but what happens when a user just closes the windows, will it destroy it. i taught about storing the value to mySQL but again what if the user closes the windows and so on. i never did this and i could use a boost. thanks guys Hi, I want to post a simple comments box at the bottom of one of my web pages that will send the data from 4 different inputs, named "email," "name," "comments," and "telephone," to my email. Can someone look at my php code and see what is wrong? The website code box works great if I enter in all the fields, however if the email box is not filled out and you click the submit button, it displays "Invalid email address enteredThank you for your message, we will be in touch shortly" How do I get rid of "Thank you for your message, we will be in touch shortly" Also, it sends the email even if the ['Name'] tag is not filled out, I not sure how to make it required. By the way, I'm new to php, so sorry if this is a little hard to understand.

Hi I have a list created using php and mysql linked together. I have an edit and a delete button which edits and deletes data on the database. When I click edit it brings up current information and I can change it, which is fine. But I click to edit it in the database it changes all the records I have in the database!!! Instead of the specific record!!!! Could anybody please help!!!! the files are created upon registration. just i get this error.. Warning: include(1) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bob/public_html/mysite/profiles/write.php on line 129 Warning: include(1) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bob/public_html/mysite/profiles/write.php on line 129 Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '1' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/bob/public_html/mysite/profiles/write.php on line 129 Code: [Select] $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'")or die(mysql_error()); while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check )) $filename = "/home/bob/public_html/mysite/profiles/profileinfo/$username.info.php" or exit("Unable to open file!"); $handle = fopen($filename, 'w')or die; $content = "<b>Firstname: </b>$firstname <br> <b> Lastname: </b> $lastname <p> <b> Birthday: </b>$day $month $year <br> <b> Location: </b> $location"; fwrite($handle, $content)or die; fclose($handle); } $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'")or die(mysql_error()); while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check )) include ("/home/bob/public_html/mysite/profiles/profileinfo/$username.info.php")or die; Hi everyone I am using this code which is an example from a website Code: [Select] <?php $file_handle = fopen("myfile", "rb"); while (!feof($file_handle) ) { $line_of_text = fgets($file_handle); $parts = explode('=', $line_of_text); print $parts[0] . $parts[1]. "<BR>"; } fclose($file_handle); ?> Which does what it is meant to, however what I am trying to do is put all the input into a form, so values can be changed. How do I separate each part? Eg the 1st line of the files reads isactive = true, how would I grab this so I can put it back to the file later as isactive = false? Not all the options are true/false, most are just strings or ints. Thanks One more question for the day. I'm trying to figure out the best way to run about this. Right now I have it set up so that two or more content pages CAN NOT have the same name or shortname as it performs checks to verify that there aren't both on my add new and edit pages. Now problem here is that say I'm on the edit form and I'm editing a content page with its dropdowns and what not in the form. Now I'm thinking what would be the next course of option because what if I only want to change one dropdown but still keep the same name and shortname. When I submit it, its going to kickback my response that it can't be saved because there's already a page in there with that name and shortname even though I didn't change it. Any suggestions? I've been working with PHP for only a few weeks now. I have learned a significant amount by creating a custom web app. I can usually figure things out by massive Googling and trial and error but this one has got me stumped. I have a form for this web app that I'd like to use as a configuration page. It houses all of the settings that the web app needs. On the backend, I'm housing all of this data in a XML file. So far, I've been able to parse the XML file to populate all of the appropriate fields in the HTML form. However, I'm having trouble taking the user's input and saving it back to the same XML. To do this, I have a processconfig.php page as the form's action. In this process.php page, I'm using the elements from the $_POST array to bring over all of the data in the form's fields. I want to take these $_POST array elements and insert them into the same XML that originally populated the form in the first place. With the code below I've been able to get the SimpleXML object to add data to the XML file but it is simply appended to the end with no formatting. As you can see, I've tried to name the form fields the same name as it's POST array element so that I can do the loop but it's not working. Is there an easier way to do this or is there another recommended way to retrieve and store configuration items for a web app? Here's my code: config.xml snippet Code: [Select] <Config> <General> <Logging> <Enabled>No</Enabled> </Logging> <QueryBuybackSites> <Enabled>Yes</Enabled> </QueryBuybackSites> <BuildFBA> <Enabled>No</Enabled> </BuildFBA> <BuildBB> <Enabled>No</Enabled> </BuildBB> <FBARankCutoff> <Value>1000000</Value> </FBARankCutoff> <Amazon0Offer> <DefaultPrice> <Value>47.77</Value> </DefaultPrice> <AutoKeep> <Enabled>Yes</Enabled> </AutoKeep> </Amazon0Offer> </General> </Config> configview.php snippet Code: [Select] <?php //Load all configuration data $configxml = simplexml_load_file('config.xml'); echo '<html> <head> <title>Easy Receive Configuration</title> </head> <body> <form action="processconfig.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="emf-form" method="post"> <table bgcolor="#FFFFFF" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" style="text-align: left;"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" style=""> <font color="#000000" face="Verdana" size="2"><b style="font-size: 20px;">Easy Receive Configuration Settings</b><br /> <label style="font-size: 15px;">This is where you can customize Easy Receive to your personal preferences</label></font> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td colspan="2" style=""> <hr /> <h3 id="element_0" name="element_0" style="font-size: 14px; padding: 10px 0pt 6px; margin: 14px 0pt; position: static;"> <span style="font-size: 24px;"><font color="#000000" face="Verdana">General Configuration Options</font></span></h3> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td align="" style=""> <p> <strong>Enable Logging</strong> <input name="General->Logging->Enabled" type="checkbox" ' . htmlify($configxml->General->Logging->Enabled) .

Every user are able to upload their files and view but the problem is, i need a function for the user to be able to edit it in on the page itself. Hey guys im fairly good with php dont do much struggling apart from now. I decided to make an app that helps the user install itself by checking certain files are writable if there is an installation directory etc etc. But i have come to the point where i want the user to change the username/passwords to access his/her database. i have them pre-defined like so: define('DB_USER','myUsername'); these are stored in includes/config.inc.php I know how to grab data from a user submitted form wither by post/get how would i go about changing these values depending on what the user inputs. So say i capture someones db username like so. $username = $_POST['db_username']; how would i change what ever is stored in the $username variable to replace whats in the define? Thanks guys hope this makes sense |
