PHP - Debugging Suggestions?

This topic has been moved to Third Party PHP Scripts.

Hey all,
  I'm having some trouble running some mysql statements through mysqli. I've tried to debug them various ways, but to no avail. This is the offending code:
class DBOPS {
protected $config, $mysqli;

public function __construct () {
$this->config = array (...snip...);
$this->mysqli = new mysqli ($this->config['server'], $this->config['username'], $this->config['password'], $this->config['database']);
session_start();
}

public function Login ($username, $password) {
$toreturn = NULL;

//Problem area is from here...

$encryptedpassword = hash(...snip...);

print_r(array(
$this->config['usertable']['username'],
$username,
$this->config['usertable']['password'],
$encryptedpassword));

$statement = $this->mysqli->stmt_init();
$statement->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE ? = ? AND ? = ?');
$statement->bind_param(
'ssss',
$this->config['usertable']['username'],
$username,
$this->config['usertable']['password'],
$encryptedpassword);

$statement->execute();

print_r($statement->affected_rows);

//To here.

if ($statement->affected_rows == 1) {
$_SESSION[$this->config['sessiondata']['username']] = $username;
$_SESSION[$this->config['sessiondata']['lastactivity']] = time();

$toreturn = TRUE;
} else {
$toreturn = FALSE;
}

$statement->close();

return $toreturn;
}

The print_r($statement->affected_rows); statement always returns -1, which means a query error. Is there a problem with the syntax of the predefined query in $statement->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE ? = ? AND ? = ?') ? I really can't seem to find the problem in this code. There are no errors returned. The output from the print_r() statements are
Code: [Select]
Array ( [0] => Name [1] => Trey [2] => Password [3] => ...snip... )from the first print_r and
Code: [Select]
-1from the second.

And lastly, I know that DIY login systems are generally discouraged, but this is more of a research project. I would greatly appreciate any help with this.

Thanks.

Hi

I was playing with a poll, but for some reasons it won't email me(the bottom most part). Where did I go wrong?

Also any suggestions on how to improve this?

Thanks your the best guys!

hi Guys..............i am final year student and i need to submit a project that should me medium to large size and i want to build it on PHP so it would be very kind if you can kindly suggest me topics for the same however there is just one restriction the process that i cannot build anything like management systems or social networking websites the idea should be new and catchy and ya one more thing no e-com websites as well.....................looking ahead for your advice..................thank you.

i have made my own website suggestion box but when i start typing in on my websites search box google chrome automatically suggests other words and you can't see underneath. I don't want this to happen to other people viewing my website. Is there any sort of code i an put on my website to stop this?

How to do #3 by a PHP page instead? mainly so
that there wouldn't be a need to
export the sql after doing #2 then
import it into the online phpmyadmin(#3)

#1. Convert database from foxpro to sql
#2. Change some fields in the sql table
#3. Upload to phpmyadmin

Is it possible to create a code to export
from the server and then import the sql online?

like by making use of mysql_fetch_array() and insert into

This is what I am using and it returns the entire schedule for the whole league...

if ($display == "schedule") {

$schedule = $ffn->getSchedule();

echo '<h4>Season Schedule</h4>';
echo '<p>Season: ', $schedule->Season, '</p>';

foreach($schedule->Games AS $game) {
echo '<p>';
echo 'Week: ', $game->Week, ' ', $game->AwayTeam, ' at ', $game->HomeTeam, ' on ', date("M j, Y", strtotime($game->GameDate)), ' at ', $game->GameTime, ' ', $schedule->Timezone;
echo '</p>';
}
}

BUT what I would like to do is search the info and only post info for one team...

I have tried this...

if ($display == "schedule") {

$schedule = $ffn->getSchedule();

echo '<h4>Season Schedule</h4>';
echo '<p>Season: ', $schedule->Season, '</p>';

foreach($schedule->Games AS $game)
if (AwayTeam == 'DAL") {
echo '<p>';
echo 'Week: ', $game->Week, ' ', $game->AwayTeam, ' at ', $game->HomeTeam, ' on ', date("M j, Y", strtotime($game->GameDate)), ' at ', $game->GameTime, ' ', $schedule->Timezone;
echo '</p>';
}
}
ELSE IF (HomeTeam == 'DAL')
if ($display == "schedule") {

$schedule = $ffn->getSchedule();

echo '<h4>Season Schedule</h4>';
echo '<p>Season: ', $schedule->Season, '</p>';

foreach($schedule->Games AS $game) {
echo '<p>';
echo 'Week: ', $game->Week, ' ', $game->AwayTeam, ' at ', $game->HomeTeam, ' on ', date("M j, Y", strtotime($game->GameDate)), ' at ', $game->GameTime, ' ', $schedule->Timezone;
echo '</p>';
}
}

Else 
echo "No Games Scheduled"

Problem is it's not working... how can I just pull the info for DAL and only display that info.  The info is coming from an XML file...

Thanks in Advance!

Hello there,

Thank you for taking the time to visit my thread. I've been brainstorming for the past few days trying to establish the best method of a content management system. I'm curious since you are all highly advanced PHP coders what you think the best method of content management is I would like it to be presented in the URL in the following method:

file.php?v=example


So please share your ideas remember there is never a stupid suggestion I want to hear all your possibilities please!

This topic has been moved to Miscellaneous.

Hello all,

I'm looking for some advice on a problem.
I have a very basic web page containing three section, the header, the content and the footer in that order. What I would like is the header and footer always on the page and only the content section change by means of links in a navigation bar. I've looked into iframes, php include, javascript and something called Ajax and must say I'm all a bit confused by it all.

Which would be most advisable and how would I excecute it.

My pages are as follows.
Home page is.

suggestions on how to write this code better
I have a form that has 2 textboxes in it. The php listed below...confirms that the passwords match, confirms that there are at least 6 characters in in, confirms that there is at least 1 number. I am doing mostly if statements with it, but I was wondering if there was a better way to write.

}

Hello, I went through the forum, its geat but I think missing one feature,   There should be a forum about having general conversations and if someone wanted to talk about taking suggestions to help him/her across the world of programming, that would be very great.   Thanks.

Hi guys. I haven't been for a while in this great community.

I'm starting to develop a PHP-based forum software that I'm planning to release as Open Source locally (in my country, Albania). I've got a few developers in the team to help me on the core and features. But I wanted to ask for a few suggestions on some specific features. I have a few ideas on them, but you may have better options.

1. Forums and topics marked as "read" or "unread" are a nice feature that gives you in a glimpse what has happened. The problem is that I have no good idea on how to implement it. My first thought was to store an array in a cookie with the threads read in the last 10 days (so it doesn't become overloaded) and check those dates with the updated posts. Any idea that could work better?

2. I've never handled an "update feature". The idea is to offer an update installation when I will release the software and maintain it. Any idea how to design such a feature?

3. Any suggestion on searching (FULL TEXT SEARCH) and caching (DB and Template)?

Hope it's not too much a request and you guys can give a few suggestions.

I could really use some advise and ideas on PHP caching. Specifically I'm working on a CMS application and after its completed I realized there is an opportunity to increase performance if some of the pages are cached. And the terms I'm using for search are taking too long to sift through 

I thonk what I'm looking for could be like a CGI script, but I don't have any experience with that right now. Another idea is to wrap my 'public php' page with a check for an existing cached file, else run the query. And add, somewhere in my existing 'admin php' page, a write to file scriptie to create the cache file.

Or something else entirely. I don't know yet. I'd like to read some explanations of projects and scripts that either create a 'push CMS' application, or maybe a 'pull CMS' where the parameters for the cache are not time-based (expiration) but file based (file exist?). Or something else...

Kudos and huzz-zaa's for the dude who can put words to my dribble.
