PHP - Weird Url Characters On Facebook Login Redirect

Hello guys,

Is there on web any updated tutorial on how can I add Facebook login on my simple php login script?

Hi.  I made a website to keep track of where I am in various manga.  I noticed that sometimes the title I grab looks OK when rendered on the page but in the database it's weird looking

I did a for ($x=0; $x<strlen($title); $x++) loop and dumped $x, char at $ pos and ord of char:

0 = T = 84
1 = h = 104
2 = e = 101
3 =   = 32
4 = D = 68
5 = e = 101
6 = m = 109
7 = o = 111
8 = n = 110
9 =   = 32
10 = K = 75
11 = i = 105
12 = n = 110
13 = g = 103
14 = � = 226
15 = � = 128
16 = � = 153
17 = s = 115
18 =   = 32
19 = D = 68
20 = a = 97

Is there some nifty built in function for converting that weird stuff to a regular apostrophe (and convert any other weird stuff)?  I mean, I can write a filter to look for 226/128/153 and replace with ' but I'm sure there must be a proper way to handle that stuff.  Thanks!

I have a weird problem with an md5() function.

I am trying to write a token system, (just for my own fun really), going off an example guestbook I got help with from here.

What my main aim is to allow the moderator for the guestbook to receive an email (which is working in its own context), with a link to a script page that checks into the database and when the user clicks on the link it allows the message in the guestbook to be shown.

But when I try md5() the ip address of the user it works, but I thought if that same user went in and did another post, it would come up with the same checksum, causing quite bad problems to be honest.

So I thought about using something like:


$time = microtime();
$checksum = md5($ip,$time);


But this keeps coming up with say:

Is there anyway of getting around this at all?

To show a real value as I am sure this wont work, any helps greatly appreciated,

I have a piece of code that outputs json as you can see from the example below it add \ / in front of urls & for ' it turns it into &#39; is there something i can do to correct this?

Code: [Select]
if (mysqli_num_rows($r) > 0) { // Available.
 
    while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
   
$results[] = array(
      'blog_id' => ($row['ID']),
          'post_date' => ($row['pd']),
'post_title' => ($row['post_title']),
'article_img' => ('http://www.socialnewsoffice.com/uploads/'.$row['article_img']),
'post_content' => ($row['post_content']),
'tags' => ($row['tags']),
'views' => ($row['views']),
'categorie_id' => ($row['categorie_id']),
'post_url' => ($row['post_url']));
    }
echo $json = Pretty_JSON(json_encode($results));

it outputs

Hi,

I am planning to integrate Facebook login into my site, I found this useful guide: Code: [Select]
http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/tutorials/facebook-integrate/

Has anyone tried it before, if so how difficult would you say it is to do this?

My site is operated by matching id numbers with username.  How would I get a username from a Facebook login?
