PHP - Inserting Dashes Into Serial Number
So I have this function which generates a random serial # that is 12 characters long. However I want to insert a dash every four characters like so: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
Any suggestions? Code: [Select] <?php $serial1 = get_serial_num(12); //Serial # function function get_serial_num($number_cnt){ $ret_arr = array(); $serial = ""; $ser_num = array("1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","0","A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z"); for($i = 0; $i < $number_cnt; $i++){ $rand = rand(0,count($ser_num)-1); $val = wordwrap($ser_num[$rand],1,"\n", true); $serial .= $val; } return $serial; } echo ''.$serial1.''; ?> Warning: I am a bit noobish. Similar TutorialsI made a function which displays the left and right children of the root. However i need to add serial numbers to them. Due to Recursive functions i'm not quite able to to do so . Can someone please help me? Code: [Select] function side_display($root) { $sql = "SELECT lchild,rchild FROM tree WHERE parent='".$root."'"; $sqlexec = mysql_query($sql); $array = mysql_fetch_array($sqlexec); if(!empty($array['lchild']) && $array['lchild'] != '0') { echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>".($array['lchild'])."</td>"; $get = "SELECT * FROM member WHERE member_id='".$array['lchild']."'"; $execget = mysql_query($get); $getarray = mysql_fetch_array($execget); echo "<td>".$getarray['fname']." ".$getarray['lname']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$getarray['id_sponsor']."</td>" ; echo "<td>Left</td>"; echo "<td>".$getarray['doj']."</td>" ; echo "</tr>"; side_display($array['lchild']); } if(!empty($array['rchild']) && $array['rchild'] != '0') { echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>".($array['rchild'])."</td>"; $get = "SELECT * FROM member WHERE member_id='".$array['rchild']."'"; $execget = mysql_query($get); $getarray = mysql_fetch_array($execget); echo "<td>".$getarray['fname']." ".$getarray['lname']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$getarray['id_sponsor']."</td>" ; echo "<td>Right</td>"; echo "<td>".$getarray['doj']."</td>" ; echo "</tr>"; side_display($array['rchild']); } } How can you use PHP to generate a serial number? e.g. DF34-VB89-98AP-34NQ-QQUI-23AW Please i'm working on a project and i need to write a code that generates a unique random serial number.How can i go about it? Hello, i made a text site, so you can text from a website. i was making a database of the texted numbers and i found that the mysql line is not inserting the correct number, its going to the max php one. Here the code: if (array_key_exists($carrier, $carriers)) { $correctCarrier = $carriers[$carrier]; $i = 0; while($i < $_POST['amount']){ $i++; $formatted_number = $to.$correctCarrier; $result = ("$i of Your Messages Has been sent to the number ". $_POST['to'] . ".<br>" . mail("$formatted_number", "$subject", "$message") . ""); } mysql_query("INSERT INTO `msgssent` (`number`, `numberofmsg`, `subject`, `message`) VALUES (". $_POST['to'] .", '". $i ."', '". $subject ."', '". $message ."')") Or die(mysql_error()); Echo $result; } I need a way to generate a random number and insert into a database, and I need the database to not contain any duplicates of that number. I basically need to generate a RMA # (Return Merchandise Authorization Number), so the numbers absolutely CAN NOT be duplicate. I have no ideas how to go about this. Should I generate a random number, search the database and see if there's a duplicate, and if there is re-run the script? Hi everyone, I have the task of building a PHP page where users can enter or remove as many records as they like into different categories. This then makes the number of records entered unknown, and therefore it becomes more complicated. To make this clearer, I have attached an image of what I am trying to do. Two questions: - Before submitting the form, how can each record entry be matched with the correct category? (maybe hidden form fields somehow?) - What is the best way of inserting each record (and it's associated category) into a MySQL database table from a single form submit? I want to try and keep this as simple as possible as the data will later be updated, removed etc. I'm experiencing a brain fart and just cannot picture the best way of going about this Any help and advice is much appreciated! Thanks in advance. Code: [Select] Basic table schema example... CATEGORY TABLE ---------------------------- | catid | category | ---------------------------- | 1 | Category A | | 2 | Category B | etc. etc. ---------------------------- DATA ENTRY TABLE ---------------------------- dataid | catid | data | -------------------------------- | 1 | 2 | data xyz | | 2 | 1 | data zyx | etc. etc etc. -------------------------------- Hi Guys, I want to go about creating a CMS, that'd cost per license key, however I'm not sure how to go about the checking of the Serial Key. For example, I could have a simple PHP script, that checked for the Serial Key, however they could then just go into a file, and delete that section of the file, which checks for the Serial Key. The reason I want to add a serial key checker, is incase people decide to leak my software, and could use it without paying. Whilst I'm aware they're will be cracks for it, I want to make sure that it'd be a good start. Could anybody please put forward any methods or suggestions? Thanks Guys! Hi all,
I want to send a string of data to serial port. Below is the code. Sdata contains the string. for example "<LT-ON-50>".
<?php exec("mode com3: BAUD=600 PARITY=n DATA=8 STOP=1 to=off dtr=off rts=off"); if (isset($_GET['action'])) { $SData = $_GET['action']; $fp = fopen("com3","w"); fwrite($fp,$SData); fclose($fp); } ?>unfortunately, it will send only one character i.e '<'. the remaining characters will be lost. What could be wrong in the code. Any help can be greatly appreciated. Thanks, This topic has been moved to Third Party PHP Scripts. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=332690.0 I'm getting the dreaded " Invalid parameter number: number of bound variables does not match number of tokens" error and I've looked at this for days. Here is what my table looks like:

Since the id is auto_increment, I do not put that in my sql (though I've tried that too), nor in my params (tried that too). What am I missing? I feel certain it is something small, but I have spent days checking commas, semi-colons and spelling. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Hello,

Edited by danchi, 17 October 2014 - 10:25 AM. I need to display a number(the number is retrieved from the db) in the form input field such that only the last 4 digits is visbile, the remaining can be masked as * or X or whatever is applicable. I know the last 4 can be obtained as follows: Code: [Select] $number=substr($number,-4,4); But when i hit the submit button the form validates the input field and checks if the number is a valid number of a specific format. Therefore when I click on the submit button then I should still be able to unmask the masked numbers or do something similar that would help me validate the whole number. Code: [Select] <input type="text" name="no" value="<?php if(!empty($number)){ echo $number;} ?>"> Hey I have a string that looks like the following: Quote top-php-tutorials-2.html I have a script that cycles through each page. The 2 in the quote above is the page number. How can I extract the number between the - and the .html and replace it with another number? I've tried Code: [Select] substr($engine->selectedcaturl, 0,-6).$v.".html"But then I realised this only works for numbers that are 1 digit long Any input would be appreciated hello, i have a start time and an end time (no dates). the following works great, except for when the start time is at night, and the end time is in the morning. im thinking if i can do an if the number is negative, add 24, that it will resolve my issue. any ideas? Code: [Select] $tbilled = $tfinish - $tstart; How can I insert a url in the body of an mail such that when the user clicks on it return the url string I am still having issues with getting the second part of this function to work right. It inserts fine into the first table but after that it's not performing the second insert.
