PHP - Username Avaliability Checker Keeps Returning 'taken'.
Hey guys, I have this little script, but it doesn't seem to work properly.
<?php mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); mysql_select_db("chat"); $user = strip_tags(trim($_REQUEST['username'])); if(strlen($user) <= 0) { echo json_encode(array('code' => -1,'result' => 'Invalid username, please try again.')); die; } // Query database to check if the username is available $query = "Select * from users where username = '$user' "; $result = mysql_query($query); $avaliable = mysql_num_rows($result); // Execute the above query using your own script and if it return you the // result (row) we should return negative, else a success message. //$available = true; if($available) { echo json_encode(array('code' => 1,'result' => "Success,username $user is still available")); die; } else { echo json_encode(array('code' => 0,'result' => "Sorry but username $user is already taken.")); die; } die; ?> It keeps returning with 'Sorry but username iunsdbsyusaddssd763b373b is already taken'. Even when I type in some random gibberish like 'iunsdbsyusaddssd763b373b' Can anyone show me why it is doing that? Thanks alot friends. Similar Tutorials
Using Inline Php; <h1><font Color="000088">the Username <?php '.$username.' ?> Already Exists";</h1>
ISSUE. A User enters information into a form. If the 'username' is already taken, a 'message' in Red and with larger font-size will be returned, for example, "The username $username already exists." If the username is 'mattd' then the message should say, "The username mattd already exists." Within my php application, I have included 'inline html'. Here is part of the code: .... if (mysql_num_rows($query_run)==1) { // it will never = more than one because only //one user will or will not exist ?> <html> </body> <h1><font color="#FF0066">The username <?php echo $username; ?>already exists.</h1> </body> </html> <?php }else{ //start the registration process $query = "INSERT INTO `Names` VALUES .... 1. At one point I did get this: "The username mattd already exists." 2. But now I only get "The username already exists." I am not retrieving the $username variable.

Or is this best handled later on, when the name is being used and called from the DB.

Hi I am new to php, I am trying to capture the url and place into a variable but I only get the 1st digit to show, I just cant see what I am doing wrong.

Hello friends, I've tried to search over the Internet but didn't found any tutorial how to do the following :- let say we have form with input username and input email just 2 field HTML Code Code: [Select] <form> <table> <tr> <td>Username :</td> <td><input id="username" size="20" type="text" name="username"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Email :</td> <td><input id="email" size="20" type="text" name="email"></td> </tr> </table> </form> As you can see no submit button cause we will only check out if username and/or email is not stored already, by using ajax My problem : i can only check out for username (1 field) but i can not check for 2 fields or more and i want to know how to apply it for 2 fields (username and email) Here is my idea for only one field (username) I'll add in the HTML code this Code: [Select] <td><div id="status"></div></td> and will add this java code Code: [Select] <SCRIPT type="text/javascript"> pic1 = new Image(16, 16); pic1.src = "loader.gif"; $(document).ready(function(){ $("#username").change(function() { var usr = $("#username").val(); if(usr.length >= 4) { $("#status").html('<img src="loader.gif" align="absmiddle"> Checking availability...'); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "check.php", data: "username="+ usr, success: function(msg){ $("#status").ajaxComplete(function(event, request, settings){ if(msg == 'OK') { $("#username").removeClass('object_error'); $("#username").addClass("object_ok"); $(this).html(' <img src="tick.gif" align="absmiddle">'); } else { $("#username").removeClass('object_ok'); $("#username").addClass("object_error"); $(this).html(msg); } }); } }); } else { $("#status").html('<font color="red">The username should have at least <strong>4</strong> characters.</font>'); $("#username").removeClass('object_ok'); $("#username").addClass("object_error"); } }); }); </SCRIPT> Explain : it will get the input of username and will send it to check.php Now check.php code (should have all usernames that will compare with it) Code: [Select] <?php if(isSet($_POST['username'])) { $usernames = array('john','michael','terry', 'steve', 'donald'); $username = $_POST['username']; if(in_array($username, $usernames)) { echo '<font color="red">The username<STRONG>'.$username.'</STRONG> is already in use.</font>'; } else { echo 'OK'; } } ?> Now it is very clear , if will automatic check the username now my problem is how to apply it for also email Any body here who can help me to make a plagiarism checker in php? that can accurately get the site of the content that is copied from internet. thanks in advance. godbless.

As you can see it checks if the ports are open. It worked perfectly and I didn't have any issues with it at all. Now, for a couple of days, I've been using an awardspace paid hosting, bought a domain name. I use wordpress now, and I pasted this code directly in a PHP/HTML code box (I use a plugin that enables use of PHP) and it shows the HTML formatting how it should be, but unfortunately doesn't work as intended. It shows everything to be down, while apache, mysql and my ftp server are still running on my computer (the IP it checks, 212.233.xxx.xxx). When I set the IP to be 127.0.0.1, the IP of the awardspace server as far as my script is concerned, it shows only that the IP is working. So, any suggestions? Any idea would be greatly appreciated I am trying to make a Server Status checker that uses a image to tell if it is online or not. I also am trying to make it so you can the URL as a image code(EX: http://Http://domain.com/statuscheck.php?ip=google.com&port=80). What I'm trying to say it, that if you do like <img src="http://Http://domain.com/statuscheck.php?ip=google.com&port=80"> it would go to my site, use the php script, and then have the image Online or Offline, were the <img> code was posted. Here's my code Im trying to make it from. <?php $ip="{$_GET['ip']}"; $port="{$_GET['port']}"; if(!$sock=@fsockopen($ip,"$port", $num, $error, 5)) { Header('Content-type: image/png'); echo"<img src='images/offline.png'>"; } else { Header('Content-type: image/png'); echo"<img src='images/online.png'>"; } ?> This topic has been moved to Miscellaneous. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=357042.0 Alright, I have created a hash password checker and here is my code: include("include.php"); // include the mySQL info! $users = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM User "); // Select all from the users table in the database! while($row = mysql_fetch_array($users)) // While it fetches the users do the following... { if (hash("sha256", $password) == $row["Password"]) echo "Congratulations!

Hello, I am trying to get this backlink checker to work i have it working so it checks that the link itself matches and is there but this is the harder part that I don't understand. I want to have it also check the nodeValue to make sure that it matches one of the nodeValue's from a mysql table this is the code I have to make it check the href link Code: [Select] function CheckForTargetUrl($links, $target) { foreach ($links as $link) { if (strpos($link, $target) !== false) { return true; } } return false; } function ExtractHrefLinks($html) { $dom = new DOMDocument; $linkUrls = array(); @$dom->loadHTML($html); $links = $dom->getElementsByTagName('a'); foreach ($links as $link){ $linkUrls[] = $link->getAttribute('href'); } return $linkUrls; } function backlink_check($contenturl){ $url = 'businessinvestingsource.com'; $source = $contenturl; $falseFound = false; $html = file_get_contents ( $source ); $links = ExtractHrefLinks($html); if (CheckForTargetUrl($links, $url) === false) { $falseFound = "true"; $reportArray[$source] = 0; } else { $falseFound = "false"; } return $falseFound; } Now this all works fine, I just need it to check the actual nodeValue (anchor text as well) meaning check this: <a href="http://google.com">Google</a> There is a mysql table called "allowed_anchors" with 2 rows "id" and "anchor" I need it to check if the nodeValue matches 1 of the allowed_anchors from the table. If anyone knows how I can do this that would be very great i have been trying to figure it out for hours with no luck. Thanks very much for any help to come. I want to accomplish two things: save some server overhead and create a friendlier user experience. Thus, prior to form submission, the user should have the opportunity to check whether the chosen username is available. As I've begun researching the topic, I've discovered AJAX, Vue, and XMLHttpRequest alternatives.
Any suggestions and alternatives that would give me guidance would be appreciated.
Additionally, are there any characters that should be expressly prohibited from use in a username (or other input field) that could aid malicious hackers in causing harm to my website, database, and files?
Hi, I used to use the php session to get the username of the user that was logged on and use that variable on our intranet. Recently we are having to redevelop the site, and we can no longer use this variable. Is there another way of getting the username of the user who is logged onto the computer? Thanks in Advance, Stuart Hi! I want to add the users nickname to the urlcode. I don't have any clue how to :O And maybe add more text after the url www.url.comTEXTusername echo $row["url"];$row["username"]; Please help How to show the username of the person who uploaded something? I know how to make the upload script etc. but what is the script needed for the person's username and where do I put it? Thanks. Here's the class Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); class Train { private $_clicked; private $_name; function __construct() { $this->_name = (string) $_SESSION['nrpgusername']; $this->_clicked = (int) $_SESSION['clicked']; } public function CheckLogged() { if(isset($this->_name)) {} else{die("you must be logged in!");} } public function CheckClicked() { if(isset($_POST['go'])) { $this->MysqlUpdate(); $this->_clicked = 1; session_set_cookie_params(84600); } } public function Clicked() { if(isset($this->_clicked)) { echo' <div id="train"><img src="images/train.jpg" alt="train image"/></div> <div id="text"> <span id="click">' . $this->_name. ' has gained 7 experience,<br /> and cannot train anymore today. </span><form method ="post" name="train" action=""> </div>'; } else { echo' <div id="train"><img src="images/train.jpg" alt="train image"/></div> <div id="text"><span id="click">Click here to train your shinobi!</span> <form method ="post" name="train" action=""><input type="submit" name="go" value="train" /></div>';} } private function MysqlUpdate() { include("database.php"); $query = "UPDATE account_info SET experience = experience + 7 WHERE username = '$this->name'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); } } ?> For some reason, it's showing 1 has gained 7 experience, and cannot train anymore today. Instead of Tony has gained 7 experience, and cannot train anymore today. Hi, I used to be able to get the username of the user who was loggd onto the computer and use that as a session variable, so when they are on the intranet, they need not to add any data. The code I used to use was Code: [Select] $logon_name = basename($_SERVER['AUTH_USER']); Since I updated the webserver and put an up-to-date version of PHP on this no longer works. If you have any ideas, such as maybe using Javascript to get this variable and passing it to PHP... Your help is appreciated.
