PHP - User Banning System Ideas.
Hello Friends,
Iam in a little bit confused matter. Iam developing a website & it requires a user's banning system too so my question begin here that if i use user's IP to ban but they can easy access the website by using different proxy sites & almost ip address are dynamic not static. Banning their email is waste thing because they can create a new email within 1min. Anyone have experiences in these things ? How we can ban a user permanently from accessing the website ? Similar TutorialsI'm trying to teach myself how to use functions and includes in my scripts. As an exercise I am trying to create a registration system that I can re-use on other future projects. I have my main register.php page as follows: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <title>Register</title> </head> <body> <?php ini_set('display_errors', 1); ini_set('log_errors', 1); ini_set('error_log', dirname(__FILE__) . '/error_log.txt'); error_reporting(E_ALL); // Check to see if query string is set, if not pass empty array to function. if((!isset($_GET['success'])) && (!isset($_GET['active'])) && (!isset($_GET['valid']))) { include ('registerform.php'); $invalidcode = array(); regform($invalidcode); } //If success is set, use value to determine response if(isset($_GET['success'])) { if($_GET['success'] == "false") { echo "There has been an error with your registration. You will be redirected to the registration page in 5 SECONDS."; echo "<meta http-equiv=refresh content =\"5; URL=index.php\">"; } if($_GET['success'] == "true") { echo "Thanks for registering. An activation email has been sent to your registered email address.<br />"; echo "Please check you email and follow the activation link contained within it."; } } //if active is set, determine response (note: code to be added here in future) if(isset($_GET['active'])) { if($_GET['active'] == "true") { echo "Thank you for activating this account.<br />"; echo "You may now return to the home page and login!"; } } //if valid is set there was a problem with the form validation. //get valid from query string, convert back to an array and pass array to the form display script if(isset($_GET['valid'])) { $invalidcode = $_GET['valid']; $invalidcode = unserialize(urldecode($invalidcode)); include ('registerform.php'); regform($invalidcode); } ?> </body> </html> When the page loads it first checks for any variables passed in the url to determine action. Heres the code for the function regform(): <?php function regform($errors) { //set variables to initial value to prevent undefined variable error $errors0 = 0; $errors1 = 0; $errors2 = 0; $errors3 = 0; $errors4 = 0; $errors5 = 0; $errors6 = 0; $errors7 = 0; //check to make sure the array that was passed was not empty //from my validation script the errors are in matching order to the display on this page. //I have only prepared 2 errors for this inital testing, there will be one for each field on the form. $i = count($errors); if($i > 0){ $errors0 = $errors[0]; $errors1 = $errors[1]; //$errors2 = $errors[2]; //$errors3 = $errors[3]; //$errors4 = $errors[4]; //$errors5 = $errors[5]; //$errors6 = $errors[6]; //$errors7 = $errors[7]; } echo "<form id='register' name='register' method='post' action='doreg.php' >"; echo "<table>"; //if the variable = 1 there was an error validating the field in the validate script if($errors0 == 1){ echo "<tr><td><font color='red'>First Name</font></td><td><input type='text' name='firstname' /></td><tr>"; } else { echo "<tr><td>First Name</td><td><input type='text' name='firstname' /></td><tr>"; } if($errors1 == 1){ echo "<tr><td><font color='red'>Last Name</font></td><td><input type='text' name='lastname' /></td><tr>"; } else { echo "<tr><td>Last Name</td><td><input type='text' name='lastname' /></td><tr>"; } //additional errors to be added, as per abov,e for the code below echo "<tr><td>Email Address</td><td><input type='text' name='email' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td>Password</td><td><input type='password' name='password1' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td>Confirm Password</td><td><input type='password' name='password2' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td></td><td></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td>Accept Terms?</td><td><input type='checkbox' name='accept' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td>Security String</td><td><input type='text' name='secstring' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td></td><td><input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td></td><td><input type='hidden' name='form_submit' value='1' /></td><tr>"; echo "</table>"; echo "</form>"; } ?> So the form takes the array ?valid passed to the register page and determines which fields had a validation error and highlights them red. (I'll modify this highlighting to be what ever I need later...just testing my logic ) The form then calls doreg.php on submit. This will firstly run the validate script, then perform DB actions if all ok, else it will return to register with the error array passed in a query string: <?php if($_POST['form_submit'] == 1) { include ('validate.php'); //the validate script returns $errorarray. Need to figure out better way to test values to determine if any error flags are set if(($errorarray[0]!=0) or ($errorarray[1]!=0) or ($errorarray[2]!=0)) { $errorarray = urlencode(serialize($errorarray)); echo "<meta http-equiv=refresh content=\"0; URL=register.php?valid=$errorarray\">" ; } echo "<meta http-equiv=refresh content=\"0; URL=register.php?success=true\">"; } ?> php] And finally there is the actual validation script. I was hoping to be able to use this for all form validations across the site. I'll just add if(isset) for the various form fields and make sure I standardize my field names across my sites forms. [php] <?php $errorarray = array(); if($_POST['firstname'] == "") { $errorarray[0] = 1; } else {$errorarray[0] = 0; } if($_POST['lastname'] == "") { $errorarray[1] = 1; } else {$errorarray[1] = 0; } if($_POST['email'] == "") { $errorarray[2] = 1; } else {$errorarray[2] = 0; } return $errorarray; ?> For this example I have just done simple empty string checks. I'd really appreciate any advice on the code I've written to date. Im quite sure there are more elegant ways to achieve what these scripts do and I would greatfully accept any feedback. (Be gentle...I'm new ) Thanks Hi I was curious as to if you guys could possibly point me in the right direction so I can learn what is needed in order to implement a system on my website that allows users to login and then I could make only certain users have access to certain pages and etc, I don't have any mysql knowledge at all and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to know that so if anyone could point me in the right direction and put me on on the right track to learning this or a guide I could go off of and see how everything works, I appreciate it. Thanks! CLUEL3SS Okay, well for a site i want to make a user managment system. but i have no idea how to. ive already got the part where you type the user that you want to manage.

I'm trying to make a simple but secure login/user registration for this site I'm building. I'm new to php, so I followed some tutorials from www.newthinktank.com. http://www.newthinktank.com/2011/01/php-security-pt-2/ http://www.newthinktank.com/2011/01/php-security-pt-4-set-up-captcha// http://www.newthinktank.com/2011/01/web-design-and-programming-pt-21-secure-login-script/ But I'm having a couple of problems. On the registration.php file, whenever I type in wrong information, the validation error messages don't display and also whenever I click the submit button, the form doesn't do anything. It doesn't insert information into my database. It just shows the empty form. On my login.php file, again the validation errors don't display and I can't tell if I'm logged in or not. The form redirects to my index page, but the user box that shows the different menus depending on whether or not someone is logged in stays in guest mode. I don't get any php error messages on either file.

The problem is with one particular function and an if statement. The function checks to see if the username and password entered matches the username and password in the database but each time I get it echoing username/password incorrect. the function is Code: [Select] function valid_credentials($user, $pass) { $user = mysql_real_escape_string($user); $pass = sha1($pass); $total = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`user_username`) FROM `users` WHERE `user_username` = '{$user}' AND `user_password` = '{$pass}'"); return (mysql_result($total, 0) == '1') ? true : false; } and the statement is Code: [Select] if (valid_credentials($_POST['username'], $_POST['password']) == false) { $errors = 'Username/Password incorrect.'; } Any help would be greatly appreciated as this has been bugging me for the past 5 days :/ Hi, I have a fully pledged membership system and want to integrate my own user referral system but want some tips, advice really on the logic of it. Basically already registered users on my site will have the option to refer people, only registered users. I will try to explain my logic and what i have done so far. My current registered users table is something like Quote users (table) - id (user id) - email (user email) - password (hash of users password) - reg_date (date user registered) I have some other fields but not relevant to what I want to do and to keep things as simple as possible I left them out. I am thinking of creating a new table called referrals and for example when a registered user on my site from the users table goes to a member only page called referral.php it will display a form so they can enter an email address of someone they want to refer and it also displays the people they referred. My referral table is like this so far and not sure if it's best way to go about the database logics and php logic. my table so far looks like this: Quote referrals (table) - id (auto incremented every time a new referral (row) is added to referrals table) - referrer_uid (id of referrer, this would be the unique id of a registered user from the users table) - referred_email (email address of person who has been referred) - status (when someone is first referred default will be `referred`, if they signup to site via referral link this will update to `completed`) - created_on (date the referral was made, unix timestamp) - updated_on (date the referred person actually clicks the referral link and completes signup) Currently i added the database table above to my site on local. added some sample data for testing and created a referral.php page where there's a form so a registered member can enter a persons email and refer them to my site to signup. On referral.php there is also the total people they referred and a table showing all the people they referred as follows: Referred Email | Referred Date | Status | Completed On Now so far everything is seems fine. I have my sample (pretend referrals i made) data showing in my test account. The part i am now not sure about is this: Obviously to stop abuse i do my usual validation checks like: check to ensure the email being entered on referrals page does not exist in users table (registered member), check to ensure the email has not already been referred previously (for spam reasons) only allowed to refer an email address once and not allowed to refer someone who has previously been referred by someone else to (again for spam reasons) Now onto the tracking the referral and link building. I was first thinking this: on sign up form have a hidden field. The sign up form would do a simple check to see if isset $_GET['ref'] like signup.php?ref=something_here if it is prefill the hidden field, when user then signs up if the ref=something_here matches what's in the database then update referral to complete so the referrer knows that their friend for example signed up via their referral, unix timestamp of when referred person completed signup. Now i was going to use the email address of referred person or username of person who made the referral signup.php?ref=username or signup.php?ref=referred_email . Now what i am thinking is what would be better and i guess stop random abuse is create another column and call it referred_id; this would be a random md5 hash that is unique to that referral and it will be appended to the url like signup.php?ref=md5_hash_here. So my questions a 1) Is there anything you think i should change, improve on, alter etc ? 2) Do you think i am going about it the rite way or making a mess of it ? 3) Have i left anything out that i may have not thought of that could cause the system to be abused ? Any suggestions, feedback, help on the whole logic would be great. I coded allot of it last night and won't take me long to do the rest but need some help in terms of ensuring i am doing it the best way possible etc, the logic behind it all. Thanks for any suggestions, help, advice, tips! PHPFAN Hi Guys, have you got an idea how I can create a user management system with login and pw, please?

Hi All, I am currently struggling with the my user info function which is supposed to display an image on my profile page along with the following parts of information taken from my database. The error is a mysql error stating that the $info = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); is not a valid arguement. Code: [Select] function fetch_user_info($uid) { $uid=(int)$uid; $sql = "SELECT `user_id AS `id` `user_username` AS `username`, `user_firstname` AS `firstname`, `user_lastname` AS `lastname`, `user_email` AS `email`, `user_location` AS `location`, `user_about` AS `about`, `user_gender` AS `gender` FROM `users` WHERE `user_id` = {$uid}"; $result = mysql_query($sql); $info = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $info['avatar'] = "core/user_avatars/{$info['id']}.jpg"; return $info; } I have looked through the code a few times, but I can tell what is wrong. I have included below the profile page code in case it may be an issue there. Code: [Select] <?php include('core/init.inc.php'); $userinfo = fetch_user_info($_GET['uid']); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title><?php echo $userinfo ['username']; ?>'s Profile</title> </head> <body> <div> <?php if($userinfo == false) { echo 'Sorry, the user does not exist.'; } else { ?> <h1><?php echo $userinfo ['firstname']; ?> <?php echo $userinfo ['lastname']; ?></h1> <img src="<?php echo $userinfo['avatar'];?>" alt="avatar"/> <p>Username: <?php echo $userinfo ['username']; ?></p> <p>First Name: <?php echo $userinfo ['firstname']; ?></p> <p>Last Name: <?php echo $userinfo ['lastname']; ?></p> <p>Gender: <?php echo ($userinfo ['gender'] == 1) ?

I would like it so that if the user enters in a correct username + password combination, then they are redirected to a webpage called "congrats.php" for example. However, with my current PHP code, if I include a redirection instruction based on the correct input, then when I run the script, then the user is instantly taken to the congrats.php page without filling in any login details. I'm quite sure that the database has been connected to, as due to the layout of my script at the moment, the text that reads "You did it!" appears 4 times, the same number of rows in my MySQL database. My PHP coding for this is: Code: [Select] <html><head><title>Multi-User Log In Form</title></head> <body> <?php $self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; $username = $_POST['username']; $password = $_POST['password']; ?> <form action = "<?php echo $self; ?>" method = "post"> Username <input type = "text" name = "username" size = "8"> Password <input type = "password" name = "password" size = "8"> <input type = "submit" value="Submit"> </form> <?php $conn = @mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die ("Err: Conn"); $rs = @mysql_select_db("test3", $conn) or die ("Err: Db"); $sql = "select * from users"; $rs = mysql_query($sql, $conn); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)) { $name = $row["uname"]; $pass = $row["pword"]; if ($username = $name && $password = $pass) { //CODE FOR REDIRECTION SHOULD GO HERE //header("location:congrats.php"); echo "You did it!"; } else { echo "Invalid username and password combination"; } } ?></body> </html> Any help in trying to get it so that my PHP script will redirect only if a correct username + password combination is entered would be greatly appreciated Hi everyone... I would like to implement a questionnaire/survey system that has only two Answers (Yes /No). Basically, this questionnaire system will be widely used on Mobile Phones. It will be looking something like this below: http://awardwinningfjords.com/2009/06/16/iphone-style-checkboxes.html Lets say a user selects a response as No (Using the above slider button for a question). That response should be recorded in the database with User Details + Time Stamp. Also, I would like to generate a report for each question (Responses of Multiple Users) and a report at a User Level for the entire questionnaire/survey (s). Can some one guide me the fastest & easiest way to achieve this? I'm a new learner of PHP. Regards Sandeep hello dear PHP-Fans - greetings to you - and a happy new year!! i set up a WAMP-System on my openSuse 11.4 system. In order to learn as much as i can bout PHP i want to do some tests and write some scripts. Well the WAMP is allready up and running. Now i try to give the writing access to the folder mkdir /srv/www/ where the php-scripts should go in... i want to give write permission to all to all files in /srv/www As root I generally: mkdir /srv/www/ chown <webmaster usrername> /srv/www/ /srv/www/ should be readable and traversable by all, but only writeable by it's owner (the user designated as the webmaster.) can i do this like mentioned above,... Love to hear from you greetings db1 Hello everyone I want to know why are these functions discouraged because I have a problem ***************** http://mx.php.net/manual/en/function.spliti.php Warning This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged. ***************** I have a long list of standard features of some products (90 features 1800 products) which I am integrating in a CMS. I have to elaborate a CREATE, READ and MODIFY section for the products and I was thinking of using check boxes and if statements with 90 columns in my DB for each feature. (I hope there is an easier way to do this) Before I typed in all the features in one column and splited it with the previous functions mentioned, but it doesn't work for the modify section of the CMS. I am trying to learn a method in which I can easily integrate this 90 standard features in the CMS. Does anyone has a good idea? Hello Sorry for the lousy title, but was unsure what too call this I am currently writen a small coupon script, my problem is how I can check what member has already claimed a coupon. coupons are generated with simple inserting a new row with details ( name and other info ) to it's own table.

All day I have been wrestling with how to do this. How do I link items to players? How do I keep track of who has what items? I know this question isn't at all specific sorry for that, it's hard to explain exactly what I mean thought text. Thanks Hi,
I would like to generate a constant value that change from a website to website but have an identical value for a single website. For example
$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']doesn't change for a single website, but easy to guess. an other idea is realpath(dirname(__FILE__))but this can change if the web application execute scripts located in sub directories of the main script that use this variable. So what other possibilities to get a constant value that doesn't change ? Thank you. I would like to be able to use this
