PHP - Setup Vanity Url For Own Domain?

Hi Guys, 

Just in the process of learning PHP and I am wandering if I need to learn more when finished to complete a certain process. 

I apologise if this explanation is pretty naff but I cant think of how to word it, but here goes: 

So what I am looking at doing with a script is creating a place to display information about games, 

So what I am thinking is there will be a backend where I can kind of add a new game then inside there I can add news articles, videos, images etc. 

The one thing I cant wrap my head around is if I were to display like trophies for the games like the PS4 trophies, how this would work. 

So I imaging the backend to be like 'add a game button' then when I click that I get a setup page where I can enter the title, developer, age rating and so on. With the trophies obviously what I am thinking is a text are that will say how many trophies does the game have? 

So in there I enter let's say 20 then this will add me 20 slots in which I can enter the trophy title, description and points. So my question is when you are creating a form like this where it works off an action like me entering 20 and it producing 20 slots can all this be done with PHP or do I need to be using other code also? 

Hope that explanation is decent enough. 

Huge thank you for any advice in advance. 

Apache https setup!   Okay so i made my own SSL certificate for my localhost using these commands   OpenSSL: ( CMD > c:\xampp\apache\bin\openssl )

req -config c:\xampp\php\extras\ssl\openssl.cnf -new -out jobnow.csr -keyout jobnow.pem
rsa -in jobnow.pem -out c:\jobnow.key
x509 -in jobnow.csr -out jobnow.crt -req -signkey c:\jobnow.key -days 369

when asked for common name type your ip address.    Then i install import the certificate to certmgr.msc   Restate Apache   https//192.168.0.14   - Doesnt work 192.168.0.14 - Works fine   Apache error log:

Okay, I am going to try to explain this the best I can, I appreciate and thank you for your help in advance!

Okay, this is what I am wanting to do. I want to create a user area on my website. I don't need a common page that every user see's but each user to have there own unique page that they are brought to once they log-in, where they will have there own content that I will change and update often.

As for the usernames and passwords, I will be creating these when needed and giving them to the corresponding user, so I am not in need of a registration option. I am needing assistance on how to setup the MySQL database and the PHP coding for this. Remember, I am going to need to be able to add new users w/ passwords when needed.

Thanks for your help!

$survey = $_REQUEST['survey'];
$earn = $_REQUEST['earn'];
$pdtshow = $_REQUEST['pdtshow'];

//$query_getuserid = mysql_query("SELECT id from members WHERE username= '".$subid."'") or die(mysql_error());
//foreach(mysql_fetch_array($query_getuserid) as $userid);

$query_checkRef = mysql_query("SELECT referral_ID from members WHERE username= '".$subid."'") or die(mysql_error());
foreach(mysql_fetch_array($query_checkRef) as $ref_id_user);
if ($ref_id_user>=1)
{
mysql_query("UPDATE members SET points=points+".$pdtshow." WHERE username='".$subid."'");
mysql_query("UPDATE members SET completed_surveys=completed_surveys+1 WHERE username ='".$subid."'");
mysql_query("UPDATE members SET points=points+".$refer_points." WHERE id ='".$ref_id_user."'");
mysql_close();
echo "Success: ".$subid." earned ".$pdtshow." points\n and is referred by".$ref_id_user;
}else {
mysql_query("UPDATE members SET points=points+".$pdtshow." WHERE username='".$subid."'");
mysql_query("UPDATE members SET completed_surveys=completed_surveys+1 WHERE username ='".$subid."'");
mysql_close();
echo "Success: ".$subid." earned ".$pdtshow." points\n and is referred by nobody";
}

Ok im only new to PHP and Im trying to setup my own porfolio website using PHP,CSS,HTML5 and other bits. Iv downloaded WAMP and im tryin to get my website workin offline first.

Well im just trying to get a section in my site in the top right corner for a login and register area similar to this website (membership section) iv bein following some online video tuts and completed them right but Im not sure how to integrate it into my existing home page,/ index.html page.

I want to have it so that it says login or registered and it works through php. all the tuts I followed seem to have this done on one index.php page and im getting confused as to how I can have a small section on my home page just for registering if yano what I mean.....

Maybe its a silly question....im still learning....Any help be gratefull

I've got PHP setup on Ubuntu with MySQL. I've got sendmail installed but for some reason I can't get mail() to work. Does anyone have good guidelines for getting this setup properly?

I've played around with CakePHP, then XCrud (a decent CRUD application) but I gave up on both of them, XCrud was great for everything up until it came to managing complicated relational database tables. Anyhow, I'm using wordpress a lot now cuz it lets me stop reinventing the wheel so much and although I was able to integrate XCrud into WordPress as a plugin, I think the best way to go is just transfer my database tables to WordPress tables and display them as custom post types. My time is really limited right now though, is there a plugin/set of plugins I can use to automate the process? To show you what I mean, heres the XCrud list display of one of the tables:   thats great because it automatically sets up the CRUD thing and lets you add and edit fields to the table, and doesn't heavily box you into their system but I have a table of plants, one for products, one for pharmacology, one for categories which are all related to each other, and some of them are structured in a tree/nested hierarchy structure so long story short, I need to do advanced searches based on these relations and handle these tree structured tables and CakePHP didn't work out, and XCrud has crappy documentation and isn't popular enough to find good info.   So how would you go about transfering this system to WordPress? I'm guessing I need to make custom post types for each table but what I don't yet know is how to transfer the DB tables to WordPress format, how to handle the relationships between each table and how to handle the hierarchical tree structures.

I'm creating a social network for a friend and I need to make a flash webcam to talk to another flash webcam. I have all the flash code working, now all I need is a way to let users match themselves up to each other without other users being able to barge in. What areas of php do I need to learn about to do this?

Been looking to see if anyone has published something like this.

I have a number of projects coming up which entail creating input form pages using PHP.  Some of these are quite large as to the number of entries, pages etc.. and the worst part is that I know in advance that they most likely will want to change/add to the form after I am done.

So rather than coding them physically in the code, I want to define the form elements in an array that I can store in a database/flat file and when the page loads, read from the array to construct the form output.

I don't have any issues with dealing with the database or even using arrays, but I have not been able to come up with an array setup that works.

Has anyone done this and would care to share the structure they used.

Everything that I find on the net is basically sites that want to host the form, but this will be in a non-Internet accessible site so that is not an option. 

Being fresh to PHP I installed PHPMailer (Not sure how to install classes so what I did is I dropped the PHPMailer files into my PEAR folder since that's where all my extensions are being sent to in XAMPP). Then I ran a basic script to send email via PHPMailer using the functions offered by PHPMailer instead of Mail() (of course) but when I do that and execute my code by going to localhost my Firefox will just display my PHP code right back at me.

hello  dear php-friends

i currently work on a little parser project


i have to find solutions for the

a. fetching part
b. parser part


here we go - the target urls:

see the overview:  http://dms-schule.bildung.hessen.de/index.html
http://dms-schule.bildung.hessen.de/suchen/suche_schul_db.html
Search by pressing the button "type" and then choose all schools with the mouse!
Results 2400 schools
Here i can provide some "more help for getting the target!" -


btw: see some details for this target-server:
http://dms-schule.bildung.hessen.de/suchen/suche_schul_db.html?show_school=9009
http://dms-schule.bildung.hessen.de/suchen/suche_schul_db.html?show_school=9742
http://dms-schule.bildung.hessen.de/suchen/suche_schul_db.html?show_school=9871



well - you see i have to itterate over the sites - with a function /(a loop)
http://dms-schule.bildung.hessen.de/suchen/suche_schul_db.html?show_school=1000 to 10000

BTW - after fetching the page i have to see which one are empty - those ones do not need to be parsed!


Well - i want to do this with curl-multi since this is the most advanced way to do this:

I see i have an array that can be filled -... but i have to think about the string-concatenation - i guess that i have make some sophisticated string concatenation.

this one does not fit -


for($i=1;$i<=$match[1];$i++)
{
 $url = "http://www.example.com/page?page={$i}";



and besides this i have an array - i c an fill the array.

can you help me how to run in a loop with

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good way to query domain name availability with php?

Hi,

I am trying to see if the domain name in the string is in an array.

eg;

Code: [Select]
mystring='http://google.com/somethingelse';

myarray[]='google.com';
myarray[]='anotherdomain.com';
in this case return TRUE

Code: [Select]
mystring='http://phpfreaks.com/adir';

myarray[]='google.com';
myarray[]='anotherdomain.com';

in this case return FALSE

How would I do this?

Thanks,

-mme
