PHP - Post Value Not Evaluating True?

Apart from the fact this can cause an infinite loop is it OK to use?

$user->reset_token = $user->generate_password(32);

// Make sure the token is unique
while(TRUE)
{
$count = ORM::factory('manager')->where('reset_token', '=', $user->reset_token)->count_all();
if($count < 1) break;

$user->reset_token = $user->generate_password(32);
}

Or would you approach the logic for this differently?

Thoughts appreciated. Cheers

Just a silly question.  I've been using 1 and 0 to tell if something is true or false, such as if a feature is enabled or not.  I see that some use the words true and false.  Is there a proper way or is either way correct?  Thanks!

<?php
$id1 = '5' ;
$id = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7);

    foreach($id as $value){
if($id1==$value){
    echo 'One of them matches, ' ;
    echo 'Do not execute command <BR>' ;
} ////// if ends here
} ////// loop ends here

?>   How to do something if all statements are false ? like when id $id1 = '10' , ?

<?php
if('00' == '000')
echo 'weired';
?>


Please consider the code above. Strangely it echoes the word "weired".

Also if('00' == '000000000000000') returns true and so forth.

What is really going on?

Thanks in advance

By the way the php version is 5.3.9 on wampserver 2.2

I have a statement

$account = $_SESSION['account_id'];
$postedby = $account_id;

/*both echo out to the same number*/

if($account == $postedby){
 echo "DELETE BUTTON";
}

i echo'ed out both $account and $postedby and both return 1 but the if statement fails to read as true.

HELP!!!

thanks in advance!

Hey here is my code im trying to redirect  the index.php to index.php?id=1
the way i have done it doesn't look really good is there a better way to do it please?

im trying to redirect to id=1 because otherwise i wont be able to echo out anything...

id 1 is default category so is there a way to tell it if  $id is empty echo from id 1?

<?php   

        $id = $_GET['id']; 
if($id == ''){
echo "<meta http-equiv=Refresh content=0;url=index.php?id=1>";

}
        $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pages WHERE id='$id' ",$connect);
        while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
             {
        echo $row['anything1']; 
        echo $row['anything2']; 
} 
?>

I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out a simple problem.  I've got the following PHP code in an HTML page: 


$shutoff_date = strtotime($wkend_start_date) - 259200; 
if ($shutoff_date > $todays_date) 
{ 
$current_month = date("m");
$current_year = date("y");

$freshman_eligible = 0;
if ($current_month >= 2 && $current_month <=7) {
$freshman_eligible = 1;
}
if ($current_month <= 7) {
$seniors = $current_year ;
}
else {$seniors = $current_year + 1;
}

$juniors = $seniors + 1;
$sophomores = $seniors + 2;
$freshman = $seniors + 3;

echo "HTML Stuff blah, blah, blah";

if ($freshman_eligible = 1) {
echo "<option value=\"$freshman\">$freshman</option>";}
}




The last test to see if $freshman_eligible is equal to 1 is always testing true, and it's actually resetting $freshman_eligible to whatever I put inside the IF statement.  No matter what the variable is set to previously, it will reset to whatever I test for in the last section, and hence always tests true.

I thought maybe it was an issue with scope, but I'm not sure what the issue would be or how to resolve it.


What am I missing???

Hi

Not that often I play with these (and normally just a single font I use).

However I am trying to generate an image with a ttf bit of text on it. No problem using Tuffy.ttf (the normal one I use), but I want to use some arrow characters which it doesn't support.

I have tried using Wingding and Webdings but neither work with GD.

Am I missing something (hopefully something obvious)?

All the best

so im trying this     $file  is not a .txt file   if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && !is_dir("uploads/$fuser/$file")  && (pathinfo("uploads/$fuser/$file", PATHINFO_FILENAME)!= "txt")    i tried this but doesnt work

Hey Guys. I am working with a form that shows the grand total on the checkout page. The value of the grand total is inside a hidden field. When click on  submit, the _POST array doesn't get back the last value of the grand total. I need to hit the button twice to get the last value. The weird thing is when I  echo the value of the grand total it display the latest value, but not with the POST array   For example. If the grand total is $10.00 and I click on submit. It will show the POST['grand_total'] as empty. If I click on submit again it will show the grand total of $10.00. Below is my code that I am working with. Any help would be really appreciated.

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
/* Doesn't show if i put it after if($_POST['submit'] */
if(isset($_POST['grand_total'])) {
echo $_POST['grand_total'];
}

}

//A bunch of other html/php code. Another class calculates the subtotal assigns it the variable $subtotal



$cart_totals = new cartTotals($subtotal, $discounted_amount,$post_values->tip); // Cart class is shown below

/* Doesn't show if i put it before if($_POST['submit'] */
if(isset($_POST['grand_total'])) {
echo $_POST['grand_total'];
}
echo  "<input name='grand_total' type='hidden' value='$cart_totals->grand_total'  />"; // Shows the grand total after second from submission

Hello

Was wanting you know if anyone had come across a method whereby the following occurs:

On editing an existing record pulled back on a form, if a checkbox is change to TRUE (ticked) and then the record is submitted to update the database, then it should also record the date/time in a particular field e.g. 'checkboxupdate'. I already have a general update time/date field but this is updated whenever a record is updated.

I want the new 'checkboxupdate' field to only be updated with the date/time when the submission includes the change to write TRUE to the checkbox field.

As an aside I would need to ensure that the checkbox is read only if the value pulled back from the recordset is true........

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks
Demetri

Hi.

I have a simple change password form, when checked and verified and submitted the user is directed to a different web page. 
I'm getting all the true statements echoed out, but it doesn't go to the go to the next web page.
// Thank you Page
$insertGoTo = "changepass.php";
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));

My thought was ounce you get through the while statement without errors you should be able to move to the next check of the actual database... which it does, and it updates the database with the new values.  It also echos out Continue 6....
echo "True - Continue 6 GO TO HEADER PAGE";

I had some code that I'm pretty sure used to work, basically something like the below.

Code: [Select]
if (preg_match("/[a-zA-Z0-9]+/", $_POST['title'])) {
   echo $_POST['title'];exit();
}
Now i just don't get why it always returns true, even when entering special characters like "!#%?"..

The only thing which comes to mind, is that i recently made a move to UTF-8..
