PHP - Need Help For Curlinfo_http_code Which Return Code 0 For Url But Url Is Correct

It's pretty simple to see what I am trying to do here. For some reason all results in the table are the same exact cityName replacing all existing records. The echoed results are correct. I've include a small dump of my table as well.

$query = "SELECT cityName FROM sys_city_dev_2";
      $resource = mysqli_query($cxn, $query) or die("MySQL error: " . mysqli_error($cxn) . "<hr>\nQuery: $query");
      
  while($result = mysqli_fetch_assoc($resource)) {

          $nox = $result['cityName'];

          $toUpper = ucfirst($nox);
  echo "$toUpper" . "<br />";

          $setString = "UPDATE sys_city_dev_2 SET cityName = '" . $toUpper ."' WHERE cityName != ''";
          mysqli_query($cxn,$setString);


      } 

100 Records of table dump (pre running my script above):

Here is something i dreamt up, i know there is a way for this to work, but i'm not having any great ideas at this point. I want to be able to auto increment through the $_POST[] array data sent from a PayPal IPN. Sample return data looks like

item_number1=val
item_name1=val

so on and so forth. The idea is: While there are $_POST item_numbers, do something with it. The loop continues until there are no more item_numbers. I don't want to use the static methods eg: explicitly defining item_number1, item_number2, ect. This is what i thought would work, but keeps failing -> the script doesn't enter the first condition:

$x = 1; // set the initial item number
        while(isset($_POST['item_number$x'])){
            $qty = $_POST['quantity$x'];
            while($qty > 0){                
                // step through each item response result, setting each item to paid
                $package_id = $_POST['item_number$x'];    
                update_paid_status($transaction_id, $package_id);
                $qty--;            
            }
            $x++;
        }

Any Ideas?

Hi,

For about a month, I have been trying to figure out why my code will not return anything after posting a wwwForm (I have also tried the newer equivalent of this function but I had no luck with that either.) The nameField and passwordField are taken from text boxes within the game and the code used in my login script is copied and pasted from a Register script but I have changed the file location to the login.php file. The register script works fine and I can add new users to my database but the login script only outputs "Form Sent." and not the "present" that should return when the form is returned and it never gets any further than that point meaning that it lets the user through with no consequence if they use an invalid name because the script never returns an answer. What should I do to fix this?

Thanks,

Unity Code:

using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.Networking;

public class Login : MonoBehaviour
{
    public InputField nameField;
    public InputField passwordField;

    public Button acceptSubmissionButton;

    public void CallLogInCoroutine()
    {
        StartCoroutine(LogIn());
    }

    IEnumerator LogIn()
    {
        WWWForm form = new WWWForm();
        form.AddField("username", nameField.text);
        form.AddField("password", passwordField.text);
        WWW www = new WWW("http://localhost/sqlconnect/login.php", form);
        Debug.Log("Form Sent.");
        yield return www;
        Debug.Log("Present");        if (www.text[0] == '0')
        {
            Debug.Log("Present2");
            DatabaseManager.username = nameField.text;
            DatabaseManager.score = int.Parse(www.text.Split('\t')[1]);
            Debug.Log("Log In Success.");
        }
        else
        {

    // check for successful connection.
    if (mysqli_connect_errno())
        {
            echo "1: Connection failed"; // Error code #1 - connection failed.
            exit();
        }

    {
        echo "7: Illegal Username, Potential SQL Injection Query. Access Denied.";
        exit();
    }

    // check for if the name already exists.

    $namecheckquery = "SELECT username, salt, hash, score FROM players WHERE username='" . $usernameClean . "';";

    $namecheck = mysqli_query($con, $namecheckquery) or die("2: Name check query failed"); // Error code # 2 - name check query failed.

    if (mysqli_num_rows($namecheck) != 1)
    {
    	echo "5: No User With Your Log In Details Were Found Or More Than One User With Your Log In Details Were Found"; // Error code #5 - other than 1 user found with login details
    	exit();
    }

    // get login info from query

Hi,

Is this the correct way to go by setting cookies for my login 'remember' functionality?, I've posted the relevant login and logout code.

Login:

<?php
session_start();

//some code...

if (isset($_POST['remember'])) {

$expire = time() + 1728000; // Expire in 20 days

$site_domain = 'phpfreaks.com'; //example

$_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username']; //don't worry this has been validated :D

$username = $_SESSION['username'];

//some sql query to fetch code..

$code = $row['code'];

setcookie('username', $username, $expire, NULL,  ".$site_domain", NULL, TRUE);

setcookie('code', $code, $expire, NULL, ".$site_domain", NULL, TRUE);

}
?>


Logout:

<?php
session_start();

if (isset($_COOKIE['username'])) {

$expire = time() - 1728000; // Expire in 20 days

$site_domain = 'phpfreaks.com'; //example

$username = $_SESSION['username'];

//some sql query to fetch code..

$code = $row['code'];

setcookie('username', $username, $expire, NULL, ".$site_domain", NULL, TRUE);

setcookie('code', $code, $expire, NULL, ".$site_domain", NULL, TRUE);

}

unset($_SESSION['username']);

$_SESSION = array();

session_destroy();
?>


Please tell me if it looks good to go and/or any improvements.

PS:

I want it accessible on all areas of the domain (including subdomains and paths etc.), and HTTP ONLY (so js can't access it) - I believe I've set the right parems?

Hi,   just joined today. I am using a variable to chose a template dependent on when the user is logged in it shows a search box or not if they haven't. As a php beginner I just want to know if this is the correct method or should I be declaring 'template' somewhere specific. It is only used in this one file.   I hope I've used the code tags correctly...  

 


<php?


 


include_once("login_status.php")


 


 


If(user_login==true){


$template="template_top.php"


 ...web page with search box


}else{


...web page without search box


$template="template_top_NoSearch.php"


}


?>


 


 


 


<html>


<?php include_once($template); ?>


</html>


 

I have using gmdate() to get the GMT time but as it does not take in to account daylight saving the time is one hour behind.

Does anyone have a fix that can work out the correct time what ever time of year it is?

As I am currently having to change the code each time the time changes.

$qID = '';
$question = 'Question not set';
$answerA = 'unchecked';
$answerB = 'unchecked';
$answerC = 'unchecked';
$answerD = 'unchecked';
$answerE = 'unchecked';

I ran to some problems here. After filling every question up with the answers. When i process the form, i only managed to get QID of 20 and the answer of 1st question as my database have only 20questions. How do i go about in solving, so that i'm able to retrieve all result and update my database correctly

      $selected_radio = $_POST['q'];
      
      
      $qID = $_POST['h'];

      echo $selected_radio;
      
      echo $qID;
         
         $SQL = "UPDATE answers SET $selected_radio = $selected_radio + 1 WHERE question_id='$qID'";
         $result = mysql_query($SQL);
         mysql_close();
         print "Thanks for voting!";


?>
THis is my process page, and i echo out the answer to be B and qid as 20.

Hello everyone,

I am new to php and I need a confirmation if this is the correct approach for a code I wrote. Basically, I have a contacts.php page where I have a bootstrap table and a modal with some fields to add a new contact. I managed to write all the code, it works perfect but I want to know if this approach is ok.  The application will be much more complex and I don;t want to start on the wrong foot here. I have 2 files: contacts.php and add_new_contact.php.

First file, contacts.php:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
  <head>
    <!-- ............ -->
   </head>
  <body>
    <!-- ............ here is the page layout-->
    <!-- Then I have my modal from bootstrap -->
    
	<div class="modal fade" id="addContact" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
       <form action = "add_new_contact.php" method="post">
         <!-- .....content with all the inputs -->         
       	<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save to database</button>
    	</form>
    </div>
    
   </body>
</html>
    

Now, in form action I am telling html to go to add_new_contact.php where I wrote the code for inserting all the values to the database. When doing this, it opens the page and it stays blank because there is no html there. So, in that php file I added a redirect code to the initial contacts.php. Here is the code:

Second file: add_new_contact.php:

<?php
	//all the code needed to insert the contact in the database

	header("Location: http//..../contacts.php");
  	exit();
?>

So, this works fine. But is this the best way to do it?

Thank you.

is there anything wrong with this statement: it just won't execute:

session_start();
if ($_SESSION['dstatus']==F) {
header("Location: http://www.orgpict.com/downloadform.php");
exit;
}

What is the correct way to use the backslash here?  I am using an ftp script and retrieving the brand directory name through url.  I want to catch it if they try to use \ in the url to list all directories.

Code: [Select]
elseif($_GET[f]=="\")
{
echo "You have entered an invalid vendor.";

$_SESSION['brand_path'] = "INVALID";
}

i know i have it wrong, cant figure it out.  anybody able to help?

Code: [Select]
  echo "<td align='center'><a href="#" onmouseover="alert('" . $customer . "  <br />  " . $address . "');return false">" . $customer . "</a></td>";

Hello all,
I'm trying to write a joomla page that will import LinkShare banners into the banner component.  The problem I'm having is that LinkShare doesn't seem to always have the correct image size listed.  If I use their dimensions, the images come out skewed and bad looking.
So I'm trying to use getimagesize, to get the real dimensions, and it's still not working.

Please take a look, and let me know if you have any suggestions.
