PHP - Displaying First 50 Characters Of Field

Okay, I have a field called "created" in my `users` table, and I'd like to be able to view it in-game on an administrator panel. However, it's being captured in a long number format (i.e. 1335076320) which, I believe, has to deal with seconds and such.

How can I take that number and convert it to an actual date/time output?

Here's how I currently have it coded in my php form:


<tr><td width="20%">Registered On:</td><td>{{created}}</td></tr>



So, obviously it's not converting it to any format, rather just pulling that 1335076320 number out.

Thanks in advance!

I'm using mcrypt to encrypt a field and decrypt it.  That works OK.  But when I insert the encrypted field into a mySQL table, select it, decrypt it and try to display it, I get garbage.

What am I missing?  Thanks for any suggestions.

Here's the code:


echo "The encrypt and decrypt example...<br/>";

// Designate string to be encrypted
$string = "Ed O'Reilly";

// Encryption/decryption key
$key = "arG4thaker2";

// Encryption Algorithm
$cipher_alg = MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128;

// Create the initialization vector for added security.
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_get_iv_size($cipher_alg, 
MCRYPT_MODE_ECB), MCRYPT_RAND);

// Output original string
print "Original string: $string <p>";

// Encrypt $string
$encrypted_string = mcrypt_encrypt($cipher_alg, $key, 
$string, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv);

// Convert to hexadecimal and output to browser
print "The encrypted string: ".bin2hex($encrypted_string)."<p>";

$decrypted_string = mcrypt_decrypt($cipher_alg, $key, 
$encrypted_string, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv);

print "The decrypted string: ".rtrim($decrypted_string)."";

echo "<br/>testing db storing & retrieval for the encryption/decryption...<br/>";

# make connection (Game server connections are variable and are done later when needed)
if (!$cxnAdmin = mysqli_connect($hostAdmin, $userAdmin, $passwordAdmin, $dbnameAdmin))
{
die("Could not connect to MySQL server Admin (".mysqli_connect_error().")");
}

$sql="INSERT INTO testdb.nametable (
name,
email
)
VALUES (
'$encrypted_string',
'test@test.com'
)
;
";

$result = mysqli_query($cxnAdmin,$sql);
if($result == false)
{
echo "<h4>Error on nametable Insert: ".mysqli_error($cxnAdmin)."</h4>";
}

$sql="SELECT name
FROM testdb.nametable
WHERE email='test@test.com'";

if (!$result = mysqli_query($cxnAdmin,$sql))
{
echo "<h4>Error on nametable Select: ".mysqli_error($cxnAdmin)."</h4>";
}

$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
extract($row);

// Convert to hexadecimal and output to browser
print "The encrypted string from db: ".bin2hex($name)."<p>";

$decrypted_name = mcrypt_decrypt($cipher_alg, $key, 
$name, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv);

print "The decrypted string from db: ".rtrim($decrypted_name)."";


and here's the output:

The encrypt and decrypt example...
Original string: Ed O'Reilly

The encrypted string: 01bc70f5dc5a7ca204cb45bd2eeb0214

The decrypted string:Ed O'Reilly

This is my first real jump into PHP, I created a small script a few years ago but have not touched it since (or any other programming for that matter), so I'm not sure how to start this.

I need a script that I can run once a day through cron and take the date from one table/filed and insert it into a different table/field, converting the human readable date to a Unix date.

Table Name: Ads
Field: endtime_value (human readable date)

to

Table Name: Node
Field: auto_expire (Converted to Unix time)

Both use a field named "nid" as the key field, so the fields should match each nid field from one table to the next.  Following a tutorial I have been able to insert into a field certain data, but I don't know how to do it so the nid's match and how to convert the human readable date to Unix time.  Thanks in advance!.

Hi:
I'm going crazy trying to do the following:
I'm making a job registration process where the user registers on one php page to the website, must acknowlege and email receipt using an activate php page, then is directed to upload their C.V. (resume) based on the email address they enter in the active page output. I then run an upload page to store the resume in teh MySQL db based on the users email address in the same record.

If I isolate the process of the user registering to the db, it works perfectly.
If I isolate the file upload process into the db, it works perfect.
I simply cannot upload teh file to the existing record based on teh email form field matching the user_email field in the db.
With the processes together, teh user is activated, but teh file is not uploaded.

Maybe I've simply been at this too long today, but am compeled to get through it by end day.
If anyone can help sugest a better way or help me fix this, I will soo greatly appreciate it.

My code is as follows for the 2 pages.

---------activate.php-------
<?php
session_start();
include ('reg_dbc.php');
if (!isset($_GET['usr']) && !isset($_GET['code']) )
{
$msg = "ERROR: The code does not match..";
exit();
}
$rsCode = mysql_query("SELECT activation_code from subscribers where user_email='$_GET[usr]'") or die(mysql_error());
list($acode) = mysql_fetch_array($rsCode);
if ($_GET['code'] == $acode)
{
mysql_query("update subscribers set user_activated=1 where user_email='$_GET[usr]'") or die(mysql_error());
echo "<h3><center>Thank You! This is step 2 of 3. </h3>Your email is confirmed. Please upload your C.V. now to complete step 3.</center>";
} else
{ echo "ERROR: Incorrect activation code... not valid"; }

?>

Code: [Select]
$new_array2=array_diff($my_array,$itemIds);

$updatedb = mysql_query("UPDATE content_type_ads SET field_expire_value = '666' WHERE $new_array2 = field_item_id_value");
"$new_array2" has only 12 digit numbers for each item in the array, and I want to match them to the "field_item_id_value" field in the table, updating the "field_expire_value" field for the record where they match.  I know I am close because the UPDATE code works before I add the WHERE statement (it of course adds '666' to EVERY field, but for a noobie it's a start!).

(Another quite newbie...)
I have already an online booking form. The Form works fine now and I would like to add on one more issue, but the code ignores what I want to check. I have 4 fields: arrival, departure, no. of persons and comments to check.

Scenario 1:

All field mentioned above are emtpty: Workes fine and message appears: "You have not provided any booking details".

Scenario 2:

If arrival (date_start) and departure (date_end) is entered, there should be at least an entry either in the field "comment", or in the field "pax". If not, there should be a message: "You have not provided sufficient booking details".

INSTEAD: The booking request is sent, which should not be the case.

The code is currently:

      # all fields empty : arrival, departure, pax and comments - error

if(empty($data_start) && empty($data_end) && empty($pax)&& empty($comment)){
    exit("You have not specified any booking details to submit to us.
    <br>Please use your browser to go back to the form.
    <br>If you experience problems with this Form, please e-mail us");
    exit;
}
      #If arrival  and departure date is entered, there should be at least an entry

either in the field "comment", or in the field "pax".
      
if(!isset($data_start) && !isset($data_end) && empty($pax) && empty($comment)){
    exit("You have not provided sufficient booking details.
    <br>Please use your browser to go back to the form.
    <br>If you experience problems with this Form, please e-mail us");
    exit;
}

The form can be tested at http://www.phuket-beachvillas.com/contact-own/contact-it.php

Can someone please check and tell me what's wrong with the code ? Thanks to anyone for any hint.

Hi,
I'm developing an app using flash AS2 as the front end via PHP and a mySQL database at the backend on my server.

what i'm looking to do is update/insert into a table called 'cards' and at the same time update/insert into another table called 'jingle'. There is a field called 'cardID' in jingle that should be the same as the ID number created in 'cards' thus creating a link between entries in the different tables that can be called up as i choose.

hope i've been clear i just wouldn't know where to start any help would be appreciated.

MySQL client version: 5.0.91
PHPmyAdmin Version information: 3.2.4


thanks in advance

How should it look if I want to make a query where a field value should be lower than another field?

Code: [Select]
....WHERE total_points<max_points");

Hey guys,

I am a webmaster for my church and I am fairly new to PHP. What am trying to is when a visitor goes to our radio ministry page and clicks a button which the message number is displayed in the read only textbox, it will go to my request CD page and auto populate the message number in that text field form the readonly text field from the previous page. I will show my code for both pages for you to review.



This is the Radio page (where I want to take the message number value from)

I want to be able to keep people from entering certain characters in a form. I've tried google, and had no luck so far. Thanks!

First forgive me, I do not know if this is the correct forum for this question. I did not write the code but I have a feeling if its possible to correct it, then its probably coding.

My question is, is there anyway to post larger News articles to the homepage. I am trying to post an article that a friend sent from another site onto mine (giving the other site proper credit). But the article is apparently too big. I do not know how many characters the article is, or what the character limit is set by Nuke 8.0.

Is there anything that I can do?

Thanks..oh and congrats on apparently being the only active PHP forums :-S I have tried a few others and they haven't made posts since 2011. Anyways thanks in advance for any and all help.

Hi
What code would i use to take the first 2 letters of a post code so for example
CM11 2AY
I want the CM bit what command would strip the first 2 characters out?

Thanks

Hi guys!

I am learning PHP now and I am enjoying it. Im not an I.T. graduate that is why Im having very difficult time to understand  codes.

My problem is how to get the last character of a URL that I get using another php code. I can already post the URL on my page but it displays all the URL of the certain page that I get.

Example: the URL is "http://mysite.com/page_1/pp1/?lang=zh" I only want to get the "?lang=zh". I am working under 3 languages and I want to get only that last part of the URL for me to continue my work. I dont exactly know what string or filtering I will do to get that part only.

Please help me guys. I will appreciate all your comments here.
