PHP - Random Quotes If Statement
Hi im struggling to find out how to get an if statement working with my random quote creator, here is the coding:
Code: [Select] <?php include 'connect.php'; session_start(); $username = $_SESSION['loginusername']; $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM boxerinfo WHERE fighterrequest = '$username'"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $quotes[] = 'Go ahead, bite the big apple, don\'t mind the maggots, uh huh.'; $quotes[] = 'Happiness is a warm gun. (bang-bang, shoot-shoot.)'; $quotes[] = 'You may be a lover but you ain\'t no dancer.'; $quotes[] = 'Yeah you got lucky, babe. When I found you.'; $quotes[] = 'Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals.'; $quotes[] = 'You go back, jack, do it again. Wheel turnin\' round and round.'; $quotes[] = 'Don\'t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.'; $quotes[] = 'Lord I\'m learning so much more, than back when I knew it all.'; $quotes[] = 'You get too much you get too high. Not enough and you\'re gonna die.'; $quotes[] = 'You were wrong when you said, \'everything was gonna be alright.\''; $quotes[] = 'I know just what you need. I might just have the thing.'; $quotes[] = 'I am hot, and when I\'m not, I\'m cold as ice.'; $random_number = rand(0,count($quotes)-1); echo $quotes[$random_number]; } ?> I just want if $quotes = (a certain quote) then insert into mysql table, anyone know how to do this on an array? thanks Similar Tutorialshow do i handle single quotes in sql query Code: [Select] " SELECT name from phrase WHERE name='$stitle' ";this returns an error because the name contains single quotes like this: Johnson's. This code only works in firefox <a onMouseout='hidetooltip()' onMouseover='tooltip(\"<img src=img/heroes/$hero.gif\")' href='hero.php?hero=$hero'>Text</a> Btw, I use this in echo (php). How to get quotes (triple) on <img src= ? I also have tried <img src='img/heroes/$hero.gif' But only works on FireFox Hello, I have been using a random text script to display a useful tip to the user when they land on a certain page. This is how the script looks: Code: [Select] <?php $random_text = array("This is an example tip", "This is another example of a tip", "And another...", "And one more"); $sizeof = count($random_text); $random = (rand()%$sizeof); print("$random_text[$random]"); ?> At the moment the tip will display randomly everytime the page is loaded. Is there any way I can add a small button that says "Give me another" or something, so that when they click it another random fact will come out? If possible I would like to avoid them having to reload the page everytime. Any help is greatly appreciated. Quotation marks are confusing me.
What do you guys use when it comes to quotation marks?
In HTML attributes and throughout the bodies of my web pages, I use the HTML entity ("). For example:
<a href="" title="Read "Article Name""> <p>In his new book, he says: "This is a quote."</p>I thought that this is the best practice. However, today, I read that it's perfectly safe to use straight quotes (") in the body, and that I should use the HTML entity only in HTML attributes. Is that correct? But what if I want to use curly quotes in the body instead of straight quotes? Should I always use the HTML entities for curly quotes (“ and ”), or can I also safely use the characters (“”)? I heard that straight quotes are safe in all browsers, even if you don't specify the character set of your web pages, but that curly quotes are only safe if you specify the character set or if you use the HTML entities. Is that true? And what about the <q> tag? Apparently, it's compatible with all browsers but they treat it differently. Edited by Fluoresce, 30 August 2014 - 07:37 AM. The fancy-looking quotes won't insert into my DB, so I'm trying to convert them to %93 & %94 or normal quotes.
Nothing I've tried works.
Code:
$fancy=" “test” "; $fixed=htmlentities($old, ENT_QUOTES); echo "fancy: $fancy<br>"; echo "fixed: $fixed"; Results: fancy: “test” fixed: I want $fixed to be %93test%94, or even "test" would work.

It has not been made 100% clear to me as to when I should use single quotes, double quotes, and {}. From what I gather you use single quotes for literal interpretation... so if you put something like a variable in single quotes and echoed it, it would literally echo it as it is written and not the value of the variable. in double quotes, I gather that it will echo the value of the variable. as for {} I am unclear as to when to use the curly brackets for a variable. I am assuming if you had a statement in single quotes and you put a variable in curly brackets you would get the value of the variable?
Edited by LazerOrca, 25 November 2014 - 11:20 PM. There are about 400 records in a database with a field zabp_package = T_SIMT. They were uploaded in an order where specific category lists were uploaded together. For example, first 100 dining, then 75 insurance, then 150 health, then 75 cars. So from an auto increment standpoint they were inserted in that order. I want to select at random 100 of these 400 and update two fields. My update statement is: update `usersOld` SET `m_org` = 'ZABP.org Corporate HQ' , `m_orgID` = 'PFL2a96bW' WHERE `zabp_package` = 'T_SIMT' This works for all, I just need to limit a random selection to 100. Any Help on this, thanks in advance. I don't think I've asked this before have I?? can someone give me an internet KB that gives me all scenarios that warrant using singles or doubles? as in, wrapping values, variables, and why I need to do either, and when, etc, etc....? thanks Edited March 29 by ajetrumpetA problem has arisen which puzzles me. I have forms which save data to MySql and retrieve it, showing it as the default data in the form. Naturally I escape any quotes before sending it to the database and remove the slashes when I retrieve it. But the form HTML code shows the data like this value="$variable" which is fine when only single quotes are used in the data but causes a problem when the user uses double quotes. So data of John \"Jack\" Smith would be output as value="John "Jack" Smith" with obvious problems. If I use value='...' then that would cause problems with single quotes. I haven't seen the answer in any of my books. The only things I can think of is changing all double quotes to single before saving to DB or converting them with htmlspecialcharacters so they are no longer actual quotes. As above, I have a lottery style site that picks a random number between 1-8 but my users complain for some reason that this is not enough. So i was told to look into using fopen and random.org to generate a random number. Anyone have experience of this and perhaps a code snippet for me to look at and possibly use? help will be appreciated. Hello, Using the following code, I'm extracting the $current_solution from my database. However, if the variable has quotes in it, I get gobbledegook. Code: [Select] <input type ="radio" name="solution" <?php echo 'value="' . $current_solution . '"' ?> id="solution" <?php if ($row['solution'] == $current_solution) {echo 'checked = "yes"';} ?>/><?php echo$current_solution; ?></label> As an example, if the $current_solution variable is: A right-side up letter u then I get: " id="solution" checked = "yes"/> A right-side up letter "u". I know that it's a quote issue but am not sure how to fix it. I tried adding slashes but I fear that it didn't work. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated! Thanks so much, Eric Hi... I'm trying to get this code to work: echo "<a href='". $row['img_path']."'><img border=0 src='". $row['thumb_bw_path']."' onmouseover='this.src='". $row['thumb_path']."'' onmouseout='this.src='". $row['thumb_bw_path']."'' />". "</a></td> \n"; To get the hover effect that i want there is alot of quotes. The hover effect does not work and i guess it is because of the wrong use of quotes. The correct way is: Code: [Select] onmouseover="this.src='source_to_image'" But the use of double quotes " is not possible... Is there a simple solution to this? My old server had magic_quotes_gpc turned on. My new one does not. Will mysql_real_escape_string solve all the issues that magic_quotes was used for? My site runs a blogging application and it seems some of the templates which contain a lot of html and css do not insert into the database properly even when using mysql_real_escape_string. Thanks, Brian Hi, newbie here. Could someone show me how to properly escape the quotes in this code so it works properly? I'm having major problems with it, thanks. echo "<td style="background-color:#fff" onMouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#ff9900';" onMouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#fff';">" So, I think you have all heard the news. THEY ARE GONE! Unfortunately, I do have some old code that I do not feel like going line by line and updating. I was wounding if you guys could help me out. I was hoping that there would be a way to set a define of some sort then when I grab something out of an SQL table it will automatically takeout the "\" (Slashes) and when I insert something into the database it will add the slashes... YES I know and have read the statement written by the php group [http://www.php.net/manual/en/securit...uotes.why.php] But i do not particularly want to go through my code and change everything by hand. If you have any idea, or would like me to explain it another way, please post. Any help will be greatly appreciated. --redcrusher Alright, I've troubleshooted for about an hour on this and still can't figure it out, I've got the following line of code: Code: [Select] $newstring = '$search = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cmscbesalke.game where gameTitle = '".$gametitle."'");'; that is giving the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '"' in /home/content/06/8675706/html/edit.game.php on line 136 I've tried to do the following as well: Escaping the ", adding in extra . operators, and removing quotes. The complicated part here is that I need the fwrite to write the $gametitle variable, with single quotes around it that way the mysql_query will return the correct database entry, but everytime I get the line of code to work it does not put the quotes. I'm trying to figure out why it won't display the quote(s) for the selected person. I echoed the query and it's getting the correct id its just not displaying correctly. Any ideas? function getQuotes($id) { $id=mysql_real_escape_string($id); $sql = "SELECT * FROM `efed_bio_quotes` WHERE bio_id = '$id'"; $re = mysql_query($sql); $i = 0; $quotes = array(); $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($re); extract($row); ?> <ul id="quotes"> <?php if(count($quotes) > 0){ for($i = 0; $i < count($quotes); $i++){ echo "<li>".$quotes[$i]."</li>"; } } else{ echo '<li>This wrestler has no quotes.</li>'; } ?> </ul> <?php } i have some code which checks to see if a username and an email is in use. from what i can understand, it uses magic quotes to prevent sql injection. i've heard that magic quotes are not going to be in use in php6, so how can i change it so that it uses real escape string instead? if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $_POST['username'] = addslashes($_POST['username']); } $usercheck = $_POST['username']; $check = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE username = '$usercheck'") or die(mysql_error()); $check2 = mysql_num_rows($check); if ($check2 != 0) { die('Sorry, the username '.$_POST['username'].' is already in use.'); } if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $_POST['email'] = addslashes($_POST['email']); } $emailcheck = $_POST['email']; $check = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM users WHERE email = '$emailcheck'") or die(mysql_error()); $check2 = mysql_num_rows($check); if ($check2 != 0) { die('Sorry, the email '.$_POST['email'].' is already registered to another account.'); } Thanks If I put into the database this string: Call the wife's son tomorrow How do I put it in to keep that apostrohe (wife's) and then when I retrieve it, also keep it without it displaying as wife/'s If I use stripslashes I think that just gets rid of the slash, but I want to KEEP the slash (but still protecting the database so it is not seen as a quote by the php code). I hope this is clear :-) |
