PHP - Email The Page Function Adds + In Between Each Word

got this function in php.net i guess


function mywordwrap($string)
{
$length = strlen($string);

for ($i=0; $i<=$length; $i=$i+1)
    {
    $char = substr($string, $i, 1);
    if ($char == "<")
        $skip=1;
    elseif ($char == ">")
        $skip=0;
    elseif ($char == " ")
        $wrap=0;

    if ($skip==0)
        $wrap=$wrap+1;

    $returnvar = $returnvar . $char;

    if ($wrap>8) // alter this number to set the maximum word length
        {
        $returnvar = $returnvar . "<wbr>";
        $wrap=0;
        }
    }

return $returnvar;

} 

 
after using this when i try to validate my page in http://validator.w3.org i get this error

Line 124, Column 38: end tag for "wbr" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
  <td width="15%">sdfasdfsdfadfddfdfsafasd<wbr>a</td>
✉
You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

what is the fix for this?

Hello i have a syntax issue in the code below, can anyone shed some light?

Code: [Select]
<?php if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$drop = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['drop_1']);
$tier_two = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Subtype']);
echo "You selected ";
echo $drop." & ".$tier_two;
$Name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["Name"]);
$Phone = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["Phone"]);
$Email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["Email"]);
$Postcode = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["Postcode"]);
$Website = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["Website"]);
if($Name == '' || $Phone == '' || $Email == '' else if (!preg_match('/^[A-Za-z0-9\-.]+$/', $domain)||
$Postcode == '' || $Website == '')
{
die('<br> but you did not complete all of the required fields correctly, please try again');
}
}
the code works fine without the  " else if (!preg_match('/^[A-Za-z0-9\-.]+$/', $domain) " .
As well as checking for blank fields i'd like to check for the correct email format.

Many thanks.

Please would somebody be able to show me or give me some tips as to how I go about getting an email to send in my php code?

$headers = 'From: me@me.com' . "\r\n" .    'Reply-To: me@me.com' . "\r\n" .    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
$first = $_GET['first'];
$last = $_GET['last'];
$town = $_GET['town'];
$telephone = $_GET['telephone'];
$code = $_GET['postcode'];
$shortcode = substr($code,0,2);
$query =mysql_query ("SELECT email FROM treesurgeons WHERE postcode like '%" . $shortcode . "%' ORDER BY companyName LIMIT 3");
echo mysql_error();
echo "<p>The email addresses you have requested are;</p>";
while($ntx=mysql_fetch_row($query)) $nt[] = $ntx[0];
echo "$nt[0]<br>$nt[1]<br>$nt[2]<br>"; 
$message = "$first . $last, from $town has searched for your details.<br>You may contact them on $telephone. <br> Thankyou.";
$subject = "You Showed Up In The Tree Directory!";
$email = "$nt[0],$nt[1],$nt[2]";
$to = "$email";
mail( "$to", "$subject","$message", "$headers");
?></body></html>

I wrote a bunch of code just to realize that there's a huge security hole in my script.

Here's a how I've built it:

1. first you enter the new email address into the input box and click submit
2. an email gets sent to you where you have to click on an activation link to confirm the change, and of course the email gets send to the inbox to make sure it's a valid email
the activation link looks as follows:

Code: [Select]
http://localhost/changeemail_confirm.php?id=$dbuser_id&email=$user_email

The dbuser_id gets taken from the session variable, and the user email is the new entered user email.

3. After clicking the link you get directed to an activation page, I thought about letting the user enter his password and letting it match with the password in the database as added security, so he can't just change the user_id in the link so that the email of another user gets changed.

the query on the activation page looks like this:


"UPDATE user SET email = '$user_email' WHERE nickname = '$dbuser_name' AND WHERE user_id = '$id'";


The $id is being taking from the activation link per GET, and the $dbuser_name is being taking from the session variable.

And now this is the problem where I'm stuck, even though I've added a bunch of security, and even the necessary to enter a password there's still a major security hole, which is the user can easily change the email in the activation link to something else, something that is not a valid email.

E.g.
this

Code: [Select]
http://localhost/changeemail_confirm.php?id=35&email=mail@phpmail.local

can become to this, when the user manually edits the url and pastes it into his browser:

Code: [Select]
http://localhost/changeemail_confirm.php?id=35&email=MAIL@ANYTHING.com

How can I prevent this, is there any way I could tell the script the CONFIRMED and VALID email, with a more secure way?


BTW this script works as it is, it's just that the user can manually change the email to something else what makes this script worthless for now.

Hi,
I need to check is the mail is sent and successfully deliver to the recipient email.
here is the code :
 
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, '-f ' . $return_path))
{echo "Sent"; }else {echo "Not Sent";}

Please help me, its urgent.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I am just starting out in the world of php and have got this far with a lot of googling.  But I'm really stuck with this part now.

I have a function that works perfectly for display on a page, eg <?php echo quickquote(); ?>

function quickquote() {
global $db;
global $cart;
$cart = $_SESSION['cart'];
if ($cart) {
$items = explode(',',$cart);
$contents = array();
foreach ($items as $item) {
$contents[$item] = (isset($contents[$item])) ? $contents[$item] + 1 : 1;
}
$quickquote[] = 'Quote Required:<br />';
foreach ($contents as $id=>$qty) {
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM products WHERE id = '.$id;
$result = $db->query($sql);
$row = $result->fetch();
extract($row);
$quickquote[] = ''.$qty.'';
$quickquote[] = ' x ';
$quickquote[] = '' . $model . '';
$quickquote[] = ' (' . $type . '- ';
$quickquote[] = ''. $basin . '- ';
$quickquote[] = ''. $top . ')';
$quickquote[] = '<br />';
}
$quickquote[] = 'End of Quick Quote Request';
} else {
$quickquote[] = 'The quote cart is empty.';
}
return join('',$quickquote);

}

However, i am trying to include this in an email message:

if(!$error)
{
$messages="From: $email <br>";
$messages.="Name: $name <br>";
$messages.="Email: $email <br>";
$messages.="Phone: $phone <br>";
$messages.="Message: $message <br>";
$messages.="Quick Quote Request: $quickquote <br>";

$mail = mail($to,$subject,$messages,$headers);

The email also works perfectly with the exception that the data is not there from $quickquote.

I've tried all sorts of variations and suggested solutions from the web but nothing I've tried has been successful so far.

It's amazing that I've got this far so I don't want to give up on it, but I'm just completely stumped ...

All information and help very much appreciated.

Cheers

I'm trying to automatically change a math equation so that the solution is an even number:

It is at first complicated but I'm progressing.

This is my first attempt at accomplishing what I'm trying to accomplish.

 if (($sol != round($sol)) && ($x1 < $x2)) {

 
/***********************************************************/
function round_up ($sol, $x1, $op, $x2) {

for ($x1 = $x1; $sol < round($sol); $x1++) {

switch ($op) {

case '+' : $sol = $x1 + $x2; break;

case '-' : $sol = $x1 - $x2; break;

case '*' : $sol = $x1 * $x2; break;

case '/' : $sol = $x1 / $x2; break;

}

}

return (array ($sol, $x1, $op, $x2));

}
/**********************************************************/

$round_array = round_up($sol, $x1, $op, $x2);

echo "after for loop: $round_array[1] $round_array[2] $round_array[3] = and sol: $round_array[0] <br /><br />";

 }


If the solution of the equation is not a round number, and if the first number is smaller than the other, than increase the first number until the solution is a round number.

It is a very primitive solution, but I'm learning as I go and I'll try to make it more intelligent. But to my problem, the above script outputs following values:

Code: [Select]
first calc: 3 / 5 = ?

first sol: 0.6

after for loop: 6 / 5 = and sol: 1

The script will increase the first number about 1 digit more, and that is exactly my problem, since that way the equation makes no sense.

The condition of the for loop is, increase $x1 till $sol is SHORTLY before the next rounded number, when it is has reached the next rounded number STOP.

Thus $x1 should be 5 in the above example, because 5/5 = 1.

IT seems that after $sol has reached the next round number, the for loop will go one more time over the variables, and THEN it will stop.

How can I solve this problem?

>subject.

Why does it do this and how can I fix it?

Example:

I write

<?php
echo"hello world!";
?>
other stuff/html here

After I submit I see this:


<?php
echo"hello world!";
?>
other stuff/html here

1

I'm using Geshi w/ highlight_string

This also happens if I use htmlspecialchars + highlight_string

i wanting users to be able to update there email address and check to see if the new email already exists. if the email is the same as current email ignore the check.
i have no errors showing up but if I enter a email already in the db it still accepts the new email instead of bringing the back the error message.
Code: [Select]
// email enterd from form //
$email=$_POST['email'];


$queryuser=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE inv='$ivn' ") or die (mysql_error());
 while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $queryuser )) {
  $check=$info['email'];
 // gets current email //
}


if($check!=$email){
// if check not equal to $email check the new email address already exists//
$queryuser=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE email='$email' ");
//$result=mysql_query($sql);
$checkuser=mysql_num_rows($queryuser);
if($checkuser != 0)
{
$error= "0";
header('LOCATION:../pages/myprofile.php?id='.$error.'');


}
}

cheers

Hi Guys, i got the PHP and MYSQL for dummies (4th addition) and i am typing up the code examples myself just to gain the experience. Im at the end of the book nearly where it is talking about log in applications that add info to the url but for some reason the code doesn't work. Im using Xampp as a localhost server.

Attached are the two scripts for the program, and below is the include file. I open up the login_url form first:

form_log.inc:

<?php
/*  Program name: form_log.inc
 * Description: Displays a login form
 */

if( isset ( $message ) )
        {
            echo $message;
        }
echo "<form action='$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]' method='POST' style='margin: .5in'>\n
    <p><label for='username' style='font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 1em'>User ID: </label>
        <input type='text' name='user_name' id='user_name' value='$user_name' />\n</p>
    <p><label for='password' style='font-weight: bold'>Password: </label>
        <input type='password' name='password' id='password' value='$password' />\n</p>
    <p><input type='submit' value='Log In'>\n</p>
        <input type='hidden' name='sent' value='yes' />
    </form>\n";
?>




Here are the errors i get:

Warning: include(dbstuff.inc) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/test_php/login_url.php on line 31

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'dbstuff.inc' for inclusion (include_path='.:/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php:/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/pear') in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/test_php/login_url.php on line 31
Couldn't execute query.


Any help would be appreciated thankyou

Enlighten

Can anyone tell me what's making  this code put an extra entry in the database?Whatever the number of looped students being added, it adds another row with nothing but the registrationid entered.

Code: [Select]
<?php
// connect to database 
include("databaseconn.php"); 

// store all posted intemnos and descriptions in local arrays 
$fname = $_POST['fname']; 
$lname = $_POST['lname']; 
$phone = $_POST['phone']; 
$email = $_POST['email']; 
$bdate = $_POST['bdate'];
$bdate2 = $_POST['bdate2'];
$bdate3 = $_POST['bdate3'];
$wid = $_POST['wid']; 
$rid = $_POST['reg_id'];
$reg_alone = $_POST['reg_alone'];

$_SESSION['workshops']=$wid;
?>


<?

if(sizeof($_POST['fname'])) {
// loop through array
$number = count($fname);
for ($i=0; $i<=$number; $i++)
{
    // store a single item number and description in local variables
    $fnames = $fname[$i];
    $lnames = $lname[$i];
    $phones = $phone[$i];
    $emails = $email[$i];
    $bdates = $bdate[$i];
    $bdates2 = $bdate2[$i];
    $bdates3 = $bdate3[$i];
    $wids = $wid[$i];
    $rids = $rid[$i];
echo "echod ".$bdates2."and<br>";
print_r($bdates2);
$query_insertItemWorkshop = "INSERT INTO tbl_attendees (attendee_fname, attendee_lname, attendee_registrationid, workshop_id, attendee_email, attendee_telephone, attendee_bday, attendee_bmonth, attendee_byear) VALUES ('$fnames', '$lnames', '$reg_alone', '$wids', '$emails', '$phones', '$bdates', '$bdates2', '$bdates3')";

echo "query: ".$query_insertItemWorkshop;
$dberror = "";
$ret = mysql_query($query_insertItemWorkshop);




}
}
    ?>

function Clean_String($string)
{
return strtolower(trim(filter_var($string, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING, FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_LOW)));
}

Ive tracked my issue back to filter_var here. For some reason it is adding stuff to the beginning and end of the string im looking for. It did this on 1 string that I noticed and doesnt do it on any others, which was strange because that string was typical like all others. Just a few sentences and numbers and line breaks.

I cant find a reason why this is happening

Hey Guys,

I've got a small script that displays latest news.

It is supposed to show just the title of the news item in a list, however it shows the content at the bottom of the code...
This is my page
<ul>
<?php
        $args= array(
        'news_items' => 500,
        'title' => TRUE,
        'content' => FALSE,
        'before_title' => '<li>',
        'after_title' => '</li>'
   );

jep_latest_news_loop($args);
echo '</ul>';
?> <br>TEST<br>

But this is the output

Any ideas what is dumping the extra code?

Hello, Experts! Need you advice.

Here is the code:

<?php

if ($var == "")  {
        echo "text";
   }
     if ($var == "*")  {
        echo "text"; }
   else if ($var != "")
   {
        
$query = "SELECT * FROM bd WHERE ....."; 
$data = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
       $anymatches=mysql_num_rows($data);
        if ($anymatches != 0) {
       echo "text";
        while($row = mysql_fetch_array($data))
        {
            echo "text";      
        }    
         } 
        if ($anymatches == 0) {      
         $query2 = "SELECT * FROM bd WHERE....."; 
      $data2 = mysql_query($query2) or die(mysql_error());
       $anymatches2=mysql_num_rows($data2);
       if ($anymatches2 != 0) {             
 echo "text"
       else
       {
              
          mysql_query("INSERT INTO notfound (notfound) VALUES ('$var')") or die(mysql_error());    
           } }  } ?>

The last line adds two identical lines to my table. Do I run it twice? Thanks in advance!
