PHP - How Does This Symbol Work }
I'm a little confused exactly on how using this } works
going to be hard to explain what im having problems with. I'm using JEdit for my editor and I notice if I click on one of these { it will put a box around where it ends there is 4 } at the bottom of the code by them selfs "on their own lines" and 2 in the middle by them selfs "on their own lines how does the code know which ones belong to which { appreicate any help in helping me understand this thanks this code is from a tutor online Code: [Select] <? include_once("connect.php"); ?> <html> <body> <?php if(isset($_POST['Login'])) { if(!preg_match('/^[A-Za-z0-9]{5,20}$/',$_POST['Username'])){ // before we fetch anything from the database we want to see if the user name is in the correct format. echo "Invalid Username."; }else{ $query = "SELECT password,id,login_ip FROM users WHERE name='".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Username'])."'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); // Search the database and get the password, id, and login ip that belongs to the name in the username field. if(empty($row['id'])){ // check if the id exist and it isn't blank. echo "Account doesn't exist."; }else{ if(md5($_POST['password']) != $row['password']){ // if the account does exist this is matching the password with the password typed in the password field. notice to read the md5 hash we need to use the md5 function. echo "Your password is incorrect."; }else{ if(empty($row['login_ip'])){ // checks to see if the login ip has an ip already $row['login_ip'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; }else{ $ip_information = explode("-", $row['login_ip']); // if the ip is different from the ip that is on the database it will store it if (in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $ip_information)) { $row['login_ip'] = $row['login_ip']; }else{ $row['login_ip'] = $row['login_ip']."-".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; } } $_SESSION['user_id'] = $row['id'];// this line of code is very important. This saves the user id in the php session so we can use it in the game to display information to the user. $result = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET userip='".mysql_real_escape_string($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])."',login_ip='".mysql_real_escape_string($row['login_ip'])."' WHERE id='".mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['user_id'])."'") or die(mysql_error()); // to test that the session saves well we are using the sessions id update the database with the ip information we have received. header("Location: Sample.php"); // this header redirects me to the Sample.php i made earlier } } } } ?> <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action=""><center> GAME LOGIN <br /> <br /> Username: <input type="text" name="Username" id="Username" /> <br /> <br /> Password: <input type="password" name="password" id="password" /> <br /> <br /> <input type="submit" name="Login" id="Login" value="Login" /> </center> </form> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsCode: [Select] $mystring = "|Signature"; $findme = '|'; $pos = strpos($mystring, $findme); echo $pos; echo's 0 supposed to echo out 1....? why not work thanks How can I enable it to check for Code: [Select] | using strpos? What is the & symbol used for I have seen it in function setname(&$name){ $this->name =& $name; } Thanks I have looked on google and can't find it as i don't know what it is called. thanks Hello, Im getting a name from the url, for instance, index.php?name=C.-and-G The "and" is then converted to a & symbol and dashes converted to spaces. This then uses the new name "C. & G" to select a record from mysql. However, it does not recognise the & symbol, the name in mysql is "C. & G" but returns 0 records. Any ideas? Thanks! Hi, I'm looking through some code I have for setting up a rating system. It was a free open source code, which I need to change to work for my own site. I have it working, but I am now just looking through the code to try and understand it, and for the most part, I do. There is one part I am not familiar with, if somebody could help me please? Values involved; $current_rating = total rate value of votes $count = total number of votes cast Problem I have is the @ symbol here $rating=@number_format($current_rating/$count, 1); Does it format it to decimal places or something like that? It's probably something simple I know, but I am a relative newb. Thanks. This topic has been moved to MySQL Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=322426.0 I am running php 5.3.2 on my local dev and on the server I am running php 5.2.5. In my log files I keep getting deprecated messages like: PHP Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /Users/xxx/dev/git/xxx/cake/dispatcher.php on line 677 Can I just delete & to get rid of this message or will that hose the script locally and on the server? I believe that php 5+ passes all objects as reference. Thanks Easy One - What is the symbol for or? Example: && = and, right? What is 'or'? Code: [Select] $query = "LOWER(name)="$tabB"; on my forums, speakwhatsreal.com new message page, let's say somone on my site has the name "$tabB" how do i make the above query work so it selects a username with the $ symbol in it? because with that query it's linked to Code: [Select] $DB->query("SELECT name, id, mgroup, language, email FROM ibf_members WHERE ".$query); $to_member = $DB->fetch_row(); if (empty($to_member['id'])) { $this->send_form(0, $ibforums->lang['err_no_such_member']); return; } pretty much says no results.. lol any help? What does it mean Like.. !@file_get_contents('url'); or.. !file_get_contents or @file_get_contents Trying to echo a string that contains a hash symbol. Instead of getting a hash symbol, I get %29. The code I am using is pretty basic -->$idx="#" . $idxA;<--, but as stated, when I echo $idx, it comes out as %29. (All of this is part of a form, get, attempting to pass a bookmark to the receiving program. Thoughts? So I have a simple query that adds a text record into a MySQL database table. It works great with exception of one thing. I noticed that if I have "&" symbol in my paragraph, the text after that symbol won't be inserted into the table. The text before that symbol will insert fine. It seems to be doing that only with & symbol; other symbols insert and show up fine. can anyone tell me why this is happening? hello i can't figure out how to modify a value from assoc array so with each recursion to add additional string to his: for example i have attribute=""; then call recursive function and i try to modify its value by concatenating "0"; or "1"; on the next loop to add again "0" or "1"; Hi i want to match $ symbol from the string. I am using the following script Code: [Select] $str="ckj"; if(preg_match("/^$/",$str)) { echo "Dollar is found"; } else { echo "Not Found"; } Its not working fine. Can anyone help me out please. So i'm having some sort of an issue. what i'm trying to do is to get the name from an URL using GET that includes the "&" symbol. I have a link and that link looks like this: name_of_company_&_member. What im trying to do is to get that whole line using Get and echoing on a page. The problem is that the line cuts off after "company_" because it reads the & symbol as something different. Does anyone know how i can be able to retrieve the whole line including everything after the & symbol? i tried using the special character "%26" but i still get the same result. Hi.., I use below method to export data to excel. header('Content-type: application/ms-excel'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=abc.xls'); if I run the script from the server. (http://localhost/export.php) it is work. (pop-up window if i want save or open the file) but if i run the script from the client (http://192.168.1.5/export.php) it is not work. (nothing happen) any idea how to solve this? This one requires lots of up front information: I have a page, for this example that I will call page.php. It takes get parameters, and for this example I'll call the parameter "step". So I have a URL like this: page.php?step=1 This page has a form with an action of page.php?step=1. The code on the page validates the posting information. If the information is bad, it returns the user to page.php?step=1; if it is good, it takes the user to page.php?step=2 via header( "location:page.php?step=2" ). So redirection is done by relative path, not full URLs. This all works as expected. Now what I've done is set .htaccess to be HTTPS for this page, via this code: # Turn SSL on for payments RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} \/page\.php [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] This works (initially). However, once you try to post the form, it just redirects back to the step=1 version of the page. I really don't know how or why that would be. I'm not sure how else I can explain this or what other information you may have. But it's frustrating to not get a page working in HTTPS that works in HTTP. Very odd. Any suggestions? (I don't even really know the best location to figure out when/why it's redirecting back to the original page.) require_once 'includes/upload.class.php'; $upload = new uploads(); $details = $upload->getFileInformation($id); <?php echo $details['upload_desc']; ?> then here the class. require_once 'db.class.php'; class uploads extends database { private $uploadData; function uploadFile() { public function getFileInformation($id) { $this->uploadData = $this->readData("uploadfiles", "upload_id", $id); return $this->uploadData; } But it wont work! Some of you may have seen one of my many posts about email issues. Some users don't get them, and I have determined it is probably because we are marked as spam.
We are a service that grades sales team members on their phone skills. Listening to pre-recorded calls, grading and uploading them to our site, and then another part of our business looks them over and sometimes leaves a message that then get's forwarded to this persons work email.
I have determined there is ways to get marked as spam as default by not having an opt out link. This is not an option, these sales members employer has opted in, and the emails are going to work related accounts hosted at that employer. Also, if one of these staff members is not so bright, or disgruntled they may mark us as spam anyways. The bottom line is that we have very little control over whether we are or are not marked as spam.
So we want to start looking into sending text messages and this is where I start to question how good of an idea this is.
First off, if it was me, and the messages where being sent to a device that my employer did not provide, I would in no way want work related text messages coming to me. Unless there is a vested interest in getting them. IE, I'm the boss at this place and am always on the clock. What if you are on the bottom? It's just a job for you.
What if it is a pre-paid device, text messages cost money. What then? What if they don't even have, or want a cell phone?
The short of it is this. If I'm at a job that is just another job, and this employer tells me that I have to get these messages. I'm going to look for another job. I see the organizations having continuous issues and complaints from their employees. Thus us as a business having issues keeping clients.
What am I getting into here? What are your opinions on this matter? What are your recommendations as to alerting users of something on our site that we can rest assured are being received 100% of the time?
Thanks!
Nick
