Problem Using/reaching Included Function?	View Content

Hey!

I have a small code where I want to check if one variable matches the other when the other is sent through a function. The function, for practical reasons, is included with a separate PHP-file. And I cant seem to apply a variable to the function which processes the other variable. Its really wierd to me.

Here is the code for the main PHP-file:

Code: [Select]
<?php

include 'function.php';

$unformatted = "FORMATTING AY ...";

$formatted1 = "formattingay...";

$formatted2 = test_format($unformatted);

if ($formatted1 == $formatted2) {
     echo "Success, formatted!";
} else {
     echo "Fail, unformatted.";
}

?>
And here is the code for "function.php":

Code: [Select]
<?php

function test_format($var) {
     strtolower(str_replace(array(" "), array(""), $var));
}

?>
Does anybody have a clue to why this simply wont work? Any answers and help is highly appreciated!

Problem Connecting To Mysql Db Using Included Connect File

So, I feel like I am running up against some beginner's problem. So I am hoping this should be an easy fix. I have had a bit of trouble finding the right search terms to find a fix for this, so I am sorry ahead of time if there is already a post on this, please point me towards it.

I am running PHP 4.4.9 and MySQL client API 4.1.22, in case that is of use.

I can get the following to work and provide the appropriate output. Note in this first case that the connection info is in the same file as the call to it.

<?php
// set database access information
define ('DB_USER', "*****");
define ('DB_PASSWORD', "*****");
define ('DB_HOST', "localhost");
define ('DB_NAME', "content");

// database connection protocol
$dbc = mysql_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD) or die ('Could not connect to MySQL: Error #' . mysql_errno() . ' - ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db (DB_NAME) or die ('Could not connect to MySQL: Error #' . mysql_errno() . ' - ' . mysql_error());

$query = "SELECT content_element_title FROM content_main";

$result = mysql_query ($query);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))

{

echo ("<p>" . $row[content_element_title] . "</p>");

}
unset($dbc);

?>

My problem is, however, that when I separate the connection info into a separate file, I have been having problems. I think I got past the method calling the connection info not being able to see it, but now it isn't returning anything - should be returning

"<p>" . $row[content_element_title] . "</p>",

for which there are three rows in the db.

Here is what the two files look like separated:

kinnect.php

<?php

// set database access information
define ('DB_USER', '*****');
define ('DB_PASSWORD', '*****');
define ('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define ('DB_NAME', 'content');

//// database connection protocol
$dbc = mysql_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD) or die ('Could not connect to MySQL: Error #' . mysql_errno() . ' - ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db (DB_NAME, $dbc) or die ('Could not connect to MySQL: Error #' . mysql_errno() . ' - ' . mysql_error());

?>
file.php

<?php

require_once ("correctpathto/kinnect.php");

$query = "SELECT content_element_title FROM content_main";

$result = mysql_query ($query, $dbc);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))

{

echo ("<p>" . $row[content_element_title] . "</p>");

}
unset($dbc);
?>

So what am I doing wrong? I am getting these error messages now.

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /Users/max/Sites/rdbase-llc/preliminary/connecttroubleshoot.php on line 18

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /Users/max/Sites/rdbase-llc/preliminary/connecttroubleshoot.php on line 20

Thanks ahead of time for any help!

While Loop Reaching Nginx Limit

I have a while loop in a script that is running for a very long time due to the large values that are passing through it. Below is the link to the pastebin code and code embedded in this forum.

Loop Statement Snipet

if (!$user_class->invincible) {
	if (!$defender->invincible) {
		while ($yourhp > 0 && $theirhp > 0) {
			$damage = round($defender->moddedstrength) - $user_class->moddeddefense;
			$damage = ($damage < 1) ? 1 : $damage;
			if (!$wait) {
				$yourhp = $yourhp - $damage;
				++$number;
				$log[] = $number . ":&nbsp;" . $defender->formattedname . " hit you for " . prettynum($damage) . " damage using their " . $defender->weaponname . ". <br />";
			} else
				$wait = 0;
			if ($yourhp > 0) {
				$damage = round($user_class->moddedstrength) - $defender->moddeddefense;
				$damage = ($damage < 1) ? 1 : $damage;
				$theirhp = $theirhp - $damage;
				++$number;
				$log[] = $number . ":&nbsp;" . "You hit " . $defender->formattedname . " for " . prettynum($damage) . " damage using your " . $user_class->weaponname . ". <br />";
			}
		}
		$log = array_slice($log, -10, 10, true);
		foreach($log as $text)
			echo $text;
	} else
		$yourhp = 0;
} else
	$theirhp = 0;

My issue is that $yourhp and $theirhp can be in the 100's of thousands causing this to loop half a million plus times.

I was curious if there was a way to only show the first few lines and last few lines of this but still retain the increment value that's created?

Thanks so much in advance.

Sessions And Included Files

Does a Session's scope carry over to included files?

Let's say I have a file "index.php" and it has a Session.

If "index.php" includes a file called "header.inc.php", does the scope of the Session in "index.php" carry over to the included header?

For instance, could I check $_SESSION['LoggedIn'] in "header.inc.php"?

Protecting Included Files

Similar Tutorials

View Content

Hi All,

I'm trying to secure my web app which is currently in development, and came across this issue.

I have a header.php and footer.php page which are included to every page, with the content in the middle. The problem is, if you visit header.php then it displays the header, with some blank text.

What is the best way to protect this - i.e., if visited directly, it re-directs to index.php etc.

My initial thought is to set a $happylink on each page and in the header and footer, checking basically doing the following

if (isset($happylink) && !empty($happylink))
{
blah blah;
}
else
{
Header("Location: index.php");
}

Would that be the best way? Is there something easier?

1 Added To Included String

Similar Tutorials

View Content

I hope that subject made sense!

I have a page where I want to generate page-specific keywords automatically. Actually I have some general keywords stored in a text file and then I add the page-specific ones after those. The problem is, however, solely caused by the keywords I pull from my text file. A "1" is added to my list of keywords. Consider a news page like so:

news.php
// ...
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php require('php/generateKeywordList.php'); ?>" />
</head>
// ...

And then generateKeywordList.php
// I have omitted the part with the page-specific keywords, because it is not what causes the problem (commented it all out)
set_include_path('/mypath/');
$str = require_once('includes/websiteKeywords.txt');
echo $str; // For some reason, the number 1 is added at the end of this string

websiteKeywords.txt (it doesn't matter what I put in there)
Code: [Select]
these, are, my, keywords, for, my, website
In my meta tag, the above would be displayed as:
Code: [Select]
these, are, my, keywords, for, my, website1
I then tried to make a simple php page like this

$keywords = require('includes/websiteKeywords.txt');
echo $keywords;

... and it worked. At the moment I have absolutely no idea where the number 1 comes from.

So, basically if I include the keywords directly from the text file into my meta tag, it displays fine. If I make a simple php page where I echo out the keywords from the text file, it displays fine. But if I include my php script, which echos the keywords, into my meta tag, the number 1 is added at the end of the string.

Am I completely missing something here or is this extremely strange?

Thanks for any help!

Script Works Fine Alone, But Not When Included - What Could Be The Cause?

I have created a script (single file) that works fine when testing it alone, but when included it doesn't and rest of page is blank.

Say I have...

Code: [Select]

include_file.php
Code: [Select]
<?
$a_$string = "a string";
echo($a_string);
?>

I have put an error in the include_file.php an extra $ in the variable name.

The first script would kick up an error that there is a problem with file include_file.php as line 3 or what ever the line may be.

How can I have it so I can choose what the error message is, say a cryptic code and the line number without having the file names show as this is showing up my hidden includes folder and the file name which means that someone may try to visit this page alone and this can cause security issues.

Adding in extra lines to every file to see if it is being use correctly a bit like sessions is not an option although I have looked at it as I have houndreds of files to alter in this case.

I have just tried this instead of the top script but I does not show the secret code on error

echo("top");
@include("dummy.php") or die("secreterrorcode123");

If/else Statement Not Working In Included File

Hi,
My issue here is that I cant get my if/else statement to work on my secondary page. I include my secondary page (fine.php) from my index page. However, I have an if/else statement in fine.php that keeps reverting back to the index.php and, therefore, outputs the else statement (404.php)

here is the if/else on index.php (these links work fine):

<?php
if($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']=='/index.php' || $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']=='')
{
include 'port.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['pos'])){
include 'pos.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['web'])){
include 'web.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['fine'])){
include 'fine.php';
}

        else {include '404.php';}

here is the if/else on my secondary page (fine.php). These links are supposed to alert the if/else in the next table cell. However, they instead alert the if/else in index.php.

<td><br/>
<a href="?backset"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-backset.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/>
<a href="?backside"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-backside.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/>
<a href="?bannerprint"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-bannerprint.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/>
<a href="?chopu"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-chopu.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/>
</td>
<td><br/>
<div id="DivPiece" align="left">
<?PHP

if (isset($_GET['backset'])){
       include 'fine/backset.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['backside'])){
     include 'fine/backside.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['bannerprint'])){
     include 'fine/bannerprint.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['chopu'])){
include 'fine/chopu.php';
}

?>
</div>
</td>

How can I get the links on the secondary page to only alert the if/else statement on that page, and BLOCK the if/else statement on index.php from seeing them? I still want to use the query string though.

Thanks!

Code Working On Page, But Not Via An Included File??

I have a snippet of code like this below. If I have it directly on my page, it works fine. But if I move this snippet of code into an include file and use "require_once('thefile.php');", the code no longer works properly. How is that possible? FYI, this snippet is in the middle of a for loop on the regular page. Maybe you can't use includes when in a loop? I don't know. Makes no sense that it works when on the page, but not when included using require once.

Any thoughts how this could be possible? I imagine there is some rule with include files that I'm missing???

This is the code and I don't think it matters exactly what its doing so I won't bother you with that. This is how it looks on the page itself...

Code: [Select]
if ($type=="one") {
$_SESSION['cluenum']=1; //so clue #1 begins as the selected clue
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>document.getElementById('clue1').style.border = '1px solid red';</script>"; //sets the styling on clue #1
$allcode = "onclick='setnumber($i);'";
} else {
// type must be equal to all, so don't do anything special
$allcode="";
}

This is how it looks in the include file... Code: [Select]
<?php
if ($type=="one") {
$_SESSION['cluenum']=1; //so clue #1 begins as the selected clue
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>document.getElementById('clue1').style.border = '1px solid red';</script>"; //sets the styling on clue #1
$allcode = "onclick='setnumber($i);'";

// type must be equal to all, so don't do anything special

i copied and pasted it from many sites examples so thats why some comments are weird... but basically it gets all the data files. reads the title and puts them in an array, then chooses some random ones and puts them in with their image so they can be displayed on the homepage.
