PHP - Preg_match Is Always Returning True, Problem With Utf-8?

When I use the following code to check for posted characters it allows the insertion of ( ) brackets to be posted.

if(!preg_match('/^([-_ a-z0-9]){2,50}$/i', $_POST['title']))
{
echo "<script>alert('Please enter a Title 2-50 alphanumeric characters,\\nspaces, hyphens and underscores also accepted!)</script>";
}

It should on allow 2-50 alphanumeric characters and spaces, hyphens and underscores!

What am I missing?

Hi, preg_match isn't working the way I feel it should.

The idea, when i finally get this script working, is to echo an order form back to the client (so they can see what they've ordered). At the moment I'm just trying to get the product description for each ordered product.

$aryOrder:
prodCode[6722] with a value of (for instance) 2
prodCode[6724] with a value of (for instance) 1
etc
(only ordered products present in the array)

prodDB.txt
6722 Hydrocolloid Blister Care
6724 Toe Spreader
etc
All products present in text file (prode code Description)

BUT I get an echo with no matches for any ordered product (or any prod for that matter) i.e.
no match: 6724, 6724 TOE SPREADER
when clearly, the product code (6724 $aryItem) is present in the text file line ($line_of_text).

I just don't get it!

foreach($aryOrder as $aryItem => $qty) {
     $file_handle = fopen("prodDB.txt", "r");
     while (!feof($file_handle)) {
      $line_of_text = fgets($file_handle);
      if (preg_match($aryItem, $line_of_text))
        {
         echo "Matched! $aryItem, $line_of_text QTY: $qty <br>";
         }
       else
        {
       echo "no match: $aryItem, $line_of_text <br>";
       }
       }
      fclose($file_handle);               
       }

I'm completely new to PHP, trying to work it out from the manual, so I've probably made a very basic mistake, and may even be going about this in entirely the wrong way.
Any help much appreciated,
Steve

Hi,

I have the following code:


Code: [Select]

<?
Header("content-type: application/x-javascript");
function returnimages($dirname="./windows/prezentare_jpg/") {
$files = array();
$curimage=0;
if($handle = opendir($dirname)) {
while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){
if(preg_match('/.jpg$/i', $file)){
echo 'galleryarray['.$curimage.']="'.$file .'";';
$curimage++;
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
return($files);
}
echo 'var galleryarray=new Array();';
returnimages();
?>


Ran on windows (xampp 1.7.7, PHP 5.3.8, Apache 2.2.21) it returns the correct alfabetical/numerical order:

Code: [Select]
var galleryarray=new Array();galleryarray[0]="01.jpg";galleryarray[1]="02.jpg";galleryarray[2]="03.jpg";galleryarray[3]="04.jpg";galleryarray[4]="05.jpg";galleryarray[5]="06.jpg";galleryarray[6]="07.jpg";galleryarray[7]="08.jpg";galleryarray[8]="09.jpg";galleryarray[9]="10.jpg";galleryarray[10]="11.jpg";galleryarray[11]="12.jpg";


Ran on linux (PHP 5.3.8, Apache 2.2.21) it returns an incorrect order:

Code: [Select]

var galleryarray=new Array();galleryarray[0]="06.jpg";galleryarray[1]="01.jpg";galleryarray[2]="08.jpg";galleryarray[3]="10.jpg";galleryarray[4]="04.jpg";galleryarray[5]="11.jpg";galleryarray[6]="05.jpg";galleryarray[7]="03.jpg";galleryarray[8]="07.jpg";galleryarray[9]="09.jpg";galleryarray[10]="02.jpg";galleryarray[11]="12.jpg";


I need the script to run correctly on the linux server.
What could be the problem? What can i try?

Hi I am new to php,  I am trying to capture the url and place into a variable but I only get the 1st digit to show,  I just cant see what I am doing wrong. 

Sorry to ask such a basic question but I just can't work it out,  I have attached a screen shot of all me code, your help would be very very much appreciated.

I have a script that runs a query against a MySQL database, then, if it returns a resultset, it takes the 'freindly name from an array containg the database connections, then adds the data for the resultset.
Unfortunately at the minute, it doesn't quite work the way that I want.

So far I have:

//get list of servers to query, and choose them one at a time
for($a = 0; $a <sizeof($slaveRes_array); $a++)  {
$con = mysql_connect($slaveRes_array[$a]['server'], $slaveRes_array[$a]['user'], $slaveRes_array[$a]['password']); 
mysql_select_db($dbs, $con);
//get list of MySQL Queries, and run them against the current server, one at a time        
for($b = 0; $b <sizeof($query_array); $b++) {
$SlaveState = mysql_query($query_array[$b]['query1'], $con); 

// 1st Query
// If there is a resultset, get data and put into array
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($SlaveState)) {  
for($c = 0; $c <mysql_num_rows($SlaveState); $c++) {
$slave_array[]['name'] = $slaveRes_array[$a]['database'];
for($d = 0; $d <mysql_num_fields($SlaveState); $d++) {
$slave_array[][mysql_field_name($SlaveState,$d)] = mysql_result($SlaveState,$c,mysql_field_name($SlaveState,$d));  
}}
}
}
// Run Query2...Query3....etc.
         }


The problem is that at the minute it puts each field into a separate part of the array e.g.

Array (
        => Array ( [name] => MySQL02_5083 ) [1] => Array ( [Slave_IO_State] => Waiting for master to send event )
   [2] => Array ( [Master_Host] => localhost )
   [3] => Array ( [Master_User] => root )

Whereas what I am trying to achieve is more like:
Array (
        => Array ( [name] => MySQL02 ) [Slave_IO_State] => Waiting for master to send event )
   [Master_Host] => localhost )
   [Master_User] => root )...
           [1] => Array ( [name] => MySQL03
etc. etc.

But I can't see how to achieve this?

$looponce = 1;
foreach ($this->info as $k => $v) {
if ( (($k == 'subject') && ($v['required'])) && (!$this->settings['customSubject'])) {
for ($i = 0; $i <= 0; $i++) {
$output[] = $this->display_errors('error_system_subject');
}
}
if ( (($k == 'name') && (!$v['required'])) || ((!array_key_exists("name", $this->info)) && ($looponce == 1)) ) {
$output[] = $this->display_errors('error_system_name');
$looponce++;
}
}

That is my loop that i check things in. What i'm more interested in is the name if statement.

If currently checks for a name key in an array(below) and makes sure that it is set to required. If it's not set to required, print out a system error and die()'s.

I'm looking for ways to remove the need for program errors and just change them to what is needed to run.

What i know how to do is, get into the inner array, what i don't know is how to edit the data and put it back exactly as it was given to me. The inner array data can be put back in any order, but the outer array must be in exact order as it was given.


above code $this->info = $formdata;

$formdata = array(
'name' => array('name'=>"Full Name", 'required'=>false, 'type'=>'text'), # This needs to be required=>true, but i can't trust the user, which is why i have the error.
'telephone' => array('name'=>"Telephone", 'required'=>false, 'type'=>'phone'),
);


Any help is greatly appreciated, also am i doing the foreach loop in the code above in an efficient manner or is there another way?

Apart from the fact this can cause an infinite loop is it OK to use?

$user->reset_token = $user->generate_password(32);

// Make sure the token is unique
while(TRUE)
{
$count = ORM::factory('manager')->where('reset_token', '=', $user->reset_token)->count_all();
if($count < 1) break;

$user->reset_token = $user->generate_password(32);
}

Or would you approach the logic for this differently?

Thoughts appreciated. Cheers

Is there any reason why I would want to use this...

Code: [Select]
$_SESSION['loggedIn'] = TRUE;
versus this...

Code: [Select]
$_SESSION['loggedIn'] = 1;
(The first one is easier to read...)


Debbie

I am wondering if these "true" values are the same to PHP...
Code: [Select]
<a href="' . BASE_URL . 'members/log_in.php?addComment=true">Log In</a>


Code: [Select]
if (isset($_GET['addComment']) && ($_GET['addComment']==TRUE)){


Debbie

Just a silly question.  I've been using 1 and 0 to tell if something is true or false, such as if a feature is enabled or not.  I see that some use the words true and false.  Is there a proper way or is either way correct?  Thanks!

hi i have set 2 varibles, and want to echo them out if they are true,  i have this script but doesnt work, please help.
<?php
$month=$_GET['month'];
$year=$_GET['year'];

If($year!=0 && $month!=0)
{
echo $month;
echo $year;

}
?>

cheers matt

<?php
$id1 = '5' ;
$id = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7);

    foreach($id as $value){
if($id1==$value){
    echo 'One of them matches, ' ;
    echo 'Do not execute command <BR>' ;
} ////// if ends here
} ////// loop ends here

?>   How to do something if all statements are false ? like when id $id1 = '10' , ?
