PHP - Commenting Section And Members Area Help!!!
Hey everyone!
Thanks for taking the time to help. I have two files..a membership area and a commenting section. I am fairly new at these subjects but I am a quick learner. First off, I need help figuring out why my "register.php" in the members area file isn't working properly, everything looks to be ok but maybe I have been working on this too long. Quite frankly I can't check and see if all of the other scripts are correct because I can't get past the "register.php". So if you all wouldn't mind helping me out on this part, I would greatly appreciate it Secondly, I have a commenting section and in the "demo.php", there is a warning that appears as follows: "Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-5.3.8.1\www\comments\demo.php on line 17 " If someone could tell me what is missing or help me figure out what to do in simple terms, I would greatly appreciate that as well. Thanks!

I am very new to php, I'm sure you'll be able to tell I created a 'members area only' thanks to some awesome online tutorials!! The only part that isn't working is the page protection for the 'members only area'. I am using $_SESSION and ISSET, but wonder why page shows when the address to the protected page is typed directly in, (no session should exist) if I understand correctly ... Any help will be wonderful, I really can't do this on my own yet. I have tried many different combinations, I may have them all mixed together by now. Currently, I have this code to the top of the page I am trying to protect ... <? ob_start(); session_start(); //The users login details should be stored either in the post array or session array so we pull those login credentials $username = isset($_POST['username']) ? $_POST['username'] : $_SESSION['username']; $password = isset($_POST['password']) ? $_POST['password'] : $_SESSION['password']; //if no username session variable exists, redirect user: if(!isset($username)) { header("Location: login_form.php"); } ?> <html> <head> </head> <body> <p> This is the members only area</p> </body> </html> When a user logs in and clicks on the update link they get sent to update.php. On the bottom of this page there is a "Back to Index" link which leads back to the page they were just on (index.php). However all the records in the mysql table is being listed instead if just the users. Any ideas why? I'm using sessions for my members area and echoing it to make sure it's being passed between both pages correctly and it is. This topic has been moved to mod_rewrite. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=318858.0 Hello, Basically i am following this tutorial -: http://tutorialzine.com/2010/06/simple-ajax-commenting-system/ for a website I am creating. But in that tutorial when you write a comment you add a name, I was wondering is it possible instead for my website to use the users username as I have a login system that I created from folowing a tutorial on the same site. I am new to PHP and web creation so please keep the comments simple. Hi, I'm trying to code a very basic commenting system, my only worries is how I'm going on about disabling the user from putting any html php etc.. in the comment so it gets displayed on the page.. I have on idea of what to look for, any help is much appreciated I considdered this: strip_tags() but what i want is to display the comment just without actually executing the code if you get me? Short of deleting, how do I comment out code like this : <!-- IF not S_DISPLAY_RECENT --> <!-- INCLUDE portal/block/recent.html --> <!-- ENDIF --> Nesting <!-- --> /*...*/ // do not work. Thanks And I'm talking as basic as you can go! I'm trying to implement a commenting system on my website for news articles I post, and I've only gotten as far as creating the script to connect to my database (I use mysql). I've tried every open source script online for this app and I've not been able to get any one to work within my website. They'll work on separate blank html pages, but I can't figure out how to put the code into my existing pages, which is a huge problem. As a result, I've resorted to creating my own script, which shouldn't be too difficult to make. If anyone could possibly describe a step by step process on how this can be done I would be incredibly grateful! Just note that I don't want to use ajax, jscript or any other languages like that, just PHP. Another question I have, is how would I organize my database to include all news articles, and comments with a news article "id"? Would I need to put both in separate tables and just assign each comment with the uniqe id associated with whatever news article? And the last thing, I want pagination for my news. I have it to where if I insert a news article column into my table "mynews", it'll show up on the home page, but how and where would I insert a pagination code to make the articles "paginate"? Hello, I'm trying to create a simple php blog thing, and I can't get the commenting to work.. blog.php?id=2 On that page, there is a form what is used to comment, it goes to send.php That php has this query in it: $yhteys = mysql_connect('10.5.49.32', '09A_user', 'pass'); mysql_select_db('09A_Jere', $yhteys); mysql_query("INSERT INTO `Blog_kommentit` (`kayttajat` , `kommentti` , `kirjid` ) VALUES ('$kayttajat', '$kommentti', '$id')") or die(mysql_error())$sql = "SELECT * FROM Blog_kommentit WHERE kirjid='$id' ORDER BY id";; mysql_close($yhteys); header('Location: ' . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']); How can I make the $id to be previous pages id (2)? This shouldn't be anything hard and I'm kinda amazed why I am stuck in this, any help will be appreciated. If I just put $id I get this error: Code: [Select] Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (`09A_Jere/Blog_kommentit`, CONSTRAINT `kommentti_kirjoitus` FOREIGN KEY (`kirjid`) REFERENCES `Blog_kirjoitukset` (`id`))Here is how my database works: (Kayttajat = username, kommentti = comment) Hi im pretty new to php but I was following a tutorial for a commenting system and implemented it onto my blog page. Anyway the problem I have is that as you go down the page each blog post displays its own comments + the comments for the posts above it. I have checked the database and the data seems to link the correct comments to the correct posts so I am confused to why this is happening. I have looked over my code and cant seem to find a problem (probably because I suck!). Here is the code for the blog page... Code: [Select] <?php include_once ("scripts/checkuserlog.php"); include_once ("scripts/connectToMysql.php"); include_once ("functions/agoTime.php"); $myObject = new convertToAgo; $username = ''; $errorMsg = ''; $successMsg = ''; $date = date("m.d.y"); if (isset($_GET['id'])) { $id = preg_replace('#[^0-9]#i', '', $_GET['id']); } else if (isset($_SESSION['idx'])) { $id = $logOptions_id; } else { header("location: index.php"); exit(); } $id = preg_replace('#[^0-9]#i', '', $id); $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE id='$id' LIMIT 1"); $existCount = mysql_num_rows($sql); if ($existCount == 0) { header("location: index.php?msg=user_does_not_exist"); exit(); } while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $username = $row["username"]; } if(isset($_POST['workoutName'])){ $workoutName = $_POST['workoutName']; $workoutDescription = $_POST['workoutDescription']; if ((!$workoutName) || (!$workoutDescription)) { $errorMsg = 'Please fill in both fields'; } else { $insertBlog = mysql_query("INSERT INTO blog (userid, workoutName, workoutDescription, datetime) VALUES ('$id', '$workoutName', '$workoutDescription', now())") or die(mysql_error()); if ($insertBlog){ $successMsg = '<span class="errorMsg">Workout blogged successfully</span>'; } else { $errorMsg = '<span class="errorMsg">Problems arose during the information exchange, please try again later.</span>'; } } } $getBlog = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM blog WHERE userid='$id' ORDER BY id DESC"); $blogEntries = mysql_num_rows($getBlog); if($blogEntries < 1){ $blogDisplay = '<span class="blogName">' .$username.

Whenever I do commenting and my php script, the sricpt falls running. Code: [Select] <?php error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT); echo 'test1'; //echo 'testi2'; echo 'test3'; flush(); ?> trigger_error("Here we are!", E_USER_ERROR); This will output: test1. I have tried lot of things to find out the problem but I can't get any error message and whenever I remove the comments, the script works absolute fine. The script works also with comments in my local server, but whenever I download it on the other server, the problem appears. The file encoding is a UTF-8 format without BOM, and the file is one part of my Yii application. I haven't relasized similar behaving in other scripts. I wonder if someone has some idea what could cause this kind of behaving? I'm very thankful to man who can give me ideas...

I created a field in "b_users" table as "banned" with default value="no". i.e, all members by default are set to "banned"="no".

Ok, so how do I set up a way that I can make a simple messaging system on my website and make it so that I can have check boxes of who I can send a message to on my website.

This topic has been moved to Miscellaneous. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=317715.0 Hi all, I am trying to write a script where the user can update their details. The html form sends the details across to this php file below. All the php variables echo after the query however the values do not replace the current values in the mysql database. Also for some reason the fname is the only one that changes no matter what the value is. It is entered in to mysql as '0'. I think the problem will be in the php below. As all the information below is echoed correctly, and because the value of 'fname' changes I know the connection is working fine. I guess the error must be in the query I have written, however there is no error that comes up... Hope you can point me in the right direction.
