PHP - Check If Url Works Or Not?

Hi all - I have a simple PHP app, which I've run thru my Dreamweaver validation and a few PHP syntax validators and it comes out clean. Works perfectly in Firefox but shows a blank page in I.E. and I'm not sure why. The functionality is simple - the page shows a disclaimer, and when the user hits 'OK" it should hide the disclaimer and then display other content. Here's the URL:

https://www.dca.ca.gov/webapps/bppe/annual_report.php

Any ideas as to what is wrong? Thanks! 

Here's the code:

<?php
        if(isset($_POST['OK'])){
            ?>
           
            <h3 class="center"><a href="#a">A</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="#b">B</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="#c">C</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="#d">D</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ok, so I have a REALLY strange problem. So I am trying to delete an array of checkboxes with an input delete piece and I have used a bit of a tutorial on the deletion part.
But, my form works fine in IE9 when I do this and doesn't work in firefox when I have it inside a <form> tag.
Code: [Select]

<form name="deletecheckbox" method="post" action="">
                        <input name="delete" class="delete_button" type="submit" id="delete" value="Delete" />

//some checkboxes pulled in dynamically thru ajax inside a loop and I won't put the whole looping code just what the checkbox looks like
<input name=\"checkbox[]\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"checkbox[]\" value=\"$ID\">
<?
           
                  $contact_query = "SELECT ID FROM Contacts ORDER BY ID ASC";
                  $contact_query_result = mysql_query($contact_query);
                  $count=mysql_num_rows($contact_query_result);
                if($delete){
                for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
                $del_id = $checkbox[$i]; 
                $sql = "DELETE FROM Contacts WHERE ID='$del_id'";
                $result = mysql_query($sql);
                }
                }
                ?>
</form>


Now, if I do the same thing without the form part, it works in Firefox but not in IE
Code: [Select]

<input name="delete" class="delete_button" type="submit" id="delete" value="Delete" />

//some checkboxes pulled in dynamically thru ajax inside a loop and I won't put the whole looping code just what the checkbox looks like
<input name=\"checkbox[]\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"checkbox[]\" value=\"$ID\">
<?
           
                  $contact_query = "SELECT ID FROM Contacts ORDER BY ID ASC";
                  $contact_query_result = mysql_query($contact_query);
                  $count=mysql_num_rows($contact_query_result);
                if($delete){
                for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
                $del_id = $checkbox[$i]; 
                $sql = "DELETE FROM Contacts WHERE ID='$del_id'";
                $result = mysql_query($sql);
                }
                }
                ?>


Anyone know what's goin on here? I'm lost.

I've looked every where, probably googled every variation of my question I could come up with and I've tried all of the suggestions...  I'm trying to connect to two different DBs in two different locations ($local and $remote) and only the second one works.  Here is a sample of my code ("..." = hidden):

//-------------Local DB Connection:
    $local = mysql_connect("localhost","root","...");
    if (!$local)
    {
        die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
    }
    $sel1 = mysql_select_db("new", $local);
//-------------Remote DB Connection:
    $remote = mysql_connect("...","...","...",true);
    if (!$remote)
    {
        die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
    }
    $table = "...";

//---------function selecting from local:
    function fncGrabNemsis($ele,$val){
        mysql_select_db("new", $local);
        $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM new.tblvalues
        WHERE fldelement='$ele' AND fldcode='$val'",$local);
        $tmprow = mysql_fetch_array($result);
        return (isset($tmprow['fldvariable'])?$tmprow['fldvariable']:$val);
    }

//----------Select run from Remote:
        mysql_select_db("ImdxTest", $remote);
        $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ImdxTest.$table WHERE ClientID = ... AND IncidentNum = '$fldINCID'", $remote) or die(mysql_error());
        $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

I've tried moving the mysql_select_db() function calls everywhere you can think of and just about everything else...  What happens is, I get php errors saying that $local is not defined or that the mysql function that are trying to use the $local connection are expecting parameters to be resources!?  I know for a fact that both connections work because individually they both work.  Only the second connection ($remote) works...  Thanks a lot for any suggestions!

I have been trying to better understand how php works on a more in depth level, and recently I have been tinkering with arrays.

Using print_r() I have been studying the $GLOBAL array, and I found something I can't seem to find an explanation for.

In my $GLOBALS array there are variables I have set in a configuration file, but never actually made into globals.

Take the following code, and its output for example.


echo "<pre>";
echo print_r($GLOBALS);
echo "</pre>";


The output:

Were set inside of a php config file. My question is, how did they end up in the $GLOBALS array?

I have some code that works fine on my dev server but does not work on my production server.  Dev server has PHP version 5.2.5 and production server has PHP version 5.1.6.

This is the part of the code that isn't working on the prod. server:
$xmlDoc=new DOMDocument();
$xmlDoc->loadXML($tmpDoc);

$x=$xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('link');

//get the q parameter from URL
$q=$_GET["q"];

//lookup all links from the xml file if length of q>0
if (strlen($q)>0)
{
$hint="";
for($i=0; $i<($x->length); $i++)
{
$y=$x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('title');
$z=$x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('url');
if ($y->item(0)->nodeType==1)
{
//find a link matching the search text
if (stristr($y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue,$q))
{
     if ($hint=="")
     {
     $hint="<tr><td><a href='" .
         $z->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue .
        "' target='_blank'>" .
        $y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "</td></tr>";
     }
     else
    {
     $hint=$hint . "<tr><td><a href='" .
         $z->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue .
         "' target='_blank'>" .
         $y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "</a></td></tr>";
     }
}
     }
   }
}

$tmpDoc is a variable that holds database information in xml form.  It basically looks like this:
$tmpDoc = $tmpDoc . "<link><title>" . $row['CustomerName'] . "****" . $row['Rep'] . "****" . $row['InstallDate'] . "****" . $row['PaidDate'] .  "</title><url>accountPage.php?AccNum=" . $row['AccountNum'] . "</url></link>";

...that is inside a while loop that loops through the rows returned by a query.

Basically, as I said, the whole thing works fine on my dev server but on the production server it never makes it into the for loop so I guess the condition $i<($x->length) isn't being met.  I'm at a bit of a loss here.  Is there anything like the PHP version or Apache version that may cause the "->" operator to not work?  The prod PHP version isn't that much older than my dev PHP version so I doubt that's the issue but it's about all I can think of.

Thanks!

Greetings, all -

Curious to know if someone wouldn't mind taking a look at this code and letting me know if there are any apparent errors that may cause this problem:

I attempted sending the message to one of my two 1and1 email accounts and after some delay, it sent it to 1and1 account B but not 1and1 account A.  My gmail account, however, gets them every time.  I'd like to just say it's some issue with 1and1 but since it successfully got through to the one 1and1 account I'm not comfortable stopping at that.  I should also mention that for some reason, as I'm trying it today, the successful 1and1 account will no longer receive the messages...  I've tried it with directly copying the php mail code from 1and1's FAQ, though, and it seemed to work for the 1and1 account that was previously succcessful (acct B) but not acct A.

Very stuck...

Thanks

Here is my sample Results page: http://www.myalaskacenter.com/events/venues/test_venues-results.php?VenueCode=ACH

So on my website I have a basic if statement that checks some arguments to see if a user can add another user as a friend.

Well I had gotten that part down and for the longest time other people on my website have been able to use the feature.

Now all of a sudden the if statement doesn't work? Why?

Here is the statement:

if ($privacy['privacy']['who_can_add'] == '1' AND $zext->user['id'] != '0' AND $zext->user['id'] != $u['id'])
{
$add_friend = $u['add_friend'];
}


of course if I put
$add_friend outside the if statement, the button appears.

How can a statment work one day but not the other? Is it an issue with my server?

dump of $privacy:
Code: [Select]
$ => Array (4)
(
|    ['hide_o_status'] = Integer(1) 0
|    ['who_can_view'] = Integer(1) 1
|    ['who_can_add'] = Integer(1) 1
|    ['who_can_contact'] = Integer(1) 1
)

dump of $zext->user['id']:
Code: [Select]
$ = String(2) "10"
dump of $u['id']:
Code: [Select]
$ = String(2) "4"
it all has correct information and the if statement has not been changed from before when it had worked and outputted $add_friend all day long.

it worked until last night, i don't know what happened or why, php version has not been changed or anything.

if anybody has any ideas on what's going on help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Matt.

I have the following 2 scripts. One adds to the database and the other deletes a record from the database.
Code: [Select]

<form action="deletebidder.php" method="post">
<table>
<tr>    <td><font face ="calibri" size="4"> Add Bidder:</td>
</tr>
<tr>    <td><input type="text" name="biddersId" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>    <td><input type="hidden" name="addedbidder" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>    <td><input type="Submit"  value="Add"></td>
</tr>
</table>
Second from:
Code: [Select]
<form name="deletebidder" action="process_bidders2.php" method="post">

<table>
<tr>   <td><font face= "calibri" size= "3"> Delete Bidder</font></td>
</tr>
<tr>   <td><input type= "text" name="deletebidder" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>   <td><input type= "hidden" name="deletebidder1" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>   <td><input type= "submit" value= "submit" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
Both forms are on the same page. Now I have tried separate processing pages with the same results (If i get one to work the other doesn't, it's either one or the other, but they won't work together.
 If i have the add bidder working, the delete bidder doesn't work and visa versa??
Also, ONE IMPORTANT note is, if i try to process each form on separate pages, no matter what action "name" i give the form, it will only go to the action page that is working.
Example is, I tried to process one form on deletebidder.php and the other on process_bidders2.php but it didn't matter. Both forms were processed by the deletebidder.php page. How is this even possible if I gave them both seperate action "paths"??

Code: [Select]
<?php
ob_start();

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);

$biddersId= $_POST['biddersId'];

if (isset($addedbidder)) \\hidden form field
{

mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

I was trying to refrain from posting, but its driving me mad and I am not sure what to do.   Here is the issue.   I have some rewrite rules and are making them better. But for now just need to know why this rule is giving me a page not found everytime.   Firstly, this rule works fine:     Options +FollowSymLinks

For years I have used a simple captcha application displaying a simple combination of letters and numbers.   All has worked fine except that my hosting company upgraded some of their servers from PHP 5.2.17 to PHP 5.4.29.  The numbers now down't display and I can submit the form without filling any captcha into the text box.   On the otherhand, I have a couple of sites on different servers, (same hosting company) using PHP 5.2.17 and the captcha application works perfectly.   The code to make the captcha works uses $HTTP_SESSION_VARS and I understand it is deptrecated with newer versions of PHP so I changed to $_SESSION.   If I fill out the form and leave the captcha blank it will default to the error message and require a return to the form page to fill in the captcha.  Once filled in and the form submitted, it goes to the default message.   It appears that the session variable is not passing to the page and recognized.

Hi all, Having an issue with some of my php code. The goal is to have two drop-down menus, one that pulls from "ahevents_scenarios". The second pulls the "sides" involved, however it does not go into dropdown. The other issue is that even though there are only 3 sides specified, all 5 show up on the webpage. This is in Joomla.     Here is my code...I think I've looked over this way too much and just can't find my errors anymore.

<?php



if (! $my->id) {

  // shouldn't even get here since menu is viewable only through logged in status

print "<b>Sorry, you must be registered and logged into this site to continue</b>\n";

}

else {



// include standard functions and db info

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/inc/admin_functions.php");

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/inc/db_admin_functions.php");



// which scenario we doing?  -- replace with table lookup in future



opendb('ahevents_scenarios');



if(!isset($_POST['action'])) { // display form

    $sqlstr2 = "select id, name from scenarios order by name";

    $result2 = mysql_query($sqlstr2) or die("Error: ".mysql_error()."<br>Query: $sqlstr2");

  // display form

?>



<form name="edit_reg" method="post" action="<? echo $_SERVER[ 'REQUEST_URI' ]; ?>"

<table>

<tr>

<td>Select Scenario: </td>

<td>

<select name="id">

<? while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result2)) {

    printf("<option value=\"%s\">%s</option>\n",$row['id'], $row['name']);

}

?>

</td></tr>

<tr>

<td>Which Side?</td>

<td><select name="side">

<option value="side_1">side_1</option>

<option value="side_2" >side_2</option>

<option value="side_3" >side_3</option>

<option value="all" selected>All</option>

</select>

</td></tr>

</table>

<p>

<input type="submit" name="action" value="Get Registrants">&nbsp;

<input type="reset" value="Reset">&nbsp;

<input type="button" name="" value="Back" onClick="history.back()">

</form>

The goal is to download the registrants into a .csv file, which it does, however due to not being able to select a "side", the .csv is blank with only headers, no content.   Thanks for your time Rob

I am trying to make a simple CMS, the table is created with this command(using php):
Code: [Select]
private function buildDB() {
$sql =
<<<MySQL_QUERY
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS newcore (
id MEDIUMINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
title VARCHAR(128),
menutitle VARCHAR(128),
bodytext TEXT,
json VARCHAR(1024),
children VARCHAR(128),
template INTEGER,
created VARCHAR(100),
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
MySQL_QUERY;

return mysql_query($sql);
}

everything works fine, insert, delete, select, etc. But when I update a row, the update is also done, but another row is created with the same values, but of course a new id. I do the update this way:

Code: [Select]
$created = time();
$sql = 'UPDATE newcore SET title="'.$title.'", menutitle="'.$menutitle.'", bodytext="'.$bodytext.
'", json="'.$json.'", children="'.$children.'", template="'.$template.'", created="'.$created.'" WHERE id='.$req['id'];

mysql_query($sql);

All the values are entered by myself, so there is no possibility of problem in values to make it function like that. Please help me, It's driving me insane! Thanks in advance.

Howdy! I have been working in this custom script to manage some people on a group.. It will be really complete, with profiles, related stats and also an simple email client. But recently I have been having an issue with the function move_uploaded_file() to upload a picture to the user's profile.

Apparently it works for some files (which means the syntax and paths are correct), but for some others move_uploaded_file() returns FALSE and I just can't work it out.

Here is the part of the script that treats the uploading:
Code: [Select]
$target_path = "/opt/lampp/htdocs/emp/deeper/profiles/avt/"; //>>PATH<< to avt folder

if (!isAllowedAvatar($_FILES['picture']['name'])) { //Check for allowed filetypes
print "<div class='notif error bloc'><strong>Error :</strong> Wrong filetype. Image must be PNG file...</a></div>";
die;
}
if (file_exists($target_path.$basename.".png")) { //Rename old image to prevent loss of it in case of Failure
rename($target_path.$basename.".png",$target_path.$basename."_temp.png");
}

$old_path = $target_path;

$target_path = $target_path . $basename . ".png"; //Build new image path

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['picture']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) { //Moves uploaded image
print "File ".  basename($_FILES['picture']['name'])." correctly uploaded";
unlink($old_path.$basename."_temp.png"); //Deletes temp file
} else {
print "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
rename($old_path.$basename."_temp.png",$old_path.$basename.".png"); //Reverts the temp file to the original
}
I think the comments are enough for understanding it. Also, it looks like move_uploaded_file() is returning FALSE if the file is from Linux and had ownership stuff..
Any tip is welcome! Thanks for reading!

Hi, I don't know if this is the right place, but I used a code for a dropdown menu witch works fine on the website (geloven.eu/ABK2021) who uses PHP 7.2.24, but the dropdown does NOT work on another site bijbelkamp.eu/ABK2021 who uses PHP 7.3.28.

The index page just includes the menu.php (here menu.txt) and the css file bootstrap21.css (here bootstrap21.txt).

Can this be some coding issue or does this have nothing to do with the code?

bootstrap21.txt menu.txt
