Building a website for work. I am struggling with the login for some reason. I`m using a lot of the same code as I did for my personal site and a few other websites I`ve programmed which has always worked. But for some reason, it isn`t working now. I`ve already told it to display to me the information that`s being processed and that is all correct (it even updates the database like it`s supposed to). It just won`t show the person being logged in, which defeats the purpose of logging in, yanno?

Here are all the files in question.

Can anyone see why it works on everything but getting the person logged in?

Hi Chaps,

I have a PHP FTP App, where users can log in using a unique code and a password.

Their unique code corresponds to an FTP folder, e.g.
Quote

\FTP_Root\Customer A & Co\


So when the user logs in, they can see their FTP directory and contents, in this case an Inbox and an Outbox.
This works as the FTP folder contains both an Inbox and an Outbox.

The problem I am having is when I try browsing within this directory (say the Inbox), ftp-chdir fails.

I have a hyperlink that sends a 'dir' parameter to the same ftp.php page, and if set, will attempt to change to the given directory.

So even though the URL Hyperlink reads:
Quote

....server.co.uk/ftp.php?dir=/FTP_Root/Customer A & Co/Inbox


When you click on this link, the page tries to load:
Quote

....server.co.uk/ftp.php?dir=/FTP_Root/Customer A


So my question is what do I need to change, the Hyperlink to read something like:
Quote

....server.co.uk/ftp.php?dir=/FTP_Root/Customer%20A%20&%20Co/Inbox



Do something to the ftp-chdir function, where I encode/decode/whatever to make sure it tries to change to the correct FTP directory?

Or exclude all ampersand entirely?

Hello everyone,

I am new to this forum and PHP world. Doing my first project, a pretty complicated one to start with. I will be needing your help a lot to accomplish it.
Here is the first one.

1. I have a certain field called 'country'
2. I have small flag icons for every country.

WHAT DO I WANT TO DO?

Example - If the country is U.S.A., the U.S. flag shows up and is a link to www.domain.com/usa
If the country is Germany, the German flags shows up and is a link to www.domain.com/germany
If the country is not set, no flag shows up. END.

How do I execute this?

This is what I am doing to get the image
<img src="images/flags/<?php echo $row_rsPilots['country']; ?>.gif" alt="" name="Flag" width="20" height="20" id="Flag" />

How do make it a link to www.domain.com/'country'

Thanks in advance

i am not a coder by any means and my boss threw me under the bus to add an auto reply to this form. I've figured out that this is the code that the form uses to process - but now i have NO IDEA what to do. Can ANYONE help me with this? it's supposed to have instructions in the response and send a copy to us and the the submitter.

THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!


Here's the php form code:

Code: [Select]
<?php

$EmailFrom = "Win One";
$EmailTo = "sales@capsonewire.com";
$Subject = "Registration";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name']));
$Tel = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Tel']));
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email']));
$Phone = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Phone']));
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message']));

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (!$validationOK) {
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Phone: ";
$Body .= $Phone;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// redirect to success page
if ($success){
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=contactthanks.php\">";
}
else{
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
}
?>
