PHP - Preg_replace Php Code Issue

im not sure how to do this: my code used the deprecated ereg_replace like this:
$name = ereg_replace(" ", "", $name);

i replaced it with this:
$name = preg_replace(" ", "", $name);   //this is line 65

but know get a warning:
Warning: preg_replace(): Empty regular expression on line 65

what am i doing wrong please?
thank you

The code snippet below works fine with PHP 5.3 (register_globals = Off) but does NOT give the same results with PHP 5.5:

$verhash = md5($tstamp."salt");
if ($hash != $verhash) {
	$_SESSION['direct'] = 1;
	if(isset($_SESSION['ntrd'])) {
		unset($_SESSION['ntrd']);
	}
	if(isset($_SESSION['rntr'])) {
		unset($_SESSION['rntr']);
	}	
	header('refresh: 0; url=/accessDenied.php');
 	exit;
}

I'm not sure if there is a problem with the above snippet or with some other part of the code but I always get redirected to the 'accessDenied.php' page with PHP 5.5.
 
Can someone tell me if the snippet above would output differently on PHP 5.5?
 
Thanks,
 
Jeff

ok, I thought I had this working but I guess not. Once I click the submit button the email goes but I need to be redirected to a web page named http://myserver/notification_sent.php

I edited the line:

  <form method="post">

to look like

  <form method="post" action="http://myserver/notification_sent.php">

& I then get redirected to the page I need but the email don't go out.




Code: [Select]

$mailheaders = "From: Reporting System<rps@yahoo.org>";
  $destination = array(); 
  if (!empty($_POST['notify_jane'])) $destination[] = 'email1@yahoo.org';
  if (!empty($_POST['notify_john'])) $destination[] = 'email2@yahoo.org';
  if ($destination) { 
    mail(join(', ', $destination), 'Document Added/Updated', 'This is a test notification', $mailheaders); 



  }


?>
  <form method="post">
  <input type="hidden" name="formsent" value="true" />
<br/> If you do not need to send a notification to someone you can close this window. If you do, choose the name(s) below and click submit.
<br/>-------------------------------------------------------
        <br/>Check this box <input autocomplete="off" type="checkbox" name="notify_jane" value="yes" /> to send <strong>John Doe</strong> a notification.
<br/>Check this box <input autocomplete="off" type="checkbox" name="notify_jane" value="yes" /> to send <strong>Jane Doe</strong> a notification.

        <input type="submit" value="Submit" />

Can someone take a look at line 36 in this code?

This code pulls data from a MySQL database & displays it in a form. Then I can edit the data & click submit & it updates the MySQL database. It then, sends an email to the email address on line 35. Again, all of this works until I start editing line 36 to send the location, first name, & last name within the message of the email.

What is the code so I can get an email with the first name, last name & location?

I have a pretty basic PHP log in code connected to a database of register users. However, it's not allowing any users to enter? Could someone please review the code and let me know if you find any errors?


//Create query
$qry="SELECT * FROM customers WHERE username='$login' AND password='".md5($_POST['password'])."'";

$result=mysql_query($qry);

//Check whether the query was successful or not
if($result) {
if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) {
//Login Successful
session_regenerate_id();
$member = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID'] = $member['id'];
$_SESSION['SESS_FIRST_NAME'] = $member['fname'];
$_SESSION['SESS_LAST_NAME'] = $member['lname'];
session_write_close();
header("location: key_catalog.php");
exit();
}else {
//Login failed
header("location: login-failed.php");
exit();
}
}else {
die("Query failed");
}
