PHP - Random Text Ad Appeared On My Website.
Not sure where to put this, so I figured this would be a good place to start.
First:
I host a website for a client through iPage.com called Authentic Log Houses at authenticloghouses.com.
This website uses a wordpress platform.
Anyway, on with the issue. My client called me one day and said a text ad showed up on his navigation menu of the website selling viagra! Immediately the worst case scenario went through my mind. I told him I'd check it out as soon as I could. I got home and checked his website using Chrome (my preferred browser) only to find it exactly as it should be (with no ad). I assumed at that point that he was probably the only one that could see the link and was probably just dealing with a virus or malware that was affecting his browser.
I told him he should run an antivirus or malware removal program and see if he still saw the ad. He did, but found nothing. He then called his brother and asked him to view his website to see if the ad appeared. It did. I checked again on my computer, still nothing. Finally I decided to try a different browser than Chrome and found that Firefox, IE, Safari, and Opera ALL show the ad!
I still don't know why every browser except Chrome shows the ad, but now that I could duplicate the issue, I eliminated the possibility of a virus or malware since multiple computers showed the same ad (which changes from time to time). I viewed the source code to see where it may have been coming from and it simply showed an anchor tag with a link to a random website in the main nav menu outside the un-ordered list that the website uses, however, I cannot find that link in the source files.
I spoke with iPage's technical support to see if they had any ideas and they said to update all my plugins and install the "Link Removal Tool" and enter the linked url. They said this tool has helped many people and works really well. Nothing worked for me. I even tried their "Pro" version (which is still free o_O) and it seemed to be nothing but spam, so now I don't trust them in the least.
The current text ad can be view on the website in green in the top navigation bar saying "Payday loans direct lender no teletrack" and links to a 404 at worldwiderssfeedcompendium.com.
I'm currently out of ideas! Any help would be awesome. I've never seen this before! I can upload any files if necessary.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
Similar TutorialsHi to everyone , I have used PHP for some basic things in my previous website design but am now venturing into another website for which I have a more complex use for PHP. I plan on making business directory for my local area. People will click on the area of their choice followed by the business type that they require. Then on the results page, they will have a list of all the business types in that particular area. What I would like to be able to do is rather than have the results displayed on the page like this : A Plumber xxxxx xxxxxx Tel: xxxxx xxxxxx Web: xxxxx xxxxxx E-Mail: xxxxx xxxxxx Best Plumber xxxxx xxxxxx Tel: xxxxx xxxxxx Web: xxxxx xxxxxx E-Mail: xxxxx xxxxxx Top Plumber xxxxx xxxxxx Tel: xxxxx xxxxxx Web: xxxxx xxxxxx E-Mail: xxxxx xxxxxx I would like it so that the same businesses are displayed on the page but either: 1) In a random order each time someone loads the page or 2) In a random order changed every hour The aim is so the businesses all have a shot at appearing nearer the top and aren't penalised for the 1st letter of their company name. Any help on this would be much appreciated, Thank You Hi, I am wanting to create a random fact script for a small website project. The idea is when the user loads a page a random fact will appear at the top ( I guess from an array of strings I will make?) Can anyone recommend the most efficient and easiest way to go about this please? This is a section of my code that goes and gets videos from any video site. What I’m having issues with is having it post a random title, that are all in a text file called titles.txt. What I’m wanting to accomplish is have my script go pull the video embed code, the duration, the tags, etc. Which all works fine until I get to the title part where it pulls locally from the server from the text file. I'm not an advance programmer so not sure if I am even approaching this correct way. Here is the code I have that is responsible for putting the title in. I appreciate your help.
$video = array(
‘user_id’ => $this->user_id,
‘status’ => $this->status,
‘site’ => ‘my site’,
‘id’ => ‘’,
‘embeddable’ => true,
‘url’ => ‘’,
‘titles’ => ‘’,
‘title’ => ‘’,
‘description’ => ‘’,
‘tags’ => ‘’,
‘category’ => ‘’,
‘thumbs’ => array(),
‘duration’ => 0,
‘embed’ => ‘’
);
function random_title ()
{
$titles = file (“titles.txt”, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);
$num = rand (0, intval (count ($titles) / 3)) * 3;
return ucwords($titles[$num]);
}
//Title
if(preg_match(’/title="(.*?)"/’, $match, $matches_title)) {
$video[‘title’] = random_title(). ’ - My site name’;
} else {
$this->errors[] = ‘Failed to get video title for ‘.$video[‘url’].’!’;
if (!$this->debug) continue;
else $debug_e[] = ‘TITLE’;
}
Hi Guys, I wonder if you can help me before I go crazy? I have the task of updating a site by adding text to every page, at the moment there are three pages on the live website that show both images and text, I am to update the remaining 6 with text to go with the images.... I thought this was all fine and dandy, added the text in, checked the code, uploaded to the FTP site and nothing, only 1 page worked. I am stuck as I have used the same method to add text to all the pages yet those elusive pages refuse to show text! This is driving me crazy and i am hoping that one of you guys has come across this before and will be able to highlight a missing piece of code or have a solution? I do appreciate your time and any suggestions that you have. I have attached the page below. Thanks guys! As above, I have a lottery style site that picks a random number between 1-8 but my users complain for some reason that this is not enough. So i was told to look into using fopen and random.org to generate a random number. Anyone have experience of this and perhaps a code snippet for me to look at and possibly use? help will be appreciated. Hi, I am not a PHP programmer. I took on a new client with a simple PHP site, without any databases. The site is up and running on the web. I would like to get it running on my local machine for further development. I have latest version of WAMP installed, running Apache version 2.2.11 and PHP version 5.3.0 I created a directory in the WAMP "www" project directory and it shows up there like it's supposed to when I browse to "localhost" Problem: The home page of website displays text but no, images, styles, footer, header, nav links, etc. Here is the code for the home page: <? define("NAV","home"); require_once('local/local.php'); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>TITLE</title> <meta name="keywords" content=""> <meta name="Description" content=""> <? include("common/dochead.php"); ?> </head> <body onLoad="<? include('common/preloads.php'); ?>"> <!-- ============================ main ============================= --> <div id="main-frame"><div id="main" class="noCollapse"> <? include("common/sign.php"); ?> <div id="right-frame"> <? include("common/navigation.php"); ?> <div id="content-frame"> <div id="content"> <h1>Welcome</h1> <p>This is the content area.

I have spent many hours on this. Regards I'm trying to make a League of Legends (a video game) community website, both as a personal project and for practice. Now the game has a lot of champions, each of whom have 5 unique abilities. Now, I thought about manually inputting all the details about each champion into a MySQL database, but that would long and tedious, and I don't really have the time for it now. Also, the game patches very oftern (like, once every 2 weeks) which changes many of the stats, etc. of the champion, and it is not possible for me to keep manually updating these every time there is a patch. Fortunately, there is a League of Legends Wiki which has all the data I need in their specific champion pages, which they keep updated per patch. So I was wondering if there was any way to get the data from the divs in the wiki, and have it display on my site. What I want to do in my website is that whenever someone types a champion's name (in a post or whatever), I want it to display a hover-over dialog with some of the champions details. And a lot of other features such as that. In plain English I need a way to : > Tell PHP to go to the wiki's source code on a specific page > Find a specific div container > Get X data from there > Pass X data into a function to display the hover-over I think this way, I would not have to maintain a database as I can leech off the wiki's data. I have not coded anything like this before, so I would like a few pointers as to how to achieve this. Any help will be appreciated! hello My database is in a same server with seperate domain name , then I want to insert from website1 mysql data on website2 mysql data. can anyone help me? I tried searching on google but couldn't find any relevant information, please redirect me to relevant source or help me with the code. I want to pass a domain name in text field which will be scanned and then the script will display entire site map. Not external links or links on a page. Sorry it is not easy for me to explain. Eg. if i pass abc.com Script will display abc.com/12/adn.php abc.com/asd/asd/ etc Whatever their url format is. All the links on that domain. Is it possible to download files from a website to my online websites root directory? reason I'm asking is because I have been downloading large video files to my computer which take about 20 minutes!! Then I use FTP to upload them to my site but it takes about 2-3 hours per video!! I was looking for a faster way! All help would be great! I know this is not coding.. However... How tolerant is PHP from generating a random output from 1000s of entry columns in a mysql database. I would like to make a script that would potentially pick one of a 1000 results at random. is this a problem with being ran multiple times? Hi Guys, I have a php script to upload a photo to a mysql table. This works great, until someone uploads a file with the same name, then it replaces the old one. Bad times! So Ive researched it and I have put a timestamp on the filename and it uploads with the correct timestamp in the images folder. However the data that it uploads to the table is just the original filename, ie it doesnt stamp the filename in the table therefore they dont match... Any ideas... <?php include('config.php'); if (isset($_GET['Ter']) ) { $ter = (int) $_GET['Ter']; if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) { //Photo Upload //This is the directory where images will be saved $name=time(); $target = "images/"; $target = $target .$name. basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']); //This gets all the other information from the form $photo = ($_FILES['photo']['name']); //Pause Photo Upload foreach($_POST AS $key => $value) { $_POST[$key] = mysql_real_escape_string($value); } $sql= "UPDATE `ter` SET `Ter` = '{$_POST['Ter']}' , `BranchName` = '{$_POST['BranchName']}' , `BranchAddress` = '{$_POST['BranchAddress']}' , `BranchTel` = '{$_POST['BranchTel']}' , `BranchEmail` = '{$_POST['BranchEmail']}' , `BranchLink` = '{$_POST['BranchLink']}' , `Theme` = '{$_POST['Theme']}' , `LocalInfo` = '{$_POST['LocalInfo']}' , `BranchInfo` = '{$_POST['BranchInfo']}' , `photo` = '{$_FILES['photo']['name']}' WHERE `Ter` = '$ter' "; mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); //Unpause Photo Upload //Writes the photo to the server if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target)) { //Tells you if its all ok echo "<br />The file ". basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']). " has been uploaded. <br />"; } else { //Gives and error if its not echo ""; } //End of Photo Upload echo (mysql_affected_rows()) ? "<br />Edited Branch.<br />" : "<br />Nothing changed. <br />"; } $row = mysql_fetch_array ( mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `ter` WHERE `Ter` = '$ter' ")); ?> How would I make it so that for every set of data where a fieldname is 1+ it picks a random one out. For example User Hit Luke 0 Peter 1 Alex 3 Peter 1 For every value where Hit is 1 or over it selects out of the query results a random username. I'm just searching for some input on a function I saw and wanted someone who could explain to me what this function would mean. As I have the same db structure and was curious specifically to know what sort of values I should have inside of the fields for varcharfield and textfield. function customfieldinput($fedid,$id,$groupid,$styleid) { $query = "SELECT field.id as getfieldid, field.is_custom as getiscustom, field.fullname as getfullname, customfields.id as getcustomfieldid, customfields.varcharfield as getvarchar, customfields.textfield as gettext FROM efed_list_fields as field LEFT JOIN efed_content_customfields as customfields ON ( field.id = customfields.field_id and customfields.character_id = '$id' ) WHERE field.fed_id = '$fedid' and field.style_id = '$styleid' and field.group_id = '$groupid' and field.enabled = '1' and field.is_custom > '0' ORDER BY field.is_custom,field.fullname"; $result = mysql_query ($query); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $fieldarray=array('getfieldid','getiscustom','getfullname','getvarchar','gettext','getcustomfieldid'); foreach ($fieldarray as $fieldlabel) { if (isset($row[$fieldlabel])) { $$fieldlabel=$row[$fieldlabel]; $$fieldlabel=cleanquerydata($$fieldlabel); } } if ((isset($getcustomfieldid)) && ($getcustomfieldid > "0")) { $update = "update"; } else { $update = "new"; } if ($getiscustom == "1") { print "<tr>\n"; print "<td width=120 class=rowheading>".$getfullname.":</td>"; print "<td class=row3><textarea name=\"custom".$getfieldid.$update."\" class=\"textarea490x100\">"; if ((isset($gettext)) && ($gettext != "")) { print $gettext; } print "</textarea></td>\n"; print "</tr>\n\n"; } else { print "<tr>\n"; print "<td width=120 class=rowheading>".$getfullname.":</td>"; print "<td class=row3><input type=text name=\"custom".$getfieldid.$update."\" class=fieldtext490"; if ((isset($getvarchar)) && ($getvarchar != "")) { print " value=\"".$getvarchar."\""; } print "></td>\n"; print "</tr>\n\n"; } if (isset($getcustomfieldid)) { unset ($getcustomfieldid); } if (isset($getvarchar)) { unset ($getvarchar); } if (isset($gettext)) { unset ($gettext); } } } Okay, minor issue, but not sure how to resolve. I have a form that processes through PHP and has it's fields validated with JS and sends the data to an e-mail address and a database. It works fine, but there are random times where a submitted entry will show up blank in the e-mail and not be in the database at all, any ideas on what might be causing this? Thanks. here is the database: its a facebook app i want that my sql will choose every time random but considerate in the sex parameter. i mean that if the user is boy i will put it in parameter and boys is num-1 girls-0 and if the user is boy it will run random sql just on the boys and if its girls so random on the girls here what i did: $sql = "SELECT * FROM pcm ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1"; $Recordset3 = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); $row2 = mysql_fetch_object($Recordset3); print_r($row2); but for some reason i get an error that the database is not selected maybe i didnt select my database right? please help tnx.... hello, i am trying to see how i can pick a random number between 1-15 and exclude certain numbers. so i have a staff list that once a random number is created it inserts it into the staffnumber field. so the next time i create a random number for a staff, i want to make sure that the random number doesnt select an existing staffnumber. thanks! is there a way to make a random number input into mysql? like if i add a new customer to a table, i want to assign a random number to that customer. |
