PHP - Execution Of Javascript Function Prevents Subsequent Uses Of Separate Jquery Ui

but never on the first call.  Okay, I posted this on StackOverflow but no one there seems to have an answer either.  I have this simple function:

Code: [Select]
public function delete($messageID) {
$type = $this->findType($messageID);
if ($type == 'in') {
foreach ($this->inArr as $key => $value) {
if ($this->inArr[$key]->messageID != $messageID)
$implodeData[$key] = $this->inArr[$key]->messageID;
}
if (!isset($implodeData))
$imploded = '0';
else
$imploded = implode(',', $implodeData);
$result = $this->_database->updatePMUser('inArr', $imploded, 'UID', $this->UID);
$result2 = $this->_database->deletePM('messageID', $messageID);
return;
}
else {
foreach ($this->sentArr as $key => $value) {
if ($this->sentArr[$key]->messageID != $messageID)
$implodeData[$key] = $this->sentArr[$key]->messageID;
}
if (!isset($implodeData))
$imploded = '0';
else
$imploded = implode(',', $implodeData);
$result = $this->_database->updatePMUser('sentArr', $imploded, 'UID', $this->UID);
$result2 = $this->_database->deletePM('messageID', $messageID);
return;
}
}
It is a delete function for a private messaging program for a forum script I'm writing.  Anyway, here's the issue - it works!  But only sometimes.  It is called in 3 different places, always from a form processing class I have, once in the view message section to delete a message you're viewing, in a foreach from the sentbox options section and then a foreach in the inbox options section.  The inbox and sentbox option sections do that whole "delete the checked messages" for the mass removal functionality.  The delete function above works in all ways shapes and forms when I use it in single calls - like when I'm deleting a message while viewing it or when I only check one message from the inbox, etc - but when I call it multiple times (as in I have checked multiple messages) - it fully deletes one (both the message and the reference to the message in the user's db row) and then only deletes the actual message on the others (deleting the message is the call to deletePM - deleting the reference is the call to updatePMUser).

Okay, if you need further information - the function above checks the type the message is (in the inbox or in the sentbox) and then uses that to foreach through that array (inArr or sentArr) of the user.  It logs in all the messageIDs of the those that DON'T match the one we're deleting and then at the end it implodes those caught IDs into a string that is then updated in the user's row as a comma separated string of values each representing a message in the DB - you get the picture.  I realize I have some trimming to do (for one I can cut the above function down by about half by using variable variables) but I'll get to that after I get the thing working.  I can't figure out why it's doing what it's doing.  If you need the function that calls this in the foreach, I have it below.  Oh, and the thing that really boggles me is that this function is called fully for each checked message in the foreach - it fully returns and then loops - if it works once, I don't see how it wouldn't work on a second call from a loop - the variables it uses should be trashed when it leaves the function, they aren't global or object properties or anything.  Color me confused.

Thanks for any help, oh, here's one of the functions that calls it to delete checked messages (this one is for the sentbox, there is another for the inbox):

Code: [Select]
private function _processSelectedSent() {
$pmObj = unserialize(base64_decode($_POST['pmObj']));
$i=1;
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
if ($value == 'marked') {
$checkedArray[$i] = $key;
$i++;
}
}
if ($_POST['submitter'] == 'Delete Selected') {
if (is_array($checkedArray)) {
foreach ($checkedArray as $key => $value)
$pmObj->delete($value);
}
else
$pmObj->delete($checkedArray[1]);
header("Location: ".HOME_PAGE.PM_PAGE."?view=sentbox&nocache=".time());
}
}

Hello !   First of all, I'm a newbie in php and english isn't my native language.   My website : -index.php where the user create his account -signup.php where every test are made, then if succesfull will create the user in the database. The code bellow will be from signup.php. Variables in $_post comes from index.php.
  DB connect <? php $bdd = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=lolstats', 'martin', '');
$bdd->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);     Tests :     // Testing if every variables are existing     If (Isset($_POST['sign_password']) AND ($_POST['sign_pseudo']) AND ($_POST['sign_email']) AND ($_POST['sign_password2']) )
    {
            $email= $_POST['sign_email'] ;
            $user= $_POST['sign_pseudo'] ;
            $test = $bdd->prepare('SELECT pseudo FROM membres WHERE pseudo= ? OR email = ?  ') ;
            $test -> execute(array ( $user, $email) );
        while ($test_test=$test->fetch()) {                 // testing if the user is already in the database
                if ( $test_test === NULL ) {                     // testing if the password match
                    if ( ($_POST['sign_password']) == ($_POST['sign_password2']) ){
                        // Crypting
                        $pass_hache = sha1($_POST['sign_password']);
                        // Insert
                        $test->closeCursor();
                        $req = $bdd->prepare('INSERT INTO membres (pseudo, pass, email, date_inscription) VALUES(?, ?, ?, sysdate())');
                        $req->execute(array($_POST['sign_pseudo'], $pass_hache, $_POST['sign_email']));
                        echo '<p> Account Created ! </p>' ;
                    }
                    ELSE {
                            echo '<p>Non matching passwords</p>' ;
                            
                    }
                }
                ELSE {
                        echo '<p>User / Email already in used' ;
                }
        }
    }
    ELSE {
    echo '<p>Please, enter every information needed</p>';
    }
    
        
?>       The line in red is where I think the problem is. So, let's say $test_test <> NULL, then the else function just fine.             ELSE {
                        echo '<p>User / Email already in used' ;
                }   But it seems like I never goes "inside" the $test_test == NULL. I'm saying that because the next if is working fine if I test it alone, but once put inside the if == NULL, it doesn't work anymore.   I hope I made myself clear, please ask if there are some logic you don't understand in my code.   Thanks.

If I create a page called cron.php with scripts that I want to run once a day, and set up my server to run that once a day, what prevents people other than me or my server, from being able to just type in the link "http://MyWebsite.com/cron.php" and cause my cron page to run? isn't this a security issue?

I have a script that will export data to excel. After the export, I need the page to reload showing status information, but it does not reload.

What could be causing an issue like this? I think that because the export forced the download file dialogue to open, those headers may be preventing the form from reloading properly, but how, why, and what can be done to resolve the issue?

Whenever I want to use AJAX (using jQuery) I store the PHP code in a seperate file and then send an retrieve data from that file using AJAX.  However I was wondering if you can just call a PHP function.  Then it would save me having to put each function in a seperate file?

Thanks for any help.
