PHP - 301 Redirect Using Htacess If Condition Is True

$looponce = 1;
foreach ($this->info as $k => $v) {
if ( (($k == 'subject') && ($v['required'])) && (!$this->settings['customSubject'])) {
for ($i = 0; $i <= 0; $i++) {
$output[] = $this->display_errors('error_system_subject');
}
}
if ( (($k == 'name') && (!$v['required'])) || ((!array_key_exists("name", $this->info)) && ($looponce == 1)) ) {
$output[] = $this->display_errors('error_system_name');
$looponce++;
}
}

That is my loop that i check things in. What i'm more interested in is the name if statement.

If currently checks for a name key in an array(below) and makes sure that it is set to required. If it's not set to required, print out a system error and die()'s.

I'm looking for ways to remove the need for program errors and just change them to what is needed to run.

What i know how to do is, get into the inner array, what i don't know is how to edit the data and put it back exactly as it was given to me. The inner array data can be put back in any order, but the outer array must be in exact order as it was given.


above code $this->info = $formdata;

$formdata = array(
'name' => array('name'=>"Full Name", 'required'=>false, 'type'=>'text'), # This needs to be required=>true, but i can't trust the user, which is why i have the error.
'telephone' => array('name'=>"Telephone", 'required'=>false, 'type'=>'phone'),
);


Any help is greatly appreciated, also am i doing the foreach loop in the code above in an efficient manner or is there another way?

I have this if statement with validations and mysql query

Code: [Select]
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$errors = array();

$required_fields = array('menu_name', 'position', 'visible');

foreach($required_fields as $fieldname)
{
if(!isset($_POST[$fieldname]) || (empty($_POST[$fieldname]) && $_POST[$fieldname] != 0))
{
$errors[] = $fieldname;
}
}

$fields_with_length = array('menu_name' => 30);

foreach($fields_with_length as $fieldname => $maxlength)
{
if (strlen(trim(mysql_prep($_POST[$fieldname]))) > $maxlength)
{
$errors[] = $fieldname;
}
}


if(empty($errors))
{
//Perform Update

$id = mysql_prep($_GET['subj']);
$menu_name = mysql_prep($_POST['menu_name']);
$position = mysql_prep($_POST['position']);
$visible = mysql_prep($_POST['visible']);


$query = "UPDATE subjects SET menu_name = '{$menu_name}', position = {$position}, visible = {$visible} WHERE id = {$id}";

$result = mysql_query($query, $connection);
if(mysql_affected_rows() == 1)
{
//success
$message = "Record has been successfuly updated!";
}
else
{
//failed
$message = "The subject update failed";
$message .= "<br>". mysql_error();
}

}
else
{
//Error Occured
$message = "There were ". count($errors) . " error in the form";
}


}

?>


I'm having problem on this line

Code: [Select]
<?php
if(!isset($_POST[$fieldname]) || (empty($_POST[$fieldname]) && $_POST[$fieldname] != 0))
?>

this line is for validation of my radio button which has a 0 and 1 value.

Quote

&& $_POST[$fieldname] != 0




Eventhough the textbox is not set and is empty, it's still bypassing my if statement and still executing the update query...

Apart from the fact this can cause an infinite loop is it OK to use?

$user->reset_token = $user->generate_password(32);

// Make sure the token is unique
while(TRUE)
{
$count = ORM::factory('manager')->where('reset_token', '=', $user->reset_token)->count_all();
if($count < 1) break;

$user->reset_token = $user->generate_password(32);
}

Or would you approach the logic for this differently?

Thoughts appreciated. Cheers

Is there any reason why I would want to use this...

Code: [Select]
$_SESSION['loggedIn'] = TRUE;
versus this...

Code: [Select]
$_SESSION['loggedIn'] = 1;
(The first one is easier to read...)


Debbie

I am wondering if these "true" values are the same to PHP...
Code: [Select]
<a href="' . BASE_URL . 'members/log_in.php?addComment=true">Log In</a>


Code: [Select]
if (isset($_GET['addComment']) && ($_GET['addComment']==TRUE)){


Debbie

if u use this for one condition

if ($nr > 5)

how would u check if the nr is between 5 and 50

thanks !

this code works fine if the conditions are absolute ( pass, fail or empty). im trying to make the fail work if its part of the query. ive tried %fail% but didnt work.

$choice = strtoupper($rows['comments']);
if($choice == "PASS"){  
$bgc = "#ff25f0" ; }    
elseif($choice == "FAIL"){
$bgc = "#666666" ;   
}else{
$bgc = "#FF6600" ; }

Thank you

Code: [Select]
if($this->color=="Blue" || $this->color=="Green" || $this->color=="Red" || $this->color=="Yellow") {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}

This is returning false, when it should be returning true because $this->color DOES equal "Red"...
I can NEVER EVER get these conditional things to work UNLESS it's &&, but I even tried:
!$this->color != "Red" && .........

as well to see if that would work even though that's really confusing.

Can someone help me finally understand this stupid OR stuff?

        }
        else{
            echo '';
        }
?>

for display data if total = min.

The problem is, in this condition he satisfied if condition even though $total is not equal to $P28_min.

Thank you

Can someone please tell me what i have got wrong here?

I am trying to return value C if conditions a AND B are met or return value D.  Not sure if its parenthesis or something else?

<?php if (($row_Recordset4['multidirection']=="yes") &&
($_POST["widthcheck"] < $row_Recordset4['drop'])) echo $row_Recordset4['width'];else echo $row_Recordset4['drop'] ?>

Thanks

$month=$_GET['month'];

Just a silly question.  I've been using 1 and 0 to tell if something is true or false, such as if a feature is enabled or not.  I see that some use the words true and false.  Is there a proper way or is either way correct?  Thanks!

Hello,
I am making a full backup of cPanel account.
It takes few seconds for zipping 4 to 10 MB of data but when there are more than 200 MB of data on cpanel account, obviously it will take some more time, say for example 2 minutes.

On cpanel based servers, while zipping, it temporarily creates a ZIP file of 33KB
And this file's size stays at 33KB until the process get completed i.e. till it completes a backup file



So conditionCHK is >> If example.zip > 33KB

then, backup ZIP file is ready

else
sleep(15) and check conditionCHK again

Point is that, it should check condition again and again until it satisfy.
So in my case, it script will check again and again whether example.zip has become more than 33KB or not.
If it not, then sleep for 15 seconds and again check
Once condition will satisfy, it will show "Success"

Which loop can I use here ? I am totally confused in developing a logic.
Thanks.
