PHP - Force Lower Case

Is there any way to access a variable that is not assigned until further down the page eg:

echo $myname;

$myname = 'batman'; // clearly my real name which is why I am so poor at coding

Thanks 

Hi, I have the following code:

Code: [Select]
case "Twitter";
        echo 'Twitter gadget will show here';
   break;

I  need to make it so it's like this:

Code: [Select]
case "Twitter" AND $member['top'] == "1"
echo "Twitter Gadget will show here";
break;

I need to add a IF onto the CASE is it possible?

Thank you.

hey guys im having a few problems with my query if anyone can please help...the two problems im having is   1.the total price returning as 00106. price = 100.00 and p_and_p = 6.00 in the database...im after a figure that looks like 106.00   2. @category will be a parameter like :category which will be binded to a value like 'al'l, 'videos', 'dvd's', but if the parameter is ALL i dont want to join my categories table allowing it to select all rows regardless of the category   any help, pointer would be truly appreciated...thank you

SELECT @category := 'Videos',
		         i.item_id, 
		         i.title, 
		         i.price,
		         i.p_and_p,
		         SUM(i.price + i.p_and_p) AS `total_price`,
		         i.listing,
		         i.condition,
		         CONVERT_TZ(DATE_ADD(i.start_date_time, INTERVAL concat(i.listing_duration) DAY), '+00:00', u.time_zone) AS `end_date_time`
		  FROM items i
		  LEFT JOIN sub_categories sc ON sc.sub_category_id = i.sub_category_id
  		  CASE @category != 'All'
          THEN 
		  LEFT JOIN categories c ON c.name = 'Videos'
          END CASE		
		  JOIN users u
		  WHERE u.user_id = '7'
		  AND MATCH (i.title, i.description) AGAINST ('bla' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
		  AND i.start_date_time < NOW() 
		  AND DATE_ADD(i.start_date_time, INTERVAL concat(i.listing_duration) DAY) >= NOW()
		  GROUP BY i.i

Anyone know how to force URL with SSL with www.  

 <rewrite>
            <rules>               
                  <rule name="Redirect to HTTPS" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions><add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.site.com/{R:0}" redirectType="SeeOther" />
</rule>       
            </rules>
 </rewrite>

Please check the sample.
 

I'm trying to force a NULL value into the database with a hidden value and I can't seem to get it to work.

Any suggestions?

<input type="hidden" name="inactive" value=""/>


I also tried here too:

$sql="UPDATE product SET inactive='NULL' WHERE id = '$item_id'";

Is there a way so when someone loads your website that it forces them to load it in a different browser?

How do I make the username and password checking CASE SENSITIVE?

$result=sprintf("SELECT * FROM  db WHERE username = '%s' AND watchword ='%s'", mysql_real_escape_string($username), mysql_real_escape_string($password));

Thanks.

i've read and seen there are variations of what im trying to achieve but havent seen a exact example...what im trying to do is put a where clause in my query depending on if a set variable has a value

CASE WHEN (@category_id IS NOT NULL)
THEN
LEFT JOIN sub_categories sc ON sc.sub_category_id = i.sub_category_id
JOIN categories c ON c.category_id = sc.category_id AND c.category_id = :category_id
END

is this possible or have i just got the syntax wrong somewhere...thank you guys

can i do something like this?

Code: [Select]
<?php
switch ($i) {
    case 0:
        echo "i equals 0";?>
////////////// html stuff ////////
<?php
        break;
    case 1:
        echo "i equals 1"; ?>
///////////////////html stuff//////////////
<?php
        break;
    case 2:
        echo "i equals 2"; ?>
////////////html stuff///////////////
<?php
        break;
}
?>

I need to make the following code work without case sensitivity.  For example, if this was processed, I would like for $message to be changed from

"Stupid is not a nice word. Ugly is not nice either."

to

"unintelligent is not a nice word. unattractive is not nice either."

For my purposes, I don't care that the capitalization changes, I just need the $goodwords to be replaced with the $badwords regardless of capitalization.

Any ideas here?

Code: [Select]
<?php

$message = "Stupid is not a nice word. Ugly is not nice either.";

$badwords = array("stupid", "ugly");
$goodwords = array("unintelligent", "unattractive" );

$message = str_replace($badwords, $goodwords, $message);

?>

hi,

i just wanted to know...

$arr[0] $arr[1] $arr[2] also this $arr[1] would be called a value, but how are the numbers 0,1 and 2 called? are that keys?

didn't know where else to post this question.

<?php $totalcreditstd = $row_rsCreditPurchaseMoney['SUM(quantity)']; $totalcreditsdollar = $totalcreditstd * $Mutliplier; echo $totalcreditsdollar; ?>

I'm using the above calculation to display a total amount.
Problem is that if the calculation total is 7.5 I want it to show up as 7.50 I want to force the second number. How can I do that? Thanks.

Is there any way to have php filter out negitive numbers where it counts it as zero instead?
so the math im doing in a string can never go negitive

been looking online for a hour cant seem to find anything that does this.

I am not a programmer, but I'm a webmaster facing a problem.

I have a website and people are hotlinking to my .swf files. I do not want to stop all hotlinking though, instead is what I want to do, and want to know if it's possible to do, is this:

Can I get it so that people that hotlink to flash files, get an ad before the flash loads, without editing the "real" .swf?

For example:
1. I post the actual .swf file to my site.
2. Then someone embeds a direct link to that .swf file on their site or blog, etc.
3. My server, when serving .swf files realizes when the .swf file isn't coming from my domain.
4. It makes the direct .swf embed be an embed to a wrapper (I think is what it would be called) type of flash file that has an ad and a start button.
5. The real .swf file is loaded on the external domain once the start button is clicked in the "wrapper".

Few questions:
1. So again, my question is this, is something like this possible, so I can gain some money from those sites ALREADY hotlinking to the .swf files on my server?
2. If this isn't possible to get on already previous hotlinked .swf files, is something like the example mentioned above possible from a new start, so that when people link to an .swf file on my site, they think they're getting the file, but in reality they're getting the wrapper that displays the ad first, and then it calls the real .swf file?
3.I am not currently looking for a programmer to do this work, but I am interested in a rough estimate so I can make plans on how I should proceed for my current problem.

Thanks for any input you can provide me with on this subject. Sorry if this is more about flash programming than php programming, I don't know how it would be programmed.
