PHP - Any Ideas On How I Would Write Html <img> Into Php

Hello everyone

I want to know why are these functions discouraged because I have a problem

I have a long list of standard features of some products (90 features 1800 products) which I am integrating in a CMS. I have to elaborate a CREATE, READ and MODIFY section for the products and I was thinking of using check boxes and if statements with 90 columns in my DB for each feature. (I hope there is an easier way to do this)

Before I typed in all the features in one column and splited it with the previous functions mentioned, but it doesn't work for the modify section of the CMS.

I am trying to learn a method in which I can easily integrate this 90 standard features in the CMS. Does anyone has a good idea?

So this is a bit of a puzzler for me? I have a code that takes a form submit and chucks it to a DB that all works fine but the second part is it also takes the submit and sends it to a email. now this is the crazy part it works fine 80% of the time but some times it sends back a blank email or one that is only hafe there, but still all shows fine in the DB and I have been trying to work this out for 5 days now and ..... nothing worked and I am lost for any ideas on what it could be 

I'm in the process of making a PHP/MYSQL game and I'm trying to figure out the best way to set the database up specifically to deal with items.

All day I have been wrestling with how to do this. How do I link items to players?  How do I keep track of who has what items?

I know this question isn't at all specific sorry for that, it's hard to explain exactly what I mean thought text.

Thanks

I'm just looking for some tips here. I am developing and selling an eccommerce shopping cart software package, and it has been received very well from the early adopters. There's just one small problem that prevents the software from being a truly out-of-the-box solution: the include path. Not all users have access to their php.ini file, and it's not always a php.ini file anyway. So this is something the installation is unable to set for the customer.

I'm using object-oriented PHP5 stuff, so I have a folder named "classes" with all the relevant stuff in there. I am unable to search for paths to the folder and hard-code those into source files (there are ajax calls and other fun stuff; hard to know the exact relation to the path).

I guess I could use set_include_path on the top of a bunch of files, but that is a small performance hit (and totally inelegant code). I could put the folder path in the database somewhere and query for it (and cache it so it's not a performance hit). None of this stuff seems good. The path seems like the best solution.

Unless you have better ideas....

Hi all,


I've been trying to improve the speed of my file download script and was wondering if anyone could advise me which of the following is more efficient (Don't worry its not the whole script, just one segment), in terms of speed and server load?

The way I have the segment currently:

//if file exists need to check authorision levels

//set access to no

$access = NULL;

//retrieve current user levels

$cpm = $_SESSION['MM_CPMGroup'];

$cpmh = $_SESSION['MM_CPMHGroup'];

$cm = $_SESSION['MM_CMGroup'];

$cj200 = $_SESSION['MM_CJ200Group'];

$cj = $_SESSION['MM_CJGroup'];

//set file category type & set access if allowed

if ($category == 'cpm') {

if ($cpm == '1') {

$access = 1;

if ($subcategory == 'techdata') {

$path = "files/techdata/cpm/";

}

elseif ($subcategory == 'msds') {

$path = "files/techdata/cpm/msds/";

}

elseif ($subcategory == 'symbols') {

$path = "files/symbols/cpm/";

}

else {

$path = "files/cpm/";

}

}

}

elseif ($category == 'cpmh') {

if ($cpmh == '1') {

$access = 1;

if ($subcategory == 'techdata') {

$path = "files/techdata/cpmh/";

}

elseif ($subcategory == 'msds') {

$path = "files/techdata/cpmh/msds/";

}

elseif ($subcategory == 'symbols') {

$path = "files/symbols/cpmh/";

}

else {

$path = "files/cpmh/";

}

}

}

elseif ($category == 'cm') {

if ($cm == '1') {

$access = 1;

if ($subcategory == 'techdata') {

$path = "files/techdata/cm/";

}

elseif ($subcategory == 'msds') {

$path = "files/techdata/cm/msds/";

}

elseif ($subcategory == 'symbols') {

$path = "files/symbols/cm/";

}

else {

$path = "files/cm/";

}

}

}

elseif ($category == 'cj200') {

if ($cj200 == '1') {

$access = 1;

if ($subcategory == 'techdata') {

$path = "files/techdata/cj200/";

}

elseif ($subcategory == 'msds') {

$path = "files/techdata/cj200/msds/";

}

elseif ($subcategory == 'symbols') {

$path = "files/symbols/cj200/";

}

else {

$path = "files/cj200/";

}

}

}

elseif ($category == 'cj') {

if ($cj == '1') {

$access = 1;

if ($subcategory == 'techdata') {

$path = "files/techdata/cj/";

}

elseif ($subcategory == 'msds') {

$path = "files/techdata/cj/msds/";

}

elseif ($subcategory == 'symbols') {

$path = "files/symbols/cj/";

}

else {

$path = "files/cj/";

}

}

}

if ($access < 1) {

// if user access not granted to file category return message

if($logging > 0){

$status = "Wrong Permissions";

include('logit.php');

}

if (! $_SESSION['PrevUrl']) {

//header("Location: ". $loginpage );

exit;

}

$redirect = $_SESSION['PrevUrl'];

header("Location: ". $redirect );

exit;

}

// if file exists and user access granted continue


Obviously the above is a lot of lines of code... So I have rewritten the above to look like:


//if file exists need to check authorision levels & retrieve current user levels

if ($category == 'cpm' && $_SESSION['MM_CPMGroup'] == '1') {

$access = 1;

} elseif ($category == 'cpmh' && $cpmh = $_SESSION['MM_CPMHGroup'] == '1') {

$access = 1;

} elseif ($category == 'cm' && $cm = $_SESSION['MM_CMGroup'] == '1') {

$access = 1;

} elseif ($category == 'cj200' && $_SESSION['MM_CJ200Group'] == '1') {

$access = 1;

} elseif ($category == 'cj' && $_SESSION['MM_CJGroup'] == '1') {

$access = 1;

} else {

$access = NULL;

}

if ($access == NULL) {

// if user access not granted to file category return message

$status = "Unauthorised";

include('logit.php');

header("Location: ".$_SESSION['PrevUrl']);

exit;

}

// if file exists and user access granted continue

switch($subcategory) {

case "techdata":$path="files/techdata/".$category."/".$filename; break;

case "msds":

$path="files/techdata/".$category."/msds/".$filename; break;

case "symbols":

$path="files/symbols/".$category."/".$filename; break;

default:

$path="files/".$category."/".$filename;

}


The second version is a lot shorter, but is it better? And could I shorten the if statement further so its more like:


//if file exists need to check authorision levels & retrieve current user levels

if (($category == 'cpm' && $_SESSION['MM_CPMGroup'] == '1') || ($category == 'cpmh' && $cpmh = $_SESSION['MM_CPMHGroup'] == '1') || ($category == 'cm' && $cm = $_SESSION['MM_CMGroup'] == '1') || ($category == 'cj200' && $_SESSION['MM_CJ200Group'] == '1') || ($category == 'cj' && $_SESSION['MM_CJGroup'] == '1') {

$access = 1;

} else {

$access = NULL;

}

if ($access == NULL) {

// if user access not granted to file category return message

$status = "Unauthorised";

include('logit.php');

header("Location: ".$_SESSION['PrevUrl']);

exit;

}

// if file exists and user access granted continue

switch($subcategory) {

case "techdata":$path="files/techdata/".$category."/".$filename; break;

case "msds":

$path="files/techdata/".$category."/msds/".$filename; break;

case "symbols":

$path="files/symbols/".$category."/".$filename; break;

default:

$path="files/".$category."/".$filename;

}


Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!!

ok so for the second issue of the night, has anyone used lightbox with images that are fetched from a database (mysql)??

i have the following but it opens at the bottom of the page and not in a lightbox...

echo '<a href="' . $row['image'] . '" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]"><img src="' . $row['image'] . '" width="100" alt=""></a>';

Hi, I would like to generate a constant value that change from a website to website but have an identical value for a single website. For example 

$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']

doesn't change for a single website, but easy to guess. an other idea is 

realpath(dirname(__FILE__))

but this can change if the web application execute scripts located in sub directories of the main script that use this variable. So what other possibilities to get a constant value that doesn't change ?   Thank you.

Hello Friends,

Iam in a little bit confused matter. Iam developing a website & it requires a user's banning system too so my question begin here that if i use user's IP to ban but they can easy access the website by using different proxy sites & almost ip address are dynamic not static.
Banning their email is waste thing because they can create a new email within 1min.

Anyone have experiences in these things ? How we can ban a user permanently from accessing the website ?

Hey guys I have a few pages where im echoing in one row at a time. Like for a email system. I want to color in every other row with CSS.
since im echoing in one row at a time i cant place a class on every other row saying which one is even or odd. wondering what are some ideas on how to do this.

One idea i had was maybe assign a number to each row then maybe a php math function to find if a number is odd or even? like to know if there is a correct or standard way to do this.
typed a small little example below

           $list3 = "SELECT message FROM pm WHERE id = '".($_SESSION['user_id'])."'";
           $list2 = mysql_query($list3) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
while ($list = mysql_fetch_assoc($list2)) { 
?>

<td class="odd"><?php echo $list['message']; ?></td> 

<?php } ?>

A picture to show what I mean by coloring every other row

Hello

I am having problems setting some security to a prize page on my website.
What I need, is to make sure that a user cannot just refresh and get the price again.
The price page is loaded in a frame so redirection is no good, and that doesn't stop the user from just hitting the "back" button and then refresh.


Anyone have an idea how to do this the simple way?

We're running a foreclosure bid service that sends a lot of email status notifications. (ie bid received, high number, outbid, sale results etc)

Most days it works great. However, occasionally, there are a handful of emails that people claim they never got. I have a log file I write to immediately after the mail function. It is not conditioned on the return var... it just writes the mail vars to the log. So according to the log it APPEARS that all the emails were sent.

I've asked the host to check if there are any smtp errors. He says he doesn't see any.

So..... is there a best practice for attempting to send again on failure?

Should I just try a few times if it returns false?
Should I write it all to the db, use a pending/success flag and cron to work through the pendings? That way it continues to attempt failures and I can run a failure report.

I don't know. Any bright ideas?
