PHP - Should You Hide .php ?

Hi guys

I would like one of you to help me. I have a bit of trouble with the echo, where I don't want to print out on the php page. The echo that I don't want to print out on my page is "The information have already been updated in the database". I don't want to get rid of them, but I want to hide them in the php unless I update some information using with the methods through $username and $name.

Here's the code:

<?php
session_start();
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
    define('DB_USER', 'myuser');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypass');
    define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydbname');
       
    $errmsg_arr = array();
    $errflag = false;

    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
    if(!$link) {
  die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE);
    if(!$db) {
  die("Unable to select database");
    }

   function clean($var){

return mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($var));
    }
    $username = clean($_GET['user']);
    $password = clean($_GET['pass']);
    $user = clean($_GET['user']);
    $image = clean($_GET['image']);
    $name = clean($_GET['name']);
    if($username == '') {
  $errmsg_arr[] = 'username ID missing';
  $errflag = true;
    }
    if($password == '') {
  $errmsg_arr[] = 'PASSWORD ID missing';
  $errflag = true;
    }

    if($errflag) {
  $_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr;
  echo implode('<br />',$errmsg_arr);
   }
   else {
  $qry="SELECT * FROM members WHERE username='$username' AND passwd='$password'";
  $result=mysql_query($qry) or die('Error:<br />' . $qry . '<br />' . mysql_error());


if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
  $qrytable1="SELECT id, image, name FROM favorites WHERE username='$username'";
  $result1=mysql_query($qrytable1) or die('Error:<br />' . $qry . '<br />' . mysql_error());
  $row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
  echo "The information have already been updated in the database";
   }
  else {

if(isset($_GET['user'])) {
    $insert[] = 'username = \'' . clean($_GET['user']) .'\'';    
   }
  if(isset($_GET['image'])) {
    $insert[] = 'image = \'' . clean($_GET['image']) . '\'';
   }
  if(isset($_GET['name'])) {
    $insert[] = 'name = \'' . clean($_GET['name']) . '\'';
   }
   $names = implode(',',$insert);
   $sql = "INSERT INTO favorites (username, image, name) VALUES ('$user','$image','$name')";

if (!mysql_query($sql,$link))
  {
  die('<br>Error: ' . mysql_error() . "<br>Query: $sql" );
  }
echo "The information have been updated.";
  }

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) {
  echo "<p id='image'>";
  echo $row['image'] . "</p>";
  echo "<p id='name'>";
  echo $row['name'] . "</p>";
  echo '<p id="delete"> <a href="delete.php?id='.$row['id'].'">Delete</a></td>';
  }
 }
?> 


Any advise would be much appreicate.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi, I have a question, just to satisfy my curiosity.

How do people hide their copyright text or links? For example there are a lot of free source like joomla extension with their signature on the bottom. I wanted once to remove a text of copyright from a php script, but i couldn't find it. I even use kind of search word in files software.

Ok.. I stopped looking for it, but I'm still curious. How do they do that? Do they include from outside the scirpt?

It is possible to hide the data in the url?!

I have something like this: ?action=viewArticle&articleid=1

Hi all

I know this contains a bit of JavaScript but it comes from some dynamically created pages using php which are causing it an issue.

Here's my scenario.  I have a DB with locations, regions, jobtitles and names in it.

My users can select from the DB a specific job title or a location.
This can produce a report of information from a couple of people, up to over 100 (who can still be filtered by any of the above DB columns)
I want to dynamically produce some JS buttons to show / hide any sections which are irrelevant to the user.

eg  I select by job title, it gives me all the managers, duty managers, staff, cleaners, etc from the DB for all locations.  I then want  5 buttons to be on the page, each with a different region on it. (this I can do)  I can dynamically label the divs around each of the user information.

The issue I have is making the buttons do what I want.  So if you press a button labelled "North West" it hides all records which are not from northwest region.

Here's what I have so far, I just can't seem to get the functionality right as I know very little about JS.

Code: [Select]
<script language=javascript type='text/javascript'>

function showdiv(pass) {
var divs = document.getElementsByTagName('div');
for(i=0;i<divs.length;i++){
if(divs[i].id.match(pass)){//if they are 'see' divs
if (document.getElementById) // DOM3 = IE5, NS6
divs[i].style.visibility="visible";// show/hide
else
if (document.layers) // Netscape 4
document.layers[divs[i]].display = 'visible';
else // IE 4
document.all.divs[i].visibility = 'visible';
} else {
if (document.getElementById)
divs[i].style.visibility="hidden";
else
if (document.layers) // Netscape 4
document.divs[i].visibility = 'hidden';
else // IE 4
document.all.divs[i].visibility = 'hidden';
}
}
}

</script>

and then one my php has processed I get a record such as.
Code: [Select]
<div id='NEREGION'>
<table border='1' >
<tr><td colspan='4'>Glasgow </td></tr>
<tr><td colspan='2' >Employee Name : **********</td><td >Employee Number : *****</td><td colspan='2'>Start Date 25th November 2002</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan='3'>&nbsp;</td><td rowspan='3'><img src='image.php?ed=2063&y2007=1&y2008=1&y2009=0&y2010=0&y2011=0&forename=1234&surname=5436' height ='400px' width='350px'></td></tr><tr><td colspan='2'>20th June 2007</td><td> NFR Petrol Delivery - Refresher Course</td></tr><tr><td colspan='2'>2nd December 2008</td><td> Incremental Sales</td></tr></table></div>

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Relitively new to PHP but am trying to code a site that dynamically creates urls using Joomla CMS. Basically I'd like a div to show on pages' url starts /component/.... but hide it if not. The urls of the pages on which the div is to be hidden start /index.php?.

I've tried

Code: [Select]

<?php 

     if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'component') > 0) {
     echo '<div id=\"stuffdiv\">stuff</script></div>';}

?>


only issue is... its always fasle hence the div never shows. If i replace > with >= its always true, and appears on all pages, even those not containing 'component'...

Can someone tell me if this should work or if Im being really stupid?

Thanks in advance! Tom
