PHP - Help With Error In Database User Interface
I built an application for a client of mine using PHPRunner about 3 years ago. It has functioned perfectly right up to today when they notified me that they were unable to Export any records. I have attached the error report that comes up when you run Export function. According to the report it is unable to find a file or path. I have been on to server with FTP client and all the paths, files and contents are present. Can anyone please give me any advise on what might suddenly cause this error after many years. All other functionality of the Database is fine. Many thanks, Carl. Edited August 1, 2019 by wscwt01 Spelling error Similar Tutorials
Query About How To Retrieve A Password From The Database And Compare To The One The User Has Entered
I am just starting out with PHP. I have resorted to doing some custom PHP programming because the plug-INs for a CMS I am using need a little customization. The question I have is very simple and I am sure PHP programmers can answer this instantly. I have successfully declared a global PHP variable. All I need to know how to do for now is how to declare a button or a hyperlink or an input form element such that it can change the assignment of this variable. Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone could help me. I've got a My_SQL database containing articles, a summary for the article and a date. I have a basic CMS system set-up, but I want to create a script that when users sign up to a mail list it forwards the summary and dates of the articles database. If that makes sense? But I only want it to forward the most recent 5 rows. I'm pretty new to PHP and I've been mostly following tutorials thus far, but this is quite specific. Thanks in advance! Hey Everyone, I'm getting this error when I submit my contact form. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home1/user/public_html/contact/process.php on line 22 I got this code from a video on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdsz9Ie6h7I If I made a mistake or TYPO please let me know. Thanks! Here's my code: <?php $emailSubject = 'Contact Form Submission'; $sendto = 'info@mydomain.com'; $nameField = $_Post['name']; $emilField = $_Post['email']; $phoneField = $_Post['phone']; $SubjectField = $_Post['subject']; $messageField = $_Post['message']; $body = <<<EOD <br><hl><br>This Form was submitted from the Domain.com contact page.<br> Name: $name<br> E-Mail: $email<br> Phone: $phone<br> Subject: $subject<br> Message: $message<br> BOD; $headers = "FROM: $email\r\n"; $headers .="Content-Type: text/html\r\n"; $success = mail($sendto, $emailSubject, $body, $headers); ?> I have created a button which when pressed should present the user with their details (whoever is logged in), here is the form code: <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="getdetails.php"> <input type="submit" name="Get Details" value="Get Details" /> </label> </p> </form> Here is the getdetails.php file <?php mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); mysql_select_db("test"); $username = $_POST['textfield']; echo '</br>'; $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM membersdetails WHERE name=`$username` "); while($result = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { //display echo $result['firstname']; echo $result['surname']; } ?> Its not workin at all I have attacthed the error i am getting Any help please? just wandering if this can be done and if so do you know were i can read about this or have any suggestion? i have a database with all are clients data that we store in it. I can now let them log into a php search screen that they can pull data from and see what we have stored. I would like to restrict what info they can pull by the user name they log in with, so they are not pulling other client info when they do the search. the user database and company database are two different ones. they search by box number and i would like to restrict what it pulls up by company name depending on if the user logged in has rites to that company info. so if jane doe logged in and she was a member of soso company when she did a box search she would only see what was from soso company instead of how it is now it pulls from soso, DD, and all the company's. Thanks in advance Hello every body....

I have two tables. Table Name:Users Fields: User_name user_email user_level pwd 2.Reference Fields: refid username origin destination user_name in the users table and the username field in reference fields are common fields. There is user order form.whenever an user places an order, refid field in reference table will be updated.So the user will be provided with an refid Steps: 1.User needs to log in with a valid user id and pwd 2.Once logged in, there will be search, where the user will input the refid which has been provided to him during the time of order placement. 3.Now User is able to view all the details for any refid 3.Up to this we have completed. Query: Now we need to retrieve the details based on the user logged in. For eg: user 'USER A' has been provided with the referenceid '1234' during the time of order placement user 'USER B' has been provided with the referenceid '2468' during the time of order placement When the userA login and enter the refid as '2468' he should not get any details.He should get details only for the reference ids which is assigned to him. I'm making a login area for the hotels in a booking system, where they enter their hotels' information, policy, and room rates but I want to make the room rates when it appears for clients, it appears with a percentage (commission) added to what the Hotel representative will enter So what's better? it should be added in the admin area of the hotels and gets saved in the database with the commission or I should add it in the booking form so the code grab the rate from the database, multiply it by the percentage and echo the result? Unfortunately I have no code for this yet cuz I don;t even know if its possible... I am programming an application that is used by a couple of stores, which could end up being a lot of stores. Anyways, the basis is that the stores would, though a separate application (and therefore separate database) create a username and password, I now want to use this username and password to do the following 1. Allow them to login to my application using the same username and password 2. I want the store the username in a session to pull tables based on the username from my database For instance, a user has the login store123, after loggin in it now pulls the information from the tables store123_items, store123_prices, store123_settings, etc. Now my database will have quite a lot of store###_tables I am, sadly, a noobie to PHP and I do recall seeing an article (somewhere on the net, and I stupidly forgot to bookmark it, knowing I would need it eventually) on how to access multiple databases easily. Now because they are both under my account I can use the same username and password for both, its accessing the MySQL username/password database and storing the info I know I am lacking on how to do it. Any ideas? Before I get into my problem a couple of things. First, this is a work project. My organization cannot afford a full time developer so as a database guy I'm being asked to develop a web based data system using php/html/mysql/javacript/etc. So I am not asking anyone to help me cheat or violate an honor code for a school project. Also I am having to learn PHP on the fly, by the seat of my pants. Second, my organization is using a version of PHP older that 5.5.X and I am powerless to update the version. So I know that some of the syntax I am using has been deprecated in more recent PHP versions. I don't mean to sound snarky or ungrateful but I really need some help solving this problem versus unhelpful comments about deprecated code. Third I am adapting code from the guys at TechStream so H/T to them. Here is what I am trying to build. My office helps other offices in my large organization manage their records through the creation of a file plan. We are currently using a clunky, user-unfriendly Access database that was created back in 2009. I am tasked to transition that Access hoopty into a proper, web-based, user friendly system. The index.php form page consists of 2 parts. You can see the original TechStream demo he http://demo.techstre...ssing-with-PHP/ I've adapted the top part of the form ("Travel Information") for my users to enter information about their office such as Office Name, Office Code, Office Chief, Creator (the user), Status and date. I've adapted the bottom part of the form ("Passenger Details") to be "Folder Details". This is an html table where users can add up to 10000 rows to list all the folders for their office by entering the folder name in the text box and then assign descriptors to each folder using the drop down menus. I've changed the drop down menus to reflect the descriptors we need, i.e. file-series, classification, media type. The user needs the flexibility to add folders as the number of folders will vary between offices. This adding and deleting of folders is accomplished dynamically through a javascript script.js file. Now, here's my problem. When the user clicks submit button that fires a php script that runs an insert into query to place the array data into the backend mysql database. However, when the foreach loop is only inserting the office office from the top portion of the form with the first folder in the bottom portion of the form. In other words let's say the user fills out the top part with his office information and then adds 5 folders into the html table at the botton. The first folder will be inserted into the database table with both office information and folder information. However the subsequent 4 folders will have their folder information inserted into the table but the office information fields will be null. The office information needs to be inserted with each folder the user adds to the html table piece. I suspect that my foreach loop is only capturing that office information on the first iteration of the loop and then flushing or deleting the office information after the first loop. Also, I suspect there is some disconnect between the html table for entering individual folders and the top part of the form that is not in html format. Any help I can get is most welcome. Thanks in advance!

I can log on and of and move through different pages with no problems. My query is how do I output or display the information that is specific to the user which is currently logged on and block access to any other users information. I am quite sure there is a simple solution that is escaping me. If you could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Hi all, I've got a website for an event, each team have their details on a page which are recalled from a SQl database. But I'm wanting to create a password input box for each team, so when they enter the correct password they are taken to a page containing forms where they can edit the team details. Here is the page with the users details on where they anter the password: http://www.wharncliffenetwork.co.uk/wrc/entered/team.php?id=8 I'm not sure how to code it, Can an IF statement be used? Anyone got any pointers? I'f been unsuccessful in finding a tutorial or something similar. Hope that makes sense :S Cheers. Hi everyone! I'm getting the error "Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'crystalair'" (crystalair is the name of my database) whenever I submit my form which inserts a new row to the database table "order". The same happens when I try to retrieve data from the table using select query. However, I can successfully perform operations (select, insert) in my other pages which involves another database table "user". If this is a connection error, how can I successfully perform operations with another table? Also, my connection query does not return an error. I have also checked to make sure my user has been granted "All Privileges" in the phpmyadmin. I've run out of ideas. Can you please help? Thanks a lot. Im trying to create a website where users login, and then when they add a new entry to the database there name is put as the author. This is how my tables are set up.

I want it to just show/submit the authorid of the logged in user. Hi, after following lots of advice and changing to MySqli I am running into a few probs. This is me just probably missing something stupid, I know what I want, but can't figure out what query I should use and where I should place it. All the queries I have tried have failed.
I just need a query that gets the $current_stored_password from the password field on the database, to confirm the last check
elseif ($current_password !== $current_stored_password) { include 'includes/overall/header.php'; echo $current_password . ' AND ' . $_POST['current_password'] . ' Password and password again do not match'; include 'includes/overall/header.php'; }Here is the whole script. <?php session_start(); error_reporting(0); //ini_set('display_errors', '1'); require( 'database.php' ); $username = $_SESSION['loggedinuser']; $current_stored_password = $_SESSION['password']; $current_password = $_POST['current_password']; $password = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, md5( $_POST['password'])); $password_again = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, md5( $_POST['password_again'])); // Run checks if (isset($_POST['current_password'], $_POST['password'], $_POST['password_again'])) { if( strlen( $_POST['current_password'] ) < 8 ) { include('includes/overall/header.php'); echo "Password Must Be 8 or More Characters."; include('includes/overall/footer.php'); } elseif( strlen( $_POST['password'] ) < 8 ) { include('includes/overall/header.php'); echo "Password Must Be 8 or More Characters."; include('includes/overall/footer.php'); } elseif ( strlen( $_POST['password_again'] ) < 8 ) { include('includes/overall/header.php'); echo "Password Must Be 8 or More Characters."; include('includes/overall/footer.php'); } elseif ($password !== $password_again) { include 'includes/overall/header.php'; echo ' Password and password again do not match'; include 'includes/overall/header.php'; } elseif ($current_password !== $current_stored_password) { include 'includes/overall/header.php'; echo $current_password . ' AND ' . $_POST['current_password'] . ' Password and password again do not match'; include 'includes/overall/header.php'; } else { // Define a query to run $query = "UPDATE `user` SET `password` = '$password' WHERE `username` = '$username'"; // Query the database $result = mysqli_query($con,$query); // Check if the query failed if( !$result ) { die('There was a problem executing the query ('.$query.'):<br>('.mysqli_errno($con).') '.mysqli_error($con)); } else { include 'includes/overall/header.php'; echo 'Password has been changed'; include 'includes/overall/footer.php'; } } } // Close the connection mysqli_close($con); ?>At the moment the message displayed when the form is submitted is echo $current_password . ' AND ' . $_POST['current_password'] . ' Password and password again do not match';How do I retrieve the password from the database to compare against the current password entered by the user? Any help is much appreciated. PS. Yes I know I have repeated code and that md5 is not secure, but I am just building onto a template I got and will be making changes to shorten the code and secure the password soon Am a newbie in php. Since I can't insert values to the database with respect to a user Id or with any other token using WHERE clause. I.e "INSERT INTO receipts(date) VALUES(example) where id="**....." If I need to fetch several values of column for a particular user, how do I go about it? Thank you!!! |
