I am delete records using $_POST on the current page using isset() function. The records are deleting and the isset function is working but the corresponding record still appears in the list of records until the page is reloaded again.

I have a session to check when the users login and fetch the details from their account but when they edit their avatar I want it to update the value right away. For it to change the value for the user they need to log out and back in, destroying the original session and recreating a new one on that account. Is there a way to have it always getting the data I need from the database while they're logged in? Because I don't want it to only get the orignial data in case they change a setting so they don't have to log out and then back in to change the setting. I hope you understand

I have a form where people have to fill in some fields and send an email. When there is an error the user has to go back to the form with:
Code: [Select]
if (!isset($_POST['checkbox'])) { 
$msgToUser = '<br /><br /><font color="#FF0000">You did not add any recipients!<br><a href="javascript: history.go(-1)">Go Back</a></font>';
    include_once 'msgToUser.php';
    exit();
} 
I want to save the data that has been filled in the textarea so he doesn't have to type eveything again.
I tried several options but the textarea keeps getting blank.

Code: [Select]
<?php
$message = isset($_POST['message']) ? $_POST['message'] : '';

$fhtml = "<p>Welcome <b>'$logOptions_username'</b> write your email here.&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href=\"#\" onclick=\"return false\" onmousedown=\"javascript:toggleViewFlags('country_flags');\">Add Recipients</a>
<br>
</p><input type=hidden name=post value=yes><p>
Subject:<br>
<input type=text name=name size=100>
</p>
<p>
Message:<br>
<textarea name=message rows=10 cols=75>$message</textarea>
</p>
<p>
<input type=submit name=submit value=\"Send\">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$sendMsg
</p>
";
echo $fhtml;
?>
This code is apparently not working.

So, I just don't know where to post this question. I've written a quiz program where 50 English vocab words are pulled from a dB and displayed on one page with the order scrambled. My students then type the Spanish translation for each. When they submit the form the next page grades their work. They have to get a 90 or better for the grade to be automatically recorded, so I want them to click the back button and go back and make corrections. The problem is when they use a Chrome browser and click the back button the program re-sorts the order of questions. It leaves the order of their answers the same. So what they answered for number 1 is still in the field for number 1, but the questions (the English vocab word) is different. Chrome does this consistently so I thought this was a Chrome issue only. Then one of my students said the same thing happened to her when using Safari.

So here is my question, how can I stop Chrome (or any other browser) from re-running my server-side PHP scripts (re-sorting the vocab array) when clicking the back button?

 

Here is the code for students taking the quiz:

<form method="post" action="portal.php?load=vquiz_grade" style="margin-left: 50px; line-height: 30px;">
<table>
    <?
    $count = 1;
    $query = "SELECT * FROM inno_memorize WHERE uname = 'admiralq' AND subject = '$subject' AND title = '$title' ORDER BY subject, title";
    $result= mysql_query($query) or die("Could not perform query: ".mysql_error());
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
        $ans[$count]['def'] = $row['definition'];
        $ans[$count]['word'] = $row['vocab_word'];
        $count++;
    }

    $max = $count-1;
    shuffle($ans);
    
    $count = 0;
    while ($count < $max){
    
        // Search for () and eliminate along with contents
        $loc1 = strpos($ans[$count]['word'], "(");
        $loc2 = strpos($ans[$count]['word'], ")");
        
        
        if ($loc1 != "" AND $loc2 != ""){
                
            // string length
            $length = strlen($ans[$count]['word']);
            // from loc2 to end
            $lcount = $length - $loc2;
            
            // Dump location points and all text inbetween
            $ans[$count]['word'] = substr($ans[$count]['word'], 0, ($loc1-1)).substr($ans[$count]['word'], ($loc2+1));
                        
        }
        print "<tr><td>".($count+1).". <textarea id=\"kelp".$count."\" cols=25 rows=1 name=\"answer".$count."\" style=\"resize: none;\" autocomplete=\"off\"></textarea>&nbsp;</td>";

        </td>
        </tr>
        <?

        //print "<br>";
        $count++;

Currently, I'm trying to write a contact form, and perhaps I'm overcomplicating it, but I have a public variable called $EquationAnswer that stores the answer to the Captcha method (randomised maths question) and whenever the page reloads, it creates a new instance of the Contact class, which then erases the value that has been stored in that variable.   What I'm trying to achieve is keeping the value stored even after a new instantiation of the class. I remember from a class at University that static was a way to do this, but this was in C#.

<?php

class Contact
{
	public $EquationAnswer;

	public function CaptchaCreation()
	{
		$SignArray = array('+', '&times;', '-');

		$NumberOne = rand(1, 9);
		$NumberTwo = rand(1, 4);

		if($NumberOne < $NumberTwo)
			$SignIndex = rand(0, 1);
		else
			$SignIndex = rand(0, 2);

		$Sign = $SignArray[$SignIndex];

		$EquationString = $NumberOne." ".$Sign." ".$NumberTwo;

		switch($Sign)
		{
			case "+":
				$Answer = $NumberOne + $NumberTwo;
				break;
			case "-":
				$Answer = $NumberOne - $NumberTwo;
				break;
			case "&times;":
				$Answer = $NumberOne * $NumberTwo;
				break;
		}

		$this->EquationAnswer = $Answer;

		return $EquationString;
	}

	public function EchoContactForm()
	{
		$CaptchaMessage = $this->CaptchaCreation();

		echo "<form method='POST' action=''>\n\n";
		echo "\t\t\t\t\t<table>\n\n";
		echo "\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr><td>Name: </td><td><input type='text' name='name' /></td></tr>\n";
		echo "\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr><td>Email: </td><td><input type='text' name='email' /></td></tr>\n";
		echo "\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr><td>Subject: </td><td><input type='text' name='subject' /></td></tr>\n";
		echo "\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr><td>Message: </td><td><textarea rows=5 name='message'></textarea></td></tr>\n";
		echo "\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr><td>What is: ".$CaptchaMessage."?</td><td><input type='text' name='captcha' /></td><td></td></tr>\n";
		echo "\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr><td colspan=2 style='text-align: right'><input type='submit' name='submit' value='Send' /></td></tr>\n\n";
		echo "\t\t\t\t\t</table>\n\n";
		echo "\t\t\t\t</form>\n";
	}

	public function ContactFormValidation($Name, $Email, $Subject, $Message, $CaptchaInput, $CaptchaAnswer)
	{
		echo $CaptchaAnswer;

		$ErrorsArray = array();

		if(strlen($Name) == 0)
			array_push($ErrorsArray, "You must provide a name.");
		if(strlen($Email) == 0)
			array_push($ErrorsArray, "You must provide an email.");
		if(strlen($Message) == 0)
			array_push($ErrorsArray, "You must provide a message.");
		if(strlen($CaptchaInput) == 0)
			array_push($ErrorsArray, "You must provide an answer to the maths question.");
		if($CaptchaInput != $CaptchaAnswer)
			array_push($ErrorsArray, "Incorrect captcha answer.");

		if(count($ErrorsArray) > 0)
		{
			echo "There are ".count($ErrorsArray)." Errors: <br />";

			foreach($ErrorsArray as $E)
				echo $E."<br />";
		}
		else
		{
			return true;
		}
	}
}

?>

^ That's the Contact class, and the main function that I want to focus on is the last one, "ContactFormValidation()".   From the contact form page (which is within a template), I want it to send the EquationAnswer variable to that function so that it can compare what the user has input.

<?php

//Instantiate the contact class
include './inc/PHP/classes/ContactClass.php';
$ContactClass = new Contact;

if(!isset($_POST['submit']))
{
	$ContactClass->EchoContactForm();
}
else
{
	$NameInput = $_POST['name'];
	$EmailInput = $_POST['email'];
	$SubjectInput = $_POST['subject'];
	$MessageInput = $_POST['message'];
	$CaptchaInput = $_POST['captcha'];
	$CaptchaAnswer = $ContactClass->EquationAnswer;

        //Tried echoing out what is in the variable but it produces nothing because the contact class is a new instance.
	//echo $CaptchaAnswer;

	if($ContactClass->ContactFormValidation($NameInput, $EmailInput, $SubjectInput, $MessageInput, $CaptchaInput, $CaptchaAnswer) == true)
	{
		//Mail function
	}
}

?>

Any help would be appreciated.   Cheers.

Hi, i have a folder with thumbnails and original big pictures of the thumbnails, i wanna make it so that the max amount of thumbs that can be displayed on one page would be 3

Code: [Select]
<body>
<div id=head></div>
<div id=main>
<?php include("loadimages.php") ?> //<- here i take all the thumbnails that are in my thumb folder
</div>
<div id=foot></div>
</body>

i have 5 thumbnails, it displays all of them in the "main" div, i wanna add an "Next" and "Previous" buttons, i mean, i want it to show only 3 thumbs at one time, once u click "next" it would remove the first 3 thumbs and load the other 2 thumbnails..

heres a pic maybe it will explain better of what im trying to do..

I've created a photo gallery with php. The gallery is functioning fine, apart from when an image is uploaded the page displays a couple of the images stacked over one-another. The page is displayed in the correct layout when the page is refreshed. This is happening after each photo upload. I wondered if anyone has come across this problem or if its obvious if there's something in my script that's causing this?

Code: [Select]
<?php
echo "<div class='gallery_row_divide'>";
include "processes/connection.php";
$table = "gallery";
$i = 0;

$data = mysql_query("SELECT id, name, filetype FROM $table ORDER BY id DESC") or die(mysql_error);

while ($datarow = mysql_fetch_array($data))
{
$name = $datarow['name'];
$id = $datarow['id'];
//determine photo & thumbnail name and location
if($datarow['filetype'] == "image/png")
$type = "png";
else
$type = "jpg";
$photo_name = "000". $id;
$photo_name = substr($photo_name, -4);
$photo_name = $photo_name. "." .$type;
$thumbname = "tb_" .$photo_name;
$thumbname_address = "uploads/thumbs/" .$thumbname;
$photo_address = "uploads/" .$photo_name;

//display image
echo "<div class='gallery_photo_divide'><div class='gallery_photo_valouter'><div class='gallery_photo_valmid'><div class='gallery_photo_valinner'><a href='$photo_address' class='lightbox'><img src='$thumbname_address' alt='photo by $name' class='shadow pic' /></a><br />";
if(!empty($name))
echo "<div class='gallery_text_divide'>Photo taken by " .$name. "</div><!--end of .gallery_text_divide-->";

Hi

I am trying to upload images and add the details to a database, the problem I have is the photos are not being uploaded or added to the database but the page is redirecting to the next page in the process I have.

The images are selected using this code
Code: [Select]
<?php
include("config.inc.php");

// initialization
$photo_upload_fields = "";
$counter = 1;

// default number of fields
$number_of_fields = 10;

// If you want more fields, then the call to this page should be like, 
// preupload.php?number_of_fields=20

//if( $_GET['number_of_fields'] )
//$number_of_fields = (int)($_GET['number_of_fields']);

// Lets build the Photo Uploading fields
while( $counter <= $number_of_fields )
{
$photo_upload_fields .=<<<__HTML_END
<tr>
<td>
     Photo {$counter}:
    <input name=' photo_filename[]' type='file' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
     Title:
    <input name='photo_title[]' type="text" size="30">
</td>
</tr>
__HTML_END;
$counter++;
}
?>

html code for page look and feel

<form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='upload.php' method='post' name='upload_form'>
<table width='90%' border='0' align='center' style='width: 90%;'>

<!-Insert the photo fields here -->

It is however redirecting to the header indicated at the bottom of the page.

I can't see why the photos are not uploading or being added to the database.

Hi, I have a "user profile" page and it has a profile image upload form. I have it so that the old profile  image is deleted, and the new image is uploaded and the new image is echoed out using the name of the new file from the database. The problem is, when I click submit to add the new image, the old image still stays there and the new image does not show up. Only when I manually click refresh on my browser does the new image show up.

That is going to be bad for my users. Please if anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.  Below is the code I am using to delete the old image, and code to upload the image as well, when the photo upload form is used.

Code: [Select]
if(isset($_POST['photoUpload']))

{

if(file_exists("images/".$currentUser.".jpg")){
    unlink("images/".$currentUser.".jpg");
    clearstatcache();

}
//reads the name of the file the user submitted for uploading
$image=$_FILES['image']['name'];
//if it is not empty
if ($image)
{
//get the original name of the file from the clients machine
$filename = stripslashes($_FILES['image']['name']);
//get the extension of the file in a lower case format
$extension = getExtension($filename);
$extension = strtolower($extension);
//if it is not a known extension, we will suppose it is an error and will not upload the file,
//otherwise we will do more tests
if (($extension != "jpg") && ($extension != "jpeg") && ($extension != "png") && ($extension != "gif"))
{
//print error message
echo '<h1>Unknown extension!</h1>';
$errors=1;
}
}
//end if here
//was else here

//get the size of the image in bytes
//$_FILES['image']['tmp_name'] is the temporary filename of the file
//in which the uploaded file was stored on the server
$size=filesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);

//compare the size with the maxim size we defined and print error if bigger
if ($size > MAX_SIZE*1024)
{
echo '<h1>You have exceeded the size limit!</h1>';
$errors=1;

Hi All,

I am trying to develop an application that show's where PC's are located in an office. Basically, what I want to be able to do, is to overlay avatar-like images over a main floorplan layout, and place them in a position, depending on thier x/y co-ordinates, which would be retreived from a database.

Is this possible using PHP at all?

Thanks in advance
Matt

So I have a page that has profile images basically, but these images cache and when someone clicks on anything, like rotate image, since my script rotates the image and saves it correctly, I can hit Ctrl+F5 and the image then shows up correct, but the page loading itself after running my script using a get method and then using the header coming back to the same page the image looks like it wasn't reloaded. Noones gonna hit Ctrl+F5, so how do I get this to cache the image completely when the page reloads? I've tried
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />

But this doesn't work, well nothing seems to work really.

I have this script from http://lampload.com/...,view.download/ (I am not using a database) I can upload images fine, I can view files, but I want to delete them. When I press the delete button, nothing happens   http://www.jayg.co.u...oad_gallery.php   <form> <?php $dir = dirname(__FILENAME__)."/images/gallery" ; $files1 = scandir($dir); foreach($files1 as $file){ if(strlen($file) >=3){ $foil = strstr($file, 'jpg'); // As of PHP 5.3.0 $foil = $file; $pos = strpos($file, 'css'); if ($foil==true){ echo '<input type="checkbox" name="filenames[]" value="'.$foil.'" />'; echo "<img width='130' height='38' src='images/gallery/$file' /><br/>"; // for live host //echo "<img width='130' height='38' src='/ABOOK/SORTING/gallery-dynamic/images/gallery/ $file' /><br/>"; } } }?> <input type="submit" name="mysubmit2" value="Delete"> </form>   any ideas please?   thanks
