    Use DATE type columns for your dates, not varchar. Have your leaving dates either a valid date or NULL. SELECT eemp_id , fname , lname , AVG(timestampdiff(MONTH, joining_date, coalesce(leaving_date, curdate()))) as av_mths FROM employee_details ed JOIN employee e ON e.empid = ed.eemp_id GROUP BY eemp_id HAVING av_mths >= 36;

    If you are outputting an image from a DB blob field, then here's an example... // EMULATE DATA FROM THE DATABASE $type = 'image/png'; $comments = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Maecenas porttitor congue massa. Fusce posuere, magna sed pulvinar ultricies, purus lectus malesuada libero, sit amet commodo magna eros quis urna.'; $image_data = file_get_contents('images/snowman.PNG'); // OUTPUT THE DATA echo "<div style='width:396;'> <img src='data:{$type};base64," . base64_encode( $image_data ) . "' width='394' height='393'> <p>$comments</p> "; RESULT

    Don't use "SELECT * ". Specify the columns you want. This makes it easier for others, like me, to understand what is in the table and what the query is doing. Indent your code to show the nested structure of loops etc. If you had done those I might have given this problem more than a cursory glance. So you'll have to settle for a generic example of using a recursive function to give an indented list of parent/child elements. Also, Don't run queries inside loops. Use JOINs to get all the data in a single query THE DATA TABLE: category +----+---------+--------+ | id | name | parent | +----+---------+--------+ | 1 | happy | 0 | | 2 | comet | 0 | | 3 | grumpy | 0 | | 4 | prancer | 1 | | 5 | bashful | 1 | | 6 | dancer | 2 | | 7 | doc | 2 | | 8 | blitzen | 2 | | 9 | dasher | 3 | | 10 | donner | 1 | | 11 | vixen | 1 | | 12 | cupid | 8 | +----+---------+--------+ THE OUTPUT THE CODE <?php $sql = "SELECT id, name, parent FROM category"; $res = $db->query($sql); // // store arrays of items for each parent in an array // while (list($id, $name, $parent) = $res->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM)) { $data[$parent][] = array('id'=>$id, 'name'=>$name); } /** * recursive function to print a category then its child categories * * @param array $arr category data * @param int $parent parent category * @param int $level hierarchy level */ function displayHierarchy(&$arr, $parent, $level=0) { if (isset($arr[$parent])) { echo "<ul>\n"; foreach($arr[$parent] as $rec) { echo "<li class='li$level'>{$rec['name']}\n"; if (isset($arr[$rec['id']])) displayHierarchy($arr, $rec['id'], $level+1); echo "</li>\n"; } echo "</ul>\n"; } } ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>Example</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/4/w3.css"> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> </script> <style type="text/css"> body { font-family: verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; padding: 50px; } li { font-weight: 600;} .li0 { color: red; } .li1 { color: green; } .li2 { color: blue; } </style> </head> <body> <?php displayHierarchy($data, 0); ?> </body> </html>

    Too many people are obsessed with "filtering" bad inputs. You don't have to "filter" anything. You don't have to remove HTML tags. You don't have to remove SQL keywords. You don't have to strip quotes or backslashes. All you have to do is make sure that whatever the user typed doesn't screw around with what you're trying to do. Want to put it into HTML? Make sure it doesn't screw around with your HTML. Want to put it into SQL? Make sure it doesn't screw around with your SQL. Want to send it in JSON? Make sure it doesn't screw around with your JSON. And every single one of those situations has a simple, single best-practice solution: HTML? Use htmlspecialchars with ENT_QUOTES* and the correct charset. SQL? Use prepared statements. JSON? Use json_encode. That's it. No filter_vars or filter_inputs, no strip_tags, no regular expressions, nothing stupid like that. User wants to look cool and type <script> tags into their forum post? Go ahead and let them, because it'll just show up as plain and simple text. Like it just did now. * Only actually required if you are putting the input into an single quote-delimited tag attribute. Using double quotes for your attributes? Not outputting into an HTML tag? Then you don't technically need ENT_QUOTES.

    People still use StackOverflow? That's only half a joke. Their community has always been toxic to newcomers and there's so much emphasis on correctness that anything less than perfect is unacceptable. And there's the hostility towards any form of discussion about what is right that I always mention when this subject comes up. SO is good when you're looking for a precise answer to a specific question, but it's terrible for actually asking the questions, or trying to weigh in as a new person with different answers. But I am glad they dethroned Expert Sex Change in search results. edit: If Your Common Sense/shrapnelcol came across this thread and decided they wanted to join our forum...

    A few notes about text bounding boxes which, I hope, will help in precise placement of your text. Suppose I have the text string "The lazy fox" which I want to display using 150pt Vivaldi . My image is 4896 x 3672 and I want the text placed at the bottom right but 250 pixels from the edges of the image. $box = imagettfbbox(150,0,'c:/windows/fonts/vivaldii.ttf','The lazy fox'); gives this array of coordinates of the four corners $box = Array ( [0] => 23 [1] => 55 [2] => 871 [3] => 55 [4] => 871 [5] => -140 [6] => 23 [7] => -140 ) You may wonder why it can't just give a rectangle from (0,0) to (width, height) to make sizing simple, but there is extra information to be extracted from the array Text width = (871 - 23) = 848 Text height = 55 - (-140) = 195 The baseline will be 140px from the top The text is offset 23 px to the right. My text, therefore, will be in a rectangle 848 x 195 positioned 250 px from right and bottom edges. The top left x coord of the rectangle will be (4896 - 250 - 848) = 3798 and top left y coord will be (3672 - 250 - 195) = 3227. However, to land the text precisely into this area we position it on the baseline and at the required x offset, ie (3798 - 23 , 3227 + 140) = (3775, 3367). I use a simple custom function to assist with this process function metrics($font, $fsize, $str) { $box = imagettfbbox($fsize, 0, $font, $str); $ht = abs($box[5] - $box[1]); $wd = abs($box[4] - $box[0]); $base = -$box[5]; $tx = -$box[0]; return [ 'width' => $wd, 'height' => $ht, 'ascent' => $base, 'offsetx' => $tx ]; } $box = metrics ('c:/windows/fonts/vivaldii.ttf', 150, 'The lazy fox'); $box = Array ( [width] => 848 [height] => 195 [ascent] => 140 [offsetx] => -23 )

    Don't use $GLOBALS. Forget it exists. There is never a good reason to use it. Pretend you never saw it.

    The code in each switch is identical so all it achieves is to ensure the calculation uses only the defined list of diameter options. Just use an array of the valid values to verify the values. You can use the same array to generate the option list <?php $diam_vals = [2,3,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26]; $results = ''; if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST') { $x = $_POST['x'] ?? 0; $y = $_POST['y'] ?? 0; $diametre = $_POST['diametre'] ?? 0; if ($x > 0 && $y > 0 && in_array($diametre, $diam_vals)) { $rayon = $diametre * 38.1; $dc = $x/2; $ad = ($y/2)-$rayon; $ac = sqrt(pow($ad,2) + pow($dc,2)); $ec = sqrt(pow($ac,2) - pow($rayon,2)); $LongueurBayonette = $ec*2; $alpha = asin($dc/$ac); $alpha = $alpha*180/M_PI; $beta = acos($rayon/$ac); $beta = $beta*180/M_PI; $angle = 180-$alpha-$beta; $results .= "X = " . $x . "mm" . "<br/>"; $results .= "Y = " . $y . "mm" . "<br/>"; $results .= "Longueur = " . number_format($LongueurBayonette,1) . " mm" . "<br/>"; $results .= "&beta; = " . number_format($angle,1) . "°" . "<br/>"; $results .= "Rayon = " . $rayon . " mm" . "<br/>"; $results .= "&phi; = " . $diametre . '"' . "<br/>"; } else { $results = 'Inputs are not valid'; } } ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>Simplified Example</title> </head> <body> <form method="post" action=""> <fieldset> X: <input type="text" name="x" value="" /> <br/> Y: <input type="text" name="y" value="" /> <br/> Diametre: <select name="diametre"> <option value="0"> </option> <?php foreach ($diam_vals as $d) { echo "<option value='$d'>$d</option>\n" ; } ?> </select> <input type="submit" value = "Calculer" /> </fieldset> </form> <br> <?=$results?> Just curious - do you have a diagram of how those values relate to one another. It metions "rayon" and "bayonnette" so my guess is that it is some kind of laser rifle with attached bayonet (but I could be wrong) ?

    I have to agree - do a single query to get the events for the month. I would set up a calendar array of the days in the month (structure: $calendar[wk][wkday][events] ) Loop through the query results and drop the events into their respective week/day slots Loop throught the array to output the calendar DATA TABLE: event +----+----------+---------------------+ | id | name | date_time | +----+----------+---------------------+ | 1 | Event 1 | 2018-11-01 15:00:00 | | 2 | Event 2 | 2018-11-02 12:00:00 | | 3 | Event 3 | 2018-11-11 14:00:00 | | 4 | Event 4 | 2018-11-14 11:00:00 | | 5 | Event 5 | 2018-11-15 14:00:00 | | 6 | Event 6 | 2018-11-16 15:00:00 | | 7 | Event 7 | 2018-11-19 15:00:00 | | 8 | Event 8 | 2018-11-20 16:00:00 | | 9 | Event 9 | 2018-11-23 14:00:00 | | 10 | Event 10 | 2018-11-30 10:00:00 | | 11 | Event 3A | 2018-11-11 16:00:00 | +----+----------+---------------------+ CODE <?php include('db_inc.php'); $db = pdoConnect("test"); // connect to "test" database $curmonth = date('F Y'); // // set up the date range required // $dt1 = new DateTime("first day of this month"); $dt2 = clone $dt1; $dt2->add(new DateInterval('P1M')); $dint = new DateInterval('P1D'); $dper = new DatePeriod($dt1, $dint, $dt2); // // create an array calendar[wk][wkday][events] to store events then output // $calendar = []; foreach ($dper as $d) { $wk = $d->format("W"); $calendar[$wk] = array_fill_keys(range(0,6), []); } // // get the event data for current month // $stmt = $db->query("SELECT id , DATE_FORMAT(date_time, '%D') as day , WEEK(date_time, 1) as wkno , WEEKDAY(date_time) as wkday , DATE_FORMAT(date_time, '%k:%i') as time , name FROM event WHERE YEAR(date_time) = YEAR(CURDATE()) AND MONTH(date_time) = MONTH(CURDATE()) ORDER BY wkno, wkday, time "); // // loop through results and drop events into the array // foreach ($stmt as $ev) { $calendar[$ev['wkno']][$ev['wkday']][] = [ 'day' => $ev['day'], 'time' => $ev['time'], 'name' => $ev['name'] ]; } // // output the array // $tdata = ''; foreach ($calendar as $wk => $wdata) { $tdata .= '<tr>'; foreach ($wdata as $dno => $events) { $cls = $dno > 4 ?

    I can't imagine a scenario where the gobbledy-gook of a system you apparently are trying to create would be justified, or possible within your demonstrated engineering capabilities. You are talking about trying to create a system that requires a user to only use one workstation and browser to access your system. I don't know what your system would be doing, but it better be providing literally life saving services, because short of that, nobody is going to put up with the restrictions you have in mind. They are anti-user, and when you make things difficult for users, they stop using your system, or never even stay long enough to pass the entry point. It is damn difficult to get anyone to sign up to use legitimately valuable services, which is why you see so many systems that integrate with facebook, google and twitter, so that you can create your account and trust authentication from those systems to allow access. Furthermore some of your plans reflect an apparent lack of understanding of Internet basics like NAT. In your system, if we were to follow along with your plans, for a large company with perhaps 1000 employees at a particular site, you plan to only allow 1 employee there to use your system. Ditto universities, or even an average household: "Hey there roommate, I just made an account at this site, you should too!" "WTF, the system says I'm banned!" Since you are focused on investigating a client IP, I will say this about IP addresses -- they are reliable at least to the degree that they reflect the tcp socket connection from the client to the server. That information bubbles up to PHP from the IP layer, to the server, and finally to PHP's $_SERVER superglob. The problem is, that a client could have bounced through a variety of gateways, proxy servers or VPN prior to the point that you are finally connected. In many sophisticated hosting environments there are things like load balancers or reverse proxy servers that sit between the client connection and the server which interfere with $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']. Rather than see the client IP, you instead see the IP of the proxy server. If you have that sort of environment, then you can examine $_SERVER['X-Forwarded-For'] or $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] variables. These may be arrays with a series of addresses. Again you have the issue that these are provided by the "client" so if it is a proxy server you can depend on at least the most recent address to have been the one that made the TCP socket connection to YOUR proxy server. Other legitimate proxy servers will provide the same data. However, someone who is taking steps to hide their origin is not going to be prevented from obscuring their IP and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Almost everyone uses NAT in some form, so the actual person IP address of a workstation on a network is never going to be visible (and would also be useless if it was, since these will be non-routable IP addresses that are shared by hundreds of millions of users). Solutions to the issue of certification and authentication, when people have real and legitimate reasons to solve them, involve cryptography. What you are trying to do can be accomplished using X.509 certificates which have support built into browsers. In a nutshell, at account creation time you would generate an client certificate for that user, installing that into your server, and then providing the signed cert back to them in a specific header (application/x-x509-user-cert ). This will cause the browser to prompt the user to install the cert into their browser. If they accept you know have a reliable way of identifying a specific user. At that point, whenever they connect (must be under SSL) you'll be able to authenticate them back to your system via that particular certificate. Those without a client certificate will be unable to connect. You can think of this as white listing. It is highly effective but is typically used only in environments where the system knows in advance who their allowed users are. Trying to use it in a public facing website with an unknown user base is something you just don't see because the benefits of trying to do this far outweigh the tolerance that people have for a system that has that degree of odious overhead and invasion of their privacy. In conclusion: The types of things you are obsessed with are all edge case items. No quality system begins with the premise that the #1 goal is to try and catch and outsmart an imaginary horde of people attacking your site for reasons unknown. This started as a specific thread about the contents of $_SERVER variables and then escalated into fairly delusional territory, with a dash of your personal Devshed drama thrown in. And let's just be clear about one thing: If you ever bring up your personal issues regarding your Devshed access again, which are irrelevant to this community, then your access to this community will end as well. It's off topic, it's a waste of people's time and efforts here, and it's rude. I just want to be clear that I won't tolerate it again.

    The PHP DateTime::diff() method provides a very convenient way of getting the days, hours, minutes and seconds components of a time difference so this script uses an AJAX request on loading to get the time remaining. From then on, it calls a javascript function every second to reduce the time displayed by one second. This greatly reduces network traffic and gives a consistent update performance. Repeatedly using AJAX could sometimes result in delays preventing a regular countdown interval. <?php ################################################################################################################## # # # THIS SECTION HANDLES THE AJAX REQUEST AND EXITS TO SEND RESPONSE (Days,hrs, mins, secs remaining) # # # if (isset($_GET['ajax'])) { if ($_GET['ajax'] == 'countdown') { $remain = ['days' => 0, 'hrs' => 0, 'mins' => 0, 'secs' => 0]; $dt1 = new DateTime( $_GET['target'] ); $dt2 = new DateTime('now'); if ($dt1 > $dt2) { $diff = $dt1->diff($dt2); $remain['days'] = $diff->days; $remain['hrs'] = $diff->h; $remain['mins'] = $diff->i; $remain['secs'] = $diff->s; } exit(json_encode($remain)); } } # # ################################################################################################################### $target = '2022-04-30 23:59:59'; // SET OR GET TARGET TIME HERE $targ = new DateTime($target); $target_time = $targ->format('g:ia'); $target_date = $targ->format('F jS Y'); ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>Countdown</title> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script> <script type='text/javascript'> var inter $().ready( function() { get_time_remaining() // call AJAX request to get remaining time inter = setInterval(countdown, 1000) // set timer to call "countdown()" function every second }) function countdown() { let s = parseInt($("#secs").html()) // get current time remaining let m = parseInt($("#mins").html()) let h = parseInt($("#hrs").html()) let d = parseInt($("#days").html()) if (d==0 && h==0 && m==0 && s==0) { // exit when target time is reached clearInterval(inter) $(".remain").css("background-color", "red") return } s--; // reduce display by 1 second if (s < 0) { s = 59; m-- } if (m < 0) { m = 59 h-- } if (h < 0) { h = 23 d-- } if (d < 0) { d = 0 } $("#days").html(d) // redisplay new values $("#hrs").html(h) $("#mins").html(m) $("#secs").html(s) } function get_time_remaining() { $.get( // make AJAX request "", {"ajax":"countdown", "target":$("#target").val()}, function(resp) { // put response values in display fields $("#days").html( resp.days ) $("#hrs").html( resp.hrs ) $("#mins").html( resp.mins ) $("#secs").html( resp.secs ) }, "JSON" ) } </script> <style type='text/css'> body { font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; } header { padding: 8px; text-align: center; width: 600px; margin: 20px auto; background-color: #F0F0F0; } .target { color: #006EFC; font-size: 16pt; } table { border-collapse: collapse; width: 400px; margin: 0 auto; } td, th { padding: 8px; text-align: center; width: 25%; } .remain { font-size: 24pt; color: white; background-color: black; border: 1px solid white; } </style> </head> <body> <header> <p>Countdown to</p> <p class='target'><?=$target_time?> on <?=$target_date?> </p> <!-- make target time available to javascript --> <input type='hidden' id='target' value='<?=$target?>' > <table border='0'> <tr><th>Days</th><th>Hours</th><th>Mins</th><th>Secs</th></tr> <tr> <td class='remain' id='days'>0</td> <td class='remain' id='hrs'>0</td> <td class='remain' id='mins'>0</td> <td class='remain' id='secs'>0</td> </tr> </table> </header> </body> </html>

    Hello Marcus, So to be clear, what we are talking about is variable typing and type hints. Variable typing is only done within a class or trait. The dog class has examples of variable typing. I expanded the examples to make a point of what changed: <?php class Dog { private int $dog_weight = 0; private string $dog_breed = "no breed"; private string $dog_color = "no color"; private string $dog_name = "no name"; public function __construct($dog_weight, $dog_breed, $dog_color, $dog_name) { $this->dog_weight = $dog_weight; $this->dog_breed = $dog_breed; $this->dog_color = $dog_color; $this->dog_name = $dog_name; } public function get_properties() : string { return "$this->dog_weight, $this->dog_breed, $this->dog_color, $this->dog_name"; } } $fido = new Dog(42, 'Poodle', 'Brown', 'Fido'); echo $fido->get_properties() . PHP_EOL; $spike = new Dog('Heavy', 'Mutt', 'Orange', 'Spike'); // Generates Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot assign string to property Dog::$dog_weight of type int echo $spike->get_properties() . PHP_EOL; The class variable definition lines like this one: "private int $dog_weight = 0" was first introduced in PHP 7.4. Prior to that you could not include the "int" to tell php you wanted $dog_weight to be a int. Furthermore, in my examples, if you try something like passing a string for the assignment, php will generate a runtime error now: "Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot assign string to property Dog::$dog_weight of type int" Previously however, PHP did support type hinting for parameters that has a similar function. <?php class Dog { private $dog_weight = 0; private $dog_breed = "no breed"; private $dog_color = "no color"; private $dog_name = "no name"; public function __construct(int $dog_weight, string $dog_breed, string $dog_color, string $dog_name) { $this->dog_weight = $dog_weight; $this->dog_breed = $dog_breed; $this->dog_color = $dog_color; $this->dog_name = $dog_name; } public function get_properties() : string { return "$this->dog_weight, $this->dog_breed, $this->dog_color, $this->dog_name"; } } $fido = new Dog(42, 'Poodle', 'Brown', 'Fido'); echo $fido->get_properties() . PHP_EOL; $spike = new Dog('Heavy', 'Mutt', 'Orange', 'Spike'); // Generates a Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Dog::__construct(): Argument #1 ($dog_weight) must be of type int, string given echo $spike->get_properties() .

This works for class parameters as well!

    Probably not what you really want, but it is what you asked for: $midPt = floor(strlen($content)/2); $file["content"] = substr($content, 0, $midPt) . $context['user']['id'] . substr($content, $midPt);

    It's the antithesis of progress and learning. We can only tell him stuff that he already knows, which is pointless. If he doesn't know it he won't use it. Therefore, whatever we tell him is a waste of time.

    This fails $j = "{'admin': 1, 'moderator': 1}" ; $a = json_decode($j, 1); echo '<pre> a ' . print_r($a, 1) . '</pre>'; This works $j = '{"admin": 1, "moderator": 1}' ; $b = json_decode($j, 1); echo '<pre> b ' . print_r($b, 1) . '</pre>'; Note the quotes in the JSON string.

    A more efficient way is to only select the 8 rows you're looking for instead of selecting the entire table.

    Rinse and repeat - exchanging u1 and u2 $new = []; foreach ($array as $a) { if (!isset($new[$a['u1']])) { $new[$a['u1']] = []; } $new[$a['u1']][] = $a['u2']; //repeat exchanging u1 and u2 if (!isset($new[$a['u2']])) { $new[$a['u2']] = []; } $new[$a['u2']][] = $a['u1']; } // // Output $new array // echo '<pre>'; foreach ($new as $u1 => $u2s) { printf('<br><b>%4d</b> | ', $u1); foreach ($u2s as $u) { printf('%4d &vellip;', $u); } }

    You've fixed things but you haven't fixed things. Like these: if(isset($_POST['d_name'])){ } if(isset($_POST['manner_death'])){ } if(isset($_POST['place_death'])){ } if(isset($_POST['nok'])){ } if(isset($_POST['rel_nok'])){ } if(isset($_POST['morgue_att'])){ } What are those doing? Nothing. They don't do anything. Then you have if(isset($_POST['tag_num'])){ if(isset($_POST['treatment'])) The first line makes sense, but the second? Without a pair of { } then it will only run the very first line of code that comes after: the assignment for $d_name. Then in your query, $query = "insert into data ( d_name, manner_death, place_death ,nok, rel_nok, morgue_att, tag_num, treatment) values ( '$d_name'.'$manner_death','$place_death','$nok','$rel_nok','$morgue_att','$tag_num','$treatment')"; you managed to fix the one syntax error but you created a new one. You cannot create websites by putting code in your editor and hoping everything will work. You have to make actual, conscious, deliberate decisions about the code. You have to know what different pieces of code mean. You have to understand why code is what it is and then how you can use it to accomplish what you want. So before you try to write more code, stop and take a few days to learn what you can about PHP. Then come back to this file and put some thought into each line of code in it.

    Do you mean something like this? <?php // get the "name" headings that you need for the columns // and also use them as keys in a "template" array // $res = $db->query("SELECT DISTINCT name FROM dataset ORDER BY name "); $names = $res->fetchAll(); $heads = array_column($names, 'name'); $temp = array_fill_keys($heads, ''); $table_header = "<tr><td></td><td class='thead'>Result</td><td class='thead'>" . join("</td><td class='thead'>", $heads) . "</td></tr>\n"; // now get the data // store in an array by "id" // witd subarrays for each name $res = $db->query("SELECT id , edate , result , name , nos FROM maintab m JOIN dataset d ON m.id = d.mid ORDER BY id "); $data = []; foreach ($res as $r) { if (!isset($data[$r['id']])) { $data[$r['id']] = [ 'edate' => $r['edate'], 'result' => $r['result'], 'names' => $temp // the template array from earlier ]; } $data[$r['id']]['names'][$r['name']] = $r['nos']; // put value in tempate array } // now we simply output data array into html table rows $tdata = ''; foreach ($data as $row) { $tdata .= "<tr><td>{$row['edate']}</td><td>{$row['result']}</td><td>" . join('</td><td>', $row['names']) . "</td></tr>\n"; } ?> <html> <head> <title>Example</title> <style type='text/css'> td { padding: 4px 10px; } .thead { font-weight: 600; border-top: 1px solid gray; border-bottom: 1px solid gray; } </style> </head> <body> <table> <?= $table_header ?> <?= $tdata ?> </table> </body> </html> OUTPUT [edit] PS Sorry about the data typo. That's what happens when people post pictures instead of copyable text.

    I tried Googling charts.js to have a look at their API documentation. What I found was nothing like the formats that you appear to be using. I did manage to get a chart produced using google.visualization api (if that helps) <?php $getdata = ' { "result": [ { "ID": 1, "Users": [ { "UserObject": { "UserName": "User1", "-": { "ID": 1 }, "0": "0" }, "User": "User1", "Amount": 10 }, { "UserObject": { "UserName": "User2", "-": { "ID": 1 }, "0": "0" }, "User": "User2", "Amount": 20 }, { "UserObject": { "UserName": "User3", "-": { "ID": 1 }, "0": "0" }, "User": "User3", "Amount": 15 } ], "Reached": false, "IsActive": true } ], "error": false, "version": 1 } '; $data = json_decode($getdata); $users = $data->result[0]->Users; $dataPoints = array( ['User', 'Amount'] ); foreach($users as $user): $dataPoints[] = array( $user->User, $user->Amount ); endforeach; $jdata = json_encode($dataPoints); ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>Test</title> <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.0/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type='text/javascript'> $().ready(function() { google.charts.load('current', {'packages':['corechart']}); google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart); // Draw the chart and set the chart values function drawChart() { var dataArray = JSON.parse($("#chart-values").val()) var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable(dataArray); // Optional; add a title and set the width and height of the chart var options = { 'title':'User Amounts', 'width':550, 'height':400, 'slices': { 0: {'color':'#2ecc71' }, 1: {'color':'#3498db' }, 2: {'color':'#95a5a6' }, 3: {'color':'#9b59b6' }, 4: {'color':'#f1c40f' }, 5: {'color':'#e74c3c' }, 6: {'color':'#34495e' } } }; // Display the chart inside the <div> element with id="piechart" var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('myChart')); chart.draw(data, options); } }) </script> <style> .container { width: 80%; margin: 15px auto; } </style> </head> <body> <input type='hidden' id='chart-values' value='<?=$jdata?>'> <div class="container"> <h2>Pie Chart Demo</h2> <div id="myChart"></div> </div> </body> </html>

    Short answer: it's safe. Longer answer: it's as safe as any other PHP file on your server. It's a common practice to put this script, or at least a script that defines variables/constants with database credentials, in a PHP file that is not located inside the web root (eg, outside of your public_html or www or whatever directory that your site is based in) because if it's not an actual page then it really shouldn't be in the root; this practice is easy to achieve when you get larger sites that have a single public_html/index.php that runs an "application" or some similar concept whose files are all outside the root.

    If it helps, note that that a <button> element can have a value attribute independent of its label <?php $option = $_GET['option'] ?? ''; if ($option) echo "You chose $option<hr>"; ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>Sample</title> </head> <body> <form> Select an option <button name="option" value="1">Choose me</button> <button name="option" value="2">Choose me</button> <button name="option" value="3">No, Choose me</button> <button name="option" value="4">No, Choose me</button> <button name="option" value="5">No, Choose me</button> </form> </body> </html>

    code that unconditionally (always) outputs the raw database statement errors for the connection, query, prepare, and execute statements, only helps hackers when they intentionally trigger errors, since these errors contain things like the database hostname/ip address, database username, if a password is being used or not, part of the sql syntax, and web server path information. the only time you should output the raw database statement errors is when learning, developing, or debugging code/query(ies) and you are viewing the site as the developer/programmer. at all other times, you should log these errors. the simple way of doing this is to use exceptions for errors and in most cases let php catch and handle the exception, where php will use its error related settings to control what happens with the actual error information (database statement errors will 'automatically' get displayed/logged the same as php errors.) you would then remove any discrete error handling logic, since it doesn't add any value for a legitimate visitor to your site, and it will no longer get executed when there is an error (execution transfers to the nearest exception handler for the type of exception or to php if there is none.) the line that Barand posted enables exceptions for errors for the mysqli extension.

    $q = 'SELECT ID FROM table'; That is a SQL query. You have to run that query through your database, receive the results, and then look for each single matching image in the directory for every returned record. You can probably skip looking in the directory, though. It will only tell you if the file exists. So if you already know (or assume) the file exists then you don't need to bother looking.

    the convention around here is "New question, new thread". That allows for short, direct answer to short, direct questions instead of long, rambling threads where all the "Goodness" gets lost. Some comments on the above: the use of "global" breaks encapsulation, requiring the environment "outside" the function to provide the variable. It is better to pass the data as an argument to the function. What value does admin['gender'] have? Any value passed that resolves to true will cause the ternary operator to return "Mr" and everything else will return "Mrs". The code makes no attempt to ensure that the array indexes used actually exist; this may or may not be an issue. What if the individual is female and not married? They might object to being called "Mrs". What if the individual is not gender-identifying? They would object most strongly to be referred to by either of the terms used here. Marital status and/or gender are both Personal Data and should be stored in the User's "record" (whatever form that takes) so that it can be managed by/on behalf of the User and changed over time. Regards, Phill W.

    Not even close. This code... $product_details = "SELECT * FROM product WHERE product_id=".$_GET['product_id']; $prepare = $connect->prepare($product_details); $prepare->execute(); ...would embed any SQL injection code contained in the GET into the query which would then be executed. (Just as an unprepared query would) In the correct version the injection code would only be treated as data and not part of the SQL code.

    the path being used in the opendir() statement either has a hard-coded '/home/sites/' in it or is using a variable that has that incorrect value in it. based on the path where the code is actually at, that part of the path should be - /home/customer/www/

    Not as it is now - if you want to tell the user which is taken you'll have to update the query. Right now it just returns a count of records that match either the username or the email. You'll have to actually select both and then check in PHP which one matches, or rewrite the query to return the offending column. However, I'd recommend just letting people know that one of the two has been taken. That way you're not confirming to an outside party which of the two actually exists in the database - a hacker that knows for a fact a username exists has less work to do and can focus only on figuring out a correct password.

    use array_filter() with the ARRAY_FILTER_USE_KEY flag set. EDIT: Of course the easiest method is not to put data into the array that you then want to remove PS If you prefer to use a foreach loop then $result = []; foreach ($array as $k => $v) { if ($k) { $result[$k] = $v; } }
