Look in scripts.js:246-259: $("input,textarea").each(function(){ placeholder = $(this).attr("placeholder"); if(placeholder=="undefined"||placeholder==false||$.browser.msie=="undefined"||!$.browser.msie) return; $(this).val($(this).attr("placeholder")); $(this).focus(function(){ if($(this).val()==$(this).attr("placeholder")) $(this).val(""); }); $(this).blur(function(){ if($(this).val()=="") $(this).val($(this).attr("placeholder")); }); }); Debug that "placeholder" variable...

Ownership controls what you can do to something while permissions control what you can do with it. When the PHP script uploads the file, make it chmod($filename, 0644); the file. That should take care of not being able to download future files; for the existing files you can write a very quick script that does that chmod() on everything. It would look like foreach (glob("/path/to/uploads/*.*") as $file) chmod($file, 0644); // and that's all there is to it, really Otherwise if you have a PHP script that can shrink one file, modify it so that it can shrink a series of files. Or easier, make a new script which sets up a couple variables as needed and then include()s the shrinking script. But ultimately this problem should be solved in the CMS: when images are uploaded they should be resized if above a certain size (be that pixel dimensions or file size or whatever). Yes, that's required. Odds are this is one of two situations: either the files are world-not-readable (like 0600 or 0640) or the directory has world-not-executable (like 0700 or 0750). Or both. What's unusual is that this is quite rare to have set up by default. Normally files are naturally 0644 and directories 0755 and then something manually changes those permissions to be more restrictive.

That would catch the most common coding style, but couldn't work on the second-most common: define("DB_HOST", "public server"); define("DB_USERNAME", "something embarrassing"); define("DB_PASSWORD", "something equally embarrassing"); mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD); Or basically any other mechanism where the actual information isn't directly inline with the function call.

Use a redirect. header("Location: /path/to/wherever#c1000"); exit; I prefer that to the JavaScript equivalent (which I'm not even sure how you do).

getmxrr() takes the MX record list and weights by reference. If you give it variables for those two then it will populate them with the values it finds. The true/false is so you can, like, stick it in a condition.

What does the documentation say? And once you've learned how to use getmxrr(), realize that even if there isn't a record it just means that you should assume the website server also acts as a mail server. (That is, a lack of an MX record simply means there isn't a dedicated MX record.)

Okay... Still not sure what that redirect is supposed to do... Are you trying to use it to redirect the original page? Can't do it that way. You'd have to send data that says "you need to redirect and here is where you need to go". Like maybe echo json_encode(array("action" => "redirect", "location" => "/system_lords/dominion.php")); success: function(data) { if (data && data.action == "redirect") { document.location = data.location; } else { // ??? } }

What's the point of the redirection?

Only root can change the ownership of a file. You shouldn't need to change file permissions. Why do you want to change the ownership?

Which isn't necessary because the new URL doesn't match the expression.

What have you tried so far? You're probably very close already. And I don't know about the links, and I haven't seen any settings for it. You can add a space or something to break them.

Calm down, it's only been 30 minutes on an early Monday morning. Yes it's possible. In a .htaccess: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(get_categories|...)\? RewriteRule ^ index.php?%1= [L,QSA] For every API call to do URL rewriting on, add it to that third Cond separated by |s. Like ^/(foo|bar|baz|whatever)\? (If anyone's wondering, I used a third RewriteCond for readability's sake.)

I just love copy/pasting the same answer across forums.

A shell script (or a single command, even) would be easier. If you can't do that then is your PHP script running as root?

It should be possible. MySQL can calculate the average and then round it up and down for the two vote numbers. You'd have to construct a loop but with a counter @variable you can do it. If the average is 3.x then it's possible to come up with a set of 3 and 4 votes that satisfies the two conditions. That's because any 1, 2, or 5 votes can be "transformed" into 3s and 4s without affecting the grand total or the number of votes. Because there's an average of 3.x, every low/high vote must have a "balancing" set of high/low votes that maintains the average. The math turns those balanced votes into 3s and 4s regardless of what the actual numbers where. The low and high values are just the two numbers on either side of the average. Say the average is 4.x. Start off with some vote close to that average, like 4. You can pick lots of 4s but the average of them will be too low. You need some higher votes, like 5, to raise it. In this case we picked the two numbers on either side of 4.x - you could pick anything really, it's just that it's easier to pick 4 and 5. Not mentioned is how this all only works if there is a possible set of votes to sum to the total and also maintain the average, but this is the case because these numbers aren't just randomly generated: there was a series of real, legal votes that resulted in them. If it weren't then all the math is out the window because it's simply not possible.

As I answered elsewhere,

It uses a regular expression: "/^(?!(??:\\x22?\\x5C[\\x00-\\x7E]\\x22?)|(?:\\x22?[^\\x5C\\x22]\\x22?)){255,})(?!(??:\\x22?\\x5C[\\x00-\\x7E]\\x22?)|(?:\\x22?[^\\x5C\\x22]\\x22?)){65,}@)(??:[\\x21\\x23-\\x27\\x2A\\x2B\\x2D\\x2F-\\x39\\x3D\\x3F\\x5E-\\x7E]+)|(?:\\x22(?:[\\x01-\\x08\\x0B\\x0C\\x0E-\\x1F\\x21\\x23-\\x5B\\x5D-\\x7F]|(?:\\x5C[\\x00-\\x7F]))*\\x22))(?:\\.(??:[\\x21\\x23-\\x27\\x2A\\x2B\\x2D\\x2F-\\x39\\x3D\\x3F\\x5E-\\x7E]+)|(?:\\x22(?:[\\x01-\\x08\\x0B\\x0C\\x0E-\\x1F\\x21\\x23-\\x5B\\x5D-\\x7F]|(?:\\x5C[\\x00-\\x7F]))*\\x22)))*@(??:(?!.*[^.]{64,})(??:(?:xn--)?[a-z0-9]+(?:-[a-z0-9]+)*\\.){1,126}){1,}(??:[a-z][a-z0-9]*)|(??:xn--)[a-z0-9]+))(?:-[a-z0-9]+)*)|(?:\\[(??:IPv6:(??:[a-f0-9]{1,4}(?::[a-f0-9]{1,4}){7})|(??!(?:.*[a-f0-9][:\\]]){7,})(?:[a-f0-9]{1,4}(?::[a-f0-9]{1,4}){0,5})?:?:[a-f0-9]{1,4}(?::[a-f0-9]{1,4}){0,5})?)))|(??:IPv6:(??:[a-f0-9]{1,4}(?::[a-f0-9]{1,4}){5}|(??!(?:.*[a-f0-9]{5,})(?:[a-f0-9]{1,4}(?::[a-f0-9]{1,4}){0,3})?:?:[a-f0-9]{1,4}(?::[a-f0-9]{1,4}){0,3}?)))?(??:25[0-5])|(?:2[0-4][0-9])|(?:1[0-9]{2})|(?:[1-9]?[0-9]))(?:\\.(??:25[0-5])|(?:2[0-4][0-9])|(?:1[0-9]{2})|(?:[1-9]?[0-9]))){3}))\\]))$/iD" and has a copyright.

Regular expressions are basically the way to go, but unless you want a (theoretically) perfect expression you'll have to settle for some false positives and/or false negatives. Google can help you get one of those. Next is checking the domain name. getmxrr can look up the mail server for a domain, but if there isn't one you should assume that the hostname also acts as a mail server (IIRC that's part of the standard). You could go another step and try a connection to the server if you wanted. After that you might be able to verify a "username" but it depends on whether the mail server is nice enough to help with that. Generally you don't have to go this far: services that use an address in, for example, a registration process send an email to confirm it. This is what you should do.

Define "exists". And any particular reason it has to be used via the command line (as opposed to a normal script you'd use in a webpage)?

$error->ErrorHandle($setError); You haven't defined $error inside that function. The one on the outside doesn't matter. Inside the catch block, instantiate a new errorCatch and call its ErrorHandle.

That "image/jpeg" comes from the browser, not from PHP. Besides the fact that it's totally untrustworthy, not all browsers will call an image by the same name. Use a function like getimagesize to independently check (a) that it's an image and (b) what type of image it is.

First, if 1*votes = voteTotal then all the votes are 1. If 5*votes = voteTotal then all the votes are 5. Otherwise get the average, which must be between two numbers in the 1-5 range. Call those two numbers "low" and "high". Take the fractional part of the average and * votes (and round). This is the number of "high" votes. The remainder is of "low" votes. voteTotal = 1394 votes = 431 1*431 = 431 so not ones 5*431 = 2155 so not fives 1394 / 431 ~ 3.23433 so low=3 and high=4 0.23433 * 431 = 101 so that many votes of 4 The remainder is 431-101 = 330 votes of 3 I can explain the proof if anyone wants.

That duplicated row probably has two matching rows in the other table (it's hard to tell which table is which in what you've posted). Example: table1 table2 id | one id | two ---+---- ---+---- 1 | abc 1 | JKL 1 | XYZ SELECT table1.* FROM table1 JOIN table2 ON table1.id = table2.id (table1) (table2 which you can't see) id | one | id | two ---+---- +----+---- 1 | abc | 1 | JKL 1 | abc | 1 | XYZ
