any help on this would be greatly appreciated :-)

OK so here is my register user script: **NOTE = clientaddress is now named ip <?php // execute script only if form has been submitted if (array_key_exists('register', $_POST)) { // remove backslashes from the $_POST array include('../_inc/corefuncs.php'); include('../_inc/conn_mysql.inc.php'); nukeMagicQuotes(); // check length of username and password $username = trim($_POST['username']); $pwd = trim($_POST['pwd']); $ip = trim($_POST['ip']); // initialize error array $message = array(); // check length of username if (strlen($username) < 10 || strlen($username) > 20) { $message[] = 'Username must be between 10 and 20 characters'; } // validate username if (!ctype_alnum($username)) { $message[] = 'Username must consist of alphanumeric characters with no spaces'; } // check password if (strlen($pwd) < 6 || preg_match('/\s/', $pwd)) { $message[] = 'Password must be at least 6 characters with no spaces'; } // check that the passwords match if ($pwd != $_POST['conf_pwd']) { $message[] = 'Your passwords don\'t match'; } // if no errors so far, check for duplicate username if (!$message) { // connect to database as administrator $conn = dbConnect('admin'); // check for duplicate username $checkDuplicate = "SELECT user_id FROM users WHERE username = '$username'"; $result = mysql_query($checkDuplicate) or die(mysql_error()); $numRows = mysql_num_rows($result); // if $numRows is positive, the username is already in use if ($numRows) { $message[] = "$username is already in use. Please choose another username."; } // otherwise, it's OK to insert the details in the database else { // create a salt using the current timestamp $salt = time(); // encrypt the password and salt with SHA1 $pwd = sha1($pwd.$salt); // insert details into database $insert = "INSERT INTO users (username, salt, pwd, ip) VALUES ('$username', '$salt', '$pwd', '$ip')"; $result = mysql_query($insert) or die(mysql_error()); if ($result) { $message[] = "Account created for $username"; } else { $message[] = "There was a problem creating an account for $username"; } } } } ?> and my login code is this: <?php // process the script only if the form has been submitted if (array_key_exists('login', $_POST)) { // start the session session_start(); include('../_inc/corefuncs.php'); include('../_inc/conn_mysql.inc.php'); // clean the $_POST array and assign to shorter variables nukeMagicQuotes(); $username = trim($_POST['username']); $pwd = trim($_POST['pwd']); $ip = trim($_POST['ip']); // connect to the database as a restricted user $conn = dbConnect('query'); // prepare username for use in SQL query $username = mysql_real_escape_string($username); // get the username's details from the database $sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'"; $result = mysql_query($sql); $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); // use the salt to encrypt the password entered in the form // and compare it with the stored version of the password // if they match, set the authenticated session variable if (sha1($pwd.$row['salt']) == $row['pwd']) { $_SESSION['authenticated'] = 'Jethro Tull'; } // if no match, destroy the session and prepare error message else { $_SESSION = array(); session_destroy(); $error = 'Invalid username or password'; } // if the session variable has been set, redirect if (isset($_SESSION['authenticated'])) { // get the time the session started $_SESSION['start'] = time(); header("Location:$ip"); exit; } } ?> I hope this is more clear..

I have a database called users with fields (userid, username, password, clientaddress) My client has a separate system for their clients. Each client has their own address. So Im trying to create a register form so when their client types in their username and password it will automatically redirect to their address(hence the field client address) But at the minute the when I login it wont redirect, the username and password are working ok it just wont re-direct to the "clientaddress"

Currently the clientaddress field in MySQL is a varchar(255) should this be different?

Hi Everyone, I'm having a bit of a problem if someone could help me with? I have a simple registration form with fields userid, username, password, clientaddress So when the user logs in with their username and password it will redirect to their client address but I cant get the redirect working. Here is my code: $clientaddress = trim($_POST['clientaddress']); $_SESSION['start'] = time(); header("Location:$clientaddress"); exit; } also note if I add: $clientaddress = 'http://www.google.com'; it redirects ok to google. It's getting the field from the database I think thats the problem Can somone help it just wont redirect to the client address

Originally I was going to have every user going to the same place. But the system was built by another company in a totally different language. So I don't really want to touch a system that has been there for years. So the idea of have a redirect by using the redirect column will work perfect thanks for the help everyone :-)

Hi Everyone, Just a quick question before I take on this project. Basically the client has a secure server set up with folders for different clients. So they can store excel files, PDFs etc, What the client use to do was send the client an email with the http address of that clients particular folder to be able to login. What my job is to create a login system that redirects each client to their particular area on the secure system. Is this going to be difficult, What I was thinking of doing was when the administator is setting up the client details there would be an extra field saying address: they paste the address of the folder on the server. Then it will redirect them to their folder. Is this the correct way to do this. Any help or advice would be great.

Hi Everyone, I'm just looking a bit of advice really. I have a website build coming up soon and I am currently researching which software to use for an e-commerce website. My PHP knowledge is border line beginner / intermediate. All the research I have been doing on the vast amount of open source software available they all have good and bad points so I am a bit nervous on which one to use. Does anyone have any good advice for which I should go for and if so what books should I use. I don't no if should use magento becuase the website will be a medium size website for selling their products. Does anyone have any ideas/advice Thanks Barry

Hi MasterACE14, Na that didn't work. Here is what I have to date so I have a subnavigation like so: <div id="sidenav"><!-- Open Sidenav --> <h3>In this section</h3> <ul> <li><a href="containment_strategy.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'containment_strategy') {echo 'class="selected"';} ?>>Containment Strategy</a></li> <li><a href="containment_systems.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'containment_systems') {echo 'class="selected"';} ?>>Containment Systems</a> <?php if ($currentPage == 'containment_systems') { ?> <ul> <li><a href="downflow_booths.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'download_booths') {echo 'class="selected"';} ?>>Downflow Booths</a> <?php if ($currentPage == 'download_booths') { echo ' <ul> <li><a href="sampling_booth.php">Sampling Booth</a></li> <li><a href="dispensing_booth.php">Dispensing Booth</a></li> <li><a href="charging_booth.php">Charging Booth</a></li> <li><a href="quadraflow.php">Quadraflow</a></li> <li><a href="lab_bench.php">Lab Bench</a></li> </ul> ';} ?> </li> <li><a href="high_containment_screen.php">High Containment Screen</a></li> <li><a href="containment_isolators.php">Containment Isolators</a></li> <li><a href="pack_off_and_process.php">Pack off and Process</a></li> <li><a href="glassware_and_kilolab.php">Glassware and KiloLab</a></li> <li><a href="low_cost_isolators">Low Cost Isolators</a></li> </ul> <?php ;} ?> </li> <li><a href="aseptic_systems.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'aseptic_systems') {echo 'class="selected"';} ?>>Aseptic Systems</a></li> <li><a href="facilities.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'facilities') {echo 'class="selected"';} ?>>Facilities</a></li> <li><a href="after_market.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'after_market') {echo 'class="selected"';} ?>>After Market</a></li> </ul> </div><!-- Close Sidenav --> Then the $currentPage code on each page to display which nav <?php $currentPage = ("download_booths"&&"containment_systems"); require_once '_inc/sidenav.php'; ?> So if im on Download_booths page I need the $currentPage variable to display download_booths and containment_systems. at the minute this works but it's making all the $currentPage variables a selected class Please help anybody :-) Regards Barry

Hi Everyone, I am creating a website with no CMS which is proving a bit difficult when I started thinking about how to do sub navigation for all the pages from one include file. So I came up with a system that worked by using a $currentPage variable then on every page I will give that page a $currentPage name. But on some of the pages I need two names I've came up with this but I don't no if it's right. <?php $currentPage = ('containment_systems' && 'download_booths'); require_once '_inc/sidenav.php'; ?>

No there is no database or CMS being used. Does this make it harder...

Basically I would have a search box at the top of the website and any user can come and use the search box instead of navigating their way through the website Thanks for the reply Regards Barry

Hi Everyone, This site is always good for a bit of help and advice. I'm new to PHP and I am looking for some advice for the best way to get a PHP search on my client's website. I know there are some software packages out there at the minute e.g. http://www.sphider.eu/ http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/index.html Basically What should I do, Should I go with one of these (maybe you know a better piece of software). Are there any good tutorials out there to code my own. Any Help would be great. Regards Barry

Hi Everyone, I have wrote this small script to display some simple breadcrumbs I was wondering how could I get rid of the .php extenstion. And was also wondering if this is the correct way of doing things. I'm new to php so any advice would be great: Here is the code <?php $pagetitle = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);; $ul_id='breadcrumbs'; echo '<ul id="'.$ul_id.'"><li class="first"><a href="/">Home</a></li>'; echo '<li><a class="selected" href="'.$pagetitle.'">'.$pagetitle.'</a></li>'; echo '</ul>'; ?> Thanks Barry

Hi Guys, I have spent the last few weeks working on a php/ajax store locator script using the Google Maps API. I have it all working now eventually here is the link http://bagitup.org.uk/banklocator/ . Now the client has came back and has asked if it's possible to limit the amount of searches (3 per day). Can anyone point me in the right direction or even some help. Is it a massive task or quite straight forward Many Thanks Barry
