[PHP sessions help]

as per the last post, slot it in here on the login.php:

list($user_id,$user_email) = mysql_fetch_row($result);
	// this sets variables in the session 
	$_SESSION['user']= $user_email;  
	$_SESSION['id']= $user_id

[\code]

then on the about me insert, do as Justin posted only substitute $_SESSION['user'] with $_SESSION['id']

personally i think emails work just as well as a unique identifier so you could still do it with the email address.

[First string in array doesn't show?]

$i is undefined so first time around its not 0 but just nothing, soon as you add 1 it becomes 1, so you dont see the array[0] if that makes sense

[HTML XHTML? Any difference?]

a very enjoyable and informative read, however i still have insomnia and need to find another good thread like this one

[passing multidimensional array onto a hidden field woes]

i would agree on the sessions thing, array passing in a form seems like extra work to me

[The variable birthday and telephone are not INSERT INTO]

so did this actually get solved, its a very confusing thread

[If statement]

[How do I monitor what is going on?]

Also there's no closing tag on the </form>. or i couldnt see one, not sure if that would affect anything

[counting certain words in a string]

3rd time lucky (god i hope so!)

<?php

$words = array('ass','fuck','shit');
$string = 'Blah blah blah ass blah blah fuck blah blah shit!';	
foreach ($words as $value) 	
{	                                 
if (strpos($string,$value))
	{			
		echo "naughty words limit";
		break;
	}                 

}	
?>	

[counting certain words in a string]

this should do the trick, the mistake i made was with instr() it didnt count number of times a rude word might appear, so was looking for 3 different rude words, rather than a total of 3 rude words, be they all different or the same.

 

EDIT*** i should be shot for skim reading, this allows you to have 2 rude words and not more, really as soon as you get a hit of 1 curse word you want it to stop. i will post YET A?NOTHER solution haha i think i need to go to bed!! ******

 

<?php
$i = 0;
$limit = false;
$words = array('ass','fuck','shit');
$string = 'ass ass blah blah ass blah blah shit  blah ass!';
foreach ($words as $value) 	{
$i += substr_count($string,$value);// includes multiple counts of the same naughty word
if($i>=3)
	{
		$limit = true;
		echo "naughty word limit";
	}
if ($limit)break;// stops the search going any further
}	
?>

[counting certain words in a string]

actually that is flawed too, give me a few more mins, haha

[counting certain words in a string]

try this mate, no offence to other poster, but I can't see that snippet working, or maybe I am just going mad:

<?php
$i = 0;
                $words = array('ass','fuck','shit');
$string = 'Blah blah blah ass blah blah fuck blah blah shit!';
foreach ($words as $value) 
{
                                 if (strpos($string,$value))
	{
		$i ++;		
                                 }
                 if($i>3) echo "naughty words limit";	
}
?>

 

[counting certain words in a string]

hehe cool, i would offer up a solution but am actually trying to work on a project.

[counting certain words in a string]

all that does is check the bad words array , not the string.

[image upload problem?plz help]

you arent getting the include file as you havent filled variable $fun with a $_GET['fun'] request, so it will never meet the comparison if($fun=="upload")

[Breaking a wile loop in half]

[What's wrong with my upload php script?]

the error message is your clue to the problem, its stating that file already exists.

 

echo out the $secure_folder on the line before so you can see what it is.

 

[how to stop errors on page]

do a simple if file exists check before trying to include it.

[how to stop errors on page]

the obvious answer is to put the missing file in there?

[Form filling issue]

to have it checked just echo 'checked', not checked=checked?

[can I use a value="" in a form tag to select a DB table from $_POST?]

yeh of course dont put the real name into the field, but I am the worst person for taking my own advice! lol

 

[Total beginner plea for help - Formmail.php]

have you tried to send mail with hard coded values first?, something like this:

 

mail("myownemailaddress@blah.com", "my subject", "my body", "from@me.text.com")

 

try it in its own page, thus keeping the non sending issue seperate from all the other code.
