Thanks I will! I wasn't sure where I should post this!

I am a young php developer who also does pen-testing for websites and company's. I am looking for some people interested in getting their web applications tested for security flaws. I am doing this just for experience (so it is free). All i need is a comment in one of your pages giving me permission to do so. That proves it is your website and that I have permission. I do not mess with any data or functionality, all I do is test your website security and send you a report with what I find. I can also offer to fix the bugs I find. Looking forward to helping some people secure their websites!

Yes you will use php for the server side and then some html/javascript for the UI.

When in OOP I have been watching tutorials and some have functions just written like class user { public $user; public function __construct($u) { $this->user = $u; } } do I need to type public before the function or is it better practice to just put class user { public $user; function __construct($u) { $this->user = $u; } } Thanks!

Is it bad practice to use $_COOKIE for your log in system and to protect your pages or would it be better to use $_SESSION? I have always used cookie but I am not sure if that is good practice

I can't get my select_query or my insert_query to work. Is it possible for it to be a problem with my version of xampp? The only PDO stuff that has worked is the connection process of PDO.

Did you create the database and table being used in the query? I'd guess your query is failing and ->query is returning FALSE rather than the statement object. That is what I originally thought but then I tipple checked everything and the query shouldn't fail. Since I am just selecting all from the table.

To my understanding if it wasn't return an array of information it most likely isn't returning anything at all and the query is empty?

I looked at that example and they do the same thing? I used this guide http://phpro.org/tutorials/Introduction-to-PHP-PDO.html to learn and I don't see any difference in that one either?

I am new and just learning PDO and already having some problems with very simple stuff <?php $hostname = "localhost"; $dbname = "PDO"; $username = "root"; $password = ""; try { $dbh = new PDO("mysql:$hostname;dname=$dbname",$username,$password); $sql = "SELECT * FROM users"; foreach($dbh->query($sql) as $row) { echo $row['id'] . $row['name'] . $row['email']; } echo "Number of effected rows:" . $count; } catch(PDOExecption $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); } ?> Can you tell me what in that code is making me get the error: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\PDO\select_query.php and what I would need to alter to fix the problem.

Well I mean personally I code using my own style. But I have been told by many more experienced people that I need to use a public coding style like how pear has certain ways of doing the coding (line length,bracket placement, ..etc). So I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions other then PEAR.

I am looking to finally move to a popular coding style. Anyone know any great ones I should look into? So far I have looked into PEAR. Thanks!

I am new to java script and I am curious is it possible to have a java script function click when I hit a certain button on my keyboard. Like if I hit (space) it would run a java script function I have built?

okay sounds like I will start using PDO. I have used a little of it but I just already knew mysql_ so I went back to it. I will make sure I use PDO for now on.

I am curious if it is true that mysql_ extension is being depreciated in the next upcoming versions of php? Has anyone heard about if that is actually going to happen?

I am curious when you guys write php applications and you use OOP do you guys put all your classes in 1 file or do you separate each class into a different file? Which way is perferred by professional programmers?

I recent created www.confusinghomework.com. If anyone could take a look and give me some feedback that would be amazing. You can look and just design or functionality or even features. I am up for the criticism.

w3schools is a amazing site to learn basic coding for html/php/javascript/mysql. I used it when I was learning all the time.

There was no error on it at all. It also didn't run the else statement so I am not sure! Also so you don't think I should extend it but instead write another protection function in the questions class? Thansk

I am new to OOP php programming and I am trying to figure out what I did wrong on this. I am trying to call my protection() function in my users class, so I extended my question class and call the protection function but it isn't working. Here is my code for my class_lib: <?php require('dbc.php'); class users { public $email; public $password; public $first_name; public $last_name; public $id; function __construct($e,$p) { $this->email = $e; $this->password = $p; } function protection() { if(!$_COOKIE['user']) { header("location:../login.php"); } } } //new class class questions extends users { public $title; public $question; public $response; public $sub_category; public $date; public $pid; function __construct(){} function newest() { $sql = "SELECT * FROM math ORDER by pid DESC LIMIT 0,5"; $execute = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); while($data = mysql_fetch_array($execute) ) { $this->title = $data['title']; $this->question = $data['question']; $this->pid = $data['pid']; echo '<p class="title">' . $this->title . '<br /></p>'; echo ' <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="questions.php?id=' . $this->pid . '" class="button">Awnser it</a><br /><br /><br />'; } } } ?> Here is the page to call the function: <?php require('../class_lib.php'); $question = new questions(); $question -> protection(); ?>

What exactly is not working? I noticed how you have your code which includes a header() in the body tags which will cause header problems lots of the time. Also I would put name="submit" for the submit button and then put at top of file. if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { do the log in code... }
