Both scripts are poor, but the second one is even worse than the first.
First of all, you can't just dump a PHP value into your HTML markup, especially when that value comes from the user. This makes your application wide open to cross-site scripting attacks and leads to all kinds of bugs. Every value which isn't hard-coded must be escaped with htmlspecialchars().
Mixing PHP logic and HTML markup is generally poor style. It quickly turns your application into an unreadable, unmaintainable mess. One of the most important principles of modern programming is that separate aspects should in fact be separated: The PHP code is for the logic, the HTML markup is for the presentation. Both are only loosely coupled; for example, instead of generating an HTML document, you might as well create a PDF file or an Excel sheet or whatever.
So what you should do is keep your PHP and your HTML separate: Put all the code on top of the script and move all the HTML to the bottom. When you're more experience, you should also consider using a template engine like Twig.
Last but not least, you really need to start writing proper HTML. Maybe this was just a quick example, but invalid markup and ancient elements like font are just lame.
A sanitized version of the code might look like this:
<?php // The parameter may or may not be present; we need to actually check this. $color = null; if (isset($_GET['clr'])) { $color = $_GET['clr']; } ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> <?php if ($color): ?> <p>The color you chose is: <?= htmlspecialchars($color, ENT_QUOTES | ENT_SUBSTITUTE, 'UTF-8') ?></p> <?php else: ?> <p>Please choose a color</p> <?php endif; ?> </body> </html>I personally don't like mixing PHP and html code for it makes it confusing it confusing for me
. I personally would do the following instead:<?php // The parameter may or may not be present; we need to actually check this. $color = null; if (isset($_GET['clr'])) { $color = htmlspecialchars($_GET['clr'], ENT_QUOTES | ENT_SUBSTITUTE, 'UTF-8'); } ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> <?php if ($color) { echo "<p>The color you chose is " . $color . ". </p>\n"; } else { echo "<p>Please choose a color</p>\n"; } ?> </body> </html>That way you can see what is going on in PHP even though it has html in it. I know I have gotten into some heated debates in other forums over this and at one time I thought the other way. However, the main thing is that the php is secure no matter what way you do it.

Look at my signature below for a login/registration script....I really hate tooting my own horn. You can even find it in mysqli or PDO format, I personally would recommend the PDO tutorial for that's one I'm most comfortable with.

The following is how I would go about doing it in CSS:
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style> .clearfix:before, .clearfix:after { content: " "; display: table; } .clearfix:after { clear: both; } .clearfix { *zoom: 1; } body { font-size: 100%; padding: 0; margin: 0; } div.header_box { position: fixed; top: 0; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; width: 100%; max-width: 100%; height: 100%; max-height: 60px; z-index: 200; } div.header { width: 100%; max-width: 978px; height: 60px; text-align: center; background-color: #000; z-index: 200; padding: 0; margin: 0 auto; } div.container { position: relative; top: 60px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; width: 100%; max-width: 978px; height: auto; background-color: orange; z-index: 100; padding: 10px 30px; margin: 0 auto; } h1 { font-family: "Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", Palatino, serif; font-size: 1.4rem; color: #fff; } p { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2rem; line-height: 1.5; color: #fff; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="header_box"> <div class="header clearfix"> <h1>My Website</h1> </div> </div> <div class="container"> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.

Well I'm going to buck the trend - For best performance place your JavaScript files at the BOTTOM of the HTML page (That way you page can fully load).
.... <script>JavaScript</script> </body> </html>

Grabbing the Results is even easier, I made a little addition to the script:
<?php /* Make the Mysqli Connection */ $con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "username", "your_password", "myblog"); // Check connection if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error(); } if (isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit'] == "Enter") { /* Set the SQL Statement */ $sql = "INSERT INTO article (title, content, author) VALUES ( ?, ?, ?)"; /* Prepare an SQL statement for execution */ $stmt = mysqli_prepare($con, $sql); /* Binds variables to a prepared statement as parameters */ mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "sss", $title, $content, $author); /* Grab the variables from the user's input */ $title = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'title', FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS); $content = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'post', FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS); $author = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'author', FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS); /* Execute the Statement */ mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt); /* Close State */ mysqli_stmt_close($stmt); } ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>PHP BLOG</title> </head> <body> <form action="" method="post"> Author: <input type="text" name="author"> <br> Title: <input type="text" name="title"> <br> Post: <br><textarea name="post"></textarea> <br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Enter"> </form> <br> <br> <?php $query = "SELECT title, content, author FROM article ORDER by id DESC LIMIT 100"; if ($stmt = mysqli_prepare($con, $query)) { mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt); mysqli_stmt_bind_result($stmt, $title, $content, $author); while (mysqli_stmt_fetch($stmt)) { echo "<h1>" . $title . "</h1>\n"; echo "<p>" . $content . "</p>\n"; echo "<p>" . $author . "</p>\n"; } mysqli_stmt_close($stmt); } ?> </body> </html> -
I've decided to help you out, you were close. I made comments in the code in order for you to see it step-by-step. I'm assuming in your table you have an id that auto increments and is the primary key.
<?php /* Make the Mysqli Connection */ $con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "username", "your_password", "myblog"); // Check connection if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error(); } if (isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit'] == "Enter") { /* Set the SQL Statement */ $sql = "INSERT INTO article (title, content, author) VALUES ( ?, ?, ?)"; /* Prepare an SQL statement for execution */ $stmt = mysqli_prepare($con, $sql); /* Binds variables to a prepared statement as parameters */ mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "sss", $title, $content, $author); /* Grab the variables from the user's input */ $title = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'title', FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS); $content = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'post', FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS); $author = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'author', FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS); /* Execute the Statement */ mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt); /* Close State */ mysqli_stmt_close($stmt); /* Close Connection */ mysqli_close($con); } ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>PHP BLOG</title> </head> <body> <form action="" method="post"> Author: <input type="text" name="author"> <br> Title: <input type="text" name="title"> <br> Post: <br><textarea name="post"></textarea> <br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Enter"> </form> </body> </html> -

....and before I could do that I had to walk http://www.jrpepp.com/displayPage.php?page=188 No, one here is going to write you the code for these forums are to help learn.
-
Maybe something like?
$calendarDay = new DateTime( $month . ' ' . $day . ', ' . $year ); $age = $born->diff($calendarDay);
I just wrote first post on how easy it is to do it this way and the learning part is actually figuring it out on your own (in my opinion).
-
Or you could just do this
<?php $born = new DateTime("August 28, 1964"); $now = new DateTime(); echo $now->format("F j, Y"); // Output August 29, 2014 format: echo '<br>'; $age = $born->diff($now); echo "I am " . $age->y . " years old<br>";More info on DateTime() here: http://php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php

I didn't do the onclick warning, but I figure you can figure that out. That's just making the page spiffy anyways.
This is how I would do it, though it could be modified to fit your needs, specially if you're pulling in the $user variable from someplace else.<?php $id=64; // Temporay id variable: $user = 'Clint Eastwood'; // Temporary user name variable: ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Home Page</title> </head> <body> <div class="record" > <div class="delete-record"> <a class="delete" data-user="<?php echo $user; ?>" data-id="<?php echo $id; ?>" href="delete.php">Delete Record</a> </div> <span id="result"></span> </div> <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(function() { var $delBtn = $('a.delete'), $myURL = $('a.delete').attr('href'), $user = $('a.delete').data('user'), $id = $('a.delete').data('id'); console.log($myURL, $user, $id); $delBtn.on('click', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); var params = { id: $id, user: $user }; // Set parameters var myData = jQuery.param( params ); // Set parameters to corret AJAX format $.ajax({ type:"post", url:$myURL, // Set the URL to from the href attribute in the anchor tag: data: myData, success:function(info){ $('#result').html(info); // Display the result back when deleted: } }); // End of Ajax function: }); // End of Delete Button }); // End of Doc Ready Function: </script> </body> </html>Below is the delete.php file that I tested it out with:
<?php echo $result = $_POST['id'] . ' ' . $_POST['user'];
-
If you just want a simple CSS solution -
body{ min-height: 1000px; max-height: auto; overflow-y : auto; }The above code will make sure that your <footer> always starts after a minimum height of 1000px. So, when content is less, footer starts after 1000px and if body content is big, it automatically gets pushed down.
Oops, I didn't see the overflow-y, but I still don't like the solution for the simple fact that you are relying on information that could possibly be discarded (from a design point of view in the future) because of the overflow. Though it does work.

I have made an online quiz https://www.pepster.com/ in php, jQuery and Ajax, but with that said I think you logic is reversed. You should wait on the user's response, may be something like:
<?php $result['question'] = 'Who portrayed Ferris Bueller in "Ferris Bueller\'s Day off"?'; $result['answer1'] = 'Tom Hanks'; $result['answer2'] = 'Matthew Broderick'; $result['answer3'] = 'Alan Ruck'; ?> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <?= '<h1>' . $result['question'] . '</h1>'; ?> <form action="myQuiz.php" method="post"> <input type="radio" name="answerA" value="A"> <?php echo $result['answer1']; ?> <br> <input type="radio" name="answerB" vluee="B"> <?php echo $result['answer2']; ?> <br> <input type="radio" name="answerC" value="C"> <?php echo $result['answer3']; ?> <br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html>
Then check against the database table against the user's response.
If you want to get a detail look into how to build a quiz I made a tutorial: http://www.jrpepp.com/tutorialTrivia.php
Note: the tutorial doesn't match the actual game play for I have been improving the trivia game myself, but it should give you an idea how to go about building a php quiz.

Here's something I did for a college course - http://jsfiddle.net/Strider64/3G7nP/
It's just a simple accordion and all I did was convert it over to information fruits, veggies, and dairy for my script had images and my own lightbox attached to it. I have been making my own library of scripts that way I don't have to re-invent the wheel every new project. Anyways, I hope it will help you out a little.
It might have a few quirks in it, for like I said I converted it over from an old college project.

I used to run a bbs (bulletin board service who don't know what that is) and even then people could get double accounts. I once had the notion of only having one phone per account (Back then verification was done by bbs software actually calling back the user's computer), but thought that a household could have more than one person for that phone (I know you are thinking boy was I stupid, but remember I was only 13-16 at the time). The only way I can think of not having people creating double accounts is having a membership fee, but having run a bbs for a long time I know from past experience people are cheap and want everything for free.

"One question for the Tom Hanks move had the answers "Castaway" and "Cast Away". Really? That's splitting hairs a bit isn't it?" Well, there is a movie named Castaway (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092732/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1), so not really.
Joking aside, I realize my scoring system is kind of messed up right now, for I have been working implementing random questions and tweaking other things in the code. I plan on going to a certain number of question per day or a way to exit out of the questions, plus I will have a visual queue on how many questions are left ( 10 out 20 for example). Just getting the game switched over from Flash has been a chore, but like I said I have vast areas that need improving, so maybe I will lower my estimate down to 40-45 percent done. I will eventually have a better scoring system ( I have something that I have in back of mind that I am trying to implement). I will fixing the links still working after time has run out or answered (where they won't be links), with flash it was simple for all I had to do was disable the event listener. sigh. I will be diffidently improving the visuals and using a lot of your suggestions. I'll be editing my questions and answers when I get time to get rid of the grammatical and spelling errors.
Thanks for the input.

I'm in the process of writing an online movie trivia game in PHP, Ajax and jQuery, I have completed about 65 percent in what I want to achieve. I have it where users can add their own movie questions and once they are approved by me they will appear in the game. I eventually want to make the game play better and have where a person can log on via social media (Facebook, Google+, etc). Here's the link to the website: https://www.pepster.com/
Everything is original or have permission to use, I converted an old Flash trivia game that I developed in college and I have been spending the last month or two developing this website (along with my main website). I know haven't critique other websites, but I have notice there isn't much activity going on here lately, but I promise I will in the future. I'm look for input on game play, new features that you might like to see and over website design.
Best Regards,
John

To pull it from a database table is even easier
<?php # User class - Store user info and functions to access/control the flow of data. class User { // The member attributes containing required and optional information. // The attributes must correspond to the database table columns: private $id = NULL; private $userType = NULL; // Required (assigned enum) private $username = NULL; // Required private $email = NULL; // Required private $pass = NULL; // Required private $fullName = NULL; private $validation_code = NULL; private $address = NULL; private $city = NULL; private $state = NULL; private $zipCode = NULL; // Method returns the user ID: public function getId() { return $this->id; } // Grab the user's username: public function getUsername() { return $this->username; } // Grab the user's full name: public function getFullName() { return $this->fullName; } // Grab the password: public function getPass() { return $this->pass; } public function getUserType() { return $this->userType; } // Clear the password once user is logged in: public function clearPass() { $this->pass = NULL; } public function getEmail() { return $this->email; } // Method returns a Boolean if the user is an administrator: public function isAdmin() { return ($this->userType == 'author'); } public function isSysop() { return ($this->userType == 'sysop'); } public function isNewUser() { return ($this->userType == 'public'); } // Method returns a Boolean indicating if the user is an administrator // or if the user is the original author of the provided page: public function canEditPage(Page $page) { return (($this->isAdmin() && ($this->id == $page->getCreatorId()))); } // Method returns a Boolean indicating if the user is an administrator or an author: public function canCreatePage() { return ($this->isAdmin() || $this->isSysop()); } }Then you could do something like:
// Validate the form data: if (isset($_POST['action']) && $_POST['action'] == 'loginUser') { // Check against the database: $query = 'SELECT id, userType, username, email, pass, fullName, address, city, state, zipCode FROM users WHERE username=:username'; $stmt = $pdo->prepare($query); $stmt->execute(array(':username' => $_POST['username'])); $stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_CLASS, 'User'); $stored_user_data = $stmt->fetch(); // More code goes here.....I pulled this from one of my scripts.

Have you looked into array_merge()? http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.array-merge.php and there recursive array functions http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.array-merge-recursive.php there as well that might do the trick for you. However, i have encountered problems myself if the array starts getting really huge when using recursive, but that could had just been me.

Since you're going back to the drawing board, you might as well look into mysqli or PDO (my recommendation) for mysql is depreciated.

While I'm not advocating copying the form exactly, but you could use Firefox's Firebug or Chrome's Web Developer's Tools to see how the form is coded to create one that is similar? Just a suggestion?

While ignace in my opinion is a more elegant and better solution(s), I think the following would prevent duplication if you added this to the adam_bray's class:
// Empty clone magic method to prevent duplication: private function __clone() { } -
I found a good way to test it is take the url from one browser (while logged in) and try it in another browser. It won't allow you to stay logged in. I know I have tried it, it works like a charm.

If you know the items to be unchecked or checked then why don't you just update them? I'm assuming that each item has an unique id, thus you could just update the selected id rows.
Interestingly I have built something similar and all I do is :
$id = $_POST['id']; if ( isset($_POST['checked'])) { $checked = $_POST['checked']; $query = 'UPDATE thelist SET checked=:checked, dateAdded=NOW() WHERE id=:id'; $stmt = $pdo->prepare($query); $result = $stmt->execute(array(':checked' => $checked, ':id' => $id)); }I do this real time using AJAX, but this could be modified to something that you are doing. I am guessing that it will entail using array and a loop.
To see a working example of what I'm talking about : http://www.thegrocerylist.us/
I would also break down what you do in sections (methods/functions), for example add function, update function(s) and delete functions. You'll be surprise that you will have about the same amount of code ( maybe even less).
