[PHP7 - Confirmed]

Hello

 

I've heard new PHP version (7) is on its way. Since I didn't found any thread laying around already. I guess, lets discuss it.

Estimated remaining time until early alpha is around a year. And stable release is expected to be in 2016/2017.

@Barand: Guru sir, your post is not helpful.

@Jacques1: Thanks for your answer. I'm trying to avoid cross-site scripting attack.

[My PHP questions]

Does anybody know if I have to call htmlentities() on each row from table before displaying it to the user? Like: echo htmlentities($data_from_table) . "<br>" . htmlentities($another_data) . "<br>" . htmlentities($moore_data)

Or I can put it all together like: echo htmlentities($data_from_table . "<br>" . $another_data . "<br>" . $moore_data) ?

Thanks to both of you for your quick replies!

I'm looking into them now.

[My PHP questions]

Hi. I'll like to ask few questions about PHP, as I think they are related to it.

 

I've came across some webpages, what I've spotted is that a webpage displays content but each "page" has different argument and there is no filename.

For example:

"http://www.website.com/?home" is home-like webpage, by changing "/?home" to "/?anotherpage" land me on some other webpage on their website and so on. My question is how is it done? Is it done from PHP?

Another question I wanted to ask is.. I went on InvisionPower.Board forum (such as this PHP Freaks  ). How to force "folders" to be displayed as "files"?

For example:

"http://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/217301-php-freaks-on-facebook/" which links to a thread.

 

Thanks in advance

OMG!

I figured it runs fine, gets username and password plus userId just fine..

Stupid me, I found a mistake... I missed $ in if ($_GET['password'] != $pass[userId])

Sorry for bumping for a such thing xD

( lol we posted on the same time xD )

Thanks for your reply mogosselin!

[Help with simple (array-based) login and verify]

Hi PHP Freaks!

 

I'm one of the newer users here, yep.

And this is my first post here ^.^

I have recently started working on my very simple script in PHP. Parse username/password, perform checks against array to see if username exists and if password is correct for specified user. Print out a message as a finish result.

And here is what my problem is.. So far I have written this code (PHP):

<?php
    // List of users and their password.
    $users = array(1 => 'admin', 2 => 'UserTwo', 3 => 'UserThree', 4 => 'UserFour');
    $pass = array(1 => '1234', 2 => 'second', 3 => 'third', 4 => 'fourth');
    
    // Compare username parameter against users list (check if user exists).
    if (in_array($_GET['username'], $users))
    {
        // User is found. Compare password parameter against pass list corresponding to user ID in array.
        $userId = array_search($_GET['username'], $users);
        // Compare password parameter against pass list (using specific userId to check if password is valid).
        if ($_GET['password'] != $pass[userId])
        {
            echo 'You have entered invalid password.';
        }
        else
        {
            echo 'Welcome, '.$_GET['username'].'!';
        }
    }
    else
    {
        // User is not found.
        echo 'You have entered invalid user name.';
    }
?>  

I guess some of you experienced in PHP understand what I am doing up there

Basically I wanted to parse username/password arguments to the URL. That works just fine ( echo $_GET['username'] . '<br>' . $_GET['password']; )

( Just a note, I use Xampp, so it is http://localhost/login.php?username=admin&password=1234 )

Problem starts at line 9.. I am unsure about that part (I just written it out of my mind and little documentation I have found on their official website) with userId and then comparing it to correspond to the user (like like associating password to specific user id, users[0] = admin to have password 1234, users[1] , and so).

 

Could somebody fix this and post up the code, much appreciated (excuse me for little English mistakes, it is not my native language, I do my best to keep it well)

Also include a little description or just explain it in several words, what/where I messed up

Thanks in advance.
