[Account number help.]

Why do the numbers have to be random? Do they just have to be random-looking, or is it important that they are indeed unpredictable?

just random looking and unique, because a registered user will need that account number to login to his account.

 

One thing is for sure: Random and unique and only 7 digits long will be difficult.

if possible and if you guide me, i want to do it. please guide   

[Account number help.]

not this because it generates alphanumeric random output and i want XY(random, unique integer, fixed length) = XY9162942 or XY6433389

 

Sorry i forgot to mention fixed length in previous post.

[Account number help.]

I am trying to create a registration form where users put their name, email and password only.

 

but i want to write an auto generated account number into database table for each user e.g; XY1234567 where XY should not change 1234567 auto generated random number and no duplicates (in numbers only).

 

example...

 

XY1234567

XY2345678

XY2233455

 

i found code

$num_of_ids = 10000; //Number of "ids" to generate.
$i = 0; //Loop counter.
$n = 0; //"id" number piece.
$l = "AAA"; //"id" letter piece.

while ($i <= $num_of_ids) { 
    $id = $l . sprintf("%04d", $n); //Create "id". Sprintf pads the number to make it 4 digits.
    echo $id . "<br>"; //Print out the id.

    if ($n == 9999) { //Once the number reaches 9999, increase the letter by one and reset number to 0.
        $n = 0;
        $l++;
    }

    $i++; $n++; //Letters can be incremented the same as numbers. Adding 1 to "AAA" prints out "AAB".
}

but its not working as i want. Any help please?

By using $_GET['r]

 

You will do another if/else statement to include the appropriate file.

 

You maybe better of creating a function so you pass $_GET['x'] and $_GET['r'] to it and it returns the path to the file(s) to be included.

 

Please guide me how to do this? If you can share an example?

[javascript attached file not works]

<script type="text/javascript" src="clock.js">

That assumes "clock.js" is in the same directory as the actual script being executed, which is probably not the case. Use a full path to clock.js, or a URL, like src="/assets/js/clock.js" or "http://yoursite.com/assets/js/clock.js".

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="clock.js">
<script type="text/javascript" src="tip.js">

both these files are in same directory along with index.php

tip.jis is working fine but clock.js don't work.

 

You said "you're using php for inline variables. You need to pass them through a parameter function instead"

how can i do this?

[javascript attached file not works]

Edit: Oh I see, it's because you're using php for inline variables. You need to pass them through a parameter function instead if you want to use that js externally.

 

Any example?

[Hyperlink not working as it should be...]

Again, this is not a PHP problem. This is an HTML problem.

 

I am sorry i have posted it by mistake in php section. How can i correct it?

[javascript attached file not works]

Code works when...

<script type="text/javascript">
var currenttime = '<?php print gmdate('F d, Y H:i:s', time() + (1 * 60 * 60))?>'
var montharray=new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December")
var serverdate=new Date(currenttime)
function padlength(what){
return (what.toString().length==1)? "0"+what : what
}
function displaytime(){
serverdate.setSeconds(serverdate.getSeconds()+1)
var datestring=montharray[serverdate.getMonth()]+" "+padlength(serverdate.getDate())+", "+serverdate.getFullYear()
var timestring=padlength(serverdate.getHours())+":"+padlength(serverdate.getMinutes())+":"+padlength(serverdate.getSeconds())
document.getElementById("servertime").innerHTML=datestring+" "+timestring
}
window.onload=function(){
setInterval("displaytime()", 1000)
}
</script>

I want to use second option. Any help?

[Some help needed about one variable in different links]

Someone suggested to use switch case but i don't know how to do it. any help?

[Hyperlink not working as it should be...]

The same thing in a site

<ul class="col-sm-2 col-sm-offset-2">
            <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
            <li><a href="https://secure.payza.com/login">Log In</a></li>
            <li><a href="https://secure.payza.com/signup">Sign Up</a></li>
        </ul>

The site is online.

[Hyperlink not working as it should be...]

I am using xampp.
 

<a href="/">Home Page</a>

The above code (when clicked in browser) takes me to the localhost instead of localhost/website

 

How can i clear this issue?

[Some help needed about one variable in different links]

The answer is yes, but you need to associate whatever GET requests you want to the files you want to include in addition to other files or data (content in an array?)

 

because i am poor in english, maybe i didn't get what you exactly asked. but i will try to explain what i am trying to do.

 

URL from my last reply http://domain.com/x=account&r=news&id=345

 

so,

x=account (include account.php)

 

&r=news(include news.php within account.php)

 

&id=345 (get content from database and display)

 

The example given is similar, you could expand onto it in the same way.

i did copy that example and tried to modify it but failed. because i am new to php.

 

also i found a (mistake?) in your example.

//variable $pages not defined.
//i changed $pages to $links and it worked fine.
if (isset($_GET['x']) && in_array(trim($_GET['x']), $pages)) {

 

 

What i wanted is ...

<a href="get.php?x=news">get1</a>
<a href="get.php?x=updates">get2</a>
<?php
$title = "Home | page";

if (isset($_GET['x'])) {
    if ($_GET['x'] == "news"){
        $title = "News | Page";
        include "news.php";
        }
    elseif ($_GET['x'] == "updates"){
        $title = "Updates | Page";
        include "updates.php";  
}
}
echo "<title>$title</title>";
?> 

 

 but this is for GET x only. how can i add GET r ??

 

Is there a specific reason why you can't use a database? It's the best way to save and display data.

I am using a database dear. I have explained above.  

[Some help needed about one variable in different links]

So - perhaps you can re-write your question using the same terms throughout to make it clearer what you want to do

 

I did not know there is a time limit for editing a post. (misunderstanding sometimes because i am weak in english)

 

The question was, i want to make URLs like;

http://domain.com/x=home

http://domain.com/x=account&r=profile

http://domain.com/x=account&r=news&id=345

http://domain.com/x=account&r=updates&id=567

 

x is used for navbar and r is used for any content on account page.

I asked that can it be done using php only.? without any database connection.

[Some help needed about one variable in different links]

 

I did this to be a little safer using parameter values in an include

Thanks dear for your sharing.   

[Some help needed about one variable in different links]

You mention 3 links.  Then you mention 3 URLs.  What is the connection or isn't there one?

My mistake. links = hyperlinks = URLs   

[Some help needed about one variable in different links]

I have the following three links in same page.

 

http://localhost/folder/file.php?x=link1

http://localhost/folder/file.php?x=link2

http://localhost/folder/file.php?x=link3

 

i want to show URLs as they are...

 

link1 is to include a file named "x.php"

link2 is to include a file named "y.php"

link3 is to include a file named "z.php"

 

Can it be done in php only?

PS: its not about creating hash ids. and i want to do it without any sql db connection.
