[Quick dropdown menu help]

many thanks

[help with script]

I also have a feeling that you capitalized the N on 'Name' on this line by accident:
$result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM blogs WHERE [b]Name[/b]=sada');

i tend to do that alot.

maybe it's just 'name' ?

I also just noticed that you started a table inside the while loop.
[code]while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo '<table border=10 width=400 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=3>[/code]


but you close the table [i]after[/i] the while loop
[code]  }
echo '</table>';[/code]

probably not what you want.
You are opening/starting a bunch of tables, and not closing them.

[Quick dropdown menu help]

I have an array and i`d like to make a dropdown from that array

[code]$pages = array("Home" => "home.html", "About" => "about.html", "Crew" => "crew.html");
$arraysize = count($pages);
for($i = 0; $i <= $arraysize; $i++) {
foreach($key as $value) {
echo '<option value="$key">$value</option>';
}
}[/code]

That's what i have, but it isn't working. any ideas?

[Chmod help]

Thanks guys.

Effigy, I would prefer not to turn off apache's indexing, because there might be folders I would want to allow indexing

[Chmod help]

Thanks for the reply.
I did that, but now the main page does not get the image from the logo directory.
so www.example.com, the image won't show.

[Chmod help]

Probably not the right forum, sorry.

Say i have this site:
http://example.com/

The main logo image, is located in http://example.com/images/logos/

Anyone using firefox can right-click the image and select 'view image', opening the image in the browser with the full url on the address bar, like so:
http://example.com/images/logos/someimage.jpg

so if the person deleted 'someimage.jpg' from the address bar, he will be in "http://example.com/images/logos/" viewing all of its contents.

How can i stop that? i set chmod to 711, but then index.php will give me this error:
[quote]Warning: opendir(./images/logos/): failed to open dir: Permission denied in /hsphere/local/home/me/example.com/includes/classes.php on line 13
Could not open directory for main image selection.[/quote]

classes.php is where i have the script to open and select a random image from the logos folder.


I would post my actually site here, but then people could navigate through my files, and i'd rather not let that happen.
I will gladly PM it if needed.

Thank you.

[Getting variable from URL without reloading.]

On top of a page, i have this:

<a href="#?page=home" onclick="getData('home.html', 'newseditor')">Home</a>

This will open the page "home.html" into a textarea so the client can edit it from his browser.

Then i have the form, followed by

[code]if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$editted = $_POST['page_to_edit'];
$fp = fopen($filename, "w") or die ("Could not open $filename. Make sure the file exists.");
fwrite($fp, $editted);
fclose($fp);
}[/code]

The problem is here:
$filename = $_GET['page'];


So when he clicks
<a href="#?page=home" onclick="getData('home.html', 'newseditor')">Home</a>

i need to get the variable 'home', but it won't do it.

So, how can i make php know which file is it going to write to?

Thank you.

[This line gives me an Internal Server Error]

K.
the problem is this:  /dev/
for the rest of this post, let's assume $str  = '/dev/'

so i try replacing the / with --- for testing purposes.

it wont work still. before i even send $str to the database, i replace the / with --- and i still get errors.


[code]function escape_data($data) {
global $dbc;
$data = preg_replace('"/"', '----', $data);
if (ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc')) {
$data = stripslashes($data);
} return mysql_real_escape_string(trim($data), $dbc);
}[/code]

thats what i use to sanitize data. i put every input in the escape_data function you see above.

so if i submit /dev, it will show up as ---dev
if i submit dev/, it will show up as dev--

but if i submit /dev/ i get the internal server error. even though it changes / to --- before even putting it on the db

[This line gives me an Internal Server Error]

On further testing, even if i just post:

/dev/input/event

i get the error. So, perhaps the server thinks i am trying to access that directory?

[This line gives me an Internal Server Error]

I cannot figure out what is wrong.

Problem:
Made a typical blog entry thing. I type the message and submit.
However, when i enter this line:
[b]# /dev/input/event[/b] i get a 500 Internal Server error.
[b]"/dev/input/mice"[/b]  also gives me the same error

but [b]"ZAxisMapping" "4 5"[/b] works. so it's not quotes. it's got something to do with the slashes, i would assume.

Another thing: it only happens on my rented server(redhat). on my localhost(windows), it works fine.



Here is the function i use to sanitize input data:
[code]//function for escaping and trimming data
function escape_data($data) {
global $dbc;
if (ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc')) {
$data = stripslashes($data);
} return mysql_real_escape_string(trim($data), $dbc);
}[/code]

Any thoughts?
Thanks  :)


ps: just to kill the curiosity, those lines are in my xorg.conf file. i want to post my xorg.conf in my site in case i need it in the future. (but obviously can't post because i get that error)

[Getting everything between the first > and the last <]

ahhh. thanks a bunch Obsidian

[Getting everything between the first > and the last <]

Thanks Obsidian.
I can't get it to work on my code though.

Here's a sample line:
[code]&lt;</font><font color="#0000bb">f</font><font color="#007700">&gt;<br>&lt;</font><font color="#0000bb">f</font><font color="#007700">&gt;</font><font color="#ff8000">// news query | display the news&gt;[/code]

The < and > actually got replaced by &lt; and &gt; (its from a highlight_string() function).
So if i used
[code]preg_match('|&gt;l(.*)|&lt;', $text, $match);[/code]
should do it right? because i can't get it to

[Getting everything between the first > and the last <]

Can it be done?

I plan on using preg_match_all with this.

now, i know that preg_match_all("\<.b>(.*)<\/b>/", $a, $e) will match everything between <.b> and  </b> and insert it into the array.
I only need to get everything between the first >  and last < on a line, considering there will be more of them in between.

[I've never had problems with sessions, but what the heck]

Congrats.

thank you.
who would've ever thought that the antivirus program would interfere with sessions.

[Suggestion]

I know there is a sister site to this, ajaxfreaks.com, but that site is not as active as this one.
So, since we already have Javascript/HTML/CSS forums, why not add Ajax to php freaks too? Perhaps blend it with the Javascript forums, so it's Javascript/Ajax, CSS, HTML.

[I've never had problems with sessions, but what the heck]

Im back.
Chips, i am using localhost on windows. But i figured out the problems.
It was my antivirus/malware program. I guess it was stopping the sessions. I turned it off and now it works fine.
Thanks again all.

[I've never had problems with sessions, but what the heck]

I just uninstalled and reinstalled php/mysql on my pc and its giving me the same error still.
id upload it to my hosting server but its down right now

[I've never had problems with sessions, but what the heck]

Thanks.
Maybe there is a problem with the serve and sessions.
