Thank you all very much for the help. The script Orio posted works perfect but I too am worried about the security issue. My links are taken from a database so they are not included in the $_GET or $_POST method. Will this still be a security issue for my site? Example: ..mysql query $filename = $row['url']; I then use that $filename for the rest of the script. Will I be fine with that setup? Thanks

hi, I am wondering if anyone can help with this problem. I have a downloads page that lists media files(.mp3, .mov). The problem is that when the user clicks the link, the file opens inside their media player. How can I let the user see the "save as" dialog box instead of immediately playing the file. Thanks for any help:)

Hi, I hope someone can help me with this problem. I am creating a plugins folder that I will use to store php files. I also store other folders within that "plugins" folder. The problem I have is getting the script to read only the the .php files and skip subfolders. Plugins[main folder] ->plugin1.php ->plugin2.php ->screenshot[folder] ->downloads[folder] How to keep the script from checking the folders (screenshots, downloads..) This part of my script filters the main folder and parent but not subfolders if ($file!= "." && $file!= "..") { How do i get that code to not check subfolders

Sorry about that, I went with the first reply using the $i counting. Thanks again

Thank you all very much I figured there was a function to skip it but I wasn't sure which it was. Thanks again.

Hi, I am wondering if someone could help me with this problem. I have an array that contains both key and value. The first key/value is used to store a heading so it is not needed in the rest of the loop. How can I skip that first key/value and display the rest. Example: $myarray = array("key1"=>"heading", "key2"=>1, "key3"=>2....... Without knowing the key/value of the first result, how can I skip it foreach($myarray as $k =>$v){ //if first key skip //else continue the loop } Thanks in advance

Thanks very much. Works great

I am wondering if anyone could help with this problem I would like to know if it's possible to add values while using a foreach loop. In the array below I have values lesser and greater than 10. I was wondering if during the loop I can check if the value is higer than 10 and basically sum all the values greater than 10. Example: $myarray = array(12, 6, 25, 2, 1, 15, 20); foreach($myarray as $val){ if($val >10){ //STARTING ADDING TO THE NEXT VALUE THAT IS GREATER THAN 10 } } Thanks for any help

Thank you very much It works perfectly

Hi, I am wondering if anyone can help with this problem. I would like to get only the first key and value from my array. Example $myarray = array('linkname1'=>'linkurl', 'linkname2'=>'linkurl2', 'linkname3'=>'linkurl3'); What I would like is to get only the first "linkname1" and "linkurl" It will be use in my codes -> <a href="linkurl">linkname1</a> Thanks for any help

Thank you very much. It works perfectly now

hi, I am wondering if anyone could help me solve this issue. I am using a foreach loop and i would like to add a line break after three records then repeat the process. Example: foreach($array as $v){ echo $v.' '; } In that example, it will display ( apples oranges banana pumpkin turnips pineapple beer pepsi) How do i get it to display: apples oranges banana pumpkin turnips pineapple beer pepsi etc.... Notice above that after each three results the next three are placed on a new line. How can I accomplish that with my loop. Thanks very much for any help

Thank you very much. It works great

hi, I am wondering if anyone could help. I have a loop that displays my results and places a comma after each. The problem is that when the last result is displayed, it shows the comma. Example: for loop{ echo $row['test'].', '; } displays... test1, test2, test3, Notice after test3, there is still a comma? How do I remove it and have it display... test1, test2, test3 Thanks for any help

Thank you very much for the link but I have one question. How do I get the name of the random thumb image so I can match it with the large pic. I would like it to display like this <a href="link/to/large/pic1_l.jpg"><img src="link/to/thumb/pic1.jpg"></a> Thanks

hi, I was wondering if anyone could help with this problem. I have created two folders (thumbs/largepics). I would like the script to view randomly a thumb and link to the larger pic. Example thumbs -> img1.jpg, img2.jpg. myimg.jpg largepics -> img1_L.jpg, img2_L.jpg. myimg_L.jpg The script would then choose for example "img2.jpg" then when clicked display "img2_L.jpg" Thanks for any help

Thanks very much. It works perfectly now

Thanks everyone GuiltyGear is close to what i need but the result repeats each keys 1 - 2 2 - 3 3 - 4 4 - 5 The perfect scenario would be the following 1 - 2 3 - 4 5 - 6 7 - 8 I tried the other two examples but my comp nearly crashed from the loops that kept continuing

I have an array that stores ids, each of which is unique. Is there a way to run a for loop and get two keys at a time instead of only one? Example $id = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6); for loop.... echo key 1 echo key 2 next loop echo key 3 echo key 4 and so on.... Each key must not appear twice so once a key is displayed, it will be removed from any further loops. I need it to display two keys at a time because I will be pairing them up for the next part of the script. Thanks for any help

Thank you all very much I have it working great now.

Thanks everyone for the replies AndyB does have the right idea but I am not sure how to implement it. Using that code, how would I know if 32 is a power of 2? I guess for simplicity I could just add those numbers in an array(2, 4, 6.....) then check if total matches in the array. I would prefer if a function could be created instead to check if the total matches, is a power of 2. Thanks

I am creating a tournament script and need to have total matches as a multiple of 2 (2, 4, 8, 16, 32... ). How can i check the number to see if it's ok. example $matchesNum = 38;//obviously this is not a multiple How would I check that number to make sure it was 32 or 64... Thanks for any help

Thank you both very much for the help Either of eregi or cmgmyr's example works great for what I needed.

Hi, I am wondering if someone could help with this. I would like to check if a word exist in a string and if yes do something. example: $string = 'This website is cool'; How to I check if the word 'website' exists in that string? Thanks

Thank you very much . It works perfectly now.
