[How to prevent media link from playing when clicked]

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

[How to prevent media link from playing when clicked]

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:)

[How to list php files in directory.]

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

[[SOLVED] How to skip first result in array foreach loop]

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

[[SOLVED] Is it possibe to sum values while in loop?]

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

}

 

}

[[SOLVED] How to add a <br> after 3 results?]

I am using a foreach loop and i would like to add a line break after three records then repeat the process.

In that example, it will display ( apples oranges banana pumpkin turnips pineapple beer pepsi)

 

How do i get it to display:

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"

[[SOLVED] How to get two keys from array loop?]

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

[[SOLVED] How to get two keys from array loop?]

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

 

 

[[SOLVED] How to check if multiple of 2?]

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

[[SOLVED] How to check if multiple of 2?]

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

[[SOLVED] How to check if multiple of 2?]

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...
