$get = $_GET['deleten']; // if not set in the url a null value will be set for $get; if ($get !== "") // null !== ""(string) thus execute what is on the next line

Ever had a look at the smarty library? http://smarty.php.net You sound a bit like me, being picky and everything and not liking bad techniques i really could find myself in the zend framework http://framework.zend.com, go and have a look, maybe it works out as great as it did for me btw being picky just means where perfectionists

I am using the zend framework as well and have some good background in it, pm me and i will help you get a full setup

are you working with multiple database connections? cause if anyone would care to read a manual they would notice that mysql_query() actually have 2 parameters, so try adding the db connection resource (optional is only to be used when you in no way are able to write the parameter): $query = "INSERT INTO .."; $result = mysql_query($query, $dbConnection); if (!$result) die(mysql_error());

sms can be compared to emails, an incoming sms can be handled through HTTP POST you need however to look for a server which supports sms gateways, you just need to redirect that gateway to your script to handle it (store in db or something)

or just write <input type="checkbox" name="check[]" value="1" /> in php you could access it in this manner: <?php echo $_POST['check'][0]; // 1 ?>

if ($_POST['user'] == $user_print) will never be correctly evaluated because at that point $user_print has not declared and is therefor converted to NULL so only when $_POST['user'] is NULL or equivalent the statement will pass

You just want to validate the filesize of the file on the remote against the size of the local file? $filesize1 = filesize($file1); $filesize2 = filesize($file2); if ($filesize1 !== $filesize2) { if ($filesize1 < $filesize2) { /* second is bigger */ } else { /* first is bigger */ } } btw, are your sure this is correct? $goforit = ftp_get($conn_id, $file, $file, FTP_BINARY); // should translate to ftp_get(1, "c:/users/file.bla", "c:/users/file.bla", 2); notice the bold markings

Basic: http://be.php.net/manual/en/ref.classobj.php Advanced: http://be.php.net/oop5.reflection

$lines = file("path/to/file"); foreach ($lines as $line) { echo $line . "<br />\n"; }

This is what you are looking for: <img src="image.php?file=2" width="64" height="64" />

stripslashes()

what you need is a bootstrap file which acts as a frontController: $page = $_POST['page']; $title = "Default Title"; $file = "index.php"; switch ($page) { case "development": $title = "Development title"; $file = "development.php"; break; default: $title = "Default Title"; $file = "index.php"; break; } if (!file_exists(PAGES_DIR . $file)) { $file = "index.php"; $title = "Default Title"; } include_once "header.php"; include_once PAGES_DIR . $file; include_once "footer.php";

you are in serious trouble: http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,37442.0.html

the code is from eCommerce i have been writing templates for it

table: users (id, firstname, lastname, ..) table: songs (id, user_id, name, ..) // get user id $userid = $_SESSION['id']; mysql_query("insert into songs values (null, '$userid', '.. // preferably you would be using prepared query strings instead of this

you are already on the MUST be forum, can't believe you missed this great article: http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/php-security

I made some changes to your code @Goldeneye it is necessary imagine a constant named search having a value foobar, would take a long time to debug <? $top_form = "<form method=\"post\" action=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}\"> <table border=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"2\" bordercolor=\"#333333\" bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"> <tr align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"> <td colspan=\"1\">"; $bottom_form = "</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Enter your search word, name, or phrase</td> <td><input type=\"text\" value=\"{$_POST['search']}\"></td> </tr> <tr align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"> <td colspan=\"2\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"op\" value=\"ds\"> <input type=\"submit\" name=\"Submit\" value=\"Search\"></td> </tr> </table> </form>"; if ($_POST['op'] != "ds") { echo "In the if"; echo "$top_form"."$bottom_form"; } else { echo "in the else"; echo "$_POST['search']"; $item = $_POST['search']; echo "$item"; $sql = 'SELECT * FROM `ddoitems` WHERE `ItemDescription` LIKE "%$item%"'; database_connect(); $result = mysql_query($sql/*, $dbconnection check php.net for the right syntax */) or die(mysql_error()); echo "$top_form"."$bottom_form"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo '<tr>'; echo '<td><div align="center" class="style1">'.$row['ItemName'].'</div></td>'; echo '<td><div align="center" class="style1">'.$row['ItemDescription'].'</div></td>'; echo '<td><div align="center" class="style1">'.$row['Type'].'</div></td>'; echo '<td><div align="center" class="style1">'.$row['QuestName'].'</div></td>'; echo '<td><div align="center" class="style1">'.$row['lvl'].'</div></td>'; echo '<td><div align="center" class="style1">'.$row['Notes'].'</div></td>'; echo '</tr>'; } } ?>

oh didn't know you were using zero-indexing the problem would be that $username is empty at the moment you perform your query or do you include something before your create the db connection? $goforit = ftp_get($conn_id, $file, $file, FTP_BINARY); your remote file is the same as your local file?

having: Personnel_info james jones 333 james .. james .. means that their is something wrong with your query

1. con: maintenance try normalizing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization) it or post it, we could do it for you 2. join (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/join.html) 3. a new row for every song coupled to the uploader

post your code, we can't guess the solution
