Ok so i have been playing with my site for a while and getting there very slowly... but heres the rub i am DYSLEXIC and am having issues following a tutorial and the code therein... the tutorial / code is over at http://www.scriptplayground.com/tutorials/php/Tag-Cloud/ and where i am at is [code] <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> .tag_cloud { padding: 3px; text-decoration: none; } .tag_cloud:link { color: #81d601; } .tag_cloud:visited { color: #019c05; } .tag_cloud:hover { color: #ffffff; background: #69da03; } .tag_cloud:active { color: #ffffff; background: #ACFC65; } </style> </head> <body> <?php function get_tag_data() { $host = "localhost"; $dbname = "###"; $dbuser = "###"; $dbpass = "###"; $connection = mysql_connect($host, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die(mysql_error()); $db = mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error()); $result = mysql_query("SELECT uid ,firstname ,lastname FROM user ORDER BY uid DESC limit 20"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $arr[$row['firstname, lastname']] = $row['count']; } ksort($arr); return $arr; } function get_tag_cloud() { $min_font_size = 100%; $max_font_size = 250$; $tags = get_tag_data(); $minimum_count = min(array_values($tags)); $maximum_count = max(array_values($tags)); $spread = $maximum_count - $minimum_count; if($spread == 0) { $spread = 1; } $cloud_html = ''; $cloud_tags = array(); // create an array to hold tag code foreach ($tags as $tag => $count) { $size = $min_font_size + ($count - $minimum_count) * ($max_font_size - $min_font_size) / $spread; $cloud_tags[] = '<a style="font-size: '. floor($size) . 'px' . '" class="tag_cloud" href="http://www.mouse.nodstrum.com/full_profile?u$uid . '" title="\'' . $firstname $lastname . '\' profile">' . htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($tag)) . '</a>'; } $cloud_html = join("\n", $cloud_tags) . "\n"; return $cloud_html; ?> //Here is some example HTML to call this tag builder. <h3>Sample Tag Cloud results</h3> <div id="wrapper" <!-- BEGIN Tag Cloud --> <?php print get_tag_cloud(); ?> <!-- END Tag Cloud --> </div> </body> </html> [/code] okay, so it is only likely to be a missing ; or me mixing $uid and $did <b>BUT</b> if anyone can help i would be most appreciative many thanks Mouse

My first SQL trial... but where am i going wrong? [Code] <?php // connect to database $host = "localhost"; $dbname = "###"; $dbuser = "###"; $dbpass = "###"; $connection = mysql_connect($host, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die(mysql_error()); $db = mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error()); // Bah Humbug! i will have this work!!! $max = mysql_query("SELECT MAX(uid) FROM user") or die ("nope. Didn't work...!"); echo $max; ?> [/Code] Ok so this is my first SQL trial... but where am i going wrong? i get the message "Resource id #3" where i was expecting to see "14"

I have a problem, which I am sure is easy enough to work out but hey, if only my PHP skills were better! Problem. Have a look at my member profile page [http://mouse.nodstrum.com/full_profile.php?u=11], in the top right hand corner is the “Tim’s Time With Disney” box… I want to add the content dynamically. In the Database there are six relevant tables, A, B, C, D, E, and F and each of them has the following contents: [code] # Dump of table A `did` int(9) NOT NULL auto_increment, `uid` int(9) NOT NULL default '0', `start` int(4) NOT NULL default '0', `finish` int(4) NOT NULL default '0', `Job1` int(1) NOT NULL default '0', `Job2` int(1) NOT NULL default '0', `Job3` int(1) NOT NULL default '0', `Job4` int(1) NOT NULL default '0', `Job5` int(1) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (`did`) ) TYPE=MyISAM; [/code] What I (think I) am aiming to do is roughly… Look in table a >> are there values in ‘Start’ and ‘finish’ >> if so, then put in the right logo >> on the next line echo $start & $finish >> list the ‘jobs’ where there is a ‘1’ not a ‘0’ >> move on to the next table and repeat. If a PHP guru type could give me a pointer or two I’ll go on to do the rest. As I have said before, I hate asking for code, but as a dyslexic learning to write new stuff is a bugger and I need a few pointers. Many thanks Mouse

I have been using a language filter to add tooltips (informative mousovers) to my site but I had an issue with the filter finding keywords within the added mousover script… erm… a little clearer? Well if I used “Duck” as a keyword and then I put the phrase “Donald Duck” into the mouesover explanation the function died so I tried this… I reversed all the content with [code] <?php $outputtext = strrev($inputtext); echo $outputtext ?> [/code] So “Donald ‘Fauntleroy’ Duck He usually wears a sailor shirt and cap — but no pants (except when he goes swimming). Although usually easygoing, Donald's most famous trait is his short and often explosive temper. Donald's famous voice, and semi-intelligible is one of the most identifiable voices in the world” Became “dlrow eht ni seciov elbaifitnedi tsom eht fo eno si elbigilletni-imes dna ,eciov suomaf sdlanoD .repmet evisolpxe netfo dna trohs sih si tiart suomaf tsom sdlanoD ,gniogysae yllausu hguohtlA .)gnimmiws seog eh nehw tpecxe( stnap on tub — pac dna trihs rolias a sraew yllausu eH kcuD yoreltnuaF dlanoD” then I used a little CSS to put it right again… [code] .backwards {unicode-bidi:bidi-override; direction: rtl;} [/code] Well I thought so… but have a look for yourself what happens… http://mouse.nodstrum.com/backwards.php Any ideas??? Please Mouse

Better rude word filter... when they change le++er5 for characters
Mouse replied to Mouse's topic in PHP Coding Help
Shoz, thank you very much for all your assistance on the bad word filter. It is much appreciated! I think you’re on to a good thing with the switchable filter, It’ll preserve personal expression and peoples sensibilities. So yes… and the false positives would become a null issue. For my part I have been working on the bad words array/list. (I don’t have php on my works laptop.) I was also thinking that as a combined project it should be posted on the site for use by all… what would you say? Again, many thanks Mouse -

Better rude word filter... when they change le++er5 for characters
Mouse replied to Mouse's topic in PHP Coding Help
ok, what if we went for take each word, explode it, if first character is a letter then this is a word carry on filtering if you find a space then go to next group if you find a number before you find a space treat as bad_word if first character is a number then this is a number group carry on filtering if you find a space then go to next group if you find a letter before you find a space treat as bad_word ok, your stuffed if you're telling the world about your love of U2, otherwise you should be ok... what do you think?

I am using a simple but effective “bad word” filter on my site – Bad_word Filter code: Code: [code] $bad_words = explode('|', 'badword1|badword2|badword3|etc|etc'); foreach ($bad_words as $naughty) { $comments = eregi_replace($naughty, "#!@%*#", $comments); } [/code] but as always when you solve one little problem you come up with another, those pesky kids and their rude #!@%*# words. As I’ve added words to the filter they are replaced with other words where one or more characters have been replace with symbols or digits. i.e. in the word ‘*****’, [sorry for any offence to Meredith Brooks fans, or anybody else for that matter] this is easily be filtered on its own using a list, but the same word spelt w1tch, wi+ch etc. could be equally offensive. Any ideas? (Short of trying to work out every connotation of every word) Mouse [b]MOD EDIT(shoz): edited for language[/b]

Note to self:- I should explain this better… Ok so here goes. I haven seen this done much but I am sure it is out there… I have set up a page on my site where I intend to offer RSS or Atom feeds from several blogs on a similar or complimentary theme to my main site. The page is at http://mouse.nodstrum.com/blog_links.php and I am just wondering how the adding feeds thing works. There must be a trick to it but I am at a loss where to start. I have looked around for a simple tutorial or even a prewritten script but to no avail… Can anyone point me in the right direction? Mouse

Hi all, My php skills are ok, and I thought I’d got things sorted but… my site will be heavily dependant on word of mouth for its proliferation so I used a “tell-a-friend” script. Put it on line and 12 hours later my first spammer hit and I took the script offline! So, does anyone have any suggestions, scripts, ideas on how a script can be made more secure? To be honest I am now getting bogged down with work on other areas of the site and could use a ready-made script… Many thanks Mouse

if date then do this if not go do that.... ????? Grrrrrr!!!!
Mouse replied to Mouse's topic in PHP Coding Help
i think i should also point out that while the site is mone, i tend to do mostly the design side and let my coding partner do the back end bits... but pride is getting to me and i need to do some of the coding myself... Mouse
