What? That 'C' that you see if a part of the indian's headdress. Not to mention that the indian has been our mascot since the 70's. Thanks all for the other comments though, very helpful!

Hello all! My school district has, for the past few years, been having a student develop their website as part of a class at the high school. Last year in September, I took over the website from the previous (now, an alumni) student developer. Over the summer, he was paid to re-design and re-code the website. However, at the end of the summer, he accidentally wiped the webroot, so when I took the job, I had to do the coding more or less from scratch (minus the design, of which he had a backup of) I am looking for UI/usability/functionality criticisms, but please not that this website's development was very rushed as the administration was breathing down my throat to revitalize the destroyed website. http://www.grafton.k12.ma.us Also, I am aware of the menu issues (mis-alignment and the green boxes that appear when you mouse over the tabs disappear too quickly), if anyone has suggestions to fix those, I am all ears. Thank you for any and all comments.

Well it looks like you have coded your script for if 'register_globals' is turned on, and its better for you to code your script using the superglobals $_POST or $_GET You could re-code your script as: if (empty($_POST['month']) || empty($_POST[['day']) || empty($_POST['year'])) (Of course replace the $_POST with $_GET if your form uses GET

You need to replace the single quotes on the header() line with double quotes.

You either need to change all the 's in your query itself (not counting the two ' that signal the beginning and end of a string) to "s or escape them

That implies that the query you used is not valid, although it should show up in an mysql_error()

Your error is indicitive that you have output before your call to session_start() You COULD use output buffering to fix this, or just put the call to session_start() at the top of your page.

Hey All, Some Linux support forums have a feature where, apart from their usual RSS, they have a feed that contains 10-20 of the latest unanswered topics If PHP Freaks were to implement that, it would cut a lot of time for people who look around the PHP Help and other boards looking for topics with 0 replies, they can just look at the feed in their browser. Thanks, Rick

[b]marky167[/b], no one is going to spend their time to do it for you without pay.  Either look at Nuke or phpBB for ideas and create your own or start researching.

You need to extract the mysql results using mysql_fetch_array or any other of it's cousin functions. [code] <?php // Open database connection include 'dbdata.php'; // Check the number of tickets already sold $result = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM tickets WHERE id = '100'"); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); // Determine which table to send the data to and include the script   if ($row['id'] == '100')   {   include('tickets_waiting.php');   }     else   {   include('tickets_success.php');   } ?> [/code]

[code] $fp = fopen ('/user/index.html', 'ab') to $fp = fopen ('/user/index.html', 'ab'); [/code]

Once you connect to the database in php: [code] <?php mysql_query("CREATE DATABASE `a`") OR DIE ('Could not execute query: ' . mysql_error()); ?> [/code] Or go into phpMyAdmin or the MYSQL Command Line and create it

Look into the mod_rewrite if your server uses Apache

"SELECT MAX(`message_id') as message_id FROM `TABLENAME`" The MySQL-driven functions are VERY powerful

Just recently they have found 'collisions; in the md5 equation that opens up a new door for them to possibly be cracked (it is still no easy task). SHA-1 I do not know about, but consider doubling your encryption.

Are you sure that the database 'a' exists?

Correct me if Im wrong but shouldnt $db = new sql_db(localhost, root, zoindok, cesite, false); be $db = new sql_db('localhost', 'root', 'zoindok', 'cesite', false); Unless the first 4 are constants

Try using output buffering before your call to header() (ob_start(), etc) You can use JS Redirects (non-reliant) and META redirects (same)

Well... couldnt you just do something in the order of this: <?php session_start(); $data = $_SESSION['bubba']; mail(__TO__, __SUBJECT__, $data); ?> Replace to and subject with the to email and subejct, respeictivly

No, And you could re-write your replacement func like so.. [code] function replace($array) { foreach ($array as $ref => $value) { $somevar = preg_replace("#\{".$ref."\}#i", $value, $somevar); } } [/code] The array structure is like so: var ref in html file => real value And the $somevar is the code retrieved using file_get_contents()

No, buisnessman in saying that you want to assign the query to a variable, and then set that variable as the mysql_query string as so: [code] $q = "SELECT * FROM table"; $result = mysql_query($q); [/code]

if ($_POST['delete']){ mysql_query("DELETE * FROM message WHERE messageID='$delete'"); } to if ($_POST['delete']){ mysql_query("DELETE * FROM message WHERE messageID='".$_POST['delete']."'); }

Only files included or required will be parsed as PHP, not fopen or file_get_contents and as I said before, you cannot perform any operation on the include statement, but you can do whatever the hell you want with the stuff that is returned from the included file

Please point out any holes in my function but this is a simple version of what i've been using lately: <?php function parse_BBCode($input_str) {   preg_match("#\[b\](.*?)\[b\]#i", $input_str, $matches);   $input_str = preg_replace("#\[b\](.*?)\[\\b\]#i", "<b>".$matches[1]."</b>", $input_str);   ... more BBCode->HTML regexs return $input_str;   } ?>

Add an 'OR DIE ('Could not Execute Query Because: '.mysql_error()); to the end of your mysql_query statement
