[Help me with this project...]

Heh, I used to use Dreamweaver back like a year ago when I had no idea how to use the functions, but I'm old school now and use normal Notepad.

[Help me with this project...]

Hey, if he chooses to use Dreamweaver, let him. jEdit isn't the best, PHP Designer, Notepad2, other good ones.

[A mysql query]

Deh, dark, you should help him out by stopping out a mysql injection.

 

$id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['category_id']);

if($id){
   if(ctype_digit($id)){ //if you don't have ctype extension on use intval
   $sql = "SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `id`='$id'";
   $res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
      if(mysql_num_rows($res) == 0){
      echo "ID does not exist!\n";
      }else {
      $sql2 = "UPDATE `table` SET `field`='new_row' WHERE `id`='$id'";
      $res2 = mysql_query($sql2) or die(mysql_error());
      echo "Updated";
      }
   }else {
   echo "Invalid ID";
   }
}else {
echo "ID not set";
}

It could be based on your server speed.

[Fread is slow, Is there a better way?]

Does it time out?

[Best way to do a large number of redirects...]

Is there a better way to do this? I like the idea of having a single plain text file containing all the redirections and calling it into a server-side page for processing.

 

File isn't going to write itself, eh?

[Best way to do a large number of redirects...]

400 lines is what? 1-3kb filesize? Should be no worry there.

[form submition]

They could end the script.

 

URL could be: file.php?inj="><h1>WTH</h1><br>DONTFAIL

 

Making the script read:

 

<form action="file.php"><h1>WTH</h1><br>DONTFAIL" method="post">

[form submition]

Then just remove line five or six and replace it with your own variable/error.

 

Using PHP_SELF can be a bad move since the user could implement his or her own code into the URL.

[form submition]

Just define the variables that correspond with your form field names.

 

$name = $_POST['form_field_name_one']; //etc....

 

To see if a value exists just implement the 5th and 6th of my example to fit your own.

 

If you have more than two just continue adding sets of line five and six to meet your requirements

[form submition]

$var = $_POST['variable'];
$var2 = $_POST['variable2'];
$errors = array();

if(!$var){ $errors[] = "Var one is missing!"; }
if(!$var2){ $errors[] = "Var two is missing!"; }

if(count($errors) > 0){
   foreach($errors AS $error){
   echo "<font color=\"red\">$error</font><br>\n";
   }
}else {
echo "both variables are set, you're ready for take off!\n";
}
