[how to send images and html with the mail function]

You probably have to set your headers to HTML, like this:

[code]<?php
$to      = 'nobody@example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Your Name <your_address@example.com>' . "\r\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>[/code]

[How to generate a random ip address?]

Hi,

I'm playing around with a new proxy.

I noticed with other proxies that their ip address get's blocked because so many people use it.

I know that you can get the viewer's IP address using [b]$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'][/b]

Is there a way to change what is return using the remote address superglobal?

Thanks,

Joe

[Explode a word]

Thank you very much!

[Explode a word]

I want to break up a word into it's individual letters so that I can stick things between them, reverse them, whatever.

I knocked up this bit of code:
[code]$word = "Mary had a little lamb";
$wordcount = strlen($word);
$i = "0";
while($i < $wordcount){
$key = "$i";
echo "$word[$key]";
$i = ($i + 1);
}[/code]
which works, but I'm sure that there's a better way to do it. Is there a way to explode the characters in the text or something?

Thanks,

Joe

[make php work in html files]

[quote author=fert link=topic=98964.msg389509#msg389509 date=1151651557]
use change the file extension to .php and then you can use php and html 
[/quote]

I think he means without changing the extension (for example: so it runs on a website that is not php enabled, such as geocities).

I've heard that you can do this with JavaScript. They always say to use this:

[code]<script language="javascript" src="http://whatever/php_script.php."> </script>[/code]

But that's never worked for me. I've also seen this suggested:

[code]<img src="php_script.php" />[/code]

But I only get a red X when I tried it.

Feel free to try them if you like.

I did find a JavaScript snippit that did return the php output, but only the output from the php file and nothing from the original html webpage (no code... nothing). Not only that, but when I tried to refresh the page (after deleting the JavaScript) it wouldn't change. The php output always showed up even with no code in the html file and the php file renamed!

I'm also interested in a way to display a php output on an html page (aside from using an iframe) on a server such as geocities that doesn't support php.

[Help With Foreach]

Thanks wildteen88! It worked.

And thanks for the suggestion Buyocat. It's always a good idea to make it as simple as possible.

[Help With Foreach]

Ok,

I have a file with a table on it:

[code]<table>
<tr><td>Pet</td><td>Owner</td><td>Location</td></tr>
<tr><td>Cat</td><td>John</td><td>City</td></tr>
<tr><td>Dog</td><td>Amy</td><td>City</td></tr>
<tr><td>Dog</td><td>Wayne</td><td>Country</td></tr>
<tr><td>Cat</td><td>Sarah</td><td>City</td></tr>
<tr><td>Cat</td><td>Jack</td><td>Country</td></tr>
</table>[/code]

I want to only show the rows with Cats. So far I have:

[code]$content = file_get_contents($url);  
$content[1] = str_replace("<table>", "", $content[1]);
$content[1] = str_replace("<tr><td>", "", $content[1]);
$content[1] = str_replace("</td></tr>", "", $content[1]);
$content[1] = str_replace("</table>", "", $content[1]);
$content[1] = str_replace("</td><td>", "|", $content[1]);[/code]

If I echo $content[1] I will get:

[b]Pet|Owner|Location
Cat|John|City
Dog|Amy|City
Dog|Wayne|Country
Cat|Sarah|City
Cat|Jack|Country[/b]

I obviously want to explode the data at each "|" but how do I loop through each line? I have been trying to figure out [b]foreach[/b] because that seems to be what I need, but I can't seem to figure it out. :(

Thanks in advance!

You guys are the greatest!

I hope that I will be good enough to contribute as well as benifit.

I finished the code so that it does what I wanted it to do:

[code]<html>
<body>
<form method="post">
<textarea col="50" rows="10" name="str"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<?
$str = str_replace(",", "", $str);
$str = str_replace(".", "", $str);
$str = str_replace(";", "", $str);
$str = str_replace(";", "", $str);
$str = str_replace("'", "", $str);
$str = str_replace('"', '', $str);
$str = str_replace("?", "", $str);
$str = str_replace("!", "", $str);

$array = explode(" ",$str);
$list = array_unique($array);
$print = implode(" ",$list);
echo "$print";
?>

</body>
</html>[/code]

[Word List]

Thanks [b]SemiApocalyptic[/b].

I am trying to figure out implode() right now.

I should have been more precise in my OP. I want to take a block of text (entered via a form) and list each word that was entered, but with only one example of each word (no duplicates).

I thought that the code that I had did that (but in an Array) but I was wrong. It just listed each word in the text. :(

Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Thanks,

Joe

Hi,

I am working on something simular and I would like to have the image broken up into several small pieces (say 9 equal sized pieces, like a tic-tac-toe board) and renamed something like image1-1.jpg, image1-2.jpg, etc...

Is there a simple way of doing this, or do I need to use imagecopy 9 times?

Sounds like you're trying to do a swan dive before you learn how to swim.

Start with this page:
[a href=\"http://www.phpfreaks.com/phpmanual/page/introduction.html\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.phpfreaks.com/phpmanual/page/introduction.html[/a]

and then browse the tutorial.

Also check out:
[a href=\"http://www.php.net\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.php.net[/a]

They also have a tutorial and you can search for functions.

Since you're new, it might be easiest to just install a freeware script

You can find some at:

[Grabbing random variables from an external file]

Hi,

I want to write a script that will pull a random line of text from an external file (such as a txt file) and then break it into peices and insert it into the webpage.

For example:
If the file contained this;

fish;water;plankton
scorpians;desert;insects
eagles;trees;fish

Then it would grab one line at random (say, line #2) and assign the sections to $species, $habitat, and $food respectivly so that I could end up with an output like this:

[b]scorpians[/b] live in the [b]desert[/b] and eat [b]insects[/b].

I don't expect anyone to write this for me (I can wish, but I don't expect), but if you could tell me what commands I need to learn and/or where to learn about them, that would help tremendously!

Thanks!

Joe
