I have just been given some code that is live on a web site. I pulled it down to my local linux machine and the php will not run. I have worked out the issue the php tags are <? scripting ?> it is missing the php. I have a couple of questions how do I get my local linux machine get <? scripting ?> this to work and I have a lot of code that is like this and I am sure that it is no longer secure is this right?

thanks that is what i was looking for

Is there a way to view word.doc in the browser using php. I don't want to modify it just view

I am trying to create a tally by using the get function this is the code so far page one <?php if ($_GET['t'] == ''){ $_GET['t'] = 0; } if ($_GET['q'] == 1){ $answer = "While she is tried."; } else if ($_GET['q'] == 2){ $_GET['t'] = $_GET['t']+1; $tally = $_GET['t']; $answer = "While she is tried."; } else if ($_GET['q'] == 3){ $answer = "While she is tried."; }else { echo '<a href="QuestionOne.php" name="question_one"> Oops you did not select an answer please try again</a>'; } ?> <a href="QuestionTwo.php?t=<?php echo $tally;?>" name="question_two">Question Two</a> This works fine when I send it to QuestionTwo.php i will get 0 or a 1 in the url bar Then I have to ask a question.

Hi phpfreaks I need to know how to create a database that will give me the operation of a calander. I want an example. I have looked around the web but can't seem to find anything that will explain what they are doing. I don't want a script. Any assistance would be great thanks gish

yes but thanks =)

what is the easier way? =)

the answer is this date("m") - $_SESSION ['calendar'] need to change it to this date("m") + $_SESSION ['calendar'] I had a double negative

this function when called will elevate the month or decrease the month depending on the link you press. I know what the issue is date("m") + $_SESSION //works fine date("m") - $_SESSION //this works very very badly does anyone know how to fix it? =) function GetMonth(){ $Name = $_GET['m']; //this needs to be a session switch($Name) { case b: $_SESSION ['calendar']--; return mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m") - $_SESSION ['calendar'], date("d"), date("y")); break; case f: $_SESSION ['calendar']++; return mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m") + $_SESSION ['calendar'] , date("d"), date("y")); break; default: $_SESSION ['calendar']= 0; return mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d"), date("y")); } } echo date("d/m/Y", GetMonth());

thanks

Thanks that is what I was looking for. One quick question I have been looking at this date function. [mday] => 17 I understand this tells me the day of the month How do I find out how many days that are in a month?

I mean some think like this $right_now = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d"), date("y")); echo "Current date: ".date("m/d/y", $right_now); The output would be 6/2/2009 then you press a link <href> Then the output would be 6/3/2009 In Australia is d/m/y

The only code I have is the one I have posted I. All I want to do is print the current date, month, year and if I press a link it goes to the same date, next month, and current year. Thanks of data type information

hi me again (0, 0, 0, date("m")+1, date("d"), date("y") is the m, d, y integers

Sorry newbie what do yo mean by type? This is what I have so far? echo date(mktime(0,0,0,$m,$y)); echo date(mktime(0,0,0,$m+1,$y)); but looking at what you had. I need to goto php.net and have another look.

hi php freaks How do I get the date function to echo its contents and how do I get a date function to echo out the same contents but one month in advance? thanks gishaust

bump anyone

I am creating a online calender, I found a small scripted pulled it apart to find out how it works. now i am trying to create a calender will show three months two months in advance. My problem is I can't the date[mon] to increment up. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? $monthOne['mon']= $monthOne['mon']+ 1; echo $monthOne['mon']; $monthTwo['mon']= $monthOne['mon']+ 2; echo $monthTwo['mon']; // current month $today = getdate(); $firstDay = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$today['mon'],1,$today['year'])); $lastDay = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$today['mon']+1,0,$today['year'])); //month one $monthOne = getdate(); $monthOne['mon']= $monthOne['mon']+ 1; echo $monthOne['mon']; $monthOnefirstday = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$monthOne['mon'],1,$monthOne['year'])); $monthOnelastDay = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$monthOne['mon']+1,0,$monthOne['year'])); //month two $monthTwo = getdate(); $monthTwo['mon']= $monthOne['mon']+ 2; echo $monthTwo['mon']; $monthTwofirstday = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$monthTwo['mon'],1,$monthTwo['year'])); $monthTwolastDay = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$monthTwo['mon']+1,0,$monthTwo['year'])); Gish

Does anyone know of a small forum script with its only function is the user post the question and admin answers in it. I don't need anything else including login. thanks gishaust

thanks The to answer your question is the file include("inc/login.inc");has three headers to chose from. The problem is that when I run the script it gets sent to include("inc/error.inc"); automatically. I need preg_match to recognizes empty strings so that I can stop the error. how do I do that? I googled and can't find anything?

I am using preg_match to protect my scripts. I have two questions, One Is this going to protect the server? Two As it enters the script it sees that the username and password are empty. but I need them to be empty. So how do I get preg_match to let empty strings through. <?phps include("inc/security.inc"); //object security this test to see if the login script is has any scripting issues $script_protector = new security($_POST['username'] , $_POST['password']); $script_protector ->preg_match_0to9($_POST['username'] , $_POST['password']); //security needs to return a 1 to enable the next function if ($script_protector->security_checked() == 1){ include("inc/login.inc"); } else { //needs to return to last figures $_SESSION['information']['error']= 2; include("inc/error.inc"); } ?> <?php class security { private $username; private $password; private $past_string; // this method(function) is setup for numbers only 0 to 9 and a maxium of 40 numbers public function preg_match_0to9 ($username , $password){ if (( preg_match('/^[A-Za-z0-9]+$/',$username) ) or (preg_match('/^[A-Za-z0-9]+$/',$password)) ){ //this is make sure the string is not to long strlen($username); strlen($password); if (($username >= 40) or ($password >= 40) ){ $this->past_string = 0; //the security test is incorrect } else { $this->past_string = 1; //the security test is correct } } else { $this->past_string = 0; //the security test is incorrect } } // this is function is a return value for the method (function) called public function security_checked() { return $this->past_string; } } ?>

thanks

When writing session variables into your script is it better for the web servers security, speed and resource to have the following, $_SESSION['login']= 0; $_SESSION['username']= $username_variable; $_SESSION['address']= $address; $_SESSION['phone']= $phone; or $_SESSION['information'] = array(); $_SESSION['information]['username'] =$username_variable; ; $_SESSION['information']['address']= $address; $_SESSION['information']['phone']= $phone; The reason I am asking is I am about to start a large personal project and it has to have quite a few session variables and I don't want to cause an issue. After looking at the plan I have in place most of them could go into a single array. But I am not sure if that is of any advantage. Gishaust

thanks

hi there is nothing wrong with the code except public function missed_return(){ return $this->$Missed; } public function yes_return(){ return $this->$Yes; } public function no_return(){ return $this->$No; } public function unsure_return(){ return $this->$Unsure; } the variables need to be return $this->Unsure; and so on
