Thank you allworkandnoplay, that was very helpful.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to teach myself php by reading php.net and diving in to code head first. It's going pretty well so far as I've been able to meet some useful stuff but I've kinda reached a roadblock here and was wondering if you guys can "unstuck" me. For the life of me I can't figure out what this is supposed to do. if($ipsclass->input['act'] == "Arcade") { $ipsclass->input['autocom'] = "arcade"; } From the context of what the page does I deduce that it checks to see whether act = Arcade and if it is it sets $ipsclass->input['autocom'] to "arcade" but I have no clue what the $ipsclass->input part does. Is it like a function called "input" ? Is $ipsclass a variable, a function, or something else I've never heard of? Any light that could be shed on this would be appreciated, because I'm lost. It looks like a powerful function which could save me a lot of typing. Thanks for your time, H²

No, unfortunately I don't have admin access.

Hey all, I'm trying to block a few computers from my workplace (or more accurately the people who use them) from my website. My first thought was to use IP addresses but unfortunately I guess because of the way our network is set up some computers have the same IP address so if I blocked by IP I'd end up blocking good people as well as the bad apples. So I was wondering if there is some sort of unique computer identifier that can be captured using php I could use to ensure I'm only blocking the people I want to. I can log in to their computers (using my own ID of course) and get any info needed while they're not there so getting the info wouldn't be a problem. I don't really want to create a login system because I want it to look like the site just isn't working for them. (which wouldn't be a stretch because my web host sucks) Thanks for reading!

Thanks for nothin! :D

Hi,     I'd like to create a php page where once a user enters all their info in to a form it'll email me their info but also send the price of the item to a paypal field so they don't have to type it in themselves. The reason I need this is because the prices of services on my site will be dynamic. Example Guy buys something on my site for $3.17 he fills out the form and clicks submit and then it takes him to paypal and it's got the payee (me) info already there and the price field has 3.17 in it automatically. I imagine this would have something to do with the POST function but I'm not %100 clear on how to use it. Thanks for your time, H²
