[[SOLVED] Upload from a Link?]

You need to have allow_url_fopen set to true in your config. fopen and fread work with binary as well as text data, so the filetype doesn't matter.

[[SOLVED] Upload from a Link?]

You don't, at least not in the normal way.  Use fopen to turn the url into a stream, then read it's contents and write those into a file on your server.

[Flash and PHP]

My knowledge of flash is basically nonexistant but I believe you can make a call to a url and get the output?  What you'd basically need to do is an AJAX call but using flash instead of javascript.  Have your swf call the php script, every second maybe, and the script would output whatever you needed to know in a form you can then parse in flash.

 

You might want to look up something called AMFPHP - not sure what it does but I heard that it is good for working with Flash and PHP.

 

The tutorial below is for a Flash-based email form, but it gives you the basics:

You can read about superglobals here:

http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php

[date display]

That'll hit errors (you've used commas instead of periods). Try this:

while($row2=mysql_fetch_array($exec2,MYSQL_BOTH))
                        {               
                           echo'<tr>';
      
                  
                           echo"<td width=100 align=center>".substr('$row2[datePosted]',0,10)."</td>";
               
}

 

[[SOLVED] MySQL "UPDATE" - undesired result]

In the UPDATE, $player_income should be $players_new_income, no?

[Need Help with SMF RSS I'm Making]

mysql_query("SELECT columns FROM table WHERE column1 NOT IN (forum1,forum2,forum3)");

 

The section in the brackets can be passed as an array, just do this:

mysql_query("SELECT columns FROM table WHERE column1 NOT IN (".implode(",",$unwanted_forum_array).")");

[any tutorial for these php url/link technique?]

The $_GET superglobal is used to pass variables across pages using the url.  For example, if you had "index.php?foo=bar", then you could access that as "$_GET['foo'] = bar".  $_POST is the superglobal mainly used for forms and $_REQUEST is sort of in between.  I've never needed to use $_REQUEST.

[[SOLVED] Random doesn't pick a value anymore..]

$PercentageAddOn = $PercentageResults[$PercentageKey];

should be:

$PercentageResults = $PercentageAddOn[$PercentageKey];

 

Now, $PercentageResults would be equal to 1.32

[Interrupting long While Loops with heading rows]

You can do it 2 ways.  Either limit the sql query to 20 results and have multiple queries, or have some sort of counter that increases each time the loop is executed.  When it gets to 20 (or a multiple thereof), include the headings.

 

<?php
$i = 0;
while($array = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
    if(fmod($i,20) == 0)
    {
        //echo heading
    }
    //echo current line
}
?>

[[SOLVED] Login Password]

Simply encrypt the input at login and compare the hashes.  It's probably easier to use a hash function such as md5 or sha1 for this.  Simply execute the function, then compare.

<?php
$password = sha1($_POST['password']);
$id = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['id']);

$sql = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE id= '$id' and password = '$password'";
?>

 

 

[[SOLVED] saving in different directory]

When dealing with directories on the server, you need to use \ instead of /.

$cwd = $cwd."/".$filedir."/";

should be

$cwd = $cwd."\\".$filedir."\\";

 

Also,

<form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" method="post">

should be (unless your server supports short tags):

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post">

 

EDIT:

Your filedir isn't being passed to the second page.  You can pass it via a hidden input in your form:

<input type="hidden" name="filedir" value="<?php echo $filedir;?>">

or add it as a GET:

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?value=$filedir";?>" method="post">

[[SOLVED] Database problems. . .]

You need to create a table called buddies.  Use the following SQL or use phpMyAdmin:

 CREATE TABLE `dowmodsc_pico`.`buddies` (
`ID` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,
`userID` INT NOT NULL ,
`buddyID` INT NOT NULL
) ENGINE = InnoDB 

 

You can then insert buddies using the following SQL query:

INSERT INTO buddies (userID,buddyID) VALUES ('1','2');

Where userID and buddyID relate to the relevant userid from the users table.

[[SOLVED] Server and Document Root settings in Apache]

WAMP doesn't set doc_root out of the box.  You need to go into the php.ini file (Config files>php.ini on the WAMP menu) and search for doc_root (line 433).  Set it to the doc root, usually "C:\wamp\www".

[function include help?]

That doesn't have the function or the include in anywhere...

[function include help?]

You can live without them, I was referring to the fact that the function is returning a value but you're not doing anything with it.  You either need to echo it or assign it to a variable.

[function include help?]

RemoveXSS() needs to be assigned to a variable.

 

ie.

$input = RemoveXSS($_REQUEST['input']);

Can't you use fgets()?

<?php
$handle = fopen("file.txt", "r");

echo $firstline;
?>

[[SOLVED] I've Stuffed up... Big]

You're declaring session_start() more than once.  This can happen if you have it in multiple files and then include them together in the same file.  Either put it in a completely separate file and use require_once() to ensure it doesn't get repeated or only use it in the final file (ie. the one the user views).
