sorry m8, its fine, my fault

thankyou for your time realjumper and farris.

My 'sports' page has three pictures(not loaded from a database but just created myself). U click on these links and it shows you(on a seperate page and displayed in a table) the records from a specific table from the database. Lets just say to display fields 'league', 'country'. I know ill have to start the php script with connecting to a database and a specific table, but how do i go about displaying the records from table. Also, the records must be stored in table. Please help a beginner  8)  ;D

<?php echo date("d-m-y H:i:s", time()); $hours = date("G"); //24 hour time without leading zeros. eg. 0 or 23 if($hours >= 22 && $hours <= 3){ echo "My your up late arn't you!"; }elseif($hours >= 4 && $hours <= 7){ echo "My your up rather early!"; }elseif($hours >= 8 && $hours <= 12){ echo "Good morning, and how are we today?"; }elseif($hours >= 13 && $hours <= 17){ echo "<table align = center>"Good afternoon, are we having a nice day?"; }elseif($hours >= 18 && $hours <= 21){ echo "Good evening, hope you had a nice day."; } ?> Hi, i would like to know how id format the date to be displayed in the middle of page and how would i go about putting tags around say, 'echo "Good evening, hope you had a nice day.";' to edit it. Basically, i just need to know the correct use of tags in formattiing eg bold text, centered etc thanks

Call me stupid but what does the following mean: 1-    ($_SESSION['logged_in']!=1) (on my login, it means user isnt logged in) 2-    ($_SESSION['logged_in']==1) (on my login, it means i am logged in) Can u describe the above code in simple terms please?

ok thanks ken - would i have to change the code alot to make it work with phpmailer

Basically user enters in details through a form. Afterwards, emails are sent. The php code is below. Im using my isp for that smtp stuff which requires a pass. Anyway, once i subit the form, i get a'530 authentication required - Your email could not be sent. To fix this you must make a simple change to your email (known as SMTP authentication).' Is there a way to overcome this? <?php $to = 'wesley_pipes_@hotmail.com' ; $from = $_REQUEST['email'] ; $name = $_REQUEST['name'] ; $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ; $headers = "From: $from"; $subject = "Web Contact Data"; $fields = array(); $fields{"name"} = "Name"; $fields{"message"} = "Comments"; $fields{"email"} = "Email"; $body = "We have received the following information:\n\n"; foreach($fields as $a => $b) { $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]); } $headers2 = "From: noreply@YourCompany.com"; $subject2 = "Thank you for contacting us"; $autoreply = "Thank you for contacting us.Somebody will get back to you as soon as possible, usualy within 48 hours. If you have any more questions, please consult our website at www.oursite.com"; if($from == '') {print "You have not entered an email, please go back and try again";} else { if($name == '') {print "You have not entered a name, please go back and try again";} else { $send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); $send2 = mail($from, $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2); if($send) {header( "Location: http://www.YourDomain.com/thankyou.html" );} else {print "We encountered an error sending your mail, please notify webmaster@YourCompany.com"; } } } ?>

Hi when trying to send mail via html forms on my localhost im getting this error: Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\contact.php on line 30 I hear this is quite a common problem. I have looked into this, but cant seem to solve thhis problem. Can someone more experienced instruct me how to overcome this error Thankyou

Basically, I log in through a form, below is the code that proceeds <?php mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("memberdir") or die(mysql_error()); $appusername = $_POST['login_name']; $apppassword = $_POST['password']; $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `user` WHERE username = '$appusername' AND password = '$apppassword'"); if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {   $_SESSION['authenticatedUser'] = $appusername;   header("Location: loggedon.php"); } else {   $_SESSION['message'] = "Could not connect as $appusername";   header("Location: login.php"); } ?> ok now if i log in with a valid user, i should get notifed and the first bit of code i post should do this if you get what i mean

[code] <?php session_start(); if (!isset($_SESSION["authenticatedUser"])) {   $_SESSION["message"] = "Please Login";     header("Location: login.php"); } else { ?> <body> <h2>Youre ok you are authenticated as <?php echo $_SESSION["authenticatedUser"] ?> </h2> <a href = "logout.php">logout</a> </body> </html> <?php } ?> [/code]

Thankyou very much huggiebear. This has solved the my problem. Was it my php opening tags that confused the program. CHEERS. Ive only been doing this for 2 weeks and im not that good at it, but as i said THANKYOU VERY MUCH !

Basically this is what i would like to do i will also post the code ive made. With a php program i would like to connect to my database, collect data from a form and save it into variables and create a query to search the user table to see if the user can basically login or not.  I have create my Form, php program and database. Below is the copy of my php code: <? mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("memberdir") or die(mysql_error()); ?> <? $appusername=$_POST['login_name']; $apppassword=$_POST['password']; $result = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM 'user' WHERE username = $appusername AND password = $apppassword ") if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) { $_SESSION["authenticatedUser"] = $appusername; header("Location: loggedon.php"); } else { $_SESSION["message"] = "Could not connect as  $appusername "; header("Location: login.php"); } ?> i really wish you can help.
