You'll need to use regular expressions.. Sounds like it'd be tricky to do though.. Adam

It perfectly possible, but you'd need some kind of delimiter to determine when one section starts and another begins. Can be anything really.. blah blah this is section 1 // NEW_SECTION blah blah this is section 2 Then you can use explode() to explode the contents by "// NEW_SECTION" and echo out the right section. A quick example: <?php $text = file_get_contents("dataholder.txt"); $sections = explode("// NEW_SECTION", $text); echo $sections[0]; // section 1 echo $sections[1]; // section 2 ?> Adam

Why would you have to load times into an array? Adam

I believe on some websites they use a special tag like: === BREAK === or something .. in which case you could explode the text by "=== BREAK ===" then have say "?page=2" in the URL and return the text at that index of the array. So something like: // assuming $article contains the text $page = (!$_GET['page']) 0 : (int) $_GET['page'] - 1; $article_pages = explode("=== BREAK ===", $article); echo $article_pages[$page]; .. not tested but it's just a quick idea. Adam

$query = mysql_query("DELETE FROM yourTable WHERE dateField = '" .date("dmy"). "'"); Look into PHP's date() function so you can format the date to how you have it in your database.. Adam

The second way will work, but it's good coding practise to do it the first way, or to put curly brackets around the variable: echo 'hello my name is {$name}'; Adam

great stuff. I wasn't 100% sure about the syntax with the short-hand if .. Adam

print ' /><input name="sprice[' .$key. ']" type="text" class="dropdown" /><br/>'; error was: class='dropdown' ..

$labels = array( 0 => '200mm x 200mm', 1 => '200mm x 300mm', 2 => '200mm x 400mm', 3 => '200mm x 500mm', 4 => '200mm x 600mm', ); foreach ($labels as $key => $label) { print '<label>' .$label. '</label><input name="sizes[' .$key. ']" type="checkbox" value="' . $label. '"'; $key == 0 ? print ' checked'; print ' /><input name="sprice[' .$key. ']" type="text" class='dropdown' /><br/>'; } Might need a few adjustments..

then to get $sprice: $sprice = $_POST['sprice'][$key]; Not tested but should work - assuming you're using the POST method..

foreach ($POST['sizes'] as $key => $size) { // .. } ..I think would work.

Basically he's saying when a checkbox isn't checked, it doesn't return a value. So if you were to do that you may end up with two arrays like: true | some text value true | some other text value true | another text value | yet another text value | maybe another text value Where say the first, third and fifth checkboxes were checked, if you follow? He's saying if you loop through the checkboxes and have a counter increment on every loop, you can then set the index for both arrays, for each input. You could do it manually if it weren't so easy to loop through the inputs. but it would mean you'd end up with an array like: (0) true | (0) some text value (1) | (1) some other text value (2) true | (2) another text value (3) | (3) yet another text value (4) true | (4) maybe another text value If that makes more sense? Had to do it with brackets btw cause it went funny with [] .. Adam

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { if ($modules[][mid] == $row['mid']) { $module = array ( 'col' => $row['col'], 'title_en' => $row['top'], ); $modules[] = $module; } } $modules[][mid] isn't right .. you're not specifying an index for the array. Plus you need quotes for "mid".. $modules[0]['mid'] That would be valid, but I can't guess as to what you're trying to do? Are you trying to find a match in the $modules array and then add to that particular index? All I can think you're trying to do is something like: while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { foreach ($modules as $key => $mod) { if ($mod['mid'] == $row['mid']) { $modules[$key]['col'] = $row['col']; $modules[$key]['title_en'] = $row['top']; } } } Not checked.. Adam

I'm not sure about this, but can you not use: <label>200mm x 200mm</label><input name="sizes['size']" type="checkbox" value="200 x 200" checked="true"><input name="sizes['sprice']" type="text" class='dropdown'><br/> Never tried so.. Adam

$limit = 'LIMIT 0, 20'; mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ... {$limit}"); // blah blah // do some stuff! mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as Num FROM ... {$limit}"); If you were wanting to pass the start value in the URL like say: "?start=20" you could use: $start = (!$_GET['start']) ? 0 : (int) $_GET['start']; $limit = 'LIMIT {$start}, {$start+20}'; (no code tested) Adam

I imagine you're to use a MySQL database? http://www.tizag.com/mysqlTutorial/ That will introduce you to MySQL and creating DB applications with PHP. Adam

Yeah I was going to say, proper CVS files should have quotes around fields that contain commas (aparently).. I weren't aware of MySQL statements for loading CSV though, I imagine they'd be a lot easier! Adam

Yeah.. It's just designed to make more sense when you read it back.. I believe..

Just use PHP to work with the data. I don't know CSV backwards at all and I've never tried this before but just try something like: $rows = explode("\n", $csv_src); foreach ($rows as $row) { $cols = explode(",", $row); $insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO ... (field1, field2, field3) VALUES ('{$cols[0]}','{$cols[1]}','{$cols[2]}')"); } Obviouslly you'll need to play around with it.. might need to use a second foreach loop to build the query string or something but good start! Adam

Hah some clever clog will figure it out if they really wanted.. i imagine? Have you tried going to captcha.php in your browser and seeing if you get an error? Adam

Well you need to store the captcha code in a seperate PHP file, perhaps named "captcha.php"? then display it as normal image: <img src="captcha.php" alt="Enter what you see!" /> Not true. Some talented people out there can create font recognition scripts to read the text - which is why they're always adding squiggly lines and very hard to read fonts. Didn't google mail's captcha image get broken a little while ago?

You could use regular expressions to extract everything between PHP tags and then eval the code..? But I'd stored the files in an unaccessible location just for a lil' security - ie. not in 'htdocs' .. Adam

He's talking about the search engine included with SMF .. the one in the top right of this page.

Well can't really say, would need to see some code pal!

Be best to have them set their language at the start and store it in a cookie, that way you can just check the cookie... Adam
