try <?php $length = 8; echo substr(md5(mt_rand( 0,65536)),0,$length); ?> its kinda simple but random!

<?php $data = curl_exec ($ch); if (preg_match('%<Font\sclass=price>([0-9\.]+\s+\w+)\<\/Font>%i', $data, $regs)) { $price = $regs[0]; } else { $price = ""; } echo $price; ?>

change if (preg_match('%<Font\\sclass=price>([0-9\\.]+\\s+\\w+)\\<\\/Font>%i', $output, $regs)) { to if (preg_match('%<Font\sclass=price>([0-9\.]+\s+\w+)\<\/Font>%i', $output, $regs)) {

OH if you post a lot please use code tags

"UPDATE users SET status = '1' WHERE userid= '".md5($_GET['hash'])."' AND key = '".$_GET['key']."'";

It should find the price in a the html if its a whole page or just a shortline can you post a failed input please

try <?php $data = "<FONT class=price>239.00 GBP</FONT>"; if (preg_match('%<Font\sclass=price>([0-9\.]+\s+\w+)\<\/Font>%i', $data, $regs)) { $price = $regs[0]; } else { $price = ""; } echo $price; ?>

ADD THE ; at the end Theirs a Ton of holes in the code you have posted.. even the short code above has a secuity hole Oh i give!

yep implode <?php $theArray = array("hello","to","the","world"); $theString = implode(",", $theArray ); echo $theString; ?>

missed the last " <? UPDATE users SET status = '1' WHERE userid= '".md5($_GET['hash']."' AND key = '".$_GET['key']."'" ?>

Click solved (bottom left)

."$url = 'http://www.runnerselite.com/website/activate.php?hash=".md5($userid)."&key=($key)";

i posted before your edit my "better one" refers to PC Nerds

this works better <?php $string = "Blar"; $pattern[0] = '/badword1/'; $pattern[1] = '/badword2/'; $replacement[0] = '@@@@@'; $replacement[1] = '@@@@@'; $string = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string); ?>

use Captcha image verification as for bad words use str_replace

try "UPDATE users SET status = '1' WHERE userid= '".md5($_GET['hash']."' AND key = '".$_GET['key']."'"

to send a post your need to understand sockets

use $q = "SELECT password FROM ".TBL_USERS." WHERE username = '$username' AND status = '1'"; then.. if that failed then no idea.. i'm not very good at spaghetti code.

Not a php question, so wrong section

just update the failed login attempt, it would be easier

please use code tags but $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `forum_topics` LIMIT $from, $max_results"); isn't being used so surely you should do this ## Pagination start ############################################################# $query2 = "SELECT * FROM `forum_topics` WHERE `topic_id`='$id' ORDER BY `topic_name` DESC LIMIT $from, $max_results"; $result2 = mysql_query($query2) or die (mysql_error());

Good advice from chigley echo chigley

$desc2 = stripslashes(nl2br($row2['ptxt_body'])); $desc3 = htmlentities($desc2); <textarea name="description" cols="40" rows="7" wrap="PHYSICAL" id="description">'.strip_tags($desc3, '<b><br /><i>').'</textarea> OK the htmlentities will convert > to > etc so it will always fail.. also the stripslashes will remove the / so <br /> will fail Ahhh Andys on the scene.. no posts are safe

please post code in code tags

$q = "SELECT password FROM ".TBL_USERS." WHERE username = '$username' AND status = 1";
