Is there anyway to trim white space from a string but at the same time replace that white space with something?

alright, I will have to try that. Is there a way to look for entities within the HTML tag (EX: <p class="header">) like i would want to take out the class="header"

I have a backend that you can create posts with, well it will write html for you in the text editor and when the information is dumped into the DB it keeps the html content. So there are <h4>, <p>, <span>, <br />, and many other tags that are inserted. Well I developed a tool with this backend that will allow for a person to select a post (that is approved and previously written) and will allow for a person to email the post to someone. I am looking to have PHP take the post out of the DB and strip out the class = "someclass" and style = " "

Ok... how would i skim through a mysql post searching for a particular word or words? I am having a brain fart lol. Like I have a sql field that would contain HTML and I need for my php script to skim through the field and search for the word style or class and take out the word along with anything in quotes.

I have done some minor javascript but nothing really major. I have used jQuery for a lot of stuff I have done (I know, I know its cheating, please don't hate me for it), but I need help with writing a function that will display a group of images at random with text that corresponds to the image and the images cannot repeat. LOL any help at all is grealy appreciated! Thanks!

ah gotcha... thanks for the help. Topic Solved!

ok so here is all of the code I am using $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM devotionals WHERE writer = 'dennis'"); while($results = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $devotional_query = '<li><a href="#">' . $results['devotional_title'] . '</a></li>'; } $login = '<a class="title">Login</a> <div> <form action="index.php?action=login" method="post"> <label>Username:</label> <input type="text" name="username" id="username" /> <label>Password: </label> <input type="password" name="password" id="password" /> <input type="image" src="images/login.jpg" id="submit" /> </form> </div>'; $logout = '<a class="title">My Profile</a> <div> <ul> <li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li> <li><a href="profile.php?tool=changepw">Change Password</a></li> <li><a href="profile.php?tool=addfriend">Signup A Friend</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?action=logout">Logout</a></li> </ul> </div> <a class="title">Devotionals</a> <div> <ul> ' . $devotional_query . ' </ul> </div> <a class="title">Topics</a> <div> <ul> <li><a href="#">Testing</a></li> </ul> </div>'; I thought I could just call the variable $devotional_query?

hmmm, how do you suggest going about fixing this?

I have a while loop that is only grabbing one entry out of the database when there are multiple that it should be grabbing... $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM devotionals WHERE writer = 'dennis'"); while($results = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $devotional_query = '<li><a href="#">' . $results['devotional_title'] . '</a></li>'; } there are at least two from the writer dennis. and it is only displaying one

problem solved I added this little bit of code: popUpWindow('../email/emailafriend.php?url=<?php echo "http://" . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?> And then i passed the variable to my emailafriend page and it all works

I have developed an email script that grabs the previous url and drops it into the php email. The problem is, is that the company that has implemented my code is using javascript to open up a new window to fill out the form i created. When doing this the HTTP_REFERRER $_SERVER variable is lost. Anyway of still requesting the referred url?

ok problem solved! LOL! I changed my PHP Version to 5.2.X on my hosting services and I placed the ob_ information in the respective places. Thanks for the help!

Here is my code: <?php require "includes/sql.php"; $action = $_GET['action']; if($_POST) { if($_POST['username'] || $_POST['password']) { $_SESSION['username'] = stripslashes($_POST['username']); $_SESSION['password'] = stripslashes($_POST['password']); } } switch($action) { case "login": $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users where username = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['username'])."' AND password = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['password'])."'") or die(mysql_error()); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); header("location:index.php"); exit; break; case "logout": session_destroy(); header("location:index.php"); exit; break; } $login = '<a class="title">Login</a> <div> <form action="index.php?action=login" method="post"> <label>Username:</label> <input type="text" name="username" id="username" /> <label>Password: </label> <input type="password" name="password" id="password" /> <input type="image" src="images/login.jpg" id="submit" /> </form> </div>'; $logout = '<a class="title">My Profile</a> <div> <ul> <li><a href="changepw.php">Change Password</a></li> <li><a href="change-email.php">Change Email Address</a></li> <li><a href="devotionals.php">Devotionals I wrote</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?action=logout">Logout</a></li> </ul> </div> <a class="title">Tools</a> <div> <ul> <li><a href="#">Testing</a></li> </ul> </div> <a class="title">Devotionals</a> <div> <ul> <li><a href="#">Testing</a></li> </ul> </div> <a class="title">Topics</a> <div> <ul> <li><a href="#">Testing</a></li> </ul> </div>'; ?> <div class="accordion"> <?php if(!$_SESSION) { echo $login; } else { echo $logout; } ?> </div> <!-- CLOSES ACCORDION DIV --> Anyone got any ideas? This file is included in the header.php file, in which the header.php is included in the index.php file.

LOL yeah tell me about it, or i could host it myself!

hmmm, i reckon i will contact my hosting company. I tried it and it still didn't work

and when you try to click on the logout button nothing happens

nope didn't work! And when i login the Else statement is displayed but the username does not pass through for some reason

ok sorry about not getting back with yall until now, Here is my updated code: <?php require "includes/sql.php"; $action = $_GET['action']; session_start(); ob_start(); $_SESSION['username'] = stripslashes($_POST['username']); $_SESSION['password'] = stripslashes($_POST['password']); $username = $_SESSION['username']; $password = $_SESSION['password']; switch($action) { case "login": $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users where username = '$username' AND password = '$password'") or die("ERROR: " . mysql_error()); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); if($num_rows > 0) { header("location: index.php?username=" . $username . ""); } else { header("location: index.php"); } break; case "logout": session_start(); session_destroy(); ob_end_flush(); header("location: index.php"); exit; break; } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Admin Section</title> <link href="adminstyles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div class="header"> <?php if($_SESSION['username'] == "") { ?> <div class="headertext">Admin Section!

Welcome <?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?> <a href="index.php?action=logout">Logout?</a></div> </div> <?php } ?> </body> </html>

thats odd cause it is passing the username to the url but will not print it out

ok so the login problem is solved, but the username is not echoing out in the else statement

I am not sure why my script is acting weird. It passes the username to the URL but the else statement does not act right. I gotta start going to bed earlier lol. <?php require "includes/sql.php"; $action = $_GET['action']; session_start(); ob_start(); $_SESSION['username'] = stripslashes($_POST['username']); $_SESSION['password'] = stripslashes($_POST['password']); $username = $_SESSION['username']; $password = $_SESSION['password']; switch($action) { case "login": $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users where username = '$username' AND password = '$password'"); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); if($num_rows > 0) { header("location: index.php?username=" . $username . ""); } else { header("location: index.php"); } break; case "logout": session_destroy(); header("location: index.php"); exit; break; } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Admin Section</title> <link href="adminstyles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div class="header"> <?php if(!$username) { ?> <div class="headertext">Admin Section!

Welcome <?php $username; ?></div> </div> <?php } ?> </body> </html>

well the reason i was wondering if this could be done is because there are a lot of times that our server doesn't always load the latest and greatest updated code. So if you are coding and uploading a lot and not paying attention you forget to do a hard refresh at times. Just wondering

Is there a way in PHP to tell a particular page (or whole website) to not cache in a users cookies?
