lol ok. I see random digits on some websites like index.php?u=e282h892r32t2t32t3 etc why do they do that ? And what is its purpose?

What about creating random numbers for no major reason, but to confuse potential hackers?

Hi Guys, Is it better to have url endings (page.php?u=1) etc or to leave the site without any endings?

Also, could you give me a sample of data I could use in the fields (just to be sure).

Well what happens is once someone submits a form they get directed to that page where they confirm their details. The point of the $refer statement is if the user re-submits a form, his new data will over right the old data. EDIT: mysite.co.uk is replaced with my website link. The false is checked by the IF statement which I started the thread with.

Thanks. <?php $refer=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; if($refer == ("http://www.mysite.co.uk/test/") || $refer == ("http://www.mysite.co.uk/test/index.htm") || $refer == ("http://www.mysite.co.uk/test/index.htm/")) { //echo "overwrite session"; $_SESSION['LOGGEDIN'] = FALSE; } else { //do nothing } ?> Can you see any problems with this ?

Your a life saver. I still quite new to php and tend to get confused. So in layman terms, would isset() mean whether any content in the $var exists ? !isset($var) // If there is nothing in var then .. isset(var) // if there is something in var do this .. correct ?

Well here is a piece of code which could be the cause of the problem. Please run through it and see if you can find any logical errors on the statements. <?php if (!isset($_SESSION['LOGGEDIN'])== FALSE) // If user is not logged in { //Add session //echo "session is not set! User is not logged in" . "<BR>"; $_SESSION['LOGGEDIN'] = TRUE; $_SESSION['NAME'] = $_POST['name']; $_SESSION['CONTACTNO'] = $_POST['contact']; $_SESSION['EMAILADD'] = $_POST['email']; $_SESSION['GENDER'] = $_POST['sex']; $_SESSION['TIME'] = date("D dS M,Y h:i a"); } else { echo "<BR>" . "session is set! User is logged in"; //grab data from cookies if needed } ?>

Thanks guys, I was working on some code and it was working fine and now randomly it doesnt want to work no more and Im having to go through all the code, argh!

Hey Guys, What does the following code mean ? (!isset($_SESSION['LOGGEDIN'])== FALSE) { }

Thanks. Well Im not too good with MYSQL so you'll have to excuse me if I ask some daft questions. The paid is only for a set of tickets, a simple paypal buynow type of button. So how exactly would I create the query, something like this: CREATE userinfo ( Name varchar(255), Gender ENUM, ContactNo varchar(255), EmailAdd varchar(255), TimeOfReg ( ??? ), IP UNSIGNED INT (not sure entirely), Paid ENUM ); What is the purpose of an index name ?

Hi Guys, I have the following script to remove sessions etc but its not redirecting at the end: <?php header("Expires: Thu, 17 May 2001 10:17:17 GMT"); // Date in the past header ("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT"); // always modified header ("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1 header ("Pragma: no-cache"); // HTTP/1.0 session_start(); // Unset session data session_unset(); // Destroy session data session_destroy(); // Now do a redirect header ("Location: http://www.uwisoc.com"); exit; ?>

Hey Guys, I want to create a table with the following columns. Can you please give me your recommendations: ID (Must be unique, starting with 00001, id should increment by 1) Name Gender (Male or female) Contact Number Email Address Time Of Registration IP Paid (Yes/No)

Thanks

What if Im using an IF statement ? [code=php:0]<?php if (mail($to, $subject, $mail, "From: ".$email_addr."\r\n")) { echo " Complete"; //Post form, button. } else { echo "Failed"; //refresh page, or contact administrator } $mail = str_replace("\n", "<br>", $mail); ?> [/code]

Hey Guys, How would I implement the code below into php ? <div id="continue"> <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" /><input type="submit" value="Click to Continue >>" /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1" /><input type="hidden" name="encrypted" value="-----BEGIN PKCS7-----MIIIcQYJKoZIhvcNAQcEoIIIYjCCCF4CAQExggEwMIIBLAIBADCB=-----END PKCS7----- " /></form> </div>

Ok, thanks. I will start the mysql implementation hopefully.

But wouldnt I use MYSQL if I wanted to later view the information on the website or something ?

Well I'm not using mysql as of yet. It's simply a small reg/paypal fee and the information gets emailed to me and the client gets a confirmation and a unique ID.

That'll do too I guess. So how would I do it ? I'd like it in the 6 digit sphere.

Hi Guys, Does anyone know of any good ways of producing ramdon digits (4-8digit) for invoices ?

??? You lost me - All I want to do is use SMTP. What will I need to do to the code above inorder to achieve this ?

Hi Guys, I want to use SMTP with the following email script: <?php ob_start(); session_start(); //process the post variables... $to = "email@gmail.com"; $name = $_SESSION['NAME']; $email_addr = $_SESSION['EMAILADD']; $gender = $_SESSION['GENDER']; $subject = "Event Tickets"; $phone = $_SESSION['CONTACTNO']; //$msg = $_POST["msg"]; // Construct the message.... $mail = "Hello $name,\n\nThank your for your ticket(s) purchase.\nWe look forward to see you.\n\n"; $mail .= "Here is the information you have given us:\n\n"; $mail .= "Name: ".$name."\n"; $mail .= "Gender: ".$gender."\n"; $mail .= "Email Address: ".$email_addr."\n"; $mail .= "Phone: ".$phone."\n\n"; $mail .= "Subject: ".$subject."\n"; //$mail .= "Your Message:\n".$msg."\n\n\n"; $mail .= "Best Regards,\nUW\n\n"; // If any lines are larger than 70 characters, we will use wordwrap() $message = wordwrap($message, 70); // Send the email... mail($email_addr, $subject, $mail, "From: admin@".$_SESSION['APP_SERVER']."\r\n"); mail ($to, $subject, $message, "From: ".$email_addr."\r\n") $mail = str_replace("\n", "<br>", $mail); ?> What adjustments do I need to make ?

Hi Guys, How can I check whether the script sent the email ?

Hi Guys, I was on my site when I decided to add a forward slash at the end of my index page and all the css dissapeared. Does anyone know why this happens and how one can resolve it ?
