[finding out what z-index are used]

thanks

 

i am looking to list the z-indexes used though,

the extensions just show the indexes near every element

not the best way, but still good.

 

thanks

[finding out what z-index are used]

not sure where to post this

but is there any way that i can see what z-indexes are being used up in a html page, with either php or javascript, or anything else?

[reading material regading Request Method var order]

sorry.

im a dumb ass that lacks the concentration to keep order of includes.

 

lol

 

thanks for the info on 'possibly no order' policy on the $_SERVER var call order

[reading material regading Request Method var order]

yeah

cpd

two type mistakes in the post. sorry bout that.

 

i've made a simple example of what im trying to do, and it runs fine so there must be something i'm missing in my code thats producing the issue i am having.

back to the choping block.

 

regards

[reading material regading Request Method var order]

hi, yeah

i'm running an if statement to include a php script, depending on if $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] equals POST. this included php script needs the config variables i was talking about, include at the top of the page. and this if statement is called after these config vars are included.

 

the included php script which is included due to the server request method being post needs the config variables, yet it appears it doesn't find them, like they don't exist yet. also, if i run a print in this included php script, and another in the config vars php file included at the top of the page, the print that appears first is the included php script from the server method request if statement.

 

something like

include 'config.php'; // holds variables and the print statement // outputs 'config vars here'
if($SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD' == 'POST']) { include 'anotherPHPscript.php'; } // holds a print  that outputs 'server request method queried<br>'

my webpage has a form submit button that submits to the same webpage.

 

the output of the above, on submit is:

server request method queried
config vars here

 

so this should not be happening you say?

regards

[reading material regading Request Method var order]

interessting the fact that the POST var in REQUEST_METHOD is called before any other variable on a script, no matter where these are placed.

is this true? am i doing something wrong here?

 

im inluding a few config variables on the very top of my webpage and calling an if statement to check in a POST request has been made way after these config variable are set. yet, the REQUEST_METHOD POST if statement check (which needs some of these config variables to run successfully) fails.

 

could someone please point me to reading material on this 'read' order?

thanks

[charset problem needing out-of-the-box solution]

thanks

that might come in handy

[charset problem needing out-of-the-box solution]

hi

 

i am calling some text from a database with php and echoing it to flash. i have no idea the charset anything is in. all i can see is that calling the text from the database and placing into flash yields in some missing chars, but if echo the called text to the browser, copy it and echo that to flash, all characters appear. now, i kow this is not a flash forum, and im not going to ask for a flash solution because there's just too many different charsets and code i cannot control/ nor see so i was thinking of doing something along the line of having php creating a clone of the copied text that appears in the browser, and having it echo that text to flash. it there something php can do, similar to what i described?

[weird sh*t - working with integers and strings]

thanks so much dude

[weird sh*t - working with integers and strings]

in other words, when you assign a converted string to a number to a variable, the == operator breaks down, when testing against said variable?i don't get the relation between the assigned data (zero) to a random test string (empty). is there any?

[Only allow email addresses to be submitted]

like nodral pointed out google for email validating functions in php

htl5 has a reserved input which accepts valid email only, but i'm not sure if it works well, not to mention the user must use a html5 ready browser.

[weird sh*t - working with integers and strings]

i hit a wtf moments

print $_POST['idName']; // prints 0, correct, the value of the selected select element item is indeed 0
print '<br>';
$value = intval($_POST['idName']); // otherwise its a string
if($value == 'empty') { print '<br>wtf does this get printed?'; }

 

the $values value is the number zero, not the string 'empty', so why does it eval as one?

 

 

[php header vs html meta]

thanks xyph

[php header vs html meta]

hi guys

 

what is the difference between setting the php charset header, and setting the html meta charset?

[WHERE if]

yeah, i had to do something like that, because depending on the amount of where clauses i needed to set the same amount of variables for the fetched information to be stored in.

im using MySQLi. i don't remember how MySQL worked in order to fetch the data from the query into the variables, but..anyway,

unless there's some other way to get the data fetched into the variables (in MySQLi) using a dynamic WHERE if query then i guess manually is the way to go.

regards

[WHERE if]

i have a few html select elements. they all have items like cat, dog, bear (categorized by type: animals, car brands, etc) and one item 'all'. when the user selects a specific item from a select, like dog, i need to retrieve the dogs, but if the user selects the all item (to include dogs, cats, bears), i need to retrieve all animals.

[session variable not working and register_globals question]

i have both websites under the same domain, without division regarding sub-domain; they are just in different folders (in the future one of the websites will be mapped to a different domain name). i don't see the manual session page saying anything regarding the session being domain specific, so thanks for that.

 

thanks for the help y'all.

 

cheers

[session variable not working and register_globals question]

okay, i think i found the problem :/

i am working on a website on the same domain where i have another website. and that other website is using and setting variables to the session global variables. and also i am using the same 'user' session variable name in both websites. dang, i did not know about this.

 

regarding the error reporting, i have set both directives to display the errors. they have not yielded errors, and maybe they should'nt, but where would i see these errors being displayed? on the website or are they logged on the server somewhere?

 

and finally, in the end what are the global associative array members the manual talks about?

 

 

 

 

[session variable not working and register_globals question]

hi guys.

i am trying to set a variable to the session global variable. I've initialized the session with session_start();  at the very beginning of my website, and then i try finding if a session variable has been set like so

if(isset($_SESSION['user'])) { print 'user is logged in'; }

but this works in reverse.  i have not set any session variables, but asking if it is set, results in an affirmative answer.

 

so i am thinking this is because of register_globals. because i went to read about register_globals, and it says that if register_globals is turned off, i cannot use any other varibale except members of the session array. i dont know what that is yet, but a question before: in the php manual it says register_globals is deprecated, and it appears i need to enable it to set other variables as session variables besides it's associative array. if this is true, how to enable register_globals and allow other variables to be used as session variables?

[WHERE if]

hi all.

how can i do something like

SELECT * FROM table WHERE column_1 = if(the value to use is 'a', use 'a' as the search value, else if the value is 'z', then select all the rows; select rows that have a,b,c..z)?

(this is MySQLi)regards

[mysql query - help]

dang, worked like a charm FM. thanks again.

 

@lite thanks but FM has proven you remark with flying colors. lol

 

thanks y'all

 

[mysql query - help]

@litebearer

i designed the database using separate columns because i thought the data would be easier to fetch, in case i wanted to select these date columns'data. as to the invalid date columns, sometimes i insert a row with data regarding an event, and not always do i know when the event is going to exactly happen so i need to let the zeros be accepted.

 

im not sure how you are formatting your dates. in the USA you place the month in a different location than in other countries, so.

anyway, im not sure, but according to my current query, rows are being selected be year first, then month, then day.

 

@PFM

thanks, i will have to look into that and see if that works.thanks

[mysql query - help]

yes, i had that thought too but i was hoping not to have to go around the problem.

[mysql query - help]

what appears on my website is not the data i fetch from these three date database columns (the columns are on the database!).

what i am trying to do is to display (on my website) the data fetched from other columns, and ordered by these three date columns, by descent, with the extra quick where if any of the three date columns is zero, those rows will be fetched first.
