[[SOLVED] Can i use PHP to write an actual XML file]

sure you can, take a look at this: http://fr.php.net/manual/en/class.domdocument.php

so useful

[Echo textfield?]

try this:

<img src='[iMAGE URL]' onclick="this.innerHTML='[<input [other attributes here]>]'" />

 

if it didn't work try wrapping it with a div and replace its content on the image's onclick

[need help in echoing data from database]

I suggest you echo $query and copy and paste it in phpMyAdmin to see what it does

[$_SESSION problem]

I agree with russel:

use fetch_assoc() and use WHERE clause because imagine this query on a million user....that would take alot of server overhead

 

I'd recommend that you use session_start() if you didn't already

 

also try to use any encryption function for passwords i.e. md5() or sha1()

 

Validate both inputs if its filled in or not using

e.g:

if (empty(trim($user)) || empty($pass)){

echo "please fill in your login and password";

}

 

I'd recommend also not to inform the user which of the fields is incorrect for security reasons. tell him invalid user/password

 

hope that helped

 

[[SOLVED] Unexpected character in input: '�' (ASCII=8) state=1]

figured out that the file was damaged

[writing to file problems]

first of all better you can use xml functions or simple xml

but you can also store the output of the foreach to a string and then write it to the file

[[SOLVED] Displaying Forum Posts]

well you need to use the LIMIT clause in the query

seach MySQL manual for the LIMIT clause

 

i've made a class already to paginate, if you'd like to have it message me.

 

and do some equation to calculate the LIMIT's offest and count from the page number

[Registration Form, DOB selection]

well first of all

this line $x needs to be concatenated :    echo ">$x</option>"; should be echo ">" . $x . "</option>";

 

 

if ($x == $yearOptions)  and other condition statements you are comparing an integer to an array which is always gonna give false

you should use the $yearOptions[key]

where key is the pointer key to ur array's current value

 

I'd also recommend using foreach to loop around the array

please tell me more about the error you receive

[[SOLVED] breadcrumb]

thank you sorry, it didn't cross into my mind

[Need help with includes]

I see nothing wrong with that,

your navigation.php file has to be in the same directory as the first php file

check your spelling and the location of the file

[[SOLVED] breadcrumb]

I've googled tutorials about how to make breadcrumb navigation

but only found ways to do this by breaking the files into directories to make a structure for the breadcrumb

but this doesn't suite me at all

 

here is the case:

I have category-> sub category -> product

which all dynamically loaded

 

how can I do that breadcrumb navigation without doing the directories thing ?

 

Thanks in advance

[Javascript in an PHP page]

maybe u should add this:

header("Content-length: {$file_size}");

[Pause PHP script, show progress, resume]

you can use the function sleep()

dig it in the manual

[My Login Script]

With the way you are validating the user, you are using server resources so much

 

anyways, what you should do:

validate once in the login page and set sessions vars instead of cookies

like this way

sessions_start();

$_SESSION['login']= $login;

$_SESSION['is_logged_in'] = true;

.....etc

 

with that session variable $_SESSION['is_logged_in'] you can validate if he is logged in or not and also display the box of his control panel by using an if statement...

 

 

I also recommend you to use md5() or sha1() functions to encrypt user password, search the manual for it.

 

hope my reply was useful

[Convert an existing column to md5]

brilliant! thanks for the info PFMaBiSmAd

[Remote File Handling !]

you can make the access to ur ip address only by modifying through the .htaccess I guess not sure of the directives themselves but google it

[Convert an existing column to md5]

I assume he has initial values that needed to be encrypted..

[Very basic question...]

I agree with graham you can put another GET variable

ex: show_all=1 or show=all

it depends if you got multiple views or only show all

 

[Convert an existing column to md5]

select go through the loop, md5 string u want inside the loop then update

[Mail Attatchments in a form (Error 500)]

[Check Date Between Two Dates]

This should do the trick.

 

<?php

function dateBetween( $checkDate )
{
$firstDate1 = strtotime( "15-Jan-2008" );
$firstDate2 = strtotime( "15-Mar-2008" );
$secondDate1 = strtotime( "16-Mar-2008" );
$secondDate2 = strtotime( "15-Jun-2008" );

$checkDate = strtotime( $checkDate );

if( $checkDate > $firstDate1 && $checkDate < $firstDate2 )
{
	return "2000";
}
elseif( $checkDate > $secondDate1 && $checkDate < $secondDate2 )
{
	return "4000";
}

return "0";
}

echo dateBetween( "25-Sep-2008" );

?>

 

 

I agree with you but you should put >= or <= operators

 

because this way the days itself wont return anything
