    does my server support pspell?

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    I'm looking for a spell-checker mod for smf forum everywhere but all I can find are articles telling me I either have it or do not by default depending on my host.

     

    • How do I check if I have it in the first place without having to contact my host? I'm using mySQL, myPHPAdmin and cPANEL.
    • If I do have it what do I need to do?
    • If I don't have it what do I need to do?

     

    Any help would be greatly apreciated!

    [SOLVED] Can't pick up PHP variables from Client Side drop down menu (?)

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Hi All,

     

    I'm calling on two dropdowns and writing their values back to a database:

    <?php
//DROP DOWNS
$callresult1 = $_POST['optone'];
$callresult2 = $_POST['opttwo'];
?>

     

    For some reason the variables come back as blank. I'm using the following client side script:

     

    HEAD:

    <script type="text/javascript">

function setOptions(chosen) {
var selbox = document.myform.opttwo;

selbox.options.length = 0;
if (chosen == " ") {
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('Secondary Result',' '); 
}

if (chosen == "1") {
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('No Answer','oneone');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('Engaged Tone','onetwo');
}

if (chosen == "2") {
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('No Decision Maker Available','twoone');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('Follow Up: Sending Email','twotwo');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('Follow Up: Decision Later','twothree');
}

  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('Obsolete Number','threeone');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('Not Correct Contact','threetwo');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('Outdated Prefix','threethree');
}


if (chosen == "4") {
  PRIVATE
}

if (chosen == "5") {
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('Overheads Too Expensive','fiveone');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('Already Taken Course','fivetwo');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('Not Applicable to Vocation','fivethree');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('Weak Belief in Market Viability','fivefour');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('Not Computer Literate','fivefive');
selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('Out of Business','fivesix');
}

if (chosen == "6") {
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('Reviewing Record','sixone');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new
Option('Editing Record','sixtwo');
}

}

    HTML_ENTITIES versus STRIPSLASHES?

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Hi All,

     

    I want to output from a database (that I've inputted to) without backslashes appearing. I was told in a recent thread to change the encoding of the page or to use html_entities. Outputting using stripslashes does the exact same thing.

     

    Lets say I'm outputting to a series of texboxes that I'm also using to re-input (insert) the data should the end-user need to make ammendments:

     

    <input type="text" name="landline" id="landline" value="<?php echo $landline; ?>"/>

     

    If I apply striplashes to the above value for outputting and then pick the variable back up with mysql_real_escape_string for inputting will I experience any sort of conflicts in terms of the special characters?

    [SOLVED] How to select COUNT() in PHP loop?

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Hi All,

     

    I need to pull one variable and it's count into a php page from its database. I can't get the count to work:

     

    <?php
//CONNECT TO ADD TO EXPORT THE CATEGORY FIELD
include("dbinfo.php");
mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");

//BUILD QUERY
$query="SELECT DISTINCT category, count( category ) FROM `masterdata` GROUP BY category";

$result=mysql_query($query);
$num=mysql_numrows($result);
mysql_close();

//DISPLAY THE CATEGORY FIELD
$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {
$category=mysql_result($result,$i,"category");
$categorycount=mysql_result($result,$i,"count(category)");

echo "<a href='recordlist.php?category=$category'>$category</a></br>";
echo "<a href='recordlist.php?category=$categorycount'>$categorycount</a></br>";

$i++;
}
?>

     

    Can anyone spot where I've gone wrong?

    [SOLVED] Are log in sessions what i'm looking for?

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    So you're saying the below code (its functional) would not time out until the browser is closed?

     

    <?php
session_start();
    $valid_username = "user";
    $valid_password = "pass";

    $username = isset($_POST['username'])?$_POST['username']:"";
    $password = isset($_POST['password'])?$_POST['password']:"";

    if ($username == $valid_username && $password == $valid_password) {
          $_SESSION['logged'] = true;   
         header("Location: admin.php");
    }else {
             $_SESSION['logged'] = false;
             header("Location: loginfl.php");
    }?>

    [SOLVED] Are log in sessions what i'm looking for?

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Hi All,

     

    I'm building a basic CRM for work where I want users to:

     

    • be directed to a specific page based on their log in details.
    • remain logged in (no timing out of session).
       

     

    Should I be using sessions for this or do I use something simpler such as the username and password in a php page?

     

    Any reccomended tutorials would be apreciated too (yes, I do know how to google, just wondering if there is any specific tutorial some of you would reccomend  :P).

    [SOLVED] unexpected T_SL Error?

    Hi All,

     

    I'm using a basic script for a few RSS feeds but I keep on getting the following error:

     

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in ...

     

    The code is below. Can someone please help? This is really bugging me.

    [SOLVED] Image as Submit Button won't work...

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    I really don't know what you mean by

     

    expect the x,y coordinates

     

    or

     

    use a hidden field with a specific name/value that your code will use to detect that the form has been submitted.

     

    The theory makes sense but I don't know where to start in terms of implementation. Am I editing the name of the image or how I call it in the isset condition?

    [SOLVED] Image as Submit Button won't work...

    Righto. So far I've found out its an IE 6+ issue.

     

    Apparently server side gets the following info from input type="image':

     

    control_name => value

    control_name_x => x co-ord

    control_name_y => y co-ord

     

    i've been told to test for existence of x or y by doing the following:

     

    <?php
if (isset($_POST["control_name_x"]))
{
// form submitted 
}
?>

     

    i'm not very certain of what it is I'm supposed to be doing here.

    Hi All,

     

    I'm using an image as submit that has a mouseover effect but it doesn't trigger my php code when clicked;

     

    <input name="submit" id="submit" type="image" alt="Send Message" 
src="images/general_sendmessage1.jpg" 
srcover="images/general_sendmessage2.jpg" 
srcdown="images/general_sendmessage1.jpg" 
border="0">

     

    It works fine when I use this:

     

    <input name="submit" id="submit" type="submit"/>

     

    Any ideas why its not working? i'm more interested in understanding whats going wrong rather than its fix.
