[Problem with text file in other language]

Well I guess you would have to encode it before writing, then write.

 

EDIT: Actually, don't quote me on this. I'm not sure, to be honest. Try writing without encoding, and see if things go according to plan.

[[SOLVED] how to sort multi-dimensional array by value]

array_multisort() should do the trick, but I see that you have that in there already. Can you post what the $list starts as, and what it ends as (after applying array_multisort())?

[Need help plz]

Its stupid to say tables are outdated, I personally prefer them than using just pure CSS. And yes you can DEFINATELY have PHP code in your div tags.

 

You're one of a kind then, because everyone I know who has taken the time to learn how to correctly and effectively use purely CSS when developing a web layout has fallen in love and would never go back to using tables!

[[SOLVED] How do I find out who refered a visitor to my site?]

Variables like a referrer are always stored in URI variables (information included in the URL that brings you to a specific site/page).

 

For example, you might see a link like... http://site.com/signup.php?referrer=ahvceo

 

You can access this referrer variable using the predefined $_GET array:

 

$referrer = $_GET['referrer']; //$referrer now stores your name!

 

Hope this helps!

[forms and dat file formatting]

     $vars = explode("|", $value);
     
     echo "<b>".$vars[0]."</b><br>";
     echo $vars[1]."<br>";

     echo $vars[4]." at ".$vars[4]."<br>";
}

[forms and dat file formatting]

I can read and right its the formatting of read data

parsing manually ???

 

Well, there's no one specific way to parse data. Just come up with a format that works for this situation. Create your own key characters for splitting individual pieces of data up, and use functions like explode() to parse to usable PHP information (arrays, variables, etc).

[ffmpeg help]

Turn error_reporting on, and post the errors printed:

 

error_reporting(E_ALL);

[forms and dat file formatting]

Look into file_put_contents() and file_get_contents(). You can use the first to write to a .dat file and the second to read from it (passing and getting strings, respectively).

 

You'll have to do the parsing manually.

back in the back people use to

that code above is very bad! security issues!

 

Care to elaborate?

 

okay... back in the day about 5-7 years ago, php nuke use to use that type of format for some of their file extentions, and I've had to clean up after their bad work because people would inject a file from their own server...

 

let me explain how it works...

hack code will be in file called hack.txt

your url will read...

http://www.site.com/page.php?template=index.php

all I would have to do is...

http://www.site.com/page.php?template=http://www.mysite.com/hack.txt&run=what ever code I want...

 

its simple security issue... if you include you are including a text file which has php in it, and it works just like a regular php file on your server, leaving exploits all over the place. access to password file anything you want.

apologize, I miss read your code, its some what security proof although not a way I would do it.

 

LOL!

 

Did you even read the code I posted? I didn't include whatever was filled in the appropriate $_GET variable, I used an if--else-if to check to see if whatever was filled in the appropriate $_GET variable matched one of a few various, specific cases.

 

Pay attention, and apply what you know to situations which you encounter in life. Don't just regurgitate what you know from what has happened in potentially similar cases. It's a very easy trap to fall into. And it makes you look quite stupid.

 

apologize, I miss read your code, its some what security proof although not a way I would do it.

 

I appreciate the apology. And, it's completely "security proof." Why wouldn't you do it? It's organized, simple, and effective.

Right.

<form action="./tester.php" method="GET">
<div align="center">

    <option value="TX"<?PHP echo ($_GET['state'] == "TX")?" selected=\"selected\"":NULL; ?>>TX</option>

On a side note, there's usually no such thing as an "align" property. Try...

 

<div style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">CONTENT</div>

[Ending a session and deleting cookies]

Because of how you're setting the cookies, it looks as if they'll never be set long enough to be deleted.

 

setcookie("HCC","1",0,  "/","www.123.com",0);

 

The third parameter here is the date of expiration as a UNIX timestamp. You have 0, so, if I'm not mistaken, the cookie is deleted as it's set.

 

Try this:

 

setcookie("HCC","1", time()+42000,  "/","www.123.com",0);
