[Need help checking my php coding]

I'm sure you must have an ID field preceding the 'username' field, but to be sure, could you edit this line:

mysql_query($q);

 

to mysql_query($q) or die(mysql_error());

 

and see what crops up

Create a cron!! LOL

[Validating/signing in with password singed up with after sha1 hash/salt]

Sorry if I sound stupid, but due to the random nature of the hashing process, won't your $salt change each time it is called.

 

$alpha = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcedfghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890";		
$rand = str_shuffle($alpha);		
$salt = substr($rand,0,40);		
$hashed_password = sha1($salt . $_POST['password']);

[connect error]

if(!mysql_select_db($database)

You are missing a bracket on line 12. It should be:

if(!mysql_select_db($database))

 

[Need php help for facebook application coding.]

Read the facebook documentation associated with it's application API. I have never used this API, therefore cannot help you in that respect, though I do hope you the best in working that one out

Start there, you need to lay the foundations of your knowledge before you can build on them.

[Please..help me with my simple code ?]

LaughOutLoud!!

[problem with register form]

$add_sql = "INSERT INTO tbl_customer (od_payment_postal_code) VALUES('".$_POST["txtPaymentPostalCode"]."')";

 

is the only ever value that will be inputted into your database. $add_sql is repeatedly overwritten until it is finally executed.

[Dynamic variable array ?!]

To create a dynamic variable you need to wrap the second dollar with {} curly braces:

 

<?php
$variableName = "a1";
${$variableName} = 100;
?>

 

which would create a an $a1 variable with the value of 100 ($a1 = 100).

[How to a check if a folder exists, and if not make it?]

Files and directories are different.

[Classes help]

thanks. =)

[Cannot include parent folder's php file]

And you're sure it exists there?

[Classes help]

 

<?php
class a {
var $things;
public function __construct($stuff) {
	$this->things = new b;
}	
}
class b {
var $morethings;
$this->morethings = "something";
}

$c = new a();

echo $c->things->__PARENT__;
?>

 

Are a and b related now?

[Classes help]

Take the following example:

 

<?php
class a {
var $things;
public function __construct($stuff) {
	$this->things = $stuff;
}	
}
class b {
var $morethings;
$this->morethings = "something";
}

$c = new a(new b);

echo $c->things->__PARENT__;
?>

 

The line "echo $c->things->__PARENT__;" (as you can probably imagine) does not work. How would I output what the 'b' object is stored in ('a')?

[How does this not work?]

$qInsert = "INSERT INTO `photos` 
(`photo_name`)
	VALUES                    
	('".$photo."')";

 

$qInsert = "INSERT INTO photos (photo_name) VALUES ('$photo')";

 

That probably won't fix it, but the way you wrote it annoyed me lol

Why is your indentation so mismatched?

next time use

[Having trouble with a % calculation]

$mem_tot_gold = 449005;
$tot_gold = 157657698;
$stake=number_format(($mem_tot_gold/$tot_gold)*100,2);
echo $stake;

 

Copy and paste this, there is no reason that it shouldn't work tbh.

[problems with extract($HTTP_GET_VARS) and extract($HTTP_POST_VARS) and arrays]

@parino_ : you actualy read all that?  I strated to loose focus when the variables were being assigned 

 

...if only there was something in the forum post BBCode that would make it clearer and easier to read.....

 

TOTALY agree though - there is no way on this plannet (or any other one that I have visited recently) that you (zanycyborg) could write that code and have never learned how to assign an array, or at the very least be in a possition get what you needed from the php manual.

 

No lol.

[Multidimensional Array question?]

The code I posted just replaces these functions

 

function set_mob_name($mob_name) { 
$this->mob_name = $mob_name;  
}
function get_mob_name() {
return $this->mob_name;
}
function set_attack($attack) {
$this->attack = $attack;
}
function get_attack() {
return $this->attack;
}
function set_mob_hp($mob_hp) {
$this->mob_hp = $mob_hp;
}
function get_mob_hp() {
return $this->mob_hp;
}
function set_mob_level($mob_level) {
$this->mob_level = $mob_level;
}
function get_mob_level() {
return $this->mob_level;
}

 

So, to echo the mob_level you would call:

 

echo $this->get_stat("mob_level");

[problems with extract($HTTP_GET_VARS) and extract($HTTP_POST_VARS) and arrays]

You clearly have no idea what that code does, expect someone to just read through it and tell you what to do without trying anything yourself. Read a simple php tutorial online and who knows; you may learn something
