[OOP why does this not work?]

what version of php are you using when i run it on 5.3 it works but if i would have to guess i would say your on an older version of php because if you look here

 

http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php

 

it says that the first method of calling a static function was added in 5.3

[Checkbox upload to MYSQL database]

okay post the code and ill take a look

[Checkbox upload to MYSQL database]

no you should just create one column and store the $tag variable in it and then you'll have a list of tags that you can later search

[Checkbox upload to MYSQL database]

change the name of them to:

<input name="tag[]" type="checkbox" value="accident" />
<input name="tag[]" type="checkbox" value="airport"/>
<input name="tag[]" type="checkbox" value="airtoair"/>

then you can loop through it like so:

 

$tags = new Array();
foreach($_POST['tag'] as $tag){
   if($tag){
       tags[] = $tag;
   } 
}
$tag = implode(',',$tags);

 

then inset the $tag variable in your database as text

UPDATE users SET id=id-1 WHERE id>$post_id

 

Where $post_id = the id of the post deleted

[Generating statistics from array output]

your condition should look like this:

if ($random == 0)
{
    $a = 0;
    $a++;
} 

[Substr ?]

try:

<?php
$data = 'Pulp Fiction';
$out = substr($data, 0, 7);
if(strlen($data > 7){
$out .= '...';
}
echo $out;
?>

[Manipulating a String]

you could do something like this:

 

<?php
$string = "The quick brown fox jumps over the moon to discover that it really wasn't the moon at all but a big rock in the ground";
$delimiter = "discover";
$maxlenth = 15;
$new = substr($string,strpos($string,$delimiter)-$maxlenth,$maxlenth*2+strlen($delimiter));
?>

[Considering setting up a vps server]

okay thank you for you help

[Considering setting up a vps server]

okay thanks i am reading up on openVZ, it seems to be exactly what i was looking for.

 

the issue however comes once traffic starts to hit & without specs, we couldn't say.

 

What exactly do you mean by this? I am assuming you mean site traffic, which should be pretty low as i will only be running a portfolio and blog on it

[Problems calling a mysql query with php]

i dont get what your asking i guess because if the value != 0 that is what it is supposed to output

[Considering setting up a vps server]

I currently have a desktop that was great but after i got my laptop has gotten little use, so i am thinking about making it into a vps web server where i will provide the server and my friends will pay for the internet connection the specs are:

 

750gb hard drive (would like to partion it in to 3 separate vps')

8gb ram

2.2 amd quadcore

 

my questions are:

a)Are these specs good enough? (i would assume so but you never know)

b)what software would i need to do this?(i want to run a ubuntu server)

c)Any other advise?

[Problems calling a mysql query with php]

try:

$test = $database->query($status);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($test);
  if($row['status'] == '0'){

if that doesn't work what mysql class are you using?

[Problems calling a mysql query with php]

try adding:

$test = $database->query($status);
echo $database->error; //check if there is a mysql error
var_dump($test); //check if its returning an object

[Different hosting servers but same backend]

if i understand your question properly you can connect to the same mysql server from different site

[This Errors...]

you have a typo:

 

$q2 = mysql_query("INSRET INTO `players` (id, timestamp, gameid, players) VALUES ('NULL', 'NULL', '$gameid', '$players')") or die(mysql_error());

//should be
$q2 = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `players` (id, timestamp, gameid, players) VALUES ('NULL', 'NULL', '$gameid', '$players')") or die(mysql_error());

[Problems calling a mysql query with php]

your checking whether the object == 0 you need to add:

$test = $database->query($status);
$row = $test->fetch_object();
  if($row->status == '0'){

as stated above use simpleXML a quick example:

$images[] = $link->image;
}

[fairly basic php question, regarding a simple log-in system]

yeah sorry i missed that

[fairly basic php question, regarding a simple log-in system]

okay your setting it in the wrong place, what you need to do is replace:

 

session_register($myusername);
session_register($mypassword);
//with
$_SESSION['username'] = $myusername;
$_SESSION['password'] = $mypassword;

so your final script would look like:

 

<?php
ob_start();
$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username="xx"; // Mysql username
$password="xx"; // Mysql password
$db_name="xx"; // Database name
$tbl_name="members"; // Table name

// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

// Define $myusername and $mypassword

// To protect MySQL injection
$myusername = stripslashes($myusername);
$mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword);
$myusername = mysql_real_escape_string($myusername);
$mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword);

$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row


if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
$_SESSION['username'] = $myusername;
$_SESSION['password'] = $mypassword;
header("Location: /clients/".$myusername."/");
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password";

ob_end_flush();
?>

 

and your other script should look like:

 

session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['username']){
header("location:../../index.php");
}
