In the above guy's PHP I think that will print out the timestamp, in order to use it with the date function you could do this. $timestamp=strtotime("next Saturday"); date("jS F Y",$timestamp); hope it helps

Sounds good, I think the only way to guess someone's location in the world is through IP, as far as I understand certain places have certain IPs, all you should need is a database or code that knows which IP range is from where, but I'm not sure if IPs can go as specific as countries.

Phew, I should be safe then and the most they do I guess is remove a session which I don't care about at the moment, thanks for being simple hehe.

instead of using date("U") you can simply use time(); now, date has an optional second parameter, when you put in a timestamp it will use that instead of the current time, for example: $thetime=time(); $timelimit=$thetime-3600; $whatyouwant=date("h:i:s A",$timelimit); And that should tell you the time an hour ago hehe. see http://php.net/date for more info on the parameters and whatnot.

Mark it as solved I reckon.

Thanks but what I mean is, if i just say do this $_SESSION['allowedentry']="no"; would they be able to change that themselfs? I just need to know the simple question of that, cheers.

I'm pretty sure you can have the same keys but in different dimensions like $date[1][31]="Some random event"; $date[1][1]="New years or whatever"; On a side note, have you ever considered using MySQL for calenders, I've tried wrapping my head around calendars and managed to do it with MySQL.

$var = ($rows['views'] > 100)?true:false; BAM hehe. If the statement in the brackets is true return true, otherwise false. Avoid using numbers at the start of variables and you're fine. Hope it helps. this might help to understand this syntax. Also when saying (greater than '100') don't use the quotes, treat it as a number. echo "Hey, ".(($rows['views']>100)?"It's greater":"It's not greater")." and bye.";

Hey if i have a login system like it sets just say $_SESSION['user'] to their user ID would that be safe? I'm not sure if people can actually edit sessions on the client end.

I feel stupid but I learnt, thanks very much.

Hey I need to know how to get a live listing of currency values so I can convert from AUD to USD or whatever but I don't know how, please help.

Nooooo, It's not fair, hehe, OK thanks

Aaah thanks a bunch, is there a way to stop it from whitespacing like that?

I have a foreach() way of drawing a form for putting it in a database just say: $form=Array("Name"); it will display $val: <input type=text name="$val"> and whatnot

<input type=hidden name="My Value" value="lol"> Later on... echo $_POST["My Value"]; The result is nothing, why doesn't this work and what can i do to get around this. It only does this when my POST variable doesn't have a space and i would LARGELY prefer this thing to be possible, how can i do this? Thanks for the help.

Thanks a bunch for your help, preg_match is really kool.

I've never worked in that area of PHP, but i think sessions come in handy when handling people joining and leaving, if there are 8 seats have $_SESSION[1] and onwards, change the session time to less so if someone quits or leaves unexpectedly, it will drop them automatically in a certain amount of time. And also to make it live are you using ajax or what's the deal? hehe

Hi I want to be able to check addresses, for example it checks if the street address is valid. "123 Test street" I need to know how to check if the string contains a number then a space then a letter in one. "<number><space><letter>" is there anything that can do that? I heard about preg_match but that thing confuses me.

Oh i'm fine then, thanks heaps

This should return the last entered ID: <?php $qry = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `Cars` (`ID`,`Make`,`Model`) VALUES (NULL,'$_POST[Make]','$_POST[Model]');"); echo "Car ID is " . mysql_insert_id(); ?> Note you should never use short tags (<?) in PHP. It is widely disallowed and not compatable. EDIT: You should use mysql_real_escape_string on your query to disallow SQL injection.. Oh I didn't know it was that simple haha, thanks. Why are <? disallowed and not compatible? I have always used it on my websites and had no problems.

When I Insert in MySQL i want to grab the ID it auto assigns, take this for example <? $qry = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `Cars` ( `ID`,`Make`,`Model` ) VALUES ( NULL,'$_POST[Make]','$_POST[Model]' ); "); echo "Car ID is _____"; ?> How do i find out the car ID the MySQL database assigned?

I have this: pclose(popen("start $command","r")); hehe

Aaah perfect, it works great! That's what i was looking for, the program which executes php scripts in a process, thank you very much. I used "C:\xampp\php\php C:\site\tutorials\mail.php" and i recieved an email from myself so it worked very well hehe.

Waits? An email should take far less than a second to be sent. PHP has no forking capabilities, the best you could attempt would be to execute a command line script in the background using exec but Iv'e not seen to many people have success with this method. Well i really just want to know for future reference i know a list of call things i can do with it, such as make a program (non-PHP) that updates a website eveyr 24 hours using a php script etc. Your saying that i can exec something? What is it that i can try to execute? Thanks.

But then it waits for output, I don't want it to wait for output, I want it to run as a process.
