[Duplicate data showing from single variable]

$tnumber starts as integer 1, but is then used in preg_match where it would be an array.

 

Like mac_gyver said, you should post the code you are using to include this file.

[How can I pass a CSS class style into a PHP function's parameter?]

<div class= $class >
<p><?php echo $text ?></p>
</div>

Just as you have echoed the $text variable you will need to do so for the $class variable

<div class="<?php echo $class; ?>">
<p><?php echo $text; ?></p>
</div>

Also needs to be wrapped in double quotes ( or single if you prefer ) for valid HTML syntax

[Blocking browser agent with PHP]

[How To Improve This Demo Site?]

The first thing I noticed is that you are using bootstrap. But why? You only use it in one place ( the nav ). You have also added empty divs to add a clear to floating elements.

Have a read on bootstrap and you will find that adding the clearfix class to the parent will remove the need to add empty divs.

 

Also your text looks a little big, try decreasing the size.

And use relative urls for serving static content unless they are coming from a different domain

 

Also W3C has a few complaints.

[Gamebu]

Just an update for you guys.

 

I have a few new features that have been implemented on the staging subdomain http://staging.gamebu.co.uk

 

The features include:

 

• User profiles
• Adding friends (from profiles)
• Activity timeline (of your friends)
• Internal comment system
• Session tracking (number of active users and guests)
• Newest users indicator (under "logo")
• Profile completion percentage (visit your profile for info)

 

If you could test these out and make sure everything is working I can begin deploying them to the live site.

 

Thanks

[New design for Gamebu]

Hi all,

 

I have been working on a new design for my site Gamebu. You can find the current design on the current site and the new design is located here:

 

http://staging.gamebu.co.uk/

 

I decided to go for lighter colors and a cleaner look.

 

I would be interested to know your thoughts on this dramatic change. Is this a better direction?

 

Thanks

[Gamebu]

Care to mention which input?

[Need help in incorporate php into java script - google API]

Posting a big block of code and asking where the errors are is not going to get any reasonable answers.

 

What errors are being shown to you?

[Serious Case of Developers Block]

The best thing to do when that happens is take a break. Like Phailip I usually go for a run or drive somewhere. Then, while out, I usually have an idea or the motivation comes back so I rush home.

 

The worst thing to do is force yourself through the wall.

[how to escape parenthesis ?]

You will need to escape the parenthesis in your search query like so

$search = "test\(test\)test\[test\]\.zip

[Database wont update]

You have a trailing comma at this line which would cause an error in your sql syntax

eventdate = '".$mysqli->real_escape_string($_POST['eventdate'])."',

You also have a syntax error here

where eventid = S'".$mysqli->real_escape_string($_REQUEST['eventid'])."'";

"S" should be within the quotes

[Function to sort multidimensional array by a value]

Sorry for being in the wrong forum but I couldn't post in the Code Snippets section.

 

Here is a quick function that will sort a multidimensional array by a given value

function subval_sort(array $array, $subkey, $reverse = false)
{
	if (empty($array))
	{
		return array();
	}

	$temp_array = array();

	foreach ($array as $key => $value)
	{
		$temp_array[$key] = strtolower($value[$subkey]);
	}
		
	if ($reverse)
	{
		arsort($temp_array);
	}
	else
	{
		asort($temp_array);	
	}

	$_array = array();

	foreach ($temp_array as $key => $value)
	{
		$_array[] = $array[$key];
	}
	
	return $_array;
}

It can be used as such:

$array = [
    0 => [
        'value' => 6
    ],
    1 => [
        'value' => 2
    ],
    2 => [
        'value' => 1
    ]
]

$array = subval_sort($array, 'value');

This would return:

[
    0 => [
        'value' => 1
    ],
    1 => [
        'value' => 2
    ],
    2 => [
        'value' => 6
    ]
]

And it can be reversed by specifying a third parameter (bool)

$array = subval_sort($array, 'value', true);

[Dynamic changing dropdown boxes]

If I understand correctly you are populating the select boxes with the categories array?

 

If so then in the onchange you would check to see if the selected value is in the next object array.

 

So if they chose Product Name in the startList select box you would remove Product name from the Software manufacturer object array.

[how to keep the choosed data in the <select> element? HTML]

<select name="year" >
for ($year = 1960; $year <= 2030; $year++)  {
    if (!empty($_POST) && $_POST['year'] === $year) {
        echo '<option selected value="'.$year.'"><h4>' .$year.'<h4></option>';
    } else {
        echo '<option value="'.$year.'"><h4>' .$year.'<h4></option>';
    }
}
</select>

You need to check if there is post data and if the posted data matches the value of the option

[Php String Search.. So Confused Help]

Assuming that it is always 10 characters after the url you could try something like:

$string = '<html><stuff>dsadfsdasfasfasfasfsafasfasfasf superman was awsome hehe https:\/\/superman.com\/Jmd8KKtjIj <html><stuff>dsadfsdasfasfasfasfsafasfasfasf superman was awsome hehe https:\/\/superman.com\/Jmd8KKtjIj <html><stuff>dsadfsdasfasfasfasfsafasfasfasf superman was awsome hehe https:\/\/superman.com\/Jmd8KKtjIj';

$string = str_replace('\/', '/', $string);

preg_match_all('|https\:\/\/superman.com\/([a-z0-9]{10})|i', $string, $matches);
		
die(var_dump($matches));

That would give you

array (size=2)
  0 => 
    array (size=3)
      0 => string 'https://superman.com/Jmd8KKtjIj' (length=31)
      1 => string 'https://superman.com/Jmd8KKtjIj' (length=31)
      2 => string 'https://superman.com/Jmd8KKtjIj' (length=31)
  1 => 
    array (size=3)
      0 => string 'Jmd8KKtjIj' (length=10)
      1 => string 'Jmd8KKtjIj' (length=10)
      2 => string 'Jmd8KKtjIj' (length=10)

Hi,

 

I have recently created http://www.gamebu.co.uk and would like some testing done before I add more features.

 

Gamebu is a site where you can play online games for free. Game types include Flash, Unity3D and HTML5.

 

I have a collection of over 1000 games so far from sites such as MochiGames, FreeOnlineGames and FlashGamesDistribution.

 

I would like to know if there are any security vulnerabilities and if everything works as expected (ie no dead links).

 

Thanks

Carl

[Hello everyone! Plz give me some tips]

Most people I know learnt PHP and general web development by experimenting, myself included. I used to look through other peoples code, change things and see what happened. To this day I have never read a book on web development (or atleast a teaching book).

 

The most important thing to becoming a "good" developer is enjoying what you do. I frequently stay up til 4am writing scripts that are for personal use or experimentation. If you don't enjoy it then you may aswell learn something else.

[Best way to get file mime-type/extension]

I usually use pathinfo() to get the extension of files.

 

$ext = pathinfo($_FILES['file'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

[Register & Login form problem...]

Just to add to the point

Also you should put an exit(); after every header('Location: ..');

 

You should add an exit() or die() because the rest of the script will still be executed unless you exit() or die()

[Form submit with recaptcha help]

As far as validation is concerned, you have the string "Thank you for submitting your application." outside of your if statement

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {

which means that this will always be outputted to the browser.

Instead of adding errors to a different variable each time add the to a single array.

if (empty($_POST["name"])) {        
    $errors[] = "Missing";    
}

Then you can do something like

if (!empty($errors)){    
    die(var_dump($errors));
}

Or output the errors however you would like. this would stop execution of the script if there are errors.

Secondly, you say that the script is not sending an email on success, yet i see no mail() function which is an internal php function to send emails.
