    ok, guard_admin.php and giglist.php are in the same directory, the CSS for guard_admin.php is not in the same directory but it is referenced correctly. I think my problem is that giglist.php contains embeded CSS and that is not being executed when it is used as an include. The CSS for guard_admin.php does not contain any references to giglist.php

    Sorry - I'm not following, guard_admin2.php is finding giglist.php through the include - its just not displaying as i expect it too.

    Hi, I've constructed a table that gets data from a database, I've formatted the .php how I want it to show, but when I 'include' it in another page the formatting goes wrong, i'm sure its some kind of CSS prority problem. can anyone tell me how preserve the format in the php file - basically I want each row to be as high as the image in the first cell. giglist.php -> www.the-guards.org.uk/private/giglist.php Included in -> www.the-guards.org.uk/private/guard_admin2.php

    it in datetime format - so for "2010-12-04 00:00:00" I need to extract "12" its more the sytax that i'm unsure of - i'm fairly new to php, but have been working with SQL for around eight years - just need a bit of guidance on how to make it work.

    Hi, I need to extract the month number from a datetime field so that I can dynamically determine a graphic file name. i currently have this in my html table: <td VALIGN=top style=\"height:80; width:80;\"><img style=\"position:absolute; z-index:1;\" src=\"calpics/background.png\" height=\"79\" width=\"79\"> <img style=\"position:absolute; z-index:2;\" src=\"calpics/1.png\" height=\"79\" width=\"79\"> <img style=\"position:absolute; z-index:3;\" src=\"calpics/jan.png\" height=\"79\" width=\"79\"></td>". "<td>{$row['gl_date']}</td>". the top (left) TD builds the graphic, where I have "1.png" I'd like to determing the file name from the date. for a starting point, i'd like to know how to display {$row['gl_date']} as just the month number.

    You should be developing and debugging php code on a system with error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON in your master php.ini so that php will help you. You will save a TON of time. ah well thats highlighted a problem - my hosting provider upgraded their servers over the weekend - looks like I'm not getting error messages any more - i'll get in touch with them as I dont think I can access the php.ini myself. thanks, Darren

    ok i've added the values to the option tags "<option value="2">2</option>" etc, but i'm still getting a blank page from the if statement - is my syntax correct?
  9. dazzathedrummer
    ahh - its always something simple! thanks

    Thanks for that link, that works perfectly. My next question is, what am I doing wrong here: - I'm trying to set up an if statement to change the graphic image based on the results of a form. So, for example, if the form posts 'Month = 1' and 'Day = 1' then show the graphics relevent to January 1st. Im pretty sure i'll be able to figure out the file selection - I just cant seem to get any kind of if statement to work. This is what I created to try and echo it out: - www.the-guards.org.uk/private/calendartest does this: - <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en"> <head> <title>Calendar test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <style type="text/css"> #background { position: absolute; left: 100px; top: 100px; z-index: 1; } #layer_1 { position: absolute; left: 100px; top: 100px; z-index: 2; } #layer_2 { position: absolute; left: 100px; top: 100px; z-index: 3; } #selectform { position: absolute; left: 100px; top: 200px; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Show Calendar pic test</h1> <div id="background"> <img src="calpics/background.png" width="79" height="79" alt="Background"> </div> <div id="layer_1"> <img src="calpics/25.png"width="79" height="79" alt="layer1"> </div> <div id="layer_2"> <img src="calpics/mar.png"width="79" height="79" alt="layer2"> </div> <div id="selectform"> <form action="calposttest.php" method="post"> <select name="month" id="month"> <option selected="selected">1</option> <option>2</option> <option>3</option> <option>4</option> <option>5</option> <option>6</option> <option>7</option> <option>8</option> <option>9</option> <option>10</option> <option>11</option> <option>12</option> </select>Month <br> <select name="day" id="day"> <option selected="selected">1</option> <option>2</option> <option>3</option> <option>4</option> <option>5</option> <option>6</option> <option>7</option> <option>8</option> <option>9</option> <option>10</option> <option>11</option> <option>12</option> <option>13</option> <option>14</option> <option>15</option> <option>16</option> <option>17</option> <option>18</option> <option>19</option> <option>20</option> <option>21</option> <option>22</option> <option>23</option> <option>24</option> <option>25</option> <option>26</option> <option>27</option> <option>28</option> <option>29</option> <option>30</option> <option>31</option> </select>Day<br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"> </form> </div> </body> </html> and calposttest.php does this: - <?php if ($_POST["month"]=="1") { echo $_POST["month"]} else echo "something"; ?> All i'm trying to do at the moment is get the if statement to work so I can adapt it to echo the filenames of the different calendar images - once I get that going i'll then conect it to a db so the image is generated from a date field.
  11. dazzathedrummer
    ..do you mean by simply positioning the three images in the same place??
  12. dazzathedrummer
    Hi, I have an events page on my site (gigs) and we use an iPhone style graphic depicting a tear off calendar to illustrate the dates: - http://www.the-guards.org.uk/gigs.html I'm wondering if I can use a script to select and layer three images to build the final calendar image - ie, a background image, with a month name image and a number image for the day layered on top. At the moment we hard code the whole list in html and create a new image for each date that we have a booking for. I can then store 1 image for the background, 12 month images and 31 day number images and the date can be determined by using date functions on the date field in my database (which I can do - its just the graphic layering I'm unsure about). ?

    Ok, slightly different question. I've created a cookie system so that if the cookie is not present, the browser redirects to the login page - i'm happy that that is enough security for the 'members only' pages. My question now is, assuming my restricted content contains an include that generates a list of users, if the page itself is restricted by cookie access - this doesn't stop the include file being run if the url was guessed - is there a way to protect the include file apart from hard coding it in the content page itself?
  14. dazzathedrummer
    That makes sense thanks! How do I protect the content of the 'members' pages, surely, even though you have to be logged in to access them, eventually any static html on those pages would be picked up by, say, google and therefore be visible??
  15. dazzathedrummer
    That looks good! So presumably the 'members only' content has a cookie/session check at the top to redirect back to 'login' if no cookie/login is set. Is a session better for this than a cookie?
  16. dazzathedrummer
    Hi, I have a basic login system that I've created (with help from this forum!), I can get a user to register, updating a MySQL db and then set a cookie when they log in. My next step is to create some pages that only the logged in users can get access to. I'm just wondering where to start with that - what's the best way of doing that and where shall I start reading? thanks, Darren
  17. dazzathedrummer
    ahhh, I get it! That looks like its done the trick - thank you (and everyone else) very much!!!
  18. dazzathedrummer
    That sorts out the IE layout problem - but now I get php header errors where it was working before?!?!?! <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <?php //this adds 30 days to the current time $setcookie = setcookie(AboutVisit, date("F jS - g:i a"), $Month); ?> <html>........... <head> the file itself is a .php that i'm trying to run html within and associate a css to.
  19. dazzathedrummer
    Well thanks to all above - i've got the code working now (although I haven't implemented it yet). My only problem now is the strange IE formatting behaviour. I've made the changes to the Float and width attributes, but it hasn't made any difference - is there a 'best place' to declare/link the css within a php file?
  20. dazzathedrummer
    I cant seem to get past this - if ($pass != $info['password']) { header("Location: login1.php"); } I just get a 'cannot modify headers' error - I tried to declare it above, but that didnt work either. any suggestions? ..looking better though - starting to take shape!
  21. dazzathedrummer
    OK I fixed the header error by declaring the setcookie at the top and the calling it in the code in the body
  22. dazzathedrummer
    Square brackets - doh! thanks!
  23. dazzathedrummer
    OK, that makes sense to me - it seems logical, but as soon as i get to "setcoockie" I get the "Cannot modify header information...." error because its beloe the head eleiment - and presumably it will do this when it gets to "{ header("Location: login1.php"); " as well. This is the bit that confuses me! ... incidentally, what forum code are you using to display the code above? I tried <code></code> but it didn't work .
  24. dazzathedrummer
    Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help - as I said, I'm completely new to php, so if i question your responses, i'm just trying to understand how it works and i don't mean to imply any disrespect or even doubt. I will have a go at implementing the above suggestions when I get home from work this evening. I'm still getting to grips with where things should appear in the script and how all of that works. Ideally I'd like the 'welcome' and login/out/register details to appear under the youtube video, but I dont really understand how to put that in that Div without getting an error about setting headers - but i'll get to that later, once i've got to grips with running the html and php from the php file. All I did was take the html at www.the-guards.co.uk and add the following: - <code> <?php $Month = 2592000 + time(); //this adds 30 days to the current time setcookie(AboutVisit, date("F jS - g:i a"), $Month); if(isset($_COOKIE['AboutVisit'])) { $username = $_COOKIE['ID_my_site']; $last = $_COOKIE['AboutVisit']; echo "Welcome back $username <br> You last visited on ". $last, " "; } else { echo "Welcome to our site! "; } // Connects to your Database mysql_connect("database.lcn.com", "LCN_7792", "theguards9402") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("the_guards_org_uk_users") or die(mysql_error()); //checks cookies to make sure they are logged in if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_my_site'])) { $username = $_COOKIE['ID_my_site']; $pass = $_COOKIE['Key_my_site']; $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'")or die(mysql_error()); while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check )) { //if the cookie has the wrong password, they are taken to the login page if ($pass != $info['password']) { header("Location: login1.php"); } //otherwise they are shown the admin area else { echo "You are currently logged in<p>"; echo "<a href=logout1.php>Logout</a>"; } } } else echo "<a href=login1.php>Login</a>", " or ", "<a href=reg1.php>register</a>"; ?> </code>

    Hi, Thanks for your reply, I'm at work at the moment so I cant try it out but I will do when I get home. Is it really just a case of specifying the width in the CSS? I'm having trouble following the logic on that..... - I take a html page that works fine (www.the-guards.org.uk) - I save it down as a .php - works fine in all browsers - I add some php code - it works fine in all browsers except IE I'm not saying that your wrong, i'd just like to understand how that works. thanks, Darren
