Hello everyone! I would like to need some help from someone who understands the basics of PHP. About the problem: I am supposed to make the user's input number multiple (a number between 0 and 10) with the text string the user has written. For example, the user writes "Hello" and "5", "Hello" should be printed out five times. I must use a for-loop and a while-loop to solve it.) Maybe it has to do with something called parameter. Would be thankful for some help! This is my current code: <form method="POST"> Message: <input type="text" name="message"/> Number: <input type="text" name="number"/> <input type="submit" value="OK!" name="submit" /> </form> <?php if(isset( $_POST["submit"] ) ) { $message = $_POST["message"]; $number = $_POST["number"]; ?> <?php for ($random = 0; $random < 10; $random = $random + $number) { echo "<ul><li>$message</li></ul>"; } ?> <?php } ?>

Hi guys, please help me to solve my problem. i want to get the url parameter using / for now i use index.php?category_id=14 how can i change the ?category_id=14 to index.php/14 thank you so much.

I didn't notice this until know. Say I have a url like this. http://www.yoursite.com?category_id=3&category_name= Grocers & Shoppers When I get the the category name using $_GET, it'll only echo 'Grocers' and not the full word 'Grocers & Shoppers'. Anyone can tell me what's happening?

I have question regarding the setup of url for multiple pages. For eg. How does one have a setup like this? http://www.groupon.ca/deals/gatineau_en/Antirouille-Metropolitain/35853918 The setup I have is like this. //Page 1 with posts shown in a specific catagory. www.mysite.ca/posts_cat.php?catagoryId=1 //Page 2 with a single post shown. www.mysite.ca/posts.php?title=this is my post As you can see, my url setup is quite different than Groupon's. I am not sure if it's the correct way to do it; but it does work. The reason I have two different pages for posts are because I have two different css designs. I suppose my question is, is my method ok? And how do I make it so it looks like Groupon's way?

Hi PHP Freaks! I'm one of the newer users here, yep. And this is my first post here ^.^ I have recently started working on my very simple script in PHP. Parse username/password, perform checks against array to see if username exists and if password is correct for specified user. Print out a message as a finish result. And here is what my problem is.. So far I have written this code (PHP): <?php // List of users and their password. $users = array(1 => 'admin', 2 => 'UserTwo', 3 => 'UserThree', 4 => 'UserFour'); $pass = array(1 => '1234', 2 => 'second', 3 => 'third', 4 => 'fourth'); // Compare username parameter against users list (check if user exists). if (in_array($_GET['username'], $users)) { // User is found. Compare password parameter against pass list corresponding to user ID in array. $userId = array_search($_GET['username'], $users); // Compare password parameter against pass list (using specific userId to check if password is valid). if ($_GET['password'] != $pass[userId]) { echo 'You have entered invalid password.'; } else { echo 'Welcome, '.$_GET['username'].'!'; } } else { // User is not found. echo 'You have entered invalid user name.'; } ?> I guess some of you experienced in PHP understand what I am doing up there Basically I wanted to parse username/password arguments to the URL. That works just fine ( echo $_GET['username'] . '<br>' . $_GET['password']; ) ( Just a note, I use Xampp, so it is http://localhost/login.php?username=admin&password=1234 ) Problem starts at line 9.. I am unsure about that part (I just written it out of my mind and little documentation I have found on their official website) with userId and then comparing it to correspond to the user (like like associating password to specific user id, users[0] = admin to have password 1234, users[1] , and so). Could somebody fix this and post up the code, much appreciated (excuse me for little English mistakes, it is not my native language, I do my best to keep it well) Also include a little description or just explain it in several words, what/where I messed up Thanks in advance.
