[SOLVED] HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Hi Guys,

Im new here and im hoping someone has the answer to my question...

I have a flash site with a registration form which works very well but i need to add a validation to it to check that the email address that the user adds ends in .pnn.police.uk

Im not sure if i need the code to be in the php page which is here...

<?php
//include the connect script
include "connect.php";

/*THIS VARIABLE IS WHAT TABLE YOU ARE USING...IF YOU USED MY SQL FILE, THEN YOUR DEFAULT TABLE*/
/*NAME SHOULD BE 'userv2' AND YOU DO NOT NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING, BUT IF YOU MADE YOUR OWN TABLE,*/
/*CHANGE THIS VARIABLE.*/
$tableName = "usersv2";

//Post all of the users information (md5 Encrypt the password)
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = md5($_POST['password']);
$passwordsend = ($_POST['password']);
$firstName = $_POST['firstName'];
$lastName = $_POST['lastName'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$zip = $_POST['zip'];


//Generate confKey (this is used to determine which user it is when the user forget's their password.
function createConfKey() {
$chars = "abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz023456789";
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$i = 0;
$key = '';
while ($i <= 31) { 
	$num = rand() % 33;
	$tmp = substr($chars, $num, 1);
	$key = $key . $tmp;
	$i++;
}    
return $key;
}
$thekey = createConfKey();
//$theKey is the random 32 character string and then $confKey is the random 32 character string with md5 encryption.
$confKey = md5($thekey);
//grab all the usernames in the table
$sql1 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $tableName WHERE username = '$username'");
//grab all the emails in the table
$sql2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $tableName WHERE email = '$email'");
//get number of results from both queries
$row1 = mysql_num_rows($sql1);
$row2 = mysql_num_rows($sql2);
//if there is a result it will be either 1 or higher
if($row1 > 0 || $row2 > 0) {
//echo username or email is already in use and deny registration.
echo "&msgText=Username or email already in use!";
} else {
//if there was no existing username or email, insert all their information into the database.
$insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO $tableName (username,password,firstName,lastName,email,phone,address,city,state,zip,confKey) VALUES ('$username','$password','$firstName','$lastName','$email','$phone','$address','$city','$state','$zip','$confKey')") or die(mysql_error());

If someone knows the answer to this i would really appreciate it.

It's actually more simple than you would of imagined...

Check more into explode.

craigtolputt · July 11, 2008

Hmmmmm Simple Hey!!

Im not sure about that ha ha

Anyway what is explode? and is it php or flash? or is it a site?

sorry im probably looking a bit silly right now but i really need to get this sorted.

cheers

kenrbnsn · July 11, 2008

The explode() function is PHP.

Ken

Lamez · July 11, 2008

use PHP, it is so much easier.

craigtolputt · July 11, 2008

Ah OK this looks like it might work...

So if i need it to check that the extension of an email address is .pnn.police.uk could i do something like...

<?php
// Example 1
$extension  = "pnn police uk";
$email = explode(" ", $extension);
echo $email[0]; // .pnn
echo $email[1]; // .police
echo $email[2]; // .uk

?>

craigtolputt · July 11, 2008

If someone here knows how i can do this i am willing to pay for the advice as i have been playing with this for about 3 days now and the dealine is getting close

cheers

July 11, 2008

The explode feature will allow you to basically disect your requestee's email address - something like this

<?php
$explode = explode("@", $email);

if($email == $explode){
   NUL;
} elseif {
if($explode['1'] = ".pnn.police.uk")
}

?>

As you can see I'm still a noob, and that will prolly never ever work, but it's simple enough to where someone here could quickly make it work I'm sure.

the shig · July 11, 2008

hi

i need to add a validation to it to check that the email address that the user adds ends in .pnn.police.uk

here you go.

<?php
function check_email($email)
{
      return (substr(trim($email), -14) == '.pnn.police.uk');	
}

//example use

if(!check_email($email))
{
    echo "email not ok";
}
else{
   
    // ok.
}

?>

At the moment, your script is really, REALLY insecure. Your database could be dropped in a jiffy.

The bare minimum you should do to this input is pass it all through mysql_real_escape_string() and strip_tags(). The actionscript validation is not validation. it just checks to see if they've input something.

thats $14,211,199.64 for services rendered. I shall PM you the invoice. be careful what you wish for

thats $14,211,199.64 for services rendered. I shall PM you the invoice. be careful what you wish for Grin

ROFL!

craigtolputt · July 11, 2008

Ha Ha yeah sure paypal ok? lol

Sorry to sound stupid but im a designer and a bit of flash and this has been dumped on me to sort out.

So i would add this to my register file?

<?php
function check_email($email)
{
     return (substr(trim($email), -14) == '.pnn.police.uk');	
}

//example use

if(!check_email($email))
{
   echo "email not ok";
}
else{
  
   // ok.
}

?>

And what is the mysql_real_escape_string() all about, what does it do? and is it easy to addon?

July 11, 2008

Craig - http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-real-escape-string.php

mysql_real_escape_string() calls MySQL's library function mysql_real_escape_string, which prepends backslashes to the following characters: \x00, \n, \r, \, ', " and \x1a.

I think it will strip the url and protect you against mysql injections!

craigtolputt · July 11, 2008

Is it easy to implement into my php file?

Could someone take a look?

July 11, 2008

This will probabally work for you..

$email = $_POST['email'];

craigtolputt · July 11, 2008

Sorry,

that don't seem to work either, it now lets me register with say just an f in the email field....

This is very hard for such a simple thing i wish it was as easy as if ( email ends in .pnn.police.uk ) goto and play(): lmao I WISH!

July 11, 2008

Realistically you're probably having so many problems because you're using flash... But ehh, it can't be helped. Sorry I can't help you out more.

craigtolputt · July 11, 2008

thats cool man cheers for the help and trying ill keep trying to find an answer

the shig · July 11, 2008
