Oh and by the way, if you want to do redirects within PHP, try using the Header method instead. E.g.

header('Location: target.html');

Hey,

Could you not use cURL to read the response from the URL supplied, and then check that it starts with something like the following using regular expressions?


<?xml version="1.0"...

fsockopen takes an integer for the second argument, not a string. Also, be sure to use a secure connection when connecting to PayPal. Their IPN guide explains about this.

I came up against this same issue myself recently, and finally settled on using cURL to determine whether a URL was valid, or not.

If you open a cURL connection to the URL, and check for the...

You could always try str_replace.
E.g.

Hey,

Have you tried using the strtotime method... e.g.


date('d-m-Y h:ia', strtotime("tomorrow at 3:30pm") ) ;


R.

You're incorrect. Give the target directory ownership to your webserver user (e.g. www-data), and likewise the upload script ownership to your webserver user and it will work without the need for 777...

The directory really shouldn't have 777 permissions. Why not give the directory normal permissions, and just chown it and the upload script to the webserver user??

Hi,

You could use the date method...


echo date( 'G \hours, i \minutes, s \seconds', strtotime($row['timeleft']) );


You'll need to escape the characters from "hours", "minutes" and...

Hi,

You could replace your for loop with a foreach loop such as:


foreach($link as $arrLink) {

echo $arrLink['f_name'];
echo $arrLink['l_name'];

Quickest option, although it isn't restricted to only four characters would be to:


select * from `example` where `content` like 'AAAA%' or `content` like '%DDDD';

Hey, try looking at the array_push and array_shift methods.

Array_shift removes the first element in the array and returns it to you. Array_push adds the pushed element to the end of the array.

Why not burn an image of Ubuntu to a CD, and simply run the OS from the CD? You wouldn't have to install anything to do this.

That should do it.

Where is your code so far?

A hint would be to use the scandir and isdir PHP method to write a recursive method...

Post what you manage to write, and I'll happily help.

You should put your values in speech marks. And it is a good idea to use the PHP sprinf() function for security too.


$strSql = sprinf( "update `PHPACUTIONXL_auctions` set `current_bid` = '%d',...

Oops, meant to be $strFind.

Google probably geocode your IP address, then look up the corresponding timezone for that part of the world.

Hey,

I usually use the float attribute. E.g.


<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>

You're getting the value courseID from the URL. If this value isn't set, you'll get the notice you're seeing.

To overcome this, you could use:

$courseID = ( isset( $_GET['courseID'] ) ?...

Hence my second paragraph :)
