What exactly are you trying to do? Surely this is a problem for the client interface, not the server?

The second way will be quicker and easier.

You can use SQL to connect to you DB and search and sort, for example:

SELECT *
FROM userData
WHERE user_age > 30
AND user_type = 'NORMAL'
ORDER...

Half the commands are commented...

Ah, calm down. The problem is that $HTTP_ x _VARS isn't enabled in PHP5. Ya need to change your php.ini file settings.

PHP is a dynamic programming language. It, for example, generated the page that your are viewing now.

You can't AFAIK.

Certainly not if the USB scanner is on a client machine rather than a server.
Moreover, I've never heard of an extension to do this.

If you merely wish to use the barcode...

WHy do you need the number of rows?

In a loop, the break and continue keyworks work as in C; however, for IF I am not certain. Best to try them out and see what works, or check www.php.net

Yes; you can either do:
include("/home/.sites/88/site213/web/test_server/events1/web/ssi/{$pageName}_secondarynav.htm"); or include('/home/.sites/88/site213/web/test_server/events1/web/ssi/'...

Actually it will. It's a valid result handle, irrelevant of its contents.

Are you syre that the query is returning a result?

Ah, I wasn't aware of this...

while ($type_row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_event_type_result)){
Should this not be as below? (mysql_fetch_array to mysql_fetch_row)
while ($type_row = mysql_fetch_row($sql_event_type_result)){
...

Sorry, what? I'm not quite sure what you mean there.

Unless your PHP.ini file has been explicitly modified to do this (register_globals = on), $_GET['page'] will NOT be the same as $page. $_GET is...

But why would that in anyway affect the variable? I mean, all you are doing by using "$context" is saying to PHP:

I'm typing some text here, feed this into the parser. If you find any variables,...

To YoungTrek: I can't see any problems with the code, but then I don't tend to use the mysql functions directly. Try it out, see if it works.

As for MarCarNar, I'd suggest that you get a good grip...

That is not the problem, at least with regard to the error specified. The problem is that you think that by visiting mysite.php?page=2, the variable $page will be set to 2. In the majority of...

Why bother enquoting $context in the include statement? Just slows down the parser...

Storing a picture in a database is generally a bad idea... they are usually designed for fast retrieval operations of small bits of data, not saving massive picture files.

The website that told you to use $PHP_SELF is severely out of date. Instead, use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

It has to end in .php to be parsed by the PHP engine, change your file name back to PrintInfo.php.

The HTML code (within the PrintInfo.php code) will not be analysed by the PHP parser, bnut...

Well you'll have to tell me what level of experience you have... for example, would you recognise what the hereafter inserted code block does?

<?php

echo 'Hello, world!';

?>

Not exactly....
a) $HTTP_POST_VARS are out dated, use $_POST now; and
b) If you use comments to show things in REAL code, people will pick up what you're doing far faster than if you confuse them...

Or, if you (very wisely) do not have auto_globals enabled, then $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].

require("$content");
This'll work, but it's a waste of the script interpreter's time:

require($content);
This is faster. (Without the double quotes this time - the double quotes tell the...

A mistake I made was to assume that the PHP woukld work just by double cliking the file or opening it in its directory. You need to visit

http://localhost/path/to/your/file.php

For security reasons, you should use $_GET['II']. $_GET is for URL variables. If it's form data, you'd need to use $_POST['form_var_name_here'], and for Cookies, $_COOKIE['cookie_var_name_here']....

Sounds like that your query is pulling nothing. What I would do, is above the while() section of your code, add $mapname = array(); This will force $mapname to be an array - otherwise, if your query...

Try replacing $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW with $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] and $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] respectively.

That's usually best. Saves a lot of hassle.

Try replacing $PHP_SELF with $_SERVER['php_self']

Oh you could use preg_replace() with some regular expression trickery...

www.php.net/preg-replace
www.regular-expressions.info

htmlentities()

Go to downloads... downlaod what you need... absolutely free and open source.

PHP is compiled at run time. The Zend Optimiser merely cleans up the code to make it compile faster......

Could we see the code for this report?

You've missed out a dot between the "surname" and the $surname.

But... why not just have "Surname: $surname Firstname: $first_name" etc rather than bothering with the dots... otherwise you're...

Due to a restriction in the HTTP Protocol, YOU HAVE TO SEND COOKIES AND OTHER HEADER DATA BEFORE ANY OUTPUT. The best way I can think of doing that without to many drastic changes would be to move...

Books can only take you so far, and they're often quite outdated - though I'm surprised that it's assuming request (sent in forms, urls, cookies) variables have been assigned to normal variables...

ok, have you covered arrays? I will assume you have for the moment. Otherwise, the following will only confuse you. :p

AFAIK, as is only used in a foreach() statement.

Let's say that you have...

Well it's no doubt because the server administrator is sane.

Try changing $username to $_POST['username']. By default PHP won't assign external variables passed through forms, cookies, and URLs...
