Thanks so much. Thats exactly what I was looking for. I am sorta unfamiliar with PHPs type casting syntax. I'm trying to stress test a script i'm preparing and just thought this would be a cool...

Well sorta.. It would basically generate all teh combinations of a set containing 'a' through 'z'. i.e. {a,b,c,...,z}. So it owuldnt just generate aa, bb, cc.. it would go through all the possible...

Hi all. I'm attempting to output all of the possible combination from "a" to "zzzz" and I'm wondering if theres an easy way of doing that. As an example output would be ...

a
b
c
....
z
aa...

Wow thanks so much for that. I thought you meant an actual abstract class, i.e:
abstract class foo {...}

One question though.. is there any significance behind the values of the constants or did...

Abstraction is one thing I'm not too advanced with.. Could you provide an example of what you mean by an abstraction layer using the GET/POST/etc... variables? Any help would be appreciated.
...

O wow, sorry. I read your previous post wrong.

Thanks!

Thanks for the response. How can I use them then? I'm going to assume pass them in as parameters? The only problem with that is that my program relies on $_GET and $_POST for program flow. What...

Hi all. I have a current PHP script which checks a number of GET, POST, and REQUEST variables. These are currently in a top-down PHP file and these variables control the flow of the application. I...

Hi all.. .I'm trying to use preg_split but I'm having trouble getting the regular expression I want.

What I have now is a long character string, upwards of 200 characters depending on user...

Hi all,

I plan on desining a PHP driven site. I was wondering what people used in terms of a framework (or none at all). I've looked into ones such as Cake PHP but I'm just not sure whats out...

Yea, if you started using IIS and then subsequently started WAMP, your wamp web server probably didnt start, only the mysql server started most likely. If you would like to run both, you can easly...

What do you mean "an enrollment" system? What would this entail/accomplish? Also, what functionality would you be looking for?

Thanks.

At a very high level, it allows you to write one function and use it over and over and over again making your program easier to code, more compact and more efficent.

Again, at a very high level,...

PHP isnt usually installed on an IIS server. IIS servers usually run ASP/.NET. Like matale said, make sure php is acutally installed on your server before you try anything.

Well php isnt really made for presentation. The standard is to make any style/presentation effects through css. I don't even think you can change the background w/ php, I could be wrong though.

Hey,

You need to include the connection as a paramater within the mysql_query method. For example,


$connection = mysql_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS) or die(mysql_error());...

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to populate an array with file information from certain directories. Currently I have an array with all the file names in it. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to get...

Yea, ive used them before. I wanted to do this myself to learn how to use both apache and php5 better.

Hey everyone,

I'm attempting to set up my own web server with apache2 and php5. I set up apache fine and it works. My problem is that when i install php5 my apache wont start. I just get an...

UPDATE: What i am doing is takign the html string, performing the php function, addslashes($html); and then inserting that into the database. This works however when I tried to print to the screen...

Thanks for the response. I know it looks dumb but for some reason php echo commands do not work on the server (its not my server, im doing this fo a friend). So I resorted to js commands to print...

Correction, straight HTML works however scripts will not work.

I need to return some HTML code stored as a text data type in my database. Is there a way to return this HTML effiencly through PHP that will execute this code when HTML parses the page? Currently...

This may or may not have been said already but it seems that you did no install the PHP engine properly. To tell you the truth, the easyist thing to do would be to uninstall everything you have done...

Usually forms come in two parts, the actual HTML and a server side processing script in PHP. The HTML is how everything is displayed and where the information is input through textboxes, checkboxes,...

Make sure your PHP engine is installed properly and functional. Create a new file and name it phpinfo.php and insert the following code into it.

<?php

phpinfo();

?>


This will give...

Exactly. Id like to create the same type of system as online poker where a user can "sit in" but in this case you would be fighting and it would be limited to two users.

Thanks!!! How about creating an "table" type system? I dont really know where to start w/ this topic.

I have thought about how to code it with just PHP, which I agree would be easier, but I don't know how to implement the turn based element into the PHP code. Would I just have to have an auto...

Thanks for the help. I understand the basics, like creating a simple form you posted above, but I have scoured the net for advanced topics and found nothing. For example what I would like to do,...

Are there any resources out there that would point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Hey guys. Ive been working on an online game and Im attempting to code the attack arena. Bascialy what i want is people to be able to "sit down" at some sort of "table" (kinda like online poker)...

Hey guys. I have a program that when i button is clicked it should increase an attribute by one and decrease a stat point by one. For some reason it dosent decrease the stat point by one, it sets...

Hey everyone. I'm trying to write code to update a stat field within my database and I'm having some trouble passing the variables from the form page to the process page. Below is my code. I know...

Ahh i figured it out. I had to do this:

$q = "SELECT family_id FROM ".TBL_FAMILIES." WHERE family_name = '$family_name'";
$id = mysql_query($q, $this->connection);
$id =...

Hey everyone. Im trying to make an online RPG where you can join "Families" or clans. I the code below is what I have thus far. It works but for some reason it wont update the creating users...

Also, now my problem is that another user would not be able to view someone elses page because it always sets the user to yourself. So i'm kinda back to square one. Anyone see a way out of this?...

UPDATE: SO i figured it out. I moved the statement you told me to put in before the include statement to the top of the userinfo.php :
$req_user = $_GET['username'] = $session->username;

And...

Ok, still stuck. I changed my include to what you said and I still get the error, " Username not registered.":(

One last thing, this is the line in my userinfo.php thats causing me problems:


//Requested Username error checking
$req_user = trim($_GET['user']);
if(!$req_user || strlen($req_user) == 0 ||...
