Looks like manish.s beat me too it. Just remember that your checkbox group is an array, and they have to be extracted with a loop. Also, a radio button may be better for the service if you only want one possible value.

Re: Decrypting an encrupted credit card number

Do the customers know you are storing there credit card numbers? Do the credit card companies know about this? I think that both parties would have a problem with you storing this information without their knowing and without you having the proper security credentials.

Re: UniqueID.html

Why not replace the random meaningless filename of

$num = md5(uniqid());

with a unix timestamp which will record the files in chronological order and still be unique:

$num = date("Ymd his");
$filename = $num." ".md5(uniqid(rand(), true)).".html";

?
This way you would know exactly when each file was written.

Re: Read contents of external text file into html page

Yes the http.conf shouldn't have to be modified for simple read and write of text files. The http.conf is more used for things like enabling advanced functions like mod_rewrite that aren't normally enabled by default.
Look into fopen, fwrite, and fread. Also if you run into trouble, DaniWeb has one of the best php forums in the world, hands down.

Re: passing variables from php/html to java scripts

Your code is a complete mess. You're trying to echo static html and it doesn't have any <?php delimiters. The delimiters tell the server which parts of the code to parse. Without them, all of your code gets delivered to the browser without being parsed in plain text.
You are also mixing html and xhtml elements, no doctype...
Here's a cleaner version of your page:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<script type="text/javascript">

function ConfirmForm()
{
var cmp = document.zzz.N.value;

	if (cmp != "")
	{
	 return confirm("are you sure you want to submit this?");
	}
	else
	{
	 return alert("You have not filled all of the necesary fields");
	}
}

</script>
<title>Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="zzz" method="get" action="something.php"  onsubmit='return ConfirmForm();'>

Name: <input type='text' name="N" id="N" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />

</form>

</body>
</html>

Your javascript validation will work fine to save the user time. However, it's not going to be secure. You need to do server side validation. At the top of something.php, do some basic checks and redirect back to the referring page if any fields aren't complete:

<?php
if(empty($_GET['N'])){
header('Location:form.php');
exit;
}
?>
<html>
<head>

Re: diffrence between inc and php file

Apache is normally not configured to parse a .inc file so, if a user views the file, the source code will be revealed as plain text. However, if the users views the php file, the server will parse everything and the user will only see html.

Re: Class.something vs .class

It's the nesting order of the elements. For instance:

p .red { color:red }

would apply a style to elements nested in p tags with the class="red" like below:

<p>The following span is <span class="red">red</span></p>

It would display as: The following span is red
Also,

.class1 p {color:green}

would apply a style to p elements nested under elements with class="class1" like below:

<div class="class1">Bill had <p>green</p> shoes on.</div>

It would display as:
Bill had
green
shoes on.

Re: Publish Website

You'll need some type of ftp (file transfer protocol) software. This will allow you to move your files from your local machine to the server that the site is hosted on. Most web editors like Dreamweaver and FrontPage already have ftp included. Otherwise, there are many free ones like Filezilla and FireFTP that will do just fine. Once the software is installed, you'll need your domain name, username, and password to connect to the site.

You'll probably have to enable mod rewrite by uncommenting a line in the http.conf file located in apache/conf/ folder. You won't be able to mod rewrite without first enabling it.

Re: Setting a Background Image problem

Create a blank php page and put the following in to see how it should work:

<?php 
$profpic="http://www.daniweb.com/alphaimages/logo/logo.gif";
?>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css"> 
body {
    background-image:url('<?php echo $profpic ;?>');   
	margin-left: 10px;
	margin-top: 4px;
	margin-right: 5px;
	}
</style>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

After you see how it works, try replacing the $profpic value with your image path.

Re: Setting a Background Image problem

No, throw out that completely overkill switch statement and get rid of any attributes and values in the body. We don't do it like that anymore. We use CSS. Here's the basic idea:

$profpic="whateverimage.jpg";
?>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body{
background-image:url('<?php echo $profpic ;?>');
}
</style>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>

Re: please help

The name the element has in the form goes inside the brackets.
So if your form has

<input name="name" type="text" id="name" tabindex="16" />

After the form is submitted, PHP can assign the value posted to the variable. Here we assign the value of the textbox above to the variable $nameField:

$nameField=$_POST['name'];

Now if you want to use that variable in your email, you'll need to use the variable just defined.

$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
name: $nameField <br>

Get it??

Wrap the code like so:

As to your problem, your email contains undefined variables. For instance you define namefield as $nameField = $_POST['name']; but in the email you send, you have the undefined variable $name instead of the defined $nameField.

Re: please help

When using heredoc, you must open and close the variable with the same identifier.

$body = <<<em
<br><hr><br>
name: $name <br>
surname: $surname <br>
email: $email <br>
telephone: $telephone <br>
comments: $comments <br>
EOD;

should be:

$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
name: $name <br>
surname: $surname <br>
email: $email <br>
telephone: $telephone <br>
comments: $comments <br>
EOD;

Also, variables in php are case sensitive, so you'll have a blank page unless you change echo "$theresults"; to echo "$theResults";

Re: Simple Question: Is This Possible, and If So, How Would You Do It?

You could just reduce width and height like suggested, however the client will still have to download the full sized image into the cache then resize it. Users are impatient and if the images are more than a couple 100kb, they may just leave before the pics are finished downloading. Utilizing a server side script, you could create thumbnails on the fly that would be much smaller than the original and not take near the time and bandwidth to download. I know php can do this with the gd image library.

Re: Problem with where clause or ....??

Just use > instead of GREATER THAN. Since xCount is numeric, you also won't need quotes around it. So I think:

should work.

Re: PHP session problem

Are you getting a "Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by" warning at the beginning of the script? If so you may have BOM characters added to the script.

Some WYSIWYG editors will add extra BOM characters before the beginning of the script causing an output prior to session_start. You won't be able to see the characters in the code editor. Open the file in Notepad and try to spot any extra characters that shouldn't be there.

Another possible problem, if the problem script is located in a directory above the others using the session vars, I dont believe that they'll be able to share the session.

Also, as far as I know, unless session_autostart is set to 1 in php.ini, you'll need to uncomment the session_start and make sure that it comes before any other output.
