Thank you, i defined $email instead of $user. Sorry its been a long night, lucky i had some fresh eyes to go over my code

This is what i got

"
5
13

Notice: Undefined variable: user in [urlgoeshere] on line 16
"

in the below code, everything works. However if the user is logged in (where is says html goes here) it wont display anything at all.

<?php 
// Connects to your Database 
mysql_connect('host', "user", "password") or die(mysql_error()); 
mysql_select_db("database") or die(mysql_error()); 

//checks cookies to make sure they are logged in 
if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_']))
{
$email = $_COOKIE['ID_']; 
$pass = $_COOKIE['Key_'];
$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$user'")or die(mysql_error());
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check )) 
{

//if the cookie has the wrong password, they are taken to the login page 
if ($pass != $info['password']) 
{ echo "<center><a href='index.php'>Invalid Password! Please Click Here to Log In</a></center>"; 
} 

//otherwise they are shown the admin area 
else 
{ 
?>

html goes here

<?php
} 
} 
} 
else 

//if the cookie does not exist, they are taken to the login screen 
{ 
echo "<center><a href='index.php'>You DO Not Have Permission to View this Page! Please Click Here to Log In</a></center>"; 
} 
?>

yeah that worked thanks, though i still had to put the img code in, setting the width to 0 so the background image would display but the actual image wouldnt.

<div style="position:absolute; top: 58px; width:100%; height:699; background-image:url(images/bg-image-1.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center;" align="center"><img src="images/bg-image-1.jpg" width="0" height="699" /></div>

ok first off please look at the following images

http://monstermonsterstudios.com/clients/dropdesignstudio/Picture%207.png
http://monstermonsterstudios.com/clients/dropdesignstudio/Picture%208.png

What i want to do is if the window width is smaller than the width of the image i want it to keep going passed the left margin if that makes sense?

<div style="position:absolute; overflow:hidden; top: 58px; width:100%;" align="center"><img src="images/bg-image-1.jpg" width="1264" height="699" /></div>

Ok so heres the site: http://allegro1dancestudio.com/

Ive made an event calendar for that site which uses a flat-file database. The calendar part works fine, however, the code is able to make the file but will not write to it and therefore I dont know if i can even get event info from it.

And also once the cal_events.text file is made I do change the permissions so it is writable.

heres the calendar code

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Melbourne');

define("EVENT_FILE", "cal_events.text"); 

// Get values from query string 
$day = $_GET["day"]; 
$month = $_GET["month"]; 
$year = $_GET["year"]; 
$sel = $_GET["sel"]; 
$what = $_GET["what"]; 

if($day == "") 
$day = date("j"); 

if($month == "") 
$month = date("m"); 

if($year == "") 
$year = date("Y"); 

$currentTimeStamp = strtotime("$year-$month-$day"); 
$monthName = date("F", $currentTimeStamp);
$numDays = date("t", $currentTimeStamp); 
$counter = 0; 
$numEventsThisMonth = 0; 
$hasEvent = false; 
$todaysEvents = "";

$arrEvents = ReadEvents($month); 

function ReadEvents($Month) 
{ 
// We will get all of the events for this month into an associative 
// array and that array will then be returned 

$theEvents = array(); 
$eventCounter = 0; 

// Make sure that the file exists 
if(!file_exists($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/" . EVENT_FILE)) 
{ 
$fp = @fopen($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/" . EVENT_FILE, "w") 
or die("<span class='error'>ERROR: Couldn't create events file.</span>"); 
@fclose($fp); 
} 

$fp = @fopen($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/" . EVENT_FILE, "rb") 
or die("<span class='error'>ERROR: Couldn't open events file to read events.</span>"); 

while($data = fread($fp, 1024)) 
{ 
$events .= $data; 
} 

@fclose($fp); 

// Seperate the data into line-seperated arrays 
$arrEvents = explode("\r\n", $events); 

// …

Try adding this in at the start of the code. However, where it says "Australia/Melbourne" change that to your timezone.

Supported ones can be found here: http://au2.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Melbourne'); hope it helps

nvm i figured it out heres the code for anyone who wants to have a simple calendar.

im trying to set up a calendar using the code from the following site, however i have only got up to the code displayed below, which the site says it should show a calendar however im getting this error. I do however want to set up the whole calendar to use it with events and a flat-file database, so if anyone can maybe check out the site and tell me why it isnt working i'd appreciate it.

Btw its supposed to have the source code to download, but if you read the comments you will learn that its not there.

Hey thanks, yeah that was it. :)

Im not sure if this is a php problem or javascript, but since the actual photo gallery is run by javascript I'll post it here, sorry if its not though.

Everything works fine but when I click on another image to change the main image the caption wont change with it.

Thanks antwan that was the problem.

in the following piece of code the else part of my if/else statements doent seem to work it just adds nothing, thanks.

btw genre is a dropbox (and yes i have added the values) and genre2 is a text box, same with the filehost and filehost2.

$name      = $_POST['song'];
$artist    = $_POST['artist'];
$genre     = $_POST['genre'];
$genre2    = $_POST['genre2'];
$filehost  = $_POST['filehost'];
$filehost2 = $_POST['filehost2'];
$link      = $_POST['link'];

if($genre="other")
{$genre=$genre2;} 
else{$genre=$genre;}

if($filehost="other")
{$filehost=$filehost;} 
else{$filehost=$filehost;}


	$con = mysql_connect('localhost',$username,$password);
	@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
	$sql = "INSERT INTO `songs` VALUES ('','$name','$artist','$genre','$filehost','$link')";
	$query = mysql_query($sql) or die('Error: ' . mysql_error());

thaks heaps! :)

sorry for the double post but heres another code i've tried which seems to be more promising, but it seems to reject everything.

var emailFilter=/^.+@.+\..{2,3}$/;
if (!(emailFilter.test(document.submitform.email))) { 
   alert("Please enter a valid email address!"); return false;
}

thanks heaps it works perfectly now.

Well heres the code im using, can anyone either fix this code to make it work or suggest a better way of doing this, thanks.

function ValidateForm() {
  if (document.submitform.email.value=="") {
    alert("There is no email entered!"); return false;
  }
  
  if (document.submitform.email.value=="Enter your email...") {
    alert("Please enter an email!"); return false;
  }
  
  if (document.submitform.email.str.indexOf(".") > 2) {
  	alert("Please enter a valid email"); return false;
  }
  
  if (document.submitform.email.str.indexOf("@") > 0) {
  	alert("Please enter a valid email"); return false;
  }
  
  return true;
}

Can anyone tell me why this code isnt working?

<?php
	$username = 
	$password = 
	$database = 
	
	$email23 = $_POST['email'];

	$con = mysql_connect('localhost',$username,$password);
	@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
	$sql = "SELECT * FROM `user_user` WHERE `email` = '$email23'";
	$query = mysql_query($sql) or die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
	$r = mysql_fetch_row($query);
	
	$id = $r['id'];
	
	$sql2 = "DELETE FROM `user_user` WHERE `id` = '$id' ";
	$query = mysql_query($sql2) or die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
	
	$sql2 = "DELETE FROM `listuser` WHERE `userid` = '$id' ";
	$query = mysql_query($sql2) or die('Error: ' . mysql_error());

mysql_close();

ok lets make this a little simpler than my last topic.

I found this site which everyone who follows it seems to be getting results from, though it says "You are expected to be knowledgeable in the UNIX shell." which i have got no idea what that even is.

I tried to follow the instuctions as best as I could with no luck so could someone please explain that to me in simpler/noob terms.

Also i can not use .htaccess files so is there anyway i can do this without them?

Thanks,
Scottmandoo

btw im asking here because it also states "Support for these instructions is not available from DreamHost tech support."

Bump

^ don't know if your allowed to do that, but I really need help with this problem

My webhost currently allows for 2mb uploads via php (default settings).

Now I can not access the main php.ini file and .htaccess is not allowed on free accounts.

So what I wanted to know is am I able to set up a custom php.ini to change the upload settings.

I have found a few tutorials on how to do them but I really don't understand what I am doing so a little help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Scottmandoo

Edit: this is my php info http://slygraffix.com/info.php

Haha yeah I already changed that stuff, thanks again

Thanks Heaps, it works now.

Ok im getting 2 errors with that code

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /www/10gbfreehost.com/b/l/a/blastburners/htdocs/index.php on line 516

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /www/10gbfreehost.com/b/l/a/blastburners/htdocs/index.php:5) in /www/10gbfreehost.com/b/l/a/blastburners/htdocs/index.php on line 531

The first one is this $count_a = mysql_num_rows($result_a); The second one is this header('Location: index.php');

if (isset($_POST['submitbutton'])) {
	$id      = $_GET['edit'];
	$author  = $_POST['author'];
	$content = $_POST['content'];
	$today   = $_POST['today'];

	$sql = "UPDATE `blog` SET `author` = '" . $author . "', `content` = '" . $content . "', `today` = '" . $today . "' WHERE `id` = '" . $id . "'";
	$query = mysql_query($sql);
	header('Location: index.php');
}

Hey Helraizer, thanks for the codes though i'm having trouble implementing them into my code, above is the update code could you edit that to include your top code.

Thanks,
Scottmandoo

Oh and kkeith29 this isnt for my site this is for a friends site, though your idea would be good but i don't think im up for doing that much coding yet.

ok let ne see if I can make this as clear as I can.

At the moment the edit script is openly accessable by anyone I just want to make it secure again your average person unless thy know the password. For the sake of an example we will make the password scottmandoo.

As you can see on my last script ive added an extra field I want to make it so that of a person uses this script and enters the wrong password, anything other than scottmandoo, the update won't work but if they enter scottmandoo in this new field it will update.

Get me?

Anyway if you need anymore info just let me know.

Btw I dont want to get the password from anywhere though if it will make it any secure then I guess I could make another php file called password.php with $password = 'what ever password I choose'

a separate php file which I will call password.php also in this file could I set up maybe 10 usernames and passwords to go with them?

Thanks heaps it works great now.

I've been looking on the internet how to do php validations and I can't find exactly what i'm looking for.

What I want is if the user inserts the wrong password in the password field it doesnt submit/update. It shouldnt be hard for you to make this should it? anyway if you do could you write where I have to place the password like 'place password here' and also tell me where I have to put it.

Thanks again +1 rep. :)

ok the script now takes me to an edit page, but when I click Save instead of updating the content it deletes it, also it refreshes back to the edit page, can you make it load to index.php.

I have also made some edits to the script that I would like included. One of which is the onClick="javascript:SubmitForm();" which i've added to the save button, though this doesnt seem to work (it works for the actual input form) what it does is stop the form being sent if the any fields are wrong or the password is incorrect it tells you this in an alert, though for this form the alert pops up but the form isnt stopped from being sent, is there anyway you can make it work?

Yep that works now, thanks again :)

What are you doing btw ? $letter2 will have the first character of $letter. And, it works for me!

Just uploading some files :)

But when I upload a file starting with 3, it inserts $letter3 as 3 not the # symbol

sorry, just tried testing again and it doesnt make the numbers change to the # symbol

Thanks that works perfect!!!

ok what i want my code to do is

If $letter2 = a number 1, 2, 3 etc. it sets $letter3 to '#'
If $letter2 = a letter it sets $letter3 to $letter2 so it pretty much stays the same

is that what you wanted to know?

And what my code currently does is just set $letter3 to '#' for letters and numbers

Couls someone help me fix this code, I think I need to put in a function and a return but i'm not quite sure.
All the code does is return the value # for everything even letters

$letter       = ucfirst($_POST['tut_name']);
$letter2      = $letter{0};
 
    if($letter2 = 1) 
        { 
        $letter3 = '#';  
        } 
        else if ($letter2 = 2)   
            { 
            $letter3 = '#'; 
            } 
			else if ($letter2 = 3)   
            	{ 
            	$letter3 = '#'; 
            	}
				else if ($letter2 = 4)   
            		{ 
            		$letter3 = '#'; 
            		}
					else if ($letter2 = 5)   
            			{ 
            			$letter3 = '#'; 
            			}
						else if ($letter2 = 6)   
            				{ 
            				$letter3 = '#'; 
            				}
							else if ($letter2 = 7)   
            					{ 
            					$letter3 = '#'; 
            					}
								else if ($letter2 = 8)   
            						{ 
            						$letter3 = '#'; 
            						}
									else if ($letter2 = 9)   
            							{

Thanks a lot, I don't think I could ask anymore from you, though if theres anything I need help with i'll let you know, if thats fine with you, but until then I think this topic has been solved as all I can do now is just wait for my host to update the php.ini.

Thanks again,
Scottmandoo

Nah im not going to process it, unless you can edit my script to check for, which i highly doubt, that should be it.

Also i've been doing some research and just wanted to ask you is there a way I can use ftp in my script to upload the file so that I won't have to change those settings or will this process still require for those setting to be changed?

Are you saying that the total file size of all files in your hosting must not be higher than 8 MB? Boy that's not much :-) Try http://pipni.cz/

Yeah I know it sucks, but thats the only downfall of my host along with no .htaccess support for free accounts, it provides 10gb of storage, 20gb monthly bandwidth, no ads and heaps more. http://10gbfreehost.com

Also so what your saying is I only need the following editted?
upload_max_filesize 8M
post_max_size 8M
max_input_time 384

Sorry I havnt replied for a while, I've been on holidays for the weekend and just gut back.

My web server doesnt allow .htaccess files because...

htaccess eats a lot of server resources and this is why it is not allowed on our free plan.

So I have asked my web server admin if theres any chance of changing those settings in the php.ini with no reply as of yet. Though the web host on very new and is still constantly changing settings to help out its members so theres a high chance the settings will get changed.

What I want to know is, if the host asks what I want all these settings (upload_max_filesize, post_max_filesize, max_execution_time, max_input_time and memory_limit) changed to what should I say? Remember the max file size my host accepts for free accounts is currently 8mb.

Thanks it works now, just one more problem though, when I upload files over 2mb it doesnt work. I get the first error "Please choose a rom to upload!"

<?php

Also you may knowtice in this script it doesnt contain most of your advice, this is because when I tried it my page just loaded blank, unless I did it wrong let me know.

Also note I am able to upload …

Heres what I got...
