Mod_Rewrite Problem

Hello,
I am currently having a problem with .htaccess. I am trying to use mod_rewrite to rewrite: http://www.example.com/test/test?word=test to http://www.example.com/test/test.php?word=test. The only problem is the GET vars can have different names. So another example url could be http://www.example.com/test/test?test=true&form=1 or even http://www.example.com/test/test?search=Google&type=Web etc. For this I wrote a simple PHP script called test.php that simply uses foreach to write all the GET variables to the screen. Then I used this .htaccess file to do the rewriting:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^test/?([.])?$ test.php/?$1 [L]

It should rewrite test?some+vars+here to test.php?some+vars+here but for some reason it doesn't. The test page is diplaying perfectly, but for some reason mod_rewrite won't rewrite the GET vars in. I am using Apache 2.2. Can some mod_rewrite expert help me. This is urgent!!!!
Thanks so Much!!!

Re: Need Help in doing reservation page for class project...:P

Here is what I suggest (Might Sound Complicated):
Create a SQL database with a table that has a seat name, number, and section, etc. and then a value if the seat is filled. Then have php create a table and fill the empty seats with a bgcolor of red (#FF0000). The empty seats will link to a reservation program that will edit the MySQL table. You might want to ask your teacher for help if this assignment seems hard. I can also help (but i can't provide code!!!). Good Luck :D

Re: A mailing list

You would probably want to use a MySQL table to store the emails. Then all you would have to do is write a php script that you can use to send email (Just make sure to password protect it for security!!).
PHPList is a pre-coded, easily customizable PHP mailing list application. Check it out on their website (Note to Mods: I'm not advertising this product as it's free. I'm simply providing a pre-coded resource that might be easier to understand/use).

Re: php validation help

Just a suggestion:
On line 17 I would not include the SQL query. While the chances of a bad person seeing this kind of information is unlikely, it adds some vulnerability to your site. Simply use this code:

$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("MySQL Error: ".mysql_error());

Re: count clicks for flash...

Well, I would start out by making a rectangle that is the same color as the background (Important: Make sure the shape's color has a transparency of 1%) to cover the whole stage with the rectangle tool. Next, convert the new rectangle to a shape (Make it a button). Then add AFLAX to the button that sends a message to a server page on a click.
Note: If that seems too complicated you may also try another method I though of (I'm not sure if it works!!). Add the parameter border=0 to the Flash Element and then surround the whole object in <a href='javascript:void(0);' onclick='sendMessage()'> ... </a> . Then simply, using regular AJAX, write a javascript function that calls the server page and call it 'sendMessage()'.
Good Luck!!

Re: Banners, Headers, & Titles of website: How to share it among all the pages?

If you don't have scripting abilities you may consider an external Javascript file. Take this example:
header.js:

function header()
{
document.write("MySite <a href='index.html'>Home</a> <a href='about.html'>About</a> etc. "); //Put the header code here
//Note when placing the header code, make sure you replace " (Double Quotes) with /" (Slash and then Double Quote). Ex. /"I have a dream/"
}

For the pages you want the header:
Simply put this between the <head> and </head> tags:

<script type='text/javascript' src='header.js'></script>

And place this where you want the header:

<script type='text/javascript'>
header();
</script>

I would reccomend the PHP, since it is server side (and not executed on the client's browser) if possible. Here's an example:
header.php (Place your header's code in here):

MySite <a href='index.html'>Home</a> <a href='about.html'>About</a> etc. <!-- This is just a sample. Replace this line with your code -->

For a page that you want to put the header simply type:

<?php include('header.php'); ?>

Just make sure PHP is enabled.
Best of Luck,

Re: count clicks for flash...

Try AFLAX. It is an AJAX for Flash. You can use some ActionScript to call an AFLAX command to send a message to a Server Page (I prefer PHP, but you can use anything that you are comfortable with) which processes the request and updates the record in a file or MySQL table. If you have any more questions please post them here or PM me!
Good Luck! :)

PHP $POST and Input Order

Hello,
I have a question about PHP. I realized that you can use the POST variable to get data from a form submitted with the type post, but does the order of the fields matter. Example:

index.html:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Form</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM name='test' action='submit.php' method='post'>
Name: <INPUT type='text' name='name' /><br />
Programming Language <INPUT type='text' name='lang' /><br />
<INPUT type='submit' value='submit' />
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Here's the code for submit.php:

<?php
//This code works
echo $_POST['name'];
echo "<br />"
echo $_POST['lang'];

//But if I flip the two, it doesn't.
echo $_POST['lang'];
echo "<br />"
echo $_POST['name'];
?>

My question is: Why does flipping the two POST vars make this code not work? If there is a way (besides of course writing it as the values are ordered, which will be hard since I am not sure what order the form's elements will be in) to get by this? Thanks Everyone for your great help!!!

Cleaning Up After Vista Transformation Pack

Hello,
I installed the Vista Transformation pack a few weeks ago and I have decided to remove it and replace it with a nicer looking theme that Lifehacker wrote about. I restored my computer back to before the installation, but for some reason there are still parks of the pack left. I now realized that it was a bad idea to install the pack in the first place, but I need a way to completely restore my computer. Here are some of the major issues:

My Start Button is Not Wide Enough to show the text 'Start'
When Deleting, Copying, etc. a file the Vista File Operation Animation Comes Up (And Does not match my new theme at all)
When Browsing My Documents Windows Explorer has a Vista Like Circle Wait Animation up in the Right-hand corner (This might involve Some Explorer Tweaks! I know!)
All of my icons are now Vista Icons

And there are other little bits of the transformation pack that are still here that I would like to rid of. I realize I made a horrible mistake and please do not lecture me on my mistake. I understand now with the look of XP. If anyone has a solution to one of my specific problems or if you have a way of completely getting rid of the Transformation Pack please post it, your help is greatly appreciated! (I am also very good about giving people who reply reputation points!!!)

Text, Textboxes, and One BIG Mess

Hello,
I am creating a feature for a site, that when you click a button changes specified text to a textbox that lets you edit the text. When the user presses enter, the textbox will dissapear and the text typed will be in it's place. This is so I don't have to a PHP script a bunch of times. The Javascript uses AJAX to submit that data and the page doesn't refresh. My problem is with the second step. The text will change to the textbox, but the onKeyPress teg is not displaying right. It should look like this:

onKeyUp="SDcheck(event, 'test', this)"

Yet it actually looks like this:

onKeyUp="SDcheck(event, " value=test")"

Here is my code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function EditBox(box, box2)
{
	var textP = document.getElementById(box);
	var text = textP.innerHTML;
	textP.innerHTML = "<input type=\'text\' value=\'"+text+"\' id=\'"+box2+"B\' onKeyPress=\'SDcheck(event,\'"+box2+"\',this)\' />"
	document.getElementById(box+'B').focus();
}
function SDcheck(even, id, element)
{
	var characterCode;
	if(e && e.which){
		e = e;
		characterCode = e.which;
	}
	else{
		e = event;
		characterCode = e.keyCode;
	}
	if(characterCode == 13){
		var text = element.value;
		document.getElementById(id).innerHTML = text;
		return false;
	}
	else{
		return true
	}				
}
</script>
<span id="test">Test</span> <a href="javascript:EditBox('test');">Edit</a>

Please Help me correct this problem!!!
Thanks!!

Re: Adding Advanced Ranking Surveys

No, but I would start off with a basic HTML form like such:

<form name='example' action='submit.php' method='post'>
How would you rate the following? Select 1-5 for each.<br/>
HTML: <select name='HTML'>
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
</select><br/>
JavaScript: <select name='JS'>
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
</select><br/>
PHP: <select name='PHP'>
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
</select><br/>
ASP: <select name='ASP'>
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
</select><br/>
</form>

Once you have that, go to W3Schools and learn some JavaScript to validate the users selections. Then you can write a PHP (I recommend it) file to tally the selections and place them in a MySQL Table for result viewing.

Protecting a PHP File

Hello Everyone,
I have a little problem with my PHP script. I have created a very detailed system using PHP and wish to upload it to a computer running XAMPP on my network. Because the file will be uploaded to a normal computer all of my PHP files will be accessible to anyone with the password to this computer. There are certain people that have access to this computer that would be nosy and want to look at/modify my code. Anyway, long story short, I would like a way to password protect the file when trying to acess it directly from the host computer, but still allow users on the network to use the file (ie. View the home page the PHP produces). I realize that this sounds really paranoid, but the server is not physically in my house so I have no way of knowing who accesses the computer (A few do on a regular basis). If you know of a way to do this, please post.
Thanks so much everyone!!!

Re: where to begin

I would suggest first learning CSS. It has become a web standard for styling HTML text, images, etc. Once you have a very good understanding of CSS (It's pretty important to know it!!!), I would suggest going on to JavaScript. If you are creating forms you will want to have code to validate the fields before the server is sent the request. Lots of other elements require JavaScript such as FAQ's with Show/Hide Toggle Buttons, Fading Effects, and other tasks that can be accomplished from the user's browser.
After you have a very good understanding of the basics (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript), then you can go on to a more advanced server-side language such as PHP. I am mainly a PHP programmer so I would definitely suggest PHP. It has easy access to SQL databases which you will find very useful from user accounts to creating a simple polling script. All of the server side languages are great it just depends on what you want to get accomplished and what the capacity of your server is. Whatever your decision, I would recommend W3Schools as a great source for learning these languages.
Since server-side languages aren't interpreted with the user's browser, you will need a server to practice with server-side code. Instead of getting free hosting somewhere and having to upload the file every time you save, you can get XAMPP. It is a server that runs on your personal computer and supports Apache (HTML) …

Amazon uses a system that has a product name with spaces replaced with dashes and then a number (Probably the product number). Example of a Amazon URL:

Re: Rewrite advice: What is the best solution to this problem?

Well I would suggest giving each product a category (that has a cat number) and then within each category, give each product number (id). Then the address would be something like: products.php?cat=5&id=1
With that you could also use it to browse each category with one PHP script.
Ex.
products.php?cat=5

Try looking at some popular shopping sites such as Amazon and see how they do it. It's always best to learn from the Pro's!!!

Re: How to display online users

Well, I'm not expert with PHP, but I would suggest creating an SQL table called onlineUsers or somthing like that. Then when users login a PHP script adds them to the table. When they logout, simply remove them from the list.

Something like:

<?php
//Log the user in
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password");
mysql_query("INSERT INTO onlineUsers (username) VALUE ('$username')") //Assuming the user's username is stored in $username
?>

And on Logout:

<?php
//Clear Cookies, etc.
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password");
mysql_query("DELETE FROM onlineUsers WHERE username = '$username'") //Assuming the user's username is stored in $username
?>
