    PHP crypt question

    If you used the PHP Crypt function with blowfish and crypt tomtomtom and used tom as the salt you would end up with an output like this. $2x$07$tom$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.qav3KhZehVp8voo3h2F5ENKt3315qJW If you were to save this to the database to use in authentication wouldn't it show at the beginning what you used for creation and display the Salt? The $2x for blowfish and tom salt are right there. Wouldn’t this be a security problem? Wouldn’t knowing the salt help a potential brute force hack attempt if they got your database information? I’m just curious why this is set up this way, I’m new to the whole cryptography thing. Thank you to anyone who can help clear this up for me. I hope everyone is having a good day.
  2. Thank you very much! After reading your resources I figured out that all I had to do is replace the "#" a reserved symbol with "_" a non reserved symbol and had the problem fixed in 10 minutes. Now it works perfectly. Thank you for the explanation. I will continue to read through the resources so I can get a better understanding. Thank you justsomeguy for your explanation as well. I have the problem under control now. I will continue to try and learn as much as I can.
  3. Thank you for your response. I have completed several AJAX calls. There are many within the code I posted and they all work. The problem is that the information is not arriving at the PHP in Firefox and Chrome whole. Only up to the first special character. After that its gone. It works perfectly in IE. I have looked through the whole AJAX section. I have seen where it tells you how to send data with POST. The problem is that there is not an example anywhere of how to receive and use that POST data anywhere. At least not that I have seen. //get the q parameter from URL$q=$_GET["q"];is what I'm currently doing. The problem is this will not send special characters over Firefox or Chrome. Or at least I cannot get it to. this it would seem, has special characters and I think might fix the problem. What I dont really understand is the middle line and how to use it. The example does not really explain what the stuff means, just that it is header: specifies the header namevalue: specifies the header value xmlhttp.open("POST","ajax_test.asp",true);xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");xmlhttp.send("fname=Henry&lname=Ford"); Could someone maybe explain in more simple terms how one would use this? especially the middle line? Edit:I suppose the easiest way I can ask my question is this How can I send data like this1#20-2#10-3#20with an AJAX call one Firefox or Chrome since $_GET does not appear to work. thank you again and sorry I'm having trouble articulating my question.
  4. So I'm having trouble with cross browser compatibility. It involves primarily AJAX and since there is not a forum section for that I could see I'm posting here. But I figure it should work anyway since it involves browser, php, JavaScript and AJAX. I have included all the code except the .nav and css. I don't think they are really necessary. This code works perfectly in IE. The problem is Firefox and Crome. I can see that the core of the issue is my AJAX call. When the variable arrives and is placed in the $minlist variable in IE it contains all the compiled information that it is supposed to. It would look something like this 1#20-2#10-3#20. As you can see in the code that string is then broken up using the explode function and processed. When the variable $minlist is gotten ($minlist = $_GET["var3"]) it would only contain "1" in Chrome. The same issue is occurring in Firefox so I think it is just having the same problem Chrome is. Everything from the # sign and past is gone. I assume this is the problem. I know that GET has issues with special characters and POST can fix this. But I have not gotten POST to work yet. I just don't know how to get it to work right. I saw an example in the AJAX section on Send a request to a server that showed this xmlhttp.send("fname=Henry&lname=Ford"); as a way of sending post data. I tried this but I could not get it to work. I could not find an example of how to receive the information at the .php file. I tried xmlhttp.send("varpost=" senddata);in the original file and ($minlist = $_POST["varpost "]in the .php file but that did not work at all. I don't understand everything about AJAX so I know I'm missing something important here. I have read everything I can find and tried everything I can think of and have yet to find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  5. I'm still trying to create my own web game. It has been a dream of mine since I was a kid to have my own multi player game. I have messed with a few but the one I'm working on now I think I will be able to finish and implement on me and my wife's web site. It's in my signature although it's still very much "in development"

    Flash CS6?

    You do not need flash to do that. It can be done using a JavaScript time event. Check it out here: http://www.w3schools...s/js_timing.asp
  7. Thanks again. I did what you say and it worked. I did have to do some extra stuff but that is because there were some specifics about my code that where causing problems. But I managed to figure out how to fix that part on my own (I had to set up an if statement that ran one line of code based on browser) and now it works just the way I want. Thank you for your help I have been working on this issue for quite awhile now.
  8. Thank you I'm trying to get this to work but I'm still having trouble. I brought up W3schools try it editor for the onsubmit event handler and replaced the code in the java script function with return false. At first it seems to work, if you type in something and press enter nothing happens. but then if you type in a second time and press enter the program runs like it's supposed to because it is actually still loading the page. If you type in a fake web address for the action it brings up a 404 error Because again it is still reloading the page. <html><head><script type="text/javascript">function greeting(){return false;}</script></head><body>What is your name?<br /><form name="frm1" action="tryjsref_form_onsubmit.htm" onsubmit="greeting()"><input type="text" name="fname" /><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></form></body></html> Here is the edited code for the try it yourself example. It does still reload the page. I'm sure your right so am I doing something wrong? I think I understand what you are saying I'm just not executing it right. thank you again for your help sorry I don't quite understand yet.
  9. In internet explorer when you have an input type submit, even if there is no form tag, the browser will automatically select the first submit and if you press the enter key it will activate that submit even if you input data to one or more text fields first. This is the desired result I'm looking for. The problem I'm running into is that Firefox and Chrome don't do this. They will automatically select the submit if you place it in a Form tag. But then even if I do not give it an Action it will just reload the page. I can't have it reloading the page it messes up the program. I tried setting a focus to the submit but as soon as you select the text field to enter data the submit loses focus. So what I'm looking for is a way to have a submit button activated in Firefox and Chrome with a press of the enter key, that will not perform an action like reloading the page. The submit has a function call that I want to activate. Is there maybe a way of having a form not perform any action at all? I looked up action in the form section and could not find a reference to doing that. Or have the form do the function call instead of a URL? Any assistance is as always greatly appreciated, than you all again.
  10. I'm not that good of a web designer myself but here is my 3 cents. The bright blue and bright yellow are a little hard on the eyes. I would recommend lightning up the colors just a little so they are not so shocking/hard to stare at. You have to be carful using load colors. When the web page is downsized all the content gets jumbled up. I would recommend using the HTML Table to fix the layout of the site. That way you can lock in where certain elements appear and they will not get moved around when the window size changes. Well there you go. Hope it helps a little bit.

    Thank you

    This is in reference to the general discussion subtitle "discuss W3Schools.com". I really just wanted to say thanks to everyone for helping me so much. I find it amazing that at this forum there are so many people with a professional level of knowledge on an advanced subject matter like programming that take time out of their day to come here and answer questions from armatures like me. I hope that someday I will have the knowledge base to start answering questions myself like so many others do. I have read threw a great deal of the W3Schools site and have purchased several books on programming, but sometimes you run into a problem that you just can't seem to find the answer too. Getting professional advice here for free is invaluable and I wanted to say that it is appreciated. I start school next month perusing a degree in Computer Science. I'm an army veteran and will be going to school using the GI bill. I hope that getting my degree will expand my own knowledge and allow me to ask less questions of the kind folks here at the forum and maybe even eventually start answering some myself. It has always been a dream of mine to design games. I started my own game company but have had little success up to now (being in the military was a major pause in my efforts but well worth it). I was especially interested in Table Top Role Playing games and online multi player games. My company will be releasing its first Table Top game hopefully in the next couple of months and now with much help and advice from the W3Schools forum I'm working on my dream of having my own online game, maybe even several eventually. So in conclusion I would like to say thank you for all the help. End Rant
  12. Thank you both very much for your responses. This is exactly what I was looking for.
  13. Greetings What I want to do is have a table of data on a web page. The amount of data in the table can change but I want there to be a max height to the table so if the size of the table gets to long it will use scroll bars instead of actually making the table larger.So basically I want to make a table that has a MAX height but can present any amount of information. I tried to find a way of doing this with CSS and could not find a max height option. I found the Iframe HTML tag and that seems like it will do what I want but my question is, is that the best way or is there a better way? Thank you very much to anyone who takes time to answer my question. I hope everyone is having a good day.
