Hi all, I have a php file to check a users input and it seems pretty straight-forward as far as logic goes, but the variable seems to be concatenating the "badEntry" onto its return value. I've been over it and over it and can't seem to see what's wrong. I originally had $userInput as the only return variable, but when I started having trouble I added the $toReturn variable to hopefully make it clear what I was doing wrong. Didn't help. I enter 'sakde12345' and I get that back with 'BadEntry' concatenated to it - looks like this - sakde12345BadEntry. My callback function is supposed to see if the return value is equal to 'BadEntry' and of course it isn't because it somehow includes the original input in front of it. It's returning this for either 'good' or 'bad' input. Can anyone figure out how I've miscoded or what? I also had a question about the debugger in chrome when I was running the js that called this php in the xmlhttprequest. The debugger traced thru everthing OK, but when it came to the 'onreadystatechange', it went to the 'xhr.open' line, jumped back to the onreadystatechange ( which became 1) but then it jumped to the requestheader line, then the .send line, then it jumped back to the js function that called the xhr request, then it jumped all the way back to the button in html that submitted the input. That kind of surprised me to see that - is the program just gathering information to proceed or something like that? I know it's kind of a weird question, but I'd like to understand what is going on. Thanx for any help, and I appreciate your patience!!! <?php $toReturn = ""; $userInput = ""; $chars = []; $i = 0; if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){ $userInput = $_POST["userID"]; // Get variable passed to xmlhttp call $userInput = test_input($userInput); // Run it thru easy data cleaner $userInput = strtolower($userInput); // change all to lower case $toReturn = $userInput; $chars = str_split($userInput); // split input into single characters if (strlen($userInput) != 10) { // is the input exactly 10 chars long $toReturn = "BadEntry"; } else { if (substr($userInput,0,3) != "sak") { // are the 1st 3 letters 'sak' $toReturn = "BadEntry"; } else { if (is_not_Char($chars[3]) || is_not_Char($chars[4])) { // are the 4th & 5th chars letters - name initials $toReturn = "BadEntry"; } else { for ($i = 5; $i < 10; $i++){ if (is_not_Numb($chars[$i])) { // are the last 5 chars Numbers $toReturn = "BadEntry"; } } } } } } echo $toReturn; function is_not_Char($examp){ $charBool = false; if ($examp < chr(97) || $examp > chr(122)) { // is it a lowercase letter - ascii 97 - 122 $charBool = true; } echo $charBool; } function is_not_Numb($examp){ $charBool = false; if ($examp < chr(48) || $examp > chr(57)) { // is it a number - ascii 48 - 57 ( 0 - 9 ) $charBool = true; } echo $charBool; } function test_input($data) { // standard data cleansing tools $data = trim($data); $data = stripslashes($data); $data = htmlspecialchars($data); echo $data; } ?>

Hi, I am working on a website that users can log into from one page and administrate their users from another. first page is index.php and second is admin.php. on the index page I have a form to login with that calls out to a stand alone .php script called "checklogin.php" here is the code... <?php ob_start(); $host=; // Host name $username=; // Mysql username $password="; // Mysql password $db_name="; // Database name $tbl_name="; // Table name // Connect to server and select databse. mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); // Define $login and $pass $login=$_POST['login']; $pass=$_POST['pass']; // To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection) $login = stripslashes($login); $pass = stripslashes($pass); $login = mysql_real_escape_string($login); $pass = mysql_real_escape_string($pass); $sql="SELECT * FROM Registration WHERE login='$login' and pass='$pass'"; $result=mysql_query($sql); // Mysql_num_row is counting table row $count=mysql_num_rows($result); // If result matched $login and $pass, table row must be 1 row if($count==1){ session_register("login"); session_register("pass"); header("location:Admin.php"); } else { echo "<script language='javascript'> alert('Sorry, but you must login to view the members area!') </script> <script> window.location='index.php' </script>"; } ob_end_flush(); ?> my admin page has this script on it as a redirect... <?php session_start(); if(!session_is_registered(login)){ header("admin.php"); } ?> my question is...how can I echo out user specific data with this code onto the admin page in a div? since the code is living outside the admin page, I cant figure out how to do it...any help, thanks!

Here is my code: The code fails at line 36: $txt = substr($mtcontent, 0, strpos($mtcontent, "</title>")+7); <!DOCTYPE HTML><html><head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> body { margin:20px; padding:0; background-color:#0000FF; color:#FFFF00; } </style></head><body><h3>/* make a copy of the file to parse for assurance */</h3><br><?php copy("C:UsersownerDesktopPLUcodes.htm", "C:UsersownerDesktopworkfile.htm"); if(!file_exists("C:UsersownerDesktopworkfile.htm")) { die("File not found"); } else { echo "got copy"; }?><br><h3>/* get a file handel for the workfile */</h3><br><?php $myfile = fopen("C:UsersownerDesktopworkfile.htm", "r") or die("Unable to open file!");?><h3>/* copy content of workfile into a var, $mtcontent, for parsing */</h3><br><?php $mtcontent = fread($myfile,filesize("C:UsersownerDesktopworkfile.htm"));?><h3>/* we don't need the file workfile.htm open anymore, so close it using the file handel for that file */</h3><br><?php fclose($myfile);?><h3>/* get the content of our string from the first byte up to the closing title tag */</h3><br><h3>/* well put it in a varable called $txt */</h3><br><?php $txt = substr($mtcontent, 0, strpos($mtcontent, "</title>")+7); echo $txt;?><h3>/* then add the string litteral <head><body> to the end of our string */</h3><br><h3>/* have to use the HTML code for the grater and less than symbols, else won't work */</h3><br><?php $txt .= '<head><body>'?><h3>/* lets see what we have */<h3><br><?php echo $txt;?></body></html> I have tried using strpos($mtcontent, "<⁄title>") instead of strpos($mtcontent, "</title>") But that causes the page to render strangely wrong. At the end of the page, I want to echo the variable txt, but it appears to be empty.

Hi folks! I have been using relatively clean and simple PHP contact forms for quite some time now. They fit my needs and are easy to work with. However, after submitting the message, it takes me to a gray screen with the nothing but text I programmed it to echo. It isn't an error or bug, but it's an ugly redirect and does not look professional. I would like to learn how to work with this in one of two ways: either submit the message without leaving the contact page, or add a redirect of some sort. This is the contact.php file I use. If anyone has input on how to do this, it'd be greatly appreciated!! <?phpfunction spamcheck($field) { //filter_var() sanitizes the e-mail //address using FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL $field=filter_var($field, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL); //filter_var() validates the e-mail //address using FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL if(filter_var($field, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { return TRUE; } else { return FALSE; } }if (isset($_REQUEST['email'])) {//if "email" is filled out, proceed //check if the email address is invalid $mailcheck = spamcheck($_REQUEST['email']); if ($mailcheck==FALSE) { echo "Invalid input. Please enter a valid email address."; } else {//send email $name = $_POST['name'] ; $email = $_POST['email'] ; $message = $_POST['message'] ; $totalmessage = " Name: $name n Details: $message n"; mail("email@email.com", "Email: $email", $totalmessage, "From: $email" ); echo "Thank you for contacting me. I'll get back with you ASAP."; } }else { //if "email" is not filled out, display the form?> <form method="post" action="contact.php"> <div class="row half"> <div class="6u"><input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name" /></div> <div class="6u"><input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" /></div> </div> <div class="row half"> <div class="12u"><textarea name="message" placeholder="Message" rows="6"></textarea></div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="12u"> <ul class="actions"> <li><input type="submit" value="Send Message" name="submit" /></li> </ul> </div> </div> </form><?php}?>
