You MUST call the return function in order to escape from the loop (or
use a break statement as above), as Jonathan pointed out.
As for the === comparison, I don't believe there is an problem, as will
ALWAYS return a string.

If you're looking for the file extension, use pathinfo() instead. To
actually answer your question, have you tried using print_r() to get the
contents of the array?

Hello,
I was just wondering how to update data to database from html text field.
I have a form that retrieves data from dbase and put's values into text
field in a web page. I want to be able to modify data and then save it dbase
by hitting save button (also form object).
ie.
$sql="SELECT col1 FROM table WHERE id = 1";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$var = $row["col1"];
echo "";
echo "";
echo "";
Anyone know what is the proper way to do this?
-Kalle
You need to capture the values passed by the form in the script
referenced in the form action attribute, using the relevant superglobal
referenced in the form method attribute (e.g. $_GET or $_POST).
Using your example, you would access the "name" form element like so:
$_POST['name']
Then you should use this variable in an UPDATE or INSERT statement and
send that to your database server, e.g.:
mysql_query("UPDATE table SET col1 = " . $_POST['name'] . " WHERE id = "
. $_POST['id'] . " LIMIT 1");
I would suggest reading the PHP manual a little more carefully, in
particular those sections regarding variable and form handling, as well
as the section on MySQL.

David

3. Loop through the array, and apply the following reg. exp.:

I am wanting one field on a table in one of my MYSQL databases to contain different dates and times as a epoch timestamps.
You're better off storing as a DATETIME field -- it has limits from
1000-01-01 to -12-31, instead of 1970 to 2037..
Firstly how do I convert a particular time and date which the user will enter on the website into the epoch timestamp.
You need to use mktime() if you are getting the individual time segments
(e.g. hour, minute, date, month).
And secondly, how do I convert it back once taken of the table. I'd like to use the date function to print out this particular date and time- for example $a = date('g:IA l, jS F, Y') so that $a could say '7:30PM Saturday, 23rd August, 2003' Does date only work by outputting the current date or time? Can you get it to output the format of any date and time you would like?
The date() function accepts a second parameter, which is a UNIX
timestamp of your choice.
Regards,
David

preg_match ( '(foo)' , $_POST["num1"] ); <- That works fine. but I need to check multiple fields.
I thought I would build an array with the POST data like this...
$num = array ($_POST["num1"],
($_POST["num2"]); There are more than that...
and then use
preg_match ('(foo)', $num) ; $num should point to my array, but that doesnt work. I get a warning message.. and it doesnt check the first num1 in the array.

If you wanted to do that, I'd recommend adding some sort of probability
factor into it, so not all scripts have to run the function.
e.g. 1% chance of cleaning up the database.

"x" wouldn't display because it depends on $_GET['item'] being set,
which isn't. Try var_dump($_SESSION) instead of the conditional echoing
of the variables.

Re: [PHP] preg_slipt
There is an error in this code. It should in fact read:
$a = split("\r\n", chunk_split('1234567890', 2), 5);
OR
$a = split("\n", chunk_split('1234567890', 2, "\n"), 5);

For a start, try this instead:

$last = end($lines);
Secondly, do you have an example of the real log file?

Re: [PHP] when to enter submitted in mysql?
Personally, I'd keep it all in the session and write at the end, but this approach has at least two drawbacks: 1. The user cannot complete the process at a later point. 2.

Replace the middle (.*) with ([^<]*). This tells the regex engine to

Re: [PHP] Unnecessary if statement? Programming technique
Hi,
I imagine this kind of thing is not especially taxing on the processor,
especially if the condition is a fairly simple comparison. That said, I
have very little understanding aside from my own limited experience of
what runs slowly!
If you're worried about code maintenance, then move the code out to a
function and pass the parts that vary as parameters.
Cheers,
David Grant

Re: [PHP] Call to undefined function mysql_real_escape_string()]
Is there no way to specify the database functions in Joomla? You're getting undefined function because you haven't compiled it with mysql, but mysqli instead, which means the functions you need are prefixed with mysqli instead of mysql.

Re: [PHP] Problem: Distortion while saving text file.
Could it be the other way around, i.e. Windows is stripping slashes, and
Linux is not? How does $contents come to exist in the script?

A timestamp is the time in seconds (since Jan 1 1970), so you can ascertain the age in seconds by subtracting the stored timestamp from the current timestamp. You can find the current timestamp in MySQL using the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() function. Once you have the age of the record, finding 72 hours is fairly trivial - 72 hours is 259200 seconds (72hrs * 60mins * 60secs).
