An even better way is this
//process the surname, add slashes
$surname = addslashes($_GET['surname']);
//make the query
$sqlquery = "SELECT firstname, surname FROM employees WHERE surname =
'$surname'";
This makes sure that if there is signs like " or ', they will be escaped ;-)

Forgot one other thing that improves it even more:
//process the surname, add slashes
$surname = addslashes($_GET['surname']);
//make the query
$sqlquery = "SELECT firstname, surname FROM employees WHERE surname LIKE
'%$surname%'";
You can add these percent signs( % ), in case you want to ensure that we get
results where the surname in the db is somewhat the same as the search
input.
If for example the surname in the database is "neill", and the user using
the search types "neil", then the extra %-signs will ensure that you find
this entry.

Hi Robert
I understood that you would like to do a login doing the HTTP AUTH method.
Here are some scripts:
Script 1: login:
To next file";
}else{
//if incorrect, resend headers
header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Leksjon 11\"");
header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
exit;
}
}
?>
Script 2: go_on.php :
I had not anymore time to write more comments, but i hope it was helpfull.

The problem in your code is that your function does'nt have a return
statement.
That means that $abc will contain nothing after
$abc = randomline('text.txt');
Here is the code that will work:
$i) {
$abc = randomline('text.txt');
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "$abc", "$abc", "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]");
$i++;
}
?>

Extremely odd what's happening here :s
I just doesn't make sense why the if condition should do this...
Maybe you could search in the PHP Manual for more info on this.
However, i did one thing that made that not work.
EA is Equal To NFH see $EA";
}else{
echo "EA is NOT EQUAL to NFH see $EA";
}
?>
Here I use the strict comparison operator, and it writes out the last
sentence.

[PHP] Re: generating arrays using $_REQUEST/$_GET/$_POST
Hi Tristan
It seems wierd to me that $math would be an array even after that you have
named all your form fields to $math.
Well, what you can do otherwise that is a very known method is naming your
fields name[].
In your case this would be math[].
If you name many of your fields this way, $_GET['math'] will be an array
with auto-filled indexes.
Example:
---submit.html---
Number 1:
Number 2:
Number 3:
---
Now let's say you enter 1 in field 1, 2 in field 2 and 3 in field 3.
Now let's send the data to receiver.php
---
---receiver.php---
$value as $math){
echo "$key => $value";
?>
--
This would output:
1 => 1
2 => 2
3 => 3
---
This method can also be very useful with selects, naming the select "name[]"
Then you when you submit, name[] will become an array where the selected
indexes are given in the array.
Hope you found this helpful

Hei Trevor I have got exactly the same problem, and there doesn't seem to be any solution to it... What you could to, is to send a mail to Zend and ask them to implement a feature that will allow us Zend Studio users to customize this. Eric "Trevor Gryffyn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] First, let me apologize for this not being a specific PHP question, but I can't find the answer and I'm hoping someone else here has run into this. Maybe I'm just blind, blond or stupid today. :) In Zend Studio (Zend Development Environment) for Windows (on Windows 2000 fyi), when I hit the ESC key, it hides my "Messages", "Debug" and "Output" windows. This might be nice sometimes, but I find myself hitting ESC (sometimes for no rational reason) and it's driving me nuts that it hides the three windows I WANT to see and not the "File Manager" window, which I really don't use that much currently. Hah Is there somewhere to customize this or is there another key that brings them back quickly? I prefer keyboard use to mouse use and would prefer not to have these windows disappear in the first place, but if it were a matter of hitting ESC to temporarily hide and hitting ESC again to bring them back, that'd be acceptable.

I am. There may be a problem with include_once, something about where it's placed and so on... But anyway I would advise you to not generally rely on include_once() or require_once(). These are just meant to protect you from making an error, but you should check to see that you don't use include_once() on the same file many times. It's bad practice to include one file several times. One tip i would give you, is to set up one file, something like "define_classes.inc.php", which is responsable for including the classes and defining them. In this way you can just include define_classes.inc.php in the scripts where you need classes, and your work will be a lot more structured. I personally use this system on my web-site, and it does that i don't have to be worried about if I am getting the correct classes, because I get them all through define_classes.inc.php Eric -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi Sajid
It seems like the Country in some manner has to be a undercategory for the
continent, and the club a undercategory for the Country.
A way you could do this, is to set up the tables like this:
DG1:
Continent_Id | Continent_Name | Continent_Image | Continent_Text
DG2: Country_Id | Continent_Id | Country_Name | Country_Image | Country_Text
DG3: Club_Id | Country_Id | Club_Name | Club_Image | Club_Text | Club_Url
The id fields should be datatype INT, name and Url something like
varchar(100), the text tinytext, and the images BLOB.
What you could do is when the user first comes you run this query: "SELECT
Continent_Id, Continent_Name FROM DG1". If you want to grab the text too you
could just add Continent_Text in the query. To get the image, I would
recommend some kind of file that gets the Content_Id and, gets the image,
and prints it out.
Now, when you display all of your continents(up to you), you should make
them a link to the same file, but now giving a Continent_Id to the the file.
Now, let's simulate someone clicked Europa, and that has a Continent_Id of
4.
Then we go to the following file: foo.php?op=continent&id=4.
Here we can run this query: "SELECT Continent_Name, Country_Id, Country_Name
FROM DG2 WHERE Continent_Id = {$_GET['id']}".
What we simply get here, is all the countries that are in the continent
Europa, with the id 4 in DG1.
Now we get the list, and you display that too.
What you can do now, is too display links to the next step: showing the
clubs.
Let's say we want to take a look at France, and that country has 9 as a
Country_Id.
Now let's say we're at the following file: foo.php?op=clubs&id=9
Now we can run the following query: "SELECT Club_Id, Club_Name, Club_Url
FROM DG3 WHERE Country_Id = {$_GET['id']}".
Here we get all the clubs in France.
I hope this was something helpful.
Would be glad too demonstrate how to get the Country name and the Continent
name while showing the club, but i think you're albe to sort this out now!
Eric

Headers have to be pretty accurate, or it will cause trouble.
And your redirect header is not quite correct.
It should be this:
header("Location: another_page.php");
and NOT header("Location:another_page.php");
What you need here is a space between "Location:" and the URL.

[PHP] Problem - Running PHP with different groups (Safe hosting enviroment)
Dear PHP-list, Me and a small group of developers are thinking about making a Norwegian free hosting service. This service features PHP, MySQL and a lot of different services. Everything we have sat up is ready - Cpanel handles making the most. When a user is registered, we call by HTTP the Cpanel admin panel, setting up a subdomain, making a FTP Account, making a mail adresses and making a folder. All this works fine - but there is one serious hinch. How are we supposed to stop people from including each others files??? We have a structure somewhat similiar to this one: /home/cu/[USER_ACCOUNT]/. Then, a script in /home/cu/test1/, is fully capable of doing file operations with the f* functions at /home/cu/test2, and has practically full access. We know how to make a group, and making a user for that particular group. Now what we think we're supposed to do, is that the folder made when registrered, is "owned" by this usergroup, and the chmod rights are set to group read, write and execute, and nothing else. But how are we supposed to make a folder being owned by a group, and how can we run php so that it will run under a special group and not being able to open other folders? We know a little about UNIX, but not that much. That's our problem. Would be really happy if anyone could help us out!
