If a database solution isn't desired, check out the parse_ini_file()
function. You can create a simple INI file containing the necessary
mappings and, instead of having to touch the code every time you need to
update a record, you simply modify the INI file.

Another solution would be to use Joshua's suggestion but instead of
managing the array in the PHP file using that array, throw the array in
a separate PHP file and simply require_once() it.

Of course, these solutions assume that the PHP script reading the INI
file or including the PHP that contains the array has the appropriate
file permissions to do so.

Just my two cents :)

explode() takes three parameters; string, string, [int]. Where [int] is
optional.

Ex:
$ipList = '192.168.1.0,192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2';
$ipList = explode(',',$ipList);

Returns an array of strings:

Array
(
[0] => 192.168.1.0,
[1] => 192.168.1.1,
[2] => 192.168.1.2
);

Your browser is more than likely filling in the username and password
fields for you, automatically. Most modern browsers offer this
functionality by default. What you're looking for isn't relative to PHP.

Have you tried visiting your page from multiple browsers, to see if you
get the same results?

You could set the value of the username and password fields in the form
to NULL.

e.g.;



I doubt your visitors are going to encounter the same issue you are,
unless they allow their browser or some other 3rd party software to
automatically fill in the form values for them.

Another method would consist of using JavaScript, once the DOM is ready
(all elements rendered), have JavaScript reset the form values.

Why would you use this method to for authentication or validation? By
default, $_REQUEST is populated with the $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE
contents, which could potentially be modified by the remote user, which
in turns makes the data not trustworthy.

Never trust input data, ever, it must be sanitized, scrubbed, etc before
even considering it trustworthy - in my opinion.

As for your question, it makes complete sense to populate $_REQUEST with
$_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE contents by default because the three call in
the REQUEST category for the HTTP protocol. Since the cookie was sent by
the server, the COOKIE header is going to be evident in the REQUEST headers.

Therefore, the only way a bug is going to be introduced and security
breached is by the author of the code ;)

http://us.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.request.php

The PHP team even makes mention that the contents of $_REQUEST cannot be
trusted.

I'm not familiar with MAC, however, there are projects out there that
provide everything you need, for the most part. Look up XAMPP, I used to
use this in the past before I setup my own personal server.

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-macosx.html

This should provide you with an environment necessary for development
and production. I currently run Arch Linux on my personal server and
have installed Apache, PHP, MySQL and so on via the package manager. For
my dev/prod process, I'm using Boilerplate, which provides a default
HTML5/CSS3 template. However, the nice thing about it is, they've also
provided a small build process using ANT. I've modified the ANT build
script to my needs and simply build my production environment using
that, keeping my dev code in tact and readable :) They've integrated the
YUI Compressor into their build process is simply minifies all CSS and
JavaScript.

Anyway, enough about that, just an example of what can be done. There's
always the option of compiling everything from source as well :)

This issue isn't related to PHP but the cause of the error is due to the
scripts' inability to make a connection to the database. The error looks
like it's coming from WordPress, I could be wrong but if that's the case
then you need to update the wp-config.php file to reflect the proper
credentials to log into the database.
