[PHP] writing to mysql using php
Hi, I'm relatively new to PHP and mySQL. I currently have a simple table created within a MySQL database. And I have a php script that connects to the database, presents a form for the user to fill in, and then writes that record to the table. Instead... is it possible, to write to multiple records at once using a tabular view rather than one record at a time with a columnar view ?

[PHP] Refresing a PHP page! which is called from a
Hi, I have a index.html file, which creates a HTML login page - which is a simple allowing a user to enter their username and password into 2 seperate fields. The action is to call another php script for processing, i.e. . Now, I can understand why it brings up a pop-up-box with the message : "The page cannot be refreshed without resending the information. Click retry to send the information again, or click Cancel to return to the page that you were trying to view." while the browser is on the index.php script (with the form). But why does it bring up the same message when the page is refreshed after login.php has been processed ?? If I run login.php independantly (wihout calling it from the in index.php) then it displays some the text, and refreshes without popping up the message box above. All login.php does is display some text, at the moment it doesn't do any checking on the user input. Thanks for any help!

[PHP] checking status of a HTML checkbox
Hi,
If I pass a (using POST) from one php script to another, which
contains the following HTML checkbox:
I know that the input will only be passed if the checkbox is ticked... but
how do I check if the checkbox was ticked and the value has actually been
passed ?
At the moment I am doing this:
if ( $_POST["insurance"] == "yes" )
{
}
But is there a more "accurate" way of checking the exsistence of "insurance"
?
Many Thanks,
Shams

[PHP] $header = "Location:........" being ignored!
Hi Group,
I basically have some simple code such as:
==
if ( $_POST['passwd'] != $db['password']
{header("Location: loginfailed.html");
}
//else
$header = "Location: success.html";
==
however, when I run this code, using a to submit password, username,
etc.. if the passwords do not match, the page is forwarded to
success.html !
Is there anything obvious that I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Shams
p.s. I don't want to use else{} because I have lots of if() checks!

[PHP] restricting acces to files
Hi, i've written a secure PHP login script which will allow users to login to a directory such as this: smezone.com/members/index.php however, how do I restrict people from accessing HTML files in that directory (which they can easily do so by typing the URL into their browser), such as: smezone.com/members/document1.html ? Since its a regular HTML files (and we have lots), I can't check whether the user has a valid session as I would do in a PHP file. Thanks for any help!

Re: [PHP] restricting access to files using PHP
Ooops, I didn't mean to post my question a number of times! Just that my message didn't appear (in Outlook Express), so I reposted it. Thanks to everyone who replied. I'd rather not convert .HTML files to .PHP files because there are other files in the members area that I also wish to protect (.DOC and .PDF files). I'm interested in your solution David, what is the format of the external auth script that you use.. is there some kind of return you have to give .htaccess ? Also, is there no way I can allow a user to login using a PHP login script, and then pass the "username" and "password" over to .htaccess to verify ? Thanks for the help, Shams "David T-G" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... You've seen the suggestions from others to change your .html files. You may or may not want to do that. If you don't want to do that, then you need a .htaccess file. You don't necessarily, however, need a .htpasswd file as well; just make your php script the authenticator: AuthName AccessYourDirectory AuthType Basic AuthExternal /path/to/your/script order allow,deny allow from all require valid-user This is untested code, but you get the idea. You may have to define your external auth script with some name and then call it; our version of this uses NickName instead of /path/to/your/script and in the httpd.conf file we have AddExternalAuth NickName "/path/to/script" SetExternalAuthMethod NickName pipe and I dunno if 1) adding and nicknaming is necessary or 2) you can do it in a .htaccess file instead of having to put it in the http.conf file.

[PHP] is "http://username:password@localhost.com/secure_area/" secure ?
Hi, I have a PHP login scripts that takes the "username" and "password" and stores it in a session. Once verified as a valid user against a mySQL database, the user is redirected to a members area ( "/secure_area" ), using: http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/secure_area/ This is so that .htaccess (which is in "/secure_area" won't pop up its own "login/password" box). However, i am having a couple of problems, first, once the user is redirected to the /secure_area folder, EVERY link on that page (and onwards) is prefixed with http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED].. for everyone to see !!! and thus the password has been exposed. How can I stop it displaying the username and password ? And also, is this a secure way of logging in? (it is the only way I can figure out how to do it, so that PHP logs u in and passes username and password to .htaccess quietly). Many Thanks for any help!
