[PHP] Preventing automated account creation
Hi, I have been investigating ways of preventing automated account creation on the e-commerce system I am currently working on. Obviously I have seen the graphical solutions to this problem, a small image containing several letters and numbers which must be typed in by the user to confirm account creation. However, this (it seems to me) is a bit overkill for what is a pretty small client, I'm not entirely sure it's a good use of time to create this script solely for them, does anyone know of anything pre-packaged? Furthermore is it really worth doing this, what risks do automated account creation present to an e-commerce site? Tom Williams, Digital Data
RE: [PHP] what do you guys use for reporting?
For reporting what? - hi guys, I sent an earlier post but no answers, so I just want you to list the software you use to do reporting and then i can go through the answers and see if any are applicable. Also comment on the good and bad things/recommendations and ones you would not recommend. thanks in advance -- Angelo Zanetti Z Logic www.zlogic.co.za [c] +27 72 441 3355 [t] +27 21 469 1052 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] No Database Connection possible (mySQL)
Hi all,
I am having problems with a connection to a mysql database.
I am using
function con()
{
mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("tava") or die(mysql_error());
}
Now, when I call the _function_ (!)
con() or die("no con");
I get the "no con" output.
When I call the mysql_connect and mysql_select directly before executing a
query, I get some DB output. But that won't work when I am using the
function...
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
Chris
