It is accurate. There is no need to stripslashes for data coming back out
of the database, normally. The slashes are used to escape special
characters (such as the single quote) in query strings, but those slashes
don't actually go inside the database. In other words if you have:
INSERT INTO table VALUES ('Mike\'s query')
...the data is entered as:
Mike's query
The slash is never actually put inside. So when you retrieve the data, it
comes out as "Mike's query".
Now this is all true assuming you don't have "magic_quotes_runtime" turned
on in your PHP.INI. While "magic_quotes_gpc" automatically escapes data
that is a result of a GET, POST, or cookies, "magic_quotes_runtime" escapes
ANY external data, INCLUDING data you get from databases. In that case,
you would need to manually use stripslashes() on data that you want to display.
Another possibility is that you have a program designed for a
"magic_quotes_gpc" setting of 0, and you have it set to 1. The program is
manually escaping the strings already, and then the server is doing it
again a SECOND time. In such an environment you'd end up getting something
like:
INSERT INTO table VALUES ('Mike\\\'s query')
...and the data WOULD be entered as:
Mike\'s query
This is just my opinion only, but it was exactly issues like these that
caused me to turn OFF magic_quotes_gpc. In my opinion this setting causes
more headaches than it's worth. I wish that php.ini-dist didn't have it
enabled by default. I suppose that's what I get for not using
php.ini-optimized.
The problem with shutting this setting off is that some scripts require
it. The biggest example of this is phpMyAdmin. In this case what I do is
create an .htaccess file that sets the option selectively for certain
directories. The contents are like:
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on
This requires that your AllowOverride directive to be set to "Options" in
your httpd.conf.
I wouldn't know how to acheive this same per-directory configuration on a
machine running IIS. Maybe an IIS/PHP guru reading this can chime in.

Thanks... I think that's my problem (having BOTH gpc and runtime turned

I one of my sites does an online league for Madden football game.
The Story of the problem:
When a user reports a game that is played, the winner reports the game by
choosing his name from a drop down selection box and also choses the loser
from the selection box, he enters his password and the game is reported.
The Problem
The problem is that abusers of the site will report games that they have not
played and screws up the stats of the players that he supposedly played
against.
Now, the ultimate solution would be to have a way where when the winner
reports the game it should also be authenticated by the loser as well. So
you would have two people reporting in order for the game to be actually
recorded in the database.
I am asking You All Knowing Ones what would be a solution to this and how
would I implement it?
here is the site
http://madden.williamsen.net
I disabled the report feature because of the abuse, now they have to go
through me and I have to manually do it

This is probably what I'd do. Create a "pending" table that stores
reported games that have not been verified. When a user reports a game,
they choose another user as the loser and then a record is written into the
pending table, and an email is sent to the loser informing him that he has
a pending game to verify. Create an interface that allows people to view
games pending verification. From there a user that was reported as the
loser can verify a pending game by entering their password. Once this is
done, the pending item is moved into the verified games.
Setup a timed job to notify you of pending games that are older than a
certain number of days, so you can see what the holdup is and delete them
out if necessary.

I thought about that, but the problem is, what happens when the time expires
and the loser doesn't report?

Since there is a ranking system, and if the game doesn't get reported by the
loser, should it be that the winner automatically gets the win?

That's really a design/functionality question, not a PHP one, but
nevertheless I see two ways to deal with this. If a game is still pending
after a predetermined amount of time, either:
(1) Manually intervene by contacting both the winner and loser and see what
the hold-up is.
or
(2) Establish a rule that if a loser fails to either contest a reported
game or verify it within the required time frame it will automatically be
verified.
Which way you go really depends on how many games are reported and how much
free time you have. Option 1 puts the responsibility on your shoulders and
option 2 puts it on the shoulders of your players. Just depends on what
philosophy you take when designing the system.

But that's what makes it fun. :)
It sounds to me that you already had some code and functionality in place
before you took it down due to the abuse problems. If this is the case
then it shouldn't be terribly difficult to modify/expand it to include the
functionality we have been discussing. If you have specific questions or
have some code to post I'll throw around my ideas, for whatever they're
worth (I'm far from an expert).

A system like you want is implemented at www.clanbase.com, a site that
records the games played on net, games like Counter-Strike or Quake3. So, I
will tell you in a short note how the sistem works there:
1. A clan/team/group/whatever (named challenger) challenges another
clan (named challenged)
2. "Challenger" edits the properties of the game
3. The game is moved to both "challenged's" pending table and
"challenger's" pending table
4. "Challenged" reviews the game and it has several options: accept,
decline, modify
If accept go to 5
If decline go to 10
If modify "Challenger" becomes "Challenged" and vice-versa then
go to 2.
5. "Challenged" accepted the challenge from "Challenger" and we have a
game ready to be played
6. The game is played and its ready to receive the results
7. The parties enter the result
If they are the same go to 9
If they are different go to 8
If no one entered a result wait then go to 7.
If only one clan entered a result wait 4 days for the other team
If 4 days have passed
If the other team entered no results then they lose
If the other team entered a result then go to 7.
8. Match conflict settled down by:
Both parties: go to 7.
Supervisor: go to 9
9. Game is validated, the result is saved and the rank are tuned
10. Clear the pending tables
11. Stop
It is a good system and it is working (I play there since february 2000).

Hi,
I would like to ask, what variables are submitted from a form with say...
options 2 and 4 selected?
<select name='what' multiple size=4>
<option value='1'>1
<option value='2'>2
<option value='3'>3
<option value='4'>4
<option value='5'>5
</select>
Thank you very much in advance.

I am not 100% certain, but I believe that it would set
$what as an array, with $what[0] as '2', and $what[1]
as '4.'

I'm trying to open and use a COM connection, as
follows:
$com = new COM("WinampCOM.Application");
Seems this does not work in PHP, although it works in
many other applications. The module, and its source,
is available from:
http://www.adcock8.freeserve.co.uk/winamp.htm
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Obviously not ;-)
...since you cannot get it to work you must have left out some poswsible
combination that will work - right?.

To instantiate a session you should only have to do a session_start() at the
beginning of a page.
To register a session variable you use the session_register('my_var') - after
your session_start() line.
To use registered session variables on a page you have to do a session_start()
before any variables can be used (i.e. on every page).
To end a session you first have to issue a start_session(), possible a cleanup
(as one prevoios poster suggested) of the variables and then a
session_destroy().
The session_start() line must be issued before any HTML output/echo/header line
in the code!.

It's simple.
It should be simple.
this is the code that i am currently using on an dev-intranet-logout
(logout.php) page:
<?php
// Destroy the current session
$refpage = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_REFERER'];
session_start();
session_destroy();
?>
<center>
You have logged off the intranet.
<BR>
<a href="<?PHP echo "$refpage"; ?>">Go back</a>
</center>
As another poster put it: "works like a charm".
If you still have a problem making it work - is there any possibility that it is
caused by some PHP.INI settings?
+++
I'm a newbie myself - so don't flame me if anything in the above is false -
instead write a note to this discussion group and correct me.
I don't know a thing about .Net - but if you want it simple i believe that PHP
(still) is your right choice.

Hi, i am a not-a-total-newbie myself - so here comes nothing...
See if you get the same result (errors) when you use the local computer's
real IP address or the localhost IP "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost" in
your mysql_connect().
Don't ask me if this solve it, but try - it might help.
