[PHP] How much should this cost Or ...
If anyone responds to this thanks a lot because this is a lot to ask. I've never coded anything for a paying customer. I'll be using Apache, MySQL and php of course. Or... how about this application already exists somewhere?? Requirements/Design --- 1. Any page requiring authentication should be in a secure directory. The login for the directory will be issued behind the scenes once the user is authenticated. This prevents anyone from by passing the login. 2. Once you login once for a session all other pages requiring authentication become accessible to you (i.e record login in a cookie). 2. If you do not yet have a username/password then you can click on register, where you enter the following: Name * Title Company * Address * Tel Fax Email * LicenseId * Username * Password * Confirm Password * * = required Username must be unique. LicenseId must exist in a table of currently active licenses maintained by KINESYS. 3. If registration is successful then the account is stored in the database and the user continues to the originally requested page. 4. On the login page there should be a "Forgotten password?" link. When you click it you have to enter your email address and if it exists in the database, the username and password is emailed to you. 5. Each login with date and time should be recorded in the database linked to the Username. Ideally each download should also be recorded. 6. The pages requiring authentication should be in a secure directory. The login for the directory will be issued behind the scenes. This prevents anyone from by passing the login. 7. There must be an administration page in the secure directory that allows KINESYS to maintain the list of LicenseIds in the License table, and to view the user and event tables. Here is my take on the initial database schema. Table: License Primary Key: LicenseId Table: User Primary key: UserId (autoincrement) Required Unique Field: UserName Required Field: Password Required Field: Name Field: Title Required Field: Company Required Field: Address1 Required Field: Address2 Required Field: Address3 Required Field: Address4 Field: Tel Field: Fax Required Field: Email Required Foreign Key: LicenseId Table: Event Primary Key: EventId (autoincrement) Required Field: Timestamp Required Foreign Key: UserId Required Field: Description (e.g. "Login", "Downloaded ALPS LT 2.61.1") -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Help correcting a form mailer problem...
Sorry I should clarify... checkboxes don't send their values through they
send their names and states... so if you have the array:
Name="qmev[1]"... name="qmev[2]"... name="qmev[3]"
And your array contains
[1] => on : [3] => on
1 and 3 are selected

Hi
If the checkbox exists in the array it is selected... if it isn't there it's
not selected

Sorry, I believe you are mistaken here... you *can* specify a value
for each checkbox and have it come through. I have written scripts
that do this, and here is another example:

all zedleon needs to do is add the correct value parameter to each
checkbox.

Subject: Re: [PHP] Truncate words in multiple paragraphs
Just do this:
$string = str_replace("\n", "", $string);
$string = trim_text($string);
$string = str_replace("", "\n", $string);
Actually could be any sequence of non-whitespace characters
unlikely to be in the text in the first place.

Hi :)
I am using the following function (that I found in the user
comments
on
php.net manual) for trimming the number of words accepted via a
form
field
// Truncation is by word limit, not character limit. So if you
limit
// to 255, then it will cut off a text item to 255 words, not 255
characters
function trim_text ($string, $truncation=250) {
$string = preg_split("/\s+/",$string,($truncation+1));
unset($string[(sizeof($string)-1)]);
return implode(' ',$string);

verdon:
I had the same problem and fixed it with this:
// remove all linefeeds and replace with new paragraph
$pattern = "\n";
$replace = "";
$des = eregi_replace($pattern, $replace, $des);
Then in your html, use:
Worked for me.

RE: [PHP] Regular expression
Ok I may actually have an answer here...
Gives:
hubble, bubble, toil and trouble
Accepts spaces before and/or after commas or neither... preserves spaces
Hope this one works (and that I've read the post right :-/)

$last_comma = strrpos($string, ",");

$last_comma);
I probably have a one-off error in there somewhere, or swapped the
order of args in strrpos, but you get the idea.

bell is his C program... :) Outputs an ascii 7 (bell) at the machine
where it runs. It basically outputs a character to stdout or stderr.
He probably has that machine next to his cash drawer...
