[PHP] date() is hours behind
Hi all,
I currently use:
date("l jS F Y, g:i A");
To format the current date/time to my personal preference.
However, at 12:19 AM on my machine, date("l jS F Y, g:i A"); shows 4:19PM...
8 hours slow :(
Any ideas on how to correct this? Am I right in saying that there is a
timezone problem?
Any ideas appreciated.

OK, using the putenv code you posted, I now have:
Which displays:
Wednesday 1st October 2003, 1:19 AM, BST
The time and date is correct (thankgod!) but how comes the time zone is BST
(?) and not GMT?

[PHP] Re: method to prevent multiple logons of same account
"Chris W. Parker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi. Ok I've got the logging in of customer accounts settled but what I need to work into the system is that of preventing more than one instance of the same account. If I logon right now as testuser1 on ComputerA and then go to ComputerB and login as testuser1 it'll work just fine. What I want to do is one of the following: (a) prevent the second instance of testuser1 from succeeding, (b) logoff the first instance of testuser1 when the second instance authenticates. I know I'll have to keep a database and store the following: username (or user id), session id, time of login, and/or time of last action. Option A is very easy. I can easily look in the database and see if that person is already logged in. If they are found in the db I just refuse the second login attempt. Option B on the other hand seems a little more difficult. As far as I've thought it out so far I'll have to check the db on each page request to see if the user is still valid. That is to say, if the second attempt is allowed to login I would have to change the users session id from the first instance to the second instance. Then when the first instance goes to a new page the application would say "Hey wait a minute buddy! Your session id is different than the one in the database. You've either timed out or someone else has logged in with the same username." Am I thinking this through correctly? Comments? Chris. I created a Members script a while ago and to prevent multiple logins with the same username/password combination, I had a column called logged_in inside the members table which would be marked '1' when the user was logged in and '0' when the user logged out. When any user attempts to login, it checks that the logged_in column is first marked as '0'. I personally don't see anything wrong with the above method. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Wrapping code inside [code]xxx[/code] tags.
Hi all, I have on my site a part where users' can submit articles and no doubt their articles will contain code. Code is wrapped inside of [code] tags, i.e. [code][/code] However, there is other text in the same article, so I need to format the code inside of the [code] and [/code] tags using htmlspecialchars, nl2br and highlight_file and the rest of the code needs to be formatted with nl2br, strip_tags and possibly stripslashes/wordwrap. A typical example: --- Count number of rows inside of MySQL table [code] [/code] Save the above code into a file called count.php --- The code inside of the [code] and [/code] tags needs htmlspecialchars, nl2br, highlight_file and the outside text needs nl2br, strip_tags, stripslashes/wordwrap. Sorry for being repetitive, but just need to make sure I make sense! Any ideas appreciated -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] .htaccess - Still asking for login information although already sent through address bar

Just a quick update. To ensure that invalid login info was not being sent, I copied the text that was in the address bar after submitting the login form, closed down IE, pasted in the text and it went straight in without any login boxes appearing ?!!?

Sure,
This is the code for the login form: (login_form.html)
Control Panel Login
Domain Name:
Username:
Password:
This is the code for the login processor file: (login_process.php)
Error:One or more form fields have been left
blank.";
echo "Please use your browsers' back button and fill in all form
fields.";
exit;
}
else {
$redirect_url = "https://"; . $username . ":" . $password . "@" . $domain .
":2083/frontend/x/index.html";
header("Location: $redirect_url");
exit;
}
}
else {
header("Location: login_form.html");
exit;
}
?>
I know that there is no username/password validation code inside the
login_process.php file, but this is not my priority at the moment.

[PHP] Search for an exact string inside of another string
Hi all,
I have a little problem that I hope you can help me with.
I have the following strings:
$str1 = "Bob";
$str2 = "My Name Is Bob";
How can I get PHP to look for $str1 inside of $str2?
Also, what about if "Bob" inside of $str2 is in different places?
I would like something like:
if ($str1 IS INSIDE OF $str2) {
echo "str1 is inside of str2";
}
else {
echo "could not find str1 inside of str2";
}
Any ideas appreciated.
