Use a database such as MySQL.

Steps:

1- Create a input page where they can add info and change profile styles etc.
2- Create the profile page and use posted variables to update the content
i.e.: profile.php?id=1001
and retrieve the info from the database for that user and print it in the profile page.

(So you've made 2 dynamic web pages and 1 database table)

Do the same process for the other pages.

I have to code php for a public service announcement that :
It is simply a form that has a place to enter your name and announcement. When you click the submit button, the application takes the form data and appends it to a text file. Each time you view the form page, before it presents the form it displays the contents of the file you were saving the data to. I am a beginner and in a hurry.

Array loop / string comparison help

Hi everyone,

I'm relatively new to PHP and am experiencing a problem trying to loop through multiple arrays whilst comparing strings during each iteration of the loop.

What I have is two arrays; one with a list of illegal file names and one with a list of filenames pulled from a scandir function. Although it doesnt work this is what im trying to do:

$illegalArray = array(".php", ".html", ".sql");
$filesArray = array("general", "connect.php, "_sql", "test.sql");

foreach ($filesArray AS $f) // Loop through the file names array
{
foreach (illegalFiles AS $i) // Loop through the illegal file names array
{
if (strstr($f, $i) // Check to see if the the string held in $f contains any of the text held in $i
print "illegal file";
else
print "valid file";
}
}

Hopefully that kind of makes sense. Basically I want to loop through the files array, check to see if the file name contains the string held in the illegal array. If it does then do something, if it doesnt, do something else.

I can get it working to the point where it outputs a list of the files that it shouldnt include (the illegal files) but I cant get it to output a list of files that it should include (from the $filesArray these would be the "general" and "_sql" file names).

If anyone can shed any light on what I am doing wrong here I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks for reading (sorry about the length)

What you had was fine, up until the point where you output the file each time it passed a validation check in the other array. eg. 'general' would output 'valid file' 3 times and 'connect.php' would output 'illegal file' once and then 'valid file' twice.

What you should wait for is for all the checks to be done before outputing a result. The following snippet should work fine.

$illegalArray = array(".php", ".html", ".sql");
$filesArray = array("general", "connect.php", "_sql", "test.sql");

foreach ($filesArray as $file)
{
	$is_safe = true;
	foreach ($illegalArray as $illegal)
	{
		if(strstr($file, $illegal))
			$is_safe = false;
	}
	if ($is_safe)
	{
		echo 'Valid File ('.$file.')<br />';
	}
	else
	{
		echo 'Illegal File ('.$file.')<br />';
	}
}

Outputs:

Valid File (general)
Illegal File (connect.php)
Valid File (_sql)
Illegal File (test.sql)

Go to php.net and check the release notes for all version of php between 4.4.4 and 5.2.0. In there you will find all the commands that have changed - and thus you should be able to find and fix your error. You should also get an error message that tells you what line is causing the error. that may help you in finding deprecated and removed commands.

1) First get a php & apache server running on your development machine like xampp[^]

2) Choose an editor. You can use notepad (if your using windows) but it doesn't colour the code for you, so it's hard to read. Good free alternatives are notepad++[^] and aptana studio[^]. If you don't mind parting with a bit of cash, Dreamweaver[^] is the don.

Then go through some tutorials like:
