There are plenty IDE's and editors out there. You have already said Netbeans. You can also take a look at (1) Notepad++, (2) Aptana, (3) Microsoft Expressions Web, (4) Adobe DreamWeaver, (5) Eclipse. This list is not exhaustive. With the exception of (3) and (4) in my list, the others are free to download and use.

Do you know where the email actually resides? Is this a linux system or a Windows system? I know for Linux, there are several open source webmail projects, my favorite is Roundcube. If you have your mind set on actually writing it yourself, (again, assuming a Linux server), you would need to be able to parse the mbox files where postfix (I'm assuming you are using postfix) stores email at (/var/spool/mail). I've never done that, but I know you'll need to make sure your web browser (apache?) has permissions to read those files...

Does that help?

I have an admin page which user MUST enter user id and password to get in. The login.php is working fine, it's accepting correct user id and password and rejecting incorrect user id or password but the admin index.pho is not working properly..! it's accepting direct navigation even and not redirecting to the login.php

could you please help..

here is my index.php

PHP

<?php
     if (isset($_SESSION["status"]) && $_SESSION["status"] != true)
     {
        header('Location:login.php');
     }
?>

and this is my login.php:

PHP

<?php
    session_start();

    error_reporting(E_ALL);

    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $password = $_POST['password'];

    $conn = mysql_connect('mysql.jassimrahma.com', 'jassimxxx', 'xxxxxxx');
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM website_admin WHERE website_admin_user_name = '$username' and website_admin_password = '$password'";
    mysql_select_db("jassimrahma", $conn) or die(mysql_error());
    $result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
    $count = mysql_num_rows($result);

    if($count == 1)
    {
        // session_regenerate_id();
        $db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
        $_SESSION['status'] = true;
        $_SESSION['full_name'] = $db_field['website_admin_full_name'];
        header("location:index.php");
    }
    else
    {
        header("location:login.php");
    }
?>

Re: login page is not working

Graham Breach11-Dec-11 22:25

Your index page is checking if the session variable status has been set, and then redirecting only if it has been set to false (or anything except true to be precise).

If that is the whole of your index.php file then the status will never be true, because you haven't called session_start().

More importantly, $_SESSION["status"] will not be set even if you have been through the login page, so it won't even get to the $_SESSION["status"] != true condition.

If you had not successfully gone through the login page, status would not be set even if you had started the session.

More importantly, $_SESSION["status"] will not be set even if you have been through the login page, so it won't even get to the $_SESSION["status"] != true condition.

why?

so let me see if I understood..

I changed to this but still the same result:

PHP

<?php
	session_start();
	
	if (isset($_SESSION["status"]) && $_SESSION["status"] != true)
	{
		header('Location:login.php');
	}
?>

You are setting the status to true if the user logs in successfully.

If the user does not log in, then $_SESSION['status'] is not being set to anything.

You should redirect to the login page whenever $_SESSION['status'] is not set - and unless you have a page somewhere else that sets it to anything other than true, you don't even need to check what its value is.

Is there Dictionary Object in PHP

Hi guys;

I wish to store KeyValuePair collection as I do in C# or VB.NET. Is there a way to achieve this in PHP and how?

Thanks for your cordial supports.

Re: Is there Dictionary Object in PHP

Graham Breach11-Dec-11 8:28

Graham Breach

You can do that using an array:

<?php
$dict = array('a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'z' => 0);
$dict['c'] = 5;
$dict['a more complex value'] = array('X' => 'OK');

foreach($dict as $key => $value)
  echo "$key : $value<br />\n";

I have this date in mysql datetime field:

2011-12-10 18:27:51

I am using this code in php to display it:

PHP

$created_date = mysql_result($result, $i ,"created_date");
		
echo date("d/m/Y", $created_date);

but the result is wrong! here is the result:

31/12/1969

how can I fix it please?

If a function doesn't do what you expect it to, you should go back and read the manual. The second argument to the date function should be an integer timestamp, but you are giving it a string.

You can get an integer timestamp from your string using the strtotime function[^].

Have you tried

<?php echo date_format($date, 'd-m-Y H:i:s'); ?>

2nd arguement requires a unix timestamp. Take a look at date() and mktime() functions in the manual.

If your dat coming from the db is a datetime stamp you may want to use strtotime() to convert it into the unix timestamp needed for the 2nd date arg.

This is not a PHP problem, it's a CSS style issue. Try setting the height of the and tags to 100% and 'absolutely' position the outer table (or better still, replace it with a div)

That should solve the problem...
