Hi, Does anyone know if it's possible to post to a page without using a form? For example, if I want to pass a variable to another page without using a cookie, is there a way to pass it using post? Thank you, Phil

When there is no rDNS record on an IP address, then it might take a while for the reverse lookup to timeout. I'm thinking of how on a tracert you can observe the delay. If so, then calling gethostbyaddr() can delay the serving of the web page, right? Because gethostbyaddr() is not forked into a separate process. So I suppose I'd need to...

Two inter-related questions: If I'm in PHP page a.php, and I want to switch control to page b.php, the only mechanism I've come across is to use header('Location: someURL") ; This has two drawbacks - it seems inefficient to me - you essentially have to "bounce" a request/response off the browser to switch between PHP pages - leaving and...

I know that its impossible to completely prevent somebody from ripping a site (or cracking software) if that person has the skills and the time/patience, but there are tricks that can be employed in software which slow crackers down, from things like self-decrypting code to anti-debug tricks, and most people have a breaking point - if you can...

I just wanted to get some advice. I've had a few years experience in web site design and server-side programming and am fairly confident in my skills. There is a local Credit Union wanting to add a few features to their site (bill pay, transfer money between banks) and I am interested in the job. However, I've never worked for a bank...

I want my server to send a 404 header if a URL with a query string is requested. So if a browser or spider requests something like www. my_site .com?p=chair they would get a 404... But if they request www. my_site .com/chair.htm everything would be normal.

Hi there, I have a mySQL system with a news publishing part in it: Admins can create new items with text in it, and they have an option to create 'fulltexts', so you'd get "read more ..." on the front page, click it and read the fulltext. Is there a possibility for mySQL (query) to check if 'fulltext' is empty or not, and only return...

Hi all, There's lots of DB abstraction layers out there, but a quick look around them hasn't turned up anything which seems to met my requirements. Before I go off and write one I thought I'd ask here if anyone knows of such a beast... I want some code where I present an array of data, and the corresponding primary key and let the code...

Hello, I was wondering if there are a few good pages and/or examples on how to process form data correctly for putting it in a MySQL DB. Since I'm not used to using PHP a lot, I already found out that addslashes() can be used escape some characters, but I'm having some more problems with for instance ä, å and µ (since the text is...

Hi all, I've written a login/logout code. It does what it's supposed to do but the problem is when I logout and press browser's back button (in Firefox), I get to the last login page. In IE, when I press back button, I get to the page that says "Page has Expired" but Firefox does not do this. I think it's something to do with sessions...

Hi I am having a problem with session vars being propagated between pages on this site: http://www.meettheancestors.com/sessiontest/index.php If you enter any user id and password and click Log In (no actual validation is performed), and then move around the other pages and/or keep refreshing the pages it will eventually display something...

I have some code that loads up some php/html files and does a few things to them and ultimately returns an html file with some php code in it. I then pass that file onto the user by using echo. Of course then the file doesn't get seen by the user. Is there any command that essentially executes the code and then echo's it? something that...

Hello friends, I am trying to find something that must exist. I am in Thailand right now and Internet is not very available in the place I'm staying. Is there a program that can emulate a server, apache, mysql without me having to set up a server on my laptop. I would imagine it to be like an archive where I just import the files I want...

Hello I've been googling for a couple of hours, but still haven't found what I need: - really simple PHP-based image gallery software. Ideally, just a single file that I just drop into a directory filled with JPG files - uses eg.
