gj bro!

are you useing

PHP Code:


		
			
$ip = getnv($REMOTE_ADDR);

PHP Code:


		
			
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

?

oh yeah...classes classes classes. PHP classes are amazingly nice...I'm using it for all mysql Queries

PHP Code:


		
			


class Queries {

     var $hi;

     var $bye;

     function shoot($hi,$bye){

         uh ...

 }

}

yeah yeah classes are hard and your going why is he posting this... but trust me... they'll make your coding go a lot quicker

(When i say classes i don't mean like a teacher and school or something i mean actually coding)...

ohh yah I remember classes from the good old C++ days.

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

whats the difference?

that is awesome...that helps when you want to ban someone from your site.

There really isn't any... just 2 ways of doing the same thing.

Personally, I always use the $_SERVER[] method, for $_GET, $_POST, etc.

And from what I just read, getenv() (Elite, pls note the correct function name ;) ) really shouldn't be used. I just read a comment that getenv() doesn't work on IIS (Microsoft's webserver).

IcI

seeings how mainly sites are run on linux it works if your coding for your self (Ici ... it's been a while since i used the function so i forgot okay!, :p) ... :P

lol.

But still, wouldn't it be better to code some things, when possible so that they can work no matter what the system? ;)

Any ways, doesn't really matter.

IcI

my link database..

hey i finnished codeing a link database but it does not seem to work proberly....

please look over my code i have checked and checked it...

PHP Code:


		
			
<html><head><title>Add Your Link</title></head>

<body>

<?php



$self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

$nn = $_POST['nn'];

$url = $_POST['url'];

$lname = $_POST['lname'];

$sc = $_POST['sc'];

?>

<form action="<?php echo( $self ) ; ?>" method= "post">

Your Nick Name: <input type="text" name="nn" size="25">

<BR>

Your Websites Catagory: 

  <select size="1" name="sc">

  <option>Please Select</option>

  <option>Delta Force Xtreme Resource</option>

  <option>Joint Operations Escalation Resource</option>

  <option>Joint Operations Resource</option>

<input type="submit" value="Submit Your Link"> </form>

<BR>



<?php



if( $nn and $url and $lname and $sc ) # makeing sure fields are filled in

{ # connecting to Mysql

$conn=@mysql_connect( "localhost", "My user name", "My Password" ) or die( "err:conn" );



#selecting Database



$rs = @mysql_select_db( "linkdb", $conn ) or die( "err:conn" );



#create the query



$sql="insert into links (NN, sc, LName, URL) values ( $NN, \"$sc\", \"$LName\", \"$url\" )";



#execute the query



$rs = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );



#confirm the added link



if($rs){ echo( "The Link $lname was Added To the $sc Database!" ); }

}



?>



</body></html>

see this page

HERE

For the forum action, change it from

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php echo( $self ) ; ?>

PHP Code:


		
			
<?= $self; ?>

(I didn't try submitting the data to a database, but I was able to have the script echo back the selected results making that change.)

IcI

does not work for me :(

this is updateed code:

PHP Code:


		
			
 <html><head><title>Add Your Link</title></head>

<body>

<?php



$self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

$nn = $_POST['nn'];

if($rs){ echo( "The Link $lname was Added To the $sc Database!" ); }

}



?>



</body></html>

PS.

i also tried it exactly the way you did it that did not work either..

<?=$value?> will only work one some php settings.. so it's best to use <?Echo($value);?>.. but for your problem I think it's the mysql query.. I made alot of notes to atholon in another thread please read that.. it can be found here. http://www.novahq.net/forum/showthre...threadid=26098

I added an IF statment

PHP Code:


		
			
if (isset($_POST['submit']))

so that the data handling stuff doesn't take place unless data is actually being submitted.

When i ran this, every thing worked, except for the mysql part due to the fact I didn't want to set up a test table . I just commented it out and put echo statements to tell me what was happening.

Try this:

(again, I didn't test to see if the database part worked)

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

  echo "<html><head><title>Add Your Link</title></head> 

<body>";





$self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; 

$nn = $_POST['nn']; 

$url = $_POST['url']; 

$lname = $_POST['lname']; 

$sc = $_POST['sc']; 



echo '<form action="'.$self.'" method="post"> 

Your Nick Name: <input type="text" name="nn" size="25"> 

<BR> 

Your Websites Catagory: 

  <select size="1" name="sc"> 

  <option>Please Select</option> 

  <option>Delta Force Xtreme Resource</option> 

  <option>Joint Operations Escalation Resource</option> 

  <option>Joint Operations Resource</option> 

  <option>Delta Force Xtreme Squad</option> 

  <option>Joint Operations Escalation Squad</option> 

  <option>Joint Operations Squad</option> 

  </select> 

<BR>

<BR> 

<input type="submit" value="Submit Your Link" name="submit"> </form> 

<BR>';



//Check to see if data is being submitted:

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

    

if( $nn and $url  and $lname  and $sc 

0# makeing sure fields are filled in 

{ 

# connecting to Mysql 



$conn=@mysql_connect( "localhost", "my username", "my password" ) or die( "err:conn" );

 else

}

}

echo "</body></html>";
