Retrieveing Info Passed From Html
i have a flash banner on a page that when clicked sends the browser to another page. This banner is linked to a php file that counts the amount of clicks on the banner. In the html page for the flash banner I have: Code:
<embed src="swfs/banner1.swf?clicktag=forms/tracking/bannertrace.php&clickheader=http://www.somewebsite.com" width="570" height="80" align="middle">
in my php file I have: PHP Code:
<?php
$traceFile = "banner/clicktrace.txt";
$clickURL = $_GET(clickheader);
$fh = fopen($traceFile, 'r'); $theData = fread($fh, filesize($traceFile));
fclose($fh);$fw = fopen($traceFile, 'w');
$theData = $theData+1; fwrite($fw, $theData);
However the clickheader variable that contains the URL does not get passed to the php file.

Hitting Back, Form Info Not Passed On
I have a form that will retrieve information from a database based on variables passed in a link. Order=17 would pass on the order number which is used to connect to a MySQL database. Now, if I hit back on a browser after opening one form page up already and click on a new link, say &order=18 the form will load blank without anything filled in, so basically it seems like it didn't connect to the database or didn't make use of the order=18. I call upon these using a GET method. Here's something that me be of issue, the form is filled in if this condition is met: if ($_GET['firstTime']='YES' && $_SESSION['second']!= 'true')

Assign A New Value To A Variable Passed From An Html Form
I'm trying to assign a new value to a variable passed from an html form to a php3 script. I'm using an if statement to evaluate variable 3 to see if it is equal to a specific string, if it is I'm reassigning variable 2 to be variable2+variable 3. if ($question3!="select days") { $question2=$question2+$question3; } This is the statement. It keeps giving me a parse error and I can't seem to find the right documentation to show me how to combine two string variables.

Extracting Img Tag Info From HTML Source
I'm having a bit of a brain meltdown trying to figure this out. If anyone has a suggestion I could try, that would be excellent. I'm trying to extract specific pieces of data from an html source file. In particular image tag information. If my file contains lines similar to: <a href="images/picture.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="thumbnails/picture.jpg"></a> I'd like to be able to extract the a href URL and the img src as two seperate variables and ignore any other HTML source and tags inside of the file. For all intents and purposes ending up with an array of the following: $link[0]="images/picture.jpg"; $thumbnail[0]="thumbnails/picture.jpg";

HTML Presentation Page For Uploaded Info?
I've seen a lot of posts about uploading files, but not much about what happens afterwards. Can someone point me to a tutorial, post or book which will help me solve this problem: I'd like to have a form where users can upload a photo, add a short bio, put in some contact info, and have all of this information stored in a database (natch). Then I'd like for this form to take this user's data and put it into an html presentation template. Ideally, members would sign in and be able to modify their own profiles as well as view other profiles.

Putting Info Into A DB / Passing Info Between Pages
I have run into an issue...I have posted previously, but my scenario has changed. Here is the situation... If a user clicks on a link ('abc123' for example) I want to insert into my database some predefined information about 'abc123' - I have assigned a value that is echoed in future pages for 'abc123'. So, what I need is some mechanism to, when a user clicks 'abc123', have a pre-defined username and password be entered into the database. I need this so future pages can utilize the session values.

URL Passed Variables
I've written an application that passes variables back and forth through the URL as the user bounces between pages. We decided that we want to "hide" what those variables are, so the user can't arbitrarily change them to make things happen that shouldn't. So, we've encrypted the variable string. Instead of seeing: index.php?startDate=2001-01-01&endDate=2002-01-01&building=1 They instead see: index.php?1e826a92f309b8271c0091e7a8d92839af3b1b918 This works great, however, if they manually enter: index.php?startDate=2001-01-01&endDate=2002-01-01&building=1 It still works, which is bad. I'm currently accessing the encrypted string with $_SERVER['argv'][0]. Register Globals is OFF. I guess I need a way to ignore every variable passed EXCEPT argv[0], or somehow unset argv[] after I check argv[0] to see if it is decryptable. I guess I could rename the variables, but they could still pass them through the URL if they discover the name somehow.

Can One Get The Name Of Parameters Passed To A Function?
One thing I like about Ruby is the use of symbols when passing function parameters to a function. One thing I dislike about PHP is that if a function has 4 optional parameters but you want to do something with the 4th one, you need to put in something, perhaps empty strings, for the first 3 parameters, even though you've no interest in using them. I'm wondering if there is anyway to emulate the Ruby style with something like this: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.func-get-args.php Is there a way to get the parameters as an associative array? A numerically indexed array is just as useless as the normal style of passing arguments.

Globals Not Being Passed -- Certain Computers
we store some code in the database, and declare some variables in there as globals. This code is pulled in later in some files (sort of like an include file) and it works wonderfully 99.9% of the time. (We have specific reasons for storing this stuff in the DB -- we literally have hundreds of these cases, and it's much easier for us to store these in a db, rather than in include files, especially since they are modified constantly) But we have a handful of users that for some reason are not passing those global variables that have been stored in the DB; they're coming up empty when they run the page in question. How can this be? Isn't this all being run on the server side? If it was a problem with the script in general, why would it work 99% of the time, and only mess up occasionally with just certain users only on their computers? Code:
