Changing Db Within Page
I have a php page that flips between dbs and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't... e.g. the first query runs from this db, the second query runs from a different db and then the third query runs from the first db again... the first query will run, the second query will run, but then the third query will not.

Each time that I switch to a query that calls a different db, I used include_once "db_whatever"; before the query, thinking that, that would work, but it doesn't... Is there something I need to do to kill the previous db connection prior to moving onto another one?

PHP Code To Access Password Protected Page
I have written the following HTML/PHP code to validate and provide
access to a password protected page to users who are given the user ID
and password through a separate e-mail. The required page,
Articles.html, however does not load when the valid user ID and
password is provided. Instead, the response is a blank page.

validate.php
<html>
<head>
<title>Login Authentication</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php

if (($_POST["username"]=='cutedog')AND($_POST["password"]=='puppy'))
{
header("Location: http://www.domain.com/Articles.html");
exit();

}
else
{

echo "Login denied to the page - Articles.html";

}
?>
</body>
</html>

Does any other file need to be included for HEADER function to work? I
currently do not have CGI or SSI active on my hosting account. I am
using the following HTML form for the user to submit the user ID and
password to access the password protected page.

<html>
<head>
<title>code</title>
<script LANGUAGE="javaScript">

username.focus();
username.select();

Authenticate A User Using Same Password As Linux Password
We're working on an intranet site where we will require user's to only
be able to access their own page in some instances. Rather than
introducing another password to the mix, we were thinking about seeing
if we could use the same credentials (username and password) as their
linux credentials. The web site will be running off of the same machine
that we want to access the credentials on.

Password Protect Pages With The Same Password For Every User.
I am building a site where every user has to enter a password to go to the next page.
The passwords will be the same for everyone.

So for example, to go from page A to B everyone has to type the word "swordfish" into a box at the bottom of page A

And to then go from page B to C everyone as to type "afghanistanbananastan" at the bottom of page B etc.

Is this something I would use php to do and if so how? I don't want people to be able to view the source and see the passwords.

I'm using proftpd with mysql, it's working great. I creaded a site that a proftpd user can use to change his password, I also wrote another PHP script that monitors passwords and if a password is about to expire (90 days), it sends out an email to the user.

Changing The From Name In Mail()
I know how to send mail with the mail() function. I have looked at the documentation for php and I can not seem to get the right syntax for changing the return name.

This is really annoying me and if anybody knows the syntax I would sure appreciate it.

Changing Colors
I have this form where you can submit a DJ line up for an event. I want the user to be able to change the font color whenever they wish, and when they hit enter, for it to skip a line. I would like the to be able to do this without them knowing how to use the <br> and <font> commands. Kind of like you see on a phpBB board or something


But is there a way to make this button, and when the click it, it keeps the text that they have already entered into the textarea adds a [ i ] or whater and then when they click the button again, it inserts the [/ i ] without altering the text they already typed. it would be much like the buttons you use to do your PHP and color changes in this forum, but without the pop-up window to enter your code into.

I have a login page which remembers what you were trying to access, then uses header('Location: url here') to redirect the user back to what they were trying to access after a successful password.

Changing An Array Name.
If I have an array called my_array1, how do I call it within a for cycle? Something like this:

for($a=1;$a<=5;++$a){
$my_array = 'my_array'.$a;
          //prints $my_array
}

I know that doesnt work, so, I tried something like the following:

for($a=1;$a<=5;++$a){
$my_array = 'my_array'.$a;
          //prints $$my_array
}

That does work with variables, but doesnt work with arrays. I know that in Java and ActionScript what I'm trying to acomplish is pretty simple, but I cant seem to find the correct syntax for php.
