PHP :: Conditional PHP Cookies; If Cookie = 1 Do This...

Cookies And Redirect - Not Setting Cookie.
I've got the following code :

if (empty($g_view_all_cookie_val)) {
$t_settings_string = "v1#any#any#any#";
setcookie($g_view_all_cookie, $t_settings_string/**
* DG, time()+$g_cookie_time_length
*/);
print_header_redirect($g_view_all_page . "?f=2");
}

I am running this on PHP, IIS5 on windows 2000 server. When I run the
page it goes into a loop, it seems that the $g_view_all_cookie_val var
never gets set. If I run the same pages on II6 on Windows XP it runs

Conditional Loop
I have one table, "players" that has player info including start season (year). I then have a table for each season with player stats, i.e. games played etc called stats200X where X is the year obviously.

I have no problem with extracting data from the current year, but what I would like to do is get data from previous years too. I was thinking about doing something like:

(year) - (startyear), which for example could be 3.

I don't know where to begin, but I want to be able to loop though previous years so that, if tables exist of course, I could do

select * from stats{Y -1}
display
select * from stats{Y -2}
etc

Would I need to hard code this or is there a way of doing this though a conditional loop?

Conditional Login..
I have a form with a username & password field along with 3 radio buttons.

What I basically want to achieve is if radio button A is checked it will post the username & pass to a.php, If button B is checked it will post the username & pass to b.php and so on for button C.

Checkboxes,conditional
Basically I have what seems to be a very small problem but I am driving ny self mad trying to figure out what the problem is. Here is what I have: I have a form with two checkboxes:

<input type="checkbox" name="medicalcheck" >
<input type="checkbox" name="dentalcheck" >

the form is posting the a php file, decision.php, that simple checks to see if the boxes have been checked and performs an operation in either case. Here is the code:

Once Conditional Causes Error, The Other Doesn't...why?
There are 2 if statements at the beginning of this code snippet. The one that is currently commented out works while the one that is not commented out yields this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in C:xampphtdocsench2index4.php on line 106

I am just not seeing why. Code:

Conditional Structures
I am wondering about conditional structures and the depth of nesting allowed, if at all. For example I know I can do this: Code:

Conditional Form
I want to condtionally display an HTML form. I havnt got a clue how it can be done, I suppose its the same way as putting html tables in php, but I cant get it to work. Here is the condtion:

<?php
if (!empty($pk))
{

And here is the form:

<form action="google.php" method="GET" name="deleteForm" >
<input type="hidden" name="pk" value="<? echo $pk;?>">
<input type="submit" value="Delete">
</form>

Conditional Third Expression In For Loop
Is it possible to make expr3 $i++ under one condition and $i-- under another? Instead of having the condition outside the loop and having two loops. Or I could just use a while loop, I guess.

Sessions + Conditional Include
I am having a little problem in trying to figure out why my session state is not expiring after I close the browser window. Having been used to the ASP way of doing things I am trying to get my head around this slightly different method of handling sessions in PHP....

What happens is that I log on to the site, do various things and then close it when I am finished. I return the next day to find that the 'logged in' menu is displayed first which shouldnt happen until you have logged in again.

I assumed that the session was been stored as a cookie but wasnt been released after the session terminates by default, but found I was wrong when I deleted all my internet files and went back to the site.

My code for the first page is as follows..

MySQL Conditional Statement
What I am trying to do is kind of like an advanced search. Basically, I have three dropdowns, for this I am going to use the example books: Three dropdowns, which are

1) Author
2) Language
3) Type (Hardback or Paperback)

Typical search: I want to get a list of all books written by STEPHEN KING, that are written in ENGLISH and that are HARDBACK ok fine, but what if I just want to search for ALL books by STEPHEN KING regardless of the language or the type of book?? Heres the SQL i would use for all 3 "search parameters": PHP Code:

Writing Conditional Statement
I'm trying write a conditional statement that updates the database in 1 of 2 ways depending on the values given. I'm only 2 weeks into learning PHP/MySQL so I realize the way I've written it out is probably sloppy and more inefficient than what it could be. I've just been winging it from examples and trial and error and have gotten everything working except for this. I'm not sure if I have my logic or syntax wrong.

Application-specific details:
This is a simple invoicing application. Every invoice is in either 1 of 3 states:

- pending (default state when a new invoice is entered)
- paid (state when invoice is paid in full)
- partial (state when only partial payments have been made on the invoice)

What I'm trying to do is this:

1. If a partial payment is made on an invoice, the status is set to 'partial' (this is working)
2. If the payment posted was the full amount of the invoice or the final amount needed to pay it in full, the status is set to 'paid' (this is not working)

My processing logic works like this:
1. There is a total invoice amount stored in the invoice table represented by $total variable (working)
2. When payments have been made to that invoice (stored in the payments table), I show the remaining balance on their invoice by calculating the sum of those payments and subtracting them from the total (this is represented by the $diff variable and is working)
3. The part not working: When the remaining balance ($diff) minus the payment amount posted ($_POST['amount']) is equal to 0, the status is set to paid. PHP Code:

Conditional Statements And Loops
Not long ago I was asked to give PHP lections to some private IT
school. I'm on second lection now, and will be teaching my :) students
conditional statements (if..else and switch) and loops (while and for).
That was my story, now the question.

Can you give me an advise on some geeky use of those statements to stir
up some enthusiasm in students.

Mutlipart And/or Conditional Form
I have a form that needs to have conditional statements, and I am not sure how to "fix" this. The existing form is split in two parts - the form, and the processor. I would think that I will need to combine them, but..

Anyways - what I need is somewhat simple - if a certain option (from a <select>) is chosen, force another field to be completed. I also have 2 other fields that if the radio button is set to YES, require new fields. Ideally, the optional fields would only be shown to the user IF they are required.

Conditional Select From Mysql
I have a mysql database which stores race data that I want to open up to users for viewing. I want the user to be able to select various subsets of the data according to the parameters: race, gender, age, and type (and maybe sometime, by name as well). This is BOTH a mysql question and a php one, as I ask for a more efficient solution (see bottom this post).

Here is a snippet of how I am implementing the mysql statements to select only the exact subset of data. PHP Code:

Conditional Preg Match
The following bit of code does a preg match and does something if true
(sets $browser to ppcie)

Without using if then and else's how do I code it so it does not equal
what it is testing for? So if it does not find ppc in the $agent then
it does something else/sets it to something else?

$agent = getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
if (preg_match("/PPC/i", "$agent")) {
$browser = 'PPCIE'
}

Question On Conditional Statements
I'm a perl programmer and am trying to learn PHP.

So far I have figured out most of the differences, but have not been able to
find out how to do the following:

When running through a loop, how can you test two separate conditions
against the same $element of an array. For example, this is how I thought it
would be done (similar to Perl), but it did not work:

if (eregi("apple", $line) and (eregi("orange", $line) {

do whatever;

}

Basically testing each line of an array to see if both the words "apple" and
"orange" are present.

Also, is there any equivalent to the following from Perl while running
through a loop:

next if (whatever conditions);
last if (whatever conditions);

Help With Posting Conditional If Statement
I've tried scaling down a script to the bare minimum and
it still is not working correctly. What I think should happen is that when
the field app_fname is blank, that $hold_chk will get set to 1 and the 1st
if statement will be executed. What actually happens is that when I hit
submit, the form stays where it is, for example if the form where the submit
button is located is on the form other.php, then when I hit submit this is
where it stays. If I then hit the submit button a 2nd time, it post to the
some.php form. I've tried this script without the conditional if(isset()
and it works. I need to have the isset() otherwise the form displays all
empty fields as soon as it loads, before the submit button is hit.

<?php

$holdchk = 0;

if (isset($_POST['B1'])) {

echo "<br><br><br>";
if (empty($_POST['app_fname'])) {
$holdchk = 1;
}

if ($holdchk == 1 ){
echo "<form method="POST" action="some.php">";

}

if ($holdchk == 0 ){
echo "<form method="POST" action="other.php">";

}
}
?>

<html>

<head>
</head>

<form method="POST" action="">

When
hit the submit button</font></b<input
type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>
</form>
</body>

</html>

Conditional List Boxes
I am attempting to create a list box that is dynamically populated based on the selection of another list box. I am in way over my head..only way to learn I guess. The code below has a year listbox and then based on the year selection, the page should either show another listbox (show industry selection when year <> 2005) or it should render the main form (when year=2005). I cannot get the main form to appear. Code:

Conditional Email Text To Hyperlink
I am trying to write a content management section for a web site.

I have managed so far to use htmlarea to give users a basic, but user
friendly interface by which to edit the page content.

The user can add emails by symply typing john@example.com - IE automatically
converts this to a hyperlink. The trouble is sometimes the users use plain
text. I have been using the following line to convert plain text to a
hyperlink:

$pagetext=ereg_replace('[A-Za-z0-9_]([-._]?[A-Za-z0-9])*@[A-Za-z0-9]([-.]?[A-Za-z0-9])*.[A-Za-z]+',
'<a href="mailto:?subject=Email%20from%20web%20site"></a> ',
$pagetext);

This works well - BUT it completely screws up any existing hyperlinks. Is
there a way to convert the plain text email address in to a hyperlink only
if it is NOT part of a hyperlink.

Basically I need some way of checking
* If it's plain text > convert to a hyperlink
* If it's already an email hyperlink leave it alone.

I have tried looking up and testing everything I can think of - but am
finally asking around before I go mad.

Simplifying A Basic If Statement Conditional
Is there a more efficient way to write this:
if($var=1 || $var=4 || $var=27 || $var=28 || $var=30 || $var=37||
$var=38){echo "true";}

Avoiding Endless Conditional Statements
Here is my problem. I want to make a webapp that will basically take
the work out of finding what tool works for what situation. There are
5 factors that go into tool selection. 1)Material Group, 2)Insert
Radius, 3)Insert Type and Size, and 2 others that I can't remember
off-hand. There are probably about 1000 different scenarios that I
have to code for..(there are several blank table cells and it's not
setup as you might imagine, there is a lot of overlapping), and I
desperately want to avoid making a gigantic conditional statement. I'm
afraid that I really have to provide a picture of what I'm doing here,
so I will do that. Here is the link.
You only see 3 of the 5
factors on this page, and the other 2 have to do with whether this
table or one of many other tables (not pictured) will be used.

So, now that I've confused everyone. That's my table. What's a good
way to go about programming that sucker in so that people don't have to
do all the "work" involved to figure out what tools they need. They
should just be able to choose selections from 5 dropdown boxes and get
one tool back. A tool is something like "10.655.600".

Cascade Dropdown Or Conditional List
I would like to create a conditional cascade form. based on the selection, it can display or not display an input form for the user to enter an string of text. then at the bottom of the page (or when a user submit) connect all the sections including the input field all together (it's like a story maker?)

Conditional Statement For Default Case
I'm trying to create a conditional statement for my menu that will check to see if the page is on the default case. Code:

Differance Between Session Cookies And Persistent Cookies
Can anybody knows the differance between Session cookies and persistent
cookies.

Syntax Issue With Form And Conditional Statement
Is it possible for a <form ... action="program.php"> to contain a conditional statement for the action? For example, I want to call one PHP program if variable $a="screen" and another program if variable $a="download". I have been struggling with this for some time and cannot seem to get it to work.

PHP Conditional Setting Of Radio Button Default
I'm working on an edit inventory form, and I'm pulling a field from my database that's going to be a 'Y' or 'N'. Based upon this, I want to default the 'customizable' radio button to either checked="Y" or checked="N". Code:

Make Function Equal To String In Conditional
I can usually figure something out, but I CANNOT figure this one out: This is a classified word ad script to count the words in a text area ($wrdad) and multiply it by the rate for how many times the ad will run in the newspaper. I know my code is messy and ameture, don't be too critical, but it works - everythign except one part. We have a 15 word minimum. I have this area commented out as //Problem Area/// in the code below.

In a nutshell, I want function wordcount($wordad) to be equal to 15 if there are fewer than 15 words in the $wordad textarea. It just seems to ignore the wordcount($wordad) == 15; in my conditional. Code:

Only 20 Cookies? - Please Give Me More Cookies!
I am building a "custom links" feature on a web site. Currently, I am storing the url in a cookie and the name of the web site in another cookie. Having 10 custom links would mean 20 cookies. However, in the specifications of cookies (Netscape), there is a maximum limit of 20 on the number of cookies per domain.

My question is: I know of a site at http://www.hammervald.se/search-this/

which got around the problem by using a BIG cookie with all the information separated by a delimiter such as %. Would would be the code to parse this string in the cookie?

Suppose the contents of my cookie is:
CookieName = "URL1%site1.com%NAME1%site#1%URL2%site2.com%NAME2%site#2%URL3%site3.comNAME3%site#3..."

How would I parse this string to get the following variables?

$URL1 = "site1.com"
$NAME1 = "site#1"... etc

Also, what would be a good delimiter to use? Is % very compatible?

Conditional "implements"
Currently i'm thinking about how to solve this problem:

if (t3lib_div::int_from_ver(phpversion())<5000000) {
// php4
class tx_lib_object extends tx_lib_selfAwareness {...}
//
} else {
// php5
class tx_lib_object extends tx_lib_selfAwareness implements ArrayAccess, Iterator {...}
//
}

The question is now how to make this conditional "implements" in php?
Of cause i do not want to copy the code for both php versions and then
switch between the whole classes.

Cookie
How do you set a cookie for a login page to get the browser to remember the login info.

Also, I read that :

header("cache-control: private") or something close causes IE to maintain form post data in case an input error is made and the user needs to go back to the form. Is this accurate?

Can Someone Please Help On Cookie
I am trying to set an email address as a cookie using setcookie() function. The problem I see is that the character, '@' becomes '%40'.

I want to see the original @, is this possible in PHP? Using a perl cgi works fine.

Also, can cookies be set without using setcookie()? I tried to use print "Set-Cookie: email=xxx@yyy.zzzz;..."; etc, before any header or output but things are printed on the browser.

PHP Ate My Cookie
I am trying to use a set a cookie whenever someone fills out a registration form on my site. Code:

Cookie
I got a simple page index-tmp who include a code snippet who test if a cookie
exist and if yes redirect to the user account page but the trouble
is when I didn't 've a cookie the page still redirect to the user account page.

here is the following code :

<?
$cookie = $_COOKIE["free-nickname"];
if (!cookie == null) {
echo '<script langage = "javascript">'
echo " document.location.href = 'index_utilisateur.php'";
echo '</script>;'
}
else {
echo '<script langage = "javascript">'
echo " document.location.href = 'index.php'";
echo '</script>;'
}
?>

Php Cookie
I am wanting to set a redirect in the surfers browser that will redirect the surfer
to a different page the next time the surfer returns.

For example, if the visitor visits home.php a cookie will be set and so the next time the visitor returns to this page, the cookie will be detected and the surfer will be redirected to newpage.php.

Cookie Set In A Different Dir
I'm basically trying to read and use the cookie set by the YaBB forum on my site on the index page, as a kind of 'welcome' to users who have accounts in the forum. I thought this would work;

<?php
if($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['YaBBusername']) echo ("Welcome back, " . $YaBBusername . "!");
?>

in it's simplest form. Now, I know that YaBBusername is the name of the cookie, as I have found it on my HD and read it. I've also gone through the forum code and checked it does set the cookie with the path=/ so it should be able to be read on all directories, shouldn't it?

I might also point out the forum is in my cgi-bin, whereas the index page is obviously located in the root folder. I'm really stuck on something I thought would be quite easy.

Set A Cookie
What I'm trying to do here is check if the value of the cookie is equal to what it was set to. If not, set the cookie and reload the page. The problem is that the webpage keeps on reloading, probably because the cookie wasn't set, or there's an error in my code. I've tested other code with cookies and it's worked.

A couple questions... What's wrong with the code? And do I need to reload the page to read the cookie after it just got set? Code:

Cookie
my plan is to create a usersystem where whenever they sign up the script sets a cookie for the username & password, and then throughout the site it will use these cookies
my questions...

1) how do i set the 2 cookies to never expire (if its possible)
2) how do i recall the stored username/password cookies properly.

Cookie
I am executing a cgi-script using a username and password sent via hidden fields from another location. This cgi-script simply creates database records (if the first time this user has visited), then needs to pass control to a static html page. By the time I get to the html page, I need to have a cookie set, but we don't want any screens to show up in between - basically the whole cgi-script processing is invisible. Once finished with
the update, I send the username via a hidden field in an autosubmitted form
to a php script in order to get the cookie set.

Now, in order to get the cookie set, I execute a 'self-check' routine in php
(this routine is right out of the Professional PHP Programming Book, by Wrox
Press). This scripts sets the cookie then redirects to itself. The second
time through this script, it checks to see if the cookie exists - if it
doesn't, it gives a message "...Please enable cookies". If it does - it
redirects to the static html page. The code is below.

My problem is that the first time through this whole process (cgi-script to
php script - in a new browser session), I get the error "...Please enable
cookies" (which I DO have enabled). If I then send through a second username
and password and go through the whole process (same browser session) - this
time it works, and sets the cookie with the second username. Code:

Php Cookie
I have the following code to set cookies but AOL users seem to have a hell of a problem with it. Is this bad php coding? Should I use an alternative method? Code:

setcookie($cookiename . '_data', serialize($sessiondata), $current_time + 31536000, $cookiepath, $cookiedomain, $cookiesecure);

setcookie($cookiename . '_sid', $session_id, 0, $cookiepath, $cookiedomain, $cookiesecure);

Cookie
i'm experiencing one problem regarding setting the cookie. may i know why the cookie that i set in IE can't appear in Netscape? what i mean the page that i view using netscape are without cookie while in IE display the cookie page?

Cookie
I have a website that is accessible (at least from our local campus
network) by four different ways:

1) the full url: http://campuslaan37.student.utwente.nl/
2) the short url: http://campuslaan37/
3) an alias: http://cam37.student.utwente.nl/
4) the short alias: http://cam37/

I use cookies to save and set some preferences etc. However, if you
surf from e.g. (1) to (3), it is treated as an entirely different
site, and nothing that was stored in the cookie applies anymore.

Is there a way to set the cookie, such that it immediately applies
to all the possible URLs to access the site?

Cookie Won't Set
This was working up until a short while ago, and now the cookie won't set. Is something wrong all of a sudden?

$id=$_GET['id']; //$id is a number passed through the url

setcookie ("ringi", "ringi/approval.php?id=$id", 0, "/");

PHP Cookie
with my website sometimes users login in and yet when they try to enter it takes them back to the login page telling them there not logged in, now im assuming this has something to do with the cookie keeping, but then again im still a newy and still learning it all, but i will paste my cookie code to see if it may hold the key to my problem as not all users get this issue. Code:

Cookie Won't Set.
I just made a login script and I made it so the user could check if they want to stay logged in forever. But when they check the box the cookie won't initiate. If they don't check the box, the session registers just fine.

<?php

if (isset($_POST['stay_logged'])){
setcookie("sid", $row['userID'], time()+360000);
} else {
$_SESSION['sid'] = $row['userID'];
}?>

I made sure that $_POST['stay_logged'] was set, so thats not the problem.

Cant Set Cookie
i am just making a very basic shopping cart/basket on my site and im tracking which user in the DB by putting in their session id as the unique CartID for each user.

i have this located in an include file with my database information, and the cookie is not being set, i cannot view it through echo and checking it in IE's temp files and Mozilla's cookie viewer shows it is not being set. i dont understand what i am doing wrong any help will be great, this is my include. Code:

Cookie
I made a site using CMS Dragonfly 9.1.1 and I'm having the same problem and I was having a long time ago but the site that was helping me had a problem with some array thingy, anyway.

It's a problem with the cookies, it stops you from loging out, or causes the site to give you a 404 error sometimes, and it causes all kinds of problems, and I was wondering if you guys have heard of the cookie mod or not? That fixed my first site so I was wondering if it would fix this too.

Cookie / GET
I've been trying for a number of days to get a delete function working. The problem is, I can't get the delete.php page to actually do anything. So, I changed my method of deleting from a link next to each picture to a checkbox system. Here's the code that shows all the directory's files with the checkboxes next to them: Code:
