PHP :: Is It Possible To Make This? (Online Signup List)

List Contents Of A Folder, Make List Of Links
Does anyone know how I can write a script that:

- reads in all the files in a particular directory
- displays the file names in a html list and makes a link of them:
<ul>
<li><a href="filelocation1">filename 1</li>
<li><a href="filelocation2">filename 1</li>
<li><a href="filelocation3">filename 1</li>
</ul>

etc.?

So basically it creates a list of links with the contents in that directory,
so you can download them from there.

Simple 'Who's Online?' List
I can figure out how to add people to the list. I'd presume you'd have a column in a database table called on/off. In them, you could either have 1 or 0. If someone's online, 1, if not, 0. I'd guess that the 1 would be written as they log in and the sessions are registered. But, how do you write the 0? At what point is that written? So basically, how would you do it, and code if possible?

Show List Of Users Online
How can i list the users logged into the system?

Maybe save the list of session id in application attribute?

Maintaing List Of "online" Users
I've seen a few posts asking for a way to keep a list of all "online" users. For example, when the user logs in, his/her record in the database is updated to show that the user is currently logged in. There can also be a "logout" script, which sets the user's status in the database to "logged off" when it is run. The problem is, however, that many users simply close the browser window, in which case the logout scripts does not run at all.

So far, there only good solutions for this problem involved checking user's activity in certain time increments (like 5 or 10 minutes) and if there is none, assume that the user has logged out.

However, this would not work for me, because I have to allow for arbitrary long periods of inactivity (while still browsing my website) before logging users out automatically (not just 5-10 minutes); but log users out immediately when they leave the website.

While reading the user notes in PHP manual, I've come accross a possible way of solving this problem (this script can be included in an invisible frame on any website): PHP Code:

Easy Way To Make "pages" From A Database List
If I list all the rows in a database and "LIMIT 20", how do I make it so I can go to, the next 20 rows? Say if I have 50 rows, and only want to show 20 per a page?

Signup
On my site when someone signs up a url for them is placed in my htaccess file (a url rewrite) The only problem is that if some one uses a constrictor that a htaccess file does not like a get an error.

How do i stop spaces and invalid constrictor from been used i a users username?

ISP Automated Signup Via PHP
I've been given the interesting task of developing a website for an emerging ISP who would like to handle customer signups via an online web-based signup page. Problem is I don't know where to start. Common sence tells me that I need PHP to interact with the radius server (Cistron) somehow, but that's about all I know at this point.

I'm in the process of educating myself about how the Cistron radius server works and hopefully I can figure something out.

Has anyone else worked on a similar project in the past that can provide some useful information to me?

Signup Script
I would like to know if somebody knows or haves a PHP script in order to put a link to a web page so i open and delete UNIX USERS.

Php Signup Problem
i've been trying to create a signup page that asks for a username, password and then to confirm the password. It is suppose to check how long both of them are, and if the passwords line up, that went well, but i can't make it check to see if it is being used by someone else. heres the script, good luck.

Returning To Signup Form
i have a basic signup POST form, with php on the same page. how do i

Register_globals=OFF + Email Signup Validation ??
I am newish to PHP and wish to create an authentication system where a new
user is required to validate/complete their sign-up by clicking a link in an
email.

I am probably capable of putting something together where the user gets sent
a link with a set of values but I am sure it would require
"register_globals" set to ON.

How is this achieved with "register_globals" set to OFF?

Also would love read a decent tutorial on this subject with either
"register_globals" set to ON or OFF.

Error In Mail() For User Signup
i've made a user management system that allows users to signup to become a member of the site. when they do this an email gets sent to them that has a link that activates their account. It basically works but its having a few teething problems. I'm testing it all on localhost while i debug the site, when a user fills in their details to signup it occassionally throws up an error and doesnt send the email, when this happens the screen goes blank and the explorer loading bar shows that something is loading which obviously shouldnt be happening on localhost. when the page does appear it shows this error message:

PHP Warning: Failed to Receive in c:phpdevwwwpublicsuv
egister.php on line 129

line 129 being the line that contains the mail function. The email does not get sent but the data is entered into the database. It always works the second time i try but the user cannot now use their desired username or that email address as they have already been taken.

I need to prevent this from happening but i cant work out what the problem is, any help is much appreciated. Is there also a way i can control this error in the mail function and prevent the data from being inputted into the db should it occur? PHP Code:

Authentication Process For Email Signup?
authentication process for email signup? before confirming an email address to be a valid subscriber, i need to check that the email address is indeed the one that the user typed in. currently, i was thinking about storing the random code in a text file together with the email address to be autheticated:

email|code
autheticate list
%email%email%email

how do i autheticate it - anyone can provide an example code for this ?

Linking A User 'Signup Form' To 'Service Agreement'
Can someone give me a suggestion on the best way to do this? I have created a signup form which I have linked to a service agreement (waiver). I am sure the code in simple but I've never linked php pages together before.

Here's what I have so far...
1) User choses a 'product'
2) Directed to a Sign up form (simple -name, email, phone etc.)
3) Must read service agreement and accept
4) Directed to shopping cart

My trouble is between 2 and 3. I could do the server agreement in html but then I wouldn't be have any verification that registered users actually agreed to the service agreement. What kind of script would I use in the service agreement form to verify users have accepted it?

Signup Form Displaying Wrong Passwords (PASSWORD HASH)
I recently created a signup form with a user password. The forms are working, however, when I retrieve the record in MySQL the passwords are jumbled numbers and letters -not the correct passwords.

I believe this is called password hash. Why is the hash generated? I created a few user accounts but I can't login as the password entered is not the same as the myslq password generated by the hash..??

How are users suppose to login? What if they lose their password...how do I send them their password if I have a 'password hash'?

Get List Of Messages From One Table, Message List Indicator From
I have two tables. One has a list of messages left by users using fields named mbxno for the mailbox and msgno for the message number. I have another table that has mailbox settings for each user that contains a field named "messagelist" to indicate if they want to be included on the message list or not.

What I'm trying to create is a list of the most-recent messages with a lookup on the users table to indicate whether a message in the list should be included in the message list based on the user's mailbox settings.

SELECT messages.msgno, messages.mbxno, users.messagelist FROM messages, users WHERE (users.messagelist = Ƈ') ORDER BY msgno DESC LIMIT 100

What I'm getting, though is a list that looks like this:

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1

I think what's happening is that I'm using the wrong type of join and more rows are being created than necessary.

If I add "DISTINCT" to the query, I get a list of the most-recent messages as I expect, but the "messsagelist" value is sometimes wrong (again, probably because the data is getting jumbled). For example, the messagelist value for the second row (2214) should be 0, not 1.

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2214 msgno: 0412141622 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2189 msgno: 0412141408 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0003 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2265 msgno: 0412132029 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412131950 msglist: 1

How should I be doing this? If nothing else, what kind of join will work with a long list compared to a value from a short list?

Who Is Online?

Users Online Help!
I have a column in my datasase and whenever you login, it sets it to "yes". The Users online just retrieves all users that have "yes" in that column. However, the only way to get the user off the Users Online list (make the column "no") is to go via logout. I don't want this to be the users only choice. I want the online column in the database to be set to "no" if they have been on a page for 30 minutes. Now I figured out most of the code, but I can't seem to find a way to track the number of minutes (or any time) that the user has been on the page. I tried incorporation JS but I can't get that to work. I tried cookie's but I got nothing. BTW: I'm using sessions so $_SESSION['online'] controls the online status.

Can someone please help me track the minutes the user has been on the page?

Online PHP Editor?
I'm looking for a php editor that I can use online to modify files on my server. I did a search on the forums here, but most of the posts relating to this are rather old. The two things it needs to have is line numbers, and syntax highlighting. And it needs to be free, if possible. Ones I've found so far:

1) Helene Has weird bugs with the line numbers, if you erase lines, etc.

2) IDE.PHP Doesn't have syntax highlighting.

3) AboutEdit The plugin version is very nice -- very close to what I need. Not free, though, and I need to use this on many servers, so the cost starts getting prohibitive.

Has anyone else run across something that might work? Plain text area with javascript, flash, java applet, I don't care.

Online Indicator
I ran into some problems with a really cool Perl script that enables websites to tell visitors if the owner is currently online. I am trying to translate it into PHP because the Perl script forces site owners to use SSI.

Basically, there are three scripts and a .dat file (for anyone who may be familiar with this, it comes from a script called "I am Online").

A config file (onlineconfig.php) An online checker file (check_online.php) I am online file (i_am_online.php) that site owners most use with a browser to tell visitors they are online Code:

Looking For Online PHP Editors
I've seen lots of posts regarding PHP development environments, and I already have some good ones to use offline. Still, there has been many times when I'm away from home and need to get in and edit a file.

Has anyone run across a good web based editor for PHP? Ideally, the editor would allow for updating a file and checking it's syntax using the built-in PHP functions for syntax checking and color highlighting. Once the result is accepted, the edited file could then replace the original.

Pushed further out, it is easy to imagine an online editor with versioning ability to allow rollback to an earlier saved version. Another nice feature would be working on the code on one website and then either copying or uploading it to another site. All should be possible, and straight forward, but I'm not sure if anyone has put the pieces together in an open source project.

Practise Php Online?

Redirect If Online
Ive been looking for a nice Redirect if online script, but there i didnt manage to find one. I know its probably easy to create one, but i dont understand a single bit of PHP making this very hard for me . I found this code to redirect though:

<?php
header("Location: http://website.com/");
exit;?>

My question: Whats the best way to extend this into a "redirect if server is online" script. should i add a "if http://website.com is online, then redirect" like rule? and how could i do this?>

Survey Online
i need to make an online survey which is going to bee presented in several pages where in which page are placed some questions. I am trying to store the answer in session until the last page of questions is presented and than to add the question to the mysql db, but it is not working. I can se that the variable of page1 can be printed in page 2 but not on page3 and further.
My question is:

How can I do so that I save all the answers to the session variables or something like that so that even if the users is surfing back and forth so the variable are not going to add to the db twice or more.

Log Out And Set Online Counter To 0
I have a membership site that I created and as one of the last things I wanted to do was to set when members are online or not. So I know there was probably an easier method but what I did was add a online field to the member table. When a sucessful login is made they go to a loggedin.php page and on that page I have the following code:

$query = "UPDATE mwcplayers SET online=1 WHERE id= '".$_SESSION['id']."'";

This works great the users online status is set to 1.

My problem is when they log out and getting that online status set to 0 again:
