Store A Download Date In A MySQL Database
I need to store a download date in a MySQL Database when a user makes an order,and check to see if that download date has expired when the user logs in in the future. What would be the best way to do this? timestamp?
Is there a PHP function that can anaylze the timestamp (or some sort of date string) and check to see how much time is left? Example: User orders download access for 24 hours - Comes back 5 hours, 20 minutes later - It should tell him that he has 18 hours fourty minutes left.

As you can see, it is just making the date the current time. The values in the database are UNIX timestamp, and the DATE() function is used to convert from UNIX to readable date.

PHP "Calender Like" Pop Up To Select Date And Store As Variable In Mysql Format?
I use to have this feature on my site about two years ago when i hired someone. It would allow the user to select between two different dates, via a small calender, save it as a variable then query the database. Does anyone know where I can find the script for the small calender? I think it must of been populated by an external clock since all the dates were accurate etc. July 21st was on a saturday.

Reading And Displaying A Date From A MySql Database
I've just started using php, and although I am very impressed by it, there are some things with which I am confounded! What I'm trying to do is read in a Date from a mySql database and then display it on screen (the Date is in the usual yyyy-mm-dd format). If I use SQL on phpadmin SELECT Date FROM details WHERE details.Name = "Paul Lee" LIMIT 0 , 30 The result comes up 2005-01-01, so this seems to work. But if I use the following: $db = mysqli_connect("localhost","root",""); @mysqli_select_db($db, "personnel") or die ( "Unable to select database" ); $query = 'SELECT Date FROM details WHERE details.Name = "Paul Lee" LIMIT 0, 30' $result=mysqli_query($db, $query); echo "<br>"; echo $result; mysqli_close($db); I get "Object id #2" displayed on screen. I have tried to use the explode function to separate the months, year and day using the "-" as a delimeter, but this doesn't work, and I can't seem to get the other php date/time functions to work either.

What's The Best Way To Store An Array In The Database

Store Database Password
We have a dilemma. We are storing our database password in an include file that resides outside of the web root. The password is in plain text. So, no one can get that password because it can't be served up by the web server. So far, so good. The customer wants all of our passwords encrypted. So, how do I go about securely encrypting that password? If I use mcrypt, I have to store a key and an IV somewhere. and if those are in clear text, I might as well just store the password in clear text. That is to say, I could encrypt the password with a given key and IV, and then hard code that key and IV into my app and put the encrypted password into the database. But, there's really no security in that. Has anyone else done anything like this?

Secure Way To Store HTML In The Database?
to my understanding it is very unsafe to allow users to submit HTML from a form to the database. What if I allowed the user to use HTML, but when they submitted it I would change all the >'s and <'s into backets [ and ]. So the user would type out: <img src="image.jpg"> and it would be inserted into the database like this: [img src="image.jpg"] Would this be a secure way of doing it? Or is there a better way?
