Use A Simple Form Into Html Verified Against A Mysql Database
I'm setting up an account login: should I use a simple form (user name and password) "embeded" into html verified against a mysql database or should I use the challenge/response scheme (also verified against a mysql database?
Basically, is there any benefit to using challenge/response over merely submitting user name and password (like a search engine)?

User Is Verified By A MySQL Database, And Then A Session: 'user' Is Registered.
I have a problem with sessions. In my code admin.php the user is verified by a MySQL database, and then a session: 'user' is registered. Well when the user presses a link to a another page called news.php it will be checked if the session is the same as in the same script, or if it's even registered (to prevent people trying to break in). But everytime i redirect to news.php I get a file included ip.php wich tells me Im about to break in. Code:

Using A Php Html Form With Data Which Is Loaded From A Mysql Database.
I am using a php html form with data which is loaded from a mysql database. Three of the fields are textareas. The data loads into these fields fine, except that the loaded text starts at what appears to be 2 or 3 tab characters to the left. See illustration: +---------<this is a textarea object>---------+ | This is about the way that| |the text loads from the database field. | | | | | +---------------------------------------------+ It's almost as if there's a textarea "align" property which is set to "center" by default unless otherwise explicitly stated. Is there some setting in the wrap property that will fix this, or should I be looking elsewhere?

Simple Form On An HTML Email
I am sending out HTML emails to a list of addresses in a table and I am trying to put a simple POST form on each email consisting of a confirm submit button and a few hiddens. The submit button should call up a popup that is on my server that says Thank You, we have received your confirmation etc. The popup also holds some php/mysql that should update the table in question to say that the recipient has confirmed. The HTML email is arriving OK, and the submit button is calling up the popup, but the form values are getting lost, so no database update is taking place.

Pre-selecting Options In Html-form According To Database Entry
I've got a html-form consisting - among other fields - of several drop-down-boxes and radio button groups. With this form you should be able to either create a new dataset or to edit an existing one. If the latter is the case, my application should propose values (the ones which are already in the database) and write them into the input-fields. My problem is, it should have the according options pre-selected and the checkboxes checked, and I've no idea how to do this. (Example: I've a dropdown box for languages, and my dataset says the language is English, then in my dropdown box the option "English" should be preselected when this dataset is to be edited).

Importing Html To Mysql Database
I'm preparing to convert my "old" non-dynamic html website to php and mysql. I finally found a mediumly fast way to turn the html pages into raw data, but it has html codes within the content that I want to stay within the database. For example, I have DIV and CLASS codes with quote marks (div id="fred" - p class="red") that I want to stay. I've read through the mysql documentation and understand that I can set the fields-terminated-by, fields-enclosed-by and lines-terminated by with characters, but I can't find which characters are allowed. I also am not sure about doubling the quotes in order to keep them ("") or adding slashes ("), or what. I did a test run with phpmyadmin to add a simple four field test text file to a table I set up with phpmyadmin. I tried changing from the default field separators of ";" to "^" and record ends of "#". Nothing. Code:

HTML Form With PHP And MySQL

I want several dropdown lists with the options Yes/No (or radio buttons, whichever is easiest) in them and depending on the users choice it will add their choice into the db. I have the Add page working fine, but the problem lies in the update page. if i go to my update page it pulls all the right information back into the HTML form from the DB until it gets to the dropdowns, which it doesnt like. How can i make it select the appropriate option from the dropdowns depending on the DB? If i submit the changes it wont update it either and gives errors from the dropdown code. Code:

Error Updating Html Text In A Mysql Database
I have a field in my database which needs to contain html code (for formatting of text, lists, and links). I can successfully add the data and view it on a webpage, but I cannot figure out how to edit it. I have read about magicquotes, htmlspecialchars, addslashes, etc, and I have tried various combinations of these without any luck. My code currently looks like this: $id = $_POST['id']; $myhtml = $_POST['myhtml']; if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $myhtml = addslashes($myhtml); } $query = ("UPDATE products SET myhtml="$myhtml" where id="$id""); $result = mysql_query($query); And the error is: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'myhtml=" Can anyone help?! or advise where I might be going wrong?

How To Populate HTML Form From PHP/MySQL
I have found many examples of how to access an HTML text field from PHP, but cannot find the reverse - how to load an HTML form from a MySQL database. Specifically, I have an HTML form which contains several text boxes that correspond to the fields in a MySQL file. What I want to do is call a PHP form that reads one record from MySQL and then populates all of the HTML fields on the calling form. The call to MySQL is not a problem - that works and I can use "Echo" to verify that I have successfully read a record. Now, how do I get that data back into the original HTML form?
