school

of course, i'd love to take my time, i have read till page 8 or so , most info might have been outdated since the topic started in 2008, rather than take in uninformative stuff, just wondering if someone could just post a link where i could download

ah! thanks much denzel2009 , where do i download stuff for practice?

great work/posts guys,

i visited the SAP website, didnt see anything like BASIS, all the terms you all are using are a bit confusing. and with the different modules or levels, more confusing.

which do i really go for as an IT guy who doesn't want to veer the IT path? and where do i download stuff exactly?

the from field will assign the sender's name in the code i gave,

if its going to spam, include the sender's address in your contacts' list

syntax seem right, it is generating an error ?

except you are doing some kind of OOP, just using mail() function would send out emails, no need to assign values to your port and what not / configure your php.ini

mail('email', $subject, $body,
"To: Contact Name <email>\n" .
"From: Sender Name<email>\n" .
"cc: Extra Contact Name <email>\n" .
"X-Mailer: PHP 4.x";

so, whats your question ?

with that snippet, you dont need to configure anything in your php.ini

usually, the mail functions would have been turned on.

again, if you had used the code , you'd see it works,


you can always use
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

to see all your server configurations

good job!
-can you get feeds from other sites too ?
-include number of comments on the actual post in the byline
- take out the +0000 in the byline, and don't display 'Author' if the string is empty
-can you retain the state of the menu on the sidebar?
-something is wrong with your character settings maybe?
-remove email address from author's field, or have a separate field for that

-* am not sure if i want each link opening in a new tab,  (personal opinion)

except you are getting feeds from different news site, i could just as well go to that particular site, see whats up in their "latest news" titles, and be on my merry way when am done - without having to waste my time coming to your site first and then re directing me.



- dont ask people to sort, show 10 post titles on your right sidebar either by title, latest post or recent articles (and then have maybe 10 more recent articles underneath) - there are many news site out there than waste my time on one having to sort for news or something like that

You'd have to pay to yahoo for a pop account.

@ pc guru: thanks so much, you are right on, couldnt have explained it better.

as Dual Core posted, we forgive those who ask that we document.


noticed i didnt initiate the session :

<?php session_start();

require_once("your_function_folder/functions.php";

function logged_in(){
return isset($_SESSION['id']);

}

function confirm_logged_in(){

if (!logged_in()){

redirect_to("index.php"; or redirect to logout.php
}

}


// include session.php on all your files, it probably should be the first thing you call since you are starting a session (if you dont have buffering turned on) or use obstart(); - so you dont get header already sent error.
// call the confirme_logged_in function to check if a user is logged in.

<?php


//remember to check if a session id exists


if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {//form has been submitted
$errors = array();

//perform validations on the form data

$required_fields = array('matric_number', 'password');



foreach($required_fields as $fieldname) {
if (!isset($_POST[$fieldname]) || empty($_POST[$fieldname])){
$errors[] = $fieldname;
}
}





$matric_number = trim(mysql_prep($_POST['matric_number']));
$password= trim(mysql_prep($_POST['password']));
//$hashed_password = sha1($password);



if(empty($errors)) {

//check database to see if matric_number and the hashed password exist there.

$query = "select matric_number, name  ";
$query .= "from table_name_in_your_database ";
$query .= "where matric_number = '{$matric_number}' ";
//$query .= "AND hashed_password = '{$hashed_password}' ";
$query .= "AND password = '{$password}' ";

//$query .= "limit 1';

$result_set = mysql_query($query);
confirm_query($result_set);
if (mysql_num_rows($result_set) == 1) {
//matric_number /password authenticated
//and only 1 match
$found_student = mysql_fetch_array($result_set);



//$_COOKIE['id'] = $found_student['matric_number'];
$_SESSION['id'] = $found_student['matric_number'];
$_SESSION['name'] = $found_student['name'];


redirect_to("studentinfopage.php";
//header ("Location: studentinfopage.php";
//print_r($found_student);
}else{
//matric_number/password combo was not found in the database
echo  "matric_number/Password combination incorrect.";
?> <br/> <?php
echo  "Please make sure your caps lock key is off and try again.";

}


}

else {

if(count($errors) == 1) {

$message = "There was 1 error in the form.";
}else {
$message = "There were " . count($errors) . " errors in the form.";
}
}

}else { //form has not been submitted

if (isset($_GET['logout']) && $_GET['logout'] == 1){

$message = "You are now logged out";
}
$matric_number = "";
$password = "";
}

?>


//my functions:

function mysql_prep($value){
$magic_quotes_active = get_magic_quotes_gpc();
$new_enough_php = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string"; // i.e. php >= v4.3.0
if($new_enough_php) { // php v4.3.0 or higher
//undo any magic quote effects so mysql_real_escape_string can do the work
if($magic_quotes_active) { $value = stripslashes($value); }
$value = mysql_real_escape_string($value);
} else { //before php v4.3.0
// if magic quotes aren't already onb then add slashes manually
if (!$magic_quotes_active) { $value = addslashes($value);}
//if magic quotes are active, then the slashes already exist
}
return $value;
}



function confirm_query($result_set){

if (!$result_set) {
die("Database query failed: " . mysql_error());

cj1080:

What u don't write your functions on your own, see me being busy killing myself trying to do that. How do u write them and with wat.enlighten a brother my brother.

And jscript,ain't that the same as javascript but with a shortened j or an i missing something.
Where and how can i lay me hands on an indepth study to understand of that. Do point(oh not polite),do show de way pls.

There are some functions out there that'd do what you have in mind, and there are some you'd have to code. just like classes.

check lynda for videos

Dual Core:

Yes! its on your site, it may look new or strange to you  but its on your site, dreamweaver generated that while you clicked your way through it.

Take it easy on the guy o abeg

You can network 3 systems without using a dial up. Do you mean you want access the internet on all 3 systems ?

rojad:

<?php
$name="your name"; //holds the variable called yourname as string
?>

lol, the variable in your lecture is "$name" not "yourname"

what does it do exactly ?

yup! the site wont load

sagby:

i salute ooooooo. i wanna knw hw the POE wil look like, my skool resume on 6th n i intend leavin 9ja on 1st so that i can see my cousin in Chicago maybe 4 2days b4 goin to skool in Virginia but if they won't allow me see her i better go straight to skool.

my friends got back from naija yesterday, they said security and questioning at the POE was crazy n hell. "Nigerians queued on different line for extra frisking" dont raise any suspicion, go straight to your school and you can visit your cousin during your vacation (at a later date).

you guys expect too much from a website. I dont find it dull. Just lacks more content and information.

-no profile on our national teams,
- pictures of people are not only what make up nff, no pictures of our stadiums and the likes. are they too ashamed to put in on the site?
- what about our local clubs, are they not under nff?

blah blah blah

Review what about it ? Isn't this an electric grime template? nothing to be said

guydudu:

You can move "Hello Guest Login | Signup" to the right end of the nav box

afam4eva:

Which is better, IMAP or SMTP

Dont get confused with the 2 protocols.
IMAP allows emails to be accessed remotely, while SMTP does the relay

yawa-ti-de:

I believe you can do pretty much the same with DW, homesite and the like. so, whenever you are on windows, try those out

Not a DW fan, used homesite for ColdFusion before I started with MAC and switched to PHP. moreso, development has been discontinued sometime around 2nd quarter of this year if i remember correctly.
wouldnt you need a license for DW?
