Hi all, this is my first function and as part of a script and i just want to know a couple of
things. here is the code for the function: CODE <? function
clean($dirty_string) { $muddy_string = stripslashes($dirty_string);
$murky_string = strip_tags($muddy_string); $clean_string =

SQL injections and any email ab...

Basically, I want to know if the Data I'm inserting through a Form is already there or not. Sort

I've been reading through my old php book (PHP 4.1) and came across this data validation class.
It can check a number of things ranging from telephone numbers , credit card number formats, email
address and some others. I checked out some of the methods although I didnt expect it to work 100%
because I've found source code errors thoughout the book and CD. I tested out a few of the
methods to check and some of them did return expected results but some didnt either so the data
validation class was not perfect and it didnt really bother me. The cool thing I found...

Ok i can't believe I need help in php but I can't figure this out... If i have an array,
lets say called test, how do i get a certain value from that array when referencing it dynamically
by either a string or another variable? Example: CODE $test=array(1,2,5);
$name="test"; //Doesn't work: echo $$name[0]; /Doesn't
work: echo ${$name}[0]; ...

I need help on a join, I think I have it mostly done, but I know my syntax isn't right. First
off, to give you an idea, I have two tables, plus my session variables. I'm first selecting from
the table: user_resources where the user_id = that of the $_SESSION's, and in
user_resources, there are three fields, user_id, resource_id, and amount, and I wish to print all of
this. But the hitch to it is, resource_id is an integer. In another table called resources, are the
fields id and name. The resource_id = resources.id, and I want to print the name associat...

The thing that has been bugging me for a while was that switch statement that we use to create ID
browsing (some use If-Ifelse but results are the same for both). I wanted to figure out a way to use
more dynamic switch statement so that i only need to update my links array in order to create links
for template. With use of foreach, array_keys, and in_array functions finally i managed to do so.
Also i'm planing on changing foreach with array_walk but i'll do that later. Now for the
code.. First we create an associative array something like this CODE $gl...

Okay so what Im trying to figure out is how I would go about giving the people to uh, well for
examplkes sake it would be like "how many cats do you have" then theyd fill in a number, submit and
the next page would print out boxes for as many cats they have that will be too fill in a color of

many they said they have, and then their final "reciept" will only print out stuff for as many as

In the Head portion of an Html file, there are usually several Meta Tags that contain data about
various things, like the tag for keywords, an Author's name or maybe a description field. Here
are two example Meta tags: HTML meta name =" Keywords " content=" keyword1, keyword2 " />
meta name =" Description " content=" A Description of the file's content is here " /> So,
what I have a question about concerns checking a file to see what information is included in these
tags and using that information as variables or content in the output of the page...

Have been trying to solve this for a long time now, so I thought I´d give you guys a chance to break

to remove and then it´s supposed to remove it. Quite simple, that´s why I cant see why it doesnt

I know how to send back the check-boxes, so that's not the issue. I have a form that contains a
group of 5 check-boxes. The user could select none, one, all, or any combination in between.
I'm working on form validation right now and am doing most of it server side. The validation is
set so that if the user has to go back all their data is retained. I'm using case statements,
which work wonderfully, but in this circumstance I don't know what would be the best method that
allows for a multitude of combinations. I think there is a possibility of somethi...
