PHP Cron script stops in the middle unexpectedly

I have a cron php script set to run. The script itself take very long to complete, about 40-50 minutes. It uses passthru() to run the linux command wget to download a file, and to output the progress. When I run the page trough the browser it runs about 40-50 minutes until it completes. When I let c...

Re: replace small tag with pixel size

The <SMALL> tag is shorthand for <FONT SIZE="-1">. The sizes vary a lot accross browsers and OS's. A table sowing them can be found here: http://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol3/design_no8.htm.

SELECT from MULTIPLE tables (not JOIN)

This might be easy, but google didn't help. I need to select rows from 2 tables but not to join them (I need to append one to the other), I want to select them as if I selected them from the first, then selected them from the second, and do an ORDER BY then a LIMIT. For example, 2 tables (and their ...

Re: php redirect

We did not give you the complete solution, but we did give you the biggest piece of the puzzle. Here, add this to the beginning of whatever page you want you check in: if(preg_match('#^https?://www\.#i', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) {     header("HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently");     exit(); }

Re: Not extracting files use phpZip

Try extracting a normal zip file, not an uploaded one to see that the zip unarchiving functions do indeed work as expected.

Re: Indent PHP Echoes With HTML

PHP only lines are not outputted at all. You should always keep your html and php on different lines, so that the html lines contain their own tabs: <div> <? if($someUglyVariable) { ?>     <b>I HAVE A TABS BEFORE ME!!</b> <? } ?> </div> Except small php insertion codes, or ugly but practical cases w...

Re: php redirect

As jaoudestudios points out, header redirects trough Location header is bad SEO practice. Instead send the 301 status code response:

Code: Select all

header("HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently");

Re: How can retrieve Special Characters from a database table

Usually the best way is to always work with UTF-8 encoding. Simply call this after you connect to the database (it sets the default encoding). Also make sure the text encodings in the database are all set to utf-8.

Code: Select all

mysql_query('SET NAMES utf8');

Re: strip_tags in PHP

It's the length check you do on the string:

Code: Select all

if(empty($val) or strlen($val) > 40)
The string"<p>Test paragraph.</p><!-- Comment --> Other text" is 49 chars in length.

You might want to check the length after you've stripped the tags.

Re: Numeric value getting through

You've already checked for the v_number in the database, the second check should simply be of the number of rows returned by the statement. Replace this line: if (isset($_POST['v_number_1']) && ($_POST['v_number_1'])=== $row_GetVouchers1['v_number']) { with this if (isset($_POST['v_number_1'...

Re: String Replace Problem

You could do a negative look-behind regexp:

Code: Select all

$output = preg_replace('#(?<!-)Edu-Cess#', '0', $input);
The (?<! ) is the negative look-behind group.

Re: strip_tags in PHP

You have set the <form>'s action to "secureTextBox.php", however you have the php code on the same page as the form. Is the script's name "secureTextBox.php" ? You should leave action="" or not set it at all if you want it to go to the same page, in case you ever change...

Re: Numeric value getting through

however 0 lets it pass
What does 'lets it pass' mean? Does it print 'is valid' or 'not valid'?
