[PHP] Bad characters in a text field

[Manuel Ochoa]

I have a form with a text area that when submited, get stored in a text type field 
of a MySQL database. Occasionaly some of our users copy data from a DOS program and 
paste it in the text area which results in unwanted characters getting stored in the 
text field. What function can I use to strip out all but valid characters?
 
For example: I want to allow a-z ,A-Z, 0-9 and some others and strip out everything 
else.

Re: [PHP] File upload problem

[Manuel Ochoa]

There may be several reasons why it doesn't work but the first thing I noticed is that 
action is blank. You need to have this defined.
 John M [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Hello,

I have the code below. It's a simple file upload. But it doesn't work.
Before the line if(isset( $Submit )) is an echo which can I read. But after
choosing a file and press a submit nothing happens. Why is if(isset(
$Submit )) always false? Maybe my apache or php config is wrong?

I use WinXp Prof, Apache 2.0.43, PHP 4.2.3, safe_mode is on , upload_tmp_dir
is c:\tmp\ and upload_max_filesize is 2M in PHP config file.

Thanks!

echo Before submit

if ($_FILES['imagefile']['type'] == image/gif){

files/.$_FILES['imagefile']['name'])
or die (Could not copy);
echo Name: .$_FILES['imagefile']['name'].;
}
else {
echo ;
echo Could Not Copy, Wrong Filetype
(.$_FILES['imagefile']['name'].);
}
}
?

Re: [PHP] validate date

[Manuel Ochoa]

Here is a funtion that I use.
A user can enter a date in any of the following ways:
01 01 03
01-01-03
1-1-03
01-1-2003
1-01/03
1/1 03  you get the idea...
This function will standardize the date and make sure it's valid. If invalid it 
returns ERROR
function fixdate($data){
 $aux[0]=;
 $aux[1]=;
 $aux[2]=;
 $z=0;
 for($i=0; $istrlen($data); $i++) {
  if(is_numeric($data[$i])) {
   $aux[$z].=$data[$i];
  }
  else {
   $z++;
  }
 }
 if(strlen($aux[0])==1) {
  $aux[0]= 0.$aux[0];
 }
 if(strlen($aux[1])==1) {
  $aux[1]= 0.$aux[1];
 }
 if(strlen($aux[2])==2) {
  $aux[2]= 20.$aux[2];
 }
 $mdate= $aux[0]./.$aux[1]./.$aux[2];
 if(checkdate($aux[0], $aux[1], $aux[2])) {
  Return $mdate;
 }
 else {
  Return ERROR;
 }
}//function

I want to use checkdate but that needs the date split up into day, month
year.
Anyone have an easy way of doing this?
Thanks,

Re: [PHP] case statement?

[Manuel Ochoa]

Yes, It's called SWITCH

Just go to www.php.net and lookup switch in the function list

I was wondering if php had a case function?

Instead of building a large if/elseif/else block I would like to do a case
$page in (list).

Thanks in advance,

[PHP] Help with session variables

[Manuel Ochoa]

I'm running PHP 4.3 on a Windows .net server with Apache 2. Please look at the 
following code as I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Page1.
session_start();
session_register(step);
$step=1;
header(location: page_A.php);

Page_A.
session_start();
extract($_SESSION);
$step=2;
header(location: page_B.php);

Page_B.
session_start();
extract($_SESSION);
print($step);

Output is always 1. I thought that session variables were global? What am I doing 
wrong?

[PHP] phpMyadmin with global variables off

[Manuel Ochoa]

I just installed phpMyadmin and I'm getting a message that I have an undefined 
variable. Is this because I have global variables off?

Or in other words, should this program work the same regardless of whether global 
variables are on or off?

[Manuel Ochoa]
