If by tree menu you mean to have a menu that interacts with the user and shows the branches, ie, sub-menus as the user clicks on items, then you can't do it with php obviously. OTOH - if you just want a menu with indents and choices similar to an 'outline' , then sure you can do it with php/html/css. But the JS ones are the sharpest ones. There's several out there for free too! ---End Message--- ---BeginMessage--- Look at it this way, PHP is just another scripting language, it processes data. That said PHP is not responsible for user interface , it just prints out what you tell him to , it can be HTML XML JSON etc presentation thing is eg HTML and CSS is for styling HTML, JS is to dynamically change structure of HTML or better to say DOM. Though there is a easy way to make menus with HTML5 and CSS3 but most current browsers don't support those new tech stuff , (most browsers do but user are not up to date with freshest ones) If there is a real reason not to use JS, can you make more specific example so we can help.

[PHP] Membership site
Hello, I am just starting out with PHP and I have just created a database named Members with a table named Persons. There are 5 fields (id,firstname, lastname, username, password) . The form I created is a sign up form and the values entered into the form are inserted into the table Persons, now my question is how do I create a secure log in system with this new database? Thanks in advance! :) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thanks in advance! :) Well, first, as a measure of security, make sure that you don't store the plain text password in the DB. Something like an md5($password . $email . $name) offers a rudimentary protection. For something a little meatier, try sha1(). Storing it this way means that even if someone gained access to your DB, they don't actually have the passwords, as people often reuse passwords on different sites. As to the login, you would accept the username and password combo, and then hash or encrypt the password with the salt again, and compare with the entry in the DB. It's typical to have a counter of incorrect logins as well. More than 3 in a row causes the login for that username to lock for a specific period of time. To achieve this, you would need to add a couple of fields to your Persons table, `attempts`(tinyint) `lock_time`(datetime). When you attempt to log someone in with the username and password (encrypted, hashed, whatever) you also check to see if the lock_time is not some time in the future. If it is, then you don't allow them access. If the password was wrong, then increment the attempts field by 1. If this field gets incremented to a specific value (say 3 for example) then you set the lock_time field to some date in the future, the wait period. When a user logs in successfully, set the attempts counter to 0 again so it's ready for the next login attempt to the account. This just ensures that people aren't accidentally locked out indefinitely! This is all just a rough sketch out of how I'd go about it, but it should be enough logic for you to put some code together. It's no more complex than a couple of queries and a few if statements. It may help you to flowchart the whole thing out to get the logic clear in your mind. -- Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
[PHP] PayPal IPN
Hey everyone,
So I know this is related pretty strictly to paypal... But I also know that you
all most likely use it :)
So with that said... Has anyone successfully setup the IPN with paypal? I'm
trying to figure out to get it up and working and can't seem to wrap my head
around it... But then again, I've been at it for a few hours so I'm hoping in
the morning it gets more clear!
Here is the test code that I am working with:
?PHP
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
$email = $_GET['ipn_email'];
$header = ;
$emailtext = testing 123;
// Read the post from PayPal and add 'cmd'
$req = 'cmd=_notify-validate';
if(function_exists('get_magic_quotes_gpc'))
{
$get_magic_quotes_exits = true;
}
foreach ($_POST as $key = $value)
// Handle escape characters, which depends on setting of magic quotes
{
if($get_magic_quotes_exists == true get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 1){
$value = urlencode(stripslashes($value));
} else {
$value = urlencode($value);
}
$req .= $key=$value;
}
// Post back to PayPal to validate
$header .= POST /cgi-bin/webscr HTTP/1.0\r\n;
$header .= Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n;
$header .= Content-Length: . strlen($req) . \r\n\r\n;
$fp = fsockopen ('ssl://www.sandbox.paypal.com', 443, $errno, $errstr,
30);//Test
//$fp = fsockopen ('ssl://www.paypal.com', 443, $errno, $errstr, 30);// Live
// Process validation from PayPal
// TODO: This sample does not test the HTTP response code. All
// HTTP response codes must be handles or you should use an HTTP
// library, such as cUrl
if (!$fp) { // HTTP ERROR
} else {
// NO HTTP ERROR
fputs ($fp, $header . $req);
while (!feof($fp)) {
$res = fgets ($fp, 1024);
if (strcmp ($res, VERIFIED) == 0) {
// TODO:
// Check the payment_status is Completed
// Check that txn_id has not been previously processed
// Check that receiver_email is your Primary PayPal email
// Check that payment_amount/payment_currency are correct
// Process payment
// If 'VERIFIED', send an email of IPN variables and values to the
// specified email address
foreach ($_POST as $key = $value){
$emailtext .= $key . = .$value .\n\n;
}
mail(pru...@gmail.com, Live-INVALID IPN, $emailtext . \n\n . $req);
//removed for testing
//mail($email, Live-VERIFIED IPN, $emailtext . \n\n . $req);
} else if (strcmp ($res, INVALID) == 0) {
// If 'INVALID', send an email. TODO: Log for manual investigation.
foreach ($_POST as $key = $value){
$emailtext .= $key . = .$value .\n\n;
}
mail(pru...@gmail.com, Live-INVALID IPN, $emailtext . \n\n . $req);
//Removed for testing
//mail($email, Live-INVALID IPN, $emailtext . \n\n . $req);
}
}
}
fclose ($fp);
?
Thanks everyone! Hoping to find a easy fix to it!

There's a chance I may have some old IPN code lying around, and definitely have Website Payments Pro code that I still use daily. That aside, PayPal has development community forums for PayPal-specific development: http://paypaldev.org/ . Give it a shot. If it doesn't work, I'll see what code I still have, but you'll totally owe me a 50-yardline shot from the Swamp. -- /Daniel P.
