Can someone point me to hardware that is still in active use that can't handle javascript? I don't think it's hardware that was problem with javascript. Similarly, can someone point me to a company that specifically disables javascript as 'corporate policy'? Back in 96-97, the 'no javascript' argument held, and probably holds today some if you're targetting handhelds and other 'non standard' devices. But if someone specifically disables Javascript these days, a good portion of their web experience will not be as robust as it would otherwise be, and they probably won't notice that using your site is any worse than any other site. Rather it was Microsoft's numerous bugs and vulnerabilities within IE which lead people to disable scripting. And of course annoying pop-up windows are another major reason to disable javascript. Konqueror is the only browser (that I've used) which supports per-site javascript policy (deny, allow, disable pop-ups). IMO, it's now like targetting only websafe colors because some people might only browse in 256 colors. If they do that, about 80% of the web's content will look like crap anyway, and they won't specifically think my stuff looks all that much worse than anyone else's. You're comparing apples with spades. I think with most browsers, people need to make a conscious decision to disable javascript (ie it's enabled by default). In other words these people /should/ know what they're doing by disabling it. On the other hand I don't think many people would actively choose to browse in 256 colours when any machine less than 3 years old would most definitely support true colour. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * /* The strong give up and move away, while the weak give up and stay. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

For example, pulling everything except the word run from the water run was steep. a) Use str_replace(), search for 'run ' (or ' run') and replace with ''. b) explode() the string, put 'run' (and any other words you don't want) into an array, then use array_diff() Pull all words from a string starting with a specific letter or pattern. For example, pulling all of the words starting with the letter r from run beep burp ran rin ron runt zoot zip pow a) explode() the string, loop through array check 1st char of each element.

Re: [PHP] Is it possible to verify that a form submision is not being spoofed?

Then when the post comes back, make sure the hidden is there and that it matches the one in the session. But the flaw in that is if the nasty user was determined, there's nothing to stop them from: 1) looking at the source of the legitimate page 2) grabbing the 'hidden' value 3) creating their own form along with that hidden value 4) opening a new window 5) loading their own form and submit away. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * /* People say I live in my own little fantasy world... well, at least they *know* me there! -- D.L.

Re: [PHP] verify file before linking to another
On Wednesday 01 May 2002 23:45, Jas wrote: I am wondering if there is a good tutorial or example of code on how to verify that a page has been hit before linking to the next. For example say you have a form, the form once all fields have been filled links to a confirmation page then from there it links to a thank you page which inserts data to a text file, how can one verify that someone is not just typing in the name of the last page and therefore inserting a blank entry into the text file? Any help would be great. With php you can do all that using a single page.

Re: [PHP] Header Information for Formatting?

Yesterday, thanks to this list, we found a way to open a worksheet in the browser and display data retrieved from a database. The worksheet opens with no gridlines and displaying zero values, I would like to see gridlines and no zero values. Are there options that can be placed in the header function. I have looked at MSDN and did a Google search that did not reveal much of anything. Here is the header info being used... header(Content-Type: application/x-excel); header(Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\excel.xls\); header(Expires: 0); header(Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0); M$ Excel is not a browser (not yet anyway, and hopefully it doesn't evolve into one), thus http headers are not pertinent to how Excel displays it's data.
