With the initial explode, I may be wrong but I don't think it's possible to
force every entry to be string-typed. However, this little snippet could
help:
$foo = explode(';', $db);
foreach($foo as &$bar) {
$bar = settype($bar, 'string);
}
which will set each element's type to string, but is hardl

You were right. :)
I did not plan on looking-in anything other than one or two hard-coded
folder locations. But, it is good to know the details. ;)

First of all make sure you are sending both strings through realpath
(http://php.net/realpath) to remove any symbolic links and relative
references. Then you can compare the two strings. The way you're doing
it will work but it's probably not very efficient. This is what I use...

Hi,
I am looking for the most secure/efficient way to compare these two strings:
/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/
/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/file.php
Basically I am trying to setup as many security features as possible for
a simplistic (home-grown/hand-coded) CMS...

Hi folks,
well, I have a really dumb question:
I have the following script at http://www.tisys.org/misc/test.php:
Now I call it like this:
http://www.tisys.org/misc/test.php?
license=0701770160811371731660412452242420381052542100071831272071031621
17160180165221170166096217228128
And in
if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
//echo "post equals".$_POST['x']." corect is".$correct_answers[$page-1];
$compare1 = $_POST['x'];
echo "page is".$page;
$compare2 = $correct_answers[($page-1)];
echo "compare1 is ".$compare1;
echo "";
echo "compare2 is ".$compare2;
if (strcmp($compare1, $compare2
strcmp returns 0 if the two strings are equal.
In any case, why not just do
if ($city == $city_new) $error = true;

Hi there,
I would like to compare 2 strings.
I do always get a 0 return (not equal) but they are difinatelly equal, I
double checked it. They are just in two different vars.
Here is how I did it:
if (strcmp($city, $city_new) != 0) $error = true;
Does anybody see the error? Or am I going the
I feel fairly new to this as well but I think that, whilst your logic is
right, the syntax may be a little off.
if ($action == "textstring)
{
echo "true";
}
else
{
echo "false";
}
Above should show how the syntax will rok.
Good luck

Bear with me, new to PHP and got a beginner's questions
How do I run an if statement and the if statement compares a String?
IN ASP (yes I Know, ASP is evil) I would have wrote
if (String(Request("Action"))=="Submit")
do this
In PHP I have tried
if ($Action == "Submit") but I get a par
24 matches
