BetterPHP

Hey guys, I hope you're doing well. I was following the user profile tutorial and i'm getting an error message which I can't figure out. Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\user_system\core\inc\user.inc.php on line 31 I understand that it...

Hey guys, I hope you're all doing well. I have two problems. 1. I've followed the tutorials for creating a registration/login system with the activation codes. It all seems to work fine but when I enter the activation code it doesn't seem to delete the row in the `user_activations` table. 2. I tried...

Hey guys, I hope you're all doing well. Would it be possible to upload the working code for all of the tutorial videos? I'd like to play with some of the code but don't want to go back through the tutorial again at this moment in time. I would like to make a website with the registration/login/user ...

Ah ok. I kind of need someone who can dedicate some time designing a new social network from scratch. The project has the scope to be very large but all the features won't be implemented from day one. I kind of had a coder but he's just too busy and doesn't really get back to me on anything. I think...

Hey guys, I hope you're all good.

I'm looking for a coder to develop a website for me (paid). My preference is for Jacek but I understand he may be too busy so I've decided to post here too.

let me know if you're interested.

Thanks Jacek.

I was having problems setting up php on my linux comp but this works on my mac now so it's all good.

Thanks.

Hey Jacek,

I've just reinstalled linux on a laptop I have and wanted to install the validator. I've downloaded the file but how do I add it?

Thanks
Sal

Hey guys, I'm also trying to setup php on linux. I've installed lampp and have it running but can't seem to modify permissions for htdocs. What I have done; 1. Downloaded xampp from apachefriends 2. Installed it into /opt/lampp/ 3. started lampp opt/lampp/start start (I think) (when I goto localhost...

Hey guys, hope you're all doing well.

I'm thinking of buying a php book and was just wondering if anyone has any good suggestions?


Also I've seen a few books online but they're a few years old. How much has changed on the last few years in the world of PHP?

Thanks
Sal

Hey, Thanks for the feedback Jacek. It makes sense and definitely makes the code more organised. I've made a few modifications to the earlier script so it's a little tidier now but it's still probably not the best, because.. 1. I'm echoing data from user.inc.php. (is this a problem?) 2. I removed th...

Hey guys, I wrote a basic script that allows anybody to write a comment and post it. The comments are displayed under the post form and the number of displayed comments can be modified by the user. I'm going to post the code because i'm kind of proud of writing it considering i'm still a PHP beginne...

Hey,

Thanks Tino. A simple solution that I probably would have overlooked due to lack of experience.

Appreciated.
Sal

Hey,

Yea kind of, but is there a way to set a default value? I tried to use value="8" to define 8 as default but also allow users to also change that figure.

If there is i'd appreciate the answer. If not i'll have a think about it and try something different.

Thanks for the info.

Hey, This is me practicing so it's not although great. Saying that, even if it was my best attempt it probably wouldn't be all that great. Index.php [syntax=php] <?php include ('connect.inc.php'); $display = $_POST['display']; if (isset($_POST['name'], $_POST['comment'])) { add_comment($_POST['name'...

Hey, thanks for you're reply. You're right, I just tried it and it does work without the apostrophes if I use a variable. However, i'm also trying to allow users to select the number of posts to be displayed. If I create an <input type="input" name="display" value="8" /...

Hey guys, I've just been playing around with a quick comment posting script I wrote. It basically allows users to post a message with a name and comment, and shows the last 10 comments underneath sorted by 'date' order. the query is: [syntax=php]$query = "SELECT `post_id`, `user_name`, `user_co...

Hey, Maybe someone can expand because i'm pretty new to PHP, but you're using a tripple === whereas Jacek uses a double == in his tutorials. Maybe that's why it's failing? === checks if the value and type are the same, whereas == checks if the values are the same without necessarily being the same d...

Thanks Dom and Jacek, one less thing to worry about tonight lol

And the validator doesn't seem to be compatible on firefox for Mac.

"The awkward moment you wished you had windows?"

Hey guys, two quick questions.

1. I've seen that Jacek uses a program to check his html code during tutorials. What is it called?

2. What does init stand for in init.inc.php. It's kind of bothering me.

Thanks
Sal

Hey guys, I've basically been through the register/login tutorial and the profile tutorial, and both are working. However, both of the tutorials aren't interlinked so i'm a little confused about the best way to link them. I'm guessing I need to set the uid as a session variable but just not sure how...

Thanks Jacek.

Can't wait till I get some more experience so I can spot these stupid mistakes.

Appreciated.
