No appears to be the answer using
[syntax=php]
if(isset($_SESSION['user_id']) && ((int)$_SESSION['user_id'] === (int)$_GET['id'])) { // if session exists and is === $_GET['id']
[/syntax]

Seems strange to me though - Thanks for your help.

Hi Libeco, I know it checks the type which is why it confused me, I'm setting the $_SESSION which is in the code already posted and the $_GET['id'] is already validated to be an integer. So as they are not treated as the same if i use the (int) on them won't it just set the "non-integar" v...

I was just using this code to validate a $_GET variable against a session user_id and I noticed that when I use the '===' it fails as if to say they are not equal but the '==' says they are equal. I know the difference between them but I don't understand why === fails. Does anybody know [syntax=php]...

Thanks Libeco

Hi, I was just wondering what is the difference between these 2 queries (if any) [syntax=php] if(isset($_GET['a']) && (strlen($_GET['a'])) == 32 && (ctype_alnum($_GET['a']))) { //****** AND ********// if(isset($_GET['a']) && strlen($_GET['a']) == 32 && ctype_alnum($_G...

Yeah - thanks Jacek

I think it might have been because i'm storing the password in binary so that's why the client didn't return the row when using the password value. Not sure though, thanks for the help.

Hmm, still the same, I'm at a loss.
This is as simple I can make the query and it still fails
[syntax=sql]
SELECT `firstName` FROM `users` WHERE `password` = '544sd4a5d4as5d4fsd4f'
[/syntax]

Yeah I did try that, same result. I don't know whether to be pleased that i'm not going mad or disappointed that it isn't just an oversight. I don't see what's wrong with the pword column :S

Hi, I'm driving myself mad here, I've written a login script which isn't working so I thought I'll go into my PHPmyAdmin and use the client. My email and username return no results using this query: [syntax=sql] SELECT id, firstName FROM users WHERE (`email` = 'myemail@example.com' AND `password`= '...

Thanks for your help Jacek

I've never really used video before and with iphone/ipad etc outlaw on flash I'm just thinking of the best way to do something. I want to build your standard site, but registered people get a new part of the website that is private where they can view some of my videos. I was just thinking what's th...

Thanks for your help earlier, I'm actually pretty close to accomplishing it. I've got a couple of snags though that I hoped somebody might be able to put me straight on. I'm going to paste my HTML and CSS for closer inspection (apologies as it's fairly long for something like this) [syntax=xhtml]<di...

ahhh ok, thanks Jacek.

I'll give it a whirl - thank you

Morning, CSS is not my favourite thing but I'm alight at it (just about :d). I'm trying to build a LinkedIn style menu bar which looks like this in case you don't know. http://i53.tinypic.com/w2im0z.png I'm just trying to think about the logic behind it. And wanted some idea if this is the right log...

How silly

Thanks

Hello I'm inserting some data from a CSV and loading the file through MYSQL. Which works fine, but i have some longitude and latitude values with 5 decimal places, but every time I insert the file, the decimal places get stripped to 2 decimal places. I've been through my CSV and formatted all the de...

Hmmm, yes i thought that i'd possibly have to go down the session route. Thanks for your help Jacek, I'll get on the session approach

I'm not sure its possible the way I have it set up.

My verify.php file generates the random string

In my contact.php file within the <form> tags i call the script as an image so:
<img src="verify.php" />

So on that basis I can't validate the input can i? :s

I've built a random generated captcha for a contact form, so It creates a random 5 letter string and then creates an image. I then call this script as an image source from my contact page. But I need to verify the correct input of the captcha. I'm using a self verifying contact form so contact.php p...

Hmmm, it would appear that I chose to ignore that link. Possibly because it had quirks mode in the url. thanks
