BetterPHP

I had the same dilemma and went for the "mark as read" option. It is worth replying to them since people find the posts from searches. There are far too many posts to go through though so I decided to focus on the recent/new ones for now and maybe go back a few pages and reply to some inte...

So that mass mail thing did actually send then :) You would not believe the state of my inbox now from all the bounce back messages :P The was the same thing that kept me away too to be honest, for some reason I never really thought of cleaning up the mess from the database backend. I'll hopefully g...

You want to use round() on the profit [syntax=php]round($row['profit'])[/syntax] if that doesn't work can you post the code that you tried and the error it gave? In one example you multiply profit by ulog and in the other you don't. Could that be something to do with it? It might help to print out t...

I want to display only 343 and .34 to be hidden, how can i do that? Hidden from the main page, not in the phpmyadmin table. :D To make it show only the whole number part you can use round () [syntax=php]echo round(343.34);[/syntax] will output 343 For the other problem can you post a bit more of th...

Ah, password_verify was only added in php 5.5.0 so the only thing you can do is update.
The version you have is not supported any more so it's probably a good idea anyway.

That's great news :) The code only checks for how many posts have been posted since 1 day ago. So it will include any that are in the future as well. You could change it a bit to ignore future ones by adding a new condition [syntax=sql]SELECT COUNT(1) FROM `clanovi_njihovi_parovi` WHERE `racun` = {$...

Oh sorry. Okay so which part are you stuck with at the moment? Maybe if we break it down a bit it will make more sense.

Compile it? PHP scripts are not compiled, they just run each time the page gets loaded.

Hey, sorry for the delay.

A blank page normally means there is an error that's being hidden.

Try setting

display_errors = On

and

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_STRICT

in your PHP config and see if it shows anything up.

Glad you got it working, and thanks for sharing the solution

I'm not a huge expert in ASP but if you're just getting no results and not an error then it's probably something to do with the request. I'd start by checking the value of the str variable in JavaScript and the name variable in ASP. Also some general JavaScript debugging advice; the console tab in d...

I'm not sure what some of those word mean but you need to do a check using the query I posted above. Perhaps something like this $result = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(1) FROM `clanovi_njihovi_parovi` WHERE `racun` = {$racun} AND `datum` > DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)"); $row = mysql_fetch...

Looks cool, thanks for sharing

I'm not totally sure I understand the problem but you can get the number of posts a user has made in the last 24 hours using something like this.

SELECT COUNT(1) FROM `posts` WHERE `user_id` = ? AND `post_time` > DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)

That normally means there is something missing from your server config. Can you check the Apache logs and see if it says what's wrong.

If you are using a webhost provider it might be that they are blocking connections to the web.

The first thing to do would be to create a function that deletes a post given it's ID function delete_post($post_id){ // stuff! } The basic command you want to use is an SQL DELETE DELETE FROM `posts` WHERE `post_id` = 10; would remove post 10 for example. That should give you a nudge in the right d...

The spam accounts have now been cleared up with the help of some clever SQL. Ban all users that made a post today INSERT INTO `phpbb_banlist` (`ban_userid`, `ban_start`, `ban_reason`, `ban_give_reason`) SELECT `user_id`, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), 'Spambot', 'Spambot' FROM `phpbb_users` WHERE `user_id` IN (S...

I'm okay!

I basically had no time for anything fun for the last few years.

Normal service will (attempt) to resume once the forum has been tidied up

very nice to hear that. I think it's one of the advantages of a small community that people are generally nicer

Welcome Sounds like you started pretty much how I did

One advantage is the way you can store data in the instance of an object. For example the forum system I'm working on has a post class and a topic class. The topic class has a method to gets all of the posts on page X, this returns an array of post objects. The post class has methods to access the i...
