It sounds like you need an exact match; note that your regex is matching
against substrings, thus additional invalid characters are allowed to pass.
Anchor the pattern, so that it essentially says From beginning to end, the
only chars allowed are one or more digits, optionally followed by the
combination of a period then two more digits. (The ^ and $ special
chars are anchors.)
A regex special character loses it specialness when it's either escaped
with a backslash, or included within a square-bracketed character class;
you don't need to do both.
The {1} is implied; you don't need it.
if (preg_match(/^\d+(\.\d{2})?$/, $form_data[amount]))
{echo Validated!;}

If it was the only the external stylesheet that wasn't working, the first thing to do would be to check that Apache is configured to the right content type (text/css) for it and that the PHP code isn't doing anything silly like sending the dynamically-generating the *.css page with a header() declaring a different content type; but with the inline styles also not working, that scenario would either be unlikely or only part of the story. Have the HTML and CSS both been validated yet? If the output of your PHP includes syntactically-flawed HTML, that could lead to problems with the CSS rendering as well. And of course, invalid CSS will not render as expected. This final thought may already be obvious to you, but is there any chance that the styles you're using are either not supported by your browser, or that your page's doctype has accidentally triggered the browser's less-forgiving standards mode?

You're trying to match one or more characters in the class, so add a +.
And you're not concatenating the expression 'constant($2)' with anything,
so lose the extra periods. Parentheses aren't needed around the equals

Does this sounds feasible or is there another way to generate a dynamic

For this purpose, substitute __LINE__ for __FUNCTION__, and you're in
business. A line number is less revealing to an end-user anyway than a
function name (you don't want Error in function 'log_private_user_info()'
showing up). But it's more specific abouty pinpointing the place (or last
possible place, anyway) that script went wrong. In a functions several
hundred lines long and with control structures defining many possible paths
through it, knowing only that the function had an error *somewhere
(unknown)* isn't very helpful.
A step up would be to use the error handling functions instead
http://php.net/errorfunc. Then you can customize which errors get
reported to the user, under what circumstances, how, whether to forward the
reports to you as well, plus the opportunity to know the context (set
variables and their values) in which the error occured.

Don't they get removed by the parser's handling of double-quoted strings
long before anything makes it to preg_match()?
I almost always use the braces when inserting variables inside string
literals, just to avoid any chance of ambiguity.
There's no ambiguity here since parentheses aren't legal in variable names,
so the curly braces are just excess. Given the braces' significant as
special regex characters, it can be a confusing distraction in this
context, especially for newbies trying to grasp simply regex syntax.
Better to save the braces for where they're needed to tell the parser or
programmer how to interpret ambiguous code.

I need to be able to strip the quotes and everything between them and the
signs from the first one and then the name and the signs from the
second.
Does anyone know how to do this quickly and easily?
http://php.net/preg-replace. For example:
preg_replace('/^.*(.+).*$/',$1,$mailstring);
Whoops. Hit send too quickly. That should be:
$newstring=preg_replace('/^.*(.+).*$/',$1,$mailstring);
Note that this is *just* an example. It will break where there are
multiple addressees, a less-than sign in the addressee's name, etc.

I was writing a slashdot RSS-parser for my homepage, and wrote a simple

Here's the core reading the remote file:
$fp = @fopen(http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rdf;, r);
if (!$fp) { return 0; }
$raw = fread($fp, 1);
fclose($fp);
Now, it seems like slashdot is doing som on-the-fly gzip-compression (it
sends a Content-Encoding: gzip-header), and that fopen can't cope with
this, and I'm stuck with some binary data. I've tried using
gzuncompress() on the returned data, but that resulted in an error (not
valid gzip-data).
Since no one else has responded yet, I'm going to take a wild guess that
your browser's Accept headers are being used on the fopen() request,
leading the slashdot server to believe that your script can process gzipped
data...? FWIW, I'd try using fsockopen() instead, explicitely setting
Accept (probably to text/html, text/xml, and text/rss--if the latter is a
valid content type).
BTW, you should take out that @ sign, turn error_reporting all the way up
to E_ALL, and add some error checking. Just in case PHP already knows what

Someone, that is, who can deliberately bring down their server without getting kicked off permanently? Meanwhile... If this allows a DoS attack, then this is a very real security problem. Why should it? Even if there is a verifiable bug allowing time/memory limits to be exceeded when header() goes into an infinite loop, how could someone exploit this from the outside? If a scripter is letting any random web visitor put their script into an infinite loop, then the results are at *least* as much the scripter's fault as PHP's. Ditto for the scripter who sets the infinite loop himself while allowing the web user to specify what function gets executed in the loop. And if neither of these is happening, then where's the DoS? As has already been pointed out, someone bringing down their own server with their own code, isn't a DoS. It's usually poor coding, and _possibly_ (see above) attributable to a bug, but it's not a DoS. As far as I can tell, the only security problem here is the usual one: figuring out who is clueful enough and responsible enough to be trusted with access to operations which can compromise the server.

So you'd also have to strip all event handlers from each tag. Then there's the javascript: pseudo-protocol; so you'd also have to check the href value of all anchor tags to make sure they're not not invoking javascript.

Instead of using the 'global' keyword, use the $GLOBALS array:

A) Have you already confirmed that a valid database connection was made?
B) String values in mysql have to be quoted. For example, where
foo='bar' or where foo like 'bar%'.
C) Error checking on database operations is a really good idea. Even just
a short or die() on the mysql_* calls can help you track down problems
much more effectively. For example:
$result=mysql_query($sql) or die(MySQL reports error: . mysql_error() .

You can see exactly what the complete query string looks like, and also copy/paste it to the commandline for further testing. The % are not necessary? because id is an auto_increment number from 0 to 1,000+. The like keyword is used with a wildcard operator, either % or _. If you're matching against an exact value, then use the = operator instead of like. See the MySQL manual for more info on the like keyword and wildcards.

That's true, the URL does not appear there as a single preset variable; it's up to you to re-assemble a URL out of the variables that are available, and thus the need to scan the vars phpinfo() has to offer. Since you're using PHP as a CGI, somewhat different variables get set than when PHP is run as a module, so a call to phpinfo() is the best way to identify the right vars for accomplishing your task. Question: before you dismissed phpinfo() as useless, did you call it and look at what's there?

PHP's loose typing means that !$somevar evalutes as true if the variable is null, if it has an (integer, float, or string) value of zero, if it's an empty string, or if it is set to boolean false. Or if the variable/index does not exist. Both methods have their place (though for tests of the latter, I prefer empty()). The important part is understanding the implications of a method when you use it, so that your code isn't wrongly relying on !$somevar to mean the variable isn't set; it may well have been set, to a meaningful value which just happens to evaluate to false. -- CC -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
