Is there a mothod to check string`s length with regex or the only way is
using strlen?
I want string consisting of 4 digits
and check string with this code:
if (preg_match("/\d{4}/",$_POST[id]))
{ echo $_POST[id]; }
but preg_match returns true when string consists of 4 or more digits
You could change the regex to use start/end anchors. Also, the trailing
comma in the length specifier bit means "4 or more" Eg:
if (preg_match("/^\d{4,}$/", $_POST['id'])){
echo $_POST['id'];
}

To check only 4 digit, you have to specify max lengh of the string in
length specifier..
if (preg_match("/\d{4,4}/",$_POST[id]))
{ echo $_POST[id]; }

I want string consisting of 4 digits
and check string with this code:
if (preg_match("/\d{4}/",$_POST[id]))
{ echo $_POST[id]; }
but preg_match returns true when string consists of 4 or more digits
Yes you can, but why do it this way? What advantage is it over the
following?
Given that this isn't a real intense regex, I don't know how much you
will save, but you could also do this.
if ( strlen(intval($_POST['id'])) == 4 ) {
echo $_POST['id'];
}
Not sure about speed, but it might be a little faster if you are looking
for performance.

Hi Nick,
Sorry, but I forgot to tell you that I can't use this exec neither
system commands because they are disabled for security precautions. So, Do
you have any other ideas on how can I do that?
Thanks for your help,

If you have system() access, use something in the exec() family
(and be sure to properly sanitize that). Otherwise, there is probably
a PEAR or PECL module that will do the work for you.

Unfortunately I don't have any other ideas. Since PHP's implementation
of ZIP does not have password features you're left with the following
options:
* Write your own implementation based on RFC
* Write an interface to another app which can zip the file for you
* Something else I can't think of ;x
Sorry I don't have any other ideas.

Nick,
I thank you help! But unfortunalety I didn't find way to do this. I'll
continue trying. If you have any other idea, I'll appreciate to hear!

Unfortunately I don't have access to this family of methods because security

I'm sure you know what you're doing, but maybe you'd be better off
letting us know the task / process to better understand what you'd like
to accomplish. From there, since it's obvious that PHP does not have
built in password functions, and that exec() is out of the question;
maybe we can figure out how to move onward.

Rob,
A few years ago, I developed a full-on inventory management system
(with barcode printing and assignment, as well as scanning) and found
that with Code 39 I didn't have the issue, but when using UPC or some
other format, I often had to convert the code to string(). Then
insert the data into a CHAR or VARCHAR column, because to most
systems, INT 001234 is equal to INT 1234, but with more overhead,
which is then normally trimmed.

zerofill is the way - the stupid but works way is to store the barcodes
backwards :D or indeed base convert them from 10 to 32..

Just to let you know, if you're using sessions, you're using
cookies. You're not setting the data in the client-side cookie, but a
cookie is still installed on the system containing the PHPSESSID.

Hi everybody,
I need help with sessions.
I have a simple authentification relying only on
sessions (i don't use cookies). After the user submits
his username and password, the script checks if that
corresponds to a record in a mysql table. If this is
the case "$_SESSION['sessioname'] = $_POST['login'];".
the $_SESSION['sessioname'] is checked in subsequent
pages to see if the user is connected or not.
The problem is after the user logs out, and after that
uses the previous button of the browser he becomes
connected. How can i prevent this please.
Here is my logout.php:
<?php
session_start();
unset($_SESSION["sessioname"]);
session_destroy();
header("location: index.php");
?>
That will destroy the session, but not the browser history.
You'll need javascript to alter window history.
Google "window.history.forward"
Here's one link that may help:

I don't think they are "reconnected". What happens if they logout, then
hit back, then hit refresh? Are they loggedin? Probably not. It may
just appear that way because the back bottom brings up a cache of the
previous page. But once the user tries to do anything that requires
that they be loggedin, I doubt they can.

Well, i'm doing all that. Maybe something is wrong in
my code. I'll arrange my code in a way that it will be
easy to run and i'll post it. I think like that,
you'll see by yourself and you gonna help to fix that
for sure.

It can't move the file to the $target location, or maybe the file wasn't
uploaded properly in the first place.
What's in $_FILES['uploaded']['error'] ?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) {
// Error
echo "File was uploaded!";
} else {
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
chmod($target, 0755);
Files do not need to be 0755, they should be 0644 unless you want them
to actually run something (eg they are a shell script or perl script
that you'd run from the cmd line).

According to php docs it's always a multi-dimensional array:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
The 'uploaded' is what you call the file input in your form.

You say that like I care about non-open-source databases. It's not PDO's
fault that Oracle still thinks it's 1988. :-)
Even if you're just using MySQL, PDO is far nicer than ext/mysql and
ext/mysqli is not widely installed enough to be useful for those of us who
have to deal with shared hosts.

You say that like you're the only person using PHP for databases. ;-)
Perhaps you don't care; some of us do. (SQL Server in my case, not Oracle.)
I like the idea of PDO, but I don't like the way a couple things work with
regard to parameterized queries and some things just flat out don't work
right.

You can STFW and RTFM. This list should never be your first place
to ask simple questions.
In any case....
<?
$split = explode('.',strtolower($fileName));
$name = $split[0];
$ext = $split[1];
?>

Flame job aside, that's going to fail on a compound extension such as
".tar.gz" by just returning .tar

so.
it.will.fail.this.one.to.txt
and a fix would also fail because you would have to hardcord everygoddamn
ending if thats what youre after. How many do you care to count for?
I would say stick with the last dot, if its not particulary often you stumble
over those .tar.bz2 endings.
what does he want to upload anyway?
Oi you, whats yer task?

You could also stick with the first, i.e.:
<?
$split = explode('.',strtolower($fileName),1);
$name = $split[0];
$ext = $split[1];
