[PHP-DB] Re: Using sessions to gather visitor information
the time difference is most likely becuase your server is in a different
time zone, or is at least set to a different time zone. When you run your
time calculations, you can add something like this:
$now = (time() - 18000);
that would give you the time on the server minus 5 hours. Now I don't know
the difference between time() and localtime() so I don't know how that will
affect the output.

I am trying to track the users that visit one page on a site. I am having
a
couple of problems. The time seems to be 5 hours off. I do not have any
tables as of yet what I would like to do is only count an ip address as
one
in a 24 hour period, if more than one visit then update visit count.I have
played around with the time using date() and localtime(). Here is what I
have sofar.
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL ~E_NOTICE);
session_start();
$_SESSION['ip_address'] = $IP;
$_SESSION['user_agent'] = $Browser;
$_SESSION['host_name'] = $Host;
$_SESSION['visit_time'] = $now;
$now = localtime();
$now = $now[2] . : . $now[1] . : . $now[0];
$IP = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
$Browser = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$Host = getHostByName($IP);
I have not setup tables yet but I think I will use this:
vid init(5) not null auto_incriment
ip varchar(25) null
agent varchar(100) null
host varchar(100) null
time varchar(10) nul
visitcount int(100) null
when a visitor loads the page I can run this
mysql_query(SELECT ip, time FROM tablename where
ip=$_SESSION['ip_address']
and time=$_SESSION['visit_time'])
I would like to query if $_SESSION['ip_address'] has visited in less then
24
hours then kill session and close mysql connection. If last visit was more
than 24 hours update time and add +1 to visitcount. If new visit add to
table.
Once all done how can I properly clean up the session. I have tried the
following bur get an error
unset($_SESSION);
session_destroy();
I tried this with a link to another page and got this error:
Warning: session_destroy(): Trying to destroy uninitialized session in
/home/content/html/killtest.php on line 5
I assume I forgot something.
Any help would be appreciated.

depending on the size I guess you could run a foreach loop
ex.

foreach ($ringb as $val) {
print x[$num] = '$val';\n;
$num += 1;
}
so it pretty much just cycles through your array and prints it out in

[PHP-DB] Re: Checkboxes in a table
just set the checked value of the check boxes to something like, true, and
when you are going through the check boxes in the second script do something
like this:
$boxes = array();
$num = 0;
foreach ($_POST['checkboxe'] as $box) {
if ($box == 'true') {
$boxes[$num] = 'checked';
} else {
$boxes[$num] = 'unchecked';
}
$num += 1;
}
Now the array $boxes has the values for all the checkboxes, if they were
checked or not.
NOTES: This is just a quick script, I don't know if it'll work for you
perfectly, but you should always start at 0, not 1, so that the first value
in the array is not null.
anyway, hope this helps.

Hi!!
I'm dinamically building a table, within a while cycle a build each row
with it's columns.
One of these columns contains a checkbox, so I have as many checkboxes
as many rows.
So, after hitting Submit I wanna know which checkboxes has been
selected, I'm naming each of them like this: checkbox[n], where n=1 is
for the first row and so on.
So, my question is, upon receiving all the variables in the second
script, if I navigate thru each of the elements, I will see which one is
selected and which one is not?
Am I all right??
