Anyone have a good eregi filter for passwords?

well, for one thing, don't use ereg. Use pcre, as it is faster.

preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9]{5,16}$/',$blah);
that will validate a password containing only upper or lowercase letters 
and numbers, between 5 and 16 characters.

because it would be bloat, basically. We now have file_put_contents in 
php5, which I like...but still view as bloat. You can easily enough use 
fopen and fwrite to add content to the csv file.

Here's what i have done.  i have downloaded a very simple database manager
from www.hotscripts.com.  It allows me to edit, delete and add new
information to the database.  i have a couple of problems.
1.  form field dont fill with all the data senback from the db to be edited,
as fars as i am aware all fields except 'review' are long enough
2. In my common.php file for connecting to the db i have



$database=mysql_connect ("localhost", "blah", "") or die ('I cannot
connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("***_vinrev");
$tablename="albums";
?>
I have 2 tables in my database and would like to use a "drop down menu" to
select the table we wish to view and edit.  so taken $tablename out of the
common.php file and having it sset within the main navigation.  i am pretty
sure i can set the drop down menu option but what is/would be the  $query
for returning how many and display table names?
Cheers

your probably looking for something like 'show tables'.

Well, yes.. But chanses aren't all that big you'll find any bugs (at least

I've ran into many. The ones that really take the cake are the streams 
bugs, which have been around since the inception of socket support.

MySQL and PHP is very good friends.. :)

 

PHP on windows platforms isn't as good as it 'could be'. A lot of the 
windows oriented bugs go unfixed, because most core hackers don't care. 
The major opinion is "why fix bugs on a buggy platform?".

Re: [PHP] newbie question about scope

I am an experienced web developer who is just getting into php.  I have had
a php project fall into my lap and wanted a little advice.  Here is the
scoop:
   A client moved their site from a server (unknown details) to a hosting
facility (php 4.3.2).  Now none of the scripts work.  I have guessed that
they are coming from an earlier version of apache/php.  Anyway it appears
that whoever created the site in the first place did not believe in scoping
variables.  Now any variable that is not properly scoped will not be read by
the server.  I know I can simply scope all of the variables, but I was
hoping there may be an easier way.  Also, how bad is the _REQUEST scope I
read that "it could not be trusted", however the previous developer created
the app in such a way that several places a variable could be _GET or _POST.
I apologize for the rambling and possible incoherency of this message, I am
a bit tired.

PS. How do you scope queries?

 

You're thinking about this in the wrong way, it seems. The server 
probably has register_globals Off, where previously he was programming 
with it being On. or vise-versa. They should be Off, and should be left 
off, but programming with them off needs some adjusting. Variables such 
as post and get data are now 'superglobals', and must use the 
appropriate arrays; $_GET[], and $_POST[]. There are things like 
extract(), but using them is not advised. as per your question about 
"scope queries", be more concrete :)

as said, use the global construct. This is a scope problem, read the 
manual about variable scope.
php.net/variables.scope
