Re: Help with Url Rewrite

1) First of all make sure all your href should have seo url, which you finally want
i.e. fullnews.php/123/This-is-the-Headline
So below code will make such href.

function seo($input){
    $input = mb_convert_case($input, MB_CASE_LOWER, "UTF-8"); //convert UTF-8 string to lowercase
    $a = array('č','ć','ž','đ','š');
    $b = array('c','c','z','dj','s');
    //$input = strtr($input, "čćžđšè", "cczdse"); not working properly :(
    $input = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+/", "-", $input); //replace all non alphanumeric chars with dashes
    $input = preg_replace("/(-){2,}/", "$1", $input); //prevent repeating dashes
    $input = trim($input, "-"); //trim dashes both sides, if any
    return $input;
}
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($sel))
{
$id=$row['id'];
$headline=$row['headline'];
echo "<a href='fullnews.php/".$id."/".seo($headline)."'>$headline</a>";
}

2) Add below code in htaccess file.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^fullnews\.php/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /fullnews.php?id=$1&headline=$2 [L]

So that
The original URL:
http://domain.com/fullnews.php?id=123&headline=asas-asa-as
The rewritten URL:
http://domain.com/fullnews.php/123/asas-asa-as

Re: display image but broken image is showing up

When you insert image in database use chunk_split function as shown below.

$image = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($_FILES['fileupload']['tmp_name'])));

After that check, if still it is not working comment below line
// header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

and open get.php in other tab of browser, check if you having any error?

Re: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

You have blank space in host name.

Also add $mail->SMTPDebug = 2; in your code for debugging.

$mail->SMTPDebug  = 2;                     // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
                                           // 1 = errors and messages

$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                  // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";                 // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host       = "smtp.gmail.com";      // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server

Re: Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated

Once you go live and upload your site on live server it will send email as generally all server supports SMTP.
But if server is restricted, you have to give SMTP settings which will be given by your hosting providers.
Better if you have any live server, upload your test page on LIVE and then test.

Re: PHP Chatting

Apart from readymade script, if you still want to make your own code:
1) Design database tables.
e.g
autoId
chatSession
fromUserId
toUserId
message
dateTime
2) There will be one div and one text area for design view.
3) When user type something in textarea and press enter trigger javascript and call ajax to insert textarea's value in database.
make sure you use proper fromUserId and toUserId to insert in database.
4) In div after every 2 sec, call ajax and if there is any new entry in database based on chatSession then show it in div.

Re: PHP Include a file of requires

1) either you need to make all config variable global inside function.
i.e.

// now you can use $LOCATION
}

2) or you can define in Setup.inc.php:

define('LOCATION', 'http://www.rest/of/address');
// now you can use LOCATION (without  $ sign) in function file.

xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)

    }
  }
xmlhttp.open("GET","getuser.php?users="+users+"&sex="+sex,true);

Re: updating mysql table in PHP

You have placed this code on top.

$query1 = 'UPDATE flexi SET allocation = "allocated", user = "'.$_SESSION["username"].'" WHERE flexi="flexi1"';
$result1 = mysql_query($query1);
$result1 = $_SESSION['allocate'];

$query2 = 'UPDATE flexi SET allocation = "allocated", user = "'.$_SESSION["username"].'" WHERE flexi="flexi2"';
$result2 = mysql_query($query2);
$result2 = $_SESSION['alloc'];

That means each time page is refreshed sql query will update record.

You can do it by 2 way.
1) server side
Use submit button.
When user click on submit button page will be posted and top php code will update record. Top php code will be in if condition.
e.g.

if(isset($_POST('submit'))){ //===update query====}

2) Client side
Use Ajax.
Which meanse once user click on button you will send one ajax request to one page which will update data.

Re: Syntax Prpblems

How php string works??
In php you can give single quote or double quote for defining string.
If you start with single quote, php will find next single quote for completion of it.In middle you can also use double quote.
Dot(.) is used for two string concatenation.
Same for double quote. If you want to use double quote inside two double quote you can use back slash.
e.g.

'Hi I" am '.'php developer' => valid
'Hi I" am '."php developer" => valid
'Hi I' am '."php developer" => Not valid
'Hi I\' am '."php developer" => valid
'Hi I am '."<a href="http://php.net">php</a> developer" => Not valid
'Hi I am '."<a href=\"http://php.net\">php</a> developer" => Valid

Even if you are using dream-weaver like editor proper string always give red color.
If something is messy, based on color highlighting you can recognize it.

Re: how to form nice url with php?

You can do this by htaccess.
This is a file named '.htaccess' which you have to put at root of your required project.
You have to write rules in htaccess to generate url.

Visit http://www.generateit.net/mod-rewrite/ to generate simple rules.
