Ok, thanks. I will just continue to use the database then.

Yes, I said "without using a database". So how would I do it if I put the names and IDs in another file? both with registartion of new accounts and with getting the names. Or would it be better to use the database?

What would be the best way to get the username from a user on my site, when I have the user ID. At the moment I get the name by using a Database, and tell it to give me the username where the user ID is the user ID I give it. But is there another way? Where I dont have to conect to the database all the time! Using PHP of corse.

If I didnt make my self clear, I want a different way of doing this, without using a database (If thats a good idea):

mysql_query("SELECT username FROM userdatabase WHERE userid='$userid'")

Maybe you shouldn't let people post php codes on your site?

It don't have to be. I use Dreamweaver, but I never use it as a drag and drop editor.

Maybe you need a numer in there? eks. displayNews(0);

Sorry for tripple post, but I figured it out. Apperently I can use $navn instead of $_SESSION['navn']. and since I used that for something else, it changed the $_SESSION['navn'] variable. Didnt know that, thanks for your help everyone.

I just found out that it changes to the user-id of the person you send the PM to. that should be proof enough for you that it happens on that page.

If it's the session itself that's changing, then it's not in this code. A second part of the session isn't being stated.

Could you display the code of the output page?

Well, I noticed that every time I tryed sending a PM I got loged out. So I just checked the $_SESSION['navn'], and it was changed to the user id. It ONLY happens when I send a PM, so it has to be on that page. Even tho I cant find anything in my code that changes $_SESSION['navn'].

When I check the variable I just used

<?= $_SESSION['navn']; ?>

It shows the username before I send a pm, but id after.

The session changes. when I try getting the information on another page, the username is switched with the user id. But I have no idea how that happens. But it only changes when I try sending a PM. So it has to be in this code.

can be changed to $getname = mysql_query("SELECT password FROM un WHERE name = '" . mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['navn '] . "'");.

I know, but I like my way, it's easyer to read when your browsing thru your code fast.

At 5/13/08 02:07 PM, WoogieNoogie wrote: I don't see where you ever set the session variable...

I do that on the login page. But the problem only happen when I try sending a PM. And I didn't have the problem before I created the PM system. So it should be in the code I linked to, since its the only place where the problem happens.

Very much so. But, it wouldn't be doing anything. Can you show the code of the functions? I think that's where the error is occurring.

Ok, that's what I thought. Dunno why I still got it there.

Here's the function that checks if the user is logged in. But I doubt the problem is here, I use it on every page, but the problem is only on 1.

function checkLogInState(){
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['navn']) && isset($_SESSION['pass'])){
$navn=$_SESSION['navn'];
$passord=$_SESSION['pass'];

$navn=mysql_real_escape_string($navn);
$getname=mysql_query("SELECT password FROM un WHERE name = '$navn'");
if(!$getname){
return FALSE;
}else{
while($pass = mysql_fetch_array($getname)){
$password=$pass['password'];
}
if($passord==$password){
return TRUE;
}else{
return FALSE;
}
}
}else{
return FALSE;
}
}

yeah, I use it inside one of my own functions, the one that I use to check if the user is loged in.

Im not sure why I did that, but its to make sure its a string. Is that pointless?

I'm working on a site, and I bumped into a little problem. And I just cant seem to find out whats happening. I only have the problem on this page, nowhere else on my site. So it has to be somewhere on this page. If anyone could help me find my problem I would be really thank full.

So, I made a PM system for my site, but every time I try sending a PM the session variable with the name for the person logged in, changes to the user-id of that person. But I cant even find anywhere in my code where I change the variable.

Here's my site in .txt form: http://ptestsite.awardspace.com/sendpm.t xt

List of some variables:
$sessien = The sender
$_SESSION['navn'] = The username of the loged in person (this is what changes)
$navn and $_POST['res'] = The person the PM is to
$melding and $_POST['mes'] = the content of the PM
$emne and $_POST['sub'] = the Subject of the PM

The code might look random and unorganized. But there's a system there, and I can easily see what each part of my code does. And if some variables have weird names it's cuz some got Norwegian names. (Like: "Navn" is name in Norwegian)

Thank you for taking your time helping me!

Wouldn't it be safer to just use stripslashes() on the things you need to? Instead of using it on everything?

Thanks a lot

gotoAndStop(33);

and next time, Flash Forum for ActionScript!

I have a form the user is able to input some info into. (comment box)
To be safe from sql injection I used mysql_real_escape_string on the input, and to be safe from people using html or javascrip I used htmlspecialchars after taking it back out from the database.

The problem is that when I user types ' or ", it becomes /' and /".
Should I go back to just using htmlspecialchars on the input, an forget about escaping it? Or is there a better way of doing it?

Thanks

abuse, or retroactively changing arguments. would be nice if it appeared like the "reply" function in the reviews page, with the orange arrow clearly defining what's new about the post.

now i'm off to post this in the how-to part... because you know hes gonna repost.

Newgrounds has over a million members, they're not going to open it up to people going back after 2 weeks and changing their post to say "FUCKING BLACKS" with a big picture of a dick. It would inevitably happen.

They should add it to the regs.. And the Mods could decide to give a person the power to alter his posts. It most likely wont happen, but it would be cool if people that's not likely to abuse it could do it.

Where did you get that idea from? Never been a problem to me. The problem is usualy the limits they set if you don't buy.

If you pay Im interested. Send me a PM with what you want to have done and what you will pay for it.
