Using the apostrophe for PHP associative array element's name

- by Haskella

Hi I've been trying to figure out how to put something like Joe's Fruits into a PHP array something like this: <?php $arr = array( 'Fruitland' => '3ddlskdf3', 'Joe's Fruits' => 'dddfdfer3', ); ?> Using the above for example (stackoverflow's code color should tell you this by now), the array will take it as 'Joe' between the two apostrophes instead of the whole 'Joe's Fruits' is there any way I can do this without just calling it 'Joes Fruits'?

Perl coding to PHP coding conversion

- by Haskella

Hi, I am trying to convert some Perl into PHP using this guideline: http://www.cs.wcupa.edu/~rkline/perl2php/#basedir Basically I know next to nothing about these two languages. Please give me some simple English explanation of what each line does, I'll be more than happy. Thanks for reading :D Perl CGI program: #!/usr/bin/perl -T use strict; use warnings; use CGI (); my %fruit_codes = ( apple => '2321.html', banana => '1234.html', coconut => '8889.html', ); my $c = CGI->new; my $fruit_parameter = $c->param('fruit_name'); my $iframe_document; if (defined $fruit_parameter and exists $fruit_codes{$fruit_parameter}) { $iframe_document = $fruit_codes{$fruit_parameter}; } else { $iframe_document = 'sorry-no-such-fruit.html'; } $c->header('application/xhtml+xml'); print <<"END_OF_HTML"; <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Fruits</title> </head> <body> <form action="fruits.cgi"> <fieldset> <label for="fruit">Name of the fruit:</label> <input id="fruit" name="fruit_name" type="text" /> <input type="submit" /> </fieldset> </form> <iframe src="$iframe_document"> <a href="$iframe_document">resulting fruit</a> </iframe> </body> </html> END_OF_HTML 1;

Web form / CGI scripting: User enters "word", IFrame displays "word".html

- by Haskella

Okay, I'll admit being a designer, I don't know much about how data is handled from the servers in forms... (basically the whole programming part). Basically I have a text field that the user types something like "apple", this gets sent to the server and then displays the apple.html page that I have in a directory in an IFrame. If anyone can show me how to do this in a PHP script or Perl, would be great thanks! I think this is good start, it gets more complicated than this... I later have to convert the "apple" into something like 2321 and display 2321.html instead. If anyone can find a CGI script that does this, thanks!

Can a simple web form like this get hacked?

- by Haskella

Hi I have a web form that sends a string to one php file which redirects them to a corresponding URL. I've searched about web form hacking and I've only received information about PHP and SQL... my site only uses a single PHP file, very basic etc. Would it be open to any exploits? I'm obviously not going to post the URL, but here is some code I was working on for the php file: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2888077/newbie-php-coding-problem-header-function-maybe-i-need-someone-to-check-my-cod Thanks

PHP keeps escaping my form's input (adding \ behind my ')

- by Haskella

So basically when I type something with an apostrophe, such as John's bike it will echo John\'s bike. The code below: <?php $searchname = $_POST["name"] ; echo "$searchname"; My form uses the POST method. Is there any way to stop this?

Newbie PHP coding problem: header function (maybe, I need someone to check my code)

- by Haskella

Hi, consider the following PHP code: <?php $searchsport = $_REQUEST['sport']; $sportarray = array( "Football" => "Fb01", "Cricket" => "ck32", "Tennis" => "Tn43", ); header("Location: ".$sportarray[$searchsport].".html"); //directs user to the corresponding page they searched if ($searchsport == NULL) { header("Location: youtypednothing.html"); //directs user to a page I've set up to warn them if they've entered nothing } else { header("Location: sportdoesnotexist.html"); //if sport isn't in my root, a warning will appear } ?> I think the code comments are self-explanatory, basically when I type Tennis on my form.html it will send data to this php file and process and direct me to Tn43.html which is my tennis page. Unfortunately, it doesn't work and I really want to know why... (I know I've made some huge silly mistake). PS: Is header the right function to use when doing some redirecting?

Condensing multiple else if statements, referencing them from a table?

- by Haskella

Hi I'm about to type some 500 else if statements into my code (PHP) which have the exact same coding each: if (color=White); rgb = 255-255-255; print rgb; else if (color=Black); rgb = 0-0-0; print rgb; else if (color=Red); rgb = 255-0-0; print rgb; else if (color=Blue); rgb = 0-0-255; print rgb; [the list keeps going] I also (luckily) have a table that displays the color in the first column and rgb value in the next column for 500 of them... how do I use this to save time typing all those else if statements? Some how I have to reference the table file (made in excel, I'm guessing I'll have to save it as .csv?)

PHP making input from web form case insensitive?

- by Haskella

So I have some code here that takes user input from a standard web form: $searchsport = $_POST['sport']; $sportarray = array( "Football" => "Fb01", "Cricket" => "ck32", "Tennis" => "Tn43", ); if(isset($sportarray[$searchsport])){ header("Location: ".$sportarray[$searchsport].".html"); die; } How would I go about modifying this (I think the word is parsing?) to make it case *in*sensitive? For example, I type in "fOoTbAlL" and php will direct me to Fb01.html normally.
