Question by CJ Cornell: URL “redirect” …/php?
Inside a webpage, I have a form with a text field, and then call a simple script that uses the posted text as part of the name of a web page, which the php calls and displays.

example: MainPage.html accepts input “user-text”, and on submit and calls “valdiate.php” which displays “speciallocation/page-user-text.html”

All works fine.

But at in the address bar of IE, the url for MainPage.html is displaying. (even though speciallocation/page-user-text.html is actually showing on the screen).

How do I change what appears in the address bar … I actually want a completely different url to show on top.

Thanks
I am indeed using PHP: header( ‘location:page.html’ ); and 1-”page.html is displayed but not in the address bar, the url of the original page is there. And, my goal is to display a different url in the address bar.

Essentially a page from a different server is calling the php and data.html page that reside on my server – but I don’t want to display my domain or url on top.

It depends how you do your forwarding. If you use a “header/location” tag (ex. in PHP: header( ‘location:page.html’ ); ), the page might be hidden depending on how many pages are called using this method.

If you want the right page to be displayed in the address bar, the easiest way is to use javascript and the “window.location.href” method. This will always display the right address in the address bar.

Other than that, you can’t really hide the “real” address, unless you use the window.open method in javascript and hide the address bar.

Question by : Need help altering image dimensions that I’m inserting into my website?
Ok, let’s see if I can ask this correctly…
I have a website thru JustHost and am using “their” templates. I’m scanning flyers (w/color, design and text) that need to be “readable”. But no matter how much I alter the size, pixels, etc, the images are shown in the same exact size once they’re on the website.
Now… when working in my website’s “admin” mode, while on the php page (where I’m uploading these images as hyperlinks), I have an option to view the html code, and where the text of the hyperlinked image is, it says the following:

Question by Jesse: How to pass and read an array of an array in PHP?
Hopefully someone can help me here, it’s kind of complicated. I’m trying to pass data from a form to an XML doc. Part of the form allows multiple contributors to be appended. In the XML I’d like it to look like:

…

And my form is set up more or less like this in HTML:

The data passed just fine when the page was set up like this:

But the data came in the order name1, name2, role1, role2, etc…
It seems like doing an array of an array should solve the ordering problem but I think I either forgot how to properly write PHP or it’s just really late. Here is the PHP I have written relative to this piece:

// Collect information from POST request
foreach($ _POST as $ key => $ value) {
if(is_array($ value)) {
// Special Case for contributors
if($ key == “contributor”) {
$ event->addChild($ key);
for($ i = 0; $ i < count($ value); $ i++) {
$ c = "contributor";
$ event->$ key->addChild(“contributor”);
$ event->$ key->$ c->addChild(“name”, $ value[name[$ i]]);
$ event->$ key->$ c->addChild(“role”, $ value[role[$ i]]);
$ event->$ key->$ c->addChild(“affiliation”, $ value[affiliation[$ i]]);
}
}
// If it’s just a single level array set
else
{
$ event->addChild($ key.”Set”);
for($ i = 0; $ i < count($ value); $ i++) {
$ event->$ key->addChild($ key, $ value[$ i]);
}
}
// If it’s not an array, just add it
} else {
$ event->addChild($ key, $ value);
}
}

Here is the kind of error I got:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[', expecting ']‘ in /nfs/aesop01/hw12/d22/codexa/process.php on line 37

It’s obviously something about the double level array but it seems like it should work. If anyone has had similar problems and/or found solutions I would like to hear them! Thanks.

Without seeing your actual code, it’s impossible to debug your specific problem. However, from what you have shown, that does not appear to be altered, your html input fields should be:

Additionally, your PHP should follow the same concept:
$ value['name'][$ i] // This assumes that ‘name’ is a literal string array key, and you want the value of the $ i entry in that array.

Notice how the square brackets fall outside of the first set of brackets.

Here is a demonstration script I’ve thrown together that may provide some useful insight on how to handle such situations: >> http://pastebin.com/WJn65RM9 <<

In my example, you can then use the $ contributors array to build the XML from.

Note:
Multidimensional arrays can be confusing to work with, having a good understanding on how to debug your scripts is crucial to becoming a good developer and being able to resolve your own problems. I'd strongly suggest that you take a look at http://php.net/print_r and it's similar functions.

There are better, more efficient ways to handle input but this is more than suitable for most situations. Just be sure to clean the input to prevent any type of SQL or code injections.

x=day.getHours() //..get the hour

if(x>=0 && x<4) {

document.write(‘<style type="text/css">body{background: white url(1st.jpg); color: black}"></style>’)

} else
