move the thread data from PHP to ASP



hi,
Resently i have made a website and forum in ASP but my old website and forum in PHP. now I am wondering if there was a way to move the thread data from the old php to the new ASP?
If your information was stored in something like MySQL or other SQL engines, there will be no prolems transfering it… It is better to say – no need for transferring, cause data storage is apart.
forum information is not stored in “PHP” or “ASP.” they’re stored in databases.
if u r using the same forum software, it should be convertable quite easily. if it’s not, it’ll be complicated.
if you’re moving from one platform to another though– say vbulletin to some-crazy-asp-board-software, the database structure will be different.

Display the crtime


I have a script that organized data entries by the date submitted through the crtime function. How do I display the crtime. What would be the php code to display the date that the item was created ?

crtime is not a built in php function.

try just echo / vardump crtime and show what the value is.

that sounds like it could be a custom function with the script and not a regular PHP function. you should dig through the code and find other examples of how they used crtime.

I noticed that it uses the .time(). to store the date added and when stored in the database it looks like this: 1164408499
how would i make that a date like: 11/11/2006 ? or whatever date that may be.

if u use a timestamp is stored in $row[‘crtime’], then it would be:

Code:

$dateadded = date("m/d/Y",$row['crtime']);

Resource id #3 error


I’m trying to write a simple login script but I’m getting the resource id #3 error.
code is

Code:

<?php
$host="localhost";
$user="root";
$password="";
$db="admin";
$tableadmin="admin1";

$adminuser= $_POST["adminuser"];
$adminpass= $_POST["adminpass"];

$link = mysql_connect($host,$user,$password)
or die ("couldn't connect to server");
$db = mysql_select_db($db,$link)
or die ("Couldn't select database");

 $result = "SELECT * FROM admin1 WHERE adminuser='$adminuser'  AND adminpass='$adminpass'";   
    $query = mysql_query($result)
    or die ("Couldn't execute query."); 
    echo "<br><br>$query<br><br>";
    //heres the problem
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)   
{
$_SESSION["authenticatedUser"]= $adminuser;
header("Location: loggedon.php");
}
else
{
$_SESSION["message"]="could not connect to database as  $adminuser";
header("Location: loginform.php");
}
?>

Hope someone can help

why wouldnt the SQL statement be called $query and
 the mysql_query be stored as the result?

try this
Code:
$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as cnt FROM admin1 WHERE adminuser='$adminuser'  AND adminpass='$adminpass'";   

$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Couldn't execute query."); 

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

if ($row['cnt'] > 0)   
{
$_SESSION["authenticatedUser"]= $adminuser;
header("Location: loggedon.php");
}

Code:
$result = @mysql_query($query) or die ("Couldn't execute query.");

Need to wrap output in tags


For doing formatting with the printf(), there is need to wrap output in <pre> tags. Is this the best way of showing formatted plain text on a browser?

<pre> tags can be useful if you want to preserve plain-text formatting in an HTML context.
If you want to output an entire text document to the browser, however, it is neater to tell the browser to format the entire output as plain text. You can do this with the header() function:Header (“Content-Type: Text/Plain”);

Header problem


If I do a header(“Location: http://xyz.com&#8221;) does that get sent to the browser immediately? In other words, can I then do other stuff after the header command without worrying about delaying the redirect to the browser?

use htaccess to redirect

You have to do what you have to do before the header Location thing or, you can use meta refresh with a small delay.

I wants to redirect and some code executed. How do you do that with .htaccess?

htaccess is not always the best choice. In forums like phpBB the header function is used because they first need to check if for example a user is logged in or not. Then it’s so much easier to use the header function.

code 2 be executed…..
header(“Location: somepage.php”);
exit

variable from one file to the other


How can I send that variable from one file to the other?I have a variable called $url that is defined in the first file. now i want to use that variable in the second file.

Any advice

you could save the variables as Session variables

You could put your variables in vars.php, and then

include(“vars.php”);

At the top of every page you want the variables in.
