Upload System I'm Working On

[MeltingIce]

Alright, the directory listing now has links to the files so I am making good progress.  I reorganized the structure a little bit as well.  All that's left is to add the file manipulation functions to the directory listing and it'll be done!

Nice, yes it really that easy, hehe. Will the entire project be done or just that portion of code?

Will

I won't release the project until it is completely finished   It's been coming along nicely though so it shouldn't be too much longer.

Neat can't wait, this is off topic but woulnet be nice is Terragen 2 had some type of python or C++ scripting.

A scripting system will be implemented before the final release. It will probably be based on Python due to its increasing popularity for 3D application scripting.

I can't seem to get this to work.  This is a function I wrote that checks to make sure the string passed in doesn't have any of the characters in the array $nix in it.  Right now its always returning true.  If anyone knows why, help would be much appreciated 

Code Select Expand

<?php
function isValid($var)
{

$nix = array("#","(",")","<",">","?","/","\\","[","]","|");
$vararray = str_split($var);
for($index=0;$index<count($vararray);$index++)
{
if(array_search($vararray[$index], $nix))
{
$valid = false;
}
}

if($vararray[0] == " ")
{
$valid = false;
}

return $valid;
}
?>

While I'm waiting on the reply for that, I was wondering if I could get some feedback on the index page.  This is a working version of the page, but I disabled the register form so that no one can register a username    Try logging in with a random username and password to see the error message that appears.  All the animations were done with scriptaculous if anyone was wondering.  You can check it out here.
EDIT: I just finished styling the database install page.  I know a lot of people are intimidated by databases, so I made this as easy as possible.  My ultimate goal is to make it so the user doesn't have to edit any php at all.  Here's a screenshot of the install.php script after a successful MySQL table installation:



EDIT AGAIN: Guess I'm kinda talkin to myself here since its so early in the morning.  I just achieved my ultimate goal.  Users no longer have to edit any php files.  When you install the database, a config.php file is written for you containing your database login information so you no longer have to edit that file yourself.

Nice man, but yea I'm ot even up at that hour.  The error system seems to be working at least for the log in. Is et up an account and got in so it all seems to be working from my end.

You never initialised your $valid. So you always return false. Initialise it by adding

$valid = true;

at the start of the function.

Good looking page, MeltingIce.  I can't wait to see this when it's done.

I added that and it didn't change anything unfortunately.

Hmm ok, I'm looking into that now.. seems to be a problem with the str_split.

Thanks a lot man.  If you can come up with a better way to do it than what I'm doing, then please let me know.  I was hoping for a function that returns the character of a word at index x, instead of having to put all the letters into an array.

Here you go, this should work:

Code Select Expand


function isValid($varx)
{
$valid = true;
$nix = array("#","(",")","<",">","?","/","\\","[","]","|");
for($index=0;$index<strlen($varx);$index++)
{
if(in_array(substr($varx,$index,1), $nix))
{
$valid = false;
}
}

if(substr($varx, 0, 1) == " ")
{
$valid = false;
}
return $valid;
}


$var seems to be invalid for a variable name hence the use of $varx

Excellent, it does work!  Thanks again, much appreciated
