PHP sizing problem!

Ziycon

Below is the code, my problem is only the 100% is being used on the IE browser, i want the Firefox browser to be 100% and all other browsers to be 800 pixesl!????

if (strpos($_SERVER, 'MSIE') !== FALSE)
{
echo'
<table width="100%" boarder="0">
<tr>
<td>';
}
else
{
echo'
<table width="800" boarder="0">
<tr>
<td>';
}

Change it to 'MSIE') == FALSE)

and alter the code to suit?

Ziycon, if "dublinnites.com" is your site, I'd really reconsider your method of user authentication. It's incredibly easy to bypass.

Your syntax for the IF statement is wrong.

if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') !== FALSE)

Should be

if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') != FALSE)

Note the != versus !==

In fact theres a few errors in there that may cause problems. Here is how I would do it

<?php if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') == TRUE){
$width="100%";
}
else {
$width="800px";
}
?>

<table width="<?php echo $width;?>" border="0">
<tr>
<td>
&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>
</table>

if your taking about the members area, thats not an important area yet, i have proper security on the chat forum, i just havent been able to get round to securing the login onto the members area! On that note! anyone know how to use the passwords and usernames from the chat forum database for a members area login??

The !== operator is a valid operator for what he's doing. But he has his logic mixed up. He should either be using !== TRUE or === FALSE

Or if you want to be *really* obtuse:

<table width="<?php echo (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') === FALSE)? "100%" : "800px" ?>" border="0">
<tr>
<td>
&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Ziycon - I never used that forum but Id say have a look a the table structure. At a guess there may be a user table with username and encrypted (via md5?) password. If so just md5 encrypt the password your user types in and compare login and encryped password with whats in the table.

Cult - good catch on the security issue. Had to have a good root around before I saw it. Do you always look for that stuff?

Its using the 'Sha1' encryption. I knowingly coded the members area login like that because at the time the site did'nt have a DB behind it and since the DB has been available i haven't been able to get a chance to even look at coding a proper login for it due to major work in college!

Gonna give it a look this week.
