Thanks for the thoughtful replies.
Yes, trim, ltrim and rtrim were all tried without success.
utf8_decode was also tried, again, without success...
And, as a matter of fact, after rebooting the machine with mb_ functions, I still got the same result (so not a multibyte thing)
It's still got me puzzled, but in the meanwhile,I've switched to using dashes "-" instead of underscores...

strlen issues - no mb_strlen available
I'm not sure if this is an encoding issue or not, but for some reason strlen is not giving me the correct length of a string stored in a mysql database.
I have two strings, one containing letters and spaces, and another containing letters, spaces and underscores.
Even if both strings are exactly the same length, the reported length given by strlen is incorrect.
For testing I used these two strings:

Well, honestly?
I re-wrote the script, entirely, forgot the include they had for sql setup, and the variables were passing, when I added the include, it stopped...
Unfortunately, had I done that in the first place, I would have spotted it directly.

Hi there,
I've managed to find the problem, one of the included files is stripping the contents of the array, even though it's not supposed to do so.
We're working with the original script creator to remove the problem code, unf, it's encoded... :(

Hi there,
Not many places to put those codes, but I did try to streamline it a bit and still can't imagine where the Array could possibly be emptying...
This is the result after the first post (where the number of members to be awarded is determined):
1 member:
5 members:Code:Array ( [mems] => 1 [save] => Submit )
After...Code:Array ( [mems] => 5 [save] => Submit )

Hi code green,
I agree, no need to echo each line, but it was done because of "compressin g" there is a little bit of extra functionality in between that was edited out.
Meanwhile, this *should* work, but doesn't, which is why I need an assist.

...Code:if($_POST["save"] == "Submit") { $mems = $_POST[mems]; $i=0; while($i < $mems) { //build table with the number of cells equal to the number of members to update. echo "<tr>"; echo "<td><input type=\"text\" id=\"memid[]\" name=\"memid[]\" value=\"\" size=8></td>";Leave a comment:

updateing multiple rows at once, with different values..
Hello Gents,
I want to be able to reward my members with credits, banner advertisements, text advertisements and even cash, but on a partially manual basis.
I created a page where I could decide how many members would get a reward, and then update them based on the member id and details I enter, here's the code for the page:

Duh!
Sorry people, the answer was so obvious it slapped us in the face!
Works like a charm!Code:SELECT column FROM table ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1

Fetch xth item from mysql_array
Hey gentlebeings,
I'm pretty sure this is possible, just can't find the correct way to do it.
I want to select the contents of my table of testimonials, and randomly display one of them on the screen.
So the thinking we had over here was to count the number of rows and then select the xth row for display. We just weren't sure on the options available to us. :)
One option was to count the... -
Thanks for the tip, but I do believe that's what I started out with when I first moved to globals off... and it didn't work then, but that's probably because I tried to inject in the sql query directly, obviously a mistake. :)
No matter, I assigned the debug variable $team1 to the Post value, and used the variable instead of the post variable.
And I have to say this is probably something I should have done weeks ago,...Leave a comment:

Thanks for the advice,
I only wish that were the problem. But it seems to me that the data is not being pulled from the onscreen table, that is, not from the database.
Even when I declare some new variables for the onscreen table:
...Code:$team1points[] = ""; $team2points[] = ""; <snip> $site .=" <td style='width:20; text-align: left;'><input

Here's the gist of it all.
The page displays the teams that have played a game for a given week and has places to enter the score for that weeks games.
There are 18 teams, so nine rows, two teams per row and text boxes for each teams score.
After entering the scores, the manager will click on submit, the scores will be read from each line and updated in the database. The user is then re-directed to the...Leave a comment:

Thanks for the welcome, it's much appreciated...
Maybe I should have posted a little more code. This does allow me to complete part of my work, but I'm also trying to update a database based on table info retrieved from the db...
So
[CODE=php]while ($schedule = mysql_fetch_arr ay($result))
{
$Match_ID[] = $schedule['Match_ID'];
$Team1_Points[] = $schedule['Team1_Points'];
$Team2_Points[]...Leave a comment:

How to access Global Array of an Array...
Here's what I've got:

$Team2_Points[] = $schedule['Team2_Points'];

And
