The two actors keep oscillating between being sweet and being bitchy to each other…will you girlies stop playing around with us, please!

Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra have both been busy promoting their respective films for the past month. And at every event they invariably fell prey to questions about each other. Their rivalry is by now something that every gali ka baccha knows about. And the media is always waiting to know what their relationship status is!

But like jilted lovers, they keep going from hate to love to hate. We last heard Kareena say, “Priyanka is a dumdaar actress.” Post that, when Priyanka was asked about Kareena’s wedding, she said, “I can’t wait to see Kareena as a bride!” And the whole world thought that finally the actors had decided to be friends, and if not friends, then at least cordial acquaintances or colleagues. And just before all these sweet words were said, the Chopra girl and the Kapoor babe bonded when Priyanka paid her a visit on the sets of Heroine. And we thought, ‘all is well’.

Perhaps we thought that too soon. Insiders tell us that Kareena feels that Priyanka is her biggest competitor and she keeps a constant watch on PeeCee’s moves. And so we think Kareena read between the lines when Piggy Chops made that comment about her wedding (and who knows, she might not be entirely wrong). So perhaps PeeCee’s eagerness to see Kareena get married didn’t go down very well with Bebo. Considering Bebo wants to work till she is 80, being a married actor has been a cause of major concern for the heroine any which way. Recently Kareena also made a statement that she would definitely beat the success of Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion – starring Piggy Chops – and that she didn’t really care about winning a National Award (we don’t really believe that one).

A couple of days ago Priyanka was dumbfounded when she was asked to react to that statement. She quickly came up with a retort. “A case of sour grapes – what else do I say,” she giggled. We like your tongue-in-cheek humour, Priyanka, and we love your witty (read snide) remarks, Bebo, but we would also love it if you girls made up your minds about whether you want to be nice to each or not.

Having said that, we can’t wait to see the next big statement that is waiting to come from of either of the two. PeeCee is getting rave reviews for Barfi!, so she sure is in a happy place right now. But what will happen if Kareena’s ambitious Heroine (which releases this week) fails at the box office? Will Priyanka make a statement saying that Bebo should not be disheartened and should look forward to her wedding instead? And will Kareena get miffed and get back at Piggy saying, ‘At least I have a boyfriend I can admit to’? Girlies, you’ve got us addicted to your ‘friendly’ repartee!

The Barfi! babe is probably having the best year of her career so far, and her fans seem to be loving it!

Bollywoodlife.com conducted an online poll asking our readers who they thought was Bollywood’s biggest heroine right now, and we got an overwhelming response. Must say that the competition was tough – between Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra. But PeeCee quite comfortably beat her contemporaries to come out as the winner of the poll.

While Priyanka received 31 percent votes, Kareena – the current “Heroine” – got 25 percent votes and Katrina Kaif came third with 24 percent votes. The others in the running were Vidya Balan with 10 percent votes and Rani Mukerji with 5 percent.

PeeCee has had an amazing 2012 and it’s not surprising at all that she has come out tops in this poll. She started the year with a big hit in the form of Agneepath and now Barfi! has managed to win over the audiences and critics alike. Priyanka was applauded for her subtle and mature portrayal of the autistic girl Jhilmil. The only thing that hasn’t worked for her is Teri Meri Kahaani with Shahid Kapoor, but it seems like everyone has already forgotten about it.

Barfi! has made over approximately Rs 80 crores (including overseas collections) and has been picked as India’s official entry to the Oscars. And if that wasn’t enough, the girl is making waves internationally as the first singing star from India. Her first single In My City became the anthem of the National Football League, putting her directly in the top league. Her video is set to release soon, and it’s creating loads of curiosity in India.

Priyanka’s 30th year definitely seems to be proving lucky for her. And we are sure that 2013 will be as exciting for the babe, as she vies for all the best actress trophies in India and Barfi! fights for a place in the top five foreign language films list at the Academy Awards. The superhero flick Krissh 3 releases next year and Priyanka’s album also hits the market in early 2013! Way to go PeeCee!

How to create an email form with PHP

PHP was designed for making interactive web pages and mixing functionality with HTML. Form handling in PHP is quite a simple process. Here is a step-by-step guide for creating a simple feedback form. A visitor to your website fills this out and the information is emailed to you.

Create the web form

First we need to create a simple HTML form, to start with we'll keep the form simple by just asking for the users email address and comments. Here is our HTML form:

<html>
<head>
<title>Simple Feedback Form</title>
<style>label{display:block;}</style>
</head>
<body>


<form action="/feedback_form.php" method="post">


<label>Email Address</label>
<input type="text" name="email_address" size="40">


<label>Your Feedback</label>
<textarea name="feedback" cols="50" rows="10"></textarea>


<input type="submit" name="send" value="Submit">


</form>


</body>
</html>

This form will send two parameters to our PHP script, email_address and feedback. Save this file as feedback_form.html and upload it to the web folder on your hosting.

Create the form script

First we receive the data from our form and store it in two PHP variables, $email_address and $feedback.

<?php
$email_address = $_POST['email_address'];
$feedback = $_POST['feedback'];

Filtering user submitted data

Whenever you write a PHP script that receives data from an unknown source you should always filter the data to make sure it doesn't contain anything harmful. For example, if we don't filter the data in our form it would be quite easy for a Hacker to use our PHP script to send out spam to thousands of people. The golden rule is never trust any data you haven't created or don't control.

To filter our user data we're going to create a functions:

function filter_email_header($form_field) {
  return preg_replace('/[\0\n\r\|\!\/\<\>\^\$\%\*\&]+/','',$form_field);
}

The filter function removes special characters which could be used to trick our script into sending spam and is applied to the $email_address data. We'll place the two functions at the bottom of our script.

Now we'll call the filter function to clean up our user submitted email address:

$email_address  = filter_email_header($email_address);

Emailing the feedback

Once we have the filtered data we need to email it back to you. Our web hosting servers run a local mail server (PHP script can use to send email. This can be done using the PHP in-built mail function:

$headers = "From: $email_address\n";
$sent = mail('you@domain.com', 'Feedback Form Submission', $feedback, $headers);

Make sure you set your email address on line 2.

Thank the user for their feedback

Finally, when a user submits your form lets show a page thanking them for their feedback:

if ($sent) {


?><html>
<head>
<title>Thank You</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Thank You</h1>
<p>Thank you for your feedback.</p>
</body>
</html>
<?php


} else {


?><html>
<head>
<title>Somthing went wrong</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Somthing went wrong</h1>
<p>We could not send your feedback. Please try again.</p>
</body>
</html>
<?php
}
?>

The final script

This example script shows a very basic way to get form contents emailed to you, it doesn't however have the refinements of a professional script, e.g. input validation. Below is the finished script. We've added some comments (lines beginning with #) to help make it clearer.

<?php


#Receive user input
$email_address = $_POST['email_address'];
$feedback = $_POST['feedback'];


#Filter user input
function filter_email_header($form_field) {
  return preg_replace('/[\0\n\r\|\!\/\<\>\^\$\%\*\&]+/','',$form_field);
}


$email_address  = filter_email_header($email_address);


#Send email
$headers = "From: $email_address\n";
$sent = mail('you@domain.com', 'Feedback Form Submission', $feedback, $headers);


#Thank user or notify them of a problem
if ($sent) {


?><html>
<head>
<title>Thank You</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Thank You</h1>
<p>Thank you for your feedback.</p>
</body>
</html>
<?php


} else {


?><html>
<head>
<title>Somthing went wrong</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Somthing went wrong</h1>
<p>We could not send your feedback. Please try again.</p>
</body>
</html>
<?php
}
?>

Save this script as feedback_form.php and upload it to the root of your web hosting on your web hosting.

Now you're ready to test your feedback form. Load your feedback form in your browser, http://www.domain.com/feedback_form.html, fill the form in and submit it. If everything works you should receive an email containing what you just entered in the form.

Creating simple PHP contact form

Overview

if you want to test on you own computer you must set your computer as a mail server by using Argosoft mail server other softwares that have the same features as Argosoft. Read this tutorial for how to set up.


In this tutorial, create 2 files
1. contact.php
2. send_contact.php

Steps
1. Create file contact.php.
2. Create file send_contact.php.

STEP1: Create file contact.php

############### Code


<table width="400" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td><strong>Contact Form </strong></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="400" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td><form name="form1" method="post" action="send_contact.php">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
<td width="16%">Subject</td>
<td width="2%">:</td>
<td width="82%"><input name="subject" type="text" id="subject" size="50"></td>
</tr>
<tr>

Making a login form using PHP

This is in continuation of the tutorial on making a membership based web site. Please see the previous page PHP registration form for more details.

Download the code

You can download the whole source code for the registration/login system from the link below:
RegistrationForm.zip
The ReadMe.txt file in the download contains detailed instructions.

The login form

Here is the HTML code for the login form.

<form id='login' action='login.php' method='post' accept-charset='UTF-8'>

<fieldset >

<legend>Login</legend>

<input type='hidden' name='submitted' id='submitted' value='1'/>

<label for='username' >UserName*:</label>

<input type='text' name='username' id='username'  maxlength="50" />

<label for='password' >Password*:</label>

<input type='password' name='password' id='password' maxlength="50" />

<input type='submit' name='Submit' value='Submit' />

</fieldset>

</form>

Logging in

We verify the username and the password we received and then look up those in the database. Here is the code:

function Login()

{

if(empty($_POST['username']))

{

$this->HandleError("UserName is empty!");

return false;

}

if(empty($_POST['password']))

{

$this->HandleError("Password is empty!");

return false;

}

$username = trim($_POST['username']);

$password = trim($_POST['password']);

if(!$this->CheckLoginInDB($username,$password))

{

return false;

}

session_start();

$_SESSION[$this->GetLoginSessionVar()] = $username;

return true;

}

In order to identify a user as authorized, we are going to check the database for his combination of username/password, and if a correct combination was entered, we set a session variable.

Here is the code to look up the username and password.

function CheckLoginInDB($username,$password)

{

if(!$this->DBLogin())

{

$this->HandleError("Database login failed!");

return false;

}

$username = $this->SanitizeForSQL($username);

$pwdmd5 = md5($password);

$qry = "Select name, email from $this->tablename ".

" where username='$username' and password='$pwdmd5' ".

" and confirmcode='y'";

$result = mysql_query($qry,$this->connection);

if(!$result || mysql_num_rows($result) <= 0)

{

$this->HandleError("Error logging in. ".

"The username or password does not match");

return false;

}

return true;

}

Please notice that we must compare the value for the password from the database with the MD5 encrypted value of the password entered by the user. If the query returns a result, we set an "authorized" session variable, and then redirect to the protected content. If there are no rows with the entered data, we just redirect the user to the login form again.

Access controlled pages

For those pages that can only be accessed by registered members, we need to put a check on the top of the page.
Notice that we are setting an "authorized" session variable in the login code above. On top of pages we want to protect, we check for that session variable. If user is authorized, we show him the protected content, otherwise we direct him to the login form.

Include this sample piece of code on top of your protected pages:

<?PHP

require_once("./include/membersite_config.php");

if(!$fgmembersite->CheckLogin())

{

$fgmembersite->RedirectToURL("login.php");

exit;

}

?>

See the file: access-controlled.php in the downloaded code for an example.

Here is the CheckLogin() function code.

function CheckLogin()

{

session_start();

$sessionvar = $this->GetLoginSessionVar();

if(empty($_SESSION[$sessionvar]))

{

return false;

}

return true;

}

These are the basics of creating a membership site. Now that you have the basic knowledge, you can experiment with it and add new features, such as a "Forgot password" page to allow the user to retrieve or change his password if he forgets it.

PHP Tutorial : Final Notes

Introduction

In the past 6 parts of this tutorial I have shown you the basics of writing PHP. In this final part I will show you a few small things which don't really warrant a section of their own.

Comments

As with any programming language, it is quite important to comment in your script. If you are working on a script with someone else you must let them know what you code does and if you are distributing your script you will need to show people how to edit it. Even if you are the only one who will use your script it is useful to comment so that you can edit it at a later date.

In PHP there are two ways you can comment. One way is used for single line comments and the other is used mainly for comments that go over one line. A single line comment is written as follows:

// Your comment can go in here

Everything after the // will be ingnored when the script is executed. You can even place these on the end of another line e.g.

print "Hello $name"; // Welcome to the user

Another way of commenting is by using multi-line comments:

/* The following piece of code will take the input
the user gave and will check that it is valid before
adding it to the database */

Anything between the /* and the */ will be ignored. It is important that you always close this type of comment as not doing so could make your script not work.

Print, Echo and HTML

As you may have noticed during this tutorial I have actually used 4 different ways of outputting information to the browser:

echo("Text here");
echo "Text here";
print("Text here";
print "Text here";

To clarify, all of these do the same thing and you can use any or all of them in a script. There is no reason to even use the same type all through a script. The only problem you may find is that, as I explained in part 2, all the " in the HTML code must be replaced with \" which, if you have a lot of code, could take a very long time. This brings me to a very useful part of PHP. If, for example, you created the header of a page dynamically in PHP, then had the static page and finally a dynamic footer you can do the following:

<?
Top PHP code in here
?>
HTML Code
<?
Bottom PHP code in here
?>

This gets even better as the PHP code will just continue from where it was left off so you could do the following:

<?
IF Statement {
?>
HTML For IF Being Correct
<?
} else {
?>
HTML For IF Being Wrong
<?
}
?>

You must always remember to close IF statements and loops, though, as it is very easy to forget.

One Line Prints

Being able to place HTML code into your PHP is very useful, but what happens if you want to put the value of a variable into the code. Unlike when using an echo or print statement, you can't just put in the variable name as this section is not actually part of the PHP code. Instead you must just put in a little PHP.

For example if you wanted to print someone's name from a script with HTML formatting you would do the following:

<font face="Arial" size="7" color="red"><b><? echo($variablename); ?></b></font>

In the above code you have just added in the following PHP:

<? echo($variablename); ?>

Which is exactly the same as the following PHP code:

<?
echo($variablename);
?>

But all put onto one line.

Conclusion

This tutorial has given you some of the basics of PHP and should allow you to do most things you will want to. For a much more in depth look you should visit PHP.net, the official homepage of PHP. One major omission of this tutorial, you may have noticed, is using PHP with a database. As this is one of the major reasons that people use PHP and because there are many options
I will put this in a separate PHP/MySQL tutorial.

PHP Tutorial : PHP With Forms

Introduction

In the last part, I showed you how to use PHP to send e-mail messages using a script. In this part I will continue this and also show you how to use PHP and forms together to make your PHP scripts useful.

Setting Up Your Form

Setting up a form for use with a PHP script is exactly the same as normal in HTML. As this is a PHP tutorial I will not go into depth in how to write your form but I will show you three of the main pieces of code you must know:

<input type="text" name="thebox" value="Your Name">

Will display a text input box with Your Name written in it as default. The value section of this code is optional. The information defined by name will be the name of this text box and should be unique.

<textarea name="message">
Please write your message here.
</textarea>

Will display a large scrolling text box with the text 'Please write your message here.' as default. Again, the name is defined and should be unique.

<input type="submit" value="Submit">

This will create a submit button for your form. You can change what it says on the button by changing the button's value.

All the elements for your form must be enclosed in the <form> tags. They are used as follows:

<form action="process.php" method="post">
Form elements and formatting etc.
</form>

The form's action tells it what script to send its data to (in this case its process.php). This can also be a full URL (e.g. http://www.mysite.com/scripts/private/processors/process.php). The method tells the form how to submit its data. POST will send the data in a data stream to the script when it is requested. GET is the other option. GET will send the form data in the form of the url so it would appear after a question mark e.g. http://www.mysite.com/process.php?name=david

It really makes no difference which system you use but it is normally better to use POST if you are using passwords or sensitive information as they should not be shown in the browser's address bar.

Getting The Form Information

The next step is to get the data the form has submitted into your script so that you can do something with it. This is. There are basically two different methods of getting the data into PHP, which depend on how they were submitted. There are two submission methods, GET and POST, which can both be used by forms. The difference between the two is that using GET, the variables and data will be shown in the page address, but using POST it is invisible. The benefit of GET, though is that you can submit information to the script without a form, by simply editing the URL.

This works the same as submitting a form using GET. The advantage of this is that you can create links to your scripts which do different things depending on the link clicked. For example you could create a script which will show different pages depending on the link clicked:

yourpage.php?user=david
could show David's page and:
yourpage.php?user=tom
could show Tom's page, using the same script.

It is also possible to pass more than one piece of information to the script using this system by separating them with the & symbol:

yourpage.php?user=david&referrer=gowansnet&area=6

These could all be accessed separately using the GET variables user, referrer and area.

To get a variable which has been sent to a script using the POST method you use the following code:
$variablename=$_POST['variable'];
which basically takes the variable from the POST (the name of a form field) and assigns it to the variable $variablename.

Similarly, if you are using the GET method you should use the form:
$variablename=$_GET['variable'];

This should be done for each variable you wish to use from your form (or URL).



Creating The Form To Mail Script

To finish off this section, I will show you how to use what you have learnt in this part and the last to create a system which will e-mail a user's comments to you.

Firstly, create this form for your HTML page:

<form action="mail.php" method="post">
Your Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
E-mail: <input type="text" name = "email"><br><br>
Comments<br>
<textarea name="comments"></textarea><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

This will make a simple form where the user can enter their e-mail address, their name and their comments. You can, of course, add extra parts to this form but remember to update the script too. Now create the PHP script:

<?
function checkOK($field)
{
if (eregi("\r",$field) || eregi("\n",$field)){
die("Invalid Input!");
}
}

$name=$_POST['name'];
checkOK($name);
$email=$_POST['email'];
checkOK($email);
$comments=$_POST['comments'];
checkOK($comments);
$to="php@gowansnet.com";
$message="$name just filled in your comments form. They said:\n$comments\n\nTheir e-mail address was: $email";
if(mail($to,"Comments From Your Site",$message,"From: $email\n")) {
echo "Thanks for your comments.";
} else {
echo "There was a problem sending the mail. Please check that you filled in the form correctly.";
}
?>

Remember to replace php@gowansnet.com with your own e-mail address. This script should be saved as mail.php and both should be uploaded. Now, all you need to do is to fill in your comments form.

The first part of that script may look a bit strange:

function checkOK($field)
{
if (eregi("\r",$field) || eregi("\n",$field)){
die("Invalid Input!");
}
}

You don't really need to worry about what this is doing, but basically, it stops spammers from using your form to send thier spam messages by checking special characters are not present in the input which can be used to trick the computer into sending messages to other addresses. It is a fuction which checks for these characters, and if they are found, stops running the script.

The lines:

checkOK($name);

etc. run this check on each input to ensure it is valid.
