Re: [V1 && V2]Change Username Color

I was told by someone that if you change user name colours there is some possible bug.

Is this true?

Re: [V1 && V2]Change Username Color

Revised for you, loads of code was not needed and some markup errors

Also using the <font> tag isn't reccomended as it has depreciated. try something like..

echo '<span class="'.$ir['username_color'].'-username">'.$ir['username'].'</span>';

You can then add username-black, username-red, username-blue and username-green to your CSS.

Not if you do it right it won't, I advise following POG1's method.

Also, +1 Sniko`

Your posting alot of nice free stuff, your learning :-)

Re: [V1 && V2]Change Username Color

Yeah actually this does seem to be done correctly. Only thing id say is you need a code to check if the colour that has been posted by the user is one of those options, cant trust those firefox addons anymore ;) Posts need to be secured in every way possible.

Doesn't seems a really safe way to handle the thing. Basically here you let your player enter more or less whatever they want, could be a link, a script or whatever else. A good way to let players hack other players accounts ;)

How about using a function.

My current username format

usage "nameFormat($ir['userid']);"

Includes if they have a "Faction/gang" etc..

currently im using it as a external script eg:.. namescript.php etc..

But with some alterations it can be

The best way personally is do keep it simple IMHO. Why type up so much code hundred's of times to display the same thing? Just use a function.. Surely everyone knows them.

Might contain an error, I haven't coded anything for a while.

Vortex23:

Your $uInfo['uColour'] implies you store the color as it is directly in the database. Fine as long as you double check what players set as color at the beginning. Otherwise it could open the door to XSS exploits. If you don't know what that means, I can make an example.

[Karlos94]

a_bertrand:

I only did that as an example, however I would first off make the field in the mysql database and make sure they can't input anything different. I also understand where your coming from about XSS expolits. Also whenever someone checks input data before inserting or updating anything, they need to make sure that it goes into there database exactly how it should, by that I mean not allowing any chance for an exploit or bug to occur.

Regex can do this -.-

Note - I didnt do the regex came from a regex site.

That is a valid point, however preg_match() can see to slow down the processing. I'd personally say K.I.S.S (Keep it simple stupid..), this seems like that you rather use something more complex than needed. Try messing with a ternary operator and inclue these functions..

• isset()
  
• empty()
  
• strtolower()
  
• array()
  
• in_array()
  
• strlen()

As I said.. K.I.S.S

[Uridium]

Where have i heared that word K.I.S.S before.... Someone on here used to use it all the time..

Nyna springs to mind lol

[a_bertrand]

For such small thing, a regexp is just fine. And personally I would do the check while writing it to the DB as opposed to every time it's displayed, just to shave a bit server resources.

[Karlos94]

I can understand what you mean for a small thing, but wouldn't checking the input to an array be more efficent compared to regexp? I would test but I have no access to any testing enviroments at this moment in time.

[a_bertrand]

Regexp are not really efficient, but are anyhow fast. Now, where is your bottleneck, the server CPU?, the server HDD? or the network?

For me the server CPU is not the bottleneck, I do have more troubles with the network (for far away players) and some times the HDD, so I don't even start thinking about optimizing such small things. Also a regexp ensure you have LOT more flexibility when you need it. I still use strpos or equivalents when I just search a position inside a string but regexp are really good at finding non fixed things.

K.I.S.S. Stands For Many People As-Keep It Simple Stupid....Comes From Schooling I Think....At Least It Was Used In My GED Classes....LMMFAO.... :thumbsup:
