In this lovely thread I'll be posting a code snippet each day that involves doing something on your website.

Snippets of code may be in (X)HTML, CSS, JavaScript or PHP. If you would like to see another language sometimes you can contact me via PM.

To use these snippets you'll need at least a basic understanding of the language the snippet is for.

You may also wish to check out the Daily Web Snippet pastebin.

Force IE8 to parse as IE7

Code: 
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

HTML (?)

Forces Internet Explorer 8 to parse HTML and CSS as Internet Explorer 7 does.

You put the snippet in the <head> section of your HTML document.

This only works for Internet Explorer 8 users, Internet Explorer 7 through 1 users (and other browser users) will not be changed.

Why would you want to force an internet browser, which works properly, to not work properly?

IE is most likely going to display it incorrectly anyway.

IE8 isn't too bad. It's better than IE7 and below.

Still. If the syntax is built for 7, and doesn't work correctly in 8, you can add that rather than rewrite all of the code.

Make a minimum width

}

CSS (?)

Users with a screen width smaller than you specify get a horizontal bar at the bottom of their browser, often used for making web pages not break on small screens.

You put the snippet in your CSS stylesheet.

You must change 'XXX' to your desired minimum width in pixels.

You'd need an HTML form, along with JavaScript to save a cookie for that, I think.

Actually, you would need PHP (and SQL).

I don't think you'd need PHP + SQL.
Just an HTML form to submit the information, and a JavaScript cookie to set that the user is logged in, and a function to check if they're logged in.

He did ask for "A user-login system in PHP + MySQL. "

So PHP and MYSQL must be used...:rolleyes:

How would you know what the username/password was if you don't access a database?

Run code for specific IP Addresses

2eelau8.png

PHP: 
<!-- First part -->
<?php
$safe_ip = array();
$safe_ip[0] = "127.0.0.1"; // Change this to the admin IP
// Add any extra IPs here in the format of the above one
?>

<!-- Second part -->
<?php
// Place the below code wherever you want to do admin-only stuff
if (in_array($_SERVER["remote_addr"], $safe_ip))
{
  // Do admin stuff
}
else
{
 // Do normal stuff
}
?>

34q79y8.png

PHP (?)

2vv883t.png

Allows your site to do admin IP verification, executing code for only certain IPs.

n6zucx.png

You put the first part above everything else and the second part where needed.

Pros
  • Impossible to hack into without going onto your internet connection
  • Multiple IPs allowed
Cons
  • Admin access would be given to anybody on your internet connection
  • If your IP (or any other IP listed) changes you'll have to change this code too, or have it auto update with another script

Protip: Use this in combination with a password if you have a Static IP.
