I have 3 pairs sitting at my house. Got my 3rd last night off a mob while I soloed rikktor.

Code: Select all

foreach($_POST as $arg=>$val)if(preg_match("/^setting_/",$arg)) $vararray[str_replace("setting_","",$arg)]=SBsqlFixPost($val);	

It searches and fixes settings on posts.


Do i win?

lol.


OR... It makes valorite ore pregnant and matches who the daddy is .

Close, but I should give some kind of indication of where it's used. It's for a forum script I'm coding. $_POST is an array with any information send via a form when you hit submit.

for each post that has (something innapropriate?) it prevents the post and sends it to the fix post menu?

Something along the lines of for each post with a certain string condition, the string gets changed. The string itself seems to pertain to "settings" so I'm assuming that for every post where the settings are changed, the rest of the posts settings will be changed.

Your on the right track. But to not put too much essence on that sqlfixpost function, all that does is clean up the data of any inappropriate data that could be used to inject commands in the database. Other then that, it does not do anything special.

Also, it's part of the admin interface.

Actually, it was the "preg_match" part that got me thinking wtf. Not sure what the preg part denotes.

perg_match checks for a regular expression match in a string. looking up foreach might help as well.

if it's anything like VB/C# for each is a conditional loop for elements of an array. It loops until the maxlength of the array.

It loops through the Submitted information, and assigns it to $arg=>$val.
if that variable is /^setting_/ replace it with setting_

in the foreach loop the current element's key will be assigned to $arg

and the value of the post will be assigned to $var

replaces any occurance of setting_ with nothing in the variable arg

takes everything in $_POST[] that starts with setting_ and stores in another array

that about right?

You're pretty close I'll give it to you.

What it does is it loops through the $_POST array, and if the index name starts with setting_ then it assigns the value to another array, but instead of the index being called setting_nnn it's just nnn.

So if a form field's name is setting_test

then $_POST[setting_test] would be put in $vararray[test]

in php instead of arrays using numbers they use names, but you can also refer to their numbers.

If you expand it, its actually simple. Just looks like haxor code when its on one line
