PHP/MySQL/Html5 Coding Help (Forms)
Hello LEB,
I need help developing my website.
1) When I try to insert data from a drop down predefined from a MySQL DB, the insert does not work if there is a apostrophe, other wise the form works perfectly fine.
2) I want choices in a form to be restricted. Say each choice has a different budget, I want:
a) Total selected options not to exceed points/balance
b) Must select at least 1 options from a certain category
c) Can not select more than 3 options from one category
d) Max amount and minimum amount of options selected in is 8
e) There is a budget of 10 Points, each option is worth a different amount of points predetermined.
f) Get the average and most recent score for each option
Options are predefined in the database.
If I could please get help with form creation and display based on html/php/mysql, this would be great.
I am willing to pay and/or donate for compensation if needed.

Mysql_real_escape_string(string with apostrophe)
He should be using pdo at this day and age
PDO or GTFO
PDO or mysqli. Both are decent.
I still support PDO as learning how to use it will allow you to use a ton of different database structures as needed. You do bring up a fair point though
Just Google pdo, its way too easy to migrate, and you dont need worry about escaping strings which = good for lazy ppl.
I use MySQLi
Still have to bind and prepare statements = worse for lazy people
But awful coding practices. If someone is worried and doesn't know or 'want' to properly cast variables..is quite frankly.. shouldn't be coding in the first place. :P
Nahhh....
Using mysql extension is not a bad practice. Concatenating SQL strings is.
For those who are lazy, I've been using ADOdb for a while and that's placeholder style query call. No bind and prepare, just call like
('... where id = ? ', id).Sorry I was writing it as lazy as possible.
Thanks all, Mysql_real_escape_string(string with apostrophe) worked just fine.
For the form creation part, where can I hire someone with a low budget?
Depends on what a "low budget" means for you.
Cant get lower than free. Ive got time at the weekends and a few hours each night (GMT). Currently on an internship working on Openstack Swift but would like to fill my CV with some frontend / full stack work. Cant guarantee anything but send a PM if interested or you want a CV / more info on what I'm currently doing.
