message system

[Glenskie]

Here are some script that i have been working on and i seems to not work so i want to make a select friend list that when they select the friend that they want to send the message to it sends it to them , that sounded stupid but ya. so here is my script , kinda big .

pm_inbox.php i did edit the code from its original state because its to big! so here is the sections where is most needed

<?php

// Start_session, check if user is logged in or not, and connect to the database all in one included file
include_once("scripts/checkuserlog.php");
?>
<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION['idx'])) {
echo  '<br /><br /><font color="#FF0000">Your session has timed out</font>
<p><a href="login.php">Please Click Here</a></p>';
exit(); 
}
//THIS IS WHERE I STARTED
$selecteduser = $_POST["selecteduser"];
$id = "";
$username = "";
$id = preg_replace('#[^0-9]#i', '', $id);
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM myMembers WHERE id='$id' LIMIT 1");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ 
    $username = $row["username"];
$friend_array = $row["friend_array"];
$check_pic = "members/$id/image01.jpg";
$default_pic = "members/0/image01.jpg";
if (file_exists($check_pic)) {
    $user_pic = "<img src=\"$check_pic?$cacheBuster\" width=\"218px\" />"; 
} else {
$user_pic = "<img src=\"$default_pic\" width=\"218px\" />"; 
}

$selecteduser .= "<option value='$friend_array'>Friends</option>";



}






// Decode the Session IDX variable and extract the user's ID from it
$decryptedID = base64_decode($_SESSION['idx']);
$id_array = explode("p3h9xfn8sq03hs2234", $decryptedID);
$my_id = $id_array[1];
$my_uname = $_SESSION['username']; // Put user's first name into a local variable
// ------- ESTABLISH THE INTERACTION TOKEN ---------
$thisRandNum = rand(9999999999999,999999999999999999);
$_SESSION['wipit'] = base64_encode($thisRandNum); // Will always overwrite itself each time this script runs
// ------- END ESTABLISH THE INTERACTION TOKEN ---------
?>
<?php
// Mailbox Parsing for deleting inbox messages
if (isset($_POST['deleteBtn'])) {
    foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
        $value = urlencode(stripslashes($value));
	if ($key != "deleteBtn") {
	   $sql = mysql_query("UPDATE private_messages SET recipientDelete='1', opened='1' WHERE id='$value' AND to_id='$my_id' LIMIT 1");
	   // Check to see if sender also removed from sent box, then it is safe to remove completely from system
	}
    }
header("location: pm_inbox.php");
}
?>

Don't just throw a big lump of code on here and say "it seems not to work".

 

You need to explain exactly:

 

1. What are the expected results?

2. What are the actual results?

3. What are the error messages? (turn errors on or look in the log)

4. What have you done so far to debug?

Since you gave us no specifi error or explanation, I'm just guessing: This block of code:

 

// Start Private Messaging stuff
$('#pmForm').submit(function(){$('input[type=submit]', this).attr('disabled', 'disabled');});
function sendPM ( ) {
      var pmSubject = $("#pmSubject");
  var pmTextArea = $("#pmTextArea");
  var sendername = $("#pm_sender_name");
  var senderid = $("#pm_sender_id");
  var recName = $("#pm_rec_name");
  var recID = $("#pm_rec_id");
  var pm_wipit = $("#pmWipit");
  var url = "scripts_for_profile/private_msg_parse.php";
      if (pmSubject.val() == "") {
           $("#interactionResults").html('<img src="images/round_error.png" alt="Error" width="31" height="30" />   Please type a subject.').show().fadeOut(6000);
      } else if (pmTextArea.val() == "") {
	   $("#interactionResults").html('<img src="images/round_error.png" alt="Error" width="31" height="30" />   Please type in your message.').show().fadeOut(6000);
      } else {
	   $("#pmFormProcessGif").show();
	   $.post(url,{ subject: pmSubject.val(), message: pmTextArea.val(), senderName: sendername.val(), senderID: senderid.val(), rcpntName: recName.val(), rcpntID: recID.val(), thisWipit: pm_wipit.val() } ,           function(data) {
		   $('#private_message').slideUp("medium");
		   $("#interactionResults").html(data).show().fadeOut(10000);
		   document.pmForm.pmTextArea.value='';
		   document.pmForm.pmSubject.value='';
		   $("#pmFormProcessGif").hide();
           });
  }
}function toggleViewAllFriends(x) {
	if ($('#'+x).is(":hidden")) {
		$('#'+x).fadeIn(200);
	} else {
		$('#'+x).fadeOut(200);
	}
}
// End Private Messaging stuff</script>

 

ends with a script closing tag (</script>) but there's no script start tag.
