Problem with code

[chizu]

Hi! I am making a personal messaging system for my virtual pet site, but I am having problems. I think that the preuserID varialble isn't showing up for some reason, but I am not sure. I've been working on this script all day! Help much needed. Thanks!

<?
session_start();
$session=session_id( );

include ("/secure/config.php");

$username=$_POST['to'];
$subject=$_POST['subject'];
$message=$_POST['message'];
$preuserID=$_POST['preuserID'];

$username_check = "SELECT * FROM chibifriends WHERE preuserName = '$username'";
$check_result = mysql_query($username_check,$connection);
$username_data = mysql_fetch_array($check_result);
$check_rows = mysql_num_rows($check_result);

if ($check_rows < 1) {
echo "Sorry, there is no user by the name of $username";
}
else {
function cleanup($subject) {
    $words = "form,noscript,meta,iframe,script,layer,style,filter,body,background,cursor,scrollbar,include,****,***,neopets,dick,***,homo,*****,lesbian,dike,pussy,****,sex,blowjob,suck,cwhome,cum,ecritters,aftermathzone,hump,******,gook,spic,*****";
    $wordarray = explode(",", $words);
    foreach ($wordarray as $word) {
        $subject = eregi_replace($word, " ", $subject);
    }
    return $subject;
}


function cleanup1($message) {
    $words = "form,noscript,meta,iframe,script,layer,style,filter,body,background,cursor,scrollbar,include,****,***,neopets,dick,***,homo,*****,lesbian,dike,pussy,****,sex,blowjob,suck,cwhome,cum,ecritters,aftermathzone,hump,******,gook,spic,*****";
    $wordarray = explode(",", $words);
    foreach ($wordarray as $word) {
        $message = eregi_replace($word, " ", $message);
    }
    return $message;
}

$subject =cleanup($subject);
$message =cleanup1($message);
$toID = $username_data[preuserID];

echo "$message $subject $preuserID $toID";
$send = 'INSERT into starbits values (NULL, "$toID", "'.$preuserID.'", "'.$subject.'", "'.$message.'", "'.$unread.'",);';
$result_send = mysql_query($send)or die("Error 1a");
echo "Your message has been sent!";
}
?>

// Replace
$send = 'INSERT into starbits values (NULL, "$toID", "'.$preuserID.'", "'.$subject.'", "'.$message.'", "'.$unread.'",);';
// with this
$send = 'INSERT into starbits values (NULL, "'.$toID.'", "'.$preuserID.'", "'.$subject.'", "'.$message.'", "'.$unread.'",);';

Thanks for responding. It still dosn't work. I accidently made unread into an variable, which it is not. And the table name starbits, was supposed to be starmail, but I am still having problems. Here is the new code.

<?
session_start();
$session=session_id( );

include ("secure/config2.php");

$username=$_POST['to'];
$subject=$_POST['subject'];
$message=$_POST['message'];

$username_check = "SELECT * FROM chibifriends WHERE preuserName = '$username'";
$check_result = mysql_query($username_check,$connection);
$username_data = mysql_fetch_array($check_result);
$check_rows = mysql_num_rows($check_result);

if ($check_rows < 1) {
echo "Sorry, there is no user by the name of $username";
}
else {
function cleanup($subject) {
    $words = "form,noscript,meta,iframe,script,layer,style,filter,body,background,cursor,scrollbar,include,****,***,neopets,dick,***,homo,*****,lesbian,dike,pussy,****,sex,blowjob,suck,cwhome,cum,ecritters,aftermathzone,hump,******,gook,spic,*****";
    $wordarray = explode(",", $words);
    foreach ($wordarray as $word) {
        $subject = eregi_replace($word, " ", $subject);
    }
    return $subject;
}


function cleanup1($message) {
    $words = "form,noscript,meta,iframe,script,layer,style,filter,body,background,cursor,scrollbar,include,****,***,neopets,dick,***,homo,*****,lesbian,dike,pussy,****,sex,blowjob,suck,cwhome,cum,ecritters,aftermathzone,hump,******,gook,spic,*****";
    $wordarray = explode(",", $words);
    foreach ($wordarray as $word) {
        $message = eregi_replace($word, " ", $message);
    }
    return $message;
}

$subject =cleanup($subject);
$message =cleanup1($message);

$toID = $username_data[preuserID];

$send = 'INSERT into starmail values (NULL, "'.$toID.'", "'.$preuserID.'", "'.$subject.'", "'.$message.'", "'.unread.'");'; 
$result_send = mysql_query($send) or die("Error");
echo "Your message has been sent!";
}
?>

Thanks!

Hi chizu,

can i know what is preuserID in $toID = $username_data[preuserID]??

is it $preuserID=$_POST['preuserID'];

then u need the put the statement:
$toID = $username_data[preuserID]
as $toID = $username_data[$preuserID];
or
$toID = mysql_fetch_array($preuserID);

and u did not declare $preuserID=$_POST['preuserID']; in ur second post(remember to put that in...)

[chizu]

preuserID has already been set in my config file. The toID variable is right. Thanks though. This script is really confusing me now. It should be so simple! I still can't figure it out!
