Imagine if a form is created to collect information from a customer base. I would like to create a hashed link to each entry (or be able to generate a hashed link on demand) and send it out to individual customers. They would be then be able to click on that link and edit their form entry without admin access... Currently editing individual entries are only editable by admin user. I have most of that routine worked out...I just have not figured out a easy exit out of the edit form for non-admin users. I put together these hash functions in a file (includes/hash-functions.php) <code> function create_hash_links ($input) { $str_length = strlen($input); $key1 = "1 - Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict."; $key2 = time(); $alg = "rijndael-128"; $cmode = 'ecb'; /* open the cipher */ $iv_size = mcrypt_get_iv_size($alg, $cmode); $iv = mcrypt_create_iv($iv_size, MCRYPT_DEV_RANDOM); $ks = mcrypt_get_key_size($alg, $cmode); /* create key */ $key1 = md5($key1); $key2 = md5($key2); $key = substr($key1, 0, $ks/2) . substr(strtoupper($key2), (round(strlen($key2) / 2)), $ks/2); $key = substr($key.$key1.$key2.strtoupper($key1),0,$ks); /* Encrypt and encode data */ $enc = mcrypt_encrypt($alg,$key, $input, $cmode, $iv); $enc_val = rawurlencode(base64_encode($enc)); /* encode key */ $encoded_key = rawurlencode(base64_encode($key)); $ret_val = "h=". $enc_val . "&k=" . $encoded_key; return $ret_val; } function retrieve_hashed_links($hashed_input) { $hash = base64_decode(rawurldecode($hashed_input['h'])); $key = base64_decode(rawurldecode($hashed_input['k'])); $alg = "rijndael-128"; $cmode = 'ecb'; /* open the cipher */ $iv_size = mcrypt_get_iv_size($alg, $cmode); $iv = mcrypt_create_iv($iv_size, MCRYPT_DEV_RANDOM); /* Decrypt encrypted string */ $decrypted = trim(mcrypt_decrypt($alg, $key, $hash, $cmode, $iv)); return $decrypted; } </code> A version of edit_entry.php would then call these functions ... <code> $url = retrieve_hashed_links($_GET); parse_str($url, $output); $form_id = $output['id']; $entry_id = $output['edit']; if(empty($form_id) || empty($entry_id)){ die('Invalid Link.'); } //set session value to override password protected form and captcha $_SESSION['user_authenticated'] = $form_id; if(!empty($_GET['done'])){ $markup = display_success($form_id); }else{ //get initial form values $form_values = get_entry_values($form_id,$entry_id); $markup = display_form($form_id,$form_values,'','',$entry_id); } </code> AMurray on "Update Link" http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/update-link#post-1352 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:25:26 +0000 AMurray 1352@http://www.appnitro.com/forums/ I assume Startupguy means to edit the record; in the Admin screen the admin person has the ability to edit the SQL records; so Startupguy wants the ability for users to go back to an existing record to edit it - much like you can do with this forum, if you have posted an answer and want to add to it, you click "Edit" and it allows you to add to that existing posting. yuniar on "Update Link" http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/update-link#post-1350 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 11:39:35 +0000 yuniar 1350@http://www.appnitro.com/forums/ Sorry, what do you mean by edit/update link for the form? Update the entry? Or update the form? startupguy on "Update Link" http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/update-link#post-1349 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 21:04:54 +0000 startupguy 1349@http://www.appnitro.com/forums/ Is there a way to create an edit/update link for the form ? If we have someone fill out a form and they don't have all the information handy, it would be nice to send them a hashed link and have them update it... -startupguy
