I'm trying to make a simple like button. I've spent about 2 days non-stop on dealing with this cursed nigger code and I'm ready to fucking kill myself.
Like button:
> <input type="image" src="img/like.png" alt="Like" value="Like">
> <input type="hidden" name="IP" value="<?php $_SERVER ["REMOTE_ADDR"] ?>">
Gay PHP/MySQL:
> <?php
> if (!empty($_POST)) {
> $connection = mysqli_connect ("db_like");
> $statement = mysqli_prepare ($connection, "INSERT INTO Like (User, PageId) VALUES (?, > ?)");
> mysqli_stmt_bind_param ($statement, "si", $_POST["IP"], $_GET["id"]);
> mysqli_stmt_execute ($statement);
> exit;
> }
> ?>
It's here that I just want to display the amount of likes on the page with the corresponding like botton:
> $connection = mysqli_connect ("realhdgi_like");
> $statement = mysqli_prepare ($connection, "SELECT * FROM Like WHERE PageId=$_GET["id"];");
Which gives me this error:
>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '"', expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or number (T_NUM_STRING)
WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN? SPEAK ENGLISH YOU SATANIC MEXICAN
>NO HABLO PHP
>Stackoverflow keeps banning me for being stupid
>Help me or I'm sudoku
I see where the error is, but first tell me, what do you want to create?

A special video site where clicking the like button redirects the user to another random video. So does the dislike button, but I don't count the dislikes as they don't matter.

In strings to access array elements you don't use $a["b"] but $a[b]. Yes, php is weird. That'sthe error.
Also, what are you doing? You are sending a hidden field with the IP addr that anyone can change. I could just spam your site with IP addresses.
Also there's SQL injection everywhere.
I would VERY STRONGLY advise you to forget about this code and use Laravel. PHP is a big mess with no design and it creates very messy code without a framework.
Read this tutorial: https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/quickstart

No, seriously, do as I say. A site with SQL injection vulnerabilities will be quickly taken down by scripts and your (even if meaningless) data will be stolen.
>>52479943
Fucking shit. Thanks.
How else would I prevent people from voting twice than with IPs?
Do you personally know a good resource for learning to prevent SQL injecting?

Use. A. Framework. Such as Laravel.
The more correct answer would be to use a SQL library to prepare statements (which is in Laravel as well), but there's a lot more gotchas in PHP that a framework (such as Laravel) helps you with.

Use pdo instead of mysql _connect
>>52480056
Okay. I'll probably drink bleach before I figure out how to do this. My brain is ruined and now I have to learn Laravel. It's just a fucking like button, I thought it would be simple. Now 2 days of work is down the drain. I'm fucking stupid and coding is fucking stupid.

Also you are having a logical error here. You are sending the IP addr to a client, then when the client clicks like you are retrivering his IP addres that you told him he has.. why? Just use $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDRESS'] instead of $_POST['IP'] in the button handling.

It'll be easier from there.
>>52480149
Not necessary to learn this. Just have a look at PDO and consider using a template system like smarty to avoid a messy php<>HTML mixed code.
Use AJAX to autoupdate the counter with php.
>>52480210
Not necessary, the user is redirected to another page upon click

Doesn't surprise me It's a miracle anything managed to be correct in this abomination of a like button code.
>>52480185
Do you really think that he is capable of that?
