PHP - Problems Passing Along The Product Id As A Parameter.

Hi there, I'm trying to get the full Product Name in the <title> of each of the product pages - I can't seem to figure out what to put in the product_info.php...  I've tried a few different options but I'm not great with php
Here's what I have currently but it creates errors...

<script language="javascript"><!--
document.write('<title><?php echo TITLE; ?> : <?php echo $product_info['products_name']; ?> </title>');
//--></script>

Hope someone can help - thanks so much!

Please forgive my limited knowledge of php. 

I am trying to pass a variable from 1 page to the next.  I have SCRIPT A (I didn't write it) that parses an rss feed and then calls SCRIPT B to insert it into a database. 

Everything works great.. and all I'm trying to do is add a new piece of information.  In my db, I added a column called 'city'.  There are currently 25 different SCRIPT A's (25 different city names).  I could create 25 SCRIPT Bs and call them individually, but I'm trying to use 1 SCRIPT B and just send the city name. 

I've read about POST and GET but still not sure on this?  Can't I just hard code my city name into each SCRIPT A like this:
Code: [Select]
$city = "miami";
And then put this at the top of SCRIPT B?
Code: [Select]
$city = $_GET['city'];
Well.. apparently, I can't because that doesn't work.  Again.. sorry for the dumb question.  It's my first time attempting anything with php. 

Thanks.

I have the following code just to insert a username and hashed password into the database but somehow I am getting this error and I couldn't find out where I am doing it wrong...can someone please give me a hand?   I tried it in two ways and both errors... the first few lines are just connecting database which worked fine and a password.php so I can use password_hash() with my php version

$hash = password_hash('xx', PASSWORD_BCRYPT, array('cost' => 10));
$username = 'xx';


$insertQuery = $db->prepare("
		INSERT INTO et_todo (username, password)
		VALUES (:username, :hash)
	");

$insertQuery->execute(array(
		'username' => $username,
		'password' => $hash
	));

also tried

$hash = password_hash('xx', PASSWORD_BCRYPT, array('cost' => 10));

$insertQuery = $db->prepare("
		INSERT INTO et_todo (username, password)
		VALUES ('xx', :hash)
	");

$insertQuery->execute(array(
		'username' => 'xx',
		'password' => $hash
	));

Hello,   I recently posted here about an issue I was having with my database orientated products page.   I have now run into another problem where say if, /db.php was typed or /db.php?p=IDoNotExist was typed, it returns blank.   I have in my code the desired content to be displayed, but it just doesn't seem to want to make a show.   I was also wondering if it is possible to show different content for whatever the URL is, so for no parameter, the content about the products, and a non existent one, maybe "Product not found"?   Here is my code:

<?php
	$db=mysql_connect  ("localhost", "webwibco_charlie",  "Hello123") or die ('I cannot connect to the database  because: ' . mysql_error()); 
	$mydb=mysql_select_db("webwibco_products"); 

	include("header.php");

	$status = htmlspecialchars( @$_GET ['p'] );

	if ($status == "floorpuzzles") {

		     echo "<h1>Our Floor Puzzles</h1>";
		$sql="SELECT  ID, Name, Tags, Description, Category FROM products WHERE Category LIKE '%" . FloorPuzzles .  "%'"; 
		$result=mysql_query($sql); 
		while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ 
			$Name  =$row['Name'];
			$ID  =$row['ID']; 
			$Description  =$row['Description'];  
			echo "<div class=\"box\">";
			echo "<h1>$Name</h1>";
			echo "<div class=\"floorbox\"><a href=\"?p=$ID\"><img src=\"images/products/catalogue/big/floorpuzzles/$ID.jpg\" class=\"small\"></a></div>";
			echo "<h2>$Description</h2>";
			echo "</div>";
		}
?>
<?
}else{



	if ($status == $_GET["p"]) {
		$sql="SELECT  ID, Name, Tags, Description, Pieces, Size, Barcode, Category FROM products WHERE ID = '" . $_GET['p'] .  "'";   
		$result=mysql_query($sql);   
		while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){  
			$Name  =$row['Name'];
			$ID  =$row['ID']; 
			$Description  =$row['Description']; 
			$Pieces  =$row['Pieces']; 
			$Size  =$row['Size']; 
			$Barcode  =$row['Barcode'];   
			echo "<div class=\"1\">";
			echo "<h1>$Name</h1>";
			echo "<div class=\"bigbox\">";
			echo "<div class=\"floorbox\"><img src=\"images/products/catalogue/big/floorpuzzles/$ID.jpg\" class=\"big\"></div>";
			echo "</div>";
			echo "</div>";
			echo "<div class=\"2\">";
			echo "<p>Puzzle Pieces: $Pieces</p>
				  <p>Puzzle Size: $Size</p>
				  <p>Barcode: $Barcode</p>";
			echo "</div>"; 
		} 
		}else{
?>
<?
			echo"<h1>Our Products</h1>
				<p>Our jigsaw puzzles are hand cut by skilled craftsmen and therefore each one is unique with self-correcting pieces. There is a strict quality control process at all stages by our highly experienced staff. The puzzles are durable and provide fun and excitement, enhancing learning and a child’s development.<p>
				<p>All of our jigsaws are made using materials from sustainable resources grown in managed forests. Where possible we support companies in the UK and source our components locally, most of our suppliers are in the East Midlands, many in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. We keep packaging to a minimum and take our environmental and ethical responsibilities very seriously.</p>
				<p>Reducing waste and recycling was a way of life for us before it became fashionable. We are constantly searching for new ideas and consult teachers when developing our jigsaws, which are often used within the national curriculum.</p> 
				<p>As well as making our own range, we manufacture for leading suppliers to the education market. Check for \"Made in Britain\" and it is probably made by us.</p>
				<p>We have a wide variety of products available for viewing, from classic floor puzzles to innovative inset trays. You can take a look at all our products on this page, simply use the navigation buttons to your left.</p>";

				
				}}

include("footer.php");
?>

The final echo is what I wish to be displayed on the URL without or with an invalid parameter.   Here is my site URL: http://www.webwib.co...saws/search.php (note that only the "Floor Puzzles" category has content within it).   Thank you in advance for assistance.

I cant get my head around this. I m trying to add product attributes into this script.

I have products tables and product_extras

product.id and product_extras.id are same. How can I add this to cart. Is there any easy way to do this.

Any help would be  much appreciated!

My table looks like this..

`guns_id` int(255) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `guns_name` varchar(255) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
  `guns_price` int(255) NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY  (`guns_id`)

I want to add a product key that is unique through out the whole database as I have other products other than guns aswell.

i have shopping cart i need to make the related product section in which i can show the related product when user view the product details.

do i need to create any table for it ?

please guide me about it.
thanks

I am wanting to do something similar to this:
http://www.dimarzio.com/pickup-picker

My question involves the concept rather than any specific code on how to execute this.

For example, we are selling violins and we want the user to input info about their playing style, and give them the three best violins based on their entry. This is the data I've been given:

Level: Beginner Intermediate Advanced Soil, Kreisler, Gibson Soil, Kreisler, Ysaye, Cremonese, Gibson Cannon, Soil, Ysaye, K.Joseph, Keifetz Bowing Style: Soft Medium Hard Soil, Medici, Kreisler Soil, Medici, K.Joseph, Ysaye Cannon, Kreisler, Soil, Heifetz Musical Style Classical Fiddle Rock Ysaye, Soil, Provigny Medici, Ysaye, K.Joseph Kreisler, Diable, Vieuxtemps Desired Tone: Bright Balanced Dark Soil, Medici, Provigny Kreisler, Soil, Ysaye Cannon, Diable, Plowden
So if the user inputs Expert, Hard, Rock, and Dark I will data sets of violins consisting of: Cannon, Soil, Ysaye, K.Joseph, Heifetz // Cannon, Kreisler, Soil, Heifetz // Kreisler, Diable, Vieuxtemps // Cannon, Diable, Plowden

Out of those I need to output the user the three best choices for them. Cannon is listed in 3 out of the 4, so that has to be #1. Now there are three more violins that match two of the criteria. The Soil, Kriesler and Diable. In order to drill that down to two choices, I would think the questions would have to be ranked according to importance. For instance Tone is most important, followed by bowing style, musical genre, and skill level. Based on that ranking, the program should choose the Diable and Kreisler.

I am not entirely sure how to approach this. Since this data will not change frequently, should this even get the database involved? Should the info just be stored in a multi-dimensional array? Once the data is in an array, whether from the DB or not, how should I go about programming the logic to examine the arrays in order of importance and grab the violins that are most relevant?

Any help is much appreciated! I figured this was going to be easy, until I actually started thinking about it!

hi, baiscally i have a products that go into the products mysql and get called by php

but with each product there are different options,

 e.g. mens jumper - comes in sizes m,l,xl,xxl

mens jeans might only come in s, m, l

shoes are in 6,7,8,9,10,11

my question is how do i make a drop down list different for each product, when there all in the same db, if some one can reccomend a tutorial or a concept, i would really appreciate it

thank you

I have made a custom post type for products, and am using a custom taxonomy for the product categories. The thing that I am wondering about is that sometimes a product category is a parent, and sometimes a child, but sometimes both. For instance, if you have a top level category named shoes, then you might have a sub category named Nike. However, Nike also has shirts, so you could say that shoes and shirts were both subcategories of Nike. Do you know what I'm saying? It's like there is no real parent to child relationship, but they are both parents and both children of each other. How do you handle this type of situation?

I am a php programmer but I am not so good with XML files.
For a price comparison website, I need to parse the Amazons XML feed to store product data into the database.

Can anyone please help me to find out such a simple script to parse Amazon XML product feed???
(Actually, I need each product data in array to be stored into the database)

Thank you in advance.

Hello all! I am new to the forums and this is my first post. I've tried to search for an answer but have come up empty handed so I thought I'd just ask outright.

I am building a website for a local car dealership and they want to have a "Vehicles" page where it shows a list of all the vehicles in inventory and the consumer can sort the inventory by Make, Model, Year, Color, and/or Price. I'm working with php and MySQL and I am a newbie coder trying to learn on my own. I know how to sort querys but I am completely lost when it comes to sorting with dynamic/multiple variable chosen by the user. Please help. I know my code sucks but any advise will be SUPER helpful.

Code: [Select]
<?php
include "storescripts/connect_to_mysql.php";

Hello.  I am rolling my first-ever e-commerce site, and could use some help on designing a product gallery.

My site will be selling books and guides, and similar to what you might see on Amazon or Barnes & Noble, I want to create a product gallery which displays all products for a given category.

For simplicity, let's say that I am only selling paper books, and that is what I want to display - so for the purposes of this conversation, no need to filter on product type.

When a user clicks on the product catalog, I was thinking of simply displaying all products (e.g. eBooks) in  gallery containing thumbnails in a grid arrangement.  The user would click on the thumbnail - which would be the cover of the book - and then be taken to a product page which would have all of the details, including: a larger thumbnail of the book, book title, description, price, author, etc.

I suppose I could have a test title and description below each thumbnail?

Anyways, I am a little uncertain of how all of this would work from a technical standpoint?!

I guess I was thinking that each thumbnail would have a link behind it, which would then load my "product_details.php" page AND pass along something like a "ProductID" in the URL, so that my product_details.php" script could query my database and pull up the book's details.

How does that sound?

I look forward to hearing what you PHP gurus have to say!!  🙂
