PHP - Updating Mysql Based On What Day Of The Month It Is
so im trying to setup a page for my bills that i pay monthly so me and my gf can access it remotely whenever we need to. we have a few loans that we are paying off in installment loans every month so i created a table like the picture below (which is actually in excel but it looks about the same). i know how to pull via select and sum everything that i need but what i'm actually going for is this:
every month on those certain due dates i'd like for the monthly payment to be subtracted from the balance automatically..and it show the reflected balance. i'm not sure how to go about such a thing though as i've never worked with dates and times. my logic is that i have to setup a beginning time stamp for it to work off of..and then every 30 days from that time stamp..subtract the payment. then again, there's not always 30 days in a month and it'd get off track. any ideas? Similar TutorialsHi: I'm going crazy trying to do the following: I'm making a job registration process where the user registers on one php page to the website, must acknowlege and email receipt using an activate php page, then is directed to upload their C.V. (resume) based on the email address they enter in the active page output. I then run an upload page to store the resume in teh MySQL db based on the users email address in the same record. If I isolate the process of the user registering to the db, it works perfectly. If I isolate the file upload process into the db, it works perfect. I simply cannot upload teh file to the existing record based on teh email form field matching the user_email field in the db. With the processes together, teh user is activated, but teh file is not uploaded. Maybe I've simply been at this too long today, but am compeled to get through it by end day. If anyone can help sugest a better way or help me fix this, I will soo greatly appreciate it. My code is as follows for the 2 pages. ---------activate.php------- <?php session_start(); include ('reg_dbc.php'); if (!isset($_GET['usr']) && !isset($_GET['code']) ) { $msg = "ERROR: The code does not match.."; exit(); } $rsCode = mysql_query("SELECT activation_code from subscribers where user_email='$_GET[usr]'") or die(mysql_error()); list($acode) = mysql_fetch_array($rsCode); if ($_GET['code'] == $acode) { mysql_query("update subscribers set user_activated=1 where user_email='$_GET[usr]'") or die(mysql_error()); echo "<h3><center>Thank You!

I have successfully populated a drop down list by reading the database. It populates with a list of quest titles. Once the user selects the quest. I want a textbox to populate with the Quest Description. I found an example that uses AJAX/PHP to do this, but it doesn't access a db to read/populate. The main code is in index.html The original example you select a country, and it populates a text field with the currency code. It passes a variable called $country to another file called find_ccode.php. I changed the first case in find_ccode.php to access my database, and populate the text box with quest description. Ideally I will like to make this case dynamic based off QuestID, would populate textbox with corresponding Quest Description (QDescrip). I then tried the other way in index.php I dynamically populated the dropdown list, and gave the option values the QuestIDs to be passed to $country, but something isn't working. I have a write files command to let me know what the $country variable is passing, and it never writes. It works in index.html though. I apologize in advance for my amateurish coding. I still have a lot to learn. I have included the code below, but if you know a more elegant way of doing it. I am creating a role-playing game, as you probably have figured out by now. I hope to one day put it on the web, but right now using it as a way of learning html, and PHP. I really want to know how to catch the value of the dropdown box. I would like to know what it is before sending over. also what is this.value. I assume this is what the value of the dropdown box is when you have selected something. I have been beating my head for days trying to figure this out. Any help is very much appreciated!

Thank you Hi friends, I'm looking to try and echo the profits from a MySQL "totals" table for each month of the year... the table bascically consists of a "totals" column which contains the total amount spent on each order, a "suppliertotals" column which contains the total amount that it costs us to buy the goods for that order and an "orderdate" column which stores the order date as "d/m/y" (so 01/01/01). To work out the total margin from the complete table, I calculate the sum of totals minus the sum of suppliertotals. This is our margin. I'm currently doing the calculation with MySQL's sum() function, and using PHP explode to get the date, but I'm obviously doing something wrong since PHP is returning the same month several times with different amounts... Let me show you the code I have; I presume I need to use some kind of foreach statement, but I'm not sure where or how... hoping you can help! if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("onetelec_wsshop", $con); $result=mysql_query("SELECT orderdate FROM totals", $con); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $ordmonth = explode("/", $row['orderdate']); $ordmonth = $ordmonth[1]; switch ($ordmonth) { case "01": $stresult=mysql_query("SELECT sum(total), sum(stotal) FROM totals WHERE ordate LIKE '%/$ordmonth/%'", $con); while($strow = mysql_fetch_array($stresult)) { $margin = $strow['sum(total)'] - $strow['sum(stotal)']; } echo $margin." for January<br /><br />"; break; case "02": $stresult=mysql_query("SELECT sum(total), sum(stotal) FROM totals WHERE ordate LIKE '%/$ordmonth/%'", $con); while($strow = mysql_fetch_array($stresult)) { $margin = $strow['sum(total)'] - $strow['sum(stotal)']; } echo $margin." for February<br /><br />"; break; case "03": $stresult=mysql_query("SELECT sum(total), sum(stotal) FROM totals WHERE ordate LIKE '%/$ordmonth/%'", $con); while($strow = mysql_fetch_array($stresult)) { $margin = $strow['sum(total)'] - $strow['sum(stotal)']; } echo $margin." for March<br /><br />"; break; case "04": $stresult=mysql_query("SELECT sum(total), sum(stotal) FROM totals WHERE ordate LIKE '%/$ordmonth/%'", $con); while($strow = mysql_fetch_array($stresult)) { $margin = $strow['sum(total)'] - $strow['sum(stotal)']; } echo $margin." for April<br /><br />"; break; case "05": $stresult=mysql_query("SELECT sum(total), sum(stotal) FROM totals WHERE ordate LIKE '%/$ordmonth/%'", $con); while($strow = mysql_fetch_array($stresult)) { $margin = $strow['sum(total)'] - $strow['sum(stotal)']; } echo $margin." for May<br /><br />"; break; case "06": $stresult=mysql_query("SELECT sum(total), sum(stotal) FROM totals WHERE ordate LIKE '%/$ordmonth/%'", $con); while($strow = mysql_fetch_array($stresult)) { $margin = $strow['sum(total)'] - $strow['sum(stotal)']; } echo $margin." for June<br /><br />"; break; case "07": $stresult=mysql_query("SELECT sum(total), sum(stotal) FROM totals WHERE ordate LIKE '%/$ordmonth/%'", $con); while($strow = mysql_fetch_array($stresult)) { $margin = $strow['sum(total)'] - $strow['sum(stotal)']; } echo $margin." for July<br /><br />"; break; case "08": $stresult=mysql_query("SELECT sum(total), sum(stotal) FROM totals WHERE ordate LIKE '%/$ordmonth/%'", $con); while($strow = mysql_fetch_array($stresult)) { $margin = $strow['sum(total)'] - $strow['sum(stotal)']; } echo $margin." for August<br /><br />"; break; case "09": $stresult=mysql_query("SELECT sum(total), sum(stotal) FROM totals WHERE ordate LIKE '%/$ordmonth/%'", $con); while($strow = mysql_fetch_array($stresult)) { $margin = $strow['sum(total)'] - $strow['sum(stotal)']; } echo $margin." for September<br /><br />"; break; case "10": $stresult=mysql_query("SELECT sum(total), sum(stotal) FROM totals WHERE ordate LIKE '%/$ordmonth/%'", $con); while($strow = mysql_fetch_array($stresult)) { $margin += $strow['sum(total)'] - $strow['sum(stotal)']; } echo $margin." for October<br /><br />"; break; case "11": $stresult=mysql_query("SELECT sum(total), sum(stotal) FROM totals WHERE ordate LIKE '%/$ordmonth/%'", $con); while($strow = mysql_fetch_array($stresult)) { $margin += $strow['sum(total)'] - $strow['sum(stotal)']; } echo $margin." for November<br /><br />"; break; case "12": $stresult=mysql_query("SELECT sum(total), sum(stotal) FROM totals WHERE ordate LIKE '%/$ordmonth/%'", $con); while($strow = mysql_fetch_array($stresult)) { $margin += $strow['sum(total)'] - $strow['sum(stotal)']; } echo $margin." for December<br /><br />"; break; } } i want to make a monthly report the user selects month from drop down and i must get the specified dates of that month from the DB I am using ajax to get the dates This topic has been moved to MySQL Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=318996.0 Hello.

Hi, I have a table that contains posts and each post has a datetime field. Im trying to work out how I can show entries from today, this week and this month so I can have a link that shows all posts from today or this month etc. Any one know how I can do this ? My current piece of code that pulls the data from the db looks like this : Code: [Select] $texts= mysql_query("SELECT * FROM submittedtexts Order by id DESC LIMIT " . (($page - 1) * 6) . ", 6"); I want to add a bit that acts like : WHERE date = today Hope that makes sense, Im a bit of a newbie Thanks in advance, Scott Trying to get the below to generate the month in word form from a numeric entry in a database.

I want to get the numeric months into words for use in the text of the link. The above is returning December even though the entry in the database is 5. So I am creating a list of events. There will be a drop down menu to change between months. I only want the months to be listed if an event during that month exists. So if I have events listed for September and November, list only September and November, skipping October. Any idea on how to approach this or if there are any functions for such a thing? Hi.. I need help in getting the 3 Months Name from my table field FromMonth and ToMonth. Here is the scenario. First, I select FromMonth and ToMonth. Ex. FromMonth = 5 ToMonth = 7 So it means FromMonth is May ToMonth is July. Now I save the MonthNumber to my database: table- so_month FromMonth = 5 ToMonth = 7 Now I need to get the between Months Name from FromMonth to ToMonth which are (May, June, July). How does it possible? Thank you so much. Hi, Apologies to keep going on about this but I have hit a brick wall over updating my database with XML.

I am using PHP 5 so I dont know why this doesn't work. <?php ini_set('display_errors', 1); error_reporting(-1); $host="hostname"; // $username="username"; // $password="password"; // $db_name="db"; // $tbl_name="productfeed"; // // Connect to server and select database. mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or ("no connection"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("Database Connection Error"); $xmlReader = new XMLReader(); $filename = "datafeed_98057.xml"; $url = "[url=http://www.ukhomefurniture.co.uk/datafeed.xml]http://www.ukhomefurniture.co.uk/datafeed.xml[/url]"; file_put_contents($filename, file_get_contents($url)); $xmlReader->open($filename); while ($xmlReader->read()) { switch ($xmlReader->name) { case'prod': $dom = new DOMDocument(); $domNode = $xmlReader->expand(); $element = $dom->appendChild($domNode); $domString = utf8_encode($dom->saveXML($element)); $product = new SimpleXMLElement($domString); $product_code = $product->prod['id']; $image = $product->awImage; //insert query if(strlen($product) > 0) { $query = mysql_query("REPLACE INTO productfeed (image) VALUES ('$awImage')"); echo $awImage . "has been inserted </br>"; die('yes it works'); error_reporting(E_ALL); if (ini_get('display_errors')) { ini_set('display_errors', 1); } } break; } } ?> MOD EDIT: DB credentials removed. Hey guys, I have a private message script but for some reason when its updating, it turns the value into a blank one from 1 to 3. I have no idea why, but it works with the old statement of deleting, but I changed it to instead update it to 3 because I want to keep the pm in archives. here is the delete PM part. <?php session_start(); header("Location:inbox.php"); $user = $_SESSION['username']; include 'db.php'; //We do not have a user check on this page, because it seems silly to, you just send data to this page then it directs you right back to inbox //We need to get the total number of private messages the user has $sql = mysql_query ("SELECT pm_count FROM users WHERE username='$user'"); $row = mysql_fetch_array ($sql); $pm_count = $row['pm_count']; //A foreach loop for each pm in the array, get the values and set it as $pm_id because they were the ones selected for deletion foreach($_POST['pms'] as $num => $pm_id) { //Delete the PM from the database mysql_query("UPDATE messages SET recieved='3' WHERE id='$pm_id' AND reciever='$user'"); // mysql_query("DELETE FROM messages WHERE id='$pm_id' AND reciever='$user'"); //Subtract a private message from the counter! YAY! //$pm_count = $pm_count - '1'; //Now update the users message count with the new value //mysql_query("UPDATE users SET pm_count='$pm_count' WHERE username='$user'"); } ?> The commented out part at the end, is the old deleting parts but instead changed it to update value. Here is my form that shows checkboxes. I showed the whole code, where it has comments. <?php //This stuff and the while loop will query the database, see if you have messages or not, and display them if you do $query = "SELECT id, sender, subject, message FROM messages WHERE reciever='$user' AND recieved='1'"; $sqlinbox = mysql_query($query); //We have a mysql error, we should probably let somone know about the error, so we should print the error if(!$sqlinbox) { ?> <p><?php print '$query: '.$query.mysql_error();?></p> <?php } //There are no rows found for the user that is logged in, so that either means they have no messages or something broke, lets assume them they have no messages elseif (!mysql_num_rows($sqlinbox) ) { ?> <center><p><b>You havent read any messages</b></p></center> <?php } //There are no errors, and they do have messages, lets query the database and get the information after we make a table to put the information into else { //Ok, Lets center this whole table Im going to make just because I like it like that //Then we create a table 80% the total width, with 3 columns, The subject is 75% of the whole table, the sender is 120 pixels (should be plenty) and the select checkboxes only get 25 pixels ?> <center> <form name="send" method="post" action="delete.php"> <table width="80%"> <tr> <td width="75%" valign="top"><p><b><u>Subject</u></b></p></td> <td width="120px" valign="top"><p><b><u>Sender</u></b></p></td> <td width="25px" valign="top"><p><b><u>Select</u></b></p></td> </tr> <?php //Since everything is good so far and we earlier did a query to get all the message information we need to display the information. //This while loop goes through the array outputting all of the message information while($inbox = mysql_fetch_array($sqlinbox)) { //These are the variables we get from the array as it is going through the messages, we have the id of the private message, we have the person who sent the message, we have the subject of the message, and yeah thats it $pm_id = $inbox['id']; $sender = $inbox['sender']; $subject = $inbox['subject']; //So lets show the subject and make that a link to the view message page, we will send the message id through the URL to the view message page so the message can be displayed //And also let the person see who sent it to them, if you want you can make that some sort of a link to view more stuff about the user, but Im not doing that here, I did it for my game though, similar to the viewmsg.php page but a different page, and with the senders id //And finally the checkboxes that are all stuck into an array and if they are selected we stick the private message id into the array //I will only let my users have a maximum of 50 messages, remeber that ok? Because that's the value I will later in another page //Here is finally the html output for the message data, the while loop keeps going untill it runs out of messages ?> <tr> <td width="75%" valign="top"><p><a href="viewmsg.php?msg_id=<?php echo $pm_id; ?>"><?php echo $subject; ?></a></p></td> <td width="120px" valign="top"><p><?php echo $sender; ?></p></td> <td width="25px" valign="top"><input name="pms[]" type="checkbox" value="<?php echo $pm_id; ?>"></td> </tr> <?php //This ends the while loop } //Here is a submit button for the form that sends the delete page the message ids in an array ?> <tr> <td colspan="3"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Delete Selected"></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> </table> </center> <?php //So this ends the else to see if it is all ok and having messages or not } ?> So yeah, does anyone know why it updates it to a blank value, from the value 1 in recieved? Hello, I've been tasked with updating our code base from mysql to something that will work with php 7. It's older code that was written by 2 or 3 individuals before me and it's not at all object oriented. There are about 540 different files that I will end up having to edit to make it all up to date. I'm not a very experienced programmer myself, and I'm in need of some guidance. There are some files that have functions that call and use mysql queries three or four files deep and going through and editing one function leads me to having to update 4 or 5 other files which breaks stuff somewhere else down the road. I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions on ways to make this process less painful. The other thing is that by using PDO in a not OO style, it seems like I'm losing a lot of its benefits. Should I consider using MYSQLi instead of PDO considering the circumstances? Are there any resources that you could point me to in order to help me learn the skills I need to make it through this upgrade? Thanks for the help! Hi, when someone logs in to my page, i have a form displayed with names, address, etc...what i need to do is when i hit the update button for that information to go into the MYSQL table I have created and over write that information if a user updates...so how do i do that? How can I store data which is in a email to a MySQL db? Currently I'm receiving all enquirers in to my INBOX. I need a way to upload data which is in the mail direct from my email page to a MySQL db. is this possible? or what's the best way to approach this? is it possible to update data in mysql when a user clicks logout? Hi All, Whenever I try to update any piece of PHP code to update a MySQL database, nothing happens. I have tried copying in some of the working codes of a website and tried the same, but no success. I recently installed XAMPP. I am connecting using the correct user id and pass to the database. The scripts are not giving me any error, but just not connecting, that's all. While making such a usage as noted below <FORM name="form1" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" > I get the following error Firefox can't find the file at /C:/xampp/htdocs/="<?php.. so on Why does this happen? I am pretty new to this, so please do help. Thanks, Satheesh P R |
