PHP - The Propper Way To Organize My Code
I have a connection.php for connecting to my database and I have done it this way
connection.php Code: [Select] function connect() { global $mysql; $mysql = new MySQLi('localhost','cybershot','pascal35','billPay') or die('couldn not connect'. mysql_error()); } I have another file where I want to perform a query so I included the connection.php at the top of that file which I will call results.php and in the body of my results.php I have this Code: [Select] $names = $mysql->query("select * from names") or die($mysql->error); if($names){ while($row = $names->fetch_assoc()){ $name = $row['firstName']; $lastName = $row['lastName']; $company = $row['companyName']; echo $name . " "; echo $lastName . " "; echo $company . " "; } } I had to make $mysql a global variable in the connection.php in order to get it to work in another page. is there a better way to pass that variable to the results.php page? or is there a better way period? Similar Tutorialshello, here is what i have. i feel like im close. Code: [Select] $result4 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM schedule WHERE eid = '$posteid' AND status = 1 OR 2"); I am developing a multilingual site. I use array to save translations in one file which I include it inside settings.php. Code: [Select] //Example of english $LANG['welcome']="Welcome"; $LANG['status']="Status"; I am wondering about two things: 1. How would be the best option to print those arrays? a) Echo all html and inside html I use Code: [Select] echo " <body> <div> <p>{$LANG['welcome']}</p> </div> ";b) Close php and write html and inside html I open and close php for each time Code: [Select] <div><p><?php echo $LANG['welcome']; ?></p></div> Each one has own downsides. Option a) spends extra resources to print html. Option b) spends extra resources to close and open php each time (could means that single script needs to open and close php even 30 times per script). Is that bad or is the ammount of resources spend for this negligible? 2. Also how do you translate words inside javascript? I was thinking to put all translation that are need for javascript into $LANG['js'] array. Then I would use at the head of the script foreach $LANG['js'] to print html to assign javascript language variables. Code: [Select] <script type="javascript"> <?php foreach($LANG['js'] as $keyword => $translation){ echo "var ".$keyword."= ".$translation.";\n"; } ?> </script>Is there any better way? Thank you! I am looking at making a photogallery system for an online community based site. I know that we need to have unique id's , photo names and albums. What i am looking for is: Would it be recommended to create a directory for each user once they are registerd? How would you go about naming and sorting photogralleries? How would you go about naming you photos? How would you do it? I was thinking about a uuid kind of code: ( from php.net) Code: [Select] class UUID { public static function v3($namespace, $name) { if(!self::is_valid($namespace)) return false; // Get hexadecimal components of namespace $nhex = str_replace(array('-','{','}'), '', $namespace); // Binary Value $nstr = ''; // Convert Namespace UUID to bits for($i = 0; $i < strlen($nhex); $i+=2) { $nstr .= chr(hexdec($nhex[$i].$nhex[$i+1])); } // Calculate hash value $hash = md5($nstr . $name); return sprintf('%08s-%04s-%04x-%04x-%12s', // 32 bits for "time_low" substr($hash, 0, 8), // 16 bits for "time_mid" substr($hash, 8, 4), // 16 bits for "time_hi_and_version", // four most significant bits holds version number 3 (hexdec(substr($hash, 12, 4)) & 0x0fff) | 0x3000, // 16 bits, 8 bits for "clk_seq_hi_res", // 8 bits for "clk_seq_low", // two most significant bits holds zero and one for variant DCE1.1 (hexdec(substr($hash, 16, 4)) & 0x3fff) | 0x8000, // 48 bits for "node" substr($hash, 20, 12) ); } public static function v4() { return sprintf('%04x%04x-%04x-%04x-%04x-%04x%04x%04x', // 32 bits for "time_low" mt_rand(0, 0xffff), mt_rand(0, 0xffff), // 16 bits for "time_mid" mt_rand(0, 0xffff), // 16 bits for "time_hi_and_version", // four most significant bits holds version number 4 mt_rand(0, 0x0fff) | 0x4000, // 16 bits, 8 bits for "clk_seq_hi_res", // 8 bits for "clk_seq_low", // two most significant bits holds zero and one for variant DCE1.1 mt_rand(0, 0x3fff) | 0x8000, // 48 bits for "node" mt_rand(0, 0xffff), mt_rand(0, 0xffff), mt_rand(0, 0xffff) ); } public static function v5($namespace, $name) { if(!self::is_valid($namespace)) return false; // Get hexadecimal components of namespace $nhex = str_replace(array('-','{','}'), '', $namespace); // Binary Value $nstr = ''; // Convert Namespace UUID to bits for($i = 0; $i < strlen($nhex); $i+=2) { $nstr .= chr(hexdec($nhex[$i].$nhex[$i+1])); } // Calculate hash value $hash = sha1($nstr . $name); return sprintf('%08s-%04s-%04x-%04x-%12s', // 32 bits for "time_low" substr($hash, 0, 8), // 16 bits for "time_mid" substr($hash, 8, 4), // 16 bits for "time_hi_and_version", // four most significant bits holds version number 5 (hexdec(substr($hash, 12, 4)) & 0x0fff) | 0x5000, // 16 bits, 8 bits for "clk_seq_hi_res", // 8 bits for "clk_seq_low", // two most significant bits holds zero and one for variant DCE1.1 (hexdec(substr($hash, 16, 4)) & 0x3fff) | 0x8000, // 48 bits for "node" substr($hash, 20, 12) ); } public static function is_valid($uuid) { return preg_match('/^\{?[0-9a-f]{8}\-?[0-9a-f]{4}\-?[0-9a-f]{4}\-?'.

Here is how the static HTML is currently displayed: http://www.u-s-s-a.org/breeders.html. Here is my working document: http://www.u-s-s-a.org/breeders.php. As you can see on the HTML page, each db row is organized into individual states. I'm only concerned about the US states, and not the countries outside of the US. Following is the code I've been working on (directoryoutput.php): Code: [Select] <?php require '/home/srob/public_html/u-s-s-a.org/config.php'; $connect = mysql_connect ($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Cannot connect: '.mysql_error()); mysql_select_db ($dbname); $query = "SELECT * FROM directory ORDER BY flockname"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die ('Error, query failed.'); echo "<tr><td width='33%' class='style9'><p align='left' class='style12'><a name='AR'></a>Arkansas</p></td><td width='34%'> </td><td width='33%' valign='top'><div align='right'><a href='#TOP'><img src='returnTOTOPGRAPHIC/RETURNTOTOP.gif' width='113' height='21' border='0' align='absmiddle'></a></div></td></tr>"; $cnt = 0; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){ if ($cnt == 0){ echo "<tr><td valign='top' class='style9'><p align='center'><span class='style10'><strong>"; if($row['flockname']){ echo $row['flockname']; } echo "</strong></span><strong></br>"; if($row['firstname']){ echo $row['firstname']."

Thanks in advance! Ryan Hello, I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for advice. I use a bunch of classes in namespaces that are I'm attempting to organize for autoloading. In other words, a class called \Foo\Package\Class is loaded from the file at Foo\Package\Class.php. I'm using spl_autoload for this. (If I were on 5.2 I could be using underscore-delimited pseudo-namespaces just as well; the implementation detail isn't important) Now, I want to have multiple separate apps that use a single common library. Each app also has some classes that are local to it. How should I solve the autoloading problem? I thought of the following approach. Is it any good? Try autoloading from the common class library If it fails, try autoloading from the app's own local library Part 2 of the question: Within my apps, though, there are two types of classes: library ("vendor") classes that are only being used in that particular app so they don't need to be in the shared library, and app-specific classes that are the core of the app (so they, by definition, don't need to be in any shared library). I'd probably like to keep these two separate, so I'd need to add point #3 to the list above: search in the "core" class hierarchy of the local app. This gives 3 separate locations, and the problem is that they negate the advantages namespaces since there can be overlap. In which case one class will override the other during autoloading. So order of the above list would matter. And time would be wasted looking for a class in the first two places if it's more often in the third. A solution I was considering is sticking to just one central library of classes (and dumping all app-local libraries there). Then, the core classes that belong to one app would be under an \AppName namespace. I'm looking forward to some insights from the experts. How do you guys organize your class libraries? I have the following code in html: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function delayer(){ window.location = "http://VARIABLEVALUE.mysite.com" } //--> </script> <title>Redirecting ...</title> </head> <body onLoad="setTimeout('delayer()', 1000)"> <script type="text/javascript"> var sc_project=71304545; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_security="9c433fretre"; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.statcounter.com/counter/counter.js"></script><noscript> <div class="statcounter"><a title="vBulletin statistics" href="http://statcounter.com/vbulletin/" target="_blank"><img class="statcounter" src="http://c.statcounter.com/71304545/0/9c433fretre/1/" alt="vBulletin statistics" ></a></div></noscript> </body> </html> Is a basic html webpage with a timer redirect script and a stascounter code. I know a bit about html and javascript, but almost nothing about php. My question is: How a can convert this html code into a php file, in order to send a variable value using GET Method and display this variable value inside the javascript code where says VARIABLEVALUE. Thanks in adavance for your help. Hi, I have some code which displays my blog post in a foreach loop, and I want to add some social sharing code(FB like button, share on Twitter etc.), but the problem is the way I have my code now, creates 3 instances of the sharing buttons, but if you like one post, all three are liked and any thing you do affects all of the blog post.

For example, can a PHP function include HTML form and the PHP code to handle this form? If yes, this will make my main code much more smaller and readable. If not, is there a way to define an "external macro" like, which allow me to replace pre-defined lines of code with short alias? Hi, Look at this code below: Code: [Select] <?php function outputModule($moduleID, $moduleName, $sessionData) { if(!count($sessionData)) { return false; } $markTotal = 0; $markGrade = 0; $weightSession = 0; $grade = ""; $sessionsHTML = ""; foreach($sessionData as $session) { $sessionsHTML .= "<p><strong>Session:</strong> {$session['SessionId']} <strong>Session Mark:</strong> {$session['Mark']}</strong> <strong>Session Weight Contribution</strong> {$session['SessionWeight']}%</p>\n"; $markTotal += round($session['Mark'] / 100 * $session['SessionWeight']); $weightSession += ($session['SessionWeight']); $markGrade = round($markTotal / $weightSession * 100); if ($markGrade >= 70) { $grade = "A"; } else if ($markGrade >= 60 && $markGrade <= 69) { $grade = "B"; } else if ($markGrade >= 50 && $markGrade <= 59) { $grade = "C"; } else if ($markGrade >= 40 && $markGrade <= 49) { $grade = "D"; } else if ($markGrade >= 30 && $markGrade <= 39) { $grade = "E"; } else if ($markGrade >= 0 && $markGrade <= 29) { $grade = "F"; } $moduleHTML = "<p><br><strong>Module:</strong> {$moduleID} - {$moduleName} <strong>Module Mark:</strong> {$markTotal} <strong>Mark Percentage:</strong> {$markGrade} <strong>Grade:</strong> {$grade} </p>\n"; return $moduleHTML . $sessionsHTML; } $output = ""; $studentId = false; $courseId = false; $moduleId = false; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { if($studentId != $row['StudentUsername']) { //Student has changed $studentId = $row['StudentUsername']; $output .= "<p><strong>Student:</strong> {$row['StudentForename']} {$row['StudentSurname']} ({$row['StudentUsername']})\n"; } if($courseId != $row['CourseId']) { //Course has changed $courseId = $row['CourseId']; $output .= "<br><strong>Course:</strong> {$row['CourseId']} - {$row['CourseName']} <strong>Course Mark</strong> <strong>Grade</strong> <br><strong>Year:</strong> {$row['Year']} </p>\n"; } if($moduleId != $row['ModuleId']) { //Module has changed if(isset($sessionsAry)) //Don't run function for first record { //Get output for last module and sessions $output .= outputModule($moduleId, $moduleName, $sessionsAry); } //Reset sessions data array and Set values for new module $sessionsAry = array(); $moduleId = $row['ModuleId']; $moduleName = $row['ModuleName']; } //Add session data to array for current module $sessionsAry[] = array('SessionId'=>$row['SessionId'], 'Mark'=>$row['Mark'], 'SessionWeight'=>$row['SessionWeight']); } //Get output for last module $output .= outputModule($moduleId, $moduleName, $sessionsAry); //Display the output echo $output; } } } ?> This code allallows me to make calculations and display a student's course and linked with it the course the modules in the course and linked with modules are all the sessions. It is able to display what marks each student have got for each module and session. Now look at code below, it is able to display modules and in those modules the sessions that link to those modules: Code: [Select] <?php if($moduleId != $row['ModuleId']) { //Module has changed if(isset($sessionsAry)) //Don't run function for first record { //Get output for last module and sessions $output .= outputModule($moduleId, $moduleName, $sessionsAry); } //Reset sessions data array and Set values for new module $sessionsAry = array(); $moduleId = $row['ModuleId']; $moduleName = $row['ModuleName']; } //Add session data to array for current module $sessionsAry[] = array('SessionId'=>$row['SessionId'], 'Mark'=>$row['Mark'], 'SessionWeight'=>$row['SessionWeight']); } What I want to know is how can I do something similar for course so that it picks out the right modules depending on the course it displays. There maybe some code that needs to be added in the function. How can I make sure that when I submit an new form and new ID (record) is created it is always 4-Digits. record 14 = 0014, record 225 = 0225. Thanks Michael Feathers coined the term Legacy Code as being code without automated tests.
Still however Legacy Code evokes a vision in me that it is code that is ugly, old, runs on mainframes, and is probably 3000 lines long, uses globals and questionable code practices.
But say we take this ugly nasty code, and put it very nicely under test, but without doing any refactoring, other than that necessary to be able to put it under test in the first place.
Now that code is under test. But it it still ugly. How would you call ugly code under test?
Would you make a differentiation between old & ugly and modern & pretty code if both are under test?
Hello Everyone I am new to php and indeed Web Development. After testing and Playing a bit, I can get the following code to work as two files, the form calling the *.php file to insert into the database, however, I am trying to create one html/php file that displays the form and then executes the php code to insert into the database once user clickes the button. Please can you assist me with the code? I have something horribly wrong and I cannot find it. Code: [Select] <?php> <html> <head> <title>Personal Details</title> </head> <body> <form method="post" action="contactdetails.html"><font face="Arial"> Call Sign:<br> <input name="callsign" size="5" type="text"><br> Surame:<br> <input name="surname" size="30" type="text"><br> First Name:<br> <input name="firstnames" size="30" type="text"><br> Known as:<br> <input name="knownas" size="30" type="text"><br> RSA ID No.:<br> <input name="rsaid" size="13" type="text"><br> Birth Date:<br> <input name="birthdate" size="12" type="text"><br> <input name="Insert" value="Next" type="submit"></form> </font><br> </body> </html> //php to insert data into table $callsign = $_POST['callsign']; $surname = $_POST['surname']; $firstnames = $_POST['firstnames']; $knownas = $_POST['knownas']; $rsaid = $_POST['rsaid']; $birthdate = $_POST['birthdate']; mysql_connect ("localhost", "jredpixm_testuse", "PHPDevelopment") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' .mysql_error()); mysql_select_db ("jredpixm_test"); $query="INSERT INTO personal_details (callsign, surname, firstnames, knownas, rsaid, birthdate)Values ('$callsign', '$surname', '$firstnames', '$knownas', '$rsaid', '$birthdate')"; mysql_query($query) or die ('Error updating Database'); echo "<p>Thanks, your information has been added to the database.</p>"; ?> Regards Allen Hi, this is my first time posting here. I am just delving into PHP and I am learning about foreach loops. I have written code in Notepad++ EXACTLY the way I saw it in a tutorial video I watched (I wish I could show the tutorial video to you, but it is on Lynda.com and you have to pay to watch) I attached the file with my code. The example 1 code works just fine. The example 2 code is the one that is not working for some reason. However, it worked for the guy that wrote it in the video, so I am not sure where I am going wrong? *The comments in green are mainly for myself, I explain things to myself so that I don't forget what the code does forloops.php 1.74KB 2 downloads I would appreciate some help. Thank you!!! |
