PHP - Receiving Post Data Through Proxy (paypal Ipn Listener)

Apologies, first off: I only venture into PHP occasionally and my problem is something very very obvious...

The data I'm getting back from the script below differs radically from the data recovered by the same SQL applied directly in phpMyAdmin.

$sql = mysql_query('SELECT `fid` , `title` , `extension` FROM files WHERE `mid_FK` = 2353 ORDER BY `title`') or die ("Sorry: cannot retrieve files.");

$files_found = mysql_fetch_array($sql);

$num_files_found = count($files_found);

The native SQL returns three rows from the table, all with entries in each column.   What my script produces as relevant variables is this.

Code: [Select]
[sql] => Resource id #6
[files_found] => Array
        (
        [0] => 961
        [fid] => 961
        [1] => Abstract of Case
        [title] => Abstract of Case
        [2] => doc
        [extension] => doc
        )

[num_files_found] => 6
This is the first row of the SQL results, duplicated.  Whereas what I need are the entries for all three rows.
 
I'm baffled, not least because I copied it out of another script I wrote last time I was doing this sort of thing, which has been working fine ever since.   

This has probably been asked a bunch of times , but :

I only recently started to self learn PHP , and this small project i am making is quite a challange for me.
The scripts below are not realy writen by me , but i wished to tie them together to get a fully working code.

What is suppose to happen is :

In the form i wish to put a special button that puts extra input fields in the form.

After the form is submited ,with whatever amount of feilds in it, the data goes to a processing.php file that sorts all the info gathered and finaly sends all this data formated in to the last file that will be inluded in the index.php.

i already have the code for increcing the amount of inputs but the problem is , all inputs have the same names. Coz of that i get a mess.

What i need is each input to have a unique name or id , that way the processing file would receive different names(id's) with different values(what ever is writen in the inputs by users).

for example:

I have 2 enitial fields displayed on  form.html , i click the button "add new" 5 times and add 5 more input fields.
All this data must be sent to a process.php and on the output write all of this information formated in the last file in a row that will be displayed in the index by useing
<?include("blablabla.php");?>

The input increment is done by a java script. the problem is sending data with unique id(name) and receiving it.

The form file :

<?include("header.php");?>





 <?$i = 1; ?>

   <script type="text/javascript">

   function validate(frm)
   {
        var ele = frm.elements['feedurl[]'];

       if (! ele.length)
        {
            alert(ele.value);
        }

       for(var i=0; i<ele.length; i++)
       {
          alert(ele[i].value);
       }

      return true;
 }

  function add_feed()
 {
      var div1 = document.createElement('div');

     // Get template data
     div1.innerHTML = document.getElementById('newlinktpl').innerHTML;

     // append to our form, so that template data
     //become part of form
     document.getElementById('newlink').appendChild(div1);

 }


   var ct = 1;

   function new_link()
   {
   ct++;
  var div1 = document.createElement('div');
  div1.id = ct;

  // link to delete extended form elements
 var delLink = '<div style="text-align:right;margin-right:65px"><a href="javascript:delIt('+ ct +')">Del</a></div>';

 div1.innerHTML = document.getElementById('newlinktpl').innerHTML + delLink;

document.getElementById('newlink').appendChild(div1);

}
 // function to delete the newly added set of elements
 function delIt(eleId)

var ele = d.getElementById(eleId);

var parentEle = d.getElementById('newlink');

parentEle.removeChild(ele);

}

in the code above i tryed to make the programm POST the numbers in the name increcing it by 1. But when i click submit i get offset error.

The processing file :

<?
$timestamp     =     strftime("%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S %Y");   // for later use (ignore it)
$i =1;
####################################################################################

if(($_POST['prodname']!="")&&($_POST['price']!="")){

    ############################################################
    $writetocsv = $_POST['prodname1'] . "," . $_POST['price1']"%" <BR> . $_POST[$i] . $_POST[$i];
             $fp = fopen("data/data.csv", "a");
             fwrite ($fp,$writetocsv);
             fclose ($fp);
                            echo "<script>alert('Data sent.')</script>";
}
else{
    echo "<script>alert('Error! Please fill the form!')</script>";
}
echo "<script>location.replace('index.php')</script>";
?>

Perhaps someone knows a easyer way , since i am not sure how to make stuff due to the lack of knowlage in php. I also tryed arrays but , as said before , too tough when you are a noob

Please help.

I am being sent an XML feed which needs to be downloaded in a 'compressed way'. The example I have been given is this:   $url = 'http://myurl.com';
$headers[] = "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate";

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, true);
$data = curl_exec($ch);   but the output I am getting is jargon like this with loads of black diamond question marks:�   +T��sƒ���-}#v���]K���������HB�$&G�����Y�����'߷s�,�.4֫'?'���9;*9^��>�j~�ǫ}z|hq�J��Գ".o2)~b​���U~I|   How to a convert it back into XML? Many thanks

hey gang:

i have a number of variables stored in the $_SESSION array and wanted to know how i can keep them handy for use AFTER PayPal has done it's thing.  to help clarify, the desired process here is client fills out form. clicks PayPal button. form data is then used to create some documents which are then sent to client.  i have the flow working but without the PayPal part because i'm not sure how to preserve the form data while PayPal does it's thing so i can use it when PayPal is done.  am i making sense?  i'd like to steer away from client-side cookies because of security issues and our paranoid client insists on it...

bah.  first the JSON shuffle from JavaScript to PHP and now this PayPal mess. 

any help is MOST welcome.  TIA!

WR!

Hi all,

This is driving me insane!

Basically I am simply trying to setup a reoccurring payment, in live and sandbox I get an error once I submit login details
Code: [Select]
The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again.
The code I am sending to paypal is:
header("location:
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?
cmd=_xclick-subscriptions&
business=sandbox@minecraftclan.com&
item_name=Item1&
a3=3.00&
p3=30&
t3=D");

My sandbox account is 'sandbox@minecraftclan.com', I really cant see what the issue is!

It will show the payment screen, but error occours after logging in with sandbox details, the same if I run to the live site and use an real paypal account

Any ideas?

EDIT:

This iswhat a view source on the error page looks like:
s.prop1="xpt/Merchant/hostedpayments/Error";
s.prop6="6FW885512W222534S";
s.prop7="Personal";
s.prop8="Verified";
s.prop9="Unrestricted";
s.prop10="US";
s.prop14="The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again.";
s.prop16="";
s.prop34="PayPalCredit:Servicing:CO:NoTransactions";
s.prop15="";
s.pageName="xpt/Merchant/hostedpayments/Error::_flow";
s.prop50="en_US";
s.prop18="";

That mean anything to anyone?!

Here is something i dreamt up, i know there is a way for this to work, but i'm not having any great ideas at this point. I want to be able to auto increment through the $_POST[] array data sent from a PayPal IPN. Sample return data looks like

item_number1=val
item_name1=val

so on and so forth. The idea is: While there are $_POST item_numbers, do something with it. The loop continues until there are no more item_numbers. I don't want to use the static methods eg: explicitly defining item_number1, item_number2, ect. This is what i thought would work, but keeps failing -> the script doesn't enter the first condition:

$x = 1; // set the initial item number
        while(isset($_POST['item_number$x'])){
            $qty = $_POST['quantity$x'];
            while($qty > 0){                
                // step through each item response result, setting each item to paid
                $package_id = $_POST['item_number$x'];    
                update_paid_status($transaction_id, $package_id);
                $qty--;            
            }
            $x++;
        }

Any Ideas?

Hi
I have a little strange problem.

I cannot get the post data from my form. It works fine if there is 10 or 15 user but reaching 40 or more than form values not posting.

This is output of size:
echo (int) $_SERVER['CONTENT_LENGTH'];  ===== 22164

Code: [Select]
if(isset($_POST['hiddenField']))
{
    // do some work;
}

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT id, name FROM user WHERE shop_id = '" .$_SESSION['id']. "' ORDER BY name ASC");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
{
echo '
<div style="width:100%; border:solid 1px #CCC; background-color:#f1e7e7; margin-bottom:5px;">
<table class="tableSmall">
<tr><th width="81">' .$row['name']. '</th><th width="71">';
echo $grl_pic .'
</th>
<td width="622"><table width="100%">
<tr>';
for($j=0; $j<7; $j++)
{
$sql2  = mysql_query("SELECT user_master_id, user_start, user_end FROM work_master WHERE user_master_id = '" .$row['id']. "' AND date = '" .$days_no_kanji[$j]. "'");
$row2 = mysql_fetch_array($sql2);
if(mysql_num_rows($sql2) == 0)
{
$start = "00:00";
$end   = "00:00";
$m    = 0;
}
else
{
$start = $row2['user_start'];
$end   = $row2['user_end'];
$m    = 1;
}
echo '
<th><input type="hidden" name="userData[]" value="' .$row['id']. '_' .$j .'_' .$m. '" />
<select name="' .$row['id']. '_' .$j .'_' .$m. '_start">' .ShopHour($start). '</select><br />～<br />
<select name="' .$row['id']. '_' .$j .'_' .$m. '_end">' .ShopHour($end). '</select>
</th>';
}
echo '
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>';
}
Is there someone has any idea why php is not posting?

Hi guys, I think I may be losing my marbles over this form I've put together. I'm trying to get my code to post the following to a database but my MySQL and PHP isn't that good, so wondering if any one could possibly suggest what I could do?

Here is my code:

Code: [Select]
<?php

// we check if everything is filled in

if(empty($_POST['fname']) || empty($_POST['lname']) || empty($_POST['email']))
{
die(msg(0,"All the fields are required"));
}


// is the sex selected?

if(!(int)$_POST['sex-select'])
{
die(msg(0,"You have to select your sex"));
}


// is the birthday selected?

if(!(int)$_POST['day'] || !(int)$_POST['month'] || !(int)$_POST['year'])
{
die(msg(0,"You have to fill in your birthday"));
}


// is the email valid?

if(!(preg_match("/^[\.A-z0-9_\-\+]+[@][A-z0-9_\-]+([.][A-z0-9_\-]+)+[A-z]{1,4}$/", $_POST['email'])))
die(msg(0,"You haven't provided a valid email"));



// I think here is where I need to put something to get the data into a table!




echo msg(1,"registered.html");


function msg($status,$txt)
{
return '{"status":'.$status.',"txt":"'.$txt.'"}';
}
?>
How do I get the $_POST['day'] and $_POST['month'], $_POST['year'] etc into a table? It should be so easy but my head is hurting from trying lots of things and tutorials online.

Any thoughts my PHP Freaks?

im trying to understand this Post Data script it's not posting, no errors:

postdata.php
Code: [Select]
<?php

foreach ( $post_data as $key => $value) {
    $post_items[] = $key . '=' . $value;
}
 
//create the final string to be posted using implode()
$post_string = implode ('&', $post_items);
 
//we also need to add a question mark at the beginning of the string
$post_string = '?' . $post_string;
 
//we are going to need the length of the data string
$data_length = strlen($post_string);
 
//let's open the connection
$connection = fsockopen('www.example.com', 80);
 
//sending the data

i am trying to fit this php code to so when ever i upload a video link to the database it prints in the divs from left to right. ( i have made blank boxes for where the videos should be, so you guys can see what i mean. i will give you the code here.

Code: [Select]
<?php
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `G4V_Videos` ORDER BY `id` DESC") or die(mysql_error());

while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { 
?>
ID-nummer: <?php print $data['id']; ?> - Name: <?php print $data['navn']; ?> -
<a href="/Video.php?id=<?php print $data['id']; ?>"><img src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/<?php print $data['link'];?>/hqdefault.jpg" width="200" height="160" /></a><br />
<a href="/Video.php?=<?php print $data['id']; ?>">
<?php
}
?>

and the website is here, http://www.game4vids.com/index.php

and i also want it so once i have used up all the boxes it posts the new video in box one and overwrites the old one if you get what i mean.

This website is a great example of what i mean.

Hi All,

Not sure if this is a silly question so here we go.

I have some divs that have data attributes (data-value).  When i submit and post the form, can i use these values as part of the submission and put their data-value into the db?

Thanks as always in advance.

I'm doing an ajax call from javascript using jquery library:

Code: [Select]

    ajaxCall: function(process, obj, type){     
        $.post("registration-post.php", type + "=" + process,
            function(data){
                if(data==""){
                    $(obj).css(registration.errorNotificationType, registration.validatedColour);
                }else{
                    $('.error').append($.trim(data) + "<br />");
                    $(obj).css(registration.errorNotificationType, registration.errorColour);
                    registration.progress = false;   
                }
            }
        );
    }


When the ajax calls the php page, I want the php page to know what post information the javascript has sent, rather than pre-defining what the PHP should be trying to retrive from the POST data.

Something like


          // pseudo

          $_POST["whateverwassentfromajax"]



I want to do this because I want to have one function doing everything. So in my javascript I am saying, check if the username and email have already been used...
But i dont want to call two different php functions.



//pseudo

function 1(){
      $_POST["username"];
}
function 2(){
      $_POST["email"];
}



Is there a special way to know which post data has been sent.
Or do i need to do a few if statements in php.

Hello     I have a nusoap web service running, which is fine, but I need to send a new variable in the parameters which decides what database to use...   This is how I call the function:

 
    $params = array(
 
'region' => '1' 
 
);
 
 
$response1 = $client->call('function1', array ($params)); // response will be in JSON
