PHP - How Do I Include A Variable In Each Php Page

 

Hi All,

I've been trying to access xml data from an API feed, but it needs a Variable to be passed to an include file without a form. the include is at the header of the page.

in the code below, i'm trying to retrieve the variable $project_add from the $xml_2 feed. $proj_add_ID comes from another feed and is being passed ok. 

foreach ($projects_1 as $proj_1) {

                        $job_no =$proj_1['job_no'];
                        $job_name =$proj_1['job_name'];
                        $job_status =$proj_1['job_status'];
                        $job_staff =$proj_1['job_staff'];
                        $job_due =$proj_1['job_due'];
                        $clr_1 = $colors_1[$job_status];
                        
                        if ($err_2) {
                        echo "cURL Error #:" . $err_2;
                         } else {
                        $_POST['job_id']= $job_no;
                        $xml_2=simplexml_load_string($response_2) or die("Error: Cannot create object");
                        $proj_add = $xml_2->xpath("CustomFields/CustomField[ID ='$proj_add_ID']");                         
                            foreach($proj_add as $item_2) {
                            $project_add = "$item_2->Text";
                        }            
                        echo "<div class='row no-gutters'>";
                        echo "<div class='col-sm bg-white border rounded'><a href='managejob.php?job_id=$job_no' class='text-left ml-1'><strong>$job_no</strong></a></div>";
                        echo "<div class='col-sm-2 bg-white border rounded'><p class='text-left ml-1'>$job_name</p></div>";                         
                        echo "<div class='col-sm-2 bg-white border rounded'><p class='text-left ml-1'></p>$project_add</div>";                        
                        echo "<div class='col-sm-2 bg-white border rounded'>" . state_dropdown_1($job_no, $job_status, $clr_1) . "</div>";                        
                        echo "<div class='col-sm-2 bg-white border rounded'><p class='text-left ml-1'>$job_staff</p></div>"; 
                        echo "<div class='col-sm-2 bg-white border rounded'><form action='CALL_API_PUTTaskDate.php' method='POST'>"
                                . "<input type='hidden' name='task_ID' value ='". $jdata['task_ID'] ."'>"
                                . "<input type='hidden' name='est_min' value ='". $jdata['est_min'] ."'>"
                                . "<input class ='form-control bg-white text-dark font-weight-bold' type='date' name='start_date' value='" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime( $jdata['display_date_1'] )) . "' onchange='this.form.submit()'>"
                                . "</form></div>";
                        echo "<div class='col-sm bg-white border rounded'><p class='text-left ml-1 mt-1'><strong>" . date('d/m/Y', strtotime( $jdata['display_date'])) . "</strong></p></div></div>";
                        
                       }

The include file is like this

/ collect Custom Felds
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // collect value of status input field
    $job_no = $_REQUEST['job_id'];
      } 

if (isset($_POST['job_id'])) {
$job_no = $_POST['job_id'];
}

if (isset($_GET['job_id'])) {
$job_no = $_GET['job_id'];
}

$curl_2 = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl_2, array(
  CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.xxx.com/job.api/get/$job_no/customfield?apiKey=xxx&accountKey=xxx",
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
  CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
    "Accept: */*",
    "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate",
    "Cache-Control: no-cache",
    "Connection: keep-alive",
    "Host: api.xxx.com",
    "Postman-Token: xxx",
    "User-Agent: PostmanRuntime/7.17.1",
    "cache-control: no-cache"
  ),
));

$response_2 = curl_exec($curl_2);
$err_2 = curl_error($curl_2);

curl_close($curl_2);

The problem is the variable $job_no isn't getting passed to CURLOPT_URL so it's not retrieving the data required. i need to be able to retrieve this data without submitting a form as it's in a foreach loop and the Id is specific to each iteration. is there a way to do this? I have been able to achieve this by putting the include within the div tags that it will be displayed but it just slows down everything too much and hangs. 

Any help will be much appreciated. 

Kind regards,

Michael Bennington.

Ok it's abit complicated so i'll try to explain as best as I can.
Upon registration a file is created with your username that was registered and also a file for your profile named after your username so it would be /profiles/usernamesprofilehere.php.

I put a code into the profile that is:
Code: [Select]
include ("/home/giacjrdi/public_html/mysite/profiles/profileinfo/$username.info.php");
echo "<center><b><br /> $user's Profile <br /></b></center>";
$username is calling the cookie's username
while $user is calling the account's username.

eg if I try to view "bob"'s profile but logged in as "fred" since the include function is under $username which is cookies, it will retrieve "fred"'s information and post it on "bob"'s profile.

The only sollution i can think of would be to store a username variable in the url and use it for the include function.

Hello all,

I am a beginner at PHP and trying to form an IF statement, I'm running into a problem which I cannot seem to solve.
Due to my lack of syntax knowledge I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.

The combo variables are sent to this page through a form and defined as these variables at the top of the page.
e.g $combo0 = $_POST["combo0"];

When the results are displayed any form field which was left blank or empty I want to show "N/A" if data is detected in being sent through the form I then want the "Else" statement to take affect.

Currently when I run the below statement N/A is echoed despite if data was sent through the form fields or not....

if (empty($scrap))  {
echo "<h3>Submitted Scrap Results</h3> No scrap parts were booked off";
}
elseif (empty($combo0) || empty($combo1) || empty($combo2) || empty($combo3) || empty($combo4)) {
echo "N/A";
}
else {
echo "<h3>Submitted Scrap Results</h3> <b>Reason:</b> " .$combo0." - ".$combo1." - ".$combo2." - ".$combo3." - ".$combo4."
<br /> <b>on machine</b> " .$mid. " - <b>No. Scrap</b> " .$noscrap. "";
}

Anyone any ideas?

Some code from my pages ,   Page1 ( Redirecting page )

<html>
<title>login_redirect.</title>
body>

<form name="redirect" action="http://mysite/page2.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="mac" value="$(mac)">
</form>

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.redirect.submit();
//-->
</script>
</body>
</html>

Page 2 ( select product )

<?php


session_start();

ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL); 

include '../lib/config.php';
include '../lib/opendb.php';

// get user mac adres from redirect post page1
$_SESSION['macid'] = $_POST['mac'];
// set $macid for other use ( maybe not needed, am learning )
$macid = $_SESSION['macid'];

// echo $macid does show mac adress, so variable is not empty here


if (!empty($_POST["submit"]))

{
$product_choice = $_POST['accounttype'];
$query= "SELECT AccountIndex, AccountCost, AccountName FROM AccountTypes WHERE AccountIndex='$product_choice'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed. ' . mysql_error()); 
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$_SESSION['AccountIndex'] = $row['AccountIndex'];
$_SESSION['AccountCost'] = $row['AccountCost'];
$_SESSION['AccountName'] = $row['AccountName'];
}


header('Location: page3.php');

}

// did leave out the other/html/form stuff here

Page 3 ( show Session variables )

<?php


ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL); 

session_start();

print_r($_SESSION);

?>

Now, on page 3 i do see the right session varables, only the "macid" is empty.   why ?

I am trying to force home landing page text onto this wordpress themes (weblizar Enigma)  standard page (which doesnt seem to allow for this even with settings/reading/static/home page option selected wordpress settings) The landing page just seems to be wigitised.    In a nutshell, I want to have a "page" of text on home page below banner slider and instead of "BLOG" and blog text. Hope this makes sense. Not getting help from theme author and I have been pointed towards .phpfreaks This is the website below.... http://www.cloudchasing.co.uk Thankyou in advance guys

Is there some way of a php include which is visible on every page (footer), itself having two php includes, but only one of which would be visible, then on the user refreshing the page or on visiting another page on the site, that include would be replaced with another php include?  Preferably done without any js.

Any help appreciated.

Hi all,
I am a bit of a noob when it comes to website building and php etc so please have patients with me I am learnig as I go.

I have come across this problem before and cannot remember what I did to fix it but any way it is presenting its self to me again.

I have this page: http://minecraftcons...a.com/index.php with an include file loading random images, however the same code on these pages:
http://minecraftconsolecrafting.comxa.com/sections/build-navi.php
http://minecraftconsolecrafting.comxa.com/sections/springhill-kingdom-01.php
are not working.

I have other websites that this method of coding is working fine on for example here is another of my websites:
http://divinegardensandlandscapes.com/index.php here the include code for random image loader is working fine on all pages it appears on so what is happening when this fail takes place?

Any help and or advice would be hugely appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Please remeber I am a noob when answering. Thanks

Hi,

Please bear with me, I have no real experience with PHP but am using it for the first time in a page for maintenance purposes.

One of the things I am trying to do is include a random page from within a certain folder (folder: 'modules/did-you-know').  Inside this folder there are currently three files named in this format 'did-you-know-###.php' - where ### is the page number.

I have no problems including the named page individually, but it is when randomising it where it causes errors.

The code I am using is the following:

Code: [Select]
<?php
            $i=0;
$myDirectory = dir("modules/did-you-know");
while($file=$myDirectory->read())
{
$array[$i]=$file;
$i++;
}
$myDirectory->close();

$num = count($array);
$random = rand(0, $num);

include "$array[$random]"; ?>

When I load the page, I get numerous errors, as follows:

Warning: include(..) [function.include]: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /home/{USERNAME}/public_html/test2/index.php on line 103

Warning: include(..) [function.include]: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /home/{USERNAME}/public_html/test2/index.php on line 103

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '..' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/{USERNAME}/public_html/test2/index.php on line 103

Warning: include(did-you-know-002.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/{USERNAME}/public_html/test2/index.php on line 103

Warning: include(did-you-know-002.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/{USERNAME}/public_html/test2/index.php on line 103

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'did-you-know-002.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/{USERNAME}/public_html/test2/index.php on line 103

Now, it's clear from the above that it is (at least sometimes) reading the files from within the 'did-you-know' directory, so not sure why I am getting these errors. (Especially the last one, as that would suggest an error to do with permissions, would it not?)

Line 103 is the "include" line.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have 2 websites, a companies main website written in PHP and a web application they have purchased written in aspx

(main site)
www.example.com

(web app)
www.webapp.com/login.aspx?CompanyName=example

The client wants people to be able to login from their main website which then redirect to the webapp (which will be styled like their branding) without the customer realising they have left the main site.

I thought i may be able to achieve this with a simple include from a page within the main site such as;
Code: [Select]
<?php
// www.example.com/software

include"http://www.webapp.com/login.aspx?CompanyName=example";
?>
This pulls in the login page fine, however when you try to login it does not redirect, it gives a 404 error as it trys to open this URL
http://www.example.com/software/login.aspx?CompanyName=example

Is there a way of pulling in the necessary html from the aspx site to provide a login box in my clients main site but then have it redirect to the correct aspx page (on the aspx site)?

I have thought about using an iframe, but that wont redirect to the webapp upon login, but just keep everything withing the iframe

thanks for any advice...

Hello All,   I have been going crazy trying to figure this out, I hope someone can help me out   I have header and footer.php files that on all my pages I get them to load with include,   but for some strange reason, this certain page it will not load I did some research and apparently theres problems with div and php, does anyone know how to make this work?   Thank you in advance, Elaine Attached Files  test.txt   4.81KB   7 downloads

Hi all,

I have a strange issue going on. It may be server related, but I don't know what to look for.

I have a .php page with a few Virtual Includes:
Code: [Select]
<?php virtual ("nav.shtml"); ?>
...throughout it. I have also a parser that is displaying XML data in a table form.

The parser works with the standard:
Code: [Select]
<?php include ('parser.php'); ?>
...however, if I have the Virtual above the include, the parser doesn't work. Or at least it will not "find the file" however, the file is there and it works ABOVE the virtual, displaying it fine...

For example, this works:
Code: [Select]
<?php include ('parser.php'); ?>
<?php virtual ('file.shtml'); ?>

This doesn't:
Code: [Select]
<?php virtual ('file.shtml'); ?>
<?php include ('parser.php'); ?>

Any thoughts?

Hello everyone.  I'm having a problem with what should be a fairly simple login system that is included on the index page of my site.  Basically, it is set up to display a short form so that the user can enter his/her email address and password to log in.  If there is a mistake with the email/password, it displays the same form with a notification that there was an incorrect email or password.  The problem that I'm having is that when the wrong email/password is entered, the page goes to the next step of notifying the user of the incorrect information but it does not display the rest of the page that it is included on.  What is happening is when the user arrives at the site it displays the index.php page, which is currently a blank page with some simple text, and the included page mentioned above.  When an incorrect email/password is entered, instead of staying on the index page and displaying the included page with the login form, the user is redirected away from the index page to the included page only.

Here's my code for "head.inc.php":

Code: [Select]

I want to use a variable I defined on another page, but I don't know how.

Here's the original page with the variable:
cart.php
Code: [Select]
$total += $qty*$row['price'];
Here's the new page new page without the variable:
checkout.php
Code: [Select]
//I want the value $total onto this page

This include does not work. I presume due to the ? in it.

<?php include("signin-redirect.php?page=my-account.php");?> 

It works as just signin-redirect.php but I want to include the ?page=my-account.php on the end of it.

Thanks
