PHP - Dynamic Page Help!

Hi Guys,

I'm pulling a html page from a database (html newsletter). In the code I have links that will open a lightbox and allow the user to add news articles into it via ajax. So the html is being updated without being send back to the browser.

I have a "save" button which when the user clicks, I want to grab all of the html of the page and save it to the database. Not quite sure how to do this as the html that is being saved, is updated since it was retrieved by the browser.

Hi everybody

I am a PHP rookie for now, and
I want to reload the same dynamic page - it's content in several languages - by clicking little flags which are located at some point on the page - AND ITS NOT WORKING.

Clicking on the flag triggers a PHP script which basically says

Code: [Select]

]$_SESSION['lang'] = <Some_language>;
require ('webpage.php');


where webpage.php is the dynamic page, in different languages, with it's content drawn out from a database (which contains the content in all languages I chose to display, blah, blah)
Funny thing - when I look at the page html (View Page Source) - it seems OK (identical from one page to the next) ! But WHAT is displayed after the first attempt to change the language is not.
Is something fundamentally wrong with my approach ?

Hi,

I wanted to make a dynamic php page. I want the user to choose an option you could select in an option box (html) and after that I wish that down the page some text would change. If I take option 1 -> text 1, option 2 -> text 2, ...
But this doesn't work, do I need a button or something to made my code running, and how do I have to use it on the same page?
Or is it possible to run it automaticly after a new choice?

Thanx, Kevin

Hi guyz,

I am looking to create a dymanic comment box for my website where already logged in users can comment on webpages.

It is quite a challenge getting to dynamically display only the comments a particular user posted on a web page.

What I mean is I would like to be able to click on a page, see only the comments logged users posted on that page, and then post my own comment on that page. At the moment I created a comment box for my webpages but the issue is my posted comments on one particular page is displaying on all web pages with is comment system..This is the problem and it is very difficult to find helpful material hopefully you guyz can come to the rescue.

Please guys any help or suggestions are more than welcome.

Thanks

Hi

So I have successfully set up a website and database where a user can create a listing and view listings on a listing details page. The viewing can only be done, however, only from either from either running a search query from the search form or from clicking one of the listings from the listing table. The listings are not being indexed from the search engines from the direct page, instead from the listing table which is about 3,000 listings, not very user friendly to land on this page and have to go through the table or use the table filter.  Here's what I am trying to accomplish:

A web page that has a dynamic presence / URL like a Wordpress page: http://www.mysite.com/listing_title/ The title of the page has the listing information in it: This page is about a $listing_title $listing_item listing number $listing_number that is online! Each individual Listing / page is indexed on the search engines and has a direct link to it
I am familiar with PHP and have created this site but I am far from an expert! Please give me a code example or link to one because if you just say "do this to this and that" you will totally loose me.
Thank you so much for any help.

Hey all,

This question is coming forth of another topic, but since that topic is not really about this issue, I posted this new topic.

Okay, so I made a table, and each row is generated with a WHILE loop.
In this while loop, there's also a form generated for each row/record, for updating them seperately.

I'm having trouble with naming those forms to process them seperately.
I could name them like name="form20110001", with the number being the record's id.
But since there can be gaps between id's, how can I retreive them efficiently?
And I want them to process all on a single process page, obviously.

How can I do this easily?
Can someone give me a concise example?
Would appreciate it a lot.
Thanks

I have a product page which populates all my products in one page. I have also a detail page which gives details on a product which i wanted to know. My problem is when I am going to click on the product that I want the detail page shows incorrect product details. I just want one detail product page so that it will be easy to edit the page in the future.

I am asking an Idea on how to make one detail page in all of my products.. thanks...

I am looking to add a comment area to pages that are created with data that is pulled off of a database. I am looking for something like the forums on this site, but not as complex. I was thinking about attempting to use a text file to hold the comments for each ID number that is in my database and then displaying those comments when the ID number is called. I'm not sure how I would go about making a function that would search if there was a text file for that ID number and if not to create one. I'm not even sure if this is the best way to go about it but I know if I put all the comments into a database it will get rather large rather quickly. Any pointers and good tutorials would be welcome.

Sorry if it sounds as if this post is rambling, I think I need to step away from the computer for a bit.

Thanks

Hi guys.. 1st post here.  I'm pretty new to php.. just a few weeks in.  I've gotten pretty decent at making mysql connections and extracting data, but now I'm wanting to take one of my urls that I echo to my page and create a new page.  Hoping someone can help...  Here's the pictu

MY MySQL Setup:
I have 1 table called table1. It has 2 columns which a 'Title' & 'Description'

My Index.php Page:
I connect to mysql. I pull the 'Title' from MySQL and loop it to produce 100 rows of data that fill my index page, as expected.

My Problem:
I now want to be able to click one of those rows and dynamically create a new page (description.php) that includes the 'Title' & 'Description'.

My Progress:
I've managed to click a row and create a hyperlink to mysite.com/$title (where 'title' is pulling the 'title' from the mysql db) but I all I get is page not found.

My Question:
How do I tell description.php to pull the 'Title' and 'Description' and link to it from index.php?

My Gratitude:
Thanks in advance!

Hi all

I need to combine these two scripts:

Firstly, the following decides which out of the following list is selected based on its value in the mySQL table:

<select name="pack_choice">
<option value="Meters / Pack"<?php echo (($result['pack_choice']=="Meters / Pack") ? ' selected="selected"':'') ?>>Meters / Pack (m2)</option>
<option value="m3"<?php echo (($result['pack_choice']=="m3") ? ' selected="selected"':'') ?>>Meters / Pack (m3)</option>
<option value="Quantity"<?php echo (($result['pack_choice']=="Quantity") ? ' selected="selected"':'') ?>>Quantity</option>
</select>

Although this works OK, I need it also to show dynamic values like this:

select name="category">
<?php
$listCategories=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `product_categories` ORDER BY id ASC");
while($categoryReturned=mysql_fetch_array($listCategories)) {
echo "<option value=\"".$categoryReturned['name']."\">".$categoryReturned['name']."</option>";
}
?>
</select>

I'm not sure if this is possible?

Many thanks for your help.

Quesion: Show each movie in the database on its own page, and give the user links in a "page 1, Page 2, Page 3" - type navigation system. Hint: Use LIMIT to control which movie is on which page. I have provided 3 files: 1st: configure DB, 2nd: insert data, 3rd: my code for the question. I would appreciate the help. I am a noob by the way.

First set up everything for DB:

<?php
//connect to MySQL
$db = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '000') or
    die ('Unable to connect. Check your connection parameters.');

//create the main database if it doesn't already exist
$query = 'CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS moviesite';
mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

//make sure our recently created database is the active one
mysql_select_db('moviesite', $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

//create the movie table
$query = 'CREATE TABLE movie (
        movie_id        INTEGER UNSIGNED  NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
        movie_name      VARCHAR(255)      NOT NULL,
        movie_type      TINYINT           NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
        movie_year      SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
        movie_leadactor INTEGER UNSIGNED  NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
        movie_director  INTEGER UNSIGNED  NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,

        PRIMARY KEY (movie_id),
        KEY movie_type (movie_type, movie_year)
    )
    ENGINE=MyISAM';
mysql_query($query, $db) or die (mysql_error($db));

//create the movietype table
$query = 'CREATE TABLE movietype (
        movietype_id    TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
        movietype_label VARCHAR(100)     NOT NULL,
        PRIMARY KEY (movietype_id)
    )
    ENGINE=MyISAM';
mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

//create the people table
$query = 'CREATE TABLE people (
        people_id         INTEGER UNSIGNED    NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
        people_fullname   VARCHAR(255)        NOT NULL,
        people_isactor    TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
        people_isdirector TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,

        PRIMARY KEY (people_id)
    )
    ENGINE=MyISAM';
mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

echo 'Movie database successfully created!';

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