PHP - Just A Quick Question About Running Scripts On My Own Server
This may be a stupid question so forgive me if it sounds like a dumb question.
I have my own server set up and I was wondering if it was at all possible to have a script running that is hosted on my server, while my PC is off or possibly just without having to load it within my web browser. I have a few scripts I wish to run forever without lagging my old PC. Is there a way to do this? Thanks. P.S All the scripts will be using the file_get_contents function to open HTTP streams, and a few explode functions here and there. Similar TutorialsI am coding a browser game in php/mysql. the economy code needs to run at a regular interval. How can I get my code to run say, every 6/12/24 minutes? I heard of something called a cron job, but im not sure if it is going to be what I need. Hi Guys, I'm having some trouble running PHP scripts. I have two forms, each of which redirects to a PHP script (each PHP script is different, but essentially both have the same problem) as an action. The code is below. I'm hosted at Bluehost, which runs PHP on their servers so I know the tech is compatible. Thanks! Cheers! <html> <script type="text/php">include('newform.php');</script> <head> <title>TradeSquared></title> <p align="center">Trade Squared</p> </head> <body> <br> <br> <div align="center"> Create a new Listing: <form action="newform.php" method="get" name="newform"> Type:<select name="type"> <option value="book">Book</option> <option value="apt">Apartment</option> <option value="item">Class Items</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Submit"/> </form> <br> Search current Listings: <form action="searchform.php" method="get" name="searchform"> Type:<select name="type"> <option value="book">Book</option> <option value="apt">Apartment</option> <option value="item">Class Items</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Submit"/> </form> </div> </body> </html> This is the PHP code on which action redirects to <?php $type = $_GET=["type"]; if($type=="book") header("location:addbooklisting.html"); else if($type == "apt") header("location:aptform"); else header("location:itemform"); ?> Second page <html> <head> <title>Create New Book Listing</title> <p align="center"> <b>Create a New Book Listing</b> </p> </head> <body> <div align="center"> <br><br> <form name="addlisting" method="get" action="bookvalidation.php"> <table width="100" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center">Title </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><input type="text" name="title"/> </td> </tr> <tr><td><p/></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center">Price </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">$<input type="text" name="dollars" size="3"/>.<input type="text" name="cents" size="2"/> </td> </tr> <tr><td><br></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center">ISBN</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><input type="text" name="isbn"/></td> </tr> <tr><td><br></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center">Condition </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><select name="cond"> <option name="used">Used</option> <option name="new">New</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr><td><br></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center">Commentaries </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><textarea rows="5" cols="30" name="comm"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr><td><br></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center"><input type="submit" value="Add Listing"/></td> </tr> </table> </form> </div> </body> </html> PHP code for second page <html> <head>Results</head> <body> The Following Occurred: <?php $title = $_GET["title"]; $dollar = $_GET["dollars"]; $cents = $_GET["cents"]; $price = $dollar.".".$cents $isbn = $_GET["isbn"]; $cond = $_GET["cond"]; $decide; $comments = $_GET["comm"]; for($i=0; $i<=12; i++) { if(ctype_digit($isbn)) $decide = true; else $decide = false; } if( !(($dollar && $cents)==int) ) echo "Price must be in numbers."; else if($decide == false || strlen($isbn)!=13) echo "ISBN contains 13 characters and must be numbers only" else { $db=mysql_connect("localhost","username","pass!"); mysql_select_db("db_dataabse",$db); $dbsucces=mysql_query("INSERT INTO BookListings (Title, ISBN, Price, Condition, Comments) VALUES ('$title', '$isbn', '$price', '$cond', '$comments')"); if($dbsuccess==true) echo "Posting was succesful"; else echo"Unsuccesful log."; } ?> </body> </html> Hi, actually the problem is i have been modifying a website, which has been already built and working. so i have all the code and everything, i need to keep it running to make changes. But i m facing problems like above Warning: require_once(../../global-inc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\\Apache2.2\htdocs\login.php on line 2 Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../../global-inc.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in C:\\Apache2.2\htdocs\login.php on line 2 please let me know what to do ... and the other thing is i need to execute the entire file of code at a time .....can u please tell me the process of doing it .......... thanks in advance shiva shiva Hi all, I have a question. How do I put a new line in a script? I've tried everything. <?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost","*","*"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("my_db", $con); $sql="SELECT * FROM People WHERE FirstName='Borko' AND LastName='Borkov'"; if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) { die('Error: ' . mysql_error()); } echo "Found!"; echo($sql); mysql_close($con) ?> I wrapped it in <html> and so on, <br /> doesn't work. Saved it in html, <br /> still doesn't work and the script doesn't execute. The output I get right now is Quote Found!SELECT * FROM People WHERE FirstName='Borko' AND LastName='Borkov' I want it to display Quote Found! SELECT * FROM People WHERE FirstName='Borko' AND LastName='Borkov' And another question - how can I see what the sql variable is searching for from the browser? For now, as you have seen, I just use the echo($sql) but it doesn't quite cut it - is there a way to see just FirstName and LastName without the whole code? I tried echo($sql [FirstName] [LastName], as you've already guessed it didn't work... A hint would also be greatly appreciated! Any help on these two issues? Does storing multiple values in 1 database field with a varchar let's say set at 150, all separated by "|'s" so I don't have to create a field name for each one is it better performance wise or no? (storing 6-7 different |'s that will be outputted with a array ofc) ? hey! I have a site where I want to use multiple issets at the same time, like if I have four buttons and four issets: if(isset($_POST['one'])) { echo '<div class="example_box">one</div>'; } if(isset($_POST['two'])) { echo '<div class="example_box">two</div>'; } if(isset($_POST['three'])) { echo '<div class="example_box">three</div>'; } if(isset($_POST['four'])) { echo '<div class="example_box">four</div>'; } but for some reason it seems like only one isset can be activate at a time, is there any way to work this out or something :s? I've tried some variants of elseif stuff and such, but yeah, I'm pretty new at this stuff hey guys i have a script that creates a cookie named "MyLoginPage" now everything works well the cookie is saved and it keeps the user logged in The Question ok so im wanting to create a link that will delete the cookie so when the user clicks the link it will delete the cookie is this possible?? if so, how?? many thanks how to open a site with curl that has frames ? when ive tried it gives "your broswer does not support frames" ... code <?php //storecodefound.php v1.0 //purpose is to store the http refer and the code associated with the site to a db to be collected and verified by submitcode.php $code = $_GET['code']; $site = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; //check to see if the code already present $connect = mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die (mysql_error()); $check = mysql_query("SELECT code FROM hunter.codes WHERE code='$code'") or die (mysql_error()); $row = mysql_num_rows($check); echo "result of \$row is ".$row; echo "<br />"; if ($row = 0) { //insert into db cause it's not there mysql_query("INSERT INTO hunter.codes (id, code, site) VALUES ('','$code','$site')") or die (mysql_error()); } else { //echo it's already here echo "Code already found on server!"; } ?> my question is the result of $row is infact 0 and the if statement says if $row is 0 to insert into db and instead it's given me the code is already found? What is the difference between these two lines Code: [Select] !isset($_POST[$requiredField]) and Code: [Select] !$_POST[$requiredField] hi. when i get into some function manual and there is a note says. Quote This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged. . is that meaning that after 5.3.0 version this function will not be supported? thanks , Mor. Is there a way to only output the first, say, 30 words of a variable? I have a way to do it in mind, but seems like it's messy and not practical. Any suggestions? E.g: WITHOUT LIMIT: Welcome to my store. Would you like to buy something? We have really good noodles and fishes in doodle pools. WITH LIMIT: Welcome to my store. Would you like... Sort of like a short preview. I am starting to learn PDO by re-writing one of my existing scripts. Do I still need to validate $_GET or does PDO do the work for me? Currently I am using: Code: [Select] $id = $_GET['id']; $sth = $dbh->prepare('DELETE FROM van_reservations WHERE id = :id'); $sth->bindParam(':id', $id, PDO::PARAM_INT); $sth->execute(); I used to validate by using this: Code: [Select] $id = isset($_GET['id']) && is_numeric($_GET['id'])?(int) $_GET['id']:0; Hi, I've seen code like this multiple times, but I don't really know what it means. function funcName(&$something) { // whatever } What exactly does the "&" do before the variable? quick question... I have a column in my table called views. I want to reset the column to 0 for each row in the table. What's the easiest way to do this? I have data that is in a form right now being displayed in a textbox because I want the user to see the 'name' but the data that needs to be passed when submit is pressed is the id of the entity. So if I have <label id = "username" Value = "3"> Heintzman</label> can I use $_Post to retrieve that value once the form has been submitted because I dont want the data to be displayed in a textbox it looks ugly and isnt long enough for the text without editing. Hi guys, I was wondering if we have table of seats in a cinema (which makes the quantity to 1) and two users are booking the same seat at the same time on our application. How can we prevent that? I though if we create a session or even update that seat row and then if user doesn't finish the booking/or leave the browser on fora while in 10-15 minutes, that session still remains on. I'm sure we can expire that session how can we prevent both users have the same session and if one doesn't complete the purchase for any reason then how session can automatically update the database after that 15 minutes? Thanks in advance. Hello, If we have large amount of data we always use SCP to copy data from remote server. scp -P 100 user@192.168.2.3: /home/user/folder /home/user1/folder/. But if DSL (Internet) of local computer disconnects I observed failure of transfer many times and this whole process becomes irritating. Is there any alternative way to use scp or rsync with php so that we can execute it with script ? Something like this ? <?php // Having shell access but its not working 4 me... $conn = ssh2_connect('ftp.server.com', 100); ssh2_auth_password($conn 'user', 'pass'); ssh2_scp_send($conn, '/local/filename', '/remote/filename', 0644); ?> Another question is there any way we can run such code with the help of shell_exec() or is this implementation is secure? Thanks in Advance! Long story short i'm paginating database results. So pages = results / res-per-page-limit but 28 / 10 will be 2.8 should i use round() or ceil()? Can I replace the set message text for $body and $subject with $_POST['message']; $_POST['subject']; so I can get a users input from a html form via php as the action. Instead of the set text in the script. As seen http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/PHP_Email_SMTP_Authentication.htm |
