PHP - Newb - Simply Calling Another Php Program ..?
I am running three scheduled tasks on my website. I am only allowed three per day by my host. I want to add another one. Can I simply call another php program from within a php program which is currently running ? Similar Tutorials
For example with an IDE to run a program is there a way to put some code in the path and let it tell me where it came from like a referral?
$ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
echo("$ref<br>";
Result: https://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=lambo As you can clearly see the page that we have entered the code in is referred by the URL here. It tells me that it was last at a word press page /wp-admin/admin-php and I can go to that page and it will be the last page it was at.. So bottom line then if i add this code to the admin page and click the same button i had before.. it will tell me the file that called out the admin page. Baslcaly I am looking for ideas on how to track the page i am now all the way back to the page with the button on it and all intermediate pages that it passes thru to get to the final destination. It seems that to succesfully troubleshoot a fault is to follow the path of the entire job and see if any breaks... Any thoughts or suggestions on how to best do this would greatly be appreciated.
I'm pretty new to php... I need a short script that I can place at the top of my web page that does the following: In theory, a person only be able to access page2.php unless they come directly from page1.php (The message that appear should say you are not authorized to access this page) I do not want to create login of any kind... Can you help? thanx in advance! I am looking for a really simple link directory script. Something similar to http://www.cygnusdirectory.com/ but with a banner on top. Any suggestions / recommendations ?

I am building a website, and the users can create a pet name. I only want them to be able to use letters, numbers and underscores in the names. How can I do this? Thanks!

But it seems PHP wants to "process" such things as 'IF' and other Conditions which is defeating the purpose. The problem specifically is that I NEED for a dynamic write to happen based on a variable that will put the following lines that start with IF (! isset // Make sure the checkbox arrays exist if (! isset($_POST['cp_checkbox_one'])) $_POST['cp_checkbox_one'] = array(); if (! isset($_POST['cp_checkbox_two'])) $_POST['cp_checkbox_two'] = array(); if (! isset($_POST['cp_checkbox_three'])) $_POST['cp_checkbox_three'] = array(); // here in the lines below is one way I have tried to make the the LINES ABOVE get written Dynamically // THIS PART returns the values I need, the checkbox names ---- // // foreach($_POST as $meta_key => $meta_value) { // if(cp_str_starts_with($meta_key, 'cp_checkbox')) { echo $meta_key; } // } // So that code WILL RETURN THE VALUES I NEED : // cp_checkbox_one, cp_checkbox_two, cp_checkbox_three // BASED ON THIS I WROTE THE FOLLOWING CODE-- BUT IT DOES NOT WORK AS A REPLACEMENT FOR A LINE // SUCH AS--- if (! isset($_POST['cp_checkbox_one'])) $_POST['cp_checkbox_one'] = array(); // function checkboxloop() { foreach($_POST as $meta_key => $meta_value) { if(cp_str_starts_with($meta_key, 'cp_checkbox')) { if (! isset($_POST[$meta_key])) $_POST[$meta_key] = array(); } } } // HERE I ASK FOR THE FUNCTION BUT WHILE I GET NO ERRORS I GET NO RESULTS // WHICH IS A PROPER SAVE OF UNCHECKED CHECKBOXES ON SUBMIT checkboxloop; I would very much appreciate knowing how to make the code keep looping whatever $meta_key names turn up on this page and then use those names to write the complete lines as STATIC PHP so that the IF conditions don't get "processed" while this function is called. In effect, I want to duplicate the effect of having the code lines WRITTEN, so that they perform exactly as if I had written them as PHP hard-code, as many lines as there will be $meta_keys, but not SEE the code--- just have it valid PHP. This function does NOT make the same thing happen internally. As soon as I replace the function with the HARD CODE PHP then it works...but, I have reached the stage where these lines of code have to happen dynamically. I am baffled how to get this to happen! If I use Echo then I get errors about the "IF". Thank you very much for your help! Hey i am doing a login and blog system i have done the login and reg part but i am having troubles with the adding post. Basically at the moment my user can make a post and they can anyone can view it, but i need to the user only be able to create there own prv post and that when anybody else logs in they cant make a post under it. Does anyone have any ideas? this is my code for the posts <?php session_start(); include('db_connect.php'); ?> Welcome to the fear blog <a href="logout.php">log out</a><hr/> <?php $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts ORDER BY id "); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $title = $row['title']; $content = $row['content']; $category = $row['category']; ?> <div id="post"> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="title"> <label>Title</label> <?php echo $title; ?> </div> <div id="category"><label>category</label> <?php echo $category; ?> </div> <div id="content"> <label>Content</label><?php echo $content; ?> </div> </div> <?php } ?> <div id="contents"> <form action="post.php" method="post"> <label> Title:</label><input type="text" name="title" /><br/> <label> Category:</label><input type="text" name="category" /><br /> <label> Content:</label><textarea name="content"></textarea><br/> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Post"/> </form> </div> </div> </div> </div> I need to rewrite this php statement Code: [Select] <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/mainimage.jpg" title="" alt="" /> When I try to do this Code: [Select] <?php echo '<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/mainimage.jpg" title="" alt="" />' ; ?>It does not work, because I guess I've open and closed a php code inside php. How do I properly write this statement? Thanks Ben Hi - I'm using SESSION variables to keep track of customers who come onto the site to order stuff. For example $_SESSION['customerid'] all the incoming customers. I also use SESSION variables with a different value for the managers to look at and keep track of customer data. eg : $_SESSION['customer']['firstname'] I am expecting many customers and managers to be simultaneously using the site. QUESTION: Do I need to increment the SESSION variable in some way in order to avoid that a session gets overwritten, or will my SESSION variables keep track and keep everything separated by dint of the fact that they contain different values ? so far my testing shows that things are working correctly, but I can only test with 3 / 4 virtual users in different browser windows . Hi - wondering if someone can give a little guidance: Why doesn't this trim the whitespace out of the string postzip? trim(strtoupper(((isset($_POST["postzip"]))?$_POST["postzip"]:""))) Thanks Hey guys havent coded in a while and im stumped. Ive checked google but to no avail lol i wanna include my config file and have an IF statement to run/include another file IE... <?php include("config/config.php"); If File(Not Exist); include("install/config.php"); ?> If someone can put me back on track it would be greatly epreciated Hi, preg_match isn't working the way I feel it should. The idea, when i finally get this script working, is to echo an order form back to the client (so they can see what they've ordered). At the moment I'm just trying to get the product description for each ordered product. $aryOrder: prodCode[6722] with a value of (for instance) 2 prodCode[6724] with a value of (for instance) 1 etc (only ordered products present in the array) prodDB.txt 6722 Hydrocolloid Blister Care 6724 Toe Spreader etc All products present in text file (prode code Description) BUT I get an echo with no matches for any ordered product (or any prod for that matter) i.e. no match: 6724, 6724 TOE SPREADER when clearly, the product code (6724 $aryItem) is present in the text file line ($line_of_text). I just don't get it! foreach($aryOrder as $aryItem => $qty) { $file_handle = fopen("prodDB.txt", "r"); while (!feof($file_handle)) { $line_of_text = fgets($file_handle); if (preg_match($aryItem, $line_of_text)) { echo "Matched! $aryItem, $line_of_text QTY: $qty <br>"; } else { echo "no match: $aryItem, $line_of_text <br>"; } } fclose($file_handle); } I'm completely new to PHP, trying to work it out from the manual, so I've probably made a very basic mistake, and may even be going about this in entirely the wrong way. Any help much appreciated, Steve Hi All, Im modifying someone elses PHP code (survey tool) (and i havent done PHP for years) Basically the code exports to an external csv file to a file called export.csv However everytime i get it to export, it creates copies. ie it will export to export(2).csv and export(3).csv. How can i make it so that it exports and overwritesa/ammed the existing export.csv file? I had a look at the code and i believe this code below is doing the exporting but not sure code doing the export ( i think) Code: [Select] <?php include('classes/main.class.php'); include('classes/special_results.class.php'); $survey = new UCCASS_Special_Results; echo $survey->results_csv(@$_REQUEST['sid'],$_REQUEST['export_type']); ?> The class that it uses to export Code: [Select] <?php //====================================================== // Copyright (C) 2004 John W.

Cant find where it's grabbing the info for "finaldate" or anything like that. Want to set the final date to feb 1st 2015 Javascript newb here. Anyone willing to help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Btw, I'm using a generic js countdown timer from: http://hilios.github...uery.countdown/ called "The Final Countdown for jQuery v2.0.4" It was preloaded in a template that I downloaded for my site. Edited by jakobe, 09 December 2014 - 01:09 AM. I'm working on an email template system where my client will go to a page and copy & paste the source code into their crm system. I'm trying to find a way to automatically replace the image path without the use of echo if possible. I've figured this out already with this script: Code: [Select] <? function GetFileDir($php_self){ $filename = explode("/", $php_self); // THIS WILL BREAK DOWN THE PATH INTO AN ARRAY for( $i = 0; $i < (count($filename) - 1); ++$i ) { $filename2 .= $filename[$i].'/'; } return $filename2; } ?> But I don't wanna have to go in and put Code: [Select] <?php echo GetFileDir("http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); ?> before all the image paths. So basically anywhere that src="images/whatever.jpg" is listed it will replace "images/" with "http://www.mydomain.com/images/whatever.jpg" is it possible to do this without having to place code before "images" ? I have a simple form that connects to this php page. Only two variables, "ArticleDescription" & "URL". I've tried a number of things, several of which are listed below, but have had no success. I'm certain it's just my idiocy but am requesting some help with this. I KNOW it's an easy fix, it's just over my head, I'm only four days into programming, so I'm a complete newb. Your kindness is requested. ---- <?php // connection mysql_select_db("doofyd5_comments", $con); $ArticleDescription=mb_convert_encoding($ArticleDescription, 'UTF-8', 'UTF-8'); $URL=htmlspecialchars($URL, ENT_QUOTES); $ArticleDescription=str_replace('\"','"',$ArticleDescription); $sql="INSERT INTO web_articles (ArticleDescription, URL) VALUES ('$_POST[ArticleDescription]','$_POST[URL]')"; if (mysql_query($sql,$con)) { header ("location:desiredurl"); require_once('desiredurl"); exit(); } else { echo "You may have added a single quote to the article description!"; } mysql_close($con) ?> ---- I have an array I want to define in Php and then sort it. I am pretty new to Php and don't know the syntax or what funcs to use. Here's the array I want: user_email, user_name, hours_worked_per_week, total_earned There will be about 120 users, and I want to sort them ascending alphabetically on user_email A couple months back, I asked on a gaming forum if anyone knew of a website that would track your *Steam Wishlist and email you when one of your wishlist games went on sale. No one at the time knew of a **solution, so I decided to buy "PHP, MySQL and Javascript" and try to roll my own. I managed to get the basics working. After the basics, I started thinking about fun stuff I could do with the data I collected from Steam regarding the games that go on sale regularly. The first part of my code file_get_content's the ***sale page(s) of games, and sucks out the games name, regular price, sale price, and the games homepage URL on Steam. This is enough to accomplish my basic task. The second part is where I need help, and that's getting more details on the game. The additional details I want to get about the game include its Publisher and Developer, and to get that detail I need to go to the games homepage URL I previously got from the global sale page. The issue is this: Some games have an age-restriction limitation, and you have to fill out a date form before entering the games homepage. An example of one of those pages would be: http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/1250/ I want to be able to POST a legal age to the above URL, and then (this is where I'm hazy) "re-load" the same URL, authorized by my previous POST. Is that possible? * Steam is a digital download service for computer games. ** Subsequently, there was another website found. But I was well into developing my solution and having fun. *** Example: http://store.steampowered.com/search/?specials=1 The following query or while loop is only increasing the ArticleID variable every 3rd time the script is run, I've narrowed it down to the following code snippet. Can you spot a problem with this, I'm in my first week of PHP and MySQL and I can't see any problem with it. Any help would be mighty appreciated by this idiot Code snippet: --- $result = mysql_query("SELECT ArticleID FROM test_top ORDER BY ArticleID ASC LIMIT 1") or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $ArticleID=$row['ArticleID']; } $ArticleID=intval($ArticleID); $ArticleID++; --- |
