hi there,

i am fairly new to OOPs in php, i get an error when i declare the argument type (as object) in a function and pass the same type (object).



class eBlast {
       public static function getEmail(object $result) {
           return $result->email;
       }
}

$r = mysql_fetch_object($query);
eBlast::getEmail($r);

echo gettype($r); // outputs: object



error is :

Code: [Select]
Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to eBlast::getEmail() must be an instance of object, instance of stdClass given, called in C:\wamp\www\integra\client\pl_eblast\admin\send_emails.php on line 145 and defined in C:\wamp\www\integra\client\pl_eblast\app\app.eBlast.php on line 8
if i remove the type declaration in the function it works, but just would like to know why it shows error when pass the same type, also isnt mysql_fetch_object is the instance of stdclass?

thanks in advance!

I have a website that I did for my uncle and now, the requirements are going beyond my html knowledge and into the realm of server scripting.

My issue is that I need to loop through all the images in a given folder and subfolders and preload them into the html so that the user can view them within a slide show.  There are currently 6 subfolders with over 20 pics in each and there are more pics to come and different folders to add.  I have a media page with the first picture within each category (subfolder) displayed as an eye catcher to the category.  once the user clicks on the image, the slide show will start in a popup.  The problem is that with js, I have to list out every image since it cannot look through a directory listing.  I would like to simply call a server side script that will create an array of the images and preload them so that when the slide show is ran, the appropriate images will show.

I am found numerous scripts for preloading images, written in php, but I am unsure how to implement them and keep a html extension for my pages.  As the site is written entirely in html and javascript, I would like to keep the html extentions if possible. 

As this is my first site, I am sure that server side scripting will become a bigger role, but baby steps are what I need right now.  In addition, if anyone has a good site for learning the server scripting world, I would greatly appreciate the reference.

Hi All,   How could i implemnent tab strip (jquery ui tab) in php.   Any help in this regard will be appreciated   Thanks Ahsan

I'm working on a Wordpress theme, and I'm assigning my own image to the navi list.

So far assigning the image to the corresponding works if I type in the path manually, but the only problem I'm experiencing is assigning the correct path to the image with a Wordpress specific function, here's the code:

<div id='nav' class='link_var_4'>

 <div id='blog_navi'><?php wp_nav_menu(array( "link_before" => "<li><img src='" . bloginfo ('template_directory') . "/images/arrow.png' /></li>", "theme_location" => "primary-menu")); ?>

 </div>

</div>


How can I make the bloginfo function work inside the array in this above example? I've tried different variations and methods, none of them gave the expected results.


For those who don't know Wordpress, normally in Wordpress you'd do it like this:


<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo ('template_directory'); ?>/images/logo.png" alt="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>" /></a>

I have a while loop that fetches data from the database and prints it out organized in a table.

Now I want to implement a voting functionality, the problem I'm encountering is, once I've printed out a list of tables one table after other with the while loop I need to figure out a way to tell the query TO WHICH of those tables to ADD or SUBTRACT the vote.

I thought of implement a hidden id field into the while loop of contributions, the id field would be fetched from the auto_increment field in the contribution table in the MySQL database.

Since the id field is unique there can be no misunderstandings to which table to add the vote.

My question how can I do exactly that? How can I add a hidden id field to the while loop with the table WHICH I then can pass along to the voting script.

Here's the while loop:

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($data)) 

{

echo "<table padding='0' margin='0' class='knuffixTable'>";

echo "<tr><td width='65px' height='64px' class='avatar_bg' rowspan='2' colpan='2'><img src='$avatar_path' alt='avatar' /></td><td class='knuffix_username'><strong>" . $user_name;

echo "</strong><br />" . $row['category'] .  " | " . date('M d, Y', strtotime($row['contributed_date'])) . "</td></tr><tr><td>";

echo "<form action='' method='post'>

<input type='submit' name='plusVote' value='Y' />

<input type='submit' name='minusVote' value='N' />

</form></td><td class='votes'>Y[ - ] | N[ - ]</td></tr>";

echo "<tr><td class='knuffix_name' colspan='3'><strong>" . htmlentities($row['name']) . "</strong><br /></td></tr>";

echo "<tr><td colspan='2' class='knuffix_contribution'><pre>" . $row['contribution'] . "</pre><br /></td></tr>";

echo "</table>";

}


If I simply add $row['con_id'] it's obviously going to be echo'd out, what is the right practice to have it hidden?

Basically I am submitting and retrieving data from a 3rd party's API. But every time I submit a form, it gives me this error.

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://3rdpartywebsite.com/api' from origin 'https://mywebsite.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

 

So I have been researching and there seems to be so many different answers. I have tried adding this code to the page but still get an error.

<?php
// ADD THIS CODE ON THE VERY TOP OF THE PAGE I AM SUBMITTING THE FORM.

header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true");
header("Access-Control-Max-Age: 1000");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers: X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Origin, Cache-Control, Pragma, Authorization, Accept, Accept-Encoding");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods: PUT, POST, GET, OPTIONS, DELETE");
?>

 

I have also tried to add this to .htaccess file and still get the same error.

Header add Access-Control-Allow-Headers "origin, x-requested-with, content-type"
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Methods "PUT, GET, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS"

 

I was wondering what am I doing wrong? What's the correct way of implementing CORS to my site?

Hi again people!

I found this code that codes for a countdown timer.
My problem is, how do I implement it?
I've found similar codes that leave me dazzled as I try to get them to work.

The URL from which I found this is:
http://scripts.franciscocharrua.com/server-side-countdown-clock.php

The code is:

Code: [Select]
function countdown_clock(year, month, day, hour, minute, format)
         {
         //I chose a div as the container for the timer, but
         //it can be an input tag inside a form, or anything
         //who's displayed content can be changed through
         //client-side scripting.
         html_code = '<div id="countdown"></div>';

         document.write(html_code);

         Today = new Date();
         Todays_Year = Today.getFullYear() - 2000;
         Todays_Month = Today.getMonth();

         <?
         $date = getDate();

         $second = $date["seconds"];
         $minute = $date["minutes"];
         $hour = $date["hours"];
         $day = $date["mday"];
         $month = $date["mon"];
         $month_name = $date["month"];
         $year = $date["year"];
         ?>

         //Computes the time difference between the client computer and the server.
         Server_Date = (new Date(<?= $year - 2000 ?>, <?= $month ?>, <?= $day ?>,
                                 <?= $hour ?>, <?= $minute ?>, <?= $second ?>)).getTime();
         Todays_Date = (new Date(Todays_Year, Todays_Month, Today.getDate(),
                                 Today.getHours(), Today.getMinutes(), Today.getSeconds())).getTime();

         countdown(year, month, day, hour, minute, (Todays_Date - Server_Date), format);
         }

function countdown(year, month, day, hour, minute, time_difference, format)
         {
         Today = new Date();
         Todays_Year = Today.getFullYear() - 2000;
         Todays_Month = Today.getMonth();

         //Convert today's date and the target date into miliseconds.

         Todays_Date = (new Date(Todays_Year, Todays_Month, Today.getDate(),
                                 Today.getHours(), Today.getMinutes(), Today.getSeconds())).getTime();
         Target_Date = (new Date(year, month, day, hour, minute, 00)).getTime();

         //Find their difference, and convert that into seconds.
         //Taking into account the time differential between the client computer and the server.
         Time_Left = Math.round((Target_Date - Todays_Date + time_difference) / 1000);

         if(Time_Left < 0)
            Time_Left = 0;

         switch(format)
               {
               case 0:
                    //The simplest way to display the time left.
                    document.all.countdown.innerHTML = Time_Left + ' seconds';
                    break;
               case 1:
                    //More datailed.
                    days = Math.floor(Time_Left / (60 * 60 * 24));
                    Time_Left %= (60 * 60 * 24);

                    Time_Left %= 60;
                    seconds = Time_Left;

                    dps = 's'; hps = 's'; mps = 's'; sps = 's';
                    //ps is short for plural suffix.
                    if(days == 1) dps ='';
                    if(hours == 1) hps ='';
                    if(minutes == 1) mps ='';
                    if(seconds == 1) sps ='';

                    document.all.countdown.innerHTML = days + ' day' + dps + ' ';
                    document.all.countdown.innerHTML += hours + ' hour' + hps + ' ';
                    document.all.countdown.innerHTML += minutes + ' minute' + mps + ' and ';
                    document.all.countdown.innerHTML += seconds + ' second' + sps;
                    break;
               default:
                    document.all.countdown.innerHTML = Time_Left + ' seconds';
               }

         //Recursive call, keeps the clock ticking.
         setTimeout('countdown(' + year + ',' + month + ',' + day + ',' + hour + ',' + minute + ',' +
                     time_difference + ', ' + format + ');', 1000);
         }
I've tried saving the file as a php file and html file, but to no avail...
