May Anyone Help me with this Please?

Hi all, it's been a while since I wrote in PHP but a University project has forced me to touch up on my knowledge of it. I'm trying to re-create an old form making system I made a few years ago from memory. But it's not working. I know it's something very obvious but I just need another eye to take a look for me.

I get the following error message: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/birdneto/public_html/rebelfrogv2/p_createaccount.php on line 169

So I know it's do with my show_form(); function. Can anyone help?

Code: [Select]
<div id="page-body-special">

Okay, so I have a page with a heap of fields and buttons on it (and want to keep it like that really) inside one form.

Layout
Box 1 Button 1
Box 2 Button 2
Box 3 Button 3
Box 4 Button 4
etc...

Box 1 is called 'amount1$id'
Box 2 is called 'amount.$id' where $id is the $id of the data being displayed etc

So a sample form may look like
Box: "amount22" Button: "Pay22"
Box: "amount25" Button: "Pay25"
Box: "amount32" Button: "Pay32"
Box: "amount39" Button: "Pay39"
Box: "amount420" Button: "Pay420"

Its working fine up to that point.

My problem now is that I can't work out how to get that id number from the form once submitted. If I could get the button name somehow I could do it, although I don't know the button or box names when writing the processing script. I could use a loop and check if button1 to buttonX was posted etc, although if there is a large number of entries in the database, then that starts to become a problem. Thoughts?

Please keep in mind, im a newbi at php as well as these forums, and I just started using it this week. I have some background in C programing and know a little VB.

I am currently trying to make a php based webpage that has 5 different images on it. I want each image to change with respect to what is written in a text file within the server space. So to better explain this, I have a text file that is named "status.txt".

status.txt contents:

active
inactive
active
active
active

I want the first image to change to a different image if I change the first line of the text file to be inactive instead of active
and the 2nd image to change if I change the 2nd line (inactive) to active and so forth on all the other images.

I do know that i need to open the file, then read the file with fopen and fread and set what the contents that i read from the file equal to some variable (still not 100% sure im using the functions right). but im not sure how to set up the code so the image will change with respect to what is read from the text aka what the variable is equal too. I thought it would be a simple if statement but it seems more complicated then that.

and futhermore, im not sure where to place the open file, should i do this in the header? so every time website refreshes, is opens the file and reads the txt file and changes with respect to that?

Any help would be great! Thank you in advance.

What I am working on is a background to a user input comment -- essentially a framed box around the comment. For some reason I cannot fathom but which is probably simple, I can't get the image height variable, (set by the length of the comment) to be seen by the code outputting the framed box. So here's what I got:

To set the image position and height variables I put this code inside of a while loop, since there are multiple comments in the DB:

Code: [Select]

//Looks at the comment in the DB
//Calculates the number of lines based on 75 characters per line
$line_count = ceil(strlen($row3['comment'] /75));

//This sets the position of the username who posted the comment
$username_pos = ($text_pos + ($line_count * 33)) . ".00pt";

//Sets the initial starting position of the framed box on the page
$box_pos = $text_pos - 42.00 . ".00pt";

//Sets the height of the framed box
$box_ht = $username_pos + 50 . ".00pt";

//Outputs the framed box
echo "<img src='images/blue table.gif' style='position:absolute; left:140.00pt; top:$box_pos'; height:$box_ht'; width = 570.00pt; z-index:-1 class='cc01'>";


There is also code outputting the comment and username which seems to work just fine.

The result is a pretty box framing the comment, but the outputted image always ends up with the same height, which obviously doesn't work because each comment in the DB can have a different number of lines and would need a different size box.

Just to be clear, the source image is much larger than what can be produced by this code.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
