PHP - Help With Php Conditions

I forgot how to write multiple conditions with if().

if (A == B || C == D) {foobar;}
I know the above is if any of the conditions is true, then do foobar, but what is it again so they both have to be true? I have forgotten, but I'm guessing either

if (A == B && C == D) {foobar;}
if (A == B ++ C == D) {foobar;}

?

Hello, Im trying to write a select query that has two conditions. First the playername is = username and second shipyard = 1 I keep getting a parse error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in C:\wamp\www\SWB\planet1.php on line 85

Heres the code:

Code: [Select]
$tester = "1";
$colname_Planet1 = "-1";
if (isset($_SESSION['MM_Username'])) {
  $colname_Planet1 = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_SESSION['MM_Username'] : addslashes($_SESSION['MM_Username']);
}
mysql_select_db($database_swb, $swb);
$query_Planet1 = ("SELECT * FROM planet WHERE ShipYard = %s AND PlayerName = %s",  GetSQLValueString($tester, "int"),GetSQLValueString($colname_Planet1, "text"));
$Planet1 = mysql_query($query_Planet1, $swb) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Planet1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Planet1);
$totalRows_Planet1 = mysql_num_rows($Planet1);

Please help :|

Hey all,

I would like to some how clean up an if statement to be a little cleaner.

Code: [Select]
if(condition && condition && (condition && condition) || (condition && condition) || (condition && condition))

How can I do that?

Hello everyone! I'm new here on phpfreaks - Here's my problem. I get "1 <br/> 2" echoed, but not the query results. the connect() function connects and selects a table in a mysql database.

Here's the code:
Code: [Select]
<?php
connect();

$query = "SELECT `title`, `body`, `date` FROM `tutorials` ORDER BY `date` DESC" or die ("Query Error");

$counter = 0;

if ($query_run = mysql_query($query)) {

while ($query_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query_run)) && ($counter <= 2) {
$title = $query_row['title'];
$body = $query_row['body'];
$date = $query_row['date'];
$counter ++;
echo $counter;
echo "<br/>";
echo $title;
echo $body;
echo $date;
}
}
?>
If anyone has any idea, please help! - I'm been battling this for a few hours now

Good afternoon all, I'm looking for some help with joins and dates.  Not something I have ever done before so hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.  Here is the code I have just now which works absolutely fine in terms of find the person with the oldest date of birth:

$get_oldest_player = mysql_query("
SELECT 
	P.PlayerDOB AS dob,
	CONCAT(P.PlayerFirstName, ' ', P.PlayerLastName) AS name, 
	P.PlayerID AS id
FROM 
	tplss_players P, tplss_appearances A, tplss_matches M
WHERE 
	P.PlayerID = A.AppearancePlayerID AND
	A.AppearanceMatchID = M.MatchID AND
	M.MatchDateTime = '$matchdate'
ORDER BY
	dob ASC
LIMIT 0,1
",$connection) or die(mysql_error());

Problem is, I have two tables I'm wanting to include in this query, and not entirely sure how I combine them in the search.  I have ONE table for the people (tplss_players) but TWO tables recorded instances of their involvement in matches (tplss_appearances and tplss_substitutions).    Should I use a LEFT JOIN somehow ?  Not sure where it sits in the layout of the query?   tplss_appearances and tplss_substitutions are the same in their structure.     Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Niall

Do race conditions usually exist when writing OR appending to an existing file?

Code: [Select]
$f1 = fopen($filename1, 'r+');
$f2 = fopen($filename2, 'a');
flock($f1, LOCK_EX);
flock($f2, LOCK_EX);
fwrite($f1, 'foo');
fwrite($f2, 'foo');
flock($f1, LOCK_UN);
flock($f2, LOCK_UN);
fclose($f1);
fclose($f2);

What would happen if this code ran at the exact same time? Is there a chance that the data could be corrupted in the aforementioned code example?

Hello everyone,

I'm a newbie with PHP and mySQL and need some assistance with writing a php script that searches a mySQL database using a form.   The form has five fields that I want to search from and one is a required field (State).  I need to filter or narrow down the search by either two or more fields.  The problem I am having is if I used multiple WHERE clauses using the AND condition I have to enter valid information in all five fields and if I use the OR condition then my search does not produce the desired outcome (too many results).  I "think" I need to use the AND condition but I need to be able to leave some of the fields blank (except for the State field) and narrow my search with using anywhere from 2-5 search fields.

Also, another requirement is to be able to enter partial information in the search field "without" having to enter a wildcard in the search field.  Any assistance is very much appreciated and thanks in advance for your help.

Form Fields:
State                  SELECT FIELD
Lease                 TEXT FIELD
Operator Name   TEXT FIELD
County or Parish TEXT FIELD
Well No               TEXT FIELD

I have a table called well_permits and it is structure is as follows:

date            DATE
state           TEXT
county        VARCHAR
api              VARCHAR
permit_no   VARCHAR
operator      VARCHAR
phone         VARCHAR
contact       VARCHAR
lease           VARCHAR
well_no       VARCHAR
permit_for  VARCHAR
welltype      VARCHAR
wellspot      VARCHAR
lat              FLOAT
lon             FLOAT
depth         VARCHAR

This is what I have for the connecting to my database and selecting the fields:

<?php require_once('../../../Connections/Wldatabase.php'); ?>

Hi,

I'm using a form which contains many select boxes.

As you see i have to use many IF condition to display the result of every select combinations.

Is there any way to do it in better way and using less coding?

Thanks.

I am a novice PHP coder, just started learning.

I am trying to display a message on my webpage that should be triggered by a date check.  The code is below (I removed all HTML tags for simplicity for now):

<?php

$m=date("m");
$d=date("d");
$y=date("Y");

$int_d = (int)$d;

//Thanksgiving

if ($m="11"&&$y="2010"&&$int_d>23&&$int_d<=28)
   {
   echo 'Happy Thanksgiving!';
   }

//Holidays

if ($m="12"&&$y="2010"&&$int_d>=18&&$int_d<=31)
   {
   echo 'Happy Holidays!';
   }
?>

I want each statement to be executed during the appropriate dates i.e. "Happy Thanksgiving" from 11/24/2010 to 11/28/2010, and "Happy Holidays" from 12/18/2010 to 12/31/2010.

The problem is that both statement are being executed regardless of the date conditions I use?

Thoughts?

Thanks

I have the following code:

$fp = fopen(“path_to_file”, ‘a’);
flock($fp, LOCK_EX);
fwrite($fp, $string);
flock($fp, LOCK_UN);  
fclose($fp);

If I try to lock the file in two different places at the same time, this will cause a race condition. How can I prevent this? I know in Java, for example, it has a concurrent library which contains reentrant lock, which basically tries to get the lock and if can't waits. What can I do in PHP?

NOTE - Please read the information first as it contains important information to understand the problem.

array( "C1"=> array( 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9 ), //7 Numbers "C2"=> array( 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19 ), //6 Numbers "C3"=> array( 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 30 ), //7 Numbers "C4"=> array( 31, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39 ), //7 Numbers "C5"=> array( 41, 42, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 ), //7 Numbers "C6"=> array( 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 57, 58 ), //7 Numbers "C7"=> array( 61, 62, 64, 65, 69, 70 ), //6 Numbers "C8"=> array( 71, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78 ), //6 Numbers "C9"=> array( 82, 83, 85, 87, 88, 89, 90 ) //7 Numbers );

The above array has 60 Numbers to be filled out of 108 MATRIX BLOCK / CELL which meets the condition that for a FULL BLOCK containing 4 MINI BLOCKS WITH 3 ROWS (max. allowed) EACH

I have been able to generate this without any issue meeting all the conditions of the Columns

My Allocation Matrix Array will look like

array( "R1"=> array( "C1"=> true, // Means that MATRIX BLOCK R1C1 will be NOT EMPTY "C2"=> false, // Means that MATRIX BLOCK R1C2 will be EMPTY "C3"=> true, "C4"=> false, "C5"=> true, "C6"=> false, "C7"=> true, "C8"=> true, "C9"=> false ), "R2"=> array( "C1"=> false, "C2"=> true, "C3"=> false, "C4"=> true, "C5"=> false, "C6"=> true, "C7"=> true, "C8"=> true, "C9"=> false ), "R3"=> array( "C1"=> true, "C2"=> true, "C3"=> true, "C4"=> true, "C5"=> false, "C6"=> false, "C7"=> false, "C8"=> false, "C9"=> true ), "R4"=> array( "C1"=> true, "C2"=> true, "C3"=> true, "C4"=> false, "C5"=> true, "C6"=> true, "C7"=> false, "C8"=> false, "C9"=> false ), "R5"=> array( "C1"=> false, "C2"=> false, "C3"=> false, "C4"=> false, "C5"=> true, "C6"=> true, "C7"=> true, "C8"=> true, "C9"=> true ), "R6"=> array( "C1"=> true, "C2"=> true, "C3"=> false, "C4"=> true, "C5"=> false, "C6"=> true, "C7"=> false, "C8"=> false, "C9"=> true ), "R7"=> array( "C1"=> false, "C2"=> false, "C3"=> true, "C4"=> false, "C5"=> true, "C6"=> false, "C7"=> true, "C8"=> true, "C9"=> true ), "R8"=> array( "C1"=> true, "C2"=> false, "C3"=> false, "C4"=> true, "C5"=> false, "C6"=> false, "C7"=> true, "C8"=> true, "C9"=> true ), "R9"=> array( "C1"=> true, "C2"=> false, "C3"=> true, "C4"=> false, "C5"=> true, "C6"=> true, "C7"=> false, "C8"=> false, "C9"=> true ), "R10"=> array( "C1"=> false, "C2"=> true, "C3"=> true, "C4"=> true, "C5"=> true, "C6"=> false, "C7"=> true, "C8"=> false, "C9"=> false ), "R11"=> array( "C1"=> false, "C2"=> true, "C3"=> false, "C4"=> true, "C5"=> true, "C6"=> true, "C7"=> false, "C8"=> true, "C9"=> false ), "R12"=> array( "C1"=> true, "C2"=> false, "C3"=> true, "C4"=> true, "C5"=> false, "C6"=> true, "C7"=> false, "C8"=> false, "C9"=> true ) );

In the above array R stands for Row, C for Column, TRUE/FALSE (Boolean) means that if TRUE a Number can be filled in the resulting MATRIX BLOCK / CELL ( Row[Number]Column[Number] ) else if FALSE the MATRIX BLOCK / CELL shall be EMPTY

The result for the above shall be

PROBLEM : 

I am unable to understand what should possibly be the logic & loop used here for creating a MATRIX ALLOCATION MAP as shown above

I have tried while, foreach & for but unable determine the perfect combination which would meet the conditions.

(Tried all of the above with Nested Loops also)
