PHP - Need Some Logic For A Simple Problem

I have a file sharing script, where each file has a certain number of points. I need to subtract a set number of points from the total. I'm unsure about the logic of it.

This is how I total the number of points:
Code: [Select]
<?php
$fq = "SELECT * FROM `files` WHERE owner='$username' AND active=1";
$fw = $sql->query($fq);
$reward = 0;
while($fr = $fw->fetch_assoc()){
$reward = $fr['points'] + $reward;
}?>
I'm thinking I should use a loop, while a the number to subtract is greater than or equal than 0.

Can anyone help?

I want to ask the user questions by using a form. I have a text field where the user inputs either 1 or 2 and then they press submit. I can get this to work but I need to keep asking them questions based off there last answer to the previus question.   I am making a game where you start with a number ex 5 and then you either choose to take away 1 or two from that number. so we take away 2 now the number is 3 and then the computer has his go using the same number. He chooses to take away 1 which makes the number 2. Now we take away 2 and win the game for being the first one to get the number down to 0. Its a very simple game that im trying to do just to brush up on my php skills.   my code so far....

<p> please enter a number to begin the subtraction game</p>
<form name="submit1" method="post">
	<input type="text" name="startingNumber">
	<input type="submit" name='submit1'>
</form>
<?php if (!empty($_POST['startingNumber'])) {?> 
		<p>your starting number is: <?php echo $_POST['startingNumber']?></p>
		<?php 
		while(!$_POST['startingNumber'] == 0){?>
		<p> Would you like to minus one or two from <?php echo $_POST['startingNumber'];
		?></p>
		<form name="submit2" method="post">
			<input type="text" name="oneOrTwo">
			<input type="submit" name='submit2'>
	    </form>
	    
<?php } }?>

As you can see i am no where near close to getting this right. Im thinking i have to use a while loop to keep asking the question minus 1 or 2 until they reach 0. Inside this while loop im thinking i need something like a waituntil user has clicked submit.   In fact i have written the same game in c++ so if it helps here is that. (it works just how i want it too)   the problem im having is that in c++ you can use cin to get a input from the user and it waits until the user types in a value but im struggling to find anything like  that in php. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{   int number, oneOrTwo, remainder;
    cout << "please enter a number to begin the subtraction game";
    cin >> number;
    while (number != 0){
          cout <<"your turn, subtract 1 or 2 from " << number << endl;
          cin >> oneOrTwo;
          if (oneOrTwo == 1 || oneOrTwo == 2){
             number = number - oneOrTwo;
          }else{
            cout << "sorry you have entered a incorrect number. Please enter either 1 or 2" << endl;
            continue;      
          }
          if (number == 0){
             cout << "congratulations! you won the game"; 
             break;          
          }
          remainder = number % 3;
          if (remainder % 3 == 0){
             remainder = 2;              
          }
          cout << "now my turn im going to subtract " << remainder << " from " << number << endl;
          number = number - remainder;
          if (number == 0){
             cout << "sorry the computer won this time";      
          }
    }
    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Hi all, Its been a while since I looked at PHP and I have forgotten some basics
What I am trying to achieve is display category names, sub categories and results into a list

Code: [Select]
<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="#">Main Cat</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Sub Cat 1</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">result</a></li>
<li><a href="#">result</a></li>

</ul>
</li>
                <li><a href="#">Sub Cat 2</a>
<ul>
              <li><a href="#">result</a></li>
              <li><a href="#">result</a></li>
        </ul>
</ul>
</li>

What would be the best way to organise my database? Have everything in one entry like:

main_id / sub_id / listing_id / listing_name

or separate them into a table for cats, one for sub cats and what parent it belongs to, then a table for the listings linking to the sub cat it belongs to?

I have confused myself no end on how then to display the results, so any help with would be gratefully received!

Thanks

Dave

I am trying to understand PHP While Loops.

For example.
$info=mysql_fetch_array($query);
will create an array of a mysql query.

how does while($info=mysql_fetch_array($query)
{
echo $info['1'];
}

ensure that each element of the array is echoed.  It seems that $info is a one time statement that grabs an array,
how does adding While make it capable of being extended into rows? To me this says While this is true, do this.
But if it is true once, how does PHP know when to stop?

i have an array called $imageArray like this

Array
(
    [0] => 'Dashka'_Darren_Sheehan_1.jpg
    [1] => 'Dashka'_Darren_Sheehan_10.jpg
    [2] => 'Dashka'_Darren_Sheehan_2.jpg
    [3] => 'Dashka'_Darren_Sheehan_3.jpg
    [4] => 'Dashka'_Darren_Sheehan_4.jpg
    [5] => 'Dashka'_Darren_Sheehan_5.jpg
    [6] => 'Dashka'_Darren_Sheehan_6.jpg
    [7] => 'Dashka'_Darren_Sheehan_7.jpg
    [8] => 'Dashka'_Darren_Sheehan_8.jpg
    [9] => 'Dashka'_Darren_Sheehan_9.jpg
    [10] => .
    [11] => ..
    [12] => Aaron_Kidney_1.jpg
    [13] => Aaron_Kidney_10.jpg
    [14] => Aaron_Kidney_11.jpg
    [15] => Aaron_Kidney_12.jpg
    [16] => Aaron_Kidney_13.jpg
    [17] => Aaron_Kidney_14.jpg
    [18] => Aaron_Kidney_15.jpg
    [19] => Aaron_Kidney_16.jpg
    [20] => Aaron_Kidney_17.jpg
    [21] => Aaron_Kidney_18.jpg

and i also have another array called $_names

Array
(
    [0] => 'Dashka'_Darren_Sheehan
    [1] => Beefit_Gyms
    [2] => Aaron_Kidney
    [3] => Dean_Mitchell
    [4] => Colin_O_Neill
    [5] => Keith_McManus
)

if a name in array $_names exists in the $imageArray i want to insert the images for that person into one column of a table like this

<tr>
<?php foreach ($names as $name): ?><th><?php htmlout($name); ?></th><?php endforeach; ?>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="../images/'Dashka'_Darren_Sheehan_1.jpg" width="204"/></td>
    <td><img src="../images/Aaron_Kidney_1.jpg" width="204"/></td>
    <td>row 1, cell 1</td>
    <td>row 1, cell 2</td>
    <td>row 1, cell 1</td>
    <td>row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="../images/'Dashka'_Darren_Sheehan_2.jpg" width="204"/></td>
    <td><img src="../images/Aaron_Kidney_2.jpg" width="204"/></td>
    <td>row 1, cell 1</td>
    <td>row 1, cell 2</td>
    <td>row 1, cell 1</td>
    <td>row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>

can anyone help me write the logic for this??
I cant figure it out...

So I have this killer script I wrote for article management across multiple sites. I am trying to make a drip feed so you can set up a bunch of articles for one site to drip out over x amount of days. Then you could do that for your next site etc... so you do not need to manage all of your 20 blogs/sites a day.

So, I am thinking I have all these variables in a table:

Code: [Select]
Table 1

Article - URL for article - Title - Keywords - Anchor Text - URL link - Category - Site to post to ID
Code: [Select]
Table 2...

URL - Date Posted - Drip Feed (maybe include category here because in table 1 it will repeat category for every row of the same url)
Then I make a script that runs on a cron job every 2-4 hrs...

Not sure the best way to make the script and also not sure the best way to post this info to different sites... ideally id like to be able to post to joomla, wordpress, blogspots, etc... basically many different kinds of sites.

Any suggestions would be appreciated... no need for you to write the code I can do that, just need a plan.

I make a query where I fetch som individuals and group them by class and count the rows.

I make a for statement and in that statement I make a new query where I fetch all individuals in each class and sort them by id.

Each member in each class should be printed into a file, limited by 15, if there is more than 15 the rest should be printed to the next file.

My logic is a little confusing to me...

Code: [Select]
$queryorder = "SELECT *
  FROM mytable
 
  GROUP BY class ORDER BY cat_order";
count $rows1...



for ($ii = 0; $ii < $rows1; $ii++)

{
$query = "SELECT *
FROM mytable
WHERE class  = '". $rows1[$ii]['class'] . "'
ORDER BY id";
$rows2

$count = 1;
$sid_nr = 1;
$list_nr = 1;

for ($iii = 0; $iii < $rows2; $iii++)

{
if($count == 1)
{
createnewfile


$ring = $rows2[$iii]['ring'];
}

for($count_i = 1; $count_i < 16; $count_i++):

if($rows2[$iii]['C'] == 1){$rows2[$iii]['C'] = 'C';}else{$rows2[$iii]['C'] = '';}
if($rows2[$iii]['S'] == 1){$rows2[$iii]['S'] = 'S';}else{$rows2[$iii]['S'] = '';}

if($count_i == $count)
{
variabel1='VAR1'.$count_i, $rows2[$iii]['nr']);
variabel2='CS'.$count_i, $rows2[$iii]['C'] . $rows2[$iii]['S']);
variabel3='NAME'.$count_i, $rows2[$iii]['id_nr'] . ' ' . $rows2[$iii]['name']);
}

endfor;

$count++;

if($count == 15)
{
$filename = somefilename;
$myFile = $resultiddir.DS.$filename;
closefile

$count = 1;
$sid_nr++;

}

if($count == $rows2
{
$filename = somefilename;
$myFile = $resultiddir.DS.$filename;
closefile

$count = 1;
$sid_nr = 1;


}
}
}
Some of it is pseudocode but the idea is the important thing:)

Hey guys, I have a question that you can hopefully help me with, I'm writing a simple forum, and I'm wondering how I would go by handling a thread that has been 'stuck' so that it isn't moved when more threads are made. I could use some a push in the right direction thanks.

Hey All, I'm creating a function in javascript and I'm having a bit of trouble trying to figure out the logic. Here is the breakdown. I have a json database that will output some text into the main index.html file. This text is broken up into different entries each tagged with different categories. On the index.html the user clicks on the categories they want and then click on either one of two buttons.   The first button will show the text items that have any of the categories, so if they select categories 1 and 3, the function will show any of the text items with those categories. (This part works)     The second button i want to show text that only have all the selected categories. So if they selected category one and three, then only items with one AND three will show It could have other categories tagged, but it has to have the selected tags in the same item. I'm just trying to figure out how to isolate just those items.   Here is the code for the first button. I'm not a solid coder and most of this has been trial and error after error. I just need to figure out something similar for the second button.   function loadInfoOr() {
$.getJSON('data.json', function(data) {
var output = '<ul class="searchresults">';
$.each(data, function(key, val) {
if ((val.env.search(env) != -1) ||
(val.pri.search(pri) != -1) ||
(val.per.search(per) != -1) ||
(val.ind.search(ind) != -1) ||
(val.com.search(com) != -1) ||
(val.res.search(res) != -1) ||
(val.myr.search(myr) != -1) ||
(val.saf.search(saf) != -1) ||
(val.ewa.search(ewa) != -1)) {
output += '<li class="itemWrapper">';
output += '<h2>'+ val.Header; 
if ((val.env.search("ENV") != -1)) {
output += '<span class="tag env">ENV</span>';
}
if ((val.pri.search("PRI") != -1)) {
output += '<span class="tag pri">PRI</span>';
}
if ((val.per.search("PER") != -1)) {
output += '<span class="tag per">PER</span>';
}
if ((val.com.search("COM") != -1)) {
output += '<span class="tag ind">IND</span>';
}
if ((val.ind.search("IND") != -1)) {
output += '<span class="tag com">COM</span>';
}
if ((val.res.search("RES") != -1)) {
output += '<span class="tag res">RES</span>';
}
if ((val.saf.search("MYR") != -1)) {
output += '<span class="tag myr">MYR</span>'; 
}
if ((val.myr.search("SAF") != -1)) {
output += '<span class="tag saf">SAF</span>';
}
if ((val.ewa.search("EWA") != -1)) {
output += '<span class="tag ewa">EWA</span>';
}
output += '</h2>';
output += '<p>'+ val.statement +'</p>';
output += '</li>';
}
});
output += '</ul>';
$('#textArea').html(output);
});
};

Hi All,
I'm trying to understand the logic behind this bit of code I found. I (think I) get that it takes an argument which in this case is a number, an checks to see if the array isset, then uses a while loop to loop through the possible values taking each value and placing it into another function which performs some task. What I'm really confused about is how the code is using unset, If I'm correct it's unsetting the incremented value which is the value that should be used in the next iteration, now I know this is not the case, but I don't understand why this is working. I have included the code in the topic and I also wrote a small piece of code to mirror this so I could play around with it in hopes of understanding the logic but it gives me a syntax error in my IDE when I try to unset the incremented value. I know this is probably something really stupid so be kind.


<?php

define("NUM_0", 0);
define("NUM_1", 1);
define("NUM_2", 2);
define("NUM_3", 3);
define("NUM_4", 4);

function function_1($position) {
  static $positions = array(NUM_0,
 NUM_1,
 NUM_2,
 NUM_3,
 NUM_4,),
  $index = 0;
  if (isset($positions[$index])) {
    while ($position >= $index) {
      $current_position = $positions[$index];
      unset($positions[$index++]);
      function_2($current_position);
    }
  }
}

function function_2($position) {

  switch ($position) {
    case 0:
      echo '$position equals 0 <br />';
      break;
    case 1:
      echo '$position equals 1 <br />';
      break;
    case 2:
      echo '$position equals 2 <br />';
      break;
    case 3:
      echo '$position equals 3 <br />';
      break;
    case 4:
      echo '$position equals 4 <br />';
      break;
  }
}

function_1(NUM_4);

[b]
[u]output![/u]

$position equals 0
$position equals 1
$position equals 2
$position equals 3
$position equals 4 
[/b]

function test() {
  static $var_1;
  $var_1 = 10;
  if (isset($var_1)) {
    while ($var_1 >= 0) {
      $var_2 = $var_1;
      unset ($var_1++);   // syntax error on this line.
      echo $var_2;
    }
  }
}

test();
?>

write the algorithm to draw a sphere, the function should have parameters
   1. diameter (how many line)
   2. character (use which character to draw)
   
   eg, draw_sphere(10, '8') will produce:
   
                    88888
                 8888888888888   
               8888888888888888888
              888888888888888888888
                      88888888888888888888888
                88888888888888888888888
              888888888888888888888
               8888888888888888888
                 8888888888888   
                    88888
            
   the above is a sphere of 10 lines, which is drawn using the character "8"


i cant figure out how to do it, thanks in advanved!

I'm just trying to see if the order of my logic is correct or if there's something I can do differently.  I'm also curious to know at what point I should get the 2 passwords that exists in the database for the user. These are two different passwords.

Code: [Select]

        $user_id = $this->users->get_user_id_by_username($this->input->post('username'));
       
        if ($user_id !== 0)
        {

Okay, so I'm pretty new to jQuery but I am pretty experienced with PHP.  I am about to begin coding a script written mostly in jQuery.  It will use AJAX to verify that an article tag a user provides exists in a database.  When a user goes to write an article on my website, my form will ask them to add keyword tags which will be used in searches.  Basically only admins will be allowed to create new tags, so this is why I check the tags first.  And also to prevent duplicates and similar tag entries in the database.   The form will have a single input that the user will use to search for a tag.  Once the user hits the enter key, it will search the database for tags that already exist.  Once the ajax is complete, a list of related tags will pop up and the user will be able to select their desired tag by either clicking the tag link in the list or by pressing enter.   This is a very crude demonstration of what my idea is.  

Hi Guys,

I'm sure my logic is off somewhere in my code, basicaly i resize an uploaded image and move to it's location depending on whether it came from the US or UK site:

Resize Function:


function resize_image($uploadDirectory, $newFileName, $us = false)
{
    $original_image   = $uploadDirectory;
    $ext              = substr($original_image, strrpos($original_image, '.') + 1);
    $canvas_width     = 65;
    $canvas_height    = 65;
    $canvas           = imagecreatetruecolor($canvas_width, $canvas_height);
    $white_background = imagecolorallocate($canvas, 255, 255, 255);
    
    imagefill($canvas, 0, 0, $white_background);
    list($image_width, $image_height) = getimagesize($uploadDirectory);
    
    $ratio = $image_width / $image_height;
    if ($ratio > 1) {
        $new_image_width  = 65;
        $new_image_height = 65 / $ratio;
    } //$ratio > 1
    else {

    imagecopyresampled($canvas, $original_image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_image_width, $new_image_height, $image_width, $image_height);
    
    $new_thumbnail_name = "thumb-$newFileName";
    
    if ($ext == "jpg") {
    
    if ($us)

When i change the $us flag the US site works and the UK one doesn't, the full size image always gets uploaded fine it appears to be my logic in the resize function (i think )

a fresh pair of eyes would be great

thanks guys

Hey guys,   I am not really asking for pure php code, as I know alot of if's and switches could do this, but I am thinking of a easier method, of using for each or something to make it alot more better (performance wise) here it goes.



I have 70 images, 1.png to 70.png, they are STARS.  People on my forum software can upgrade there account via paypal to become a "Site Donor"

I use the paypal's IPN to update the "amount" field value in mysql for each member.  So if a user donates 10$, and then he donates 10$ tomorrow, the "amount" field will have a total of "20$" in it.

Now I need to show a page where it list's all 1-70.png STARS, and it will have a radio button next to each star for them to select (Based on the amount they donate) So if a person has only dated 5$ dollars, they will have access to starts 1 through 10.png.  If a person donated 20$ they will have access to 1-20.png Stars to chose from, (and so on)

What would be the easiest way to check the input so people can't tamper with my form value to get a let's say 50.png star when they only donated like 10 dollars?

Should I use just a simple  switch function with 70 Cases? Or is there a easier method? and how would I go about storing a value in a field when they make a payment so then I can just simply check that field with the users input so they can't tamper the data and try to get a higher star?
