PHP - Form Create New Page

Hi, I'm trying to make a gallery, and it more or less works. But I don't like having to load so many images for the user to view.   What happens is I have a very basic method of loading the images into the index file using require.

<?php
foreach (glob("*.jpg") as $filename) {
    echo "<div class='itemContainer'><img src='" . $filename . "' class='item' id='" . $filename . "' /></div>";
}
?>

Pretty simple. but it just loads everything in the directory. What I'd like to do is make it so 30 images load, and then it creates a new "div container" and loads the next 30 in. As well as a page counter, and a next and previous button.   I'm not too sure how to control the flow of information from PHP to the index file when using require. Or if this is even the right way of doing it.   My thoughts are sorta like this

$imageCounter = 0;
$newPageStandard = 30;
foreach($imageDir as $image){

// echo image;
$imageCounter++

if($imageCounter == $newPageStandard){

$newPageStandard += $newPageStandard; // increase standard for next page if there are enough images

//create new image container(div)

//somehow re-direct the echo into this new image container


}
// continue echoing images 
}

Something Along those lines. Is this at all on the right path, or should I be grabbing all the images, and stuffing them into an multidimensional array and breaking each array into segments of 30? Or perhaps another completely different method? (yeah I dont have a clue what Im doing atm)

Hi,

Please let me know which softwares are required to create a php page? And which is the best one for professional website creation?

Thanks.

I'm using a popular PHP script for my web site, which uses main_1.htm for the header and footer, and inner_index.htm for the main part of the home page. Also, of course it has index.php.

How can I set up a duplicates of these files to work on and test changes to the home page, before I actually deploy the changes on to my live site's home page?

Thanks

Hi guyz,

I am looking to create a dymanic comment box for my website where already logged in users can comment on webpages.

It is quite a challenge getting to dynamically display only the comments a particular user posted on a web page.

What I mean is I would like to be able to click on a page, see only the comments logged users posted on that page, and then post my own comment on that page. At the moment I created a comment box for my webpages but the issue is my posted comments on one particular page is displaying on all web pages with is comment system..This is the problem and it is very difficult to find helpful material hopefully you guyz can come to the rescue.

Please guys any help or suggestions are more than welcome.

Thanks

This is more of an SEO question. 

I have a site with couple hundred categories within each city. I was wondering what the best approach is to do them?

www.mysite.com/browse/apples?city=new-york

www.mysite.com/browse/new-york?category=apples

Which one is the better way to do it for seo purposes? 

If it's the first method, that would mean I would have to create couple hundred pages for those categories yes?

Whats going on PHPfreaks? So this is what I've been trying to do for the whole weekend and just can't figure it out.

I want to let users create new pages on my site like wiki style but dont want a wiki or drupal or joomla or any of that. I know its possible with:

$text = $_POST['text'];
$file = fopen($text . ".php","x");
fwrite($file,"Welcome to your new page!");

but I'm not sure how to integrate it.

For further clarification here's an example: You come to the site and there is a list of previously made user pages all with their own user generated name. What I want to have is a create new page button that opens a new page allows the user to upload images then submit it to the database and upon refresh of the page their page is now in the list. The create new page resets and is available for another user and on and on.

Any help will be appreciated. I need to get this done it's driving me crazy.

First of all i create the page to copy the buttons as pixels to paste into a design, it's not for a working webpage.

It goes wrong here,
<option value="0">Day</option>
   <?= for(var i=0; i<31; i++){?>
   <option value="<?=i?>"><?=i?></option>
   <?= } ?>
</select>

Hello,

I am a C++ coder who is new to php so please excuse my n00bness.

I have a form which I am then passing into a MySQL database via a php script. I am also using fwrite to try and create a .php site out of the variables entered into the form. Everything is working fine and I have managed to do this with a .html site but when I try to pass php into fwrite it doesn't work.

example code


$newhtml = fopen("backup/$v_uniquename.php", "w");

fwrite($newhtml, '

<html code here>

');

works like a charm but when I use something like (just an example)

$newhtml = fopen("backup/$v_uniquename.php", "w");

fwrite($newhtml, '
   <?php
      while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result_date)){

      $date     = $row['1'];
      $team1    = $row['2'];
      $team2     = $row['3'];
   ?>
');

I get errors and I am assuming it is because I am passing using ' ' within the php code within a fwrite function. Is this correct? and is there a work around way to make a php page using this method or something similar.

I am trying to create a form that will be store in-house. This form needs to have a drop-down of keywords. These keywords will cause a snippet of code (pulled from the selection of the keyword) to be placed into a text document one after another.

Ex.: I click on "Header" in the list and click Insert Code. This causes Code: [Select]
"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">" to be placed into the text document. I then hit click on "Body" and it creates the Code: [Select]
"<body></body" code to appear on the text document below the "Header" code above it.

This is basically a text writer that just uses snippets of code as I click on buttons. Almost like this editor above is doing. Is this possible and is it easy/hard?

Hey all,

I am trying to put a login form on the front pages (index, contact us, about us) of my site. I want the members to put in username and pass, and when they click submit, it takes them to the /members/ area of the site.

Right now this is how I have the form.

Code: [Select]
<form method="POST" action="login.php">
<input type="text" name="username">
<input type="password" name="password">
<input type="submit" value="Login">
</form>
I have this, but the members area consist of several pages and not just on location.

Code: [Select]
if ($_SESSION['authorized'] != true)
{
    header("Location: login_form.php");
    exit;
}
Finally, I am going to create a login.php page that has this in it.

Code: [Select]
$select_user =
mysql_query('select * from users where username = "' .
$_POST['username'] . '" and password = "' .
md5($_POST['password'] . '"'));

if (mysql_num_rows($select_user) != 0)
{
    session_start();
    session_register('authorized');
    $_SESSION['authorized'] = true;

    header("Location: protected_content.php");
    exit;
}
else
{
    header("Location: login_form.php");
    exit;
}


So My questions are, How can I make it so they can access the entire /members/ area (directory)

and what would I put in the database 'members' when I create it. All members are going to use the same username and pass. So there is only need for 1 query for username and 1 for password.

I appreciate anyone help in advance.

Hello guy , how do I write PHP page that have table to list all the data I entered to my system.    

So completely new here.

 

I've created a database that has 4 fields full_name, company, email and serial_no with 2 sample records.

 

I would like to create a form with those fields, so the data I enter into the form when I press submit it goes into the database.

Config File:

<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'username', 'pass', 'database_name');
    if($mysqli->connect_error)
        {
        echo $mysqli->connect_error;
        }
    ?>

 

Index.php

<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Add Record Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="insert.php" method="post">
    <p>
        <label for="Fullname">Fullname:</label>
        <input type="text" name="full_name" id="Fullname">
    </p>
	<p>
        <label for="Company">Company:</label>
        <input type="text" name="Company" id="Company">
    </p>
	<p>
        <label for="emailAddress">Email Address:</label>
        <input type="text" name="email" id="emailAddress">
    </p>
    <p>
        <label for="Serial">Serial:</label>
        <input type="text" name="Serial" id="Serial">
    </p>
    
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

 

Insert.php

<?php
/* Attempt MySQL server connection. Assuming you are running MySQL
server with default setting (user 'root' with no password) */
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "username", "pass", "database_name");
 
// Check connection
if($link === false){
    die("ERROR: Could not connect. " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
 
// Escape user inputs for security
$full_name = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_REQUEST['full_name']);
$company = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_REQUEST['company']);
$email = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_REQUEST['email']);
$serial_no = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_REQUEST['serial_no']);
 
// Attempt insert query execution
$sql = "INSERT INTO licjwe(full_name, company, email, serial_no) VALUES ('$full_name', '$company', '$email', '$serial_no')";
if(mysqli_query($link, $sql)){
    echo "Records added successfully.";
} else{
    echo "ERROR: Could not able to execute $sql. " . mysqli_error($link);
}
 
// Close connection
mysqli_close($link);
?>

 

This is the error I am getting:

ERROR: Could not able to execute INSERT INTO database_name(full_name, company, email, serial_no) VALUES ('test', '', 'email@home.com', ''). Table 'table_name' doesn't exist

Not sure what I am doing.

 

Basically I want to have the form so I can enter the data, once its been entered, it lets me know its been successfully updated, then loads the page again.

 

Please help. Where have I gone wrong?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi, I have a page with a long list of names (c1000) each with an id.

On that page I would like to have a form into which i put the id number, when the form is submitted it will take me to the anchor point for that id. The question I have is, how, when i press submit and reload the page, how can I then have that form input as a anchor in the url that will then take me to the place I want to go on the list when the page loads.

I can do it manually no problem by adding the hash tag and id to the url myselft it takes me there but It's a pain to do this every time. I would like to use a form.

Is this possible? any help appreciated.

Thanks

Hey everyone,

I am looking to create an advanced contact form but need someone to point me in the right direction.

I need to create a customer service form and would like it to contain the usual fields e.g. Name, Email etc. but also want to include a drop down field which has a couple of options e.g. Sales Enquiry, Order Status etc.

Once one of those options has been selected e.g. Order Status, I then want a further section of the form to appear where the user can input data such as their order number, order date etc.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to achieve this or know of any demos/scripts which they think might help.

I am currently looking to have two pages, one with a search form (textbox and button) and output the results (from database table) based on the strings input to another page.

how do i achieve this? i just want something very simple nothing too complex and advanced please
