PHP - Need Help With My Uncanny Site Config Update Script
Hey all. I've created a script that updates a website's config in a database. The script itself works fine but I feel it is rather uncanny. Where can I look to find better methods of achieving what I'm trying to accomplish?
Here's my script that updates my table with columns id, showlogin, colorscheme, blogmenu, aboutus. I explain the script below it. if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { // id will always be 1 and only query if only submit was pressed $sql = "UPDATE config SET id=1"; // showlogin values are 1 for show login form and 2 for don't if(!empty($_POST['showlogin'])) { $showlogin = $_POST['showlogin']; $sql .= ", showlogin='$showlogin'"; } if(!empty($_POST['colorscheme'])) { $colorscheme = $_POST['colorscheme']; $sql .= ", colorscheme='$colorscheme'"; } if(!empty($_POST['blogmenu'])) { $blogmenu = $_POST['blogmenu']; $sql .= ", blogmenu='$blogmenu'"; } else { $sql .= ", blogmenu=2"; } if(!empty($_POST['aboutus'])) { $aboutus = $_POST['aboutus']; $sql .= ", aboutus='$aboutus'"; } else { $sql .= ", aboutus=2"; } mysql_query($sql, $connect) or die (mysql_error()); } It works like this. I have a form with a few selects and checkboxes. The selects are the colorscheme and showlogin. The checkboxes are blogmenu and about us, both defaulting to the number 2 if they are not checked. 1 means show this item on the live site and 2 means do not show. This is pulled out of the database on page loads. So, I hope I was clear as my mind is spaghetti right now. Cheers! Similar TutorialsI have a very simple password protection set-up on a page as a temporary measure until I can set something better up. The person I set it up for wants to be able change the Username and Password occasionally but wants me to set up a simple form which will overwrite the data in the config file (connection.php) instead of having to open the file himself (don't ask!). I have has a read round to see if there is any obvious and simple solutions but none seem as simple as I had hoped. I intend to work on a system via MySQL where there can be multiple users and passwords but as time is tight at the moment I just want to get something basic and working. The nature of the 'hidden' content is not sensitive (it is just a football clubs live commentary stream that they are hoping to get people to subscribe to) so there are no issues at this moment with security. All he needs to do is choose a new Username and Password every game and email it to the subscribers. The data that he wants to update in connection.php, via a form, is Code: [Select] $username = "user"; $password = "pass"; The code in the actual page with the log-in is Code: [Select] <?php require_once('connection.php'); if ($_POST['txtUsername'] != $username || $_POST['txtPassword'] != $password) { ?> <h1 style="color: #FFF">Login</h1> <form name="form" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"> <p class="white_text"><label for="txtUsername">Username:</span></label> <br /> <input type="text" title="Enter your Username" name="txtUsername" /></p> <p class="white_text"><label for="txtpassword">Password:</label> <br /> <input type="password" title="Enter your password" name="txtPassword" /></p> <p><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login" /></p> </form> <?php } else { ?> CONTENT TO BE SHOWN................Is there a simple way of creating a form just to update those two bits in the connection.php or will I have to bite the bullet and set it up via MySQL from the off? Thanks in advance Steve Hello, Ive got a fairly successful website and im looking at cloning it, I want to set up a cron to check the main site if there are any new posts and if there are insert it into the DB. Ive got them on 2 separate hosts so i don't want to just read from the DB increase the main site goes down and brings the whole 2nd site down. What would be the easiest way to do it? Not looking for people to give code, Just their suggestions. Cheers Good morning. I am looking fo some help with an update script to update all rows in a table. This is what I have for a form and all looks well. form.php <?php // run the query and put the results in an array variable called $result $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY 'id', 'title', 'text', 'number'"); print "<form method='post' action='update.php'> <table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='1' cellpadding='1'><tr> <td align='center'><strong>ID</strong></td> <td align='center'><strong>Title</strong></td> <td align='center'><strong>text</strong></td> <td align='center'><strong>Number</strong></td> </tr>\n"; // start a loop to print all of the courses with their book information // the mysql_fetch_array function puts each record into an array. each time it is called, it moves the array counter up until there are no more records left while ($Update = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { // start displaying the info; the most important part is to make the name an array (notice bookinfo[$i]) print "<td align='center'><p>{$Update['id']}</p></td>\n"; print "<td align='center'><input type='text' name='title' value='{$Update['title']}' /></td>"; print "<td align='center'><input type='text' size='40' name='text' value='{$Update['text']}' /></td>\n"; print "<td align='center'><input type='text' size='40' name='number' value='{$Update['number']}' /></td>\n"; print "</tr>\n"; // add 1 to the count, close the loop, close the form, and the mysql connection } print "<tr> <td colspan='4' align='center'><input type='submit' value='submit' />"; print "</td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </form> </table>"; print "</tr>\n"; ?><br /><br /> My question is. How do I update this info into the database with the proper info. ie. Update.php? Hi i have this upload script which works fine it uploads image to a specified folder and sends the the details to the database. but now i am trying to instead make a modify script which is Update set so i tried to change insert to update but didnt work can someone help me out please this my insert image script which works fine but want to change to modify instead Code: [Select] <?php mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error()) ; mysql_select_db("upload") or die(mysql_error()) ; // my file the name of the input area on the form type is the extension of the file //echo $_FILES["myfile"]["type"]; //myfile is the name of the input area on the form $name = $_FILES["image"] ["name"]; // name of the file $type = $_FILES["image"]["type"]; //type of the file $size = $_FILES["image"]["size"]; //the size of the file $temp = $_FILES["image"]["tmp_name"];//temporary file location when click upload it temporary stores on the computer and gives it a temporary name $error =array(); // this an empty array where you can then call on all of the error messages $allowed_exts = array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'gif'); // array with the following extension name values $image_type = array('image/jpg', 'image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/gif'); // array with the following image type values $location = 'images/'; //location of the file or directory where the file will be stored $appendic_name = "news".$name;//this append the word [news] before the name so the image would be news[nameofimage].gif // substr counts the number of carachters and then you the specify how how many you letters you want to cut off from the beginning of the word example drivers.jpg it would cut off dri, and would display vers.jpg //echo $extension = substr($name, 3); //using both substr and strpos, strpos it will delete anything before the dot in this case it finds the dot on the $name file deletes and + 1 says read after the last letter you delete because you want to display the letters after the dot. if remove the +1 it will display .gif which what we want is just gif $extension = strtolower(substr($name, strpos ($name, '.') +1));//strlower turn the extension non capital in case extension is capital example JPG will strtolower will make jpg // another way of doing is with explode // $image_ext strtolower(end(explode('.',$name))); will explode from where you want in this case from the dot adn end will display from the end after the explode $myfile = $_POST["myfile"]; if (isset($image)) // if you choose a file name do the if bellow { // if extension is not equal to any of the variables in the array $allowed_exts error appears if(in_array($extension, $allowed_exts) === false ) { $error[] = 'Extension not allowed! gif, jpg, jpeg, png only<br />'; // if no errror read next if line } // if file type is not equal to any of the variables in array $image_type error appears if(in_array($type, $image_type) === false) { $error[] = 'Type of file not allowed! only images allowed<br />'; } // if file bigger than the number bellow error message if($size > 2097152) { $error[] = 'File size must be under 2MB!'; } // check if folder exist in the server if(!file_exists ($location)) { $error[] = 'No directory ' . $location.

Hi
i've got a script to migrate some tables.
This is most of it.. just missing the db connection (not needed here)

Users will be able to download the script and run it on there website. The latest version will be checked by checking my website and compared with the version of the user's script to see if its out of date. I can't get it to work correctly.

Cheers Hello, I am trying to pick up php again and just exercising my skills. So I have it so that it fills my form with the values of what I want to edit, and when I click the edit button, it doesn't edit any of the information. When I echo out $result, I get a MYSQL query string that has the same values as the table, so its not getting the new values that are edited. <?php @mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '') or die("Could not connect to Mysql Server. " . mysql_error()); @mysql_select_db('tutorials') or die("Could not connect to Database. " . mysql_error()); if(isset($_GET['edit'])) { $id = $_GET['edit']; $query = "SELECT `username`, `password` FROM `users` WHERE `id` = '$id'"; $result = mysql_query($query); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); $name = $row['username']; $password = $row['password']; } if(isset($_POST['edit'])) { $id = $_GET['edit']; $query = "UPDATE `users` SET `username` = '$name', `password` = '$password' WHERE `id` = '$id'"; $result = mysql_query($query); echo $query; if(!$result) { echo mysql_error(); }else{ echo 'updated post'; } } ?> <form method="POST" action="" > <input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $name; ?>" /> First name <br /> <input type="text" name="password" value="<?php echo $password; ?>" /> Last name <br /> <input type="submit" name="edit" value="edit" /> </form> I believe it has something to do with the values of $name and $password in the form conflicting with the first if isset and the second if isset. Thanks for any help possible I have the following code for a very simple registration form handler -
//require('../../config/config.php'); require('reg_functions.php'); //assign clean form variables $firstname = clean_names($_POST['firstname']); $lastname = clean_names($_POST['lastname']); $username = clean_names($_POST['username']); $email = clean_email($_POST['email']); $email2 = clean_email($_POST['email2']); $password = clean_password($_POST['password']); $password2 = clean_password($_POST['password2']); $date = date("Y-m-d"); if(isset($_POST['register_button'])) { //validate & confirm emails match if($email == $email2) { if(filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { $email = filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL); // I THINK I COULD DEF MAKE THIS EMAIL CHECK CLEANER - WORK ON THAT LATER //check if email exists in system already $email_check = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT email FROM users WHERE email='$email'"); //number of rows returned with the email (this should be 0 to proceed) $number_rows = mysqli_num_rows($email_check); if($number_rows > 0) { echo "Email already in use <br>"; } else { echo "email is correct <br>"; } } else { echo "Invalid email format <br>"; } } else { echo "Emails don't match <br>"; } echo "First Name: " . $firstname . "<br>"; echo "Last Name: " . $lastname . "<br>"; echo "Username: " . $username . "<br>"; echo "Number of Rows: " . $number_rows . "<br>"; } the code that starts with the mysqli_query() function to check for matching emails is where it fails (white screen). I figured it may be because the $conn variable wasn't being associated with the $conn variable in the config.php file. So I added the require config.php at the top. Now it only works if both are commented out. So in reality this could be 2 issues and I struggled with how not to ask too many questions in one post though they may be the same issue. I'm really new to php. Can someone explain the mechanics of whats going on (or not going on). to recap, this is the code that caused the white screen initially - // I THINK I COULD DEF MAKE THIS EMAIL CHECK CLEANER - WORK ON THAT LATER //check if email exists in system already $email_check = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT email FROM users WHERE email='$email'"); //number of rows returned with the email (this should be 0 to proceed) $number_rows = mysqli_num_rows($email_check); if($number_rows > 0) { echo "Email already in use <br>"; } else { echo "email is correct <br>"; } and I realized it had no association to the $conn variable in the config.php file so I added the require config.php line at the top. This above code is obviously still not working and if I comment it out, the require config.php line still causes a white screen. This is my config file - ob_start(); session_start(); $timezone = date_default_timezone_set("America/xxxxxxxx"); $db_host = "localhost"; $db_user = "root"; $db_pass = ""; $db_name = "qcic"; $conn = mysqli_connect( $db_host, $db_user, $db_pass, $db_name ); if( $conn->connect_errno) { printf( "Connect Failed: %s\n", $conn->connect_error); exit(); } else { echo "Connected to database"; } ob_end_flush(); and I get the "Connected to database" echo so I have no idea what the problem is. Anyone with some time and more experience that can explain some of these things? thanks I have a php script that I've been running that seems to have been working but now I'm wondering if some of my logic is potentially off. I select records from a db table within a date range which I put into an array called ```$validCount``` If that array is not empty, that means I have valid records to update with my values, and if it's empty I just insert. The trick with the insert is that if the ```STORES``` is less than the ```Quantity``` then it only inserts as many as the ```STORES``` otherwise it inserts as many as ```Quantity```. So if a record being inserted with had Stores: 14 Quantity:12
Then it would only insert 12 records but if it had It would only insert 1 record. In short, for each customer I should only ever have as many valid records (within a valid date range) as they have stores. If they have 20 stores, I can have 1 or 2 records but should never have 30. It seems like updating works fine but I'm not sure if it's updating the proper records, though it seems like in some instances it's just inserting too many and not accounting for past updated records. This is the logic I have been working with:
if(!empty($validCount)){ for($i=0; $i<$row2['QUANTITY']; $i++){ try{ $updateRslt = $update->execute($updateParams); }catch(PDOException $ex){ $out[] = $failedUpdate; } } }else{ if($row2["QUANTITY"] >= $row2["STORES"]){ for($i=0; $i<$row2["STORES"]; $i++){ try{ $insertRslt = $insert->execute($insertParams); }catch(PDOException $ex){ $out[] = $failedInsertStore; } } }elseif($row2["QUANTITY"] < $row2["STORES"]){ for($i=0; $i<$row2["QUANTITY"]; $i++){ try{ $insertRslt = $insert->execute($insertParams); }catch(PDOException $ex){ $out[] = $failedInsertQuantity; } } } }
Let's say customer 123 bought 4 of product A and they have 10 locations
customerNumber | product | category | startDate | expireDate | stores Because they purchased less than their store count, I insert 4 records. Now if my ```$validCheck``` query selects all 4 of those records (since they fall in a valid date range) and my loop sees that the array isn't empty, it knows it needs to update those or insert. Let's say they bought 15 this time. Then I would need to insert 6 records, and then update the expiration date of the other 9 records.
customerNumber | product | category | startDate | expireDate | stores There can only ever be a maximum of 10 (store count) records for that customer and product within the valid date range. As soon as the row count for that customer/product reaches the equivalent of stores, it needs to now go through and update equal to the quantity so now I'm running this but it's not running and no errors, but it just returns back to the command line $total = $row2['QUANTITY'] + $validCheck; if ($total < $row2['STORES']) { $insert_count = $row2['QUANTITY']; $update_count = 0; } else { $insert_count = $row2['STORES'] - $validCheck; // insert enough to fill all stores $update_count = ($total - $insert_count); // update remainder } for($i=0; $i<$row2['QUANTITY']; $i++){ try{ $updateRslt = $update->execute($updateParams); }catch(PDOException $ex){ $failedUpdate = "UPDATE_FAILED"; print_r($failedUpdate); $out[] = $failedUpdate; } } for($i=0; $i<$insert_count; $i++){ try{ $insertRslt = $insert->execute($insertParams); }catch(PDOException $ex){ $failedInsertStore = "INSERT_STORE_FAILED!!!: " . $ex->getMessage(); print_r($failedInsertStore); $out[] = $failedInsertStore; } }```
