PHP - Order Of Statements - Workaround Please
I know this has been addressed in tutorials and forums, but I'm not sure how to search for it (i.e. what to type into google).
I have a header.php that I include in all files. It has a section like the following: if($showHello) { echo "Hello"; } I would like to control to header in the body of the other pages: $showHello = true; From what I can tell it is a problem with the order in which the page is processed: $showHello = true; if($showHello) { echo "Hello"; } // works whereas: if($showHello) { echo "Hello"; } $showHello = true; // does not work The reason for this makes sense, but my question is... how do I make the second scenario work? Is there a structure within PHP that I can use? Similar TutorialsThe servers at my uni blocked the fwrite & fputs functions. Is there another way to write to a file using php? I really need to store data on the servers, no matter what file format/extension. Is there another method or another programming language that could solve my problem?
Hi everyone. I'm very new into self learning programming. Presently I'm trying to develop a simple basic Robot that would only Place a Market Order every seconds and it will cancel the Order every followed seconds. Using the following library: It would place Trade Order at a ( Price = ex.com api * Binance api Aggregate Trades Price) I have already wrote the api to call for xe.com exchange rate with php <?php $auth = base64_encode("username:password"); $context = stream_context_create([ "http" => [ "header" => "Authorization: Basic $auth" ] ]); $homepage = file_get_contents("https://xecdapi.xe.com/v1/convert_from?to=NGN&amount=1.195", false, $context ); $json = json_decode($homepage, TRUE); foreach ($json as $k=>$to){ echo $k; // etc }; ?> And also for the Binance Aggregate Price in JavaScript
<script> var burl = "https://api3.binance.com"; var query = '/api/v3/aggTrades'; query += '?symbol=BTCUSDT'; var url = burl + query; var ourRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); ourRequest.open('GET',url,true); ourRequest.onload = function(){ console.log(ourRequest.responseText); } ourRequest.send(); </script>
My problem is how to handle these two api responds and also the functions to use them to place a trade and cancel it. sure, I know how to output a picture with a php script. the problem is, the host I use, they won't let me edit the php.ini file to look through png files for PHP scripts before outputting. Of course, it is bad practice anyways... Is there any way to make it easy for a user to download the image with a .png extension instead of .php. (I know this is done automatically in windows 7, like: image.php.png because it reads the content type). Any good ideas? =) I've got. Hello, I am learning PDO SQL statements, I have mananged to connect using PDO: Code: [Select] try { $this->link = $dbh = new PDO('mysql:host='.$this->dbhost.';dbname='.$this->dbname.'', $this->dbuser, $this->dbpass); } catch (PDOException $e) { echo 'Connection failed: ' . $e->getMessage(); } I am not getting any error, so I guess that is a good start. I then tried the PDO SQL statement out. My old mySQL query is commented out in the Code: [Select] if (isset($_SESSION['id']) && isset($_SESSION['password'])) { $_SESSION['id'] = ( isset( $_SESSION['id'] ) ) ? $_SESSION['id'] : FALSE; $_SESSION['password'] = ( isset( $_SESSION['password'] ) ) ? $_SESSION['password'] : FALSE; //$logged = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `db_members` WHERE `id`='".$_SESSION['id']."' AND `password` = '".$_SESSION['password']."'"); //$logged = mysql_fetch_array( $logged ); // the new pdo statement $ff = $dbh->prepare('SELECT * FROM db_members WHERE id = '.$_SESSION['id'].' AND password = '.$_SESSION['password'].''); $ff->execute(); $logged = $ff->fetchAll(); echo $logged['username']; } I am trying to assign the session to logged variable. So all I am asking is go into db_members and check the id and password that is the same as session id and password and collect the rows data such as username. My login script and everything works perfectly, even session id and password is valid when echo'd but I cannot assign it to the logged variable like my old sql statements. Code: [Select] $logged = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `db_members` WHERE `id`='".$_SESSION['id']."' AND `password` = '".$_SESSION['password']."'"); $logged = mysql_fetch_array( $logged ); I used other PDO statements and it works perfectly but I just don't understand why this is not working.... can I please get some help if you have any solution to this? How to write 2 "if" statements together? if($userResult==$myResult) and ($userResult<0) { Hey guys, is there any way to have a LIKE condition on an IF statement? Something like: Code: [Select] if $GET_['WTV'] LIKE %LOVE% { $category=romance Any clues? Thanks in advance. Hey Guys, I am creating an array and I have a need to put a if statement inside it. Is this even possible? Here is where I am at so far, its just not working. function load_permissions($gid) { $data = array(); $this->db->select('`groups`.`name` AS `permission_name`, `permissions`.``'); $query = $this->db->get('`groups`,`permissions`'); if ($query->num_rows() > 0){ foreach ($query->result_array() as $row){ $data[] = array( "name" => $row['permission_name'], "read" => if($row['level'] >= 1) { img("img/true.gif") } else { img("img/false.gif") }, ); } } $query->free_result(); return $data; Thanks, Peter The below is constantly loading the password page no matter what is enter in the password input on the form (on another page). I have checked the $login variable by echoing it and it is carrying the value from the field. <?php $off="yes"; $login=$_POST['login']; if($off=="yes" && (!isset($_SESSION['login']) || $_SESSION['login']!="pass")){ if($login=="" || $_SESSION['login']!="pass"){ header('Location: ./index2.html'); exit(); } elseif(!isset($_SESSION['login'])){ session_start(); $_SESSION['login']=$login; header('Location: ./index.php'); exit(); } } elseif($off=="no" || $_SESSION['login']=="pass"){ content goes here. } ?> Anything wrong with this because I got a parse error ONLY after adding to create this. <?php $visible = array('Yes', 'No'); foreach($visible as $visible): $visible2 = array('yes', 'no'); foreach($visible2 as $visible2): ?> Hi Guys, Newbie trying to understand PHP conditionals. In the below Code: [Select] [[*id]] is a global variable which equates to my current page id so it could have the value of 1 for example. I tested it using echo and the correct values pass to it in the cms I'm using. What I cant achieve is for the conditionals below to work correctly so perhaps you can see a syntax error or show me away of doing the same using an array or something perhaps? THANKS Code: [Select] <?php $id='[[*id]]' if ($id=="1" || $id=="2") echo "we are in 1 or 2"; elseif ($id=="3" || $id=="4") echo "we are in 3 or 4"; else echo "not in 1 to 4"; ?> I am trying to write an if statement that checks to make sure the information put in the text box is an imbedded file. Does anyone know how to do that? Todays date is between the criteria in if else, but it is not catching it. Code: [Select] <?PHP $today = date('Y-m-d'); $sunday = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('last Sunday', strtotime('last Saturday'))); $saturday = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('last Saturday')); $firstday = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('next Sunday', strtotime('last Friday', strtotime('first day of last month')))); $lastday = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('next Saturday', strtotime('last Friday', strtotime('first day of this month')))); $thisfirstday = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('next Sunday', strtotime('last Friday', strtotime('first day of this month')))); $thislastday = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('next Saturday', strtotime('last Friday', strtotime('first day of next month')))); echo"$today<hr />$firstday<br />$lastday<hr />$thisfirstday<br />$thislastday"; if($firstday>="$today" && $lastday<="$today") { $month = date('m', strtotime('-10 days', strtotime('next Saturday', strtotime('last Friday', strtotime('first day of this month'))))); $year = date('Y', strtotime('-10 days', strtotime('next Saturday', strtotime('last Friday', strtotime('first day of this month'))))); echo"1<br />$month|$year"; } elseif($thisfirstday>="$today" && $thislastday<="$today") { $month = date('m', strtotime('-10 days', strtotime('next Saturday', strtotime('last Friday', strtotime('first day of next month'))))); $year = date('Y', strtotime('-10 days', strtotime('next Saturday', strtotime('last Friday', strtotime('first day of next month'))))); echo"3<br />$month|$year"; } ?> output: Code: [Select] 2011-10-10<hr />2011-08-28<br />2011-10-01<hr />2011-10-02<br />2011-10-29 Okay i'm trying to compare these sets of variables. code looks like this.. Code: [Select] if( $row->cash > $finalcash && $row->core1 > $finalcore1 && $row->core2 > $finalcore2 && $row->core3 > $finalcore3 && $row->core4 > $finalcore4 ) { return true; } else { return false; } First question is this the appropriate way of doing this? Or would a nested if statement work better? example: Code: [Select] if ($row->cash > $finalcash) { if ($row->core1 > $finalcore1) { if ($row->core2 > $finalcore2) { if ($row->core3 > $finalcore3) { if ($row->core4 > $finalcore4) { } else { return false; } } else { return false; } } else { return false; } } else { return false; } } else { return false; } I know it looks pretty messy, so i'm wondering if anybody is aware of an alternative to achieving this? Hello: I am writing this code: Code: [Select] <?php include('include/myConn.php'); include('include/myCodeLib.php'); $zip_id = $_REQUEST['zip_id']; $query=mysql_query("SELECT zip_id,city,full_state,zip FROM zip_codes WHERE zip_id = $zip_id") or die("Could not get data from db: ".mysql_error()); while($result=mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $zip_id=$result['zip_id']; $city=$result['city']; $full_state=$result['full_state']; $zip=$result['zip']; } ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <?php echo $city; ?>, <?php echo $full_state; ?> <?php echo $zip; ?> </body> </html> It works fine as far as writing out the "City, State Zipcode", but I wanted to see if there is a way to "join" the 3 statements together so it can be written as just 1 statement. Like: Code: [Select] <?php echo $city, $full_state $zip; ?> What is the trick to doing this? Thanks in advance. Hi, What is a shorter way instead of having all these if statements? Here it is: Code: [Select] if($matchno==1) return 66; elseif($matchno==2) return 67; elseif($matchno==3) return 68; elseif($matchno==4) return 69; elseif($matchno==5) return 70; elseif($matchno==6) return 71; elseif($matchno==7) return 72; elseif($matchno==8) return 73; elseif($matchno==9) return 74; elseif($matchno==10) return 75; elseif($matchno==11) return 76; elseif($matchno==12) return 77; elseif($matchno==13) return 78; elseif($matchno==14) return 79; elseif($matchno==15) return 80; elseif($matchno==16) return 81; elseif($matchno==17) return 82; elseif($matchno==18) return 83; elseif($matchno==19) return 84; elseif($matchno==20) return 85; elseif($matchno==21) return 86; elseif($matchno==22) return 87; elseif($matchno==23) return 88; elseif($matchno==24) return 89; elseif($matchno==25) return 90; elseif($matchno==26) return 91; elseif($matchno==27) return 92; elseif($matchno==28) return 93; elseif($matchno==29) return 94; elseif($matchno==30) return 95; elseif($matchno==31) return 96; elseif($matchno==32) return 97; someone please code shorter? I will learn this way. Thanks. I need to insert a large variable number of records into a mysql table. I can do this using a while loop and insert queries in the loop but its slow and ive been given to understand its a bad idea. I have heard that I can insert multiple rows with one query, but how to construct the query? This code can perfectly and reliably display a statement with echo: Code: [Select] <?php $querytestquery='"INSERT INTO test(qval1, qval2) VALUES'; echo $querytestquery; $querymax=10; $querystart=0; while ($querystart<$querymax) { $qval1=1*$querystart; $qval2=2*$querystart; $queryadd="($qval1, $qval2)"; echo $queryadd; if ($querystart<$querymax-1) { echo ','; } $querystart++; } echo '"'; ?> "INSERT INTO test(qval1, qval2) VALUES(0, 0),(1, 2),(2, 4),(3, 6),(4, ,(5, 10),(6, 12),(7, 14),(8, 16),(9, 18)" But I don't understand how to set a variable equal to the displayed query so that I can have php construct the statement based on the values and the number of records I want to update or insert. I have a general dbInsert class method that accepts three arguments: table, fields, and values - the last two each as an array. I am using a PDO connection and prepared statements to sanitize everything. I am having a problem with the bindParam() function accepting the parameter ID's though... here's my code and the result I am getting, any advice? My arguments: $this->_table = "testdata"; $this->_fields = array('product_id', 'store_id', 'description', 'price', 'colors', 'sizes'); $this->_values = array("20002157", "2005", "Kids polo shirt", "12.59", "White", "Large"); My object: $_crud = new Crud(); $_makeCrud = $_crud->dbInsert($this->_table, $this->_fields, $this->_values); My class: public function dbInsert($table, $fields, $values) { $_table = $table; $_fields = implode(", ", $fields); // Create and format the list of insert values $_values = ""; // replaces values with "?" placeholders foreach ($values as $value) { $_values .= "?" . ", "; } // trims off last comma and space $_values = substr($_values, 0, -2); // checks database connection if (isset($this->_dbh)) { // Create the SQL Query $this->_sql = 'INSERT INTO ' . $_table . ' (' . $_fields . ') VALUES (' . $_values . ')'; // Build the query transaction $this->_dbh->beginTransaction(); // Build the prepared statement $this->_stmt = $this->_dbh->prepare($this->_sql); // Bind the parameters to their properties foreach ($values as $key => $val) { // starts $key at 1 $key = (int) $key + 1; $this->_stmt->bindParam($key, $val); } // Execute the query $this->_stmt->execute(); $this->_affectedRows = $this->_stmt->rowCount(); } } What my new table row should look like: Code: [Select] product_id store_id description price colors sizes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20002157 2005 kids polo shirt 12.59 white large But this is what my new row DOES look like: Code: [Select] product_id store_id description price colors sizes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Large 0 Large 0.00 Large Large So it's taking the value of that last $value and inserting it in all the fields, the store_id and price are 0 and 0.00 because of their numeric type... I assume it is a syntax error, missing quotes somewhere, but where? How could I make it so that if the $date variable is past than $memberdate then something shows else something else does. <?php $date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time()-3600); $memberdate = '2011-01-29 01:03:28'; ?> Thanks in advance, I realised I could convert it into a unix timestamp but there must be a better way. Ty. Hey everyone, i am currently working on a "contact us" script. I want the form to first allow the user which department they want to email. E.g.
