Hello

I need to parse <totalResults> </totalResults> out of this feed using php .I need to retrieve data for the <totalresults> field. Iam stuck with this could not move further as iam new to php. Similar TutorialsI am having troubles loading an xml file, without it just out displaying all the information right away into my php document. Example, i have a php file that runs a command line call to generate some xml, the file name on the server is like fontxml.php (header set to xml though), and its output is like this (when viewing the page source): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <report> <fonts> <font> <commonName>Arial</commonName> <nativeName>Arial</nativeName> <fixedWidth>no</fixedWidth> <fixedSizes>no</fixedSizes> <copyright>Copyright (c) 2010 by Apple.</copyright> </font> </fonts> </report> My problem is, I want to display just the "commonName" value into a certain page design. When I do an include, the entire xml data is just opened into my document right away. I have tried loading with simplexml methods, nothing works. Any ideas on this?

I hope you can help me out! Hi Everyone, I have been successful to parse out some data out of an html page that I am downloading using CURL. I used arrays and preg_match to get the data I need. However, some part of the data has a great deal of SPACE charecters and it seems that my arrays method doesn't work. Can someone please point out how I can parse the following to get only the information out and not tags (****quoted excerpt including all the space characters like it was downloaded): Code: [Select] <span class="basic_serial">(777) 777-7777</span> <br /> 1111 ABCD, EFGH, IJKL <br /> Thanks, hi all am new to this forum help me to overcome from this error Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in D:\wamp\www\quiz1\quiz1.php on line 12 Code: [Select] <?php include("contentdb.php"); $display = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table ORDER BY id",$db); if (!$submit) { echo "<form method=post action=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']>"; echo "<table border=0>"; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($display)) { $id = $row["id"]; $question = $row["question"]; $opt1 = $row["opt1"]; $opt2 = $row["opt2"]; $opt3 = $row["opt3"]; $answer = $row["answer"]; echo "<tr><td colspan=3><br><b>$question</b></td></tr>"; echo "<tr><td>$opt1 <input type=radio name=q$id value=\"$opt1\"></td><td>$opt2 <input type=radio name=q$id value=\"$opt2\"></td><td>$opt3 <input type=radio name=q$id value=\"$opt3\"></td></tr>"; } echo "</table>"; echo "<input type='submit' value='See how you did' name='submit'>"; echo "</form>"; } elseif ($submit) { $score = 0; $total = mysql_num_rows($display); while ($result = mysql_fetch_array($display)) { $answer = $result["answer"]; $q = $result["q"]; if ($$q == $answer) { $score++; } } echo "<p align=center><b>You scored $score out of $total</b></p>"; echo "<p>"; if ($score == $total) { echo "Congratulations!

Hi,
I'm trying to return the value of avail="0" from the following XML file using simplexml_load_string.
<response>
<result code="1000">
<msg>Command completed successfully</msg>
</result>
<resData>
<domain:chkData
xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0"
xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0 domain-1.0.xsd">
<domain:cd>
<domain:name avail="0">www.testing.co.uk</domain:name>
</domain:cd>
</domain:chkData>
</resData>
I have it working where I can access the www.testing.co.uk value using the following:
echo $xml->response->resData->children('domain', true)->chkData->children('domain', true)->cd->children('domain', true)->name;
But am not sure how to access the avail value? I thought the following would have worked by adding ['avail'] onto the end, but appear to be missing something.
echo $xml->response->resData->children('domain', true)->chkData->children('domain', true)->cd->children('domain', true)->name['avail'];
Any help much appreciated.

I would sincerely appreciate any help anyone can give me. I have been trying to solve my problem for hours and I am not having any luck, so I thought I would post and see if anyone can help. I am very stuck and am not making much progress on this project, and I am certain the answer is very simple. I am constructing a form to collect data for a specialized purpose. The form and program actually work for its intended function, but I am trying to enhance the user experience by preventing customers from having to reenter all of their data should there be a problem with any of the data submitted. I have been able to do that with the contact form portion, but what I am having trouble with is the portion which has as many as 400 possible entries. So, in a nutshell, if the customers contact data is incomplete or in error, the form will ask them to return to the page and correct things. The previous data entered has been saved in the session and the input value will equal the previous entry. i.e. <tr> <td align="right" class="infoBox"><?php echo ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS; ?></td> <td align=left><?php echo "<input type=text name='cemail' value=\"$cemail\" size=35 maxlength=35>" ?></td> </tr> Works perfectly, all well and good there. On the other 400 more or less entries, I am having a difficult time tweaking the string concatenation to work to achieve similar results. There are 4 columns each with $points entries asking for a dimension in either feet or inches. The <input name=> is one of ptaf,ptai,ptbf,ptbi, appended programatically with the corresponding row number or data point. i.e. "ptaf1", "ptai1", etc... This is produced by the example below and works perfectly also. <?php { $points=100; $i=1; while ($i <= $points) {echo ' <tr><td align="center" width="6"><b> ' .$i . '</b></td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>A' .$i . ' (ft) <input type="text" name="ptaf'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=3> </td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>A' .$i . ' (in) <input type="text" name="ptai'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=4> </td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>B' .$i . ' (ft) <input type="text" name="ptbf'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=3> </td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>B' .$i . ' (in) <input type="text" name="ptbi'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=4> </td> '; $i++; } } ?> I am trying to add <input value=$ptai.$i> for each field but as I mentioned I am not having any luck. It seems as if I have tried every combination imagineable, but still no luck. My head is spinning! The closest I seem to have gotten was with this: <td align="right" NOWRAP>A' .$i . ' (ft) <input type="text" size=6 maxlength=3 name="ptaf'.$i.'" value="' . "$ptaf" . $i . '" ></td> But line 17 for example returns this: <input type="text" value="17" name="ptaf17" maxlength="3" size="6"> To recap, I am trying to have the value set to whatever the customer may have entered previously. Again, I would most appreciate any help anyone can give me. If you need clarification on anything please let me know. Thanks AJ Hello to all, I have problem figuring out how to properly display data fetched from MySQL database in a HTML table. In the below example I am using two while loops, where the second one is nested inside first one, that check two different expressions fetching data from tables found in a MySQL database. The second expression compares the two tables IDs and after their match it displays the email of the account holder in each column in the HTML table. The main problem is that the 'email' row is displayed properly while its while expression is not nested and alone(meaning the other data is omitted or commented out), but either nested or neighbored to the first while loop, it is displayed horizontally and the other data ('validity', 'valid_from', 'valid_to') is not displayed.'
Can someone help me on this, I guess the problem lies in the while loop? <thead> <tr> <th data-column-id="id" data-type="numeric">ID</th> <th data-column-id="email">Subscriber's Email</th> <th data-column-id="validity">Validity</th> <th data-column-id="valid_from">Valid From</th> <th data-column-id="valid_to">Valid To</th> </tr> </thead> Here is part of the PHP code:
<?php
while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
{
echo '
<tr>
<td>'.$row["id"].'</td>
';
while ($row1 = $stmt1->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
echo '
<td>'.$row1["email"].'</td>
';
}
if($row["validity"] == 1) {
echo '<td>'.$row["validity"].' month</td>';
}else{
echo '<td>'.$row["validity"].' months</td>';
}
echo ' <td>'.$row["valid_from"].'</td>
<td>'.$row["valid_to"].'</td>
</tr>';
}
?>
Thank you. Here's the code that deals with the client side:
<?php
session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['Logged_in'])){
header("Location: /page.php?page=login");
}
?>

I'm new to the whole AJAX thing. Hi, after banging my head against the wall for a while thinking this would be a simple task, I'm discovering that this is more complicated than I thought. Basically what I have is a link table linking together source_id and subject_id. For each subject there are multiple sources associated with each. I had created a basic listing of sources by subject... no problem. I now need a way of having a form to create an ordered list in a user-specified way. In other words, I can currently order by id or alphabetically (subject name lives on a different table), but I need the option of choosing the order in which they display. I added another row to this table called order_by. No problem again, and I can manage all of this in the database, however I want to create a basic form where I can view sources by subject and then enter a number that I can use for sorting. I started off looping through each of the entries and the database (with a where), and creating a foreach like so (with the subject_id being grabbed via GET from the URL on a previous script) Code: [Select] while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($rs)) { //update row order if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { //get variables, and assign order $subject_id = $_GET['subject_id']; $order_by = $_POST['order_by']; $source_id = $row['source_id']; //echo 'Order by entered as ' . $order_by . '<br />'; foreach ($_POST['order_by'] as $order_by) { $qorder = "UPDATE source_subject set order_by = '$order_by' WHERE source_id = '$source_id' AND subject_id = '$subject_id'"; mysqli_query($dbc, $qorder) or die ('could not insert order'); // echo $subject_id . ', ' . $order_by . ', ' . $source_id; // echo '<br />'; } } else { $subject_id = $_GET['subject_id']; $order_by = $row['order_by']; $source_id = $row['source_id']; } And have the line in the form like so: Code: [Select] echo '<input type="text" id="order_by" name="order_by[]" size="1" value="'. $order_by .'"/> (yes I know I didn't escape the input field... it's all stored in an htaccess protected directory; I will clean it up later once I get it to work) This, of course, results in every source_id getting the same "order_by" no matter what I put into each field. I'm thinking that I need to do some sort of foreach where I go through foreach source_id and have it update the "order_by" field for each one, but I must admit I'm not sure how to go about this (the flaws of being self-taught I suppose; I don't have anyone to go to on this). I'm hoping someone here can help? Thanks a ton in advance This could be PHP or MySql so putting it in PHP forum for now... I have code below (last code listed) which processes a dynamically created Form which could have anywhere from 0 to 6 fields. So I clean all fields whether they were posted or not and then I update the mySQL table. The problem with this code below is that if, say, $cextra was not posted (i.e. it wasnt on the dynamically created form), then this code would enter a blank into the table for $cextra (i.e. if there was already a value in the table for $cextra, it gets overwritten, which is bad). What is the best way to handle this? I'm thinking i have to break my SQL query into a bunch of if/else statements like this... Code: [Select] $sql = "UPDATE cluesanswers SET "; if (isset($_POST['ctext'])){ echo "ctext='$ctext',"; } else { //do nothing } and so on 5 more times.... That seems horribly hackish/inefficient. Is there a better way? Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST['hidden']) && $_POST['hidden'] == "edit") { $cimage=trim(mysql_prep($_POST['cimage'])); $ctext=trim(mysql_prep($_POST['ctext'])); $cextra=trim(mysql_prep($_POST['cextra'])); $atext=trim(mysql_prep($_POST['atext'])); $aextra=trim(mysql_prep($_POST['aextra'])); $aimage=trim(mysql_prep($_POST['aimage'])); //update the answer edits $sql = "UPDATE cluesanswers SET ctext='$ctext', cextra='$cextra', cimage='$cimage', atext='$atext', aextra='$aextra', aimage='$aimage'"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $connection); if (!$result) { die("Database query failed: " . mysql_error()); } else { } Say there is a complex opt in process where people start to enter their data but certain questions stop them where they close out of the page. They already entered their data and I feel there is a way to grab it and post it to mysql even though they do not click submit.
How would this be done?
A super simple example (proof of concept) or a link to a tutorial would be very useful.
Edited by brentman, 23 September 2014 - 10:42 AM. I have two tables. Table Name:Users Fields: User_name user_email user_level pwd 2.Reference Fields: refid username origin destination user_name in the users table and the username field in reference fields are common fields. There is user order form.whenever an user places an order, refid field in reference table will be updated.So the user will be provided with an refid Steps: 1.User needs to log in with a valid user id and pwd 2.Once logged in, there will be search, where the user will input the refid which has been provided to him during the time of order placement. 3.Now User is able to view all the details for any refid 3.Up to this we have completed. Query: Now we need to retrieve the details based on the user logged in. For eg: user 'USER A' has been provided with the referenceid '1234' during the time of order placement user 'USER B' has been provided with the referenceid '2468' during the time of order placement When the userA login and enter the refid as '2468' he should not get any details.He should get details only for the reference ids which is assigned to him. <?php session_start(); if (!$_SESSION["user_name"]) { // User not logged in, redirect to login page Header("Location: login.php"); } $con = mysql_connect('localhost','root',''); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("login", $con); $user_name = $_POST['user_name']; $refid = $_POST['refid']; $query = "SELECT * from reference,users WHERE reference.username=users.user_name AND reference.refid='$refid' AND "; $result = mysql_query($query) or trigger_error('MySQL encountered a problem<br />Error: ' . mysql_error() . '<br />Query: ' . $query); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo $row['refid']; echo $row['origin']; echo $row['dest']; echo $row['date']; echo $row['exdate']; echo $row['username']; } echo "<p><a href=\"logout.php\">Click here to logout!</a></p>"; ?> <html> <form method="post" action="final.php"> Ref Id:<input type="text" name="refid"> <input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"> </html> |
