PHP - Help With Making String From <option> Values

Hi all, i've got a string ($currentcatid) which contains one number which changes dependant on which page the visitor is on.. ie  it may be perhaps "23" or "17" .

I need to do a check against this string to see if it contains any of the following values .. 31,32, 1, 24 . I cant remember how i did it before but i think it was with pipes..

something along the lines of
if ($currentcatid =="31"||"32"||"1"||"24") { action }

can anyone help?

Thanks

I have a DB of data: article-id, section-id, subsection-id, article-text. When a row is fetched I am displaying article, section, subsection as <h3>, <h4>, <h5> and then text in a <p>. Before outputting the text I want to scan it for other articles, sections, or subsections it may reference then turn that reference into a hyperlink. I read the PHP documentation but I can't find anything that translates to the basic commands of instring, indexof, and left/mid/right. 

Example:

1. Article Name

100. Article 1, section 1

100.a article 1, section 1, subsection a

Text blah blah blah 105.f blah blah blah

 

I want to find that 105.f and turn it into a link. All my articles, sections, and subsections are in the DB so I know I can use an array of the number values as my items to look for, but I can't figure out how to look.

I am trying to make it echo if a string doesn't equal any of the values.   I have tried:   if(!preg_match("/none|Blue|Brown|Green|Grey)/i", $eyecolor)){ echo "Not an eye color"; } 

Say you have a string that you know has two, and exactly two, periods in it, like this...

$string = "3.12.8"

How can you grab the three different values that are separated by periods (in this case, 3, 12 and ?   I was thinking use strpos to find the position of the first period, then could use that info to grab everything up to that position.  But then I couldn't figure out how you would find the position of the SECOND period.   And even if I could get the exact positions of the two periods, it seems like there should be an easier way to simply retrieve values separated by specific characters.     Is there a specific function for this type of thing, or was my initial though correct with having to do it in two parts essentially (find positions of periods, then use that knowledge to get the values)?   Thanks!

Well the topic may not sound very explicit. So I'll do my best to explain it here. I have a pull down menu as part of a form, which contains the months of the year. I'm trying to store the value of this form entry using the $_POST['month'] variable into a database but first, I need to convert the month values into their corresponding integer values( that is 1 for January, 2 for February etc), in order to easily do date calculations later down the road. Any ideas about how to do this? It may be helpful to include the code for the pull down menu.
Code: [Select]
<p><tab> Date of Birth: <?php //Make the month pull down menu.
//Array to store months. 
$months = array (1 => 'January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'); 
print '<select name= "month">';
foreach ($months as $key => $value) {
    print "\n<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>";
}
print '</select>'; ?> </tab>
 

<tab>  <?php //Make the day pull down menu
print '<select name= "day">';
for ($day = 1; $day <= 31; $day++) {
    print "\n<option value=\"$day\">$day</option>";
}
print '</select>'; ?> </tab>

<tab><?php //Make the year pull down menu 
print '<select name= "year">';
$start_year = date('Y');
for ($y = ($start_year - 18); $y >= 1900; $y--) {
    print "\n<option value=\"$y\">$y</option>";
}
print '</select>'; ?> </tab> </p>

Hey there...

I'm so stuck on this problem I was hoping someone could help...

I need to query a MySQL Database using array values...

Here is my array ... $query_keywords = Array ( [7] => business [10] => home [11] => depo )
 
Here is my php ...$query = "SELECT * FROM product WHERE product_name, product_comment IN ($query_keywords)";
$result=mysql_query($query);

if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
{
   echo "results";
}
else
{
   echo "no results";
}


Unfortunately, I get this ...
Warning: mysql_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in blah\blah\results.php on line 99

Please help me
All comments greatly appreciated...

What I'm trying to do is take two arrays and combine them using array_combine. After they are combined I want to take each key and value pair and use them in a string to build a MySQL query. See below for some pseudo-code  =D


<?php
$fields = array('first_name', 'last_name'); //the fields that will be set with an UPDATE query.
$newvals = array('Joe', 'Blow');//The values that will go into $fields

$arr = array_combine($fields, $newvals);//Each value now has a key of the field it will update.

/**
This is where I want to return my SET string with something like 'SET ' . $arr['first_name']  ' = ' . $arr['first_name_value'] ', etc etc.
*/


There it is, I suppose. Are there any easier ways of doing what I'm trying to accomplish, that is, am I on the right track or just making things harder for myself?
Both arrays will have dynamic values throughout my application, so I need to be able to get both each field and value for each query. Any links to some constructs, etc, etc? That's all I really need and I can post the solution when I've figured it out.

Hello,
I am trying insert the values of csv file into a table. I want to concatenate the values of some columns of csv into one String column of table by delimiting them my commas.

I need to enter the value of $a[6] till $a[9] into a string column with delimiters and insert into the column col3 of TB1 with value as $a[4].
I am stuck up here could anyone help me with this issue.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this group and new to php. I have created a multi-part form that allows the user the option to add multiple input fields to a form to upload images. Here is the form structu

Code: [Select]
<form action="Scripts/processreports2.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="report_form" target="uploader" class="reportfrm">
<fieldset>
        <legend>Upload your images</legend>
        <ol id="add_images">
          <li>
        <input type="file" class="input" name="files[]" />
          </li>
  <li>
        <input type="file" class="input" name="files[]" />
          </li>
  <li>
        <input type="file" class="input" name="files[]" />
          </li>
        </ol>
        <input type="button" name="addFile"  id="addFile" value="Add Another Image" onclick="window.addFile(this);"/>
</fieldset>
        <p>* indicates a required field.</p>
        <input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" value="Send Info!" />
</form>

Through php a maximum of three input fields are fed into an array that checks to make sure that the uploaded files are images and not some other type of file. The uploading porition of this script works.

Now I am trying to get the values of the input fields as a string and insert them into the database as one record.

Let's say the user has three files they want to upload. I have managed to get the files as a string ie; file1.jpg, file2.jpg, file3.jpg but what is happening is that I am getting three separate records with  file1.jpg, file2.jpg, file3.jpg in them. If the user has only two files to upload then I get two separate records with file1.jpg and file2.jpg in them. (Hope that makes sense). I want one record.

I have been struggling with this since Monnday and while every day I get closer, this is as close as I can get. Below is the php code.

#connect to the database

mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");

mysql_select_db("masscic");

//Upload Handler to check image types

function is_image($file) {

$file_types = array('jpeg', 'gif', 'bmp'); //acceptable file types

if ($img = getimagesize($file)){

//echo '<pre>';

//print_r($_FILES); used for testing

//print_r($img); used for testing

if(in_array(str_replace('image/', '', $img['mime']), $file_types))

return $img;

}

return false;
}

//form submission handling

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

//file variables

$fname = $_FILES['files']['name'];

$ftype = $_FILES['files']['type'];

$fsize = $_FILES['files']['size'];

$tname = $_FILES['files']['tmp_name'];

$ferror = $_FILES['files']['error'];

$newDir = '../uploads/'; //relative to where this script file resides

for($i = 0; $i < count($fname); $i++) {
    //echo 'File name ' . $fname[$i] . ' has size ' . $fsize[$i]; used for testing

if ($ferror[$i] =='UPLOAD ERR OK' || $ferror[$i] ==0) 

{

if(is_image($tname[$i]))

{

//append the tmp_name($tname) to the file name ($fname) and upload to the server

move_uploaded_file($tname[$i], ($newDir.time().$fname[$i])); 

echo '<li><span class="success">'.$fname[$i].' -- image has been accepted<br></span></li>';

}else 

echo '<li><span class="error">'.$fname[$i].' -- is not an accepted file type<br></span></li>';

}

if (is_array($fname))

$files = implode(', ',$fname);

//else $files = $fname;

$sqlInsert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO files (file_names) VALUES('$files')") or die (mysql_error());

}
}

Hi,

I am trying to make some adjustments to uploadify.php which comes with the latest version of uploadify (3.0 beta), so that it works with a session variable that stores the login username and adds it to the path for uploads.  Here is uploadify.php as it currently looks:

Code: [Select]
<?php
session_name("MyLogin");
session_start();

$targetFolder = '/songs/' . $_SESSION['name']; // Relative to the root

if (!empty($_FILES)) {
$tempFile = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$targetPath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $targetFolder;
$targetFile = rtrim($targetPath,'/') .'/'. $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];

// Validate the file type
$fileTypes = array('m4a','mp3','flac','ogg'); // File extensions
$fileParts = pathinfo($_FILES['Filedata']['name']);

if (in_array($fileParts['extension'],$fileTypes)) {
move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile);
echo '1';
} else {
echo 'Invalid file type.';
}
}

echo $targetFolder;

?>
I added Code: [Select]
echo $targetFolder; at the bottom so that I could make sure that the string returned was correct, and it is, i.e. '/songs/nick'.  For some reason though, uploads are not going to the correct folder, i.e. the username folder, but instead are going to the parent folder 'songs'.  The folder for username exists, with correct permissions, and when I manually enter Code: [Select]
$targetFolder = '/songs/nick';all works fine.  Which strikes me as rather strange.  I have limited experience of using php, but wonder how if the correct string is returned by the session variable, the upload works differently than with the manually entered string.

Any help would be much appreciated.  It's the last issue with a website that was due to go live 2 days ago!

Thanks,

Dear All Members

Hi,

My company has 240+ locations and as such some users (general managers) cover multiple sites.  When I run a query to pull user information, when the user has multiple sites to his or her name, its adds the second / third sites to the next columns, rather than wrapping it inside the same table cell.  It also works the opposite way, if a piece of data is missing in the database and is blank, its pull the following columns in.  Both cases mess up the table and formatting.  I'm extremely new to any kind of programming and maybe this isn't the forum for this question but figured I'd give it a chance since I'm stuck.

The HTML/PHP code is below:

<table id="datatables-column-search-select-inputs" class="table table-striped" style="width:100%">
