PHP - Xml Pretty Array
I would like to take the following xml file, and convert it to a nice array. Is there any functions to do this or any suggestions how to do this?
xml file: Code: [Select] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <users> <instructions> <phpfile>users.php</phpfile> </instructions> <users action="multiple"> <user> <name>root</name> <password>5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99</password> <permissions> <access>CREATE_USR</access> </permissions> </user> <users> </users> Desired array: Code: [Select] Array ( [instructions] => Array ( [phpfile] => users.php ) [users] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => root [password] => 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 [permissions] => Array( [access] => CREATE_USR ) ) ) ) Similar TutorialsI am getting Use of undefined constant id - assumed 'id' with this: $query = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE id = ".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[id]).""; That seems pretty bull shit to me.

So yeah, what's the most efficient way to simply submit a picture, and all my other pictures will move? I know some of you guys will say to just learn php, but quite frankly, I don't have the time... and all the php books are ~1000pgs long which seems really daunting. I know, my problem's pretty basic and it'll probably be covered in the first 100pages or so, but still, like I said I don't have that much time for the moment. When I do, however, can you guys recommend me the quickest guide/video series/book to learn practical php? Not the most comprehensive, as the stuff I'm going to be doing's not that complex. One last thing, I've been hearing about CakePHP; what is it? I read that it's an "open source web application framework", but I still have little clue.

So perhaps I'm never really specializing in any one thing, and I tend to miss some good stuff, like MySQL GROUP BY. Doing counts of things using GROUP BY is very handy. I saw somebody doing that in a thread, and adapted it to two things that I was working on in the last week. Sweet!
What other fun MySQL stuff am I missing out on?
I found this online at http://php.net/manual/en/function.time.php: <?php function rel_time($from, $to = null) { $to = (($to === null) ? (time()) : ($to)); $to = ((is_int($to)) ? ($to) : (strtotime($to))); $from = ((is_int($from)) ? ($from) : (strtotime($from))); $units = array ( "year" => 31536000, // seconds in a year (12 months) "month" => 2628000, // seconds in a month (4 weeks) "week" => 604800, // seconds in a week (7 days) "day" => 86400, // seconds in a day (24 hours) "hour" => 3600, // seconds in an hour (60 minutes) "minute" => 60, // seconds in a minute (60 seconds) "second" => 1 // 1 second ); $diff = abs($from - $to); $suffix = (($from > $to) ? ("from now") : ("ago")); foreach($units as $unit => $mult) if($diff >= $mult) { $and = (($mult != 1) ? ("") : ("and ")); $output .= ", ".$and.intval($diff / $mult)." ".$unit.((intval($diff / $mult) == 1) ? ("") : ("s")); $diff -= intval($diff / $mult) * $mult; } $output .= " ".$suffix; $output = substr($output, strlen(", ")); return $output; } ?> ======================= Basically, if you type <?php echo rel_time("March 12, 2011 7:00 PM"); ?>, it will show you the time ago relative to the current time. But there's two problems. 1) The time it sends out is about 5hrs early (the actual time is 7:00pm, I set the rel time to 7:00pm, but the time it displays reads '5 hours ago, 1 minute, and 3 seconds ago'. I'm not much of a coder, but judging by the looks of it, it would appear correct... but apparently not. 2) My second gripe is that the code shows too many increments of date. What I mean is, if if I set the date to over a year ago, it would display the years,months,weeks,days,minutes,seconds. That is way too much increments. I just want it to display seconds, if I submitted it seconds ago, just display minutes if it was displayed minutes ago, and display days if it was submitted days ago. You get the idea. Friends, family, fellow coders, and bored people- can you help a nooblet? Thanks! $username = $loggedInUser->username; // This is the logged in username $time = time(); $makedir = $username.'_'.$time; $var = getcwd(); $var = str_replace('\users', '\imageuploads', $var); $dirlocation = $var."\\".test_directory($username, $mysqli); function test_directory ($username, $mysqli) { $stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT Temp_Directory FROM uc_users WHERE user_name LIKE ?"); $stmt->bind_param("s", $username); $stmt->execute(); $stmt->bind_result($Tempdir); while ($stmt->fetch()){ return $Tempdir; } } if((!empty(test_directory($username, $mysqli))) && is_dir($dirlocation)){ //echo "this is it"; $thedirectory = $dirlocation; } if(empty(test_directory($username, $mysqli))){ //echo "it's not a directory"; $newdir = $var."\\".$makedir; $query = mysqli_query($mysqli, "UPDATE uc_users SET Temp_Directory='$makedir' WHERE user_name='$username'"); if(!$query){ //echo mysqli_error($mysqli); } mkdir($newdir); //security chmod($newdir, 0644); $thedirectory = $newdir; } if(!is_dir($dirlocation) && (!empty(test_directory($username, $mysqli)))){ //echo "third one"; mkdir($dirlocation); chmod($dirlocation, 0644); $thedirectory = $dirlocation; } Ok, so what I'm doing here is testing to see whether a a record exists of the user having a folder in the MySQL database. Then, if it does, make sure that a folder exists at that location. If there is no folder, we create one for the user. If there is already a folder, we leave it alone. This is for image uploads, and $thedirectory, is where we upload images later on in the script. Hope that makes sense. The code seems to work. But how can I improve it and make it more robust? Or should I just leave it alone? Should I return FALSE from the function for better reliability over empty()? Hi all. I was wondering if there was a way (other than retrieving db fields with a query) to show something like "customer_id" as "Customer ID". Is there a functionality of this nature in either MySQL or PHP? I'm aware of preg_replace and such but that would still require two queries; one for the field names and one for the data (right?)

This topic has been moved to PHP Applications. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=344127.0 Hi there, Basic question, but I can't seem to find a page in the PHP docs that answers (though I'm sure such a one exists, I just can't seem to think up the right search terms - anyway) My question is: is there a short-hand way to use a value from an associative array as the key in another associative array? So for example, given this array: $the_array = array(0 => array('name': 'the_name', 'value' : 'the_value'), 1 => etc....); then this kind of foreach loop doesn't work Code: [Select] $new_data = array(); foreach($the_array as $element){ $new_data[$element['name']] = $element['value']; } Obviously I can just save out the values, like $name = $element['name'] --- but I was just wondering if there was a more efficient way to do it? Cheers, PS. I tried encapsulating with {} - i.e. $new_data[{$element['name']}] --- but that also fails. I have mysql select query shown below retrieving data from a database:

I tried this echo max($row['count']) but i understandably got this feedback: Warning: max(): When only one parameter is given, it must be an array Thanks. Hello all, I have yet again trouble finding a logical solution to my problem. I'm fetching an array which can hold 1 or more values. The problem is, I want these values to ouput in my json_encode function, but this also needs to happen dynamically depending on the amount of values. I can't explain it further, so here's the code so far: Code: (php) [Select] $files = mysql_fetch_array($get_files); $a = count($files); $i = 1; while ($files) { $variablename = 'fileName' . $i; $$variablename = $files['fileName']; $i++; } $output = array( OTHER VALUES , 'fileName1' => $fileName1, 'fileName2' => $fileName2, 'fileName3' => $fileName3, ............); // How do I add the fileNames dynamically depending on how many there are? This got me thinking, I also need to dynamically GET the values with jQuery. How would I do that, when the above eventually works? Thank you. So I'm trying to create an Array from a comma separated string containing array{s}. How can I take a string full of comma separated hex values such as : <?php $myStr = ( "00ffff", "00cccc", "009999", "007777", "004444", "001111", "01ffff", "01cccc", "019999" ); ?> & turn it into 3 separated arrays like : <?php $myNewArrs = [ Array1 ( 3 ), Array2 ( 3 ), Array3 ( 3 ), ]; ?> which REALLY looks like : <?php $myNewArrs = [ Array ( "00ffff", "00cccc", "009999" ), Array ( "007777", "004444", "001111" ), Array ( "01ffff", "01cccc", "019999" ), ]; ?>
? Thank you & have a great afternoon!
