PHP - I Am Trying To Create A Simple Php Project. (need Help)

I am wanting to create a basic product listing page for a product category called "Belts".

My latest attempt was this, but I got an error:
PHP Code:
Code: [Select]
$query = "select * from products";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    print ".$row['name'] where category = 'Belts'.$row['colour'] where category = 'Belts'";
}

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING


This is what my MySQL table looks like:
http://i54.tinypic.com/2j1si8w.png

I image what I am trying to do will print "Somename Black, ProductName2 Brown"?

I'm not really interested in styling at the moment, I just want to see the PHP-MySQL work at the most basic level.

I am unsure what the error cosde means. Can anyone see a fault in my code?

Hello everyone, I am working on a form that is similar to a shopping cart system and I am thinking of creating a button that submits the checked value and saves them to a $_SESSION variable. And also a link that links to a cart.html that takes the values of a $_SESSION variable. I am have trouble figuring what tag/attribute should I use in order to achieve that.   Right now my code attached below submits the checked values to cart.html directly. However I want my submit button to save the checked box to a $_SESSION variable and STAY on the same page. And then I will implement a <a> to link to the cart.php.   I researched a little bit about this subject and I know it's somewhat related to ajax/jquery. I just wanted to know more about it from you guys. I appreciate your attention for reading the post and Thanks!   Below is the form that I currently have:

<form name= "finalForm" method="POST" action="cart.php">
<input type="Submit" name="finalSelected"/>

<?php foreach($FinalName as $key => $item) {?>
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="fSelected[]" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($FinalID[$key])?>" />
<?php echo "$FinalID[$key] & $item";?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php } ;?>

Below is the code for cart.php

<?php
require ('connect_db.php');
if(isset($_POST['finalSelected']))
{
	if(!empty($_POST['fSelected']))
	{
		$chosen = $_POST['fSelected'];
		foreach ($chosen as $item)
			echo "aID selected: $item </br>";
		$delimit = implode(", ", $chosen);
		print_r($delimit);
	}

}
if(isset($delimit))
{
$cartSQL = "SELECT * from article where aID in ($delimit)";
$cartQuery = mysqli_query($dbc, $cartSQL) or die (mysqli_error($dbc));
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($cartQuery, MYSQLI_BOTH))
{
	$aTitle[] = $row[ 'name' ];
}
}
?>

<table>
	
		<?php if(isset($delimit)) { 
		$c=0; foreach($aTitle as $item) {?>
		<tr>
		<td>
			<?php echo $aTitle[$c]; $c++;?>
		</td>
		</tr>
		<?php }}?>
</table>

well done really need help but this seemed the best place to put it

well i was wondering what would be easy 1st project for a  beginner to make in php,

Hi, I need more than one person on my team for my project, I was wondering if someone will join and help me. My project it a website software (kind of like a CMS). This won't be paid. That's the only problem.

So I am working on a project in which I am taking pictures from an SSH area, running ImageMagick on the picture to crop out what I want and then use the threshold to make it like I want, and then finally run Tesseract OCR on the final picture. I have a new picture coming in to the spot I am taking the pictures from every six seconds and I need the program to run the commands to do all of this every six seconds as the pictures come in forever basically. As of right now, here is my code that I have. I am relatively new to using PHP scripting working for the command line in Ubuntu. So if anyone could help me with some fixes to this code, I would be greatly appreciative.
Code: [Select]
<?php
function tesseract($image)
{
define($ocmd, `ssh *place i am taking from*`);
fwrite("<pre>$ocmd</pre>");
define("$pic1", "`convert $image -crop 1000x170+350+785 -negate -threshold 42000 $image.tif`");//This is a 1920x1080 hd image
define("$pic2", "`convert $image -crop 600x95+200+550 -negate -threshold 41000 $image.tif`");//This is a 1280x720 hd image
define("$pic3", "`convert $image -crop 650x100+75+550 -negate -threshold 43000 $image.tif`");//This is a 960x720 hd image
define("$pic4", "`convert $image -crop 500x62+175+410 -black-threshold 53% $image.tif`");//This is a 960x540 hd image
define("$cmd2", "`tesseract $image.tif $image.txt`");//command to take the words of the edited image
list($width, $height) = ImageCreateFromJPEG(filename);
define("$area", "($width*$height)");
if ($area == 1920*1080)
{
$line = $pic1;
}
elseif ($area == 1280*720)
{
$line = $pic2;
}
elseif ($area == 960*720)
{
$line = $pic3;
}
elseif ($area == 960*540)
{
$line = $pic4;
}
else
{
$line = "Please try a picture of another size.";
}
echo("<pre>$line</pre>");
if ($line != "Please try a picture of another size.")
{
echo"<pre>$cmd2</pre>";
}
}
?>

About Me
Hi, firstly let me introduce myself. My name is Liam O'Connor and I'm 17 years old, 18 soon (quite excited) living in the UK and I've been learning how to makes websites ever since I was 16. Within the last 2 years I have taught myself (x)HTML/CSS, PHP/MySQL, JavaScript/Ajax to a good standard. I'm currently at college doing a Computing Networking and Security Extended Diploma.

The Project
I have been working on a website for many months now that I REALLY love doing. When ready for launch the website will be a simple social networking website that lets users communicate in groups or one-on-one, also users will be able to create chats on the topics they like to talk about and personalise them to how they like.

What have I done so far?
Within the last few months I have created a well working chat system that allows many users to communicate together, and many features within the chat such as emoticons, change status (online, busy, away), control of font size, sound alerts, chat comments, and a thumb rating system.

What could you do?
If you are interested to help develop a website like this one (for free) in your own time, please contact me and let me know a little about you and what you think you would be able to offer. There is no rush to get this project finished and put live for the world to see so there would be no pressure on you. If you are not interested in developing the website but you believe you have some wise words of wisdom please share them with me or if you believe you can help in any other way please let me know.

Please check out the image below
Thanks

Hello I am new to the forums and this is my first post

A little about me, I have played around with php time to time but don't know how to code it, I can modify it and use scripts and what not but I can't find a script that I wan't to do this

I wan't to be able to upload and file share site without using mysql and using cookies instead to keep track of user's upload's without having them to register a account, I don't want a user management system for this I just want them to be able to upload a file and it keep track of their upload's(I can set a limit of course), and be able to share the direct link to their friends for them to quickly download it. 

I need to know what steps I need to do and how to start basically and if anyone can help me out. 

Thank you PHP Freaks

Hi guys,              I'm a beginner in php.I know some basic codings in it.I want to do the project in php.Help me how to start..?..and what kind of project is best for beginners to learn..? 

I'm doing a project using PHP to store reviews by people in the database.   http://postimg.org/image/3l9j1uipf/   When the 'Add Reviews' is clicked, it goes here   > http://postimg.org/image/q07qvnluh/   Here comes the problem, I need to add radio buttons / groups for people to select their phone rating 1-5. & in the front page (the page with add / search / list), it displays the ranking / rating of phones.   Anyone have any idea how do I do the codes?
Edited by Axton, 06 August 2014 - 05:18 AM.

with my limited PHP programming skills I have managed to successfully a produce a css button maker which makes and produces the code for a number of resolutions and devices.

this is the $result displayed
Code: [Select]
$result = "<a href='#' class='blnk'><li class='btn rnd'>" .$_SESSION['text'] ."</li></a>";
($_SESSION['result']==$result);
this is how each device is called:
Code: [Select]

####   ANDROID   #######
if ($_SESSION['device']=="android")
{ echo "<div id='andt'></div><div id='andm'><div id='and-st'><div id='btn'>";
  $i=1;
  while($i<=$_SESSION['nbr']){
 echo  $result;
  $i++;
  }
echo "<div class='cl'></div></div></div></div><div id='andb'></div>";}

This is the dropdown for the bumber of buttons
Code: [Select]
<legend> Button No</legend>
<select name="nbr"><option value="<? echo $_SESSION['nbr'] ?>"><? echo $_SESSION['nbr'] ?></option><?php include('inc/f-1to8.php'); ?></select></fieldset></td>
Code: [Select]
<tr> 
<td colspan="3"><fieldset><legend>Button Text </legend><input name="text" type="text" value="<? echo $_SESSION['text'] ?>"  size="50" maxlength="16" /></fieldset></td>
What I need is to know howto not only produce a number of Button Text input boxes that correspond to Button No but ones that each correspond individual buttons so each button has its own text field.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated - Im suprised I have got as far as I have. here is the link at the mo http://www.d-sine.com/_STYLES/buttons.php - (the reset button will set default settings by going to a page that posts back default settings in hidden fields on a meta refresh)
Kind Regards

Okay, let's say I have  a block of text like so;


00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000


I need to be able to add more/less digits to the text.

Like so;

0x00000000 0x00000000
0x00000000 0x00000000
0x00000000 0x00000000
0x00000000 0x00000000
0x00000000 0x00000000

etc

Also if it's greater than a certain number, to subtract. :3

How would I go about doing that?


Thank you,

Doctor

So I have decided to do research as my project and gain something from this. But also I will have to include programming which i prefer PHP. and will be testing these for my research. Does this sound like a good project and also If it is good sound.. Where do I start?...  need a starting point and then I could go on to doing it..
