PHP - Best Way To Avoid Overwriting Mysql Data With Dynamically Posted Php Data?

I have a query that gets staff on a particular day then performs a while loop selecting each member that works on that day and the times they work between.
I have a for loop in that while loop that lists apointment times for each staff member every 15mins between the times they work, this works fine.
I then have in the for loop a while loop that checks for existing appontments in the appointment table and changes the appointment slot for times that are booked to booked.
I have found though that the second while loops causes doubling of results when an appointment is found, so I need to work out how to restructure this code so that i dont get the doubling effect of result.

you can see the result of the script here

http://justrelax.net.au/datetest.php

and the code that causes the problem is


// convert to US format
$input="$month/$day/$year";
// readable date
$readDATE="$day/$month/$year";
// convert for mysql date
$sqlDATE="$year-$month-$day";
// get day of the week
$weekday=date(l, strtotime($input));
echo $weekday."<br/>";
// get working staff from staff table
$staffSQL=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM staff WHERE ".$weekday." != 'off' AND onLEAVE='no' AND ACTIVE='yes' ORDER BY staffID ASC");
// return results
putenv("TZ=Australia/Adelaide");
while ($staff=mysql_fetch_array($staffSQL)) {
$name=$staff['staffNAME'];
$avail=$staff[$weekday];
$staffID=$staff['staffID'];
list($first, $last)=explode(" ", $name);
list($in, $out)=explode("-", $avail);
$firstTIME="$sqlDATE $in:00";
$lastTIME="$sqlDATE $out:00";
echo "$first is available between $avail on $weekday<br/>";
$in2=strtotime($firstTIME);
$out2=strtotime($lastTIME);
$stop=$out2-900;
echo $in2." - time start - $firstTIME<br/>"; 
echo $out2." - time finish - $lastTIME<br/>";
for ($inc=$in2;$inc<=$stop;$inc+=900) {
$existSQL=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM appointment WHERE date='$sqlDATE' AND staffID='$staffID'");
if (mysql_num_rows($existSQL)>=1) {
while ($appointV=mysql_fetch_array($existSQL)) {
$resSTART=$appointV['dateTIME'];
$length=$appointV['totalTIME'];
$resEND=$resSTART+($length*60);
if ($inc>=$resSTART && $inc<=$resEND) {
echo "Appointment time is ".date("g.i a", $inc)." <font color='red'><< $first BOOKED</font><br/>";
} else if ($inc<$resSTART || $inc>$resEND) {
echo "Appointment time is ".date("g.i a", $inc)." <font color='green'><< $first AVAILABLE</font><br/>";
}
}
}
if (mysql_num_rows($existSQL)==0) {
echo "Appointment time is ".date("g.i a", $inc)." <font color='green'><< $first AVAILABLE</font><br/>";

could really use some help on this I have been trying different things for a few days now.

Hello there,

I have a problem with this project I'm working on, everything is working fine except for one last thing.
it goes as you go to the website, search for a city, choose a hotel from a list in that city, then book a room in that hotel, go to confirmation page then to paypal.
everything is fine except after the booking when you go to the confirmation page, it shows correctly the number of nights you booked and everything, all except the rooms, it shows 0 rooms selected, and it doesn't give any price at all.

here is the code

Code: [Select]

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?
Here is part of the HTML code:

<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>';
    }
    ?>

P.S. Please know that I have purposely omitted the connection part and the methods in the class that are used in this code to keep the spot of the problem as clean as possible. If you need me to rephrase the question, please ask.

Thank you.

I've got a basic form setup on my site that requires the user to fill out the required fields. When one of the fields isn't filled out, the error message for that specific input area is displayed, etc. However, all the information from the form that the user filled out is removed..

I want the user to be able to fill out the form, hit submit, and if any errors, show the specific error but also keep the input boxes populated with the data the user filled out so he/she does not have to re type everything.

if(!empty($_POST['submitFeature']))
{
    // set variables
    $featurename = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['featurename']);
    $name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']);
    $email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']);
    $email2 = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email2']);
    $age = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['age']);
    $city = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['city']);
    $state = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['state']);
    $src = $_FILES['featureupload']['tmp_name'];
    $featuresize = $_FILES['featureupload']['size'];
    $limitsize = 3000000;
        


    if(!empty($featurename) && !empty($name) && !empty($email) && !empty($email2) &&  !empty($city) &&  !empty($state) && ($email == $email2) && !empty($_FILES['featureupload']['tmp_name']) && ($featuresize < $limitsize))
    {

    // IF ALL IS CORRECT, SUBMIT INFO 
    
    } else {
        print '
        <ul class="errorlist">
            <li class="alert">Please fill out the required fields.</li>
        ';
    
        if (empty($name))
        {
            echo ' <li>* Full Name</li>' . "\n";
            $errorname = 'TRUE';
        } if (empty($email))
        {
            echo ' <li>* Email</li>' . "\n";
            $erroremail = 'TRUE';
        } 
        print '
        </ul>
        ';
    }
    // 1 - B. END REQUIRED FIELDS ERROR CODES
    
}
?>

Hi I am trying to select and order data/numbers from a colum in a mysql data base however i run the code and it returns no value just a blank page no errors or any thing so i think the code is working right but then it returns no result? Please help thanks

Here is the code:

<?php
$host= "XXXXXX";
$mysql_user = "XXXXXX";
$mysql_password = "XXXXXX";
$mysql_database = "XXXXXXX";

$connection = mysql_connect("$host","$mysql_user","$mysql_password") or die ("Unable to connect to MySQL server.");
mysql_select_db($mysql_database) or die ("Unable to select requested database.");

$row = mysql_fetch_assoc( mysql_query( "SELECT XP FROM Game ORDER BY number DESC LIMIT 1" ) );
$number = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT XP FROM Game ORDER BY number DESC LIMIT 1"), 0);

echo "The the highest XP is $number";

?>

hi guys, im new to this forum

I'm new also to php, I need help from you guys:

I want to display personal information from a certain person (the data is on the mysql database) using his name as a link:

example:
               (index.php)
               names
                          1. Bill Gates
                          2. Mr. nice Guy
           
i want to click Bill Gates
 
   (output.php)
     Name: Bill Gates
     Country:xxxx
     Age: xx   
                 etc.

How can i make this or how to learn this?
   
                 

             
               

   
       

Hey all,

Let's say if all of the data in the site is the result of queries from the database that are output as html by php as users interact with the site. For example, there's no home.php file. Rather user clicks the link to view the page, and a php script pulls data from database and renders the page at that time. There is no javascript involved in this process. Would this page be crawlable by google?

Thanks for response.

I have a form on our website that a user can fill out for custom product.  I want the form data to be 1) stored into a mysql database AND after storing said data, 2) email the same data to our sales department.

1)  The form data DOES get stored into mysql database (except for the first two fields, for some weird reason)

2) I added a "mail" section to the php file that stores the data into the database, but it is not working correctly.  I have stripped the email portion down to sending just one of the fields in the "message" to make it easier for troubleshooting

I have included here, both the form section of the html file, and the formdata.php file that processes the data for your  analysis.  I am relatively new to php so there are going to be some issues with security, but I can work on those after I get the store & email process to work correctly.  Please review my code and see if anyone can be of assistance.  I looked through the forums and couldn't find another issue that was the same as mine.  If I just overlooked, please tell me the thread post #.  Thanks

Here is something i dreamt up, i know there is a way for this to work, but i'm not having any great ideas at this point. I want to be able to auto increment through the $_POST[] array data sent from a PayPal IPN. Sample return data looks like

item_number1=val
item_name1=val

so on and so forth. The idea is: While there are $_POST item_numbers, do something with it. The loop continues until there are no more item_numbers. I don't want to use the static methods eg: explicitly defining item_number1, item_number2, ect. This is what i thought would work, but keeps failing -> the script doesn't enter the first condition:

$x = 1; // set the initial item number
        while(isset($_POST['item_number$x'])){
            $qty = $_POST['quantity$x'];
            while($qty > 0){                
                // step through each item response result, setting each item to paid
                $package_id = $_POST['item_number$x'];    
                update_paid_status($transaction_id, $package_id);
                $qty--;            
            }
            $x++;
        }

Any Ideas?

Good day:

Is there a way to create a proxy or coding in php that it is constantly getting the data from a sql database and inserting it into a mysql database?

Any help will be appreciated.

Am new here - looks like a great foru!

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

 

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

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.

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();

<?php 
session_start(); 
if(!isset($_SESSION['Logged_in'])){
header("Location: /page.php?page=login");
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE Html>
<html>
<head>
<!--Connections made and head included-->
<?php require_once("../INC/head.php"); ?>
<?php require_once("../Scripts/DB/connect.php"); ?>
<!--Asynchronously Return User Names-->
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
function search(){
        var textboxvalue = $('input[name=search]').val();
        $.ajax(
        {
            type: "GET",
            url: 'search.php',
            data: {Search: textboxvalue},
            success: function(result)
            {
                $("#results").html(result);
            }
        });
};​
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header-wrapper">
<?php include_once("../INC/nav2.php"); ?>
</div>
<div id="content">
<h1 style="color: red; text-align: center;">Member Directory</h1>
<form onsubmit="search()">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<label for="search">Search for User:</label>
<input type="text" size="70px" id="search" name="search">
</form>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="index.php?do=">Show All Users</a>|<a href="index.php?do=ONLINE">Show All Online Users</a>
<div id="results">
<!--Results will be returned HERE!-->
</div>

  search.php 

<?php
//testing if data is sent ok
echo "<h1>Hello</h1><br>" . $_GET['search'];
?>

This is the link I get after sending foo.    http://www.family-li...php?&search=foo   Is that mean it was sent, but I'm not processing it correctly? I'm new to the whole AJAX thing.
