PHP - Calling A Variable From Url

I have just re-installed Xampp and suddenly my sites are now displaying lots of:

Notice: Use of undefined constant name - assumed 'name' in ...
Notice: Use of undefined constant price - assumed 'price' in ...

this is an example of the line its refering too:

$defineProducts[1001] = array(name=>'This is a product', price=>123);

My login script stores the user's login name as $_SESSION[ 'name'] on login. For some unapparent reason, i'm getting errors stating that $user  and $priv are  undefined variables, though I've attempted to define $user as being equal to $_SESSION['name'], using $user to look up the the user's privilege level (stored as the su column ) in the SQL table, and then where the result of the sql query is $priv which is then evaluated in an if statement. I can't seem to figure out why this might not be working.

The code I'm using:

<?php
session_start();
function verify() {
	//verify that the user is logged in via the login page. Session_start has already been called. 
	if (!isset($_SESSION['loggedin'])) {
	header('Location: /index.html'); 
	exit;
	}
	//if user is logged in, we then lookup necessary privleges. $_SESSION['name'] was written with the login name upon login. Privleges   // are written in db as a single-digit integer of of 0 for users, 1 for administrators, and 2 for special users. 
        $user === $_SESSION['name'];
    //Connect to Databse
	$link = mysqli_connect("127.0.0.1", "database user", "password", "database");
	if (!$link) {
  	  echo "Error: Unable to connect to MySQL." . PHP_EOL;
    	echo "Debugging errno: " . mysqli_connect_errno() . PHP_EOL;
    	echo "Debugging error: " . mysqli_connect_error() . PHP_EOL;
    	exit;
        }
        //SQL Statement to lookup privlege information. 
       if ($result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT su FROM accounts WHERE username = $user", MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT)) {
         //LOOP TO CYCLE THROUGH SQL RESULTS AND STORE Privlege information as vairable $priv.
            while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
           $priv === $row["su"];
            }
        }
        // close SQL connection.
        mysqli_close($link);

 // Verify privleges and take action. Only a privlege of "1" is allowed to view this page. A privlege of "2" indicates special 
//accounts used in other scripts that have certain indermediate additional functions, but are not trusted administrators. 

        if ($priv !== 1) {
        echo $_SESSION['name'];
        echo "you have privlege level of $priv";
        echo "<br>";
        echo 'Your account does not have the privleges necessary to view this page';
        exit;
        }
        
}
verify();
?>

 

Hi, I got a little problem with calling a PHP function from a href.
I got my site all set up, and am calling the function like this:

Code: [Select]
<?php echo '<a href="'.changeRecentPosts().'" class="image">' ?>
This does indeed work, but it calls the function every time I refresh my page.. Which isn't the effect I was trying to achieve.

I tried to change it to : Code: [Select]
<?php echo '<a href="#" onClick="'.changeRecentPosts().'" class="image">' ?> But that didn't work either.

It also seems it only calls it when I refresh my page, but never when I click it (I guess because PHP is handeled before HTML or something similar?).

If you can think of any way (even in AJAX, or whatever other language...) feel free to, I think I can figure it all out.

Thank you! 

I am trying to call a javascript function from a php script.  This is the approach I'm using.  I have an alert in the function, just to confirm the function executes.
Code: [Select]
echo "<script type='text/javascript' src='http://localhost/Project/JScript/File.js'>";
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>functionName();</script>";
Is this the correct approach?

How can i call a specific row when ever a like.

example :

Code: [Select]
$record = mysql_query("select * from table_name");
($getValue= mysql_fetch_row($record)   //i'm not sure what should i use. should i use mysql_fetch_array, mysql_ fetch_ assoc, mysql_ fetch_ object,  mysql_ field_ name and etc.

print $getValue[$column_name][0];

0 = value 1st row in the database/table_name
1 = value 2nd row in the database/table_name
2 = value 3rd row in the database/table_name
......
....
......
.....
etc.

is there a code i can do except from using sql_fetch_array then loop and put in into a multidimensional array?

I am using simple machines forum, and by placing a link to ssi.php in the top of my php page Code: [Select]
<?php require_once('/forum/SSI.php');?>I am able to use some ssi functions. My problem is calling another function from within a function. My first function is this:
Code: [Select]
<?php

$allowed_groups = array(1,5);
$can_see = FALSE;
foreach ($allowed_groups as $allowed)
if (in_array($allowed, $user_info['groups']))
{
$can_see = TRUE;
break;
}

if ($can_see)
{
echo '
<div>
this is text that i want certain groups to see
</div>';
}
else
{
//message or section to show if they are not allowed.
echo 'this is text that i dont want certain groups to see';



}
?>
This is my second function:
Code: [Select]
<?php ssi_welcome(); ?>
I want to put the second function inside the first function, like so:
Code: [Select]
if ($can_see)
{
echo '
<div>
<?php ssi_welcome(); ?>
</div>';
this just gives me the "<?php ssi_welcome(); ?>" displayed on the actual site, it is not calling the separate function.

I have tried different approaches, e.g. $function ssi_welcome;  but all it does is display this as text as well..

Please can some one point me in the right direction. Thank you

Hi,

I'm currently in the process of making my first website.

The problem is that I'm trying to change the language the website will be in by pressing a button that will call the setlocale() function.
But I can't seem to get it to work. From what I read on the internet you can't use php in javascript because it's serverside. But I can't really think of an alternative way of doing this. Any sugestions?


This is my code btw for what it's worth.


  Code: [Select]
         
                <form action="SetLangEN()" >
                      <input type="image" src="../images/ENflag.jpg" alt= "EN" width="20px"
                   height="15px"  onclick="SetLangEN()" />   
                    </form>
                   
         
                    </form>
                 </div>
             
             <script type="text/javascript">             
             function SetLangEN() {
                <?php   
                 setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US");  ?> }
             </script>

I define a Javascript in the <head> section of a .php file and call it from the <body> section with the following:
echo "<script language='javascript'>function();</script>".
The function displays a confirm box with the normal Cancel and OK buttons just fine, but I want to capture the function return of true or false for which button was selected.
So far I haven't found a way to get return a value from the function. Any ideas???

I have a PHP config file called config.php.

inside the file is simular to this:

Quote

<?php
class JConfig {
   var $offline = '0';
   var $editor = 'tinymce';
   var $list_limit = '20';
}
?>


From another file, i have included config.php, but how do I call $editor to get "tinymce"?

Thanks

i have a database which contains a table named girls with three columns ...Serial(int) name(text) hits(int)

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","gaurav","");
mysql_selectdb("website",$con);
$index1 = rand(1,$count);
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM girls WHERE Serial=$index1");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($sql);
$name1 = $row['name'];
$hits1 = $row['hits'];

echo <<<ECO
<html>
<script language="javascript">
increment(){
// some php code to increase the hits in database where name = $name1
}
</script>
<input type="button" value="increment" onclick="increment();" name="button">
</html>
ECO;
?>

sorry for the code to be really haphazard..i jst started with php.....now i dont know wat code to put to increment the hits in increment function since it would also use varialble $name1 and $index1.....

This is probably a quick one. I am pretty new to OOP, in fact somewhat a novice. I am working a lot more with objects lately as my previous "flat" php experience doesn't allow me to create clean and expandable applications. Of course though, questions will always pop up (that's what you guys are for?)

One concept I am having trouble understanding, is the method to call a class.

What is the difference between?:

Code: [Select]
<?php $cat = new class(); ?>
and just simply:

Code: [Select]
<?php  new class(); ?>
Both appear to have the same output from my small amount of practice, but the first way seems strange to me. Being that I am very new to OO PHP, the first way looks like it is just defining a var. But in reality it is calling the class and running it? This seems very backwards to me and I am having a hell of a time understanding it. I am aware that the first way seems to be the "proper" way, but just can't fathom it.

Could someone explain this to me a little further?
thanks much,

i have a constructor
  Quote

public function __construct(){
            // check if any action related to this page was generated
            if(isset($_GET['action'])){
                $this->action = ucwords($_GET['action']) . '()';
                self::{$this->maction};
                               
            }
           
            //code to generate the list of all the systems users
            $user = new userDAO;
            $this->results = $user->fetchAll();
       } 

   


if action is present in the querystring, eg. delete, it would be stored into $this->action as Delete().  Similarly, if the action was edit, it would be stored as Edit(). My intent is to call the method named Delete() or Edit() depending upon which action was generated. I have defined the methods in the same class. Once i assign the current action to the $this->action, i want to call the method without explicitly specifying the method name....

here i have tried self::$this->action....
i even tried $this->action only

but its not working? i think the string stored in the self::$this->action is not being interpolated? or....sth. i dont know. pls help out guys
       

What im trying to do is grab a list of items from http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=6.2.7 and display it for me in a blank layout like

Code: [Select]
/item/antelope-sinew-cord?id=10007501 - antelope-sinew-cord - 10007501
/item/carbon-fiber?id=10009304 - carbon-fiber - 10009304
etc etc..
But the code i came up with grabs the data great.. (TOOK ME FOREVER TO FIGURE OUT THE PATTERN  ) but i finally managed to get it lol.. anyways the following code is

Code: [Select]
<?php
$page_contents = file_get_contents("http://ffxiv.yg.com/items?f=c=6.2.7");
$pattern = '/\/item\/([a-z,-]+[^gil])\?id\=([0-9,]+)/';
$matches = array();
preg_match_all($pattern, $page_contents, $matches);
foreach($matches as $item) {
echo $item[0] . " - " . $item[1] . " - " . $item[2] . "<BR>";
}
?>
It works but not the way im looking.. it gives me data like so

Code: [Select]
/item/antelope-sinew?id=10007504 - /item/antelope-sinew-cord?id=10007501 - /item/carbon-fiber?id=10009304
antelope-sinew - antelope-sinew-cord - carbon-fiber
10007504 - 10007501 - 10009304
Thanks for whomever to take a look, and thanks for your responses

Please somebody help me. I am really stuck.
I am also sending my attachment.

So i have an url routing class set up. I wan to call method via url so it would look something like this: http://www.mysite.com/index.php/Class/Method/Parameter. I was able to instantiate class like this:

Code: [Select]
$controller = new $this->UrlPath[0];

But i can't call method the same way
Code: [Select]
$controller->$this->UrlPath[1]();
Is there a way to call method with an array?
