PHP - Link Inside An Echo Table?

This probably doesn't matter much, but I am using a 'Display' class for final output to the browser.

The class will display the obvious HTML header and then display either the full site or the mobile site.

It also displays the CSS / JS (which is previously selected in the page-specific controller code as there are variations based on server-side checks).

Basically it is the ONLY class that actually needs to send anything to the browser.

When I begin output and echo inside the class, that is the end of the script - there is no more server-side code to execute.

If I shouldn;t echo inside the class, is it that bad to do so?

Currently whether data from the queries are found or not, its surrounded inside the div tags...

i want to somehow echo the div tags inside the while loop, but only echo once.

the confusing part for me is that the queries are connecting to 2 different tables for data.. and both need to be found for the div to be echo.
 
if($item['quantity'] >= 1){   
if($item2['type'] == 'weapon'){


code below....


Code: [Select]

<div class="g_content"><h3 style="text-align: left">&nbsp;&nbsp;Weapons</h3><div class="g_text">
<table align='center' cellspacing='10'>
<?php

$current_col = 1;
$max_col = 4;


$query = $db->execute("select * from items where `player_id`=?", array($player->id));

while($item = $query->fetchrow())
{
$query2 = $db->execute("select * from `blueprint_items` where `id`=?",array($item['item_id']));
$item2 = $query2->fetchrow();


//DISPLAY IF QUANTITY IS 1 OR MORE.
if($item['quantity'] >= 1){
if($item2['type'] == 'weapon'){
    //Open new row if first column
    if($current_col==1)
    {
        echo "<tr>\n";
    }

    //Display current record

    echo "<td width='25%'>";
echo "<center><img src=\"{$item2['img']}\" width='80' height='80' style=\"border: 1px solid #CC9900\"></center>";
    echo "<center><a href=\"../description.php?id={$item2['id']}\">{$item2['name']}</a> [x".$english_format_number = number_format($item['quantity'])."]</center>";
    echo "<center>$".$english_format_number = number_format($item2['value'])."</center>";
echo "<center>[<a href='../item.php?sell=".$item['id']."'>Sell</a>] [<a href='../item.php?market=".$item['id']."'>Market</a>] <br>[<a href='../item.php?send=".$item['id']."'>Send</a>] [<a href='../item.php?equip=".$item['id']."'>Equip</a>]</center><br>";
    echo "</td>\n";
 //Close row if last column
    if($current_col==$max_col)
    {
        echo "<tr>\n";
        $current_col = 0;  //<---Changed
    }
    $current_col++;
}
}

}
//Close last row if needed
if ($current_col!=1)
{
    for(; $current_col<=$max_col; $current_col++)
    {
        echo "<td>&nbsp;</td>\n";
    }
}

?>
</table>
</div></div>

Im having a problem with getting the quotes correct with this. I can either get the variable to work in the href and img src or in the css. Anyone have any ideas on this. Cuase im really stuck.

This allows the $address and $cos to echo in but not the css variables


<td><?php echo "<a href='planet_profile.php?planet=$address'>
<img src='images/star.jpg' id='$cos' 
style='position:absolute;' left:'$b_x px;' top:'$b_y px;'></a>"; ?></td>


and this allows only the css variables to work


 
<td><?php echo '<a href="planet_profile.php?planet="' . $address . '">
<img src="images/star.jpg" id="' . $cos . '" 
style="position:absolute; left:' . $b_x . 'px; top:' . $b_y . 'px;"></a>'; ?></td>

Hello guys im new to php i been coding for like a week now, i  need some help here i have been stuck for like 6 hours XD,is it possible to write an IF Statement inside an echo?


//this is what i want to do 
// echo a table and a delete button
// and if you click on the delete button it echoes out "DELETED"

</td>
</tr>
<tr>

<font size='1'>Posted By:<font color='green'>$author</font> on <font color='gray'>$date</font> at <font color='gray'>$time</font></font>

 if ($_POST['delete']) {  echo "DELETED";     } 


<td>
</td>
</tr><br><br>
</table>

I'm redoing my login script using functions and a basic switch function checking against a $_GET variable (hope you guys know what I'm talking about).

What I want to do is create two functions:

1 that displays the login form
and 1 that processes the information

The form tag would look like this:
<form action=\"<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>?action=process\" method=\"post\">
</form>

Here's my switch statement:
Code: [Select]
<?php

//****************************************
//****************Action******************
//****************************************

switch ($_GET["action"]) {
default:
case "index":
if (!$_SESSION["member"]) {
if (!$timeout) {
display_form();
} else {
echo $timeout_error;
}
} else {
echo "You are already logged in.";
}
break;
case "process":
if (!$_SESSION["member"]) {
if (!$timeout) {
process_form();
} else {
echo $timeout_error;
}
} else {
echo "You are already logged in.";
}
break;
}

?>

This runs as soon as "login.php" loads.

It'll automatically run the commands under case "default" and "index". It'll first check to see if the member's logged in. If not, it'll then check to see if "$timeout" is true ($timeout becomes true if the member has attempted to login 5 times and failed). If not, it'll display the login form, by running "display_form()".

Once the form has been filled and submitted, the commands under case "process" will be performed. Again it will first check to see if the member's logged in. If not, it'll check to see if "$timeout" is true. If not, it'll start validating the forms.

For the validation, I've created a variable called "$errors_found", and scripted one if statement checking to see if the email and password exist. If so, the variables "$rm_field_un" and "$rm_field_pw" become true, as well as "$errors_found".

So, back to submission of the form...

If "$errors_found" is true, display the form (when the form is displayed, there will be an if statement within that says "<?php if ($rm_field_un) { echo "Username is wrong."; } ?>", which will be displayed right underneath the username field and label. Same with the password elements). If "$errors_found" is not true, go ahead and register the member.

Now, here's where I need help, because I'm really confused as to how to accomplish this.

The "display_form()" function will contain a single variable called "$login_form". It will contain a value of the HTML constructed login form, and the function will return the variable.

Remember how I stated in the third paragraph up that I will have <php> statements within the form which would display errors if necessary? Well, how do I put those if statements within the HTML, which is contained within the variable?

If that last question confuses you, allow me to present you with an instance:
Code: [Select]
<?php

function display_form() {
$login_form = "
<form name=\"login_form\" method=\"post\" action=\"<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>?action=process\">
Username:
<input type=\"text\">
<?php if ($rm_field_un) { echo "Username is wrong"; } ?>
";

return $login_form;
}

?>

See what I mean?

This code confuses me ALOT. I'm not sure if the <php> tags are needed as it is already contained within existing ones, or what. Can somebody please help me out?

Any and all help is much appreciated. =D

Hi

I am trying to use the nl2br function like this

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)) {
//May need this later to output pictures   
//     $imageURL = 'upload/'.rawurlencode($row["filename"]);
  echo
  
   "  <div class='divTableRow'>
<div class='divTableCell'>{$row['User']} ;</div>
<div class='divTableCell'>nl2br({$row['CommentText']});</div>
</div>


    \n";
}

However the output just looks like the attached picture.

When I check in the sql db I can see the line breaks when doing a select * from Table ;

 

Hi I am new to PHP and this is my first post one here so appologies is this questions seems a bit dumb!

I have an if clause such that if a button is pressed on my web page then i want to reload the page and include a new form on it.

I am having a problem getting the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] command to work from iside a echo command. I must not be escaping the code correctly with back slashes:

I currently have the line :

 
echo"<form method=\"POST\" action=\"\<?$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?\>\">";


However this doesnt seem to work as my page just doesnt display in the browser.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

how do i get the image to show as the code i have is echoing what i have been told is binary, not confirmed.  and not the images.

all images are .jpg

Code: [Select]
$allowed_types = array('png','jpg','jpeg','gif');
$imgdir = '/home/mysite/ftpfolder';
$imgFilesArray = scandir($imgdir);
foreach ($imgFilesArray as $imgkey => $imgvalue)
{
$imgInfo =  pathinfo($imgdir . '/' . $imgvalue);
$imgExtension = $imgInfo['extension'];
if(in_array($imgExtension, $allowed_types))
{
readfile($imgdir . '/' . $imgvalue);
//echo '<img src = "'. $imgdir  .'/'. $imgInfo['basename'].'" alt="" />';
}
}

images are FTP'd to the ftpfolder and can not be placed anywhere else but this folder due to security reasons.

Hi! My question is probably simple but I've been scratching my head for hours now... I'm pretty new to php. I have an online form for orders; when submitted, an email is sent to the shop manager containing the info the client has filled in. So I pass all the info in the code below, but I can't manage to echo the array containing the order's items/qty/item_code. (I'm using Wordpress, Oxygen Builder, Metabox and Code Snippets, if that helps). Here's the code (used as a Code Snippet):

add_action( 'rwmb_frontend_after_process', function( $config, $post_id ) {
    if ( 'command-form' !== $config['id'] ) {
        return;
    }

    $name = rwmb_meta( 'name', '', $post_id );
    $email = rwmb_meta( 'email', '', $post_id );
    $phone = rwmb_meta( 'phone', '', $post_id );
    $orders = rwmb_meta( 'order', '', $post_id ); */ ---> this is the array I wish to show the elements from (array --> [0]:{item:"item", qty:"qty", code:"code"]}, [1]:{}, etc...} */
    $comments = rwmb_meta( 'comments', '', $post_id );
    $reception = rwmb_meta( 'reception', '', $post_id );
    $destination = rwmb_meta( 'destination', '', $post_id );
    $payment = rwmb_meta( 'payment', '', $post_id );

    $body = "Vous avez reçu une nouvelle commande en ligne!

Nom: $name
Courriel: $email
Téléphone: $phone
Commande: */ ---> this is where I want it displayed, but since it is within $body = " ", I can't seem to be able to use foreach( ) or even print_r( )... */
Commentaires: $comments
Réception: $reception
Paiement: $payment";
     

    $headers = ['Content-type: text/html', "Reply-To: $email"];
    wp_mail( 'address@domain.com', 'Nouvelle commande en ligne', $body );
}, 10, 2 );

 

Help with this would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know if any details are missing. Thanks in advance!

How do I make this output a clickable link:

<?php echo $_POST["website"]; ?><br />

Hi guys,
I stored the path of a file in a database and the file in a folder, now i want users to click on a link and be able to download the file.
I tried:

	  echo " Download <a href=".$file_path." download>Here</a>"; ?>
	

Didnt work, just took me to the path of the image. What i want is a link and when clicked the download window pops out.

 

Thanks

I have created a database that echos out the result on a webpage, what i want to do is create one of the echo results into a link - the code is as follows:

"Web Address: $web_address <br>" .

Is there an easy way to make the result a link as the input will always be a web address?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I am having problems in forming this link:
{

echo "<a title='page $i' class='current' href='javascript:ajaxpage('view.php?catid=" . $catid ."&" ;
if($subid > 0)
{
echo "subid=";
echo $subid . "&";
}
echo "p=$i', 'content';'>$i</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;";
}

Which currently points to javascript:ajaxpage(

and then ends!

I have to put a link that can be clicked around the first name and last name variables in the echo statement below.  I also need to add a variable from the Select query to the link such as: 'www.phpfreaks.com/admin/customers.php?page=1&cID="VARIABLE HERE" &action=edit'

I've tried a bunch of things and none seem to work.


while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){


echo '<tr><td>' . $row['customers_firstname'] . " " . $row['customers_lastname'] . '</td><td>' .


date("M. d, Y", strtotime($row['date'])) . '</td><td>' . $row['plan_id'] . '</td></tr>';
