PHP - Creating An "editable" Proposal Generator
Hello again,
I'm trying to work out the right way to do this, and I'm wondering if some of you could give me some tips or point me into the right direction. Basically what I'm looking to create is an "editable" proposal generator to make things a bit easier around the office. Basically you would have a landing page to select your product, select the options, add pricing, and plug a price into a lease payment generator that would spit out the math for the 12/24/.../60 month payment options. I thought about just creating it all in PHP with html forms for all of the variables (customer name, which product, options, etc) and then using PHP to do the math for the lease payments (easy enough I think,) but the part where I'm having trouble is the actual printing and archiving of the proposal once it has been generated. Ideally I would like it to fit perfect on a page every time, obviously, but there are other problems such as the header/footer parts coming out on the page (which I know is a client side thing that I can't really get around.) Is there a better way to do all of this? Is there another language I should be looking at that would make this easier conceptually? I'm sure a few of you have run across this "Editable Invoice" ( http://css-tricks.com/examples/EditableInvoice/ ...) I imagine it behaving similar to this (written with css, javascript.) Similar TutorialsCan someone please help me with an array problem i can not figure out. I need the array to be numbered from 1 to how ever many fields that are needed in the form and have a mysql field name and the title of the field also in the array. 1, "mysql_field_name", "Title of form field" 2, "", "" and so on then the form will be shown based on the array. I have the following draft code which I am working with. any suggestions on how i may do this array ? Code: [Select] <?php $options = array( '1'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option1', 'mysqlfield'=>'option1'), '2'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option2', 'mysqlfield'=>'option2'), '3'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option3', 'mysqlfield'=>'option3'), '4'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option4', 'mysqlfield'=>'option4'), ); // $options = array(1 => "option1", "option2", "option3", "option4"); // the line above works but i want to include the name of the mysql field as well. $userid = 1; ?> <div style="align: center; margin: 12px; font-family:Tahoma;"> <br><br><?php if ($_POST['Update'] != "Update") { // check if form submitted yet, if not get data from mysql. $res = db_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `userid` = '" . $userid . "'"); foreach($options as $key => $value) { $_POST[$key] = mysql_result($res, 0, $value); } $ok_to_update = "no"; } elseif ($_POST['Update'] == "Update") { // check if form submitted yet, if so get POST data. // error checking // foreach($options as $key => $value) { // $_POST[$i] = ""; // } $ok_to_update = "yes"; } if ($_POST['Update'] == "Update" && $ok_to_update == "yes") { // $res = db_query("INSERT INTO `users` () VALUES ()"); // add user details to database. ?><p><br><br><br>Thank you for updating</p><?php } else { ?><form name="form1" method="post" action=""> <?php foreach($options as $key => $value) { ?><p><?php echo($value); ?>: <input type="text" name="<?php echo($key); ?>" value="<?php echo($_POST[$key]);?>"></p> <?php } ?> <input name="Update" type="submit" value="Update"> </form> <?php } ?> </div> Hi, bit stuck on how to find and replace "<" and ">" with "<" and ">". I basically have a database record that outputs to screen and I need the code in the <code> tags to be rendered to the screen. I therefore need it to go through the whole array variable from the db and change the symbols just inside the code tags. Please be aware that the code tags might happen more than once here's an example below Code: [Select] <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1> </code> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1> </code> the desired output would be: <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1 </code> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1 </code> help on this would be great Cheers Rob Hi guys I am a newbie with PHP and I have been trying to solve this problem for 3 days.. Ive set up a booking form on my website to be sent directly to my email once the client clicked on the send button.. The problem I am having while checking these pages on wamp is that the booking form is ok but when I click on the send button the following message error appears "Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\wamp\www\fluffy_paws\booking_form2.php on line 27" When I check online I have this message "500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed." Are my codes wrong??? My webhosting is Blacknight.com , Im on Windows Vista, my internet is a dongle with O2 ireland Thanks for your help! Hi guys I'm struggling a bit, I need to replace a word that occurs multiple times in text with an array("up","down","forward","backwards") of words. $find = "left"; $replace = array("up","down","forward","backwards"); $text = "left left left left"; echo str_replace($find,$replace,$text); The Output is: array array array array Did try this with a foreach statement as well, but no luck. Is there a better way of doing this? Thanks cant work out this mysql syntax error "operation":"medupdate","medid":"","name":"ibo","medyear":"5","medmonth":"21","medday":"1","recuser":1,"SuccFail":"fail","SuccFailMessage":"error occured You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '''WHERE med_id=' at line 2","ResultData":""} Code: [Select] $sql="update metodology set med_description='".$req['name']."', med_year='".$req['medyear']."', med_month='".$req['medmonth']."', med_day='".$req['medday']."', med_recorddate= now(), med_recorduserid= 1'"; $sql.= " WHERE med_id=".$req['medid']; When I Google the above string I find a lot of advice about using SFTP, turning on blocking, upgrading libraries and such, however, the code that does this seems to work during some operations and not work during others, so I don't think it's a matter of a buggy library. If I could find out why it cannot create the remote file, that might do a world of good. But I've been through all of /var/log and some log messages acknowledge the ssh session, but don't give any clues as to what goes wrong. I've looked at the user, password, host name and port name in and around the ssh2_connect() call. They are all good. I've also checked the permissions and ownership on the destination directory. They aren't the problem either. I've also tried duplicating the call w/a command-line scp call, and that test passes also. So now find myself staring at this "failure creating remote file" message, wondering what the failure is, and I'm running out of ideas. I'm running RHEL AS release 4. I am getting the following error when using composer: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"? Just started. I am pretty sure composer.json wasn't changed. journalctl doesn't show anything. Maybe Doctrine related, however, nothing seems to help.
Any ideas?

This topic has been moved to Linux. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=318175.0 Hi guys, I'm just curious as to how I would go about to create a "globals.php" page much similar to the one vBulletin uses just as an example. I have some ideas but I'm not 100% sure. In my mind it works sort of like this. - Do a query to grab all relevant data for the user - Put it in an array - Take data from array .. $array['user'] (example) Could anyone tell me if I'm waaaaaaaaay off and if so offer some guidance, links perhaps? Thank you! I have a registration form on my website and after Registration I want the user to activate first his account. I don't have problem on sending this email to the user. What I want to appear is like this.. GoodDay "username", Blah Blah! how can you actually do that? I know that you can do that through session variables but the thing is email's can't accept scripts on sending emails. how can I get the value from a session variable for example and convert it to plain html text so that i can OUTPUT it to the email.. HELP PLEASE!

Hi all, Using a form with check boxes divided into different categories, I collect data selected by the user. I now want to combine each choice in each category with each choice in the other categories and list the combinations to the user. If the user chooses one or more options in each category, it is relatively easy to nest foreach loops, since the number of categories will always be the same. For example, if the form contains three categories of options, the code will be: Code: [Select] foreach ($form['cat_1'] as $k1 => $val1) { foreach ($form['cat_2'] as $k2 => $val2) { foreach ($form['cat_3'] as $k3 => $val3) { echo $val1.' _ '.$val2.' _ '.$val3.'<br/>'; } } } Things get complicated if the user does not select options within a given category. More generally, I want to be able to generate the list regardless of the number of categories in which the user selects options. Thank you in advance for your advice. Hey guys! I have the following doubt: I have a php file that does the following alongside with other code not displayed he $fp = fopen("emails.txt", "w"); It opens a txt file called emails.txt that is in the same folder where the php is saved but how do I tell $fp = fopen("/folderbefore/emails.txt", "w"); ?? In other words, how do I write the path on the script that the emails.txt is located in a previous folder where the php file is located?? Thanks in advance for your help Cheers! hello, I was wondering what is the point of writing for a dropdown: <?php if ($_POST[inputfieldID] == "value") { echo "selected"; } ?> or for a checkbox/ radio button: <?php if ($_POST['cb/radioID'] == "value") { echo "checked"; } ?> I guess it's for after submit, if there is any error, the values filled will still be echoed in the inputfield, or am i wrong? But then if that is true, i have a php search box where i use AJAX object to to send all the input they filled in after submit. But after pushing submit the inputted values remain. I guess when using AJAX to send the information i don't need <?php if ($_POST[inputfieldID] == "value") { echo "selected"; } ?> in my html forms? Little confused Can maybe somebody bring clearness Been just trying to test out some basic code that utilizes gd. In Chrome i receive a blank page. In firefox I get "The image "image.php" cannot be displayed because it contains errors". There is no whitespace before or after the php tags, which seems to cause this error sometimes. $image = imagecreate(200,20); $background = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0); $foreground = imagecolorallocate($image,255,255,255); imagestring($image, 5, 5, 1, "Test", $foreground); header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); $imagejpeg($image); I am just following a tutorial, and at this point in the tutorial i should get at least some garbled text, if not an image. I looked at other common causes. gd2 is un-commented in php.ini. phpinfo shows: GD Support enabled GD Version bundled (2.0.34 compatible) FreeType Support enabled FreeType Linkage with freetype FreeType Version 2.4.3 GIF Read Support enabled GIF Create Support enabled JPEG Support enabled libJPEG Version 6b PNG Support enabled libPNG Version 1.2.46 WBMP Support enabled XBM Support enabled gd.jpeg_ignore_warning 0 0 I have not found any other solutions to try, or maybe I have made an error is checking these solutions. Any advice with be great! Thank you for your time. I'm a very new PHP user (as in, I just started today) and need to make a set of navigation buttons which will take the user to "next" or "previous" pages. I assume that the $_GET function is involved, but I don't know how to do it. It needs to work like this: If the URL looks like "http://website.com/page1.php" I need the "next" button (a href image) to change it to "/page2.php", and while on page 2, for the "previous" button to take the user to "/page1.php" and so forth. How can I cause the page number to increment or decrease respective to the href image being clicked? This topic has been moved to mod_rewrite. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=347354.0 I've tried everything I could think of to resolve this issue and just can't solve it. I created a CMS, but I get this error when I add a user that has been previously deleted. For example, I create a user with username "Alicia", then I no longer need that username so I delete it. Then later I get another person named alicia, but when I try to add a user again with username Alicia, I get this error. This only happens when the username has been previously deleted. I don't have the username field set as unique in the database and it is also not set as a key. Any ideas? In the following code the sign "\" is used before "/index.php?....". What does this sign mean in a link statement? Does it mean it automatically adds the url of the webfolder or phpfile? Code: [Select] <?php echo "<a href=\"/index.php?sid=".$name."&question=".$nextquest."\">next</a>"; ?> |
