PHP - Storing Last 6 Id's Viewed As Sessions
Hello everyone
I wonder if you could help me. I want to create a function called <?php function mythings($what) Which would allow me to pass an ID number to, such as <?php mythings(5419); What I want to do with that function is store the ID numbers of the past 6 items I have viewed, but I want to store each item as a SESSION once it has been passed. So essentially I would end up with the following 6 SESSIONS <?php $_SESSION['item1']; $_SESSION['item2']; $_SESSION['item3']; $_SESSION['item4']; $_SESSION['item5']; $_SESSION['item6']; So the "item1" SESSION would be the latest item ID passed through the function But then if I then passed a new ID through the function, that new ID passed would then become $_SESSION['item1']; and the current SESSION $_SESSION['item1']; would become $_SESSION['item2']; and $_SESSION['item2']; would become $_SESSION['item3']; and so on. This means I can do a list such as <?php print "Item 1".$_SESSION['item1']."<br>"; print "Item 2".$_SESSION['item2']."<br>"; print "Item 3".$_SESSION['item3']."<br>"; print "Item 4".$_SESSION['item4']."<br>"; print "Item 5".$_SESSION['item5']."<br>"; print "Item 6".$_SESSION['item6']."<br>"; ?> Does that make much sense? Can anyone help. Thanks very much all John Similar TutorialsI have created a login form. I am sending values through Ajax for form validation. However, I am having problem with the code that I am unable to store values in Sessions & Cookies.
I have added a "Remember me" checkbox into login form. I want to validate Boolean value using Javascript Checked property and send the data to PHP for validation.
If user clicks on remember me checkbox then the data should be stored in either Sessions & Cookies. If it is not checked then data should be stored only in Sessions. I am posting here my login form code, Ajax code & PHP code.
Could you guys help me to point out my mistake what I am doing wrong in this code?
Login Form:
<input type="checkbox" id="cb" name="cb"> <label for="cb">Remember me</label>Ajax Code: function login(){var e = _("email").value; var pass = _("password").value; var cb = _("cb").value; if(e == "" || pass == ""){ _("status").innerHTML = "Please fill out the form"; } else { _("loginbtn").style.display = "none"; _("status").innerHTML = 'please wait ...'; var ajax = ajaxObj("POST", "handlers/login_handler.php"); ajax.onreadystatechange = function() { if(ajaxReturn(ajax) == true) { if(ajax.responseText == "login_failed"){ _("status").innerHTML = "Login failed, please try again."; _("loginbtn").style.display = "block"; } else { window.location = "message.php?msg=Hello "+ajax.responseText; } } } ajax.send("e="+e+"&pass="+pass+"&cb="+cb); } }PHP Code: $cb = cleanstr($_POST['cb']); if(isset($cb) && ($cb == true)) { // IF USER CLICKED ON REMEMBER ME CHECKBOX CREATE THEIR SESSIONS AND COOKIES $_SESSION['userid'] = $db_id; $_SESSION['username'] = $db_username; $_SESSION['password'] = $db_pass; setcookie("id", $db_id, strtotime( '+30 days' ), "/", "", "", TRUE); setcookie("user", $db_username, strtotime( '+30 days' ), "/", "", "", TRUE); setcookie("pass", $db_pass, strtotime( '+30 days' ), "/", "", "", TRUE); // UPDATE THEIR "IP" AND "LASTLOGIN" FIELDS $sql = "UPDATE users SET ip='$ip', lastlogin=now() WHERE id='$db_id' LIMIT 1"; $query = mysqli_query($con, $sql); echo $db_username; exit(); } else { // IF USER HAS NOT CLICKED ON REMEMBER ME CHECKBOX CREATE THEIR SESSIONS ONLY $_SESSION['userid'] = $db_id; $_SESSION['username'] = $db_username; $_SESSION['password'] = $db_pass; // UPDATE THEIR "IP" AND "LASTLOGIN" FIELDS $sql = "UPDATE users SET ip='$ip', lastlogin=now() WHERE id='$db_id' LIMIT 1"; $query = mysqli_query($con, $sql); echo $db_username; exit(); } hi i am working on a project in which i have to retrieve the articles which are the most visited by the users. i have serched the internet but not find any useful code snippets. can any one guide me how to solve this problem. am currently building the cart system of a product, now there is this part wherein, the non-logged-in OR logged-in user should also be able to see the items that he/she viewed, how to do that?., am not asking for code snippets , just give me some ideas/hints/strategies/tips that may help me get the big picture on how to do this thing and proceed coding. Hi Guys, I have a script that shows the user of my shop what they have looked at. I was wondering if someone can tell me how I can limit this so it only lists 10 and no more. Here is the code: Code: [Select] if(RECENTVIEWED ==1) { if(isset($_COOKIE['jimbeam'])){ $productUrl = SITE_URL."ecom/index.php?action=ecom.pdetails&mode="; $productUrl = $this->libFunc->m_safeUrl($productUrl); foreach ($_COOKIE['jimbeam'] as $name => $value) { $this->obDb->query="SELECT vTitle FROM ".PRODUCTS." WHERE vSeoTitle = '".$value."'"; $rsProd = $this->obDb->fetchQuery(); $this->obTpl->set_var("TPL_VAR_PRODUCTTITLE",stripslashes($rsProd[0]->vTitle)); $this->obTpl->set_var("TPL_VAR_PRODUCTURL",$productUrl.$value); $this->obTpl->parse("recent_blk","TPL_RECENT_BLK",true); } $this->obTpl->parse("mainrecent_blk","TPL_MAINRECENT_BLK"); } } Thanks, Jordan Hello all, Wondering if you can help me, I am wondering if it is possible to get PHP to show the last websites you viewed, just giving the names of the websites in a list. If so? is there any pointers someone can give me as to how to learn to achieve something like this..I'd really appreciate the help! So, you know how on forums (including this one) the icon of a topic/forum will be greyed out if your account viewed that topic's latest post, regardless of which computer you viewed it on? How exactly does it store that? I know that logically it would store it on the Database, but I'm curious as to the actual implementation. It seems to me that storing every single topic you viewed it and when would take up huge numbers of rows, even for a small number of people, like say 100. If you have a forum with 1000's of people, each viewing even 3 topics a day, you're record numbers would be huge, slowing down the database. And calling your last viewed time for each and ever topic? Wouldn't that slow down the code excecution heaps? If you have any input, I'd love to hear it. It's a question I've been wrestling with in the back of my mind for a few years now Hello people i have a system that takes people to generated pages from the database, the user has a field to input a video and others watching videos will get redirecting to tht video in time, what i want to know is how can i tell if a user viewed the page so to stop them getting redirected to it again by my random video query? The link always is video.php?id=blabla the id changes every refresh, so i can call that id to check if there on the page but how can i tell if they have been on it before. This topic has been moved to PHP Applications. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=327636.0 hey all, i have an issue, i have a directory site called hackingtoolz.tk and if you go to it, you will see a list of folders as it is just a directory the problem is how to i stop the banner from apearing in the directory. i have tried changing the chmod to 4000 and that just made the jpeg stay their and the banner screw up if you go to the site you will understand what i mean better hope you can help cheers nick This script ...
<?php echo "Your IP Address: <br/>"; print_r($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']); ?>... prints: ::1I am looking to have the IP address from which the site is viewed printed on screen. What is the issue, here, with the script I have? I have been trying this on localhost and I am using XAMPP. <?php query_posts('meta_key=post_views_count&posts_per_page=3&orderby=meta_value_num& order=DESC'); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <ul class="rpul"> <li> <div class="class="post-thumb wp-post-image" style=' '> <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?> <?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail') ?> <?php endif ?> </div><div class='cat-post-text'> <h1> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
so the user is reading a story, to finish reading he has to click a link that redirects them to the signup page. Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); $beginurl = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; $_SESSION['beginurl'] = $beginurl; echo $_SESSION['beginurl']; ?> <html> <head> </head> <body> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- location.replace("http://www.mysite.com/members/"); //--></script> </body> </html> When they get to the second page, they have to click a link that opens up a modal. this is the code that runs when they hit the register button Code: [Select] session_start(); $beginurl = $_SESSION['beginurl']; $beginurl= (isset($_SESSION['beginurl'])) ? $_SESSION['beginurl'] : 'Error'; if( $_SESSION['status'] ='authorized') $_SESSION['$makemodal'] = 0; //sends the user to the page upon successful password credential if(!isset($_SESSION['SESS_USERID'])||(trim($_SESSION['SESS_USERID']=='admin'))) { echo '<script language="javascript">'; echo "top.location.href = $beginurl"; echo '</script>'; exit(); } Am I passing this variable correctly? and I'm not sure if the top.location.href towards the bottom is correct either, right now after I hit the register button I'm redirected to a blank page where the url is, "http://www.mysite.com/function Error() { [native code]}" Hello, I was wondering how to create the 'This post is being viewed by user1, user2, user3 and ... guests' on a certain location of the forum/website. I was thinking about having all these usernames / guests stored in the mysql database, however this caused an issue for me, since I got no idea if you can/are allowed to place an array in a table. I am hoping someone out here knows what is the easiest/most efficient way of doing this. Thanks in advance. Hey guys, What would you recommend to store db values for later? the only thing I can come up with is doing it this way: $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE name='$user'"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { } { and then using the $row['dbvariable'] later is that the best way? Let's see if I can explain this ok.. Basically I have a site and the page product categories use dynamically created URL's. I want to use these URL's to put on my products so I can list all the categories each product is in. But, as these URL's are not stored anywhere I'm not sure how to go about calling them. Is the best way going to be to modify the site to store the page URL's in MySQL? Or could they be stored within variables in PHP? A little guidance would be great! Thanks in advance So, on my website, i have added a "last active" feature, so if someone is surfing the site, they can view when another users last page visit was. so, every second, +1 is added to the $ts variable what i have now, working and all, shows ONLY "NOW!", or ONLY "1 second", ONLY "___ seconds ago"... and so on I have tred over, and over, and over to fix this to my liking, with more instances available, as an example, my current script will show somebody who is 13 months and 26 days inactive, just as "1 year", i want to see the "1 year, 1 month, and 26 days inactive"... or even simpler, just so it displays days/minutes/seconds/NOW! function howlongtil($ts) { $ts=$ts - time(); if ($ts<1) // <1 second return " NOW"; elseif ($ts==1) // <1 second return $ts." second"; elseif ($ts<60) // <1 minute return $ts." seconds"; elseif ($ts<120) // 1 minute return "1 minute"; elseif ($ts<60*60) // <1 hour return floor($ts/60)." minutes"; elseif ($ts<60*60*2) // <2 hour return "1 hour"; elseif ($ts<60*60*24) // <24 hours = 1 day return floor($ts/(60*60))." hours"; elseif ($ts<60*60*24*2) // <2 days return "1 day"; elseif ($ts<(60*60*24*7)) // <7 days = 1 week return floor($ts/(60*60*24))." days"; elseif ($ts<60*60*24*30.5) // <30.5 days ~ 1 month return floor($ts/(60*60*24*7))." weeks"; elseif ($ts<60*60*24*365) // <365 days = 1 year return floor($ts/(60*60*24*30.5))." months"; else // more than 1 year return floor($ts/(60*60*24*365))." years"; }; anyone know how? Alright, the register/login system is fully working with sql injection, BUUUT now I want to store their IP Address. WHOLE new function that I've never dealt with before. So I need some help. Am I doing something wrong? I have the IPadd in the database as INT(10) and then I went down to another drop down list and hit unsigned. I feel like I'm doing something wrong with the field in the database.. { $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $IPadd; $sql = "INSERT INTO Member (username,createDate,password,firstName,email,IPadd) VALUES ('$username',NOW(),md5('$password'),'$firstName','$email',inet_aton('$IPadd'))"; mysqli_query($cxn,$sql); $_SESSION['auth']="yes"; $_SESSION['username'] = $username; header("Location: testing.php"); } Hello all, I'm having some problems with a script ive written which is designed to allow me to send a message to all the users of my site. the form works fine, the SQL works fine but im having a problem with storing php variables and outputting them in the message. The form has a field named "allmessage" which is where i'll type my message, I'll type something like "Hello $Name" and store the text as $allmessage = $_POST['allmessage']; example script //loops through each member while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($sql)) { //sets variables $ID=$row['ID']; $Name=$row['MemberName']; $Email=$row['Email']; $content_type = 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"' ; mail($Email, $allsubject, $allmessage, $content_type); } //loop ends send us a copy of the mail mail("me@me.com", $allsubject, $allmessage, $headers ); Now what I want to be outputted in the email is "Hello John" or "Hello Paul" but what I get is "Hello $Name". Any ideas?! Code: [Select] <?php $going=''; $name='<span id="name"></span>'; echo "$name"; //results : stevengoh --- wanted $going=substr($name, 1, 17); echo "$name"; //results : <span id="going"> ---- don't want ?> Is it possible to store in php the results of variable id="going" javascript instead of <span id="going"></span>?. Hi, I am struggling with a form in php. I am trying to add a form by using the include function. I want to include thsi form on all pages so it would be very useful if I can save the current page name somewhere so that I can use to validate the form. For example, this is the form I am trying to include. <?php if(!empty($errors)) { if(isset($errors['sendError'])) { echo '<p><strong class="error">There was a problem with our system please contact us directly.</strong></p>'; } else { echo '<p><strong class="error">Please check the form below for errors.</strong></p>'; } } ?> <form action="index.php" method="post" id="form1"> <p> <label><?php if(isset($errors['name'])) { echo '<span class="error">'; } ?>Name<font color="red">*</font>: <?php if(isset($errors['name'])) { echo '</span>'; } ?></label> <input id="search1" id="complete" type="text" value="<?php echo $form['name']; ?>" name="name" size="60" align="right" style="background:#EEF5A4" /> <label><?php if(isset($errors['company'])) { echo '<span class="error">'; } ?>Company: <?php if(isset($errors['company'])) { echo '</span>'; } ?></label> <input id="search1" id="complete" type="text" value="<?php echo $form['company']; ?>" name="company" size="60" align="right" /> <label><?php if(isset($errors['phone'])) { echo '<span class="error">'; } ?>Phone Number: <?php if(isset($errors['phone'])) { echo '</span>'; } ?></label> <input id="search1" id="complete" type="text" value="<?php echo $form['phone']; ?>" name="phone" size="60" align="right" /> <label><?php if(isset($errors['email'])) { echo '<span class="error">'; } ?>Email<font color="red">*</font>: <?php if(isset($errors['email'])) { echo '</span>'; } ?></label> <input id="search1" id="complete" type="text" value="<?php echo $form['email']; ?>" name="email" size="60" align="right" style="background:#EEF5A4" /> <label><?php if(isset($errors['enquiry'])) { echo '<span class="error">'; } ?>Enquiry: <?php if(isset($errors['enquiry'])) { echo '</span>'; } ?></label> <textarea id="search1" id="complete" textarea name="enquiry" rows=4 cols=40 value="<?php echo $form['enquiry']; ?>" name="enquiry" size="60" align="right"></textarea> </p> <p> <input type="submit" class="formbutton" value="Submit" /> <input type="reset" class="formbutton" value="Reset" /> </p> <p><font color="red">*</font> Denotes a required field</p> </form> Because I am going to use this form on all pages, I would like it to include whatever the filename is rather than index.php in the first line of the form so that when the user clicks submit, it will stay on the same page but validate the form based on the mandatory fields. I don't know if the question is clear. I would very much appreciate any help at all. Thank you very much. |
