PHP - Here Is Your Chance To Make Me Look A Bit Silly!!

Okay so my news script is set to view only 10 pieces of news. But I want it so that it starts a new page once I have more than 10 pieces of news.

Code: [Select]
<?php
require("functions.php");
include("dbconnect.php");

session_start();

head1();
body1();
new_temp();
sotw();
navbar();
     
$start = 0;
$display = 10;
$query = "SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $start, $display";
$result = mysql_query( $query );

if ($result) {
    while( $row = @mysql_fetch_array( $result, MYSQL_ASSOC ) ) {
        news_box( $row['news'], $row['title'], $row['user'], $row['date'], $row['id'] );
    }
    mysql_free_result($result);
} else {
    news_box( 'Could not retrieve news entries!', 'Error', 'Error', 'Error');
}
                   
footer();

mysql_close($link);
?>
I tried a few things but they failed....miserably.

$looponce = 1;
foreach ($this->info as $k => $v) {
if ( (($k == 'subject') && ($v['required'])) && (!$this->settings['customSubject'])) {
for ($i = 0; $i <= 0; $i++) {
$output[] = $this->display_errors('error_system_subject');
}
}
if ( (($k == 'name') && (!$v['required'])) || ((!array_key_exists("name", $this->info)) && ($looponce == 1)) ) {
$output[] = $this->display_errors('error_system_name');
$looponce++;
}
}

That is my loop that i check things in. What i'm more interested in is the name if statement.

If currently checks for a name key in an array(below) and makes sure that it is set to required. If it's not set to required, print out a system error and die()'s.

I'm looking for ways to remove the need for program errors and just change them to what is needed to run.

What i know how to do is, get into the inner array, what i don't know is how to edit the data and put it back exactly as it was given to me. The inner array data can be put back in any order, but the outer array must be in exact order as it was given.


above code $this->info = $formdata;

$formdata = array(
'name' => array('name'=>"Full Name", 'required'=>false, 'type'=>'text'), # This needs to be required=>true, but i can't trust the user, which is why i have the error.
'telephone' => array('name'=>"Telephone", 'required'=>false, 'type'=>'phone'),
);


Any help is greatly appreciated, also am i doing the foreach loop in the code above in an efficient manner or is there another way?

Hi there, As the question says i tried several things but i can't work it out and my knowledge about php isn't that well.

Hi I just wanted to know how I can make this....

I want to write this in PHP, I dont know the best way to do this....

I am starting a software development company, Each time someone make a purchase of a software product I wan to include a cd key, I dont know how to include just one cd key... I want to place the cdkeys in a mysql db though which I know how to do, but just the fact of me taking only one cdkey out of it and it can't be used already... it has to go down the line how would I do this?

Thanks ahead of time

I have some code which i think is really inefficient especially as there will be more more conditions to be met.

I was thinking about using s switch but don't know if this is possible or if it's best leaving as it is.

Any ideas?

if($parts[($i-1)]=="forum") {
             //do some code
             } 
             else if($parts[($i-2)]=="forum") {
             //do code
             }
             else if (($parts[($i-1)]=="list-messages") && (isset($parts[($i+1)]))) {
             //do code
             }
             else {
                  // do some code
                }

So I'm trying to make a counter that counts how many times a record on mysql database has been viewed. Not a hit counter for a webpage. In other words I have a page that displays the info of that record from the mysql database and within that page I would like to display the amount of times it has been viewed. Would anyone know where I can begin or send me to a good tutorial?

Thanks

Basically, All I want to do is save a .txt (doesn't have to be .txt) to my FTP and PHP simple echos it. The .txt is where a message is stored. But when I write the message my self like this:
Hello

This is a message.

- And then upload it to my FTP, PHP echos it like this "HelloThis is a message". Is there anyway for PHP to notice the 'white space'?

--OR--

If you know of a better way to make a message system, then also let me know

Thanks, Ollie!

I am using this line of code my site

Code: [Select]
<?php echo (IMAGES_HEADER . "header_02.jpg" ?>
I have a page defining all my directories, on that page I have this

Code: [Select]
define('IMAGES_HEADER', DIR_IMAGES . 'header/');
instead of showing the image, all I am getting is "IMAGES_HEADERheader_02.jpg" where the image should be.

I am very new to PHP and trying to learn it, what in the world am I doing wrong??

Is there a way to dynamically create subdomains like so: http://sub.example.com ?

I can do it in cPanel, but I'm not sure how I would go about doing it in PHP. I know how to create http://example.com/sub, but that isn't what I want. I don't think it would work the same as http://sub.example.com..

I'd like to make an sql request every x seconds with php. is it possible?

Hey guys. I am building a games website, and I am using ID (example: games.php?id_) to view games with their Title, SWF file to play, and their Image Icon. I am basically fetching information per game using ID that is typed in the URL after my website address containing the '?id_' or '?id='. Can somebody tell me whats wrong with the code I have bellow, because it's not working. I always get parse error (T_STRING) at line 9.


This code is inside my games.php page. It doesn't seem to work.

================================

<?php
$conn = mysql_connect("host", "username", "password");
mysql_select_db("games");
$game_id = $_GET['id'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM games WHERE id='$game_id' LIMIT 1";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
$number_of_results = mysql_num_rows($result);

    while ($result_array = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {

        $id = $result_array['fldID'];
        $title = $result_array['fldTitle'];
        $graphic = $result_array['fldIconSmall'];           // Example: game1234.png
        $swf = $result_array['fldSwfSrc'];                      // Example: game1234.swf
        $graphic_file_location = 'http://www.blabla.com/games/images/' . $graphic;
        $swf_file_location = 'http://www.blabla.com/games/' .$swf;

        echo '<a href="http://www.blabla.com/games.php?id=' . $id . '"></a>';
        echo '<h1>' . $title . '</h1>';
        echo '<img src="' . $graphic_file_location . '" width="50" height="50" border="0" />';
        echo '<object width="550" height="400">';
        echo '<param name="movie" value="' . $swf_file_location . '">';
        echo '<embed src="' . $swf_file_location . '" width="550" height="400">';
        echo '</embed>';
        echo '</object>';
       
}
?>

Any help would be appreciated since so far this script has not executed at all. I keep getting an error when executing this entire script. I can't find any errors in it either..but it just doesn't work.

ok I need to know how to do this

say I have variables.. like so

$a[] = 12345;
$a[] = 23456;
$a[] = 35424;

what do I have to do to get those variables to combine the value? and make that a variable?

so it would be like

$aCompiled = 12345,23456,35424,

puts them in a string then I can use the variable later on in the script..
