PHP - Elegant Way To Initiate Database & Other Classes In Php Page
Hi,
At the moment I have a database class which handles all my db queries and returns results etc. I also have two other classes, general and filesystem. The general class has methods that are used by parts of the site and the filesystem one handles files. To initiate them I have to use the following code: require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/mysite/_private/library/database.php'); $db = new database(); //Create database object require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/mysite/_private/library/general.php'); $gen = new general(); require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/mysite/_private/library/filesystem.php'); $file = new filesystem(); Ok so is there a way to clean this up so I don't have to include all these lines on every page? It seems every time the user goes to a new page they have to open up a new database connection. Ideally it would be good if php scanned my class files on the site and loaded them automatically rather than having to use a long require_once statements on each page. Secondly is there much point in putting the library files in the _private directory? I heard it was a bit more secure by default but that was a while ago. Many thanks! Similar TutorialsI've been spending long hours learning about classes and their magic methods. I just came across a tutorial which showed a constructor like this:
class Device { //... public function __construct(Battery $battery, $name) { // $battery can only be a valid Battery object $this->battery = $battery; $this->name = $name; // connect to the network $this->connect(); } //... }the Battery part instantly caught my attention. Here had previously made a Battery class (and a more complete Device class) but the next thing he did really caught my interest: $device = new Device(new Battery(), 'iMagic'); // iMagic connected echo $device->name; // iMagicwhat the hell is going on here? Is this another way to include the methods and properties of one class into another class, in order words is this the same thing as: class Device extends BatteryI don't think so because this new Battery() thing looks more like its creating an object inside the Device object. Previously the only way I could to that was to type $battery = new Battery() inside one of my methods. But this looks like hes doing something different. Can anyone explain whats going on here? The whole tutorial is he http://code.tutsplus...-php--net-13085 in the main Device method he has a premade $battery variable to hold the Battery object. Sometimes I have multiple classes containing functions which I'd like to include in my main class. I can only extend one class, so I usually extent a class containing only properties, no methods. I still don't know what difference making that info class abstract is, I'd appreciate if anyone could tell me. Also I'd love to know what the point in static methods is. I've never used them because I've never seen the point. Is it just to make it easier to call the methods because you don't need to create an object instance to call them? Sorry for the extra questions, the first one is what I'm really wondering about. This topic has been moved to mod_rewrite. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=347820.0 I have a standard form that displays users current data from a mysql database once logged in(code obtained from the internet). Users can then edit their data then submit it to page called editform.php that does the update. All works well except that the page does not display the updated info. Users have to first logout and login again to see the updated info. even refreshing the page does not show the new info. Please tell me where the problem is as i am new to php.
my form page test.php
<?PHP require_once("./include/membersite_config.php"); if(!$fgmembersite->CheckLogin()) { $fgmembersite->RedirectToURL("login.php"); exit; } ?> <form action="editform.php?id_user=<?= $fgmembersite->UserId() ?>" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="id_user" value="<?= $fgmembersite->UserId() ?>"><br> Name:<br> <input type="text" name="name" size="40" value="<?= $fgmembersite->UserFullName() ?>"><br><br> Email:<br> <input type="text" name="email" size="40" value="<?= $fgmembersite->UserEmail() ?> "><br><br> Address:<br> <input type="text" name="address" size="40" value="<?= $fgmembersite->UserAddress() ?> "><br><br> <button>Submit</button>my editform.php <?php $con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","user","pass"); if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error(); } mysqli_query($con,"UPDATE fgusers3 SET name = '".$_POST['name']."', email= '".$_POST['email']."', address= '".$_POST['address']."' WHERE id_user='".$_POST['id_user']."'"); header("Location: test.php"); ?> Not sure how to describe what I'm trying to do here in the title, but here goes with what I am trying to accomplish. I've got a few hundred lines of code in total so far, so I'll try to keep it as short as I can. I've got an application that I am programming using classes for each module and right now I am coding the base classes that I need in order for it to run (database, errors, logging, etc). What I'm doing for my database class is I have a query factory and it extends the MySQLi class so I can process, clean and code the rest of my app faster. I also have another, unrelated class "Error", which will be used for processing errors I might come across. I'd rather do it this way instead of having to call trigger_error and error_log every time there is an error. I'd also not like to have to call a new instance of an object every time I need to use something from that class. Is there any way I can call a class within a class and return it as an object for all the methods within the class? I've tried the methods below, but no luck I've tried others, but I'm trying to keep it brief and get what I'm trying to do across. <?php class QueryFactory extends MySQLi { public $err = new error(); //Doesn't work. public $err = error(); //Nope. #This is the function that I need the $err object for. function set($fields, $newvals) { if ( is_array($fields) && is_array($newvals) ) { if ( count($fields) != count($newvals) ) { //Instead of below, I want to do something like $err->('Array lengths must match for method', 256, $islogged = 1); trigger_error('Array lengths must match for method', 256); } } } } The thing is, I have a "run.inc.php" which does include and create new objects for running just the basic app and if I try to redeclare the error class in query.class.php, it gives me an error saying I can't do that, but if i try to call $err from the page that has all the classes defined it throws an error saying that my method is undeclared. I'd like my error class be available to every other class I create so I can display and log errors as needed. Any suggestions or links to point me where I'd like to go? Hello everyone,
I new to the php world and I'm only working with it for 5 days now. So I'm a noob
But I've got a good start atm, I already could connect a database with my webpage and show all my coloms I need.
Now I got a problem with the fact, my database is way to big to display on 1 page. To much load-time, so that's the reason why I want to split up all my products.
20 for each page, like in this tutorial: http://www.phpjabber...hp25.html?err=1
I think I'm almost there, my problem is that when I click on the number from the next page (like nr 5), it doesn't show my next 20 products.
But when I look to the url, that seems ok, because I get something like this; index.php?page=1
Can someone help me to find out, what I did wrong? And plz, remember, if you give me an answer, plz keep it short and simple. I'm a noob at this.
This is my code:
<?php include('connect-mysql.php'); if (!empty($_GET["page"])) { $page = $_GET["page"]; } else { $page=1; }; $start_from = ($page-1) * 20; $sqlget = "SELECT * FROM artikel, images LIMIT 0, 20 "; $sqldata = mysqli_query($dbcon, $sqlget) or die('error getting'); echo "<table>"; echo "<tr><th>A_ARTCODE</th><th>A_NUMMER</th><th>A_OMSCHRN</th><th>A_REFLEV</th><th>A_WINKEL</th><th>I_ARTCODE</th><th>I_FILE</th></tr>"; while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($sqldata)){ echo "<tr><td align='right'>"; echo $row['A_ARTCODE']; echo "</td><td align='left'>"; echo $row['A_NUMMER']; echo "</td><td align='left'>"; echo $row['A_OMSCHRN']; echo "</td><td align='left'>"; echo $row['A_REFLEV']; echo "</td><td align='right'>"; echo $row['A_WINKEL']; echo "</td><td align='right'>"; echo $row['I_ARTCODE']; echo "</td><td align='right'>"; echo $row['I_FILE']; //echo "<img src='000000-001000".$row['I_ID']."' />"; echo "</td></tr>"; } echo "</table>"; $sql = "SELECT COUNT(A_ARTCODE) FROM artikel"; $rs_result = mysqli_query($dbcon, $sql) or die ("mysqli query dies"); $row = mysqli_fetch_row($rs_result) or die ("mysqli fetch row dies"); $total_records = $row[0]; $total_pages = ceil($total_records / 20); for ($i=1; $i<=$total_pages; $i++) { echo "<a href='index.php?page=".$i."'>".$i."</a> "; }; ?>I hope someone can help me.

I've been watching a tutorial and seeing some site references regarding connecting to a sql database using php. Since it contains a password to the database, my question is, how secure is this page on a webserver, or does it not even matter since the code is so specific to the website and the database it is connecting to.
Thank you in advance. Hi A really basic question, with regards to best practice, but I can't find an answer anywhere. Should the charset in my website be set to match the charset used by my database? E.g. Database is utf-8, so website should be set to utf-8? hi all, i have a profile page which is a form that asks users to enter there personal details such as name, location, mobile number etc and saves this info with a mysql database, however when you return to the edit profile page the fields are blank and i want them to pull the details the user has entered (if any) and display it, so if a user entered there name as Lee, then returned to the edit profile page there name field would show lee instead of being empty. heres my profiles page code, any help would be great Code: [Select] <?PHP session_start(); if (!(isset($_SESSION['username']) && $_SESSION['username'] != '')) { header ("Location: login.php"); } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <!-- Author: Reality Software Website: http://www.realitysoftware.ca Note: This is a free template released under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, which means you can use it in any way you want provided you keep the link to the author intact. --> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title></title> <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <style type="text/css"> .auto-style2 { font-size: 25px; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <!-- header --> <div id="header"> <div id="logo"><a href="#"><span class="orange">SouthWest</span> LAN's</a></div> <div id="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="index.php">home</a></li> <li><a href="register.php">Register</a></li> <li><a href="account.php">My Account</a></li> <li><a href="forum.php">Forums</a></li> <li><a href="faq.php">FAQ</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <!--end header --> <!-- main --> <div id="main"> <div id="content"> <div id="head_image"> <div id="slogan"><strong><span class="auto-style2">Organising LAN Parties in the SouthWest</span></strong><br /></div> <div id="under_slogan_text"></div> </div> <div id="text"> <h1>Edit Profile</h1> <br /> <form name="register" method="post" action="process_p.php"> <table border="0" width="225" align="center"> <tr> <td width="219" bgcolor="#999999"> <p align="center"><font color="white"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Please fill out as much as possible</span></font></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="219"> <table border="0" width="282" align="center"> <tr> <td width="116"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Username: </span></td> <td width="156"><?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="116"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Email: </span></td> <td width="156"><input type="text" name="email" maxlength="30"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="116"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Real Name: </span></td> <td width="156"><input type="text" name="real_name"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="116"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Location: </span></td> <td width="156"><input type="text" name="location"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="116"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Mobile Number: </span></td> <td width="156"><input type="text" name="mobile_number"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="116"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Instant Messager: </span></td> <td width="156"><input type="text" name="instant_messaging"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="116"> </td> <td width="156"> <p align="right"><input type="submit" name="update" value="Update Profile"></p> </td> </tr> </table> Hello people, I have created an application in Code Charge where my site users can login and play games online.The game code is run via flash and html.

I am still a novice in the programming industry, and is still seeking help from my colleagues and of course forum sites like phpdn. I have an existing code which my friend provided me. I have already done some modifications with the code. I have a problem though with the code, it executes database query upon loading of the page. I do understand how the code works, however, I am not able to modify the code to disallow the execution of query upon loading of page. Here is the code: <?PHP include("dbconnection.php"); $query = "SELECT * FROM records"; if(isset($_POST["btnSearch"])) { $query .= " WHERE last_name LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%' OR first_name LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR territory LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR job_title LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR title LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR employer LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%' " ; } $result = mysql_query($query, $connection) or die(mysql_error()); ?> I do know that this php code, the way it is written, is supposed to do that - to select data from my database (This code was provided by a friend). But my requirement for the project is actually to give it a search engine and display the information based from the search query. I have a search engine already together with the code, and it works pretty well. What I must do is to disallow the pulling of data from the first load, but just pull data if the search engine is used. Here's the whole code: <link href="add_client.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <?PHP include("dbconnection.php"); $query = "SELECT * FROM records"; if(isset($_POST["btnSearch"])) { $query .= " WHERE last_name LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%' OR first_name LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR territory LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR job_title LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR title LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%'OR employer LIKE '%".$_POST["search"]."%' " ; } $result = mysql_query($query, $connection) or die(mysql_error()); ?> <table width="760" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td><table width="760" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="199" align="center" valign="top"><a href="login.html"><img src="asia.gif" alt="" width="152" height="58" border="0" /></a> <script type="text/javascript" src="menu.js"></script></td> <td width="176" align="right" valign="bottom"><a href="main.php"><img src="Home.jpg" width="104" height="20" border="0"/></a></td> <td width="130" align="right" valign="bottom"><img src="View.jpg" width="104" height="20" border="0"/></td> <td width="146" align="right" valign="bottom"><a href="add_client.php"><img src="Add.jpg" width="104" height="20" border="0"/></a></td> <td width="109" align="right" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td><table width="760" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="200" height="3" bgcolor="#1B1C78"><img src="images/topspacerblue.gif" alt="" width="1" height="3" /></td> <td width="560" bgcolor="#0076CC"><img src="images/topspacerlblue.gif" alt="" width="1" height="3" /></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="553" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#F3FAFE"><br /> <form name="form" action="view_client.php" method="post"> <table width="351" border="0"> <tr> <td width="137" align="left" valign="middle">SEARCH RECORD:</td> <td width="144" align="center" valign="middle"><input type="text" name="search" /></td> <td width="56" align="left" valign="middle"><input type="submit" name="btnSearch" value="Search" /></td> </tr> </table> <br /> <table width="680" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bordercolor="38619E" > <tr> <th width="100" align="center" bgcolor="#E0E8F3">Territory</th> <th width="110" align="center" bgcolor="#E0E8F3">Employer</th> <th width="110" align="center" bgcolor="#E0E8F3">Job Title</th> <th width="50" align="center" bgcolor="#E0E8F3">Title</th> <th width="110" align="center" bgcolor="#E0E8F3">First Name</th> <th width="110" align="center" bgcolor="#E0E8F3">Last Name</th> <th width="70" align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="#E0E8F3"> </th> </tr> <?php if($result) { for($i=0; $i<mysql_num_rows($result); $i++) { $id = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "id")); $territory = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "territory")); $employer = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "employer")); $job_title = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "job_title")); $title = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "title")); $first_name = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "first_name")); $last_name = trim(mysql_result($result, $i, "last_name")); echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>".$territory."</td>"; echo "<td>".$employer."</td>"; echo "<td>".$job_title."</td>"; echo "<td>".$title."</td>"; echo "<td>".$first_name."</td>"; echo "<td>".$last_name."</td>"; echo "<td><a href='admin_edit.php?id=".$id."'>edit</a> | <a href='admin_delete.php?id=".$id."'>del</a> </td>"; echo "</tr>"; } } ?> </table> <br /> </form> <p> </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="38"><table width="760" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="200" height="35" align="center" bgcolor="#1B1C78" class=white><img src="images/topspacerblue.gif" alt="" width="1" height="3" /> <a href="disclaimer.html"><font color="#FFFFFF">Legal Disclaimer</font></a> </td> <td width="560" align="center" bgcolor="#0076CC" class=white><img src="images/topspacerlblue.gif" alt="" width="1" height="3" /> Copyright © 2006 - 2010 Limited.

I don't know why the update won't go through... there are no errors.... As we know the total number of hits to database is proportional to the number of page views if page views * queries per page is more than the capacity of your database, then mysql queries may show problem. is there any way to calculate the database capacity ? I googled someone says 128Mb cache is there for mysql. Sorry for my bad english but i hope you would understand my query. How can i set 404 not found for database driven pages..? I am using header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found"); in my 404 error page and ErrorDocument 404 /404.html, whereas 404.html is my error page. i have an URL http://www.example.com/folder/my-test-for-url-95/ which is opening correctly because it has existence on database. but when i am opening http://www.example.com/folder/my-test-for-url-951/ which has existence on database is also opening without any information but i want here a 404 not found page. How can i do so. Thanks Is there anyway of saving data to phpmyadmin, and linking it to another page with one button. I can do it separately but I can't seem to do it using one button. Does anyone has any ideas! I need help trying to figure out why my form won't write the database it is supposed to - i checked the connection to the database and it works and the user seems to have permission to edit database - the error I get is "Error: User not added to database." from "register.php". Can someone please look over my code and see if the problem is coming from somewhere within?
I created a connection file (connect.php)

If i have the following at the top of the page: $page_views = $row['page_views'] + 1; mysql_query("UPDATE table SET page_views='$page_views'"); and then the following at the bottom of the page: echo $row['page_views']; Should I see the page views as 1 the first time the page is visited, 2 the second time the page is visited, and so on......? At the moment im seeing 0 on the first page visit, 1 on the second page visit, 2 on the third..... I had this problem before on another page i was working, and i simply solved it by displaying the mysql query above the echo similar to the code above. However now it does not seem to be working. Am i missing something really simple? lol Thanks hiii all, i want to show the database field (alise name) as the url after index.php when page or site loads first time. how i can achieve it? please help.... thanks in advance I am using the dragdrop functionality on a page which also updates the database.Drag and drop is working fine But i am having difficulty to determine which events to use to update the database. Here is my code

There is one box on the right side with heading "Question Bank". From the "Question Bank" we can drag the questions to other boxes but can't do the reverse(this is also working). Also we can sort the questions within the box or drag the questions from one box to another. Box heading are the categories and items are questions associated to that categories. What i need is : Event that updates the database when we drag the questions from "Question Bank" to any box on the left side. Please note Questions in the "Question Bank" are pre created coming from database. Event that updates the database when we sort the questions within the box. Event that updates the database when we drag the question from one box to another box. it should also do the sorting for that two boxes. Event that updates the database when we sort the boxes. Here is the JS Fiddle link jsfiddle.net/6o30rrzx Question Bank is comming on the bottom of the page instead of on the right side any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated Thank you for reading this post. How can i get my class to be showed on the front page here is the front page <?php require('ex2.php'); $start = new A(); $tart->Display(); ?> now here is ex2.php <?php ini_set('display_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL); class A { public $title = "test1"; public $end = "test2"; } function __set($name, $value) { $this->$name = $value; } function Display() { echo $title; echo $end; } ?> shoudn't this print test1 and test2 ? |
