PHP - Quote Database Link
Hey, I just wondered if someone could help me with this small problem?
Here's the code: <?php if($_GET['act'] == "generate_quotes") { $db = mysql_connect("*", "*", "*") or die ("Unable to connect to database."); mysql_select_db("quote") or die ("Unable to select database."); $offset_result = mysql_query( " SELECT FLOOR(RAND() * COUNT(*)) AS `offset` FROM `quote` "); $offset_row = mysql_fetch_object( $offset_result ); $offset = $offset_row->offset; $result = mysql_query( " SELECT * FROM `quote` LIMIT $offset, 1 " ); $fetch = mysql_fetch_array($result); echo "<blockquote>".$fetch['q_quote']; mysql_close($db); } else { echo "<img src=\"1.png\">"; } ?> <a href='gen.php?act=generate_quotes'>Generate</a> Basically what it does is shows an image until a link is clicked, then the image disappears and some quotes are generated in it's place. When you click the link, sure enough, the image disappears and the quotes are read from the database. But after that the link doesn't change the quote. [it's meant to randomly cycle through the quotes in the database]. The quote still changes when refreshing the page, but this link: <a href='gen.php?act=generate_quotes'>Generate</a> does nothing after 'generate_quotes' has been set. any ideas how to fix this? thanks in advance.

I have a bit of a problem. When I fetch the link field from the database.i don't see an actual link on the page.
One more thing, what type of field should I use to store the link in the database? Probably there is where I went wrong.
All help is

Many thanks Hey guys!, Any help is greatly appreciated! what i want to do is store a link to a pdf file which will open the file when clicked. just now when clicked will only open the file name but not with the extension .pdf? Thanks! Hello all! I am somewhat new to PHP and SQL, but I think I have a basic understanding of how the language works. I have read through a million different websites and forums, and have tried a million different ways but am just not getting anywhere! This is what I am trying to do... I have a text link that I want to click through to an outside URL from my website. This outside URL was already entered into an SQL database, and I just cant seem to get the text link to bring up the outside URL from the database. This is what I have so far... 1.) My webpage that I am working on is www.mywebsite.com/articles.php 2.) I want the text "Read more..." on this webpage to click through to an outside URL, like "http://www.google.com", which was already entered into an SQL database under the title of "article_link" in a new window 3.) So I would like for "Read more..." to click through the outside URL that was entered into "article_link" in the database Code: [Select] <?php echo <p><a href="\' . $article_link . '\" target="_blank">Read more...</a></p>; ?> Nothing I have tried has worked so far, nothing clicks through to the outside URL in the "article_link" entry from the database. Sorry if I am being redundant, I have been at this all day! Please help and thank you in advance!! Hi all, I find myself in need again on PHP coding and the support last time was outstanding (no creeping here) so I am trying my luck again! I am trying to use a HREF link (lots of individual ones) to search a Mysql database and return the results in a PHP page. Example of HREF links on the page are he https://flighteducation.co.uk/Create.html and in theory you click a career and it 'gets' and 'shows' the data from the database he https://flighteducation.co.uk/Careers.php so, you click the 'Animator' link ->it goes to my database and drags back all the data to the Careers.php page
So far this is what I have managed to not get right: HTML (screen shot added/attached Links.png)
<a href="Careers Results.php?jobTitle=Animator"> PHP
$id = $_GET['jobTitle']; if( (int)$id == $id && (int)$id > 0 ) { $link = mysqli_connect('localhost','MYUSERNAME','MYPASSWORD','MYDATABASE'); // Connect to Database if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysqli_connect_error()); } $sql='SELECT * FROM careers WHERE jobTitle=' .$id; $result = mysqli_query($link,$sql); $row = mysqli_fetch_array($result); echo $row['jobTitle']; echo $row['jobDescription']; } else { echo "Record NOT FOUND"; } Up to now the code returns "Record NOT FOUND" so it is passing through the php to the end. I am new to PHP and trying to get my head around it all, and in theory this is the kind php code that I should be looking at, but I am still very new to it!! Any help or advice very much appreciated again!!!
Thanks
I have finaly got my removing recods page working, but i do have one problem... i have a delete button which goes to a new php page which contains the DELETE FROM, this deletes the record automaticaly. There are two paths which i could choose from the problem is i am stuck on both of them. 1. a link that will activate the delete code. 2. once the record has been deleted then it will automaticaly go back the the first page. can any one help me here please? <html> <?php include connect.inc; $id = $_GET['id']; mysql_query("UPDATE count SET clicks=clicks+1 WHERE id='$id'"); $sql = mysql_query("SELECT link FROM count WHERE id='$id'"); $fetch = mysql_fetch_row($sql); $result = mysql_query($sql); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "Name :{$row['id']} <br>" .

I can do it separately but I can't seem to do it using one button. Does anyone has any ideas! I just finished adding the ability to add Comments after Articles on my website. Now it would be nice if people could Quote other Posts/Comments juts like you can do here on PHPFreaks. The problem is that I have this code to eliminate any security issues with HTML... echo ' <div class="userPost"> <span class="commentDate">Posted on: ' . date('Y-m-d g:ia', strtotime($createdOn)) . '</span> <span class="commentNo">#' . $commentCount . '</span> <p>' . nl2br(htmlentities($comments, ENT_QUOTES)) . '</p> </div>'; Any suggestions to have it both ways? Thanks, Debbie I need some help working out this MySQL query:
I need it to pull a random quote, that hasn't been used before (that's the 'checked' part of the query), and it needs to find it based on a specific category. I am using this alongside PHP with MySQLI Prepared method.
SELECT `id`, `word`, `def` FROM `dictionary` AS `r1` JOIN (SELECT (RAND() * (SELECT MAX(`id`) FROM `dictionary`)) AS `id`) AS `r2` WHERE `r1`.`id` >= `r2`.`id` AND `category`=? AND `checked`=0 ORDER BY `r1`.`id` ASC LIMIT 1This query yields an error stating that the id column is ambiguous. Hi, I'm trying to delete a string that's single quoted. From: Cyto's to Cyto, but doesn't work. It works when I add 's to the string with stripslashes, but I can't seem to delete a quote from a string. Does someone know how? My $_post code: Code: [Select] $name=mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_POST["ename"])); Cheers If this were an example post in a forum: Code: [Select] $post = '[quote author=james]hello this is a quote[/quote] here is some mor text between the next coming quote [quote author=david]hello this is another quote[/quote]'; What is the best way to replace the [quotes author=x] with opening html tag eg: Code: [Select] <div class="quote"><div class="quoteTitle">author=x</div> And then determine if the next is a [/quote ] is an opener or close quote? And then of course there is the issue of the user deleting a [/quote] or even placing a [/quote] before an open quote... Does anyone know of an example to look at? Good Day everyone. I'm looking at creating a quote calculator, it will be like a form with questions about what the user wants to buy or quote and will give out a number in dollars based on what product the user selects from a drop down list. Example: What sandwich would you like to buy? (List Items) Price:(prices will be echo here). 1. Roast beef 2. Chicken 3. vegetable 4. Fish Now if the user selects Roast Beef, the price of the Roast Beef sandwich will be echo or printed. What would you like on your sandwich? (Check boxes must be use because user may need more then one condiment added.) 1. Ketchup 2. Cheese 3. Mustard 4. Lettuce Now if the user add ketchup, Cheese, ect, the price will add to the price of the sandwich and echo a total. Would you like a drink with your order? Again check boxes, user can select more then one drink, price added and totaled. 1. Diet Coke 2. Sprite 3. Root Beer 4. Mountain Dew. Also I need to be able to change the prices of each product in the script. The user does not see the price. The price only becomes visible when the item selected and added to the total. I would like to do this myself but novice to php, I have never done this kind of script befor and have been searching for tutorials and other resources but nothing close to this. Does anybody know where I can find an example, tutorials? Thanks everyone. IC So I am trying to make my life easier at work. I have this idea that I can automate the sales quote via a simple website. I have the entire product list in MySQL and I can query for the individual catagories etc etc and get them to display. The display shows the SKU, Description, Price, and a third field to select quantity. The issue is that once they select a quantity of a paticular line item I need that line item (sku, description, and price fields) to be carried over to the final quote page where the math is done. Not sure how to key the paticular line item fields off the quantity field. Any ideas greatly appreciated... Code: [Select] <?php $query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_prods WHERE cat = 'fruit'"; $target = mysql_query($query); confirm_query($target); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($target)) { ?> <form action="quoter.php" method="POST"> <tr> <td><input name="sku" type="text" value="<?php echo $row[sku]; ?>" size="20" /></td> <td><textarea name="desc" cols="150" rows="2"><?php echo $row[desc]; ?></textarea></td> <td><input name="price" type="text" value="<?php echo $row[price]; ?>" size="20" /></td> <td><input name="quantity" type="text" value="0" size="3" maxlength="2" /></td> </tr> <?php } ?> </table> <input type="hidden" name="cust" value="<?php echo $cust; ?>"></p> <input type="hidden" name="reg" value="<?php echo $region; ?>"></p> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></p> </form> Hi, I am trying to send input Don't, can't or anything else which contains '. But Ajax sends it like: t_name=Don%27t&_=1589636831048 and then I got an error while trying to insert to mysql. I only have problem with '. I tried lots of thing but something is missing. I couldn't figure it out. Could somebody help me? My Ajax: var t_name = document.getElementById(mydiv).value; $.ajax( { type: "GET", url: './api/objects/add.php', async:false, cache:false, contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=ISO-8859-1", dataType: 'json', data: { t_tsk: id, t_name: t_name }, success: function (result) { }, error: function(xhr, status, error) { document.getElementById("errorDiv").hidden = false; if (xhr.responseText) { } else { } } }); My url when I write don't to input area: /add.php?t_tsk=1&t_name=Don%27t&_=1589636831048 My php code: <?php // include database and object files include_once '../config/database.php'; include_once '../objects/myObject.php'; // get database connection $database = new Database(); $db = $database->getConnection(); $myObject = new MyObject($db); $myObject->t_id = isset($_GET['t_tsk']) ? $_GET['t_tsk'] : die(); $myObject->name = isset($_GET['t_name']) ? utf8_decode($_GET['t_name']) : die(); if($myObject->create()){ http_response_code(200); $myObject_arr=array( "status" => true, "message" => "Successfully created!", "id" => $myObject->id, "name" => $myObject->name ); } else{ http_response_code(401); $myObject_arr=array( "status" => false, "message" => "Error!" ); } print_r(json_encode($myObject_arr)); ?> Thank you all. While playing with some code, I wrote these few lines of script. $_SESSION["favcolor"] = green; echo "Session variable is ". $_SESSION["favcolor"] ;
I tested the code and everything worked fine. I corrected the code $_SESSION["favcolor"] = "green"; But when I tested it, the page would not open/load.
Then I removed the quote marks and restored the line to it's original state $_SESSION["favcolor"] = green; And things worked fine.
Shouldn't the quote marks be required? I am making a simple script for my friend that uses mod_rewrite, but for testing I don't use the mod_rewrite link. The page is video.php The extension is ?title= I have having a problem when I type the title with a Single Quote in it('). Example. video.php?title=The-Sorcerer's-Apprentice I have str_replace for the dash(-) to be replaced as a space, so that's not the problem. Here's my code. <?php if($_GET) { $title="{$_GET['title']}"; $title = str_replace('_', ' ', $title); $title = str_replace('-', ' ', $title); if ($list = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM videos WHERE title='". mysql_real_escape_string($title) ."'") or die (mysql_error())); { if(mysql_num_rows($list) > 0){ if (mysql_num_rows($list)) { while($videos=mysql_fetch_array($list)) { ?> <div id="content"> <center><h3><?php echo $videos['title']; ?></h3> <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="<?php echo $videos['youtubelink']; ?>"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="<?php echo $videos['youtubelink']; ?>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> <br/><br/><a onclick="javascript:history.go(-1)" href="#">Go Back</a> </center> </div> <?php } } } ?> I have a form that people can fill out, and then it echos the string, however right now they can't use single quotes. Below is how I have it settup. Code: [Select] $side = '<p>About Me:</p> <ul> <li>Birth Date: October, 23rd, 2010</li> <li>Hometown: Rapid City, SD</li> <li>Height: 4\'</li> <li>Weight: 50lbs</li> <li>Foot Size: 4</li> <li>Favorite Movie: All of the Shrek Movies!</li> <li>Favorite Book: Winnie the Pooh Series</li> <li>Favorite Cartoon Character: Eeyore or Donkey from Shrek!</li> <li>Favorite TV Show: Anything on Animal Planet!</li> <li>Favorite Food: Hay</li> <li>Favorite Pro Sports Team: Rapid City Rush</li> <li>Favorite Mascot: Nugget, of course!</li> <li>Favorite Game: Donkey Kong!<br /> </li> </ul>'; if ($side != NULL){ echo "<div class=\"grid_6\" id=\"tertiary\"> $side </div>"; }else{ } And I would be able to use $side = "whatever I want to write"; because then they would still need to escape the double quotes with \" if they wanted to put in a link or anything. How do I do this with allowing them to just use single quotes when they enter their data so they don't have to \' (escape the single quote)? Thanks |
