PHP - How To Enable Auto-updation Through Php Like In Facebook
Hi, surely all of us have seen the auto-instant notifications in Facebook, or that comments appear automatically in a page while we are still on that page without page refresh. Can anybody give me an outline of how is it accomplished? If it were the other way around, like the user inputs something in the page, that data could be sent to the server through Ajax and a server side PHP script could update the database accordingly. But how can it be accomplished in the reverse manner also, that when some user does something in one page of a website, its notification is propagated to another page of the site open on some other computer instantly?
Similar TutorialsHi all, In typical bank web sites there are information regarding their account types. A seperate page is there to view interest rates of all accounts maintain by the bank. These interest rates are subject to change. Can anyone knows a similar php coding related with this updation of interest rates? Thank you, Heshan. So a project I have simply to learn how it is done is to make an auto updating sitemap with a auto submitter. I have been doing a little research on sitemaps but haven't found much in the way of a tutorial or white paper or similar, anyway I was wondering if I am on the right track or not. What I was thinking for the auto-updating sitemap is since site maps are XML, when an article is published using my custom CMS/Blogging system, I make it rewrite the sitemap appending the new URL that will be generated. Then for the auto-submit, I can either make it a cron job or just manual press, but it would go though a for list of URLs, replacing the end part with my site map url. I think that is how it would be done. If you have a better idea, or can point out an article so I can understand a lot more with sitemaps, I will appreciate it, I am trying to learn as much as possible, I have gone to the offical website (sitemaps.org) but it doesn't have what I am looking for. Thanks, James //php code <?php include_once('con.php'); if(!empty($_GET['search'])) { $search = $connect->prepare('SELECT * FROM posts WHERE title LIKE :search'); $search->bindValue(':search', '%'.$_GET['search'].'%', PDO::PARAM_STR); $search->execute(); ?> <?php while($row = $search->fetch()) {?> <li class="result" onClick="searchValue('<?php echo $row['title'];?>')"><?php echo $row['title'];?></li> <?php } ?> <?php } ?> //ajax $('#inputsch').keyup(function(){ $.ajax({ type: 'GET', url: 'fetch.php', data:'search='+$(this).val(), success: function(data){ $('#box').show(); $('#box').html(data); } }); }); }); function searchValue(val) { $('#inputsch').val(val); $('#box').hide(); } //search box <form action="search.php"> <input id="inputsch" type="text" name="search" placeholder="search..." autocomplete="off" autofocus> <button type="submit" value="search" >search</button> </form> <div id="box"></div> //the problem here is when i click the result is only added to input, but i want it to autosubmit
By default, PHP comes with some extensions disabled. Question 1: Is there a command (via command-line) to enable ALL extensions? Question 2: Are there any drawbacks to having all extensions enabled (e.g. slows it down, conflicts, etc.)? Thank you. I have a "system" setup for posting some feedback questions on an internal website. I have it setup to read a field "enabled" which has a 1 or 0. 0=disabled, 1=enabled The script works if I manually change that field, ie it reads the correct question. But need a way to have the questions listed then the one that needs to be shown on the site selected to be enabled on an admin page. Something like a list with checkboxes or radio buttons? How can I have one enabled and make sure the rest are not to prevent multiple questions being enabled?

I ve been having trouble processing form data to the same page as the do on facebook comments. Can php scripts do that. Help me guys!! I'm trying to utilize a PHP script to parse a large XML file (around 450 MB) to MYSQL database into certain structure and definitions of included XML elements. The problem is that the original script uses file_get_contents and SimpleXMLElement to get it done, but the corn job executed by the server halts due to the volume of the XML file. I'm no PHP expert, so I bought this XMLSplit software and divided the XML into 17 separated XML files each at size of 30 MB, parsed them one by one using the same script. However, the output database was missing a lot of input, and I have serious doubts whether this would be the same output of the original file if left not divided automatically and parsed one by one.
So, I've decided to use XMLReader with this exact PHP script to parse this big XML file, but so far I couldn't manage to simply replace the parsing code and keep other functionality intact.
I'm including the script below, I'd really appreciate if someone helps me to do so.
<?php set_time_limit(0); ini_set('memory_limit', '1024M'); include_once('../db.php'); include_once(DOC_ROOT.'/include/func.php'); mysql_query("TRUNCATE screenshots_list"); mysql_query("TRUNCATE pages"); mysql_query("TRUNCATE page_screenshots"); // This is the part I need help with to change into XMLReader instead of utilized function, to enable parsing of the large XML file correctly (while keeping rest of the script code as is if possible): $xmlstr = file_get_contents('t_info.xml'); $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr); foreach ($xml->template as $item) { //print_r($item); $sql = sprintf("REPLACE INTO templates SET id = %d, state = %d, price = %d, exc_price = %d, inserted_date = '%s', update_date = '%s', downloads = %d, type_id = %d, type_name = '%s', is_flash = %d, is_adult = %d, width = '%s', author_id = %d, author_nick = '%s', package_id = %d, is_full_site = %d, is_real_size = %d, keywords = '%s', sources = '%s', description = '%s', software_required = '%s'", $item->id, $item->state, $item->price, $item->exc_price, $item->inserted_date, $item->update_date, $item->downloads, $item->template_type->type_id, $item->template_type->type_name, $item->is_flash, $item->is_adult, $item->width, $item->author->author_id, $item->author->author_nick, $item->package->package_id, $item->is_full_site, $item->is_real_size, $item->keywords, $item->sources, $item->description, $item->software_required); //echo '<br>'.$sql; mysql_query($sql); //print_r($item->screenshots_list->screenshot); foreach ($item->screenshots_list->screenshot as $scr) { $main = (!empty($scr->main_preview)) ? 1 : 0; $small = (!empty($scr->small_preview)) ? 1 : 0; insert_data($item->id, 'screenshots_list', 0, $scr->uri, $scr->filemtime, $main, $small); } foreach ($item->styles->style as $st) { insert_data($item->id, 'styles', $st->style_id, $st->style_name); } foreach ($item->categories->category as $cat) { insert_data($item->id, 'categories', $cat->category_id, $cat->category_name); } foreach ($item->sources_available_list->source as $so) { insert_data($item->id, 'sources_available_list', $so->source_id, ''); } foreach ($item->software_required_list->software as $soft) { insert_data($item->id, 'software_required_list', $soft->software_id, ''); } //print_r($item->pages->page); if (!empty($item->pages->page)) { foreach ($item->pages->page as $p) { mysql_query(sprintf("REPLACE INTO pages SET tpl_id = %d, name = '%s', id = NULL ", $item->id, $p->name)); $page_id = mysql_insert_id(); if (!empty($p->screenshots->scr)) { foreach ($p->screenshots->scr as $psc) { $href = (!empty($psc->href)) ?

Almost there, got the main/basic features all done, however i've got one piece of code which is really bugging me, don't worry about it being messy and horribley coded. I will be improving and optimising it every chance i get once i've got this down. it's on the main page, i want it to display all recent status' that have been made, i can display them however i think i've bugg'd the SQL somewhere and it's driving my crazy, any help would be greatly appriciated Thanks Code: [Select] <?php $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM statuses ORDER BY id DESC"); $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM statuses LEFT JOIN users ON statuses.userid = users.id"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)) { $status_id = $row['id']; $status = $row['status']; $time_posted = $row['time_posted']; $sql2 = mysql_query("SELECT username,avatar_url FROM users WHERE id=$userid LIMIT 1"); while ($row2=mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $usernamestatus = $row2['username']; $avatar_url = $row2['avatar_url']; echo '<div id="content">'; echo "<img src='/photos/$usernamestatus/$avatar_url' height='50px' width='50px' />"; echo "<a href=\"profile.php?id=$userid\">". $usernamestatus ."</a>"; echo "<br />"; echo $status; echo " <span class=x><a href=delete_status.php?id=$status_id>x</a></span>"; echo "<br />"; echo time_ago($time_posted); echo "<br />"; echo "<br />"; echo "</div>"; } } } ?> I dont no if this should even go here but here it goes. I created a blog were each blog post is veiwed on the same page in regards to the id passed to it (as standard). What i really need to do is incorporate the facebook comment box onto the page but... it only relates to the document itself rather than it's dynamic content. Hi, I'm having problems with my phpbb forum/facebook coding. I have recently put Facebook Share links in my forum... The facebook 'Share' links(buttons), are attached to every post viewable within th eforum, and link to: http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://www.mywebsite.com/facebook/share-fb.php?postNo=" . $postrow[$i]['post_id'].'&title='.$userdata['username'].'%20on%20facebook!!' --> where '$userdata['username']' username of forum user ..and '$postrow[$i]['post_id']' = the id of the forum post, to be processed by share-fb.php So as according to he http://developers.facebook.com/docs/share under the Basics section, I will be able to control the thumbnail, title and content from Quote You can control the exact title, description, and thumbnail that Facebook Share uses by adding the following meta tags to the <head> element in your page: So the url looks like this: http://www.anclchess.net/facebook/share.php?postNo=65914&title=My%20Names%20on%20facebook!!Title%20of%20post There are 2 major problems. 1) I am passing the post number identity via URL.. which means anyone wanting to view posts they may not have permissions to view, would simply need to change the share.php?postNo=65914&title= and they would have access.. and 2) The the thumbnail, title and content don't seem to work.. I cant figure out why.. see below This is 'share-fb.php': <?php define('IN_PHPBB', true); // allows infomation to be passed to external page, such as '$userdata['username'] '(username) $phpbb_root_path = '../forum/'; include($phpbb_root_path .

This post should be posted via PHP when I add a post to my site, without manually adding that on Facebook Page. I referred Facebook Developer documentations, but those are really mess for me. I really don't want this to do with php-sdk or any other. I want to do this manually. Thanks I'm trying to add Facebook connect to my new app, but I'm not sure where to really start. I looked through a lot of the facebook documentation, but I haven't been able to find any really good implementation suggestions. I just want basic functionality. Hi there! First, i must say that i have no php knowledge, maybe a 1% Here is what i want to do: I have wordpress, with a plugin called Facebook connect, it has a cool feature where you can invite your facebook friends, it looks like this: http://dailyerz.com/login/?fbconnect_action=invite And i am also using cubepoints, a plugin that rewards users with points. I want to reward users for every user they invite. From the cube points docs http://techcube.net/docs/1.3/docs.html i got this: Quote The following code will add 10 points to the current logged in user. If no user is logged in, no points will be added. You may input negative number to subtract points. <php if( function_exists('cp_alterPoints') && is_user_logged_in() ){ cp_alterPoints(cp_currentUser(), 10); } ?> and the invite.php of facebook connect looks like this: <?php get_header(); $fb_user = fb_get_loggedin_user(); ?> <div style="padding:20px;" > <?php if(FBCONNECT_CANVAS=="web") : ?> <fb:serverfbml style="width: 100%;"> <script type="text/fbml"> <fb:fbml> <?php endif; ?> <fb:request-form action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>" method="GET" invite="true" type="<?php echo get_option('blogname');?>" content="<?php echo get_option('blogname')." : ".get_option('blogdescription'); ?> <fb:req-choice url='<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>' label='<?php _e('Become a Member!', 'fbconnect') ?>' /> " > <fb:multi-friend-selector rows="5" email_invite="false" cols="3" showborder="false" actiontext="<?php _e('Invite your friends to Dailyerz.', 'fbconnect') ?>"> </fb:request-form> <?php if(FBCONNECT_CANVAS=="web") : ?> </fb:fbml> </script> </fb:serverfbml> <?php endif; ?> </div> <?php get_footer(); ?> Any idea on how to make this work? Do i have to create a Facebook App? Thanks! Hi, Is anyone here familiar with the Facebook API? My boss wants people to be able to share their store with their friends on Facebook from within the stores admin panel. He wants the following. 1) Display all friends with a checkbox next to each name. 2) Check the friends you want to inform about your store. 3) Post a message on checked friends wall. It sounds simple. The problem is the friends selection screen. Some of my friends on Facebook have 1000 friends. Obviously listing all of them is inpractical. Ideally I need a search box to limit the friends that display and make it easy to find who you are looking for. Does something like this already exist? Does it have a name? |
