PHP - Remember User Options/selection
I am working on a site that is going to have hundreds of polls that people can vote on. Once any user creates a new poll (vote: Hayden Panettiere vs. Kristen Bell as an example) I want to have the database remember what member voted on what, for each poll. So user 1 voted Hayden, user 327 voted Kristen.. etc.. I expect up to 500 users to vote on each topic, but a new column to store each username that voted seems insane. I was thinking arrays, but am not sure if that would work. I don't think that a new table per poll would be very efficient either, it would be like 500++ tables on one database.
To explain better, my username is Paradox and I vote for Kristen Bell. When I look at this database I want to see: ID Title Option1 Option2 People who voted option 1(27 people) People who voted option 2(783 people) 1 Heroes 27 783 {Blah, Blah, Blah} {Paradox, Blah, Blah} Is an array a good way to go about this? Because I also want to be able to expand the array to notify each member they voted with the winning or losing team once the poll expires. Similar TutorialsI would like to know how to take details of my 'users' table from mysql database and check if that user is logged in using cookies or sessions somehow and have that users username displayed on my site, something like: user logged in as: (username), how is this done? What would you guys need to see in order for you to help me? im guessing the login and register scripts which are below, if you need anymore let me know, thanks. Login script: Code: [Select] <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ //check for submit button click $username = $_POST['myusername']; $password = $_POST['mypassword']; // proceed with rest of code $self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; $referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; #if either form field is empty return to the log-in page if( (!$username ) or (!$password ) ) { header( "Location:$referer" ); exit(); } #connect to mysql $conn = @mysql_connect( "myserver", "username", "password" ) or die( "Could not connect" ); #select database $rs = @mysql_select_db( "removalspacelogin", $conn ) or die ( "Could not select db" ); #create query $sql="select * from users where username = '$username' and upassword = '$password'"; #execute query $rs = mysql_query( $sql, $conn ) or die( mysql_error() ); #get number of rows that match username and password $num = mysql_numrows( $rs ); #if there is a match the log-in is done if( $num != 0 ) { header( "Location:login_success.php" ); } else #or return to: login.php { header( "Location:$referer" ); exit(); } } ?> <?php ini_set("display_errors","ON"); ?> <html> <head><title>Check-login</title></head> <body> <?php echo( $msg ); ?> </body> </html> Register users script: Code: [Select] <?PHP $user_name = "removalspace"; $password = "123"; $database = "removalspacelogin"; $server = "removalspacecom.ipagemysql.com"; $db_handle = mysql_connect($server, $user_name, $password); $db_found = mysql_select_db($database, $db_handle); if ($db_found) { $SQL = "INSERT INTO users (username, upassword, email) VALUES ('" .$username. "', '" .$upassword. "', '" .$email. "')"; $result = mysql_query($SQL); header( 'Location: http://www.removalspace.com/index.php' ); exit(); } else { print "Database NOT Found "; mysql_close($db_handle); } ?> I'm an experienced programmer with several languages (COBOL, REXX, Java, Javascript, etc.) under my belt over many years but I know very little about PHP. I dabbled in it a bit a year or two back and got it to do what I wanted to do but I'm not sure how to do what I currently need.
A bit of context: I have designed a website where the user can choose between various page styles; each style invokes different CSS to give them a different visual experience of the site. They can select the style they want via View/Style in Internet Exploder and View/Page Style in Firefox but that preference is only remembered as long as they're on that page. As soon as they move to another page on the site, they have to choose the alternate style again or live with the default style. I want them to be able to select that preference ONCE, the store it in a cookie specifically for them, then keep using that style every time they visit the site. (Naturally, I want them to be able to change the style and then remember the new style as well.) There will be many visitors and each will want that same capability. I currently don't require any login to the site. (I'm toying with password-protecting some of the site down the road but that's not a factor in this page style thing that I'm talking about here.
Now, my questions.
I've found a variety of short articles describing how to use setCookie() to create the cookie (and delete it later) and getCookie() or the newer echo $_COOKIE["name"] to determine the cookie value. However, I am NOT seeing anything that says where I put the code to set and/or read the code within my web pages. I would really appreciate an explanation of that! I expect to write short fragments of php code to do those jobs which I will then imbed within my web pages via SSI (Server Side Includes). Is that reasonable or is there a better way?
Also:
1. When the user clicks on the desired Style in the View/Style menu, how do I detect what choice they made?
2. Should the name of the cookie be something like "pageStyle" or should it be something that uniquely identifies the user so that the right cookie is retrieved when the come back? If the latter, what value should I use and how should I obtain it? I assume that something unique about the user obtained from their headers is far better than displaying a dialog and asking them for some unique identifier.
I'd rather stay away from Javascript in any of this functionality since I can't rely on it being turned on.
One quick aside while I'm here. Does anyone know how to change the page style if visitors use Google Chrome or Opera? I can't even FIND options for changing the page style in my copies of those two browsers and both are current versions. Do they not support differing page styles at all or do they just hide the technique to choose the style very effectively?

Im trying to make my form remember the last input made by user, so I wrote the following and I get a syntax error on the input line. The error is: Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in C:\wamp\www\ezsynonym\index.php on line 90 Code: [Select] <form id="searchform" method="post" action="index.php"> <input id="input" name="synonymsearch" type="text" value="<?php echo $_POST['synonymsearch']; ?>" maxlength="400px" /> </form> TIA Hey all.. I'm trying to pick up PHP by reading ebooks and follow tutorials. I am now busy with creating a thumbnailgallery from uploaded pics per user. I want to let the visitor scroll through a row of thumbnails by clicking next or previous. There are 3 different rows of thumbnails. Here's how it looks like: <<previous (row1 of 6thumbnails) next>> <<previous (row2 of 6thumbnails) next>> <<previous (row3..... ) next>> when page loads mysql fetches rows of information for the filenames...then there is a foreach row loop that does first a do ..while loop to build up the thumbnailrows...and then creates the navigation links previous and next who send the "page"+1 or "page"-1 to _GET array so that the thumbnail 7 until 12 will be shown. The problem i run into is that i want the main code page to remember at which "page" of scrolling through the thumnails he is. Now it is that when a user scrolls one row of thumbnails and stops at the 3rd "page" of it and then clicks on a different row to go to "page" 2 of that row that all the rows jump together back to "page" 1. I thought there may be a solution in storing the number of row and the number of page into an array but can't seem to find a solution.... Has anybody got experience in this? Help would be very welcome i'm totally stuck and cant read about it in tutorials/ebooks.... greets from holland.. GJ I am developing a CMS for my clients where the login to administrate their website is through my own website. This unified back-end allows me to develop the functionality and user experience without the issue of updating each site manually with the new files or running a complicated macro etc and then uploading them all individually too. I would also like to combine as much of the "client side" CMS code too, i.e. as many of the php files that are stored on the clients website as possible. All of the websites (and the backend website) are located on the same VPS, running PHP V5.3, allow_url_include is not available, I could have it turned on but this causes security issues if I understand correctly? I figure my main options a - Turn on allow_url_include and just include via IP/Domain. - Use a FTP system similar to the way Wordpress allows remote install of plugins and system updates. or - Include the files using a different /home/username/cmsincludes/ path? Is it possible to use another VPS account to include from? I have tested and it gives me a "failed to open stream" error. Example: Client xyz Website Website located: /home/xyz/public_html/ CMS Included: /home/mainsite/cms/ Client 123 Website Website located: /home/123/public_html/ CMS Included: /home/mainsite/cms/ Client xxx Website Website located: /home/xxx/public_html/ CMS Included: /home/mainsite/cms/ I am trying to replicate a "Sort By" selection exactly like how Freelancer has it here https://www.freelancer.com/search/projects/ Sort by - Oldest - Newest - Lowest Price - Highest Price - Lowest Bid - Highest Bid So far I was only able to do the sort by oldest and newest. Here is my code. This shows my code for the page to retrieve records and use pagination to split them. My Tables: 1. Projects (project_id, title, description, min_budget, max_budget, posted_date, expired_date, status) 2. Bids (bid_id, project_id, details, posted_date, b_status) 3. Images (image_id, project_id, user_id, image_path, posted_date) 4. Currency (currency_id, currency_name) 5. Users (user_id, username)
As you can see the setup I have works only for sorting by DESC and ASC, which is used for Oldest and Newest. Now I would like to know how I can do the same thing for lowest price, highest price using the same query. Lowest and Highest Bid have a separate table. i was wondering if that could also be sorted in the same query as well? <div id="sort-by-wrap"> <select id="sort-select" onchange="if(this.value != '') document.location = 'explore-projects?p=3&c1=<?php echo $url_c1; ?>&category=<?php echo $url_category; ?>&name=<?php echo $url_name; ?>&sort_by=' + this.value"> <option value="DESC"<?php if(isset($_GET['sort_by']) && $_GET['sort_by'] == 'DESC') {echo 'selected="selected"';} ?>>Newest</option> <option value="ASC"<?php if(isset($_GET['sort_by']) && $_GET['sort_by'] == 'ASC') {echo 'selected="selected"';} ?>>Oldest</option> </select> <div id="sort-txt">Sort by:</div> </div> <?php $url_category = trim(!empty($_GET['category']) ? $_GET['category'] : null); $url_name = trim(!empty($_GET['name']) ? $_GET['name'] : null); $url_sort_by = trim(!empty($_GET['sort_by']) ? $_GET['sort_by'] : null); $url_c1 = trim(!empty($_GET['c1']) ? $_GET['c1'] : null); $url_page_no = trim(!empty($_GET['page_no']) ? $_GET['page_no'] : null); $page_url = basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); $get_page_url = preg_replace('/[?&]page_no=\d+/', '', $page_url); if(!empty($url_page_no)) { $page_no = $url_page_no; } else { $page_no = 1; } $total_records_per_page = 10; $offset = ($page_no - 1) * $total_records_per_page; $previous_page = $page_no - 1; $next_page = $page_no + 1; $count_records = $db->prepare("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM projects WHERE category_id = :category_id AND publish = :publish"); $count_records->bindParam(':category_id', $url_category); $count_records->bindValue(':publish', 1); $count_records->execute(); $total_records = $count_records->fetchColumn(); $total_no_of_pages = ceil($total_records / $total_records_per_page); $second_last = $total_no_of_pages - 1; // total page minus 1 $find_records = $db->prepare("SELECT images.image_id, currency.currency_name, users.username, users.user_id, projects.* FROM projects LEFT JOIN images ON projects.project_id = images.project_id LEFT JOIN currency ON projects.currency_id = currency.currency_id LEFT JOIN users ON projects.user_id = users.user_id WHERE projects.category_id = :category_id AND projects.publish = :publish ORDER BY projects.project_id $url_sort_by LIMIT $offset, $total_records_per_page"); $find_records->bindParam(':category_id', $url_category); $find_records->bindValue(':publish', 1); $find_records->execute(); $result_records = $find_records->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); if(count($result_records) > 0) { foreach($result_records as $row) { $project_id = $row['project_id']; $title = $row['title']; $description = $row['description']; $min_budget = $row['min_budget']); $max_budget = $row['max_budget']); $posted_date = $row['posted_date']; $expired_date = $row['expired_date']; $status = $row['status']; $image_id = $row['image_id']; $currency_name = $row['currency_name']; $user_id = $row['user_id']; $username = $row['username']; // COUNT TOTAL BIDS FOR EACH PROJECT $count_bids = $db->prepare("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM bids WHERE project_id = :project_id"); $count_bids->bindParam(':project_id', $project_id); $count_bids->execute(); $total_bids = $count_bids->fetchColumn(); // HTML CODE TO OUTPUT EACH PROJECT RESULT include '../snippets/record-box-wrap.php'; } } else { ?> <div id="no-content"> <span>No projects</span> </div> <?php } ?> <div class="pagination-wrap"> <div class="inner-pagination"> <ul> <li <?php if($page_no <= 1){ echo "class='disabled'"; } ?>> <a <?php if($page_no > 1){ echo "href='$get_page_url&page_no=$previous_page'"; } ?>>Prev</a> </li> <?php if($page_no <= 6) { for($counter = 1; $counter < 6; $counter++) { if ($counter == $page_no) { echo "<li class='active'><a>$counter</a></li>"; } else { echo "<li><a href='$get_page_url&page_no=$counter'>$counter</a></li>"; } } } else { for($counter = $total_no_of_pages - 6; $counter <= $total_no_of_pages; $counter++) { if($counter == $page_no) { echo "<li class='active'><a>$counter</a></li>"; } else { echo "<li><a href='$get_page_url&page_no=$counter'>$counter</a></li>"; } } } ?> <li <?php if($page_no >= $total_no_of_pages){ echo "class='disabled'"; } ?>> <a <?php if($page_no < $total_no_of_pages) { echo "href='$get_page_url&page_no=$next_page'"; } ?>>Next</a> </li> <?php if($page_no < $total_no_of_pages) { echo "<li><a href='$get_page_url&page_no=$total_no_of_pages'>Last ››</a></li>"; } ?> </ul> </div> </div>

Its like a search kind of implementation in the website. I don't know what the user selects, he may choose different select boxes, any number of select boxes. So, based upon the user selection, I need to generate the data. The data fields to be generated would be almost same. So, How would I know what the user selection is and how many select boxes has been selected and how could I generate different data based upon selected boxes. I had to make a small note abt this, that the data generation fields may change for some of the user select combinations, but most of the result fields would be same. so, can you please help me out, how to do, how to make different combination data generations, because, i had 8 fields, i had to make 8! combinations, that would result in a big code. Hey guys not sure what this is called but does anyone have more information on it. Ok when you visit a part of a site or a profile or what ever?? :S:S and you redirect them to login how can u then send them back to where they was when they have logged in? hope someone can help. I want to save live data into file. My script fetch the data (one by one) and save it into file by amend method. The live data is not regular and every time it must be checked if the value has been updated or it is still the last value. One way to do so is to read the last line of the file and compare it with the fetched value. But in this case, I need to read the file for every check. Is there a way to remember the last value and compare it with the coming value? to write only new value into the file. Hi, I'm creating a remember me feature for my site which obviously sets a cookie and when the visitors loads the site again,he would already be logged in. This is a part of the code which is related : Code: [Select] $login_email = request_var('login_email', ''); $login_password = request_var('login_password', ''); $login_remember = (isset($_POST['remember']) && $_POST['remember'] == 1) ? true: false; setcookie('login_email', $_POST['login_email'], time()+60*60*24*365, '/','localhost',false); setcookie('login_password', md5($_POST['login_password']), time()+60*60*24*365, '/','localhost',false); HTML: Code: [Select] <strong class="normal"><input type="checkbox" name="remember" value="1">Remember</strong> hi all, does anyone know the name of the following its a way to make a huge string than can have variables in it. look a bit like this but couldnt remember the right syntax, nor the name so was kinda hard to look on google. ABC>>> some stuff inside ABC; Hi guys, I wonder if any if you could help me: I have created a login page with "remember me" function... The page will redirect either to Admin Page or User Page depends their 'level'. But when I logged in as Admin and checked the box "remember me" and close all the browser to see IF the "remember me" work. When I open a new browser - and go to the index page - it is okay, I can view the page.... but it redirect me to the USER page NOT Admin page. Does anyone know why this happens? Okay, this is a head scratcher for me... About 10-15 years ago, there was this framework that seemed to be pretty popular in the LAMP work for quickly building websites. (I think it was written in PHP.) The thing I recall about it was that it you could create your own markup tags to markup up fields using curly brackets { }. I wish I could be more specific but this is all that is coming to mind. Any clues of what I might be thinking about? I am wondering how to keep a checkbox checked? I have the folllowing code and it is outputting the correct info, but when i tick checkbox, and then click box "SAVE Days and Recipes Chosen" the checkbox doesn't get set. <?php for($i = 0; $i < $rows; $i++) { ?> <tr> <?php for($j = 0; $j < $columns; $j++) { echo "<TD><font color='8678E9'>" . $data[$i + ($j * $rows)] .

I have a remember me cookie being set for my login page but I'm wondering what I need to do so that the next time the user comes back to the login page it already has the checkbox checked and the username in the username field which is the cookie. Hi I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to create a single page that contains a couple of checkboxes. When the first checkbox is checked I want to set a session. When the second chechbox is checked I want to set a different session. When the page submits ( to itself ) I'd like the checkboxes to reflect if they are checked or not. I can sort of do that part,but I'm having major issues with unsetting the sessions and updating the checkboxes to reflect this. Does anyone have a simple example on how to do this. Many Thanks So I have a registration form setup. When the user submits the form it sets session variables for each of the form fields and then checks the database to see if the username is taken. If the username is taken I have the form fields values to display the value of what the user just submitted. My problem is I have 2 drop down fields: States and Countries I am using the the following for my countries dropdown box and it works to remember the selection the user made, BUT how can I have it remember the option name as well as the option value? IE if the user chooses United States of America and submits the form I want the drop down to display United States of America not US here is the code: <select id="country" name="country" tabindex = "511"> <option value="<?php if(isset($_SESSION['country'])) echo $_SESSION['country']; ?>" selected="<?php if(isset($_SESSION['country'])) echo $_SESSION['country']; ?>"><?php

I am going to do a registration/login in system and thinking ahead, want to make sure that once someone is logged in, this information is passed from page to page (so they do not have to log in again on each page) and I would also like to provide a 'Remember Me' option. I have had a read up and from what I gather, sessions would be better for showing someone is logged in from page to page and cookies would be the only way to implement a 'Remember Me'. Would this be the best way to approach this or is/are there better ways? Thanks in advance Steve |
