PHP - 3column Display With Multiple Variables
hello i have built a webpage using tables.
i might have done something wrong (except using tables) and now the results are rendered chaotically on the webpage. also here is the attached file. after the 4th article it's all messy i have a solution but that means to insert a php tag inside another php tag, but won't work thankyou Similar TutorialsHi, I'm having a bit of a problem sharing some variables I have across a few files. My first file (index.php) calls an ajax request for (display.php) and sends a few variables to it. All fine so far. display.php then does its thing and displays the content on index.php as it should. Now in display.php I need a variable to be passed back to index.php for use in a menu. I've tried setting a session variable in display.php but unfortunately this doesn't seem to work. I also can't use get or post as I don't want to refresh the page. Really scratching my head over this one! Edd Is there anyway I can like "exit" the variables so i can use the same variable name later in the page? Hi, I want to send the following variable using the $_GET function: I have a form with multiple options to fill out (its a admin form) i want to make sure only one of the of the options are set, so im checking if the variable is empty with if ($variable1 != NULL) { $new_variable = "yep, this option was filled out"; } so if the form sent anything from the form with the value 'variable1' it then sets a new variable ($new_variable) Problem is i have multiple fields so i need to make sure if it finds a a variable is not empty, then too check if the others have anything in them too. If it does find another (meaning more than one has been filled out) echo an error (echo "you must only complete one option..") What is the best way to check if more than one variable exists? Sorry if i explained it complicated. Thank you I have this function: Code: [Select] function echo_exist($pre1,$ee,$post1) { if ($ee!='') { return $pre1; return $ee; return $post1; } else { //do nothing } } But when I try to echo it Code: [Select] echo_exist("(","$row['payment_type']",")"); I get syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE If $row['payment_type'] exists, I want it to be displayed in parentheses like: (AUTO) I suspect it has to do with my ' characters for the associative array, but I am new with functions so perhaps it is the multiple arguments that are wrong? Hello everyone, I'm sitting here in a position where I can't work on my site or test any code, but my mind is racing about what I can do to solve a particular problem that I have. I won't get into the problem because it would take more time to type than I have right now, but I have an idea for a simple solution, just not sure if it will work or not. So, here's my question: Is it possible to have multiple session variables during a session? Such as: $email=$_SESSION['email']; $user=$_SESSION['userid']; If this is possible, my problem is solved (I think)... otherwise, I have to keep thinking about it. Thanks for any help! hello, im wondering how to properly code the following. Code: [Select] $stdate = date( 'Ymd', strtotime($pdate) ); $sttime = date( 'His', strtotime($tstart1) ); $dtStart = ".$stdate.'T'.$sttime.'Z'"; echo "$dtStart"; i would like the echo to read 20110309T050000Z i am having issues getting the variables to show up on localhost server within the body element. is it something in the codes or something in the php.ini settings? here is some sample code Code: [Select] <h1>Skyward Aviation</h1> <h2>Contact Information</h2> <form action="ContactUpdate.php" method="get"> <table frame="border" rules="cols"> <colgroup width="50%" /> <colgroup width="50%" /> <tr> <td align="right" valign="top"> <p>First Name <input type="text" name="first_name" value="<?= $First ?>" size="36" /></p> <p>Last Name <input type="text" name="last_name" value="<?= $Last ?>" size="36" /></p> <p>Phone <input type="text" name="phone" value="<?= $Phone ?>" size="36" /></p> </td> <td align="right" valign="top"> <p>Address <input type="text" name="address" value="<?= $Address ?>" size="40" /></p> <p>City <input type="text" name="city" value="<?= $City ?>" size="10" /> State <input type="text" name="state" value="<?= $State ?>" size="2" maxlength="2" /> Zip <input type="text" name="zip" value="<?= $Zip ?>" size="10" maxlength="10" /></p> </td> </tr> </table> <p><input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID" value='<?php echo session_id() ?>' /> <p><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></p> </form> In the page is shows <?= $First ?> in the area First Name textbox. Hi, I have an affiliate system that shows results on what product is purchased. The problem is that the tracker is only listing the first product in the purchase list, so if someone purchases multiple products it only shows the first product in the transaction report. Here is the code: Code: [Select] $module = fetchDbConfig('PostAffiliatePro'); $orderInv = $order->getOrderInv($_GET["cart_order_id"]); print_r($orderInv); $affCode = "<!-- Begin PostAffiliatePro Affiliate Tracker --> <img border='0' src='".$module['URL']."/scripts/sale.php?TotalCost=".sprintf("%.2f", $orderSum['subtotal'])."&OrderID=".$cart_order_id."&ProductID=".$orderInv['0']['productCode']."' width='0' height='0' alt='' /> <!-- End PostAffiliatePro Affiliate Tracker -->"; ?> The code I need help with syntax is: Code: [Select] "&ProductID=".$orderInv['0']['productCode']."The products are split into arrays by number (0,1,2,3). So for example, I would want to show results for .$orderInv['0']['productCode']. , then .$orderInv['1']['productCode']. , and so on. I would like the results to be posted with a ; between them, but I don't know the proper syntax to have it report more than just the first array. This seems pretty simple, but I only know the basics of PHP and I've adapted this from found code. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! I am creating a webpage for my golf league and some of the information(variables) such as Name, Address and email, must be reused across multiple pages for different outputs. May question is "Can I, or is there a way to reUse variables across multiple pages. "Do I need to create a session and make everything session variables"? "Should I link to a database and call the information when needed"? Any explanation would be greatly appreciated. When a user logs into my site I was to store the user_name, user_role, and user_id in a session variable, then store this in a regular variable to make querying easier, but I am having issues with my code as its causing issues with my queries. Code: [Select] if (mysqli_num_rows($data) > 0) { //set sessions $row = mysqli_fetch_array($data); $_SESSION['username'] = $row['username']; $_SESSION['user_role'] = $row['role']; $_SESSION['user_id'] = $row['user_id']; //set variables $username = $_SESSION['username']; $user_role = $_SESSION['user_role']; $user_id = $_SESSION['user_id']; } Any ideas whats wrong?! Thanks for the help!! This will only send 1 goggles information into the database but I have a "adding" page that can actually add more than 1 goggles at once. I have no idea how to go about saving multiple goggle's information using array or loop. $name= $_POST['goggles_name']; $price = $_POST['goggles_price']; $des = $_POST['goggles_description']; $file = $_FILES['goggles_image']['name']; $chkbox = $_POST['upload']; $id = $_POST['goggles_id']; $query = "UPDATE goggles SET goggles_name = '$name' , goggles_price = '$price' ,goggles_description = '$des' WHERE goggles_id ='".$id."' "; $result = mysqli_query($link, $query) or die(mysqli_error($link)); Hi Guys and Girls, Long time lurker, first time poster! I am usually able to read through the forums and find and answer without having to start a new thread but I've tried my best to no avail. I am having trouble with the following code: $afname="Gareth"; $alname="B"; $awayoption.="<OPTION VALUE=\"".$afname." \"".$alname."\">".$afname." ".$alname; I would want that to produce the following: Code: [Select] <OPTION VALUE=Gareth B">Gareth B The actual result at the moment is: Code: [Select] <OPTION VALUE="Gareth "B">Gareth B It has an extra " in the middle. Any ides or help would be great! Cheers
I have a webpage that I am working on that is now in construction mode. The url is: https://localbizseek.com/lbs/index6 The problem is that I want to it to be able to search 2 at the same time in the phpmyadmin database table which is named "places". I also want to be able to get to search all 9 cities for that area. There are a total of 36,000+ cities in the database. However, I want it to be able to search just 2 or 9 specific cities of those cities. Each city has a city_id which is an integer assigned to it in the database Right now it will search only 1 city at a time or it will search every city in the database if I assign the search variable as "" or "0". I don't know what to do on this page to solve it and on the related processing page. Here is the code on the webpage: <form id="main-search-form" method="GET" action="<?= $baseurl; ?>/_searchresults.php" role="search"> <select id="query-input" name="city_id" style="width:28.8%" style="height:69px" required> <option value="">Select Area</option> <option value="3;1">Ches & VB</option> <option value="3">Chesapeake , VA</option> <option value="9">Hampton , VA</option> <option value="10">Newport News , VA</option> <option value="2">Norfolk , VA</option> <option value="12">Poquoson , VA</option> <option value="4">Portsmouth , VA</option> <option value="5">Suffolk , VA</option> <option value="1">Virginia Beach , VA</option> <option value="11">Williamsburg , VA</option> <option value="0">All Active US Cities</option> </select> </form>
You will notice that I have tried "3;1" up under the Ches & VB Select Option but that doesn't work because it will not work that way. I can have it as "3 1" but then it just displays 1 which is VB's information. I've tried everything possible and it won't search both variables. It only will search one. <form id="main-search-form" method="GET" action="<?= $baseurl; ?>/_searchresults.php" role="search"> <select id="query-input" name="city_id" style="width:28.8%" style="height:69px" required> <option value="">Select Area</option> <option value="3,1">Ches & VB</option> <option value="3">Chesapeake , VA</option> <option value="9">Hampton , VA</option> <option value="10">Newport News , VA</option> <option value="2">Norfolk , VA</option> <option value="12">Poquoson , VA</option> <option value="4">Portsmouth , VA</option> <option value="5">Suffolk , VA</option> <option value="1">Virginia Beach , VA</option> <option value="11">Williamsburg , VA</option> <option value="0">All Active US Cities</option> </select>

This code was given to me by mjdamato to help display a student and the course that student has take and within that the modules in the course and the sessions in course including module mark and grade and student's session marks and grades. I am very weak on php code as I have only done it once and that was following a php workbook 2 years ago. I am more of a database specialist. Below is the code given to me and you can also download the code from the attachment: Code: [Select] <?php function outputModule($moduleID, $moduleName, $sessionData) { if(!count($sessionData)) { return false; } $markTotal = 0; $markGrade = 0; $weightSession = 0; $grade = ""; $sessionsHTML = ""; foreach($sessionData as $session) { $sessionsHTML .= "<p><strong>Session:</strong> {$session['SessionId']} <br><strong>Session Mark:</strong> {$session['Mark']}</strong> <br><strong>Session Weight Contribution</strong> {$session['SessionWeight']}%</p>\n"; $markTotal += round($session['Mark'] / 100 * $session['SessionWeight']); $weightSession += ($session['SessionWeight']); $markGrade = round($markTotal / $weightSession * 100); if ($markGrade >= 70){ $grade = "A";} else if ($markGrade >= 60 && $markGrade <= 69){ $grade = "B";} else if ($markGrade >= 50 && $markGrade <= 59){ $grade = "C";} else if ($markGrade >= 40 && $markGrade <= 49){ $grade = "D";} else if ($markGrade >= 30 && $markGrade <= 39){ $grade = "E";} else if ($markGrade >= 0 && $markGrade <= 29){ $grade = "F";} } $moduleHTML = "<p><br><strong>Module:</strong> {$moduleID} - {$moduleName} <br><strong>Module Mark:</strong> {$markTotal} <br><strong>Mark Percentage:</strong> {$markGrade} <br><strong>Grade:</strong> {$grade} </p>\n"; return $moduleHTML . $sessionsHTML; } $output = ""; $studentId = false; $courseId = false; $moduleId = false; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { if($studentId != $row['StudentUsername']) { //Student has changed $studentId = $row['StudentUsername']; $output .= "<p><strong>Student:</strong> {$row['StudentForename']} {$row['StudentSurname']} ({$row['StudentUsername']})\n"; } if($courseId != $row['CourseId']) { //Course has changed $courseId = $row['CourseId']; $output .= "<br><strong>Course:</strong> {$row['CourseId']} - {$row['CourseName']} <strong>Course Mark</strong> <strong>Grade</strong> <br><strong>Year:</strong> {$row['Year']}</p>\n"; } if($moduleId != $row['ModuleId']) { //Module has changed if(isset($sessionsAry)) //Don't run function for first record { //Get output for last module and sessions $output .= outputModule($moduleId, $moduleName, $sessionsAry); } //Reset sessions data array and Set values for new module $sessionsAry = array(); $moduleId = $row['ModuleId']; $moduleName = $row['ModuleName']; } //Add session data to array for current module $sessionsAry[] = array('SessionId'=>$row['SessionId'], 'Mark'=>$row['Mark'], 'SessionWeight'=>$row['SessionWeight']); } //Get output for last module $output .= outputModule($moduleId, $moduleName, $sessionsAry); //Display the output echo $output; } } ?> Below the what this code outputs: Student: Mayur Patel (u0867587) Course: INFO101 - Bsc Information Communication Technology Course Mark Year: 3 Module: CHI2550 - Modern Database Applications Module Mark: 41 Mark Percentage: 68 Grade: B Session: AAB Session Mark: 72 Session Weight Contribution 20% Session: AAE Session Mark: 67 Session Weight Contribution 40% Module: CHI2513 - Systems Strategy Module Mark: 31 Mark Percentage: 62 Grade: B Session: AAD Session Mark: 61 Session Weight Contribution 50% If you look above it shows that there is nothing in the Course Mark: section, what Course Mark is suppose to do is total up all the module mark percentages and then divide it by the number of modules. So the calculation will be adding up all the Code: [Select] $markGrade and dividing it by count Code: [Select] $ModuleID. In examle above it will be 68 (mark percentage for 1st module) + 62 (mark percentage for 2nd module) / 2 (number of modules in the course). So the Course Mark should equal 65. The problem is that all of the calculations are in the foreach loop but where the course details and where the course marks are going to be placed are in the while loop. So the problem is that if the total Course Mark (lets say we call in $totalCourse) is displayed in the while loop it will provide an undifined index as the calculation will be placed with the other calculations in the foreach loop which is outside the while loop, if I do the calculation with in the while loop, it will only choose the 1st module mark percentage and divdie it by the first module only, this is obviously incorrect as it sohuld try and do this for all modules hence why my calculations are in the foreach loop which does this. So how will change the code so that the course details can go from the while loop and be placed in the foreach loop so then I can include the calculation in the foreach loop. Thank You and hopefully you understand it, just read it very carefully to understand it, it is very simple what I want to achieve but I do not know how to do it. [attachment deleted by admin]
For debug purposes, I want to see all (each and every possible) variables from a website visitor, e.g. I know how to save the info in a database, I might even have the info emailed to myself, I just can't remember the "one-liner" I used to use to capture this info. Thank you in advance!
Suppose I have two versions of the same website; one American and one Canadian. This site has members with profiles etc. The way my site is written, I think that if someone were to login to their account on, say, the American site, then a session variable would indicate that a user is logged in on the client machine. Now if they visit the "profile" page, for example, or some other members-only page ON THE CANADIAN SITE, and start manipulating data etc., then this would affect the databases for the Canadian site, and everything would get screwed up (actually, I think mysql would just start spitting out errors, but that's not good either). Does anyone have some simple way to deal this this kind of thing? I don't really know exactly how session variables work. Say I have two domains, somepage.com and somepage.ca on the same server/DNS. If a page on somepage.com sets a session variable called $_SESSION['somevar'], and a page on somepage.ca also sets a variable called $_SESSION['somevar'], are the two variables somehow distinct because they are on different domains? Like, if somepage.com sets the variable, then somepage.ca check if the variable is set, what will happen? What if I wanted to set up the two pages in subfolders, like somepage.com/us and somepage.com/ca, how would I deal with distinguish session variables for the two sites? Is one approach (i.e. distinct domains vs subfolders) better than the other? Thanks, Hi All, I'm quite new to this PHP stuff and have been creating a site just for the hell of it really but i have a rather bizarre problem that has been driving me nuts for about a week... I have two drops downs, the first gives a list of teams from a mysql table and then this populates the next drop down with a list of players from the selected team.. so far so good. When I hit the select/submit button to select the player, what should happen is both the "team" and "player" are put into another query which gives the stats on the selected player for all the games that he has played in. however, what actually happens in the Session variable sets the "team" variable to blank. I can see this happening when I use Print_r ($_SESSION); So essentially when I click on either submit button from my drop down forms the other value is being removed from the Session array. Oh, the session is still valid (not being destroyed and replaced with another session). First drop down $query_teams="select Team from $teams"; $team_result=mysql_query($query_teams); $num_team=mysql_numrows($team_result); echo $num_team; print_r ($row_team); $team_count = 0; echo '<form method="post" action="map_selector.php">'; echo "<SELECT name='country'>"; while ($row_team1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($team_result)) { $team_info = $row_team1["Team"]; echo "<OPTION value='$team_info'>$team_info </option>"; } echo '</select>'; echo '<center><input type="submit" value="Search"></center>'; $country = $_POST["country"]; $_SESSION["country"] = $country; echo '</form>'; So SCOTLAND is selected Some sql queries to get the results for the possible players and then Drop down 2 $row_full = array_unique($row_home); echo '<form method="post" action="map_selector.php">'; echo "<SELECT name='Player'>"; foreach ($row_full as $key => $value) { echo "<OPTION value='$value'> $value"; } echo '</select>'; echo "@"; echo $country; echo "@"; echo '<center><input type="submit" value="Search"></center>'; $country=$_POST["country"]; $player=$_POST["Player"]; echo "#"; echo $country; echo "#"; echo '</form>'; $_SESSION["Player"] = $player; $selected_player = $_SESSION["Player"]; echo $player; echo $selected_player; echo $country; Print_r ($_SESSION); so Print_r ($_Session) returns: Array ( [Player] => [country] => Scotland [] => ) then a player "Paul Hartley" is selected from the player list and submit is click and then Print_r($_Session) shows: Array ( [Player] => Paul Hartley [country] => [] => ) Can anyone please help... I just can;t understand why this is happening when I'm using a Sessions which, I thought, would retain all variable values until a time-out or a destroy Thanks nhsal69 Hey guys, Really dumb question, but I want to check if a bunch of variables are all not empty. Then, if they aren't, I want to execute a mySQL query. Right now I have this which I know is wrong because it doesn't work the right way: Code: [Select] if($album != null || $artist != null || $year != null || $genre != null) { // stuff here... } Obviously I want all of those variables to be checked if they are empty or not. I did a quick Google and found that checking if the variables are null wouldn't be the correct way of solving this situation because an "empty string" is still not null? Anyway, any help would be appreciated. I'm pretty sure it's really simple :p. As part of my User Profile, I have a series of open-ended questions that Members can answer, e.g... Quote 1.) Why did you start your own business? 2.) If you could offer one piece of advice to other entrepreneurs, what would it be? : 10.) How do you compete against large corporations? I was leaning towards creating a many-to-many relationship like this... member -||---------0<- answer ->0---------||- question From a database standpoint this works great, HOWEVER, I just realized a big problem... If run this query... Code: [Select] SELECT response FROM answer WHERE member_id = 1; ...then I would get TEN RECORDS back and I don't know of any way to maps those to the 10 Text Boxes on the "My Thoughts" page?! (It would be a real PITA to have to create 10 separate Prepared Queries in PHP - one for each Field - to fill out my page?!) So, is there a way to keep my table structure, but push the 10 records from above into 10 separate variables so I would have something like $response1, $response2,... $response10 ?? Thanks, Debbie |
