PHP - Assigning The Visibility Of Methods

I don't know if this belongs here; sorry if it doesn't.

I'm using a method=get on a form as I need to pass information through a URL once the form has been submitted.
But I also need to INSERT some data from that form to multiple tables.

- How can I stop the GET from passing my other variables into the URL?
- How do I make the form submit to itself? I need to use the 'index.php?p=checkout' as this matches with a switch statement, which matches to the checkout page. The function PHP_SELF will just refresh to the index.php page, which will not have any of this checkout's page validation.

Here's my code:
Code: [Select]
<h2>Please enter your details</h2>
<h3>All fields required</h3>
<div id="checkout">

<?php

if (isset($_GET['checkout'])){
require_once ('./includes/connectvars.php');

$title = $_GET['title'];
$fname = $_GET['fname'];
$sname = $_GET['sname'];
$ctype = $_GET['ctype'];
$cnumber = md5($_GET['cnumber']);
$syear = $_GET['smonth'] . $_GET['syear'];
$fyear = $_GET['fmonth'] . $_GET['fyear'];
$service = $_GET['cardAuth'];
$amount = $_REQUEST[$total];
$msg = rand(1000,9999);
$api = 'd41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e';
$b_house = $_GET['b_house'];
$b_postcode = $_GET['b_postcode'];
$b_city = $_GET['b_city'];
$b_country = $_GET['b_country'];
$d_house = $_GET['d_house'];
$d_postcode = $_GET['d_postcode'];
$d_city = $_GET['d_city'];
$d_country = $_GET['d_country'];

$dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);

$query = "INSERT INTO customer
 (cust_id, first_name, last_name) VALUES ('', '$fname', '$sname')
  ";
$query = "INSERT INTO bill 
  (cust_id) VALUES ('')
  ";
$query = "INSERT INTO deliver
  (cust_id) VALUES ('')
  ";
  
 mysqli_query($dbc, $query);
}

//.'service='.$service.'msg_id='.$msg.'num_md5='.$cnumber.'amount='.$amount.'currency=GBP'.'api_key='.$api.

Hi PhpFreaks,

I have a method that I need to be initialised  dynamically and I am not sure if the code below will work I have been able to workout if the method exists
but I have not found a way to it get to return the array. Has anyone go any ideas?

The error I get is: Catchable fatal error: Object of class Forms could not be converted to string
Code: [Select]
public function setMethodForms($methodName){
echo $methodName." and does it exist ". (int)method_exists($this->formsObj, $methodName);

//test to see if the method exists
if ((int)method_exists($this->formsObj, $methodName) == 1){
//if it does execute
//print_r ($this->formsObj->projects()); //test to see if object works
$return call_user_func($this->formsObj."->".$methodName."()");
}
return $return;
}

I have two classes were one extends the other but they both have magic methods __get __call and __set but when trying to call a magic method it conflicts one with the other as you can imagaine...is there a way of getting around this ie. name spaces   or do I simply have to rewrite my classes   thank you

Hey everyone. I have been trying to assign dates to image so I could sort them, and also display the date they were uploaded. But I need some help. I have a script that uploads an image to a file directory, and also stores the file directory and the upload date in a database. And I also have a script that displays the images in the file directory but I cannot find a way to assign the right date to the right image.
Here is the script that displays the images:

Code: (php) [Select]
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// fill an array with all items from a directory
$dir = "thumbs/";

$handle = opendir($dir);
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
$files[] = $file;

// This removes the full stops from the array
unset($files[0]);
unset($files[1]);
               
}   
            foreach($files as $fileimg)
{

echo "<img src='". $dir . $fileimg ."'/>\n";
                echo "$date";
}
       
}
and here is the script for calling the date from the database:

Code: [Select]
$query = mysql_query("SELECT imgaddress, uploaddate FROM thumbs WHERE imgaddress='" . $dir . $file . "'");

                if (mysql_num_rows($query) == 1) {
                     $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);

                     $date = $row['uploaddate'];
If I use the database statement before the foreach, then it does not get the right file directory, but if I call it inside the foreach, then I cannot use krsort() to sort the array.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Good Day Everyone!

I'm having trouble figuring out how to assign weapons from a MySQL table to soldiers.
Say I have the following...
$soldiers = 100;
$damage = 0;
$q = mysql_query("SELECT `item_quantity`, `item_power` FROM `items` WHERE `owner_id`='".$userid."' ORDER BY `item_power` DESC");
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($q)) 
{
   // assign weapons to soldiers and add `item_power` * `item_quantity`to $damage
}
I want to assign all the weapons until there's not enough soldiers to assign them to, and I want to assign them in order of `item_power` descending.

I'm sure this is really simple, I just can't for the life of me get my head around it.

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards,
Ace

I can't find an explicit answer on this anywhere, but when you create a child class from an abstract class must you use ALL of the methods that are inside the abstract class in the new child class? Or are these methods just available to the child class to pick and choose?

Hi, I am trying to get my head around classes, interfaces and methods for different animals

 

this is what I have so far:

<?php 
interface animal {
  function walk();
  function fly();
  function swim();
}
class monkey implements animal{
  const interface1 = "I am from test class";

  function noise() {
    echo "ooh ooh ah ah!";
  } 

  function walk() { 
    echo "monkey is walking";
  }
  function fly() { 
    echo "monkey is Flying";
  }
  function swim() { 
    echo "monkey is Swimming";
  }
  public function display() {
    echo monkey::interface1;
    echo PHP_EOL;
  }

}

class bear implements animal{
  const interface1 = "I am from test class";

  function noise() {
    echo "Grrr!";
  } 

  function walk() { 
    echo "Bear is walking";
  }
  function fly() { 
    echo "Bear is Flying";
  }
  function swim() { 
    echo "Bear is Swimming";
  }
  public function display() {
    echo bear::interface1;
    echo PHP_EOL;
  }

}
$Obj = new monkey();
$Obj->display();
$Obj1 = new bear();
$Obj1->display();
?>

I'm a bit stumped as  animal interface not calling all functions?! please help

Is there any way to produce a custom magic method?

Let's say when I try to get an attribute that doesn't have any value, a method gets called that gives that attribute a value.

So I want a method to be triggered when I try to get a value from an attribute that doesn't have any value.

Hi all,

I can't seem to designate an array key by using a variable and I was wondering if this is possible. I'm looking to do something like this:

Code: [Select]

<?php
$key = "apple";
$arr = array($key => "fruit");
?>
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

hello,

i have been following the php.net oop manual but im having a little trouble understanding something.

on this page in the manual: http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php
it shows this code and if i seperate it out i cant get it to echo the results i want. what am i doing wrong?
i have added a little extra code .

class Bear
Code: [Select]
class Bear {
    // define properties
    public $name;
    public $weight;
    public $age;
    public $sex;
    public $colour;

    // constructor
    public function __construct() {
       
                $this->name = "winny the poo";
$this->weight = 100;
$this->age = 0;
$this->sex = "male";
$this->colour = "brown";
    }

    // define methods

    public function eat($units) {
        echo $this->name." is eating ".$units." units of food... <br/>";
        $this->weight += $units;
    }

    public function run() {
        echo $this->name." is running... <br/>";
    }

    public function kill() {
        echo $this->name." is killing prey... <br/>";
    }

    public function sleep() {
        echo $this->name." is sleeping... <br/>";
    }


}

class PolarBear
Code: [Select]
class PolarBear extends Bear {

    // constructor
    public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->colour = "white";
        $this->weight = 600;
    }

function polarbar()
    {
        // Note: the next line will issue a warning if E_STRICT is enabled.
        Bear::bear();
    }

    // define methods
    public function swim() {
        echo $this->name." is swimming... ";
    }
}


now if i try to get back the results i have trouble.

this is fine
Code: [Select]
$bear = new Bear();

$bear->eat($units);
$bear->eat();
$bear->run();
$bear->kill();
$bear->sleep();

that echos back
Quote

//THE BEAR
winny the poo is eating 5 units of food...
winny the poo is eating units of food...
winny the poo is running...
winny the poo is killing prey...
winny the poo is sleeping...

//THE POLAR BEAR
winny the poo is eating 5 units of food...
winny the poo is eating units of food...
winny the poo is running...
winny the poo is killing prey...
winny the poo is sleeping...
winny the poo is swimming...



THAT FINE but how come i can echo out each of the properties?
why do these ways not work?

Code: [Select]
Bear::eat($units);
Bear::eat();
Bear::run();
Bear::kill();
Bear::sleep();

or

Code: [Select]
$bear = new Bear();
$bear->$name;
$bear->$weight;
$bear->$age;
$bear->$sex;
$bear->$colour;

or

Code: [Select]
echo Bear::eat($units);
echo Bear::eat();
echo Bear::run();
echo Bear::kill();
echo Bear::sleep();

or

Code: [Select]
$bear = new Bear();
echo $bear->$name;
echo $bear->$weight;
echo $bear->$age;
echo $bear->$sex;
echo $bear->$colour;

and the same goes for PolarBear

if i try and get back any of the properties on a page i get nothing ???

i even tried putting it in a loop and that didnt work
Code: [Select]
$bear = new Bear();

foreach ($bear as $bears){
echo $bears->$name;
echo $bears->$weight;
echo $bears->$age;
echo $bears->$sex;
echo $bears->$colour;
}

whats wrong.
why cant i get any results from these ?
thanks

I am trying to run the function "age", using the last line, I thought that is how I could to access that method, but that doesn't work.
Code: [Select]
<?php
require_once '../phpLive/phpLive.php';
$live->myClass = (object)array(
"name" => "Billy Bob Joe",
"age" => function($dob){
// Run some code
}
);
echo $live->myClass->age("1986-07-22");
?>
I get the following error when trying to do that.
Quote

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::age() in /xxx/new.plugin.php on line 9


Any Ideas how I can access that method?

Thanks!

I need to assign unknown array keys and their values to strings.

The code I am using is:
Code: [Select]
$cart = $_SESSION['cart'];
$items = explode(',',$cart);
$qty = array();


foreach ($items as $item) {
$qty[$item] = $qty[$item] + 1;
}
print_r($qty);
The keys change and are not ordered. I do not know what the key or it's value may be.  So as an example, I might have:
Code: [Select]
Array ( [2] => 5 [4] => 8 ) or in a different scenario, I might have:
Code: [Select]
Array ( [1] => 6 )
What those numbers represent is a product id (the key), and the quantity (the value of the key).

Can someone help me to assign these to a string?  I have been reading all morning, and not making any progress. 

Thank you!

hi,
i am updating records from database using ajax and javascript on php page.
The result is displayed inside a div (<div id="show"></div>).
Now i want to assign the content of the above div(say y) to php variable for further calculations.

How can i assign the value displayed in div tag to a php variable?

Thanks.

Hi, I'm new to php and am attempting to build a site where the navigation and content is built with query functions. 
My current tables in my database are Categories, Products, and Variation.  So a person chooses a category -> then a product -> then a product page shows variations for that product. The problem I am currently having is after when a person selects a section the previous section selected is reset.  So lets a person selects a category the product list is shown, but when a person selects a product, the category is no longer selected in the navigation.  Or if someone selects product and sees all the variations, if he selects a variation the product ID is reset.  I've tried to comb through the internet for some type of solution.  I came across concatenating URL encode, but am not sure if this is the correct solution.  I tried concatenating one of my urls
with Code: [Select]
"<a href=\"product_detail.php?cat=" . urlencode($sel_cat["id"]) . '&' . "product=" . urlencode($sel_product['id']) . '&' . "var=" . urlencode($var["id"]) . "\"
its a bit of a stab in the dark. 

My $_GET function is
Code: [Select]
function find_selected_product() {
global $sel_cat;
global $sel_product;
global $sel_var;
if (isset($_GET['cat'])) {
$sel_cat = get_cat_by_id($_GET['cat']);
} elseif (isset($_GET['product'])) {
$sel_cat = NULL;
$sel_product = get_product_by_id($_GET['product']);
} elseif (isset($_GET['product'])) {
$sel_product = get_product_by_id($_GET['product']);
$sel_var = get_default_var($sel_product['id']);
} elseif (isset($_GET['var'])) {
$sel_product = NULL; //test
$sel_var = get_variation_by_id($_GET['var']);
} else {
$sel_cat = NULL;
$sel_product = NULL;
$sel_var = NULL;

}
}
My navigation code is
Code: [Select]
function public_navigation($sel_cat, $public = true) {
$output = "<td class=\"c1\"><div class=\"sidenav\"><ul>";
$cat_set = get_all_cats($public);
while ($cat = mysql_fetch_array($cat_set)) {
$output .= "<li>";
if ($cat["id"] == $sel_cat['id']) { $output .= "<a class=\"current\""; }
$output .= "<a href=\"index.php?cat=" . urlencode($cat["id"]) . "\">{$cat["cat_name"]}</a></li>";

}
$output .= "</ul>";

return $output;
}
My product is divided into gender and is written like

Code: [Select]
function cat_content_ladies($sel_cat, $sel_product, $female = true)
{
$output = "<ul class=\"regions\">";
$cat_set = get_all_cats($female);
while ($cat = mysql_fetch_array($cat_set))
{ if ($cat["id"] == $sel_cat['id'])
{
$product_set = get_products_for_female($cat["id"], $female);
$output .= "<tr>";
while ($product = mysql_fetch_array($product_set))
{
if ($cat["id"] == $sel_cat['id'])
{
$output .= "<tr>";
$output .= "<div class=\"pre\"><a href=\"product_detail.php?product=" . urlencode($product["id"]) . "\"></li>";
$output .= "<img src=\"{$product["img_src"]}\" height=\"121\" width=\"121\">";
$output .= "<div>{$product["prod_name"]}</a></div>";
}
}
$output .= "</tr>";
}
}
return $output;
}
My variation table is set up in thumb nails and is written in this function
Code: [Select]
function show_thumb($sel_product, $sel_var, $public = true)
{
$output = "<ul class=\"subjects\">";
$product_set = get_all_products($public);
while ($product = mysql_fetch_array($product_set)) {
$output .= "<li";
if ($product["id"] == $sel_product['id']) { $output .= " class=\"selected\""; }
//$output .= "><a href=\"product_detail.php?product=" . urlencode($product["id"]) .
//"\">{$product["id"]}</a></li>";
if ($product["id"] == $sel_product['id']) {
$var_set = get_variations_for_product($product["id"], $public);
$output .= "<ul class=\"pages\">";
while ($var = mysql_fetch_array($var_set)) {
$output .= "<li";
if ($var["id"] == $sel_var['id']) { $output .= " class=\"selected\""; }
$output .= "><a href=\"product_detail.php?var=" . urlencode($var["id"]) .
"\">{$var["id"]}</a></li>";

}
$output .= "</ul>";
}
}
$output .= "</ul>";
return $output;
}

 


any light on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

I have two tables in my MySQL database:

1. user
user_id | firstname | lastname | nickname etc.

and

2. con (for contribution)
con_id | user_id (foreign key) | name | contribution | category etc.


Here's how I wanted to solve the problem of assigning the foreign key to the 2nd table (I'm a beginner so bear with me. )

When logging in, I assigned the user_id to the session variable like this:

// do the while loop

while ($assoc = mysqli_fetch_assoc($rows)) {

// assign database COLUMNS to the variables

$dbuser_id = $assoc['user_id'];

$dbuser_name = $assoc['nickname'];

$dbuser_password = $assoc['password'];

etc.....................


// set a session after login

$_SESSION['user'] = $dbuser_name . $dbuser_id;



This prints out the user_id just like I wanted to:


echo "Your user_id is: " . $_SESSION['user_id'] = $dbuser_id;


Gives:
Code: [Select]
Your user_id is: 35


... and this is how the assignment of the foreign key looks like WHILE posting the contribution:


 $user_id = $_SESSION['user'] = $dbuser_id;

  if (!empty($knuffix_name) && !empty($knuffix_category) && !empty($knuffix_contribution)) {
      // Write the data into the database
      $query = sprintf("INSERT INTO con (con_id, user_id, name, contribution, category, contributed_date) VALUES (' ', '$user_id', '%s', '%s', '%s', now())",

mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $knuffix_name),

mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $knuffix_contribution),

mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $knuffix_category));



When I now do a contribution through the input areas, nothing gets inserted into the database and I automatically get logged out. Obviously it's not working as I thought it would and I'd like to know why is that?
Notice that if I take the user_id part OUT, it's working again, so the rest of the code must be right then.

Another question I have is:
Is this common practice to solve this problem of assigning a foreign key, or is there a better way of doing it?
