PHP - "this Day In History" Script
I've been looking for one all over the internet and have yet to find one to my exact specifications. I don't even know how I would attempt to make said script since I don't have a database of my own with that type of information stored on it. I basically want to use History.com's This Day In History feed on my website, but I don't like their RSS feed considering it's a giant paragraph of a single article. I'm just looking to post a few random dates and some information like this for example:
1986 > blah blah blah 1990 > blah blah blah 2010 > blah blah blah Any help would be greatly appreciated brethren. Similar TutorialsCan someone please help me with an array problem i can not figure out. I need the array to be numbered from 1 to how ever many fields that are needed in the form and have a mysql field name and the title of the field also in the array. 1, "mysql_field_name", "Title of form field" 2, "", "" and so on then the form will be shown based on the array. I have the following draft code which I am working with. any suggestions on how i may do this array ? Code: [Select] <?php $options = array( '1'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option1', 'mysqlfield'=>'option1'), '2'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option2', 'mysqlfield'=>'option2'), '3'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option3', 'mysqlfield'=>'option3'), '4'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option4', 'mysqlfield'=>'option4'), ); // $options = array(1 => "option1", "option2", "option3", "option4"); // the line above works but i want to include the name of the mysql field as well. $userid = 1; ?> <div style="align: center; margin: 12px; font-family:Tahoma;"> <br><br><?php if ($_POST['Update'] != "Update") { // check if form submitted yet, if not get data from mysql. $res = db_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `userid` = '" . $userid . "'"); foreach($options as $key => $value) { $_POST[$key] = mysql_result($res, 0, $value); } $ok_to_update = "no"; } elseif ($_POST['Update'] == "Update") { // check if form submitted yet, if so get POST data. // error checking // foreach($options as $key => $value) { // $_POST[$i] = ""; // } $ok_to_update = "yes"; } if ($_POST['Update'] == "Update" && $ok_to_update == "yes") { // $res = db_query("INSERT INTO `users` () VALUES ()"); // add user details to database. ?><p><br><br><br>Thank you for updating</p><?php } else { ?><form name="form1" method="post" action=""> <?php foreach($options as $key => $value) { ?><p><?php echo($value); ?>: <input type="text" name="<?php echo($key); ?>" value="<?php echo($_POST[$key]);?>"></p> <?php } ?> <input name="Update" type="submit" value="Update"> </form> <?php } ?> </div> Hi, bit stuck on how to find and replace "<" and ">" with "<" and ">". I basically have a database record that outputs to screen and I need the code in the <code> tags to be rendered to the screen. I therefore need it to go through the whole array variable from the db and change the symbols just inside the code tags. Please be aware that the code tags might happen more than once here's an example below Code: [Select] <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1> </code> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1> </code> the desired output would be: <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1 </code> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1 </code> help on this would be great Cheers Rob Hi guys I am a newbie with PHP and I have been trying to solve this problem for 3 days..

Hi guys I'm struggling a bit, I need to replace a word that occurs multiple times in text with an array("up","down","forward","backwards") of words. $find = "left"; $replace = array("up","down","forward","backwards"); $text = "left left left left"; echo str_replace($find,$replace,$text); The Output is: array array array array Did try this with a foreach statement as well, but no luck. Is there a better way of doing this? Thanks cant work out this mysql syntax error "operation":"medupdate","medid":"","name":"ibo","medyear":"5","medmonth":"21","medday":"1","recuser":1,"SuccFail":"fail","SuccFailMessage":"error occured You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '''WHERE med_id=' at line 2","ResultData":""} Code: [Select] $sql="update metodology set med_description='".$req['name']."', med_year='".$req['medyear']."', med_month='".$req['medmonth']."', med_day='".$req['medday']."', med_recorddate= now(), med_recorduserid= 1'"; $sql.= " WHERE med_id=".$req['medid']; I am getting the following error when using composer: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"? Just started. I am pretty sure composer.json wasn't changed. journalctl doesn't show anything. Maybe Doctrine related, however, nothing seems to help.
Any ideas?

Any help on this would be truely appreciated! Thank you! So basically here is what Im trying to do: I have a site that has an employee roster on it...this roster obviously has the employees information including their email addresses next to their names. I am trying to create a script that will allow an employee to easily email another employee on the roster simply by clicking the email address for that employee. To sum this up (or make it even more confusing) ... If i have an email address LINK of "myname@company.com" next to an employees name and a person clicks on that link ... I need some code that will take that email address link (myname@company.com) and add it into the email script into the "$to" function so that when they submit the email form it will go to the employees email (myname@company). I have several employee on this roster so I need a universal script that takes the email links information (ie myname@company.com) and puts it into the mail.php script. I do not want to have to make individual email scripts for each employee just to add to change the "$to" variable on each script!!! So basically how do I add a "links information" into a php script ?? Does this make sense ??? Are you confused ?? I can TRY to explain better if need be. I have looked all over the internet for this and have searched this forum however I have not been able to find a solution to this. A step in the right direction would be great!!! Hi, I'm still in the "starting" phase of using PHP, but I made a little bit of login system to test my skills and learn new functions. I'm hoping the system is secure, easy to use, and can be used by someone. Since this is my first script, I wouldn't mind some feedback on technique, efficiency and security I don't know if anyone will find this useful, but I'll release it when it's finished (if people want it), since I know I'll find it useful not having to make a new login system every time! Download here. You'l need to change the database connection info in functions.php, and then run createbatabase.php to create the DB needed. hello, I was wondering what is the point of writing for a dropdown: <?php if ($_POST[inputfieldID] == "value") { echo "selected"; } ?> or for a checkbox/ radio button: <?php if ($_POST['cb/radioID'] == "value") { echo "checked"; } ?> I guess it's for after submit, if there is any error, the values filled will still be echoed in the inputfield, or am i wrong? But then if that is true, i have a php search box where i use AJAX object to to send all the input they filled in after submit. But after pushing submit the inputted values remain. I guess when using AJAX to send the information i don't need <?php if ($_POST[inputfieldID] == "value") { echo "selected"; } ?> in my html forms? Little confused Can maybe somebody bring clearness Hey guys! I have the following doubt: I have a php file that does the following alongside with other code not displayed he $fp = fopen("emails.txt", "w"); It opens a txt file called emails.txt that is in the same folder where the php is saved but how do I tell $fp = fopen("/folderbefore/emails.txt", "w"); ?? In other words, how do I write the path on the script that the emails.txt is located in a previous folder where the php file is located?? Thanks in advance for your help Cheers! Hi all, Using a form with check boxes divided into different categories, I collect data selected by the user. I now want to combine each choice in each category with each choice in the other categories and list the combinations to the user. If the user chooses one or more options in each category, it is relatively easy to nest foreach loops, since the number of categories will always be the same. For example, if the form contains three categories of options, the code will be: Code: [Select] foreach ($form['cat_1'] as $k1 => $val1) { foreach ($form['cat_2'] as $k2 => $val2) { foreach ($form['cat_3'] as $k3 => $val3) { echo $val1.' _ '.$val2.' _ '.$val3.'<br/>'; } } } Things get complicated if the user does not select options within a given category. More generally, I want to be able to generate the list regardless of the number of categories in which the user selects options. Thank you in advance for your advice. I would like a pretty simple email contact form to put on my website. I would like it to show the IP of the sender if possible, and make sure they use a valid email. Fields should be name, username (but not required), and comment. I would like the ability to just paste the code into a website page, and I can style it myself. Thanks I'm a very new PHP user (as in, I just started today) and need to make a set of navigation buttons which will take the user to "next" or "previous" pages. I assume that the $_GET function is involved, but I don't know how to do it. It needs to work like this: If the URL looks like "http://website.com/page1.php" I need the "next" button (a href image) to change it to "/page2.php", and while on page 2, for the "previous" button to take the user to "/page1.php" and so forth. How can I cause the page number to increment or decrease respective to the href image being clicked? |
