PHP - Enable And Disable Textarea Field..

I have a form that generates html code, and displays it in a textarea with submit button.

I want to submit button to take the data entered in that textarea1 on page 1, and upload to textarea2 on page 2
How can I do this? I have no idea where to start.

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?

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.

This is my first real jump into PHP, I created a small script a few years ago but have not touched it since (or any other programming for that matter), so I'm not sure how to start this.

I need a script that I can run once a day through cron and take the date from one table/filed and insert it into a different table/field, converting the human readable date to a Unix date.

Table Name: Ads
Field: endtime_value (human readable date)

to

Table Name: Node
Field: auto_expire (Converted to Unix time)

Both use a field named "nid" as the key field, so the fields should match each nid field from one table to the next.  Following a tutorial I have been able to insert into a field certain data, but I don't know how to do it so the nid's match and how to convert the human readable date to Unix time.  Thanks in advance!.

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?

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!!

Hi:
I'm going crazy trying to do the following:
I'm making a job registration process where the user registers on one php page to the website, must acknowlege and email receipt using an activate php page, then is directed to upload their C.V. (resume) based on the email address they enter in the active page output. I then run an upload page to store the resume in teh MySQL db based on the users email address in the same record.

If I isolate the process of the user registering to the db, it works perfectly.
If I isolate the file upload process into the db, it works perfect.
I simply cannot upload teh file to the existing record based on teh email form field matching the user_email field in the db.
With the processes together, teh user is activated, but teh file is not uploaded.

Maybe I've simply been at this too long today, but am compeled to get through it by end day.
If anyone can help sugest a better way or help me fix this, I will soo greatly appreciate it.

My code is as follows for the 2 pages.

---------activate.php-------
<?php
session_start();
include ('reg_dbc.php');
if (!isset($_GET['usr']) && !isset($_GET['code']) )
{
$msg = "ERROR: The code does not match..";
exit();
}
$rsCode = mysql_query("SELECT activation_code from subscribers where user_email='$_GET[usr]'") or die(mysql_error());
list($acode) = mysql_fetch_array($rsCode);
if ($_GET['code'] == $acode)
{
mysql_query("update subscribers set user_activated=1 where user_email='$_GET[usr]'") or die(mysql_error());
echo "<h3><center>Thank You! This is step 2 of 3. </h3>Your email is confirmed. Please upload your C.V. now to complete step 3.</center>";
} else
{ echo "ERROR: Incorrect activation code... not valid"; }

Thank you for uploading your <?php echo "$fileName"; ?> file, completing your registration, and providing us your C.V. for this position.

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)) ? (string)$psc->href : '';
mysql_query(sprintf("REPLACE INTO page_screenshots SET page_id = %d, description = '%s', uri = '%s', scr_type_id = %d, width = %d, height = %d, href = '%s'", $page_id, $psc->description, $psc->uri, $psc->scr_type_id, $psc->width, $psc->height, $href));

I'd appreciate your help with that...

(Another quite newbie...)
I have already an online booking form. The Form works fine now and I would like to add on one more issue, but the code ignores what I want to check. I have 4 fields: arrival, departure, no. of persons and comments to check.

Scenario 1:

All field mentioned above are emtpty: Workes fine and message appears: "You have not provided any booking details".

Scenario 2:

If arrival (date_start) and departure (date_end) is entered, there should be at least an entry either in the field "comment", or in the field "pax". If not, there should be a message: "You have not provided sufficient booking details".

INSTEAD: The booking request is sent, which should not be the case.

The code is currently:

      # all fields empty : arrival, departure, pax and comments - error

if(empty($data_start) && empty($data_end) && empty($pax)&& empty($comment)){
    exit("You have not specified any booking details to submit to us.
    <br>Please use your browser to go back to the form.
    <br>If you experience problems with this Form, please e-mail us");
    exit;
}
      #If arrival  and departure date is entered, there should be at least an entry

either in the field "comment", or in the field "pax".
      
if(!isset($data_start) && !isset($data_end) && empty($pax) && empty($comment)){
    exit("You have not provided sufficient booking details.
    <br>Please use your browser to go back to the form.
    <br>If you experience problems with this Form, please e-mail us");
    exit;
}

The form can be tested at http://www.phuket-beachvillas.com/contact-own/contact-it.php

Can someone please check and tell me what's wrong with the code ? Thanks to anyone for any hint.

Code: [Select]
$new_array2=array_diff($my_array,$itemIds);

$updatedb = mysql_query("UPDATE content_type_ads SET field_expire_value = '666' WHERE $new_array2 = field_item_id_value");
"$new_array2" has only 12 digit numbers for each item in the array, and I want to match them to the "field_item_id_value" field in the table, updating the "field_expire_value" field for the record where they match.  I know I am close because the UPDATE code works before I add the WHERE statement (it of course adds '666' to EVERY field, but for a noobie it's a start!).

Hi,
I'm developing an app using flash AS2 as the front end via PHP and a mySQL database at the backend on my server.

what i'm looking to do is update/insert into a table called 'cards' and at the same time update/insert into another table called 'jingle'. There is a field called 'cardID' in jingle that should be the same as the ID number created in 'cards' thus creating a link between entries in the different tables that can be called up as i choose.

hope i've been clear i just wouldn't know where to start any help would be appreciated.

How should it look if I want to make a query where a field value should be lower than another field?

Code: [Select]
....WHERE total_points<max_points");

ok so I have this code.  I need to know how to modify it so that if the user has already registered for the event, they cannot do so again.........how can I do this?  does this make sense? members that have already registered are held in a table called events..........userid, eventid, name, subevent.......
Code: [Select]
<?php

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Registration WHERE eventid=".$_GET['eventid']." LIMIT 1");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$eventid = $row["eventid"];
$event = $row["event"];
$startdate = $row["startdate"];
$enddate = $row["enddate"];
$description = $row["description"];
$location = $row["location"];
$title1 = $row['title1'];
$title2 = $row['title2'];
$title3 = $row['title3'];
$title4 = $row['title4'];
$title5 = $row['title5'];
$title6 = $row['title6'];
$title7 = $row['title7'];
$title8 = $row['title8'];
$price1 = $row['price1'];
$price2 = $row['price2'];
$price3 = $row['price3'];
