Perhaps a slight trouble, but I can not solve it:   Match only path like: Trainings/1/test.pdf   but dont match one more directory like this: Trainings/1/4/other.pdf   Any suggestions?

I know this is a rookie question but whats actually happening with a progress bar what is it actually monitoring.

I figure the only way to understand it is to get this answer.

when i run a piece off php code how can i get a progress bar to monitor it while it runs untill completion off the code??

most progressbars i have seen are file upload and download. is it monitoring the amount off requests the browser sends when upload the file so its monitoring the bytes that are being transfer?

Can someone please give me a better understanding off whats going on?

I just want a simple progress bar to monitor progress while my php code is running so say if i am running this simple code to backup a websites files and folders, how could i do this???

Code: [Select]
<?php if ( isset($_POST['backup']) ) {
      if(exec("cd {$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/wp-content/plugins/s3bk/files;tar -cvpzf backup.tar ".get_option(    'isd-server')."")) { echo "done"; } 
}
<form id="backup" method='post' action=''>
<input type='submit' class="button" name='backup' value='backup'>
sorry for the rookie question just really want to get my head around whats actually happening???

Thanks

Hello everyone.

I'm in the making of a dynamic (hopefully) site to let people browse, listen and download the music I've made through the years, where I can use an upload form (uploading a file + some relevant info) to automatically make a ... song.php?id=*** site. (By now you know, I'm totally clueless )

I've set up a database, an upload form, it's tested, everything works so far (a file gets uploaded to the server, and relevant info is posted to the db).
The problem is, I dont know how to use this effectively.

I'm able to retrieve a Title through searching for a specific artisthandle, like so:

Code: [Select]
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM uploading
WHERE Artist='artistname'");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo "..: Artistname";
  echo "<br />";
  echo $row['Title'];
  echo "<br />";
  }
But from here on out, I don't know - and I really fail to find tutorials (which have been my only source as of now).

In general, I want my site to, systematically, work much like e.g. www.ctgmusic.com. How is it set up? How do you make ...php/?id='''   pages? How does it work?
What variables or functions do I need to use?

If anyone have an easy-going tutorial on these basics, I would be extatic!
Hope to hear from you

I'm a little confused with the use of absolute paths in PHP.  I've always used relative paths but it's becoming an issue with some of the apps I'm working with and absolute would solve the problem.

The thing is, I'm getting different results in different places and I'm a little confused.

With regular HTML I seem to be able to use / as the root of my site.  So if I do the following...

Code: [Select]
<img src="/images/name.jpg" />
That works fine no matter what page it's called from in the site and no matter what directory that page is in.  I need to be able to do that same thing with PHP.

Now, in my custom 404 page I have the following...

Code: [Select]
if($AddressURL == 'http://www.domain.com/blog/files/filename.zip')
{
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: /download/filename.zip');
exit();
}

That actually works just fine. If I go to the /blog/files/filename.zip (which doesn't exist) in a web browser it winds up downloading the file at www.domain.com/download/filename.zip as expected. 

Now where I get confused is that include files don't seem to work like that with PHP.  If I do this...

Code: [Select]
require_once('/includes/config.php');

That winds up looking for an /includes folder all the way back at the local server root, not just the web root.  so it's looking for /var/includes instead of /var/www/includes and of course that doesn't end up working.

So, how come the include file paths work differently than regular HTML paths or header redirects in PHP?  Is there any simple way I can always refer to the SITE root no matter what server it's running from?  I've tried playing with $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] but it only seems to return the root of the current document, not the root of the whole site.  So if I use it within a php file located in /var/www/includes/test.php it considers /includes the root which is not what I want.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

I have been trying to insert data into my database thru php script with no luck. I think its has to do with not being able access my database. My question is when I use MySQL command client and enter the password and get mysql> does that mean I can use that password to access my databases as long as  I point to the correct database with the mysqli_connect function. I dont think I fully understand how this works.  I have everything stored on my local computer and I use "localhost" in mysqli_connect function.

hey guys how you all doing? ok im really looking for some help i've been playing with this code for quite some time now and still not got the hang of it. i'm currently trying to code a dynamic website as a portfolio for my designs and im trying to get to view the news.php file with an 'id' to view in the index file using an include() but for some reason its not happening very well.

i keep getting the error message:

Warning: include(inc/news.php?id=) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No error in C:\xampplite\htdocs\lukerodham\old\index.php on line 218

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'inc/news.php?id=' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\xampplite\php\PEAR') in C:\xampplite\htdocs\lukerodham\old\index.php on line 218

just wondering if anyone could shed any light on what i may have done wrong thanks guys ive left part of the code below if this will help.

Code: [Select]
  <?php 
  $page = $_GET['page'];
  $news = $_GET['id'];
  
  if(!$page){
    getnews();
  }
  else {
    if($page = news){
        include("inc/news.php?id=".$news);
    }
    else 
        include("inc/".$page.".php");
  }
  ?>

I am running the code in the header in the title brackets.   here is the code. The last else doesn't display my home page title any help would be great thank you very much...

<title>
<?
if (isset($_GET['id']))

      if($_GET['id'] == '1')
      {
        echo "LBT Services Page";

   else if($_GET['id'] == '2')
   {
          echo "About LBT";
     }
   else if($_GET['id'] == '3')
     {
          echo "Contact LBT";

Hi Guys,

I'm pulling a html page from a database (html newsletter). In the code I have links that will open a lightbox and allow the user to add news articles into it via ajax. So the html is being updated without being send back to the browser.

I have a "save" button which when the user clicks, I want to grab all of the html of the page and save it to the database. Not quite sure how to do this as the html that is being saved, is updated since it was retrieved by the browser.

Does anyone know how I would display a dynamic page title to my content pages?

I currently have my index.php displaying the title for my page, but the content that i am displaying dynamicly also uses this title, want these pages to have their own titles..

Thanks

Hey,

I'm trying to make a dynamic php website. So far it's been working fine. All my pages are in a page folder and with my code I'm able to access it via "index.php?page=nameofphpfile" etc. Now I added a page under there with a similar code to the index and it is conflicting.

This is the code for the index.php
$page=$_GET['page'];
if ($page)
{
include("pages/".$page.".php");
}
else
{
echo "This Page Does Not Exist.";
}
}

On my skin.php page when I try to put a GET variable in, I get the word THIS PAGE DOES NOT EXIST.

I'm really stuck and need help, I know it's brief so please help me out here!
