PHP - I Am Short On Ideas To Fix This Problem Please Help

I am re-using a simple script that works good to get random files  from a folder to get embed codes into a jquery slider(to embed videos)to create a video slider/gallery( http://www.awkward.se/demo/showcase/).The reason for the embed is there will be 50 and more videos in gallery and that's bad for page weight/page load.
 I have taken out the random element for this code because i just want videos to get embeded  when icons are clicked(the onclick is already set up with the jquery script-->no worry about that).
I have change a few things (in red) and i thought i would work, but i am really not sure how to make it work at this point???

I get this error message:
Quote

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type DirectoryIterator as array

The original random code to get files which works perfect:

Quote

<?php
function getRandomFile($path)
{
    $files = array();

    foreach( new DirectoryIterator($path) as $file )
    {
        if($file->isFile())
        {
            $files[] = $path . $file->getFilename();
        }
    }

    $i = array_rand($files);
    return $files[$i];
}

$path = "vids";
 
$file = getRandomFile($path);

$final= substr($file, 4);

?>

It inserts into the html like this:
Quote

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="280" height="210" id="FLVPlayer">
...
  <param name="FlashVars" value="&amp;MM_ComponentVersion=1&amp;skinName=Clear_Skin_2&amp;streamName=vids/<?php echo ($final); ?>&amp;autoPlay=false&amp;autoRewind=false" />
  <param name="swfversion" value="8,0,0,0" />
...
 


I modified it like this to get files to embed in the jquery gallery(changed values in blue):
Quote

<?php

function getEmbedFile($path)
{
    $filesEmbed = array();

    foreach( new DirectoryIterator($path) as $filesEmbed )
    {
        if($filesEmbed->isFile())
        {
            $filesEmbed[] = $path . $filesEmbed->getFilename();
        }
    }

    $i = array_rand($filesEmbed);
    return $filesEmbed[$i];
}

$path = "thumbEmbed";
$filesEmbed = getEmbedFile($path);
?>
<div>
<?php  echo ($filesEmbed); ?>


It inserts into the html like this:
Quote



<div class="showcase-thumbnail" >
<img src="images/ShowcaseThumbs/video1.GIF" alt="01" width="55px" />
<div class="showcase-thumbnail-caption">Play video 1</div>

To give you a better idea this a pic of the jquery slider:

How do I re write my code so it's 

   

 $itemAnnual0 = $values[0] * $periods[0];
    $itemAnnual1 = $values[1] * $periods[1];
    $itemAnnual2 = $values[2] * $periods[2];
...

$itemAnnual79 = $values[79] * $periods[79];

 

 

And for my previous post, I solved it.
 

Hey eveyone,

I have this great idea I would love to do but I have some questions and whenever I have questions I come here and they always get answered :-)

Anyway what do you guys know about SMS short codes (you know those commercials on TV that are like text ringtone1 to 555)? I did some quick reading and it seems they are super expensive?!? Is there anyway to get them free or cheaper if you can write your own code?

Has anyone had any experience with sms short codes?

Also is there anyway for a site to receive a SMS and then charge that persons service provider with php?

Thanks

Long Version Associative Array:

	/* associative array */
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC);
echo $row["name"]." ".$row["author_name"]." ".$row['price'];
	

Short Version Associative Array:

	($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
	

As in:

	 while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        echo $row["name"]." ".$row["class"]." ".$row['roll_no']."<br />";
	

Q1. Correct ?

 

Q2. Long Version Numeric Array:

	/* numeric array */
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_NUM);
echo $row[0]." ".$row[1]." ".$row[2];
	

Can you not do short Version like this :

	($row = mysqli_fetch_num($result))
	

As in:

	 while ($row = mysqli_fetch_num($result)) {
        echo $row["name"]." ".$row["class"]." ".$row['roll_no']."<br />";
	

 

Q3. Long Version "Both":

	/* associative and numeric array */
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_BOTH);
echo $row[0]." ".$row["author_name"]." ".$row[2];
	

Can you not do short Version like this:

	($row = mysqli_fetch_both($result))
	

As in:

	 while ($row = mysqli_fetch_both($result)) {
        echo $row["name"]." ".$row["class"]." ".$row['roll_no']."<br />";

I haven't really messed with PHP in like 2 years. Just little fixes on old scripts every now and then. I've been kind of in an argument with myself the past couple of days while writing a script.

The thing is I only have around 3 or 4 sets of information I need. Such as:

Code: [Select]
option1: information for option 1
option2: information for option 2
option3: information for option 3
etc..

NOW, at first I was doing this all in a text file. This information doesn't necessarily need to be private but i also don't want people to know what file needs to be edited right off the bat.

I don't see any reason at all for using databases here, I'd much rather stick to files.

I'm thinking it may be best to store this is strings in a seperate PHP file and include it? Then if I need to edit it, I can simply write a new file.

Any suggestions?

I am assuming doing the following is bad practice as the short name "Account" is both for the repository and account.  Agree?  Appears that use always takes precedent over namespace and just Account\User is always short for \NotionCommotion\Domain\Entity\Account\User and not \NotionCommotion\Api\Account\User.  Still sees like it could easily result in confusion.

namespace NotionCommotion\Domain\Repository\Account;
use NotionCommotion\Domain\Entity\Account;
class AccountRepository
{
    public function getUser(string $mainKey, int $userId):?Account\User {
        //
    }
}

Would it be better to do something like the following?  Interestingly, it worked fine on the below class but when I tried to do so on the above AccountRepository class, it resulted in AccountDir\User class not found error.  Is there any logic reason why that might/should happen, or is it more likely I just have some error elsewhere?

namespace NotionCommotion\Api\Account;
use NotionCommotion\Domain\Entity\Account as AccountDir;
class AccountService
{
    public function read():AccountDir\Account {
        //
    }
}

Can't fix it?

Code: [Select]
<?php
include('connect.php');
mysql_query("SELECT itemQty SUM(itemQty) FROM transactions Where itemDescription= 'raffle'") or die mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array( $result );

echo $row['sum(itemQty)'];
?>

Someone showed me a while ago this trick for loading variables, but it creates an error when you go to the page initially:

$fname = $_POST['fname'] ? $_POST['fname'] : null;

How do I write the short hand to run correctly?

As you can see, this array is setting each colorvalue to each idvalue.

Code: [Select]
<?php

include("config.php");
include("db.php");

$arrid=$_POST['id'];
$arrcolor=$_POST['color'];

foreach ($arrid as $idvalue)
{
foreach ($arrcolor as $colorvalue)
{
$sql = "UPDATE colors SET color='$colorvalue' WHERE id = '$idvalue'";
mysql_query($sql) or die("Error: ".mysql_error());
echo $sql;
}
}


header("Location: " . $config_basedir . "adminhome.php");

i have an admin page that lists all the rows from a table. One of the fields is generated using FCKEditor, so the field has HTML Code in it.  I would like to only show the first 100 or so chars of the field, but if the 100 chars ends in the middle of HTML code, specifically in this case <a href>, it cuts off, and creates "havoc" in my page.  Is there a way to avoid this by seeing that the 100 char is in the middle of an <a href> tag (or any tag for that matter?

Here is what the generated html can look like ::

<td class="tdresults">We are very excited to offer three great events at the <a href="http://www.mylongwebsite.c</td>
<td class="tdresults">next field data</td>

Thank you in advance.

Hey all,

I am in a situation where database management system needs to be up and running very quickly, which would store records of addresses possibly from all the properties in a particular US state. But it would only be 1 US state, not all. These records need to be updated and retrieved for particular campaigns. The programming solution (e.g. PHP) would need to be able to import csv files generated from excel and match the records in the database in order to know which fields to update. It seems like a lot of work to do this from scratch using PHP in the short-term, given time limitations. Hence, I was considering using Microsoft Access as a front end in the interim and then when time is available writing a web-based PHP/MySql application using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript front end to allow users to easily perform data entry. Does anyone think this is a smart course of action? Ideally a web PHP app would be more robust, but considering it needs to be done from scratch, it would be time consuming.

There's no right or wrong answer for this. I'm just looking for opinions. Thanks for any response.

Hello everyone

I want to know why are these functions discouraged because I have a problem

*****************
http://mx.php.net/manual/en/function.spliti.php
Warning
This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.

I have a long list of standard features of some products (90 features 1800 products) which I am integrating in a CMS. I have to elaborate a CREATE, READ and MODIFY section for the products and I was thinking of using check boxes and if statements with 90 columns in my DB for each feature. (I hope there is an easier way to do this)

Before I typed in all the features in one column and splited it with the previous functions mentioned, but it doesn't work for the modify section of the CMS.

I am trying to learn a method in which I can easily integrate this 90 standard features in the CMS. Does anyone has a good idea?
