PHP - Simple Function
Ok people I'm trying to write a simple function that will pass a blank string back to my form when the clear button is clicked, but for some reason it will not clear my form. I can't figure this out I have written other functions that have worked, but for some reason this has me stumped. Here is my function
Code: [Select] //function to clear variables function clearVars(&$j, &$k) { $workValue = ""; $workType = ""; } Code: [Select] $workValue = (isset($_POST['vfld']))?$_POST['vfld']:''; $workType = (isset($_POST['tfld']))?$_POST['tfld']:''; if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { if ($_POST['submit'] == "Clear") { clearVars($vfld,$tfld); } elseif ($_POST['submit'] == "Calculate") { getVars($vfld,$tfld,$calc); $continue = testVars(); if ($continue == "yes") { switch ($workType) { case "circle": calcCircle($workValue); break; case "square": calcSquare($workValue); break; case "triangle": calcTriangle($workValue); break; } } } } ?> <form method="post" action="hw06.php" id="form1" name="form1"> <p> Enter a number here : <input type="text" id="vfld" name="vfld" value="<?php echo $workValue; ?>"/> </p> <p> This number is: <br /> <input type="radio" name="tfld" value="circle" <?php if ($workType == "circle") { echo 'checked="checked"'; } ?> /> : the radius of a circle <br /> <input type="radio" name="tfld" value="square" <?php if ($workType == "square") { echo 'checked="checked"'; } ?> /> : the length of one side of a square <br /> <input type="radio" name="tfld" value="triangle" <?php if ($workType == "triangle") { echo 'checked="checked"'; } ?> /> : the length of one side of an equilateral triangle </p> <p> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Calculate" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Clear" /> </p> </form> <div id="footer"> <pre>This page written by: <cite>The President</cite> ©2011 and beyond</pre> </div> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsHello I am trying to create a simple update function. but it is giving me syntax error.

And depending what options they pick they get a price out put... im missing something so simple, I know it should only take a couple lines of code and simply repeat it wiht else if until you hit the end of all possible options. Can some one please help? Thanks This topic has been moved to PHP Applications. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=344481.0 but never on the first call. Okay, I posted this on StackOverflow but no one there seems to have an answer either. I have this simple function: Code: [Select] public function delete($messageID) { $type = $this->findType($messageID); if ($type == 'in') { foreach ($this->inArr as $key => $value) { if ($this->inArr[$key]->messageID != $messageID) $implodeData[$key] = $this->inArr[$key]->messageID; } if (!isset($implodeData)) $imploded = '0'; else $imploded = implode(',', $implodeData); $result = $this->_database->updatePMUser('inArr', $imploded, 'UID', $this->UID); $result2 = $this->_database->deletePM('messageID', $messageID); return; } else { foreach ($this->sentArr as $key => $value) { if ($this->sentArr[$key]->messageID != $messageID) $implodeData[$key] = $this->sentArr[$key]->messageID; } if (!isset($implodeData)) $imploded = '0'; else $imploded = implode(',', $implodeData); $result = $this->_database->updatePMUser('sentArr', $imploded, 'UID', $this->UID); $result2 = $this->_database->deletePM('messageID', $messageID); return; } } It is a delete function for a private messaging program for a forum script I'm writing. Anyway, here's the issue - it works! But only sometimes. It is called in 3 different places, always from a form processing class I have, once in the view message section to delete a message you're viewing, in a foreach from the sentbox options section and then a foreach in the inbox options section. The inbox and sentbox option sections do that whole "delete the checked messages" for the mass removal functionality. The delete function above works in all ways shapes and forms when I use it in single calls - like when I'm deleting a message while viewing it or when I only check one message from the inbox, etc - but when I call it multiple times (as in I have checked multiple messages) - it fully deletes one (both the message and the reference to the message in the user's db row) and then only deletes the actual message on the others (deleting the message is the call to deletePM - deleting the reference is the call to updatePMUser). Okay, if you need further information - the function above checks the type the message is (in the inbox or in the sentbox) and then uses that to foreach through that array (inArr or sentArr) of the user. It logs in all the messageIDs of the those that DON'T match the one we're deleting and then at the end it implodes those caught IDs into a string that is then updated in the user's row as a comma separated string of values each representing a message in the DB - you get the picture. I realize I have some trimming to do (for one I can cut the above function down by about half by using variable variables) but I'll get to that after I get the thing working. I can't figure out why it's doing what it's doing. If you need the function that calls this in the foreach, I have it below. Oh, and the thing that really boggles me is that this function is called fully for each checked message in the foreach - it fully returns and then loops - if it works once, I don't see how it wouldn't work on a second call from a loop - the variables it uses should be trashed when it leaves the function, they aren't global or object properties or anything. Color me confused. Thanks for any help, oh, here's one of the functions that calls it to delete checked messages (this one is for the sentbox, there is another for the inbox): Code: [Select] private function _processSelectedSent() { $pmObj = unserialize(base64_decode($_POST['pmObj'])); $i=1; foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) { if ($value == 'marked') { $checkedArray[$i] = $key; $i++; } } if ($_POST['submitter'] == 'Delete Selected') { if (is_array($checkedArray)) { foreach ($checkedArray as $key => $value) $pmObj->delete($value); } else $pmObj->delete($checkedArray[1]); header("Location: ".HOME_PAGE.PM_PAGE."?view=sentbox&nocache=".time()); } } Hello all, I used simple php email function but it send an email in junk folder or spam.

You Are Registered And Can Now Login Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/aretheyh/public_html/nealeweb.com/regcheck.php:43) in /home/aretheyh/public_html/nealeweb.com/regcheck.php on line 46 Hello all, I have some piece of code that is nested like this $variable = 'This is a global argument'; function parentFunction($variable) { function childFunction() { echo 'Argument of the parent function is '.$GLOBALS['variable']; } childFunction(); } parentFunction(5); What I want to know is - Is there a way to access a variable from the parent function without passing arguments to the child function? (Something like how classes have parent::?). I don't want to use $GLOBALS because it might cause some variable collision, and I didn't want to pass arguments because incase I decide to change the arguments in the parent function I'd have to do it in the child function aswell. From my searching around in the Internet it seems like this is not possible, but if theres a slight chance that there might be something out there, i'm willing to give it a shot . Thanks in advance Question 1) Is the only and proper way to call a parent function "parent::function()"? Are there other/better ways from within a child function? Question 2) What are the deciding factors for when to make a function or attribute static? How do you make that decision? Assuming 5.3... Thanks. I have this function completely written in my class file that I am working on. The point to this function is to be able to check the login of a user or administrator for either of the control panels associated with my site. It will check the session intime as well as the page / module referenced. Once it passes all those checks, it will check and ensure the emailaddress/password stored in the current session still holds true and the account is still active... if the account is still active it will update the lastActivity as well as update all of the session variables with what is currently in the database. What I am looking for is basically a look at the function, see if it looks good.. If there is any part to it that could create security holes for the site just off the login function itself... Usage: $q->validUser($_SESSION['user'], $_mod); <?php function validUser($sess, $p) { if ($sess['inTime'] == '' && $p != 'login' && $p != 'logout') { session_destroy(); $login = '0'; $_int = ''; return $login; } else if ($sess['inTime'] < time()-3600 && $p != 'login') { $sess['inTime'] = ''; session_destroy(); $this->check_login($sess, $p); } else { $this->user = $sess['emailAddress']; $this->pass = $sess['password']; $login = $this->sql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE emailAddress = '".$this->user."' AND password = '".$this->pass."' AND status = '1' LIMIT '1'"); if ($login = $this->sql_numrows($login) < 1) { $sess['inTime'] == ''; session_destroy(); $login = '0'; } else { // logged in, lets update the database for last_activity AND the session. $this->sql_query("UDATE users SET lastActivity = '".now()."' WHERE emailAddress = '".$this->user."'"); $login = $this->sql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE emailAddress = '".$this->user."' AND password = '".$this->pass."' AND status = '1' LIMIT '1'"); $login = mysql_fetch_assoc($login); foreach ($login as $key => $value) { $sess[$key] = $value; } $sess['inTime'] = time(); $login = '1'; } return $login; } } ?> That is the main function, sql_query and sql_numrows is: <?php function sql_query($query = "", $transaction = FALSE) { unset($this->query_result); if ($query != "") { $this->num_queries++; if ($transation == BEGIN_TRANSACTION && !$this->in_transation) { $result = mysql_query("BEGIN", $this->db_connect_id); if (!$result) { return false; } $this->in_transaction = TRUE; } $this->query_result = mysql_query($query, $this->db_connect_id); } else { if ($transaction == END_TRANSACTION && $this->in_transaction ) { $result = mysql_query("COMMIT", $this->db_connect_id); } } if ($this->query_result) { unset($this->row[$this->query_result]); unset($this->rowset[$this->query_result]); if ($transaction == END_TRANSACTION && $this->in_transaction ) { $this->in_transaction = FALSE; if (!mysql_query("COMMIT", $this->db_connect_id)) { mysql_query("ROLLBACK", $this->db_connect_id); return false; } } return $this->query_result; } else { if ($this->in_transaction ) { mysql_query("ROLLBACK", $this->db_connect_id); $this->in_transaction = FALSE; } return false; } } function sql_numrows($query_id = 0) { if(!$query_id) { $query_id = $this->query_result; } return ($query_id) ? mysql_num_rows($query_id) : false; } ?> Any insight that can help to benefit these functions would be appreciated. I need to call usort from a class function, and I'm puzzled about how to define the comparison function. I've tried to define the comparison function in the same class, but I can't get usort to call it. I found one hint that it will work if I make the comparison function static, but I tried that, and it didn't work for me. If I define the comparison function outside the class, it won't have access to object properties that it needs to operate. The only solution I can think of is to define the comparison function outside the class and put the object properties it needs in globals. Is there a cleaner way to do this? I want to define a function instead of repeating query in all my php pages. I call a function by passing an $id value and from that function i have to get all the info related to that id, like name, description and uom.
I am trying to do this, but i dont know how to get these values seperately.
here is my function
function items($item_id) { $details = array(); $result = mysql_query("select item_id, name, uom, description from items where item_id=".$item_id."") or die (mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $details[] = array((stripslashes($row['name'])), (stripslashes($row['uom'])), (stripslashes($row['description']))); } return $details; }and i call my function like this $info = items($id);Can somebody guide me in this When I put this chunk of code into it's own function: function fetch_all ($dbc, $query) { include ('knuffix_list_func.php'); pagination_start ($dbc, $query); $offset = $pag_array[0]; $rows_per_page = $pag_array[1]; $query = $query . " LIMIT $offset, $rows_per_page"; echo "test query: " . $query; knuffix_list ($query, $dbc); pagination_end ($pag_array); } And when I echo out the query as you can see in the example, then I notice that the variables $offset and $rows_per_page never get appended. I set the variable $pag_array to a global inside the function pagination_start(). It usually works when I DON'T wrap a function around this chunk of code, but if I do wrap a function around everything then the global suddenly won't work anymore. Btw, this also won't work if I wrap a function around the function DECLARATIONS. Any ideas, how I could make it work? Hi I have a table class and functions I want to call in another function but can't get it working. Some help will be very welcome. It seesm that the new table class is not working in this function if I pass the values to it, I have tested the class, it does get the post values I post to it so $_POST['id'] are being received as well as all the other $_POST's but the table class and find function is not working, it works fine if I don't put it in a function.. function edit() { if (isset($error)){ $error.="Please fix the error(s) above";} else { if ($_POST['id'] <> "") { $update =& new table($db, 'publisher'); $update->find($_POST['id']); $update->name = $_POST['name']; $update->url = $_POST['url']; $update->contact = $_POST['contact']; $update->address = $_POST['address']; $update->phone = $_POST['phone']; $update->email = $_POST['email']; $update->save(); $error = "The Publisher has been edited"; } } } im using a function which connects to a db called 'comments' and then inside that function i again called another function that will connect to the db 'main' to get avatars.... but as i put Code: [Select] mysql_select_db("main") or die(mysql_error()); on the new function, the original function stops to fetch rows. i tried to remove "mysql_select_db("main") or die(mysql_error());" and used the new function to return some text only and it worked, so i guess the connection to the db was the problem... i tried doing Code: [Select] mysql_query("SELECT * FROM main.avatar INNER JOIN main.list ON main.avatar.title=main.list.id WHERE main.avatar.page_id='$id'"); but it also didnt work Hi all, I want to call a javascript function from a php function like this: public function Buscar() { $HoraInicio = $_POST['edtHoraInicio']; $HoraFin = $_POST['edtHoraFin']; $FechaInicio = $_POST['edtFec1']; $FechaFin = $_POST['edtFec2']; $FechaMax = $FechaFin." ".$HoraFin.":00"; $FechaMin = $FechaInicio." ".$HoraInicio.":00"; $_GET["FechaMax"] = $FechaMax; $_GET["FechaMin"] = $FechaMin; echo $FechaMin; echo "<script language=javascript>alert('Hi.')</script>"; } but the function Buscar never show the alert but shows the $FechaMin I hopu u guys can help me out with this probem Thanks, Siddhartha I've followed the PHP Freaks pagination tutorial which you can find here. And I also got it to work, the only problem is that the script won't work when I use the query outside of the function. Here's the function: <?php function knuffix_list ($query, $dbc) { // find out how many rows are in the table: $query_row = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM con"; $query_run = mysqli_query ($dbc, $query_row); $row = mysqli_fetch_row($query_run); $num_rows = $row[0]; // number of rows to show per page $rows_per_page = 5; // find total pages -> ceil for rounding up $total_pages = ceil($num_rows / $rows_per_page); // get the current page or set a default if (isset($_GET['current_page']) && is_numeric($_GET['current_page'])) { // make it an INT if it isn't $current_page = (int) $_GET['current_page']; } else { // default page number $current_page = 1; } // if current page is greater than total pages then set current page to last page if ($current_page > $total_pages) { $current_page = $total_pages; } // if current page is less than first page then set current page to first page if ($current_page < 1) { $current_page = 1; } // the offset of the list, based on current page $offset = (($current_page - 1) * $rows_per_page); echo "test " . $query; // SCRIPT ONLY WORKS IF I INSERT QUERY HERE $query = "SELECT * FROM con, user WHERE con.user_id = user.user_id ORDER BY contributed_date DESC LIMIT $offset, $rows_per_page"; $data = mysqli_query ($dbc, $query) or die (mysqli_error ($dbc)); // Loop through the array of data while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array ($data)) { global $array; // Variables for the table $con_id = $row['con_id']; $likes_count = $row['likes']; $dislikes_count = $row['dislikes']; $dbuser_name = $row['nickname']; $dbuser_avatar = $row['avatar']; $user_id = $row['user_id']; // The TABLE echo "<table padding='0' margin='0' class='knuffixTable'>"; echo "<tr><td width='65px' height='64px' class='avatar_bg' rowspan='2' colpan='2'><img src='avatar/$dbuser_avatar' alt='avatar' /></td>"; echo "<td class='knuffix_username'><strong><a href='profile.php?user=$dbuser_name' title='Profile of $dbuser_name'>" . $dbuser_name .

I put the test echo above the query to see how the query looks like when I induce the query from the outside through the function parenthesis into the function, and this is what I get printed out: test SELECT * FROM con, user WHERE con.user_id = user.user_id ORDER BY contributed_date DESC LIMIT , Obviously the $offset and the $rows_per_page variables are not set, when I induce the query from the outside into the function. So in that sense my question is: How can I induce the query from the outside into the function SO THAT the $offset and the $rows_per_page variables are set as well and NOT empty? p.s. I need the query outside of the function because I'm using a sort by category functionality. |
