PHP - Shorten Url In Custom Made Cms

Hey all,

I really like programming in PHP, but I'm still in the learning process.
And mostly, I'm not that good in making my code short.
This is now the case again.

I have this code which gets a lot of checkboxes, only checkboxes, out of a mysql database, for a planning project.
Now the code I have so far, retrieves the checkboxes, which are booleans in the database, and checks if they are True or False and sets the checkboxes respectively to checked="yes" or not.
This code works.
But I'm here to get tips on how to shorten my code, since it's very repetitive and thus long, which isn't quite efficient.

As I said, I'm still in learning process, so I hope you guys understand that I'm looking for help with this.
Thanks.

EDIT: Okay, I now suddenly see, that I can use elsif for True and False. This would be logical to do, and I can accomplish this easily. But it would be still very repetitive.

Here's the code:

Code: (php) [Select]
<?php
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

// UNCHECKED

if ($row['fact-sent'] == false){
$fact_sent = '<input type="checkbox" />';

}

if ($row['temp-website-approved'] == false){
$temp_website_approved = '<input type="checkbox" />';
}

if ($row['cms'] == false){
$cms = '<input type="checkbox" />';

}

}

Hello all,

I am using a simple iframe to include a facebook like box on my webpage.
Code: [Select]
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?id=<?php echo $pageID;?>&amp;width=<?php echo $width;?>&amp;colorscheme=<?php echo $colorScheme;?>&amp;show_faces=<?php echo $showFaces;?>&amp;connections=<?php echo $connection;?>&amp;stream=<?php echo $streams;?>&amp;header=<?php echo $header;?>&amp;height=<?php echo $height;?>" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:<?php echo $width;?>px; height:<?php echo $height;?>px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
The problem is that I want to limit the title of the facebook page to 15 characters.

Any ideas on how I could do this?

Ok, I have a log file that is written to. I only want the text file to have the last fifty lines (\n) delimited

So, how do I make it delete the excess from the TOP of the file?

So if it had 60 lines, I would want it to only have lines 10-60 to net 50 total.

Thanks.

I'm sure it's not much, but I'm not understanding something with custom error handlers:

I've created a custom error handler, which I initially set when my page loads :

set_error_handler(array ( new ErrorHandler(), 'handleError' ));

 

It seems to catch all internal PHP errors, such as if I: var_dump($non_existing_var); right after the set_error_handler....

Now, I have an object that throws an exception after:

set_error_handler(array ( new ErrorHandler(), 'handleError' )); 
$locale = new \CorbeauPerdu\i18n\Locale(...); // this should throw an exception 
...

I thought that with an error handler set, I could 'skip' the try/catch for it, but doing so, PHP spits out in its internal log:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught CorbeauPerdu\i18n\LocaleException: ....

 

My error handler doesn't catch it at all before, thus my page breaks!!

If I want it to go through the error handler, I have to init my Locale with a try/catch and use trigger_error() like so:

set_error_handler(array ( new ErrorHandler(), 'handleError' ));

try { 
  $locale = new \CorbeauPerdu\i18n\Locale(...); // this should throw an exception 
}
catch(Exception $e) { 
  trigger_error($e->getMessage(), E_USER_ERROR); 
} 
...

Is this normal ? I thought one of the goals of the error_handler was to catch anything that wasn't dealt with?

Thanks for your answers!

Hi, 

Hi!

I have started a big project with some of my friends.
Its some kind of CMS system.
Now, for quick commands we wanted something like cmd on windows.
Is it possible to build a script that would be something like cmd/a console.
Of course it would be a webpage and not a separate window.
I could do this myself with a input field and a form using the POST method.
But I wouldn't wan't to refresh the page every time I run a command.
So something that works like the input field, form with the POST method, but without needing to refresh every time.

Ask if I didn't make it clear enough!

Regards
Kevin

Hey guys basically with a simple script that I made I need some help with it's doing my head in.

What i'm trying to do is allow multiple filetypes to be shown by readdir, i want both .zip and .rar to be in the list, not just .zip how would i add .rar in this method as well to be visible on readdir?

<?php
$dirname = "/home/test/";
$dir = opendir($dirname);
$extension = array_pop(explode(".", $file));

?>

<?php
while(false != ($file = readdir($dir)))
{
 if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && array_pop(explode(".", $file)) == "zip") {
echo("





<b>&raquo; <a href='$dirname$file'>$file - Download</a> <br />     </b>



");
}
}

?>

Hi all,

I was playing a bit around with results from a database and thought lets give them a nice order in a table, so i thought i set the class per row, so my style sheet can finish it. This is what i got and it works. But some 6th sense whispers me that this can be done smoother. If anyone has ideas or tips let me know i have a lot to learn in php. and after all want to be a good code writer in php.


// start table
echo '<table class="users">
    <th>name</th><th>email</th><th>active</th>';
$odd = 1;
$num = 1;
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
//
if( $odd == $num%2 ){
       $evenodd = 'odd';
       $num++;
    }else{
       $evenodd = 'even';
       $num++;
    }
//
   echo'<tr class="'.$evenodd.'"><td>'.$row['name'].'</td><td>'.$row['email'].'</td><td>'.$row['accept'].'</td><tr>';
}
echo '</table>';


thanks

so I am about to start on a small object oriented project, for practice/learning etc.
I have 5 files in a folder called "objects" : (obj1.php obj2.php obj3.php obj4.php obj5.php) .
I then created a "classloader.php" with the following code:
Code: [Select]
<?php
include "objects/obj1.php";
include "objects/obj2.php";
include "objects/obj3.php";
include "objects/obj4.php";
include "objects/obj5.php";
?>
and then finally my main page (for the sake of testing):
Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<head>
<title>...</title>
</head>
<?php include "classloader.php"; ?>
<body>
<header></header>
<nav></nav>
<section>
<?php 
object1();
object2();
object3();
object4();
object5();
?>
</section>
<footer></footer>
</body>
What is the best way to handle the loading of objects in php? I think I am doing it somewhat wrong. Anyone lend me some more info here?
thanks much.

I have this query that fully works the way it is, but I am wondering if I am overdoing some things in it.  I know this may be hard to tell without knowing the full relationship between all the tables in the query.  I'm basically running 3 subqueries mostly based on a timestamp value and other specific clauses per subquery.  Where the main query is only gathering based on the timestamp.   Like I said it works perfect from what I can verify by cross referencing the tables manually and checking the results the query returned.  I just want to know if there is a better way to do all this.

SELECT `products`.`id` AS `pid`, `products`.`prod_name`,
 
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `products` 
INNER JOIN `quote_deposits` ON `quote_deposits`.`product_id` = `products`.`id`
INNER JOIN `quote_responses` ON `quote_responses`.`id` = `quote_deposits`.`q_id`
WHERE `quote_responses`.`purchased` = 0 AND `quote_deposits`.`dep_date` >= $committed_start
) AS `committed`, 

(SELECT COUNT(`products`.`id`) FROM `products` 
  INNER JOIN `quote_deposits` ON `quote_deposits`.`product_id` = `products`.`id`
  INNER JOIN `quote_responses` ON `quote_responses`.`id` = `quote_deposits`.`q_id`
  WHERE `quote_responses`.`purchased` = 1 AND `products`.`id` = `pid` AND `quote_deposits`.`dep_date` >= $committed_start

Hi,
I have a form with a submit button (Delete button). after I click the button I do few changes in database.
Problem is that in this form, after the submit made, it still shows me old data that deleted....

So, I guess I need somehow to make a page refresh through a GET method.
How do I do this?
Thank u!
