PHP - Need Some Brain Power
Okay, I have a 3 column table layout on my forum,
I want users to beable to select where they want 1 of there profile sections to go under, (and display order) either, left middle or Right side. See now I can code the javascript/etc ajax to make them update if selected to move to (any direction) But I need help to do it server side, what kind of value/row in my db should i use? just 1 field and use arrays? Also, let's say I want to move the "Calendar" to the middle or far right, and save that position, what kind of functions would i be working with (in php) I can prob do it if I use like 200 IF and ELSE conditions, but that would take way to long, any help? Similar TutorialsHi, I was wondering if I wanted lets say 3 to the power of 10 how can I do this in php? I searched a few places for some power to operator in PHP but no luck could some one tell me thanks? I think this problem requires LOTS of brainpower, and as I am absolutely convinced at this point that I have none, I was kind of hoping someone could steer me in the right direction at the very least. What I'm scripting right now is a search form that allows users to browse members based on what they type in the forms. There's about 8-10 forms of various criteria, such as age, country, birthdate, email, etc. And once they hit submit, all the information they typed gets sent to the url ($_GET, in other words). Now, the way I structured my script is like this: Code: [Select] <?php //If nothing was submitted (or if the url is completely blank) if ($_GET == array ()) { //Define a variable that will be used to query the members; in this case, it would select all members $query = "SELECT * FROM fans"; } else { //If the user typed at least one thing (in the form OR the url) if (count ($_GET) == 1) { //If what they typed is only for one criteria, define a variable that creates a query for only ONE criteria to search for $query = "SELECT * FROM fans WHERE"; foreach ($_GET as $field => $value) { $query .= " $field = '$value'"; } //If the user has typed in more than one field and hits search } else { //Define a variable for a query that selects members based off each criteria $query = "SELECT * FROM fans WHERE"; foreach ($_GET as $field => $value) { $query .= " $field LIKE '%$value%' AND"; } } } ?> Now, the problem with the above script is the very last part...defining a query to run if more than one field is selected. Because I'm using a foreach loop to structure that query, my options seem rather limited with what I can and can't do as far as querying the database. And the problem lies in where it says "$field LIKE '%$value%' AND". Because of the way the script is set up, the last $_GET variable will have "AND" at the very end, and when it runs through the mysql_query() function, it breaks, and does NOT work. Is there a way around this? I figure it probably requires some complex mathematical equation (one which I have absolutely no idea on how to create). Can anyone help? For some reason I cannot think today. Code: [Select] <?php class { function meh() { $blah = $this->profile(); echo $blah->weirdname; } function profile() { // this is where I'm stuck.. // how do I properly set weirdname? } } ?> It's been a while since I've played with classes (been doing other things) so how do I set up the function profile() to return a value for weirdname. It's one of those days after a long weekend and a rainy morning. Simply trying to get the correct message depending on the variable's value if($a = 'one'){ echo "POOR";} if($a = 'two'){ echo "GOOD";} if($a = 'three'){ echo "VERY GOOD";} if($a = 'four'){ echo "EXCELLENT";} Not sure if I need to use ==, extra quotes, or ELSEIF for the best result.
I am trying to create some navigation link with sublinks in a <ul> list. Here is the set up. Table = categories fields: id cattitle = title parentid = level of the link (0 = top level) cat_loc = the id value of the link that this link will be sublink of example: 1st link: id 1, title - home, parentid - 0, cat_loc - null; 2nd link: id - 5, title - info, parentid - 0, cat_loc - null; 3rd link: id - 6, title - test, parentid - 1, cat_loc - 5; so test should be a sublink of info. Here is what I have for code so far... <?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . './includes/magicquotes.inc.php'; include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . './includes/db.inc.php'; $result = mysqli_query($link, 'SELECT * From categories order by orderby asc'); if (!$result) { $error = 'Error getting categories: ' . mysqli_error($link); include 'error.php'; exit(); } while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) { $navlink[] = array('id' => $row['id'], 'cattitle' => $row['cattitle'], 'cat_loc' => $row['cat_loc'], 'parentid' => $row['parentid']); } echo '<ul>'; $count = 0; foreach ($navlink as $nav): { if ($nav['parentid'] == 0) { if ($count!=0){echo " | ";} echo '<li>' . '<a href="home.php?id=' . $nav['id'] . '"' . ' ' . 'title="' . $nav['cattitle'] . '">' . htmlspecialchars($nav['cattitle']) . '</a>'; $count++; } if ($nav['parentid'] != 0) { $result2 = mysqli_query($link, 'Select * From categories where "$nav[cat_loc]" = "$nav[id]"'); if (!$result2) { $error = 'Error getting categories: ' . mysqli_error($link); include 'error.php'; exit(); } echo '<ul>'; while ($row2 = mysqli_fetch_array($result2)) { $subnavlink[] = array('id' => $row2['id'], 'cattitle' => $row2['cattitle']); } foreach ($subnavlink as $subnav): { echo '<li>' . '<a href="home.php?id=' . $subnav['id'] . '"' . ' ' . 'title="' . $subnav['cattitle'] . '">' . htmlspecialchars($subnav['cattitle']) . '</a></li>'; } endforeach; } } endforeach; echo '</ul>'; yes I do have the php closed further down the page. Part of my problem is that the sublinks won't be in the database right after their parent links so I don't think the way I have my foreach loop set up is right. I know I don't have my <ul>'s and <li>'s closed correctly yet. I just want to get the subnavs to show up, I can fix those later. Any ideas? I have an array $INFO = array( 'joebob' => 'password', 'fred' => 'password', 'tom'=> 'password' ); how can i just do a simple check to see if a name and password match? something like if (in_array(can'tthink)); thanks Ok this should be straight forward but my tired brain cannot work this out. I'm creating a simple contact form and for some reason the validation isn't working. It wont go past the check fields are filled in validation. Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong? Code: [Select] <form method="get"> <h1 class='contact_form_h'>Contact Us</h1> <div id="login_response"></div> <input type='text' name='name' id='name' class='contact_form_input' value='Name' onfocus="if(!this._haschanged){this.value=''};this._haschanged=true;" /> <input type='text' name='email' id='email' class='contact_form_input' value='Email' onfocus="if(!this._haschanged){this.value=''};this._haschanged=true;" /> <textarea name='enquiry' id='enquiry' class='contact_form_textarea' rows='10' cols='10' onfocus="if(!this._haschanged){this.value=''};this._haschanged=true;">Enquiry</textarea> <input type='submit' name='contact' id='contact' class='contact_form_submit' value='Contact Us' /> </form> Code: [Select] <?php //Check if form is submitted if(isset($_GET['contact'])) { //Require check email function require "check_email.php"; //Variables $err_name=stripslashes($_GET['name']); $err_email=stripslashes($_GET['email']); $err_enquiry=stripslashes($_GET['enquiry']); $to="xxx@xxxx.com"; $subject="Website Contact Form"; $from = stripslashes($_GET['name'])."<".stripslashes($_GET['email']).">"; $message = $err_enquiry; $headers = "From: $from\r\n" .

" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\""; //Check all form fields are filled in if ($_GET["name"]!='' OR $_GET["name"]!='Name' OR $_GET["email"]!='' OR $_GET["email"]!='Email' ) { if (isValidEmail($_GET['email'])){ //Send Mail if (@mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) { echo "3 - sent"; } else{ echo "2 - not"; } } else { echo "1 - not valid"; } } else { echo"0 - Fill in"; } } ?> Below is the check email script. Code: [Select] <?php // This function tests whether the email address is valid function isValidEmail($email){ $pattern = "^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$"; if (eregi($pattern, $email)){ return true; } else { return false; } } ?> Please are going to start hating me about this haha. Hey guys i have been trying to do this for a few hours and my brain is hurting haha hope someone can help. Ok here is what i am trying to do.

Same goes for their messages. Sorry if im confusing you stay with me. Ok here is what i am trying to do (did i mention im fairly new to php so please if im doing something wrong dont hurt me (: ) $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM member_friends"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){ $friend_id = $row['friend_id']; // Ok this is where i want the while loop to loop through all of my friends // Ok set up the new filter im gunna get lost here now $sql = mysql_query("SELECT a.*,b.* FROM member_topics as a, member_friends as b WHERE (a.member_id = b.my_id OR a.member_id = b.my_id) AND ((b.friend_id = '$friend_id') AND b.my_id = '$my_id') ORDER BY a.message_id DESC"); // $my_id is a variable created from session so thats ok and the $friend_id i want that to change fromt he first loop so the statement changes for all of my friends. // Sorry for the query above i have tried that many i dont even know my gender anymore // So while loop in a while loop i think while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $message_id = $row['message_id']; $member_id = $row['member_id']; $message_contents = $row['message_contents']; $message_date = $row['message_date']; $message_type = $row['message_type']; $message_reported = $row['message_reported]; } } something like this hope someone can point me in the right direction before my brain fails thanks in advanced!!!!!!! hey peeps, I am trying to get my site to display related youtube videos under the main video here is what i have $query=mysql_query("SELECT title,mp3ID,youtube_ID FROM songs ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 10 ") or die("Error Occured"); $left = true; while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query)) { if ($left) { echo "<tr>"; } echo "<td align='justify' width='100%' cellspacing='2' cellpadding='2' >"; echo "<td><img src='http://img.youtube.com/vi/".$row['youtube_ID']."/default.jpg'></td>"; echo "<td nowrap><a href='/music.php?id=".$row['mp3ID']."'>".$row['title']."</a></td>"; echo"</td>"; if (!$left) { echo"</tr>"; } $left = !$left; } ?> this is basic info of how i am able to get youtube video titles and image....i want to use the same youtube.com video ID To get related videos please help!! I've been trying to wrap my head around this for about two hours now. The file uploads just fine, the entry goes into the database just fine, EXCEPT for the file name like it's supposed to do. I wrote the code from scratch... it worked fine, then it broke (that's the way it's supposed to work, right?) Anyways, if anyone could take a look-see and point out what I'm missing? I've tried throwing errors on all the queries, I've made sure the filename is passed from the upload form, the form does have the proper enctype. require 'dbconfig.php'; $title = escape($_POST['title']); $content= escape($_POST['content']); $time = time(); //Check the file. if (!empty($_FILES['attachment'])) { //$filename = the name as saved on user's the computer. //$filename = $_FILES['attachment']['name']; if($_FILES['attachment']['type'] === 'image/jpeg' || $_FILES['attachment']['type'] === 'image/jpg' || $_FILES['attachment']['type'] === 'application/pdf') { //Move the file only if it's uploaded. if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['attachment']['tmp_name'])) { //Whoops, an error. if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['attachment']['tmp_name'], './attachments/' . $_FILES['attachment']['name'])) { die('Error: File not uploaded. Please make sure it is a JPEG image or a PDF document.'); } else { $filename = $_FILES['attachment']['name']; } } } } if( $filename = '' || empty($_FILES['attachment'] )) { die('No attachment found. Please <a href="javascript: history.go(-1)">Go back</a>'); } if ($title === '') { die('News title is empty.

I used the great Simple SQL search tutorial provided by this site, but when I tried to customize it for my site, it keeps falling apart.

Okay guys. My brain has completely froze and I can't figure out how to do this. I have one date, that is somewhat static it doesn't change regularly but it changes. Anyway let's say this timestamp is: 2011-07-12 10:30:00 and the current timestamp is 2011-07-13 10:30:00 That's exactly a day difference, which will produce 86400 seconds. How would I write this in PHP? Hi all, for some reason I cant see this blantantly obvious query. I have 3 rows in my database, all with an id of 1, their is a column called price which contains three different float values, how the hell do I write a query in php for this?! Code: [Select] $q = mysql_query("SELECT price FROM mytable WHERE id=1") ????Thanks! |
