PHP - First Iteration Of Foreach Much Slower Than Rest
Specific question with general application here. i am having some trouble with a loop and am getting some odd timing results
specifically this is a WMI query on a hyper-v server retrieving disk information but im not sure the context of the query is relevant here. The main question is how come the first iteration of the loop is so much slower than the other iterations, it just doesnt seem to make sense to me unless ive done something stupid here i cannot see. any ideas ? Code: [Select] <?php $diskstart = microtime(true); // get the hard disk size try { $resultDisk = $wmi->ExecQuery("SELECT BlockSize,NumberOfBlocks FROM msvm_LogicalDisk where systemname like '%" . $guid . "%' and name='Hard Disk Image'"); $ct=0; $start1 = microtime(true); $start = microtime(true); foreach($resultDisk as $itemDisk) { $end = microtime(true); echo "<BR>FOREACH: [" . Round($end-$start,3) . "] seconds"; $vm[$name]['disks'][$ct] = ($itemDisk->BlockSize * $itemDisk->NumberOfBlocks)/1024; // format the disk size into KB $ct++; $start = microtime(true); } $end1 = microtime(true); echo "<br> ALLLOOP: [" . Round($end1-$start1,3) . "] "; } catch(exception $e) { } $diskend = microtime(true); echo "<br>DISK: [" . ($diskend-$diskstart) . "] seconds"; ?> and here are the results Code: [Select] FOREACH: [1.236] seconds FOREACH: [0.001] seconds FOREACH: [0.001] seconds FOREACH: [0.001] seconds FOREACH: [0.002] seconds FOREACH: [0.001] seconds FOREACH: [0.001] seconds FOREACH: [0.001] seconds FOREACH: [0.001] seconds FOREACH: [0.001] seconds FOREACH: [0.001] seconds ALLLOOP: [2] DISK: [2.1837468147278] seconds Similar Tutorialshi I'm coding a page and I was trying to iterate an iteration. but it doesn't seem to work. is this possible in php? Code: [Select] $pageTpl->setIteration('iPlaylist'); // loop all collections and output them foreach ($playlists as $playlist) { // assign collection & urls in template $pageTpl->assignIteration('playlist', $playlist['Title']); $pageTpl->refillIteration(); $pageTpl->setIteration('iMusic'); foreach ($songs as $song){ $pageTpl->assignIteration('path', STREAMING_PREFIX.substr($song['Filename'], 7)); $pageTpl->assignIteration('songId', $song['SongId']); $pageTpl->assignIteration('title', $song['Title']); $pageTpl->assignIteration('artist', $song['Artist']); $pageTpl->assignIteration('time', FYMFunctions::Sec2hms($song['Length'])); $pageTpl->assignIteration('genre', $song['Genre']); $pageTpl->assignIteration('delete', 'removeSong('.$song['SongId'].')'); $pageTpl->refillIteration('iMusic'); } // parseIteration $pageTpl->parseIteration('iMusic'); } // refillIteration $pageTpl->refillIteration(); // parseIteration $pageTpl->parseIteration('iPlaylist'); this is the piece of code... did I do anything wrong? Hello, I have two classes: Code: [Select] abstract class Serializable { public function serialize() { foreach($this as $member => $value) { $publicObject->$member = $value; } return $publicObject } } class ToSerialize extends Serializable { public function otherSerialize() { foreach($this as $member => $value) { $publicObject->$member = $value; } return $publicObject } } $foo = new ToSerialize(); $foo->serialize(); //This will return one thing $foo->otherSerialize(); //This will return something different Why does this happen?

$client ->indices()->create($mapping)
//Now index the documents
for ($i = 0; $i <= count($paths); $i++) {
$params ['body'][] = array(
'index' => array(
'type' => 'documents'
'body' => array(

)
);
//Every 1000 documents stop and send the bulk request.
if($1 % 1000) {
$responses = $client->bulk($params);
// erase the old bulk request
$params = array();
// unset the bulk response when you are done to save memory
unset($responses);
}
}
?>
I am looking to index a large amount of documents using elastic search and php. I have a very complex directory filled with other directories that i need to index into an array. I wanted to see if my code looked right, and if not what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

To solve a bigger issue I'm having in WordPress, I have thrown together this basic script in PHP script to help me get to the bottom of it. Basically, I am trying to add a <hr /> tag after every 3rd paragraph: http://www.mattpealing-server.co.uk/~freshmat/wp-content/themes/match2move/test.php With the following code: <?php $count = 0; ?><?php while($count < 20) : ?><span><p><strong><?php echo $count; ?>:</strong> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing.</p></span><?php if ($count % 3) : ?><hr /><?php endif; ?><?php $count ++; ?><?php endwhile; ?>() However if you notice, this output just doesn't turn out like this! Does the operator I'm using not test if $count is a multiple of 3? So I have a very simple for loop that I am populating a list with levels and exp required to achieve the next level. I have been using a sandbox to test my output and have also created an excel sheet to replicate the data to verify the content. This code was not mine from the beginning and in creating the spreadsheet I discovered the flaw. Below is the code I am trying to fix:
function experience($L, $pres = 0) {
$a = 0;
$end = 0;
for ($x = 1; $x < $L; ++$x) {
$a += $x * round($x + 5 * pow(4, ($x / 300)));
}
if ($x > 199) {
$a += $x * round($x + 7 * pow(4, ($x / 290)));
}
if ($x > 399) {
$a += $x * round($x + 11 * pow(4, ($x / 280)));
}
if ($x > 599) {
$a += $x * round($x + 19 * pow(4, ($x / 270)));
}
if ($x > 799) {
$a += $x * round($x + 35 * pow(4, ($x / 260)));
}
if ($x > 999) {
$a += $x * round($x + 67 * pow(4, ($x / 250)));
}
return round($a / 1.25);
}
Below is the troubleshooting I am attempting to do (Modified and simplified for and while loop):
//for loop
$no = 200;
$a = 0;
for ($x = 1; $x < $no; ++$x) {
$a += $x + 1;
}
if ($no > 199) {
$a += $x + 2;
}
echo $a;
//while loop
$no = 200;
$a = 0;
$x = 1;
while (($x - 1) < $no) {
$a += $x * round($x + 5 * pow(4, ($x / 300)));
$x++;
if ($x > 199) {
$a += $x * round($x + 7 * pow(4, ($x / 290)));
}
}
echo $a;
Upon request I can also provide snipets of the excel sheet. So the gist of what the issue I am having is this. Between level 199 and 200 the iteration of the loop is running one extra time through the initial formula. As you can tell at level 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 I want this formula to change so that it simplifies the amount of exp required to achieve the next level. I can not for the life of me figure out how to restrict the loop while still allowing the values 200 up to run through it for the first 199 iterations. The output I should get from the primary code for levels 199 through 201 are as follows: 199 = 200 = 201 = At level 199 I am good but for whatever reason it runs one additional iteration at the level 1-199 formula and then moves on to the 200 level formula messing up the values. Any and all help is much appreciated. I am a novice hobbyist at best and have been doing this for many, many years now but sometimes I get stumped. I chalk it up to lack of proper training and time to really be serious with it. Thanks in advance....NICON I have an array of property details that prints to the page. Later on that same page, I would like to use one of the array's values as part of a mailto script, but I can't seem to figure out how to recall it. could someone point me in the direction of how I can make the array's values available for later use? I hope this is clear enough. Thanks Evening everyone and Merry X-Mas (Happy Holidays) or whatever fits you best.... I have been trying over and over for about 12 hours to figure out how to get data from a specific JSON response and assign the specific values to a new array key/value pair. The various ways I have tried to figure this out are numerous so i'm going to avoid the runnig list of "I trieid this...and this...and this... etc etc." just understand I have reached a dead end point where I need help badly.
Here is what our end goal is:
"The company" is a "service industry" provider (plumbing, electrical etc. etc.) who wants to dispatch its technicians to new jobs based on which technician has the shortest travel time from any existing address where they already have a scheduled appointment that day and has available time in there schedule. Thus the dispatching system when a new service call is entered is going to give "recommended" technicians (up to 4) to be assigned the new service call based on the above mentioned criteria. (Efficient routing to save company gas cost)
1.) We have a "New service" street address assigned to the $to variable: $to = "4813 River Basin Dr S, Jacksonville FL 32207"; 2.) We will have "records" array which containes a series of records, each record consists of a ticket# a technician id# and a street address: $records = array( array("DV1012","30453423","9890 Hutchinson Park Dr Jacksonville, FL 32225"), array("DB3434","30404041","821 Orange Ave Crescent City, FL 32112"), array("DB3434","30605060","1972 Wells Road, Orange Park FL 32073"), array("DB4578","30605060","2 Independent Drive, Jacksonville FL 32202"), array("DB7841","30605060","5000 Norwood Avenue, Jacksonville FL 32208"), array("DB3235","30605060","9501 Arlington Expressway, Jacksonville FL 32225"), array("DB7894","30605060","Massey Avenue, Jacksonville, FL 32227"), array("DB2020","30121212","11200 Central Pkwy Jacksonville, FL 32224") ); 3.) We are going to prepare the records array for submission to Google's Distance Matrix API by URL encoding each array value into a single variable and then submit it: foreach ($records as $key => $value) {$from = $from.urlencode($value[2])."|";} $to = urlencode($to); $data = file_get_contents("//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=$from&destinations=$to&language=en-EN&units=imperial&mode=driving&sensor=false"); $res=json_decode($data) or die("Error: Cannot read object"); You may look at the ACTUAL live Google response from this he http://tiny.cc/i6eerx (We have applied <pre> and var_dump($res) to the output) We are looking to get the following information back: The distance and travel time between the "New Service" address ($to) and each of the address' in the $records array ($from), now once that information is returned from Google (JSON response) we need to parse the response and narrow it down to 4 or less (Based on the 4 lowest drive times) to form a new array which ends like this: $results = array( array("DV1012","30453423","2.3 Miles","8 mins"), array("DB3434","30404041","2.8 Miles","9 mins"), array("DB3434","30605060","4.6 Miles","13.8 mins"), array("DB4578","30605060","5.7 Miles","15.2 min") ); OUR PROBLEM: Everything up until the the Google API response is fine, but iterating over the multidimensional arrays within multidimensional arrays of the JSON response is just not coming together in my head (or 2 dozen code attempts). I am able to ECHO an individual value like ( echo $res->rows[0]->elements[0]->distance->text; ) but this has no value for the end result i need to get to. My last thoughts and efforts was that that I was going to have to embed foreach statements within foreach statements to drill down through the various arrays but that hasn't worked very well and it seems like it shouldn't be how it has to be done. I would appreciate any help in showing me how the iteration code should be written and any explanation about the code so i can wrap my head around it. I'm not entirely sure how to phrase the title, so I hope it's appropriate... I have an array which looks like the following.. Code: [Select] Array ( [contact] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => Someone Cool [number] => 1234567890 ) ) [messages] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [message] => A message that was recieved [date] => 1234567890 [type] => 1 ) [1] => Array ( [message] => A message which was sent [date] => 1322175702616 [type] => 2 ) ) [calls] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [datetime] => 1320674980836 [type] => 1 [duration] => 7 [number] => 1234567890 ) [1] => Array ( [datetime] => 1320675327541 [type] => 2 [duration] => 638 [number] => 1234567890 ) ) ) [messages] can have anywhere between 40 and 3000 children [calls] can have anywhere from 0 to 200ish children ** These are generals, but realistically, either can have any number. What I'm trying to do is dump all messages and calls. The catch is this: When dumping a call, a check needs to be run against datestamps and only dump the next call coming out where the datestamp of the call is NEWER than the LAST message dumped, AND OLDER than the message that is to be dump in this cycle of the loop. What I have so far is the following... Code: [Select] foreach($vardump['messages'] as $message) { // So we have a reference point for the first call we're going to dump if(!is_numeric($last_message_stamp)) { $last_message_stamp = $message['date']; } if( trim($vardump['calls'][$calls_counter]['datetime']) > trim($last_message_stamp) && trim($vardump['calls'][$calls_counter]['datetime']) < trim($message['date'])) { // Dump the calls row! echo(" <div class=\"chatbubble-call\"> <div class=\"chatbubble-person\">".$vardump['contact'][0]['name']."</div> <p>".$vardump['calls'][$calls_counter]['number']."</p> <p>".date("h:i:s", $vardump['calls'][$calls_counter]['number'])."</p> <div class=\"chatbubble-datetime\">".date("l, j F, Y -- h:i:s", $vardump['calls'][$calls_counter]['datetime'] / 1000)."</div> </div> "); // Increase our calls index $calls_counter++; } // Begin dumping Texts out :D // Let's see which style type we're dumping out... if($message['type'] == 2) { // Message Sent echo(" <div class=\"chatbubble-sent\"> <div class=\"chatbubble-person\">Pat Litke</div> <p>".$message['message']."</p> <div class=\"chatbubble-datetime\">".date("l, j F, Y -- h:i:s", $message['date'] / 1000)."</div> </div> "); } else { // Message Recieved echo(" <div class=\"chatbubble-recieved\"> <div class=\"chatbubble-person\">".$vardump['contact'][0]['name']."</div> <p>".$message['message']."</p> <div class=\"chatbubble-datetime\">".date("l, j F, Y -- h:i:s", $message['date'] / 1000)."</div> </div> "); } // Reset our $last_messge_stamp variable $last_message_stamp = $message['date']; } I should also add that I am using the following queries to pull this date out of my database... Code: [Select] $sql_get_messages = "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE thread_number LIKE '%$the_thread%' ORDER BY epoch_date ASC"; $sql_get_calls = "SELECT * FROM calls WHERE number LIKE '%$the_thread%' ORDER BY datetime ASC"; $sql_get_contact = "SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE number LIKE '%$the_thread%' LIMIT 1"; But, I feel that this is horribly inefficient, and it doesn't work right... I only ever get a single call dumped. What am I doing wrong? I am doing some study on using time() and date() and i just wrote this simple for loop to add one day to each iteration with +$i and its echoing the unix timestamp as opposed to the correctly formated date as it should be based on my code. Anyone have any idea why this is not working as expected? for($i=0; $i < 50; $i++) { echo $time = time()+$i . "<br />"; // add a day on each iteration echo date('y-m-d', $time) . "<br />"; // should echo 10-12-02, 10-12-03, 10-12-04, etc.. } what am i doing wrong here? arrgggg! maybe its too late for this s$%^#!

I want to create a REST API for my website. What I want to do is to display advertisements from my database on websites that I sell to clients. Their website will call my database for advertisements to display on their websites. Also, I am performing a site validity check where the client's site would send the site URL, site name, and site token to my database for validation. If it returns false then the site will not display as it will be invalid according to my database. I've been Googling this topic all day, but cannot seem to get my head around it. I want to set an API key on my website so that not just anybody can be querying my database. For the advertisement query, no parameters need to be sent from the client websites to my database. Can anyone offer some advice on how to do this? Here is the scenario. I created a niche market API which provides environmental data. The data is obtained by industrial controllers which don't monitor anything by default, and the API has additional endpoints which are used to instruct the industrial controllers to start monitoring some parameter so the API can then start storing the trend data. The API primarily responds with JSON, however, a couple of endpoints support CSV data. For humans/webclients to access the data, I also created a webserver application which can be added to a Concrete5 (C5) CMS. I tried to make as many of its endpoints do nothing except receive the webclient's request, add a JSON Web Token to it which contains a unique identifier, forward it to the API using cURL, and return the response as is to the webclient. To limit the scope which needed to be created for the C5 application, the API has endpoints to return JSON which is used by JavaScript on the webclient for client-side validation, endpoints (actually, a different domain) to return static JavaScript/CSS/etc, and endpoints to restructure the JSON data to some more suitable format. I now am looking at creating different applications which does not use C5, but either are 100% custom or use some other CMS such as Drupal, etc. While I tried to limit the scope implemented on the C5 application, I have much more than I desire and will need to duplicate much for any future application. The primary scope I would like to remove from the webserver application relates to the HTML views and consists of templates which create HTML from JSON, the JavaScript which interacts with the HTML, and to a lesser degree controllers to determine the type of view (i.e. a list of records or one specific detail record). While the API will only be managed by myself, the intent is that the C5, 100% custom, etc webserver apps are installed and managed by others. Ideally, there is some existing Composer package for transforming JSON to HTML which is CMS agnostic, however, I don't know whether such exists. Also, while not 100% necessary, ideally this functionality could exist on my server and not the individual web application's server. Whether I build it myself or use some existing package, I expect it will need to do something like the following: The various webserver apps will have some routing table to proxy the request either to my JSON API server (complete) or my new "HTML API Server" (remaining discusses this portion). This HTML API server would generate the content either by making a cURL request to the main JSON API, or better yet since likely located on the same server have routing functional to make direct calls to the JSON API's methods, and return something like the following:
{
"html": "<div>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Pharetra massa massa ultricies mi quis hendrerit dolor. Leo integer malesuada nunc vel risus commodo viverra.</div>",
"javascript_files": [
"https://resources.myserver.com/someFile.js",
"https://resources.myserver.com/someOtherFile.js"
],
"css_files": [
"https://resources.myserver.com/someFile.css",
"https://resources.myserver.com/someOtherFile.css"
]
}
The various applications would then take the HTML and resource files and insert them using their proprietary methods. EDIT. Also, thinking of using an IFRAME, however, definitely have concerns with doing so. My day job has nothing to do with software, however, am hoping to make it so. Before embarking on this task, I would like to know whether some existing framework exists and if not what general strategy (organization, caching, etc) I should take to develop it. Thanks Edited January 18 by NotionCommotionAdded IFRAME idea

can i somehow build in that it only request every 5 minutes because if there are many users on the site it request too much? Hi, I am using the Google map API to display some businesses on a map - the sequence is map and below it a list of the establishments from a DB. Before I put the google map in, the list of establishments in the while table loop worked correctly. Now the map is there - that works, but the looping table doesnt display - I feel that it may be something to do with Code: [Select] <?php while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result2, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { ?> new google.maps.LatLng(<? echo $row['latitude'] ?>, <? echo $row['longitude']?>), <?php ; } ?> and the second fetch array - Code: [Select] while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result2, MYSQL_ASSOC)) Any Advice? Code: [Select] <?php // *******************************below is bit that selects hotels based on outcode of postcode and prints table with links to details pages $sql2 = "SELECT * FROM hotels WHERE (SUBSTRING_INDEX(est_postcode, ' ', 1)) IN ('$matches') "; $result2 = mysql_query($sql2) or die('query failed: ' . mysql_error()); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result2); echo "<p> Your search has found ".$num_rows .

"'>[More Info] </a></td>"; echo "</tr>"; } echo "</table>"; ?> I actually have two parts to this post. One which describes just my understanding on how a multipart request should look with a REST API and gives a little context, and the second how to actually implement it using Sympony and api-platform. Part 1 Looking to simultaneously upload a file, some file meta data, and identifier of the uploading user to a REST API, and will do so using a multipart request. Based on swagger, looks like the request should look something like the following:
POST /upload HTTP/1.1
Content-Length: 428
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=abcde12345
--abcde12345
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="id"
Content-Type: text/plain
123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000
--abcde12345
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="address"
Content-Type: application/json
{
"street": "3, Garden St",
"city": "Hillsbery, UT"
}
--abcde12345
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="profileImage "; filename="image1.png"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
{…file content…}
--abcde12345--
Background noise... The above example shows three parts which include the text ID, JSON address and octet-stream file. Doing so doesn't make sense to me and I will probably just have two parts for the meta data JSON. Note that potentially, I will be removing the user from the JSON payload and including it in some JWT header. Also, showing resources as links such as /api/users/1 in the request and response JSON is new to me, but I guess makes sense. Regardless, my meta data JSON will look like:
{
"projectId": 1234,
"documentDescription": "bla bla bla",
"specification": "230903.2.4.D",
"user": "/api/users/1"
}
and the response will look like:
{
"projectId": 1234,
"documentDescription": "bla bla bla",
"specification": "230903.2.4.D",
"uploadAt": "2021-01-27 08:41:17",
"fileName": "pressuresensor.pdf".
"user": "/api/users/1".
"file": "/api/uplodaed_files/1234"
}
Am I somewhat going down the right path? Part 2 Wow, should have looked into Sympony before now! Entities, validation, the API, etc were a breeze. Still confused with some of the "magic", but understanding what is under the hood more and more. As stated initially, I am utilizing api-platform and am looking at api-platform's file-upload. I guess the first question is whether my POST request with both the file and JSON meta data can be performed in a single request. Per making-a-request-to-the-media_objects-endpoint: QuoteYour /media_objects endpoint is now ready to receive a POST request with a file. This endpoint accepts standard multipart/form-data-encoded data, but not JSON data. What? Am I reading this correct? Do I first need to make a multipart requests using either a standard HTML form or a XMLHttpRequest which just sends the file, receive the document locator, and then send a second request with the location and my meta data? If so, I guess I have enough to go forward. I would rather, however, perform the work in a single request. My previous mentioned swagger multipart-requests shows both in the same request. symfonycasts's api-uploads also describes doing so, but not with api-platform. Is there a way to do so with api-platform? Does it make sense to use api-platform for all other routes but then make a custom route for document with meta data uploads? Any recommendations are much appreciated. Thanks I have the following tables: department id course id department_id CASCADE DELETE student id student_courses course_id CASCADE DELETE student_id CASCADE DELETEI also have the following REST API endpoints: DELETE department/123 (deletes targeted department and associated courses as well as the list of students in the course) DELETE course/321 (deletes targeted course as well as the list of students in the course) DELETE student/111 (deletes targeted student as well as the list of students in the course)The user should be informed before deleting a given record if that record will affect other tables. For instance, if deleting a department which has some courses or deleting a student which belows to a course. One option is to respond to DELETE department/123 with 400 {recordUsed: {courses:[bla, bla], student_courses:[bla, bla]}} if used. For this option, the client would then prompt the user of the implications and if desired repeat the request but include a "force" parameter of TRUE in the request which will delete the record regardless of being used. Another option is to add some new endpoints which will return the resources which are associated with the to be deleted entity. If empty, a DELETE request would automatically be made and if not empty the user will first be prompted whether the DELETE request should be made and the server would delete the record(s) regardless of being used. GET department/utilized/123 GET course/utilized/321 GET student/utilized/111Any thoughts on which approach should be used? Or maybe some other strategy? Thanks I implemented an endpoint which receives name/value pairs:
PUT someresource/123 {"name": "description", "value": "Some new description"}
I think I made a mistake, and should have implemented it as:
PUT someresource/123 {"description": "Some new description"}
The reason I think so is updating multiple properties is only (easily) possible using the later:
PUT someresource/123 {"description": "Some new description", "otherProperty": "bla bla bla"}
Assuming I am not using some 3rd party client library which only works with name/value pairs, any compelling reason why one shouldn't default to the later approach with key/values? Hello, I'm trying to use a rest-based card clearence service, but I don't know how to pass the information through the URL without using the form action attribute. I need to have a URL looking like this: index.php?p=checkout?service=cardAuth&msg_id=3864&num_md5=e2740266aab85558996a9a87fc561c0e&amount=24.99¤cy=GBP&api_key=739a720ade31ad2a14b30aa7b3a6b20e But at the moment, I have a URL looking like this: index.php?cardAuth=&title=Mr&fname=Alderton&sname=Arkie&ctype=mastercard&cnumber=5105105105105100&smonth=01&syear=07&fmonth=01&fyear=10&checkout=Check+Out There's a few more problems; - I can't get the card number to md5 - I don't know how to retreive a variable used in another file, which counts up the total amount due Here's my PHP: Code: [Select] <h2>Please enter your details</h2> <h3>All fields required</h3> <div id="checkout"> <?php if (isset($_GET['checkout'])){ $title = $_GET['title']; $fname = $_GET['fname']; $sname = $_GET['sname']; $ctype = $_GET['ctype']; $cnumber = md5($_GET['cnumber']); $syear = $_GET['smonth'] . $_GET['syear']; $fyear = $_GET['fmonth'] . $_GET['fyear']; $service = $_GET['cardAuth']; $amount = $_REQUEST[$total]; $msg = rand(1000,9999); $api = 'd41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e'; } ?> <form method="get" action="index.php?p=checkout?<?php.'service='.$service.'msg_id='.$msg.'num_md5='.$cnumber.'amount='.$amount.'currency=GBP'.'api_key='.$api.?>"> <table> <tr> <td><input type="hidden" name="cardAuth" value="<?php if (!empty($service)) echo $service; ?>" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td> Title: </td> <td> <select name="title" value="<?php if (!empty($title)) echo $title; ?>" > <option></option> <option>Mr</option> <option>Sir</option> <option>Ms</option> <option>Miss</option> <option>Mrs</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> First Name: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="fname" value="<?php if (!empty($fname)) echo $fname; ?>"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Surname: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="sname" value="<?php if (!empty($sname)) echo $sname; ?>"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Card Type: </td> <td> <select name="ctype" value="<?php if (!empty($ctype)) echo $ctype; ?>"> <option>mastercard</option> <option>visa</option> <option>amex</option> <option>solo</option> <option>maestro</option> <option>jcb</option> <option>diners</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Card Number: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="cnumber" value="<?php if (!empty($cnumber)) echo $cnumber; ?>"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Valid From: </td> <td> <select name="smonth" value="<?php if (!empty($smonth)) echo $smonth; ?>"> <option>01</option> <option>02</option> <option>03</option> <option>04</option> <option>05</option> <option>06</option> <option>07</option> <option>08</option> <option>09</option> <option>10</option> <option>11</option> <option>12</option> </select> <select name="syear" value="<?php if (!empty($syear)) echo $syear; ?>"> <option>07</option> <option>08</option> <option>09</option> <option>10</option> <option>11</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Expires End: </td> <td> <select name="fmonth" value="<?php if (!empty($fmonth)) echo $fmonth; ?>"> <option>01</option> <option>02</option> <option>03</option> <option>04</option> <option>05</option> <option>06</option> <option>07</option> <option>08</option> <option>09</option> <option>10</option> <option>11</option> <option>12</option> </select> <select name="fyear" value="<?php if (!empty($fyear)) echo $fyear; ?>"> <option>10</option> <option>11</option> <option>12</option> <option>13</option> <option>14</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> <input type="submit" name="checkout" value="Check Out"/> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </div> |
