PHP - Getting Variable From File Not Working

I have a script that adds points together based upon the placing. This is the actual script:

Code: [Select]
<? $points = 0;

if($place === '1st') {$points = $points + 50;}
elseif($place === '2nd') {$points = $points + 45;}
elseif($place === '3rd') {$points = $points + 40;}
elseif($place === '4th') {$points = $points + 35;}
elseif($place === '5th') {$points = $points + 30;}
elseif($place === '6th') {$points = $points + 25;}
elseif($place === '7th') {$points = $points + 20;}
elseif($place === '8th') {$points = $points + 10;}
elseif($place === '9th') {$points = $points + 10;}
elseif($place === '10th') {$points = $points + 10;}
elseif($place === 'CH') {$points = $points + 50;}
elseif($place === 'RCH') {$points = $points + 40;}
elseif($place === 'TT') {$points = $points + 30;}
elseif($place === 'T5') {$points = $points + 30;}
elseif($place === 'Champion') {$points = $points + 50;}
elseif($place === 'Reserve Champion') {$points = $points + 40;}

echo "Total HF Points: $points";
?>What it *should* do (my friend's script works the same way and it works) it starts at points = 0, than if there is a first place, it adds 50, and so forth until it reaches the end.

It is included into a file, in this area:

Code: [Select]
<div class="tabbertab">
<h2>Records</h2>
<? $query92 = "SELECT * FROM THISTABLE WHERE VARIABLE='$id' OR VARIABLE = '$name' ORDER BY ABS(VARIABLE), VARIABLE";
$result92 = mysql_query($query92) or die (mysql_error());

echo "<table class='record'>
<tr><th>Show</th> <th>Class</th> <th>Place</th></tr>
";

while($row92 = mysql_fetch_array($result92)) {
$class = $row92['class'];
$place = $row92['place'];
$entries = $row92['entries'];
$race = $row92['show'];
$purse = number_format($row92['purse'],2);

echo "<tr><td>$race</td> <td>$class</td> <td>$place</td></tr>";
}
?>
<tr><td colspan='3'><div align='right'><? include('includes/points.php'); ?></div></td></tr>
</table>
</div>

This is the code that is relevant. When ended here, it echoes the last place that appears in the results (such as a 5th place echoing 30 points). When I move it to be included in the while loop, it shows Total Points: 50 Total Points: 25 Total Points: 10 (depending on the results displayed on that page). What am I doing wrong?

Hello everyone,

I can get Test 2 to successfully operate the if statement using a variable variable.

But when I try the same method using a session variable (Test 1) the if statement is not executed. Please could you tell me why the if statement in Test 1 is not being executed?

Code: [Select]

<?php
# TEST 1
$_SESSION[test_variable] = "abcd";
$session_variable_name = "_SESSION[test_variable]";
if ($$session_variable_name == "abcd")
{
echo "<br>line 373, abcd<br>";
}

# TEST 2
$test_variable = "efgh";
$test_variable_name = "test_variable";
if ($$test_variable_name == "efgh")
{
echo "<br>line 379, efgh<br>";
}

?>
Many thanks,

Stu

Hi guys,

I have a problem with the code on below. When I input the value into $name and $email method, the page come into blank page.


<?php
session_start();

$errmsg_arr = array();
    $errflag = false;

    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
    if(!$link) {

die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE);
    if(!$db) {

die("Unable to select database");
    }

   function clean($var){

return mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($var));
    }
    $name = clean($_GET['name']);

   else {
    }

    if($errflag) {
  $_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr;
  echo implode('<br />',$errmsg_arr);
   }
   else {
$insert = array();
if(isset($_GET['name'])) {
    $insert[] = 'name = \'' . clean($_GET['name']) .'\'';
   // echo "tested";    
}

   mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $add);
  }
echo "Thank you for sent us your email";
  }
 }
}
?>



There must be the problem coming from this:

if(isset($name)) {
   $name = $_GET['name'];
   $headers = "From: "-f .$name."@myemail.com";  
   $to = "myname@mymail.com";
   $subject = $type;
   $message = $comments . ';
   $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\l\n";
   $add = "-f". $name ."@myemail.com";
   mail($to, $subject, $message, $header, $add);
echo "Thank you for sent us your feedback";
   }
   else {

if(isset($email)) {
   $email = $_GET['email'];
   $headers = "From: "$email";  
   $to = "myname@mymail.com";
   $subject = $type;
   $message = $comments . ';
   $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\l\n";
   $add = "-f". $email .";
   mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $add);
  }


I am not sure where the problem is, so please could you help me??

I'm new to php and i have a html form with 2 forms and 2 submit buttons, 1 of the forms is solely for uploading an image i downloaded the php script as i don't understand the code well enough to write it myself.

The second form asks for your name and email then when you click submit it writes a new html file with the included information. I have managed to upload a file successfully and write the html document with the information successfully but i can't get the image to write into the html document.

My file_upload.php script contains the variable for the image name, now how would i get the variable string from file_upload.php and use that name in compile.php.

Here's my code.
--------------
Form.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

    <p>email:<input type="text" name="email" /></p><br />
    </form>
    <br />
    <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="file_upload.php">
    Choose your file he
    <input name="file1" type="file" /><br /><br />
    <input type="submit" value="Upload It" />
    </form>

  </body>
</html>

compile.php

<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$price = $_POST['price'];
$desc = $_POST['desc'];
$file = "new.html";

Hi Guys,

I'm working on an image resizer, to create thumbnails for my page. The resizer works on principle of include a DIRECT link to the image. But what I want to do is put in the PHP Variable in the URL string, so that it points to that file and resizes it accordingly.

My code is as follows :
Code: [Select]
<img src="thumbnail.php?image=<?php echo $row_select_property['image_url']; ?>

Image Resize :
Code: [Select]
<?php 
// Resize Image To A Thumbnail

// The file you are resizing 

 $image = '$_GET[image_url]'; 
 
 //This will set our output to 45% of the original size 
 $size = 0.45; 
 
 // This sets it to a .jpg, but you can change this to png or gif 
 header('Content-type: image/jpeg'); 
 
 // Setting the resize parameters
 list($width, $height) = getimagesize($image); 
 $modwidth = $width * $size; 
 $modheight = $height * $size; 
 
 // Creating the Canvas 
 $tn= imagecreatetruecolor($modwidth, $modheight); 
 $source = imagecreatefromjpeg($image); 
 
 // Resizing our image to fit the canvas 
 imagecopyresized($tn, $source, 0, 0, 0, 0, $modwidth, $modheight, $width, $height); 
 
 // Outputs a jpg image, you could change this to gif or png if needed 
 imagejpeg($tn); 
?>

What I am trying to do is pass on the variable "image=<?php echo $row_select_property['image_url']; ?>" to the Thumbnail script. At the moment I am passing it through the URL string, but it doesnt  seem to load the graphic.

I'll try expand on this more, should you have questions as I am finding it a little difficult to explain.

Thanks in advance.
