PHP - Creating A Cms

Hello everyone,

I found a tutorial on creating a pdf with php and I just tried to create a basic pdf to see if it worked and modify it from there.  Here is the link to the tutorial: http://www.astahost.com/info/tfclt-create-pdf-php-create-fly-pdf-web-server.html

Well, after uploading the following php file to the server and testing it, I got this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function pdf_new() in /home/caresa6/public_html/BubblyBounce.com/admin/pdftest.php on line 2

Here's the code that produced the error:
Code: [Select]
<?php
$mypdf = PDF_new();
PDF_open_file($mypdf, "");
PDF_begin_page($mypdf, 595, 842);
$myfont = PDF_findfont($mypdf, "Times-Roman", "host", 0);
PDF_setfont($mypdf, $myfont, 10);
PDF_show_xy($mypdf, "Sample PDF, constructed by PHP in real-time.", 50, 750);
PDF_show_xy($mypdf, "Made with the PDF libraries for PHP.", 50, 730);
PDF_end_page($mypdf);
PDF_close($mypdf);

$mybuf = PDF_get_buffer($mypdf);
$mylen = strlen($mybuf);
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: $mylen");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=gen01.pdf");
print $mybuf;

PDF_delete($mypdf);
?>

Can anyone help me figure out what to do from here?  I have some PHP knowledge, but I'm treading in uncharted waters with this, so I am totally lost.  Thanks in advance.

Hello! First I would like to say welcome to the forums! I hope one day I'll be able to give back!!

Anyway, I seem to not know how to do this.  I'm creating a website for my guild, and I'm very very rusty with PHP (learned it a year or two back than lost it).  Anyway, I made the script to display the calendar portion of it (followed a tutorial), but I can't seem to import the feature to display events in the same cell as the date that its on.  Sorry my coding is a little sloppy but I'm hoping you guys can help xD  I left off with thinking that maybe i could use an array to do the job but I honestly have no clue how to go about this...

Code: [Select]
<?php
function calendar(){
include('connect.php');
$month = date("n");
$year = date("Y");
$query = "SELECT * FROM calendar WHERE (month='$month' AND year='$year')";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
$firstDay1 = mktime(0,1,0,$month,1,$year);
$firstDay = mktime(0,1,0,$month,1,$year);
$daysInMonth = date("t",$firstDay);
$firstDay = date("w",$firstDay);
$day1 = array();
$message = array();
$message1 = '';
$dayNumber = 1;

$i = 0;
while ($i < $num) {
$day1[$i] = mysql_result($result,$i,"day");
$message[$i] = mysql_result($result,$i,"message");
$i++;
}

echo "<table width='280'  border='1'>\n";
  echo "<tr>\n";
    echo "<td align='center'>" . date("F Y") . "</td>\n";
  echo "</tr>\n";

        # Calculate number of rows

        if($totalCells < 36){

if($day1 == $dayNumber){
$message1 = $message;
}
else {
$message1 = "";
}
                   echo "<td width='70' height='50'>" . $dayNumber . "<br />$message1</td>\n";
                   $dayNumber++;
  } else {
                if($dayNumber > 1){
                  # First Day Passed so output Date
if($day1 == $dayNumber){

          } else {

Hi,
I am trying to create a cron job that truncates a database table, then inserts data back into the table, The cron jobs works fine, if i just truncate the table, but does not seem to work if i want to re-insert data back in the table.

truncate.php looks as follows:

<?php
require_once('/usr/www/users/amisea/sosams/db-connecter.php');
$query = "TRUNCATE TABLE tmpsessionmodule;
INSERT INTO tmpsessionmodule (SessionNo, Module) SELECT SessionNo, Module1 FROM session WHERE ((Module1) <>"" );
INSERT INTO tmpsessionmodule (SessionNo, Module) SELECT SessionNo, Module2 FROM session WHERE ((Module2) <>"" );
INSERT INTO tmpsessionmodule (SessionNo, Module) SELECT SessionNo, Module3 FROM session WHERE ((Module3) <>"" );
INSERT INTO tmpsessionmodule (SessionNo, Module) SELECT SessionNo, Module4 FROM session WHERE ((Module4) <>"" );
INSERT INTO tmpsessionmodule (SessionNo, Module) SELECT SessionNo, Module5 FROM session WHERE ((Module5) <>"" );
INSERT INTO tmpsessionmodule (SessionNo, Module) SELECT SessionNo, Module6 FROM session WHERE ((Module6) <>"" );
INSERT INTO tmpsessionmodule (SessionNo, Module) SELECT SessionNo, Module7 FROM session WHERE ((Module7) <>"" );
INSERT INTO tmpsessionmodule (SessionNo, Module) SELECT SessionNo, Module8 FROM session WHERE ((Module8) <>"" );
INSERT INTO tmpsessionmodule (SessionNo, Module) SELECT SessionNo, Module9 FROM session WHERE ((Module9) <>"" );
INSERT INTO tmpsessionmodule (SessionNo, Module) SELECT SessionNo, Module10 FROM session WHERE ((Module10) <>"" );
INSERT INTO tmpsessionmodule (SessionNo, Module) SELECT SessionNo, Module11 FROM session WHERE ((Module11) <>"" );
INSERT INTO tmpsessionmodule (SessionNo, Module) SELECT SessionNo, Module12 FROM session WHERE ((Module12) <>"" );"
$result = @mysql_query($query);
?>
