PHP - Vote.php Noob Needs Help

I'm currently trying to break apart some PHP coding that a former coder created, but left no documentation to. Can anyone help e find the function in this mess that creates the vote button and passes the currently loaded data to the next page? Here's the original code:

Code: [Select]
<?php

include("./templates/mysql_connect.php");

 //FOR LETTER: A

$query = "SELECT * FROM seniors WHERE last_name LIKE 'A%' ORDER BY last_name ASC";
$result = @mysql_query ($query);

echo '<table><tr>
  <td>
  <p><span class="style19"><u>-A-</u></span><br />';

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)){

echo "<a href=\"$row[pic_url]\" rel=\"lightbox[seniors]\" 
title=\" &lt;form action =&quot;/sencha-tallyvote.php?sen_id=$row[sen_id]&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;&gt;

$row[first_name] $row[last_name] - $row[school] <br />

 &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;input name=&quot;submit&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Vote&quot; &gt;  
 
 &lt;/form&gt; \">$row[last_name], $row[first_name]</a><br/>";

}
echo '</p>';
?>

The original code used a lightbox feature with an added voting button tagged on near the bottom. We've Xed the lightbox feature and are trying to deconstruct it into tangible PHP pages. We have everything done except for the coding for the vote  button.

Here's our coding for the currently deconstructed page, and where the coding for the button needs to go:

Code: [Select]
<?php
require_once('templates/mysql_connect.php');
?>

<?php 
$query = "SELECT * FROM seniors WHERE sen_id=$_GET[sen_id]";
$result = mysql_query ($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_array ($result);
?>

<div class="contents">
<h1><?php echo $row['first_name'], " ", $row['last_name']; ?></h1>
<h4><?php echo $row['school']; ?></h4>
</div>

<?php echo
'<a href="sencha.php" class="bigmenu"><img src="images/backarrow.png" alt="Back to Senior Challenge Home" class="arrowleft indexicon" /><u>Back</u></a><br />'; ?>

<?php echo "<img src=\"http://www.rutholsonphoto.com" .$row['pic_url']. "\" width=\"100%\" />" ?> <br />
<br />
<a href="/">{{VOTEBUTTON}}</a>

Any experienced help will be greatly appreciated.

Hey. I just needed a little help with a voting system for articles I've put together in PHP. Essentially what happens is someone clicks the "Vote up" button which takes them to the "voteup.php" page.

This is the "voteup.php" page where it updates the database for that given article and increments the "votes" column by one. This works perfectly. But the problem is people can do this infinite times and give articles infinite votes.

I need it so that each IP address can only vote on each specific article once. Any ideas on how this could be done?

Voteup.php
Code: [Select]
<?php

include("connect.php");
$id2 = $_GET['id']; // Get the ID of the article that will be voted up

$con = mysql_connect("localhost","lconditn_admin","hello");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("lconditn_database", $con);

mysql_query("UPDATE base SET votes = votes+1 // Add one vote to the article
WHERE id2 = '$id2'");

mysql_close($con);
?>
Thanks a lot for any help with this.

Hi, I'm currently using a voting script, but have a problem with people voting more then once, and want to add a way to keep the voting unique and 1 per person via IP check can anybody assist me how to implement it in the following script please?

<?php

// the questions and the answers
$pool_question="Do you think I should keep Galaxy Universe open?";
$pool_option[1]="Yes";
$pool_option[2]="No";

// If counter files are not available,they will be created
// You may remove next lines after the first use of the script
        if (!file_exists("pool_5483543_1.txt")){
                // next two lines will not work if writing permissions are not available
                // you may create the files bellow manualy with "0" as their unique content
                file_put_contents ("pool_5483543_1.txt",0);
                file_put_contents ("pool_5483543_2.txt",0);
        }

// retrieve data saved in files
        $pool_responses[1]=file_get_contents("pool_5483543_1.txt");
        $pool_responses[2]=file_get_contents("pool_5483543_2.txt");


// if user votes, increase corresponding value
        if ($_POST["5483543"] and $_POST["5483543b"]==""){
                if ($_POST["5483543"]==1) {$pool_responses[1]++;file_put_contents("pool_5483543_1.txt",$pool_responses[1]);}
                if ($_POST["5483543"]==2) {$pool_responses[2]++;file_put_contents("pool_5483543_2.txt",$pool_responses[2]);}
        }

// get percentajes for each answer in the pool
        // get total number of answers
        $total_responses=$pool_responses[1]+$pool_responses[2];
        if ($total_responses==0){$total_responses=1;}  // to avoid errors at start
        // compute percentajes (with one decimal number)
        $pool_percentaje[1] = round((100*$pool_responses[1])/$total_responses,1);
        $pool_percentaje[2] = round((100*$pool_responses[2])/$total_responses,1);
                                                                
// print the form, which includes de answers and the percentajes
print "<center>\n";
print "<form method=post action=".$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"].">\n";
print "<b>".$pool_question."</b>\n";
print "<table cellpadding=4>\n<br>";
// answer 1
print "<tr>\n";
print "<td><input type=radio name=5483543 value=1>  ".$pool_option[1]."</td>\n";
print "<td bgcolor=DDDDFF>" .$pool_responses[1]." (".$pool_percentaje[1]."%)</td>\n";
print "</tr>\n";
// answer 2
print "<tr>\n";
print "<td><input type=radio name=5483543 value=2>  ".$pool_option[2]."</td>\n";
print "<td bgcolor=DDDDFF>" .$pool_responses[2]." (".$pool_percentaje[2]."%)</td>\n";
print "</tr>\n";
print "</table>\n";
// a simple control to avoid one user to vote several times
if ($_POST["5483543"]){
        print "<input type=hidden name=5483543b value=1>\n";
}
print "<input TYPE=submit value=Add my answer>\n";
print "</form>\n";
print "</center>\n";

?>

The reason why I ask for IP check is I wan't to use 

$_SERVER["HTTP_X_MXIT_USERID_R"];

in the place of the Ip since it give a unique name via the platform I want to implement it.

Basically above code will form few boxes with items(which are actually questions) in it. There is one box on the right side with heading "Question Bank". From the "Question Bank" we can drag the questions to other boxes but can't do the reverse(this is also working). Also we can sort the questions within the box or drag the questions from one box to another. Box heading are the categories and items are questions associated to that categories. What i need is : Event that updates the database when we drag the questions from "Question Bank" to any box on the left side. Please note Questions in the "Question Bank" are pre created coming from database. Event that updates the database when we sort the questions within the box. Event that updates the database when we drag the question from one box to another box. it should also do the sorting for that two boxes. Event that updates the database when we sort the boxes. Here is the JS Fiddle link jsfiddle.net/6o30rrzx Question Bank is comming on the bottom of the page instead of on the right side   any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated Thank you for reading this post.

Please bear with me.
In an html file there is an

<!-- BEGIN poll -->
.....
<!-- END poll -->


I need to draw a separation hr between all rows escept the first one.
I believe I need a counter.
Please show me how to do this.

Thank you.

Hello, I'm new to this forum, and I have just spend half an hour typing out my question as complete as possible, and just before I wanted to hit the "Post" button, I pressed "why not?" out of curiousity @
Read the rules before you post! We will NOT edit/delete your content (why not?)! so I lost everything I wrote.

Anyway. I'll shortly retype it all: I'm a Dutch student - therefore my English isn't that good, I'm sorry for that - and for school, I have to make a website. It has to include a CMS system, a search-box, a contactform, Google Analytics and Google Maps.

In the meantime, I don't even seem to be able to write 3 php lines properly. When I tried to, and uploaded my work, my site (www.amstel-webdesign.nl) told me:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/amstelwd/domains/amstel-webdesign.nl/public_html/index.php on line 119

The php part is marked in red (I hope)... And line 119 is                  echo ("Amstel_webdesign_graphics" date ("Y"))

Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong, and what it's all supposed to be?

Before I uploaded my index.html with the php lines, my piece was xhtml 1.0 strict and had a valid CSS. I left part of the footer out, so if that created any mistakes (a </div> too many or not enough or such), it probably has nothing to do with the php fail.

Thanks so much in advance.

I had a developer working on stuff for my site and he died before he got to the uploader. I am not a programmer. I can alter a few basic things, but this is beyond me.

I found this basic uploader that I could edit the locations, file types, etc. It is missing one area of functionality that I need, the ability to define how many upload fields through a variable (which is set in an earlier form). So for example $fields = "3" then 3 upload fields appear with descriptions set by variables (for examples sake...front and then upload area, back and then upload area, misc. and upload area).

I know this might not make a lot of sense.  If you need any clarification please contact me. Any help would be much appreciated!

So I'm trying to learn PHP so that I can work with the SteamAPI. I have previous coding experience (C, Java) and I'm uncertian on why my script isn't working.   API: https://github.com/a...teamweb-php-api   Error:   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in index.php on line 51   Line 51:

$parameters = ['key' => STEAM_WEB_API_KEY];

From what I've understood, the script is trying to create an array called "parameters" and inside it's trying to create a variable called "key" which is going to hold the constant "STEAM_WEB_API_KEY". This constant is suppose to be loaded from a file called "steamwebapi_config.php" which looks like the following:

<?php
/**
 * Steam Web PHP API
 */

const STEAM_WEB_API_KEY = 'your steam api key that is given by vavle';

I didn't attach my actual key in the script above for obvious reasons.   I have no idea how to fix this issue nor what is casuing it.
Again, I'm not experienced with PHP and I'd appreciate any help you guys can give me!   Thanks to anyone who helps.  

Hi there I'm new in the php coding and I just don't undestand most of all database settings etc... so I have something to do but I don't know exactly how so here is the thing:


The disciplines are separated into modules. A module contains lectures and more than 1 group that gets exercises and practical training. The necessary number of the hours of a module is formed of the sum of the hours of lectures, exercises and practical training, multiplied by the numbers of the groups. The site has to give the possibility of:
- Writing into new modules and lecturers.
- Defining the number of groups (lectures, exercises, practical training) for a module.
- Appropriating of groups and lecturers.
- Visualizing the list of modules/lecturers.

if you can help with advices or whatever you can I'll be very thankfull

Hi guys, forum noob here.

I'm very new to php and i'm trying to build a simple food order shopping cart. I'm using DW as a crutch at the moment just to get a feeling of how php works.

I have a page where a user can select food extras to add to thier food item using checkboxes.

heres the recordset for getting extras.
$colname_rs_addedextras = "1";
if (isset($_GET['idfooditem'])) {
  $colname_rs_addedextras = $_GET['idfooditem'];
}
mysql_select_db($database_dbconnect, $dbconnect);
$query_rs_addedextras = sprintf("SELECT extra.idextra, extra.extraName, extra.extraPrice, addedextras.extraFree FROM addedextras, extra WHERE fooditemID = %s AND addedextras.extraID = extra.idextra", GetSQLValueString($colname_rs_addedextras, "int"));
$rs_addedextras = mysql_query($query_rs_addedextras, $dbconnect) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rs_addedextras = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_addedextras);
$totalRows_rs_addedextras = mysql_num_rows($rs_addedextras); 

Here is the code i'm strugling with.
// Submit to Order Form /////////////////////////////
if (isset($_POST["addtoorderButton"]))
    {
    mysql_query("INSERT INTO cart(cookieID, customerID, fooditemID, foodItemName, foodItemPrice) VALUES('$cookieID', '$customerID', '$fooditemID',                 '$foodItemName', '$foodItemPrice' ) ") or die(mysql_error());
    
    if ($_POST['checkbox'] != NULL)
    {    
    $cart_id = mysql_insert_id();
    
        foreach($_POST['checkbox'] as $key => $value)
        {
            $extraName = $row_rs_addedextras['extraName'];
            $extraPrice = $row_rs_addedextras['extraPrice'];
            $extraFree = $row_rs_addedextras['extraFree'];
        //echo $key;
        mysql_query("INSERT INTO cartextras(cartID, cookieID, extraName, extraID, extraPrice, extraFree) VALUES('$cart_id', '$cookieID', '$extraName', '$key', '$extraPrice', '$extraFree') ") or die(mysql_error());

        }

    }

}

The code kinda works, I just can't figure out how to add the extraPrice and extraFree also.

Any kind of guidence would be very apprieated as I have been trying to figure this out for a couple of days now, wanted to figure it out by myself because I think to learn faster that way.

Hi all i have a silly noob question....

When i directly query my database with the following i get the exact result i want.......

Code: [Select]
SELECT * FROM posts WHERE postTopic=3 AND postSubject=business;


However when i try this using the following PHP.......


$sql = "SELECT * FROM posts WHERE postTopic =" . mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']) . "AND postSubject='" . $_SESSION[forum] . "'";   


I get no result

I also get the correct results from


$sql = "SELECT * FROM posts WHERE postTopic =" . mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']) . ";   


and


$sql = "SELECT * FROM posts WHERE postSubject='" . $_SESSION[forum] . "'";   


mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']) is an integer and $_SESSION[forum] is a string.
 
I know this has something to do with the manner in which the query is passed with the AND and the string but i can't for the life of my work out where i am going wrong.

Thanks for any help.

Hi guys! Total noob here that needs a bit of help creating a form. I have gotten this piece of code and want people to optin with Name and email. Let me send the code first:

Request for PHP language:
<?php

$apiUrl = "https://udimi.com/api/affgen/addref";
$headers = [
    "Content-Type: application/json",
    "Auth: MY AUTH CODE HERE"
];
$referral = [
    'fullname' => 'Referral Fullname',
    'email' => 'refemail@domain.com'
];

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, [
    CURLOPT_URL => $apiUrl,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
    CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
    CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => false,
    CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
    CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode($referral),
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $headers
]);

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);

if ($err) {
    echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
    echo $response;
}

Success JSON response (HTTP status code: 200):
{"error": false}

Failed JSON response (HTTP status code: 200):
{"error": "Pass identity verification and earn a commission as Udimi affiliate."}

POST fields:
fullname: required, 2-25 chars, only English letters.
email: required

So I figured I need to create a html file with a simple form, so I created this:

<fieldset>
<legend>Form</legend>
<form action="test.php" method="post">
<label>Full Name: </label><input type="text" name="fullname" /><br />
<label>Email: </label><input type="text" name="email" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</fieldset>

The problem is that I got it populate something when entering the form but the name was "Referral Fullname" as the code and the email was "refemail..." as the code. It did not grab my input.

Any pointers here? Should I approach it in another way? 

Hi. I'm currently taking a class in PhP and I'm having issues getting my code to work. I "borrowed" part of the code from elsewhere (but I fully understand each line - which is really the point of learning) I'm hoping a second set of eyes might help on what's wrong:

I'm running Wamp Server v2.0 on my local PC to test the scripts... I'm sure I'm probably going to have more then just this error with the script, but it's hard to move forward when you're stuck spinning your wheels. Any help would be greatly appreciated... and any suggestions as to a better way to approach this would be welcome as well. I am here to learn after all

Here's the error I'm getting:
