PHP - Ugghhh. Array Is Not Getting Defined.

Hey,

I'm in the process of making a site that involves multiple layers of folders. I have a form that uploads an image which i then try to move to the image folder using a define function using the document root + image folder but the image never gets saved to the defined location and the location isnt inserted into the sql query. Its a simple thing I want to do but since Im making a bigger site I want to maximize includes to reduce duplicate code.

Include File - defines the document root
Code: [Select]
srvRoot = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$serverRoot = str_replace('/', '\/', $serverRoot);
define('SRV_ROOT', $srvRoot);

Image Upload
Code: [Select]
$image = $_FILES["catImage"]["name"];
$image = addImage($image, SRV_ROOT . "images/shop/img_cat");

function addImage($image, $path){ // FIX FIX FIX
$fileExtension = getExtension($image); //this function works fine have tested in previous scripts so not needed
$image = substr(md5(rand() * time()), 0, 10).".".$fileExtension;
$imgDestination = $path.$image;

if($_FILES['catImage']['type'] != "image/gif" && $_FILES['catImage']['type'] != "image/jpg" && $_FILES['catImage']['type'] != "image/jpeg" && $_FILES['catImage']['type'] !="image/png" ){
echo "You may only upload image files";
}else{
//Moves the uploaded file to destination folder via the variable which includes image filename
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["catImage"]["tmp_name"],$imgDestination)){
return($imgDestination);
}else{
header("Location: ../../home.php");
}
echo $imgDestination;
}


}

Hello folks,

So, I have decided to start a small CMS, for learning purposes.
It's going pretty smooth, but I decided to implement a hook system, so you can extend the CMS without touching the core files.

I have the following idea: To create a hook, a person creates a php file in the hooks folder, and simply redeclare every method of my classes he/she wants.

Example:

I have a class called Users that has a method called showUser, like the following:

Code: [Select]
class Users {
function showUser($id) {
    echo "Welcome ". $id;
}
}

then, in the hooks folder, a file called Users_leavePlease.php:

Code: [Select]
function showUser($id) {
    echo "Please leave " . $id;
}

The problem is...php won't allow it. It gives me the function redeclare error if I include the php file.

Any ideas how can I make this work?

thanks,

bl00dshooter.

I have defined my database connection data as constants in a separate file for security reasons.  How can I simply access the data stored in those constants.  I have to call the file to get the value of the constants.  If I inadvertently call the file twice in a script  using an include or require statement, I get an error that I am trying to define the constants again.  Can I somehow just call the constants without including the file where they are defined?

hey guys i used defined variables inside my index.php and these defined varaibles are called and used through the site...is this good or bad?

defined varaibles
Code: [Select]
define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
define('PARENT_DIRECTORY_PATH', dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . DS);
define('PUBLIC_DIRECTORY', BASE_URL . DS .'public' . DS);
define('PRIVATE_DIRECTORY', BASE_URL .'private' . DS );
thank you

I am having trouble with passing values with a POST to another php file.  I am getting the error :  undefined index : productID and undefined index: filename.  I have also tried :  <form   method = \"POST?pdib=$processID&filename=$filename\" action = \"upload2.php\"  >  When I look at the array of superglobals, they are both defined.  Thank you!

With the above script I am getting following notice:

Code: [Select]
Notice: Undefined index: user_name
It is regarding the user name variable, my question is how to solve this one and avoid the notice?

As my title said the question, i want to destroy my session after a particular time if user is being ideal..
currently i am using this code to define my session:

Code: [Select]

session_start();
// Check, if username session is NOT set then this page will jump to login page
if (!isset($_SESSION['myusername'])) {
header('Location: admin.php');
}

Hi guys,

Basically I am developing a page where the order status of customers are listed in a tabular form, what I need now is to mail these data to my email address at a defined date (e.g. 1st day of next month) automatically. I do not know how to code this since I am just self studying and is still a noob.

Thanks.

Hello all,

I have a 14 column csv that I load into an array, retrieving only the required fields, load the array into columns and perform a sort:
Code: [Select]
foreach ($array as $key => $row) {
$firstname[$key] = $row["firstn"];
    $lastname[$key] = $row["lastn"];
    $address1[$key] = $row["addr1"];
    $address2[$key] = $row["addr2"];
    $address3[$key] = $row["addr3"];
$city[$key] = $row["cit"];
$stateprov[$key] = $row["state"];
$country[$key] = $row["cntry"];
$membernumber[$key] = $row["num"];}
array_multisort($membernumber,$lastname,$firstname,$address1,$address2,$address3,$city,$stateprov,$country,$array);When I pass say the first three letters of a last name ($find = "smi"), all records matching the search criteria are returned:
Code: [Select]
foreach ($array as $key => $row) {
if (strncasecmp($find, $lastname[$key], strlen($find)) == 0) {
echo "<tr><td>" . $firstname[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $lastname[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $address1[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $address2[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $address3[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $city[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $stateprov[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $country[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $membernumber[$key] . "</td></tr>" . chr(13);
}}}So far so good. However, I'd like to put the search part into a function so I can call it a number of times without having to reload the entire csv:
Code: [Select]
function FindMember() {
foreach ($array as $key => $row) {
if (strncasecmp($find, $membernumber[$key], strlen($find)) == 0) {
echo "<tr><td>" . $firstname[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $lastname[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $address1[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $address2[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $address3[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $city[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $stateprov[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $country[$key] . "</td>";
echo "<td align='right'>" . $membernumber[$key] . "</td></tr>" . chr(13);
}}}}The search criteria would come from a second txt file with every line containing 2 numbers, separated by a comma:
Code: [Select]
foreach ($lines as $member => $numbers) {
$exploded = explode(",", $numbers);
$find = $exploded[1];
FindMember();here $exploded[1] corresponds to $membernumber[$key], so this is where I would call the function, but this is where I run into trouble, nothing gets returned.

Does this have something to do with the scope of variables inside a user-defined function?

I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

TIA

First off, let me say that this will not be a public use site.  We want to create a site that allows us to run queries in our database; this way we don't need to log into the MySQL server when ever we want to run a query.

Basically, I am trying to create something as simple as a form with a text-input and a submit button.  In this text-input, we will write a query (such as SELECT * FROM xxxx).  When we hit submit, we would like to have the MySQL table printed out in a large textbox below.

Our database has multiple tables, so something that works across the entire database seamlessly is key.

Has anyone ever made anything like this?  Is there another way to go about this?  We really just want an easy way to run queries on the go.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

Long time lurker, first time poster here.  I am having a problem with a multiple file uploader form I am trying to build.  I am using the CodeIgniter framework, but I believe my problem is with the form itself.

Here is the form:
Code: [Select]
<form action="http://localhost/show/submit" id="sendfiles" method="post" name="sendfiles" enctype="multipart/form-data">   
<input type="hidden" name="doup" value="1" />
    <input type="file" name="userfile1" value="" id="userfile1" size="20"  />    <br />
    <input type="file" name="userfile2" value="" id="userfile2" size="20"  />    <br />
    <input type="file" name="userfile3" value="" id="userfile3" size="20"  />    <br />
    <input type="submit" name="submit_btn" value="Upload"  />    </form>   
   

The form is being passed to this function:


if(empty($_POST['doup'])){
            foreach($_REQUEST as $k => $v)
                print ">>> $k : $v <br />";

                }
                
            }
            $this->session->set_flashdata('img_data',implode("||", $uploaded_files));
           // redirect("show/submit_info");
        }    



The problem is this:

When I choose only one file to upload, it works.  I can choose any of the 3 inputs and it works great.  But as soon as I try to choose 2 or more files, the form fails to post.  When I press submit, the page simply reloads and none of the form variables get posted.  I have checked settings in php.ini and tried building and rebuilding this form.  I'm hoping someone here can provide some insight into what I'm doing wrong?

I have the following code just to insert a username and hashed password into the database but somehow I am getting this error and I couldn't find out where I am doing it wrong...can someone please give me a hand?   I tried it in two ways and both errors... the first few lines are just connecting database which worked fine and a password.php so I can use password_hash() with my php version

$hash = password_hash('xx', PASSWORD_BCRYPT, array('cost' => 10));
$username = 'xx';


$insertQuery = $db->prepare("
		INSERT INTO et_todo (username, password)
		VALUES (:username, :hash)
	");

$insertQuery->execute(array(
		'username' => $username,
		'password' => $hash
	));

also tried

$hash = password_hash('xx', PASSWORD_BCRYPT, array('cost' => 10));

$insertQuery = $db->prepare("
		INSERT INTO et_todo (username, password)
		VALUES ('xx', :hash)
	");

$insertQuery->execute(array(
		'username' => 'xx',
		'password' => $hash
	));

Hi:

I have my hosting from GODaddy, and my making tables in mySQL for my small CMS that I use to edit the page content.

I have what I think is a error messgae "No index defined" (see attached .JPG).

What does this mean? Do I have to define this? The CMS works fine.
All it does is update the fields.

??

NOTE - Please read the information first as it contains important information to understand the problem.

Rules →

• There are 9 Columns(C1,C2,C3,C4,C5,C6,C7,C8,C9) [ Max columns will be 9]

• The number of Rows can vary from 3,6,9,12,15,18 (Max). In this case Number of Rows shall be 12

Number of Rows = No of Tickets (Max Allowed 6) x Rows Per Ticket (Max Allowed 3). Thus, Max Rows can be 18

• Each Row is required to have 4 Blank Spaces and 5 Filled with Numbers

• All numbers available in the Column Array have to be utilized

• This configuration of an shall create a matrix of 9 Columns & 12 Rows (3 x 4 Tickets), which is 108 MATRIX BLOCKS where only a maximum of 60 numbers can be filled out of 108 available blocksrandomly with the above conditions being met 100%.

• The numbers in column must be arranged / sorted in ASCENDING ORDER (For coding logic purpose, as soon as the number is assigned to the new MATRIX MAP use array_shift() or unset() the number so as to avoid repetition

Example - Row 1 and Column 1 shall generate a MATRIX BLOCK - R1C1

Row 3 and Column 7 shall generate a MATRIX BLOCK - R3C7

Matrix Block can also be termed as Matrix Cell for your ease (if needed)

MASTER SET OF ARRAY WITH NUMBERS

array( "C1"=> array( 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9 ), //7 Numbers "C2"=> array( 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19 ), //6 Numbers "C3"=> array( 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 30 ), //7 Numbers "C4"=> array( 31, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39 ), //7 Numbers "C5"=> array( 41, 42, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 ), //7 Numbers "C6"=> array( 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 57, 58 ), //7 Numbers "C7"=> array( 61, 62, 64, 65, 69, 70 ), //6 Numbers "C8"=> array( 71, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78 ), //6 Numbers "C9"=> array( 82, 83, 85, 87, 88, 89, 90 ) //7 Numbers );

The above array has 60 Numbers to be filled out of 108 MATRIX BLOCK / CELL which meets the condition that for a FULL BLOCK containing 4 MINI BLOCKS WITH 3 ROWS (max. allowed) EACH

I have been able to generate this without any issue meeting all the conditions of the Columns

My Allocation Matrix Array will look like

array( "R1"=> array( "C1"=> true, // Means that MATRIX BLOCK R1C1 will be NOT EMPTY "C2"=> false, // Means that MATRIX BLOCK R1C2 will be EMPTY "C3"=> true, "C4"=> false, "C5"=> true, "C6"=> false, "C7"=> true, "C8"=> true, "C9"=> false ), "R2"=> array( "C1"=> false, "C2"=> true, "C3"=> false, "C4"=> true, "C5"=> false, "C6"=> true, "C7"=> true, "C8"=> true, "C9"=> false ), "R3"=> array( "C1"=> true, "C2"=> true, "C3"=> true, "C4"=> true, "C5"=> false, "C6"=> false, "C7"=> false, "C8"=> false, "C9"=> true ), "R4"=> array( "C1"=> true, "C2"=> true, "C3"=> true, "C4"=> false, "C5"=> true, "C6"=> true, "C7"=> false, "C8"=> false, "C9"=> false ), "R5"=> array( "C1"=> false, "C2"=> false, "C3"=> false, "C4"=> false, "C5"=> true, "C6"=> true, "C7"=> true, "C8"=> true, "C9"=> true ), "R6"=> array( "C1"=> true, "C2"=> true, "C3"=> false, "C4"=> true, "C5"=> false, "C6"=> true, "C7"=> false, "C8"=> false, "C9"=> true ), "R7"=> array( "C1"=> false, "C2"=> false, "C3"=> true, "C4"=> false, "C5"=> true, "C6"=> false, "C7"=> true, "C8"=> true, "C9"=> true ), "R8"=> array( "C1"=> true, "C2"=> false, "C3"=> false, "C4"=> true, "C5"=> false, "C6"=> false, "C7"=> true, "C8"=> true, "C9"=> true ), "R9"=> array( "C1"=> true, "C2"=> false, "C3"=> true, "C4"=> false, "C5"=> true, "C6"=> true, "C7"=> false, "C8"=> false, "C9"=> true ), "R10"=> array( "C1"=> false, "C2"=> true, "C3"=> true, "C4"=> true, "C5"=> true, "C6"=> false, "C7"=> true, "C8"=> false, "C9"=> false ), "R11"=> array( "C1"=> false, "C2"=> true, "C3"=> false, "C4"=> true, "C5"=> true, "C6"=> true, "C7"=> false, "C8"=> true, "C9"=> false ), "R12"=> array( "C1"=> true, "C2"=> false, "C3"=> true, "C4"=> true, "C5"=> false, "C6"=> true, "C7"=> false, "C8"=> false, "C9"=> true ) );

In the above array R stands for Row, C for Column, TRUE/FALSE (Boolean) means that if TRUE a Number can be filled in the resulting MATRIX BLOCK / CELL ( Row[Number]Column[Number] ) else if FALSE the MATRIX BLOCK / CELL shall be EMPTY

The result for the above shall be

PROBLEM : 

I am unable to understand what should possibly be the logic & loop used here for creating a MATRIX ALLOCATION MAP as shown above

I have tried while, foreach & for but unable determine the perfect combination which would meet the conditions.

(Tried all of the above with Nested Loops also)
