Help With Thought Process!	View Content

This may spill over into java, just not quite sure yet!

Basically what I am trying to do, is fill a box with text, click a button which runs a function which send the text in the box via a JSON request to an external server.

The JSON works fine, I just want a way of submitting the string which hopefully doesnt involve a form, but its the only way I can think of!

Any other ideas?

Simple Attatchment Fix?? ...or So I Thought!

Similar Tutorials

View Content

Was just wondering if anyone could help out with what should be a fairly simple fix for a contact form with image upload.

The image DOES get uploaded to the temporary folder, but doesn't appear when I receive the email into my account.

I think the form is almost good to go, just can't figure out why the image is not attatched to the email when i receive it - guessing the problem is somewhere in the last 10 lines of code.

Really appreciate if someone could figure what's I'm doing wrong. (...perhaps it was thinking I could learn PHP in the first place!).

Thanks.

Font Tester - I Thought I Had It.

Font tester - I thought I had it.

Hi all

I'm trying to produce this font tester where you can set a font with inputted text at a selected size.
In my demo here http://www.ttmt.org.uk/test/ I can type in text and select the size. The image is set with
the correct text and size but everything else is removed from the page.
How can I do this so the image of the text appears below the form in the image tag.

Code: [Select]
<?php
  if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
    // Set the content-type
   header('Content-Type: image/png');

   // Create the image
   $im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 30);

   // Create some colors
   $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
   $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
   imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 29, $white);

   // The text to draw
   $text = $_POST['text'];
   $textSize = $_POST['size'];
   $font = 'corbelb.ttf';

   // Add the text
   //imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text);
   imagettftext($im, $textSize, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text);

   // Using imagepng() results in clearer text compared with imagejpeg()
   $img = imagepng($im);
   imagedestroy($im);
  }

There is a sql query happening if the item is not empty, what I NEED and can not seem to figure out is to re run the rand() function. The server is PHP 4 so it is not possible to use the goto statement... That would be to easy. So any help would be great...

I Thought It Was Solved. Not So! Insert/update

I put a snippet up yesterday, and thought it had been solved. It had a typo error, but there is still something wrong. The whole page follows, because it might be easier to see what I am doing. The form successfully inserts a new record OK, but it will not update a record that already exists as is intended. Instead, it always creates another new record. Where can I be wrong?

<?php
session_start();

// See if logged in member by checking session data
if (isset($_SESSION['recid'])) {
    // Put stored session variables into local php variable
    $userid      = $_SESSION['recid'];
    $username    = $_SESSION['name'];
    $school      = $_SESSION['college'];
    $payer_email = $_SESSION['payer_email'];
    $group1      = $_SESSION['group1'];
    $group2      = $_SESSION['group2'];
    $group3      = $_SESSION['group3'];
    $group4      = $_SESSION['group4'];

Erm...text / Textarea Query...not As Simple As I Thought...

Hi,

very simple i'm sure... i have a code for a text box to pull info into from a mysql table. easy enough:

Code: [Select]
<?php echo "<input type=\"text\" id=\"b_info\" name=\"b_info\" value=\"$b_info\" style=\"width: 327px\" /text>"; ?>

but suppose i dont just want a "line of text" i want one of those boxes with the scroll bar down the side (lol like the one im writing this in ) how do i change the above code to do it?

i though doing this:
Code: [Select]
<?php echo "<input type=\"textarea\" id=\"b_info\" name=\"b_info\" value=\"$b_info\" style=\"width: 327px\" style=\"height: 185px\" /textarea>"; ?>

would work, but obviously not, all ive done is make the box bigger

easy workaround?

Thanks

How Is This Linking Process Done? Please Help.

I have been trying to figure out how this is done? One php file and all that changes is the name of the brand and the logo. This has to be clickable from a menu and also if a user changes the brand name it changes to the appropriate name and logo. Any ideas as to how this is done? If you can guide me in the right direction or give me an example of how this is done would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Run Php Process In Background

Similar Tutorials

View Content

Hey guys, I've hit a huge obstacle in my coding process of a script I am writing.

It is basically an uploading interface script and it works like this. I have files on my server and I want a user to click a button which fires a php script which in turn fires a bash script which IN TURN fires the uploading program (plowshare).

So to make it simple: user logs in, sees upload button. Clicks it, file starts uploading. I then want the user to see "upload initiated" and that's it. The problem is that with what I have now, the script just won't finish loading until the file has been uploaded and as a matter of fact I don't even think it is uploading anything :S

Here are the scripts:

PHP interface to call the bash script:
Code: [Select]
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

function run_in_background($Command, $Priority = 0) {
if ($Priority)
$PID = shell_exec("nohup nice -n $Priority $Command 2> /dev/null & echo $!");
else
$PID = shell_exec("nohup $Command 2> /dev/null & echo $!");
return($PID);
}

function is_process_running($PID) {
exec("ps $PID", $ProcessState);
return(count($ProcessState) >= 2);
}

$file = $_GET['file'];
// Location of file relative to the index
$where = $_GET['where'];
// Absolute index location
$absolute = '/var/www/vhosts/animekyun.com/httpdocs/icarus/';
$where = $absolute . $where;
//$outfile ='log';
echo $where . $file . '<br>';

echo "<h2>The upload has been initiated!</h2>";

$ps = run_in_background("/bin/sh uploadparser.sh $file $where > $outfile");
while(is_process_running($ps))
//echo $output;
?>

Bash script to call uploading program:
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh
{
FILE=$1
WHERE=$2
FILENAME="/var/www/vhosts/animekyun.com/httpdocs/icarus/debug/debug_mu_$FILE"
FILENAME2="/var/www/vhosts/animekyun.com/httpdocs/icarus/debug/debug_multi_$FILE"
/usr/local/bin/plowup megaupload "$WHERE$FILE" >> "$FILENAME".txt 2>&1
/usr/local/bin/plowup multiupload "$WHERE$FILE" >> "$FILENAME2".txt 2>&1
} &

this works fine when I pass the variables as arguments in CLI

I hope i have been clear enough, it does seem rather confusing

E-mail Php Process

I have a full working order form in PHP. I process it and display it with a process page called "process.php." Whenever this information is displayed on the web page "process.php" I also want it to send me an e-mail with all of the information that it just processed. i.e. Checked checkboxes, text entered, etc. Whenever I try to send the contents of "process.php" to an email $message = include 'process.php'; the process page just goes through an infinite loop displaying itself over and over again instead of sending itself in an email.

Process Problems

i have a form for which the data is sent to a process page via jquery like so:

Code: [Select]
jQuery.post('<?php echo $this->site_root; ?>/modules/new_post_process.php',{
message:jQuery("#message_contents").val() } ,function(data)
{etc...

new_post_process checks the contents of message like so:

if (empty($message) && empty($error))
    {
        $is_error = true;
        $error = 'Please Enter A Message';
    }

the problem is that it always throws this message even when the textarea isnt empty. however after the error has appeared if i submit again it goes through fine. I suppressed the error and tried and the database gets populated with an empty value which means it is indeed empty. so why does it work on the second time around? I am using CKEditor for the textarea. everything else gets submitted normally but this textarea. heres the full code:

the textarea:

Code: [Select]
<textarea cols="80" rows="10" id="message_contents"></textarea> Code: [Select]
jQuery("#new_post_form").submit(function()
{
jQuery.post('<?php echo $this->site_root; ?>/modules/new_post_process.php',{
user_name:jQuery("#user_name").val(),
redirect_url:jQuery("#redirect_url").val(),
subject:jQuery("#subject_field").val(),
forum_id:jQuery("#fid").val(),
topic_id:jQuery("#tid").val(),
method:jQuery("#method").val(),
message:jQuery("#message_contents").val() } ,function(data)
{
if (data == 1)
{
jQuery("#process_info").removeClass().addClass("subject_okay").html("<img src=\"<?php echo $this->template_path; ?>icons/small_tick.png\" alt=\"icon\" />Redirecting...").fadeIn("slow");
var URL = jQuery("#redirect_url").val();
document.location = URL;
}
else
{
jQuery("#reply_btn").css("visibility", "visible");
jQuery("#draft_btn").css("visibility", "visible");
jQuery("#process_info").removeClass().addClass("subject_error").html('<img src="<?php echo $this->template_path; ?>icons/small_error.png" alt="icon" /> ' + data).fadeIn("slow");
}
});

and the process page:

if (isset($_POST['subject']))
{
$message = $_POST['message'];

if (empty($message) && empty($error))
    {
        $is_error = true;
        $error = 'Please Enter A Message';
    }
if (empty($error) && $is_error == false)
    {
        $query = $link->prepare("INSERT INTO
                ".TBL_PREFIX."posts
                (p_fid, p_tid, p_poster, p_name,
                p_content, p_time_posted)
                VALUES
                ('$forum_id', '$topic_id', '$user_name',
                '$subject', '$message', '".$config['time_now']."')
                ") or die(print_link_error());

echo "1";
    }
    else
    {
        echo $error.'-'.$message;
    }

How To Set Up A Nightly Batch Process?

Similar Tutorials

View Content

Hi all,

Newb here with a few months of PHP experience.

I'm working on a project where if a web user signs up for a 30-day trial, they need to be notified near the end of that trial--let's say 25 days--that the trial is expiring. So I need some kind of batch process that runs in the background, perhaps every night at 1am, that looks at the signup date for all trial users and compares that date to the current date. If the difference is 5 days, then that user should be sent an email.

Does anyone know how to set up a nightly batch process that like this? I'm not concerned so much with the date comparison as I am with getting a daily process to run in the background. Coldfusion has something called a Scheduled Task, but being new to PHP, I don't know what would be comparable.

Any help welcome!

Thanks...

Payment During Registration Process

Similar Tutorials

View Content

Hi all, I am building a website for my local motorclub. we are wanting to start taking online payments for membership and events. I have built a members only area - the way to get access is for a member of staff to accept the registration. this is all fine for members who pay via cheque or simular. I am wanting a sign up process to include the payment page, was going to use paypal as the merchant. So if people want to join the club they are able to do so and get immediate access to the members only page instead of waiting for staff to check if the payment has cleared then set up there account etc. so basically i need a sign-up form (which is done) then a purchase button at the bottom, which takes the payment and then redirects to the website but 'tells my website the payment has been taken and to give full access'. I cant really explain how i want it, but i hope you understand from what i have said.

I have this 3 tables users (id_user) music_styles (id_style, style) ex. (1) - (Blues) user_styles (id_user, id_style) I'm trying to create a form in which the user ($user = $_SESSION['id_user']) chooses through a multiple select the styles of preference to store them in the database using mysqli statements. If the styles prefered are selected they should be displayed in the select input later, how can i accomplish this? Thanks.
