PHP - Using Functions To Make This Neater?

I'm trying to clean up some past coding for a project of mine and this block keeps standing out like a sore thumb, but it works and i can understand it.

What it's doing is comparing each of the users submitted data to the admin-set data and then flagging if there any errors or not.

Any suggestions on a different approach?

Code: [Select]
foreach ($_SESSION['usersData'] as $k => $v) {
foreach ($this->info as $m => $n) {
if ($m == $k) {
if ( ($n['required'] && ( empty($v) || !isset($v) ) ) ) {
$_SESSION['errors'][$k] = TRUE;
} elseif ( (!$this->escape_data($v,$n['type'])) && ($n['required']) ){
$_SESSION['errors'][$k] = true;
} elseif ($n['required'] && ($v == $n['default'])) {
if ($n['readonly'] != true)
$_SESSION['errors'][$k] = true;
} elseif ($n['required'] && $n['readonly'] && ($v != $n['default']) ) {
# Box is required, set to readonly and has a default value, if this triggers then the user has tampered with our form.
$_SESSION['usersData'][$k] = $n['default'];
} elseif (isset($_SESSION['errors'][$k])) {
unset($_SESSION['errors'][$k]);# = false;
}
} elseif ( isset($this->info['file']) ) {
if ($this->info['file']['required'] && $_FILES['file']['size'] == 0) {
$_SESSION['errors']['file'] = TRUE;
} else {
unset($_SESSION['errors']['file']);
}
}
}
}

Hi:

I found this photo gallery tutorial online:

http://www.sitepoint.com/php-gallery-system-minutes/

I uploaded it and it works really well, but I'm stumped on how to add the functions listed at the bottom of the tutorial.

I want to be able to add, edit, and delete Categories and Photos.

It has the code to do it, but it doesn't give and examples.

Can someone show me how to make them work?

I really do not understand where to add them, if I need to make new pages, etc.

Any insight would be great!

Hi,

As the title suggests I am unsure on how to first run a query which stores values into an array. I then need to run a function multiple times but use the array within the function. How is this possible? I have had no luck figuring it out yet.

1. RUN QUERY
2. BUILD ARRAY USING QUERY RESULTS
3. RUN FUNCTION MULTIPLE TIMES
4. WITHIN FUNCTION I NEED TO USE ARRAY

Many thanks
Simon

I have a script I am putting together that simulate a cricket game. The only issue is, that there are a huge number of functions because there doesn't seem to be any other way to do this properly. As well as this, there a while() loop and all this seems to be leading to the page reaching a max 30 second timeout when generating the result.

My code is attached below, it is quite messy at the moment because i've just be working on it, but I was wondering if anyone has any solutions of how I can speed this up or change to prevent a timeout:

I teaching myself php, but I am coming from java and other compiled languages, so the process has been a little bumpy. I am trying to do something like this:

Code: [Select]
class my_class
{

  function one ()
  {
     $two = two ();

     $three = three ();

     $five = $two + $three;

     return $five;
  }

  function two ()
  {
     $two = 2;

    return $two;
  }
 
  function three ()
  {
     $three = 3;

     return $three;
  }
}


Unfortunately, I keep getting an error message saying that my call to two () is an undefined function. I am gathering from this that the scope of one () is not aware of the existence of two (). Is there a way to get around this so I can call two () and three () from one ()?
