PHP - Setup Array To Define Form Elements To Generate

Ok im only new to PHP and Im trying to setup my own porfolio website using PHP,CSS,HTML5 and other bits. Iv downloaded WAMP and im tryin to get my website workin offline first.

Well im just trying to get a section in my site in the top right corner for a login and register area similar to this website (membership section) iv bein following some online video tuts and completed them right but Im not sure how to integrate it into my existing home page,/ index.html page.

I want to have it so that it says login or registered and it works through php. all the tuts I followed seem to have this done on one index.php page and im getting confused as to how I can have a small section on my home page just for registering if yano what I mean.....

Maybe its a silly question....im still learning....Any help be gratefull

$bl = array(); 
$link1 = array_rand($cds); 
$link2 = array_rand($cds); 
$link3 = array_rand($cds); 
$link4 = array_rand($cds); 
$A = 0;
while (!in_array($link1, $bl)){
$link1 = array_rand($cds);
$bl[$A] = $link1;
$A++;
}
while (!in_array($link2, $bl)){
$link2 = array_rand($cds);
$bl[$A] = $link2;
$A++;
}
while (!in_array($link3, $bl)){
$link3 = array_rand($cds);
$bl[$A] = $link3;
$A++;
}
while (!in_array($link4, $cds)){
$link4 = array_rand($cds);
$bl[$A] = $link4;
$A++;
}
echo $link1;
echo $link2;
echo $link3;
echo $link4;

Pretty much I'm trying to generate 4 number's between the min and max of an array but I don't want any duplicates. So it checks if the number exists in a bl array if it does it generates another number, well thats the theory. Doesn't work like that though.

Hi , how I can save something into form?
I mean , insert something in variable  and than insert it into value in the form so when i send the form the value will be send too.
I also want that it will be can not change.
for example :

<input name="email" value="a@s.d"/>

but this example can be change if you insert something else.

thanks , Mor.

Here is how I get categories for article listing. Article can be written in several categories at once. So I have this code:


Code: [Select]
$category = '1,5,23,46'; //Category IDs

$get_cats = explode("," , $category);
$cats = "";

for ($i = 0; $i<count($get_cats); $i++ ) {
$cat  = trim($get_cats[$i]);
$catSlug = get_value_of($cat, "inc/cat_ids.php");
$catName = str_replace("-"," ",$catSlug);
$cats .= "<a href=\"index.php?category=$catSlug\">".strtoupper($catName)."</a>, ";
}
$cats = substr($cats,0,-2);

As you can see there's get_value_of function that is used to read the category from the file. File is cat_ids.php and looks like this:
Quote

1='category-name-1';
2='category-name-2';
3='category name-3';
4='category-name-4';
5='category-name-5';
etc.



I want to improve this in order not to read the file at each step ("for" loop).
Means, one can load the file and then generate a list of (links) category compared to the numbers (Ids).
So if $category is "1,3,4" I want to get list like this (by reading cat_ids.php):
category-name-1, category name-3, category-name-4

With current function I read value for every ID from file in every step. So if article have 10 or more categories script load file 10 or more times. Looking for a solution to do this from a reading file only once.


Thanks.

what I am trying to accomplish is for the user to select the state they wish, hit submit. At this point another form should show asking which county based on the state they picked, then hit search.

At this point, I'm having an issue having the state variable being passed to the 2nd form also having the state they selected stay selected.


<?php
$default = "Step 1. Pick Your State";
$select = "<option name='statebox'>$default</option>";
  echo "<br/><form method='POST' action=".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']." >";
   echo "<select name='search'>";
echo "$select";
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Connect to the database
include_once 'phpforms/connect.php';

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM states");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$state = $row['states'];
echo "<option name='statebox'>$state</option>";
}//End While
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
        echo "</select>";
        echo "<input align='left' type='submit' name='stateboxbutton' value='Ok'> ";
  echo "</form>";
  
echo "</td>";
     echo "<td>";

if(isset($_POST['stateboxbutton'])){
$statesearch = $_POST['statebox'];
$selected = $_POST['statebox'];
$select = "<option name='statebox'>$selected</option>";

  echo "<br/><form action='../search-results.php' method='POST'>";
   echo "<select name='search'>";
echo "<option name='default'>Step 2. Pick Your County</option>";

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Connect to the database
include_once 'phpforms/connect.php';
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM counties WHERE state LIKE '$statesearch'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$co = $row['counties'];
            echo "<option name='county'>$co</option>";
}//End While
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

        echo "</select>";
        echo "<input align='left' type='submit' name='button' value='Search'> ";
  echo "</form>";

}else{
}//End Else

I'm trying to set different colors on rows of a table using an array,
Problem is I cannot get it to work right, i'm not sure where to place my for loop so that it works right and generates a different color for different row.
Code: [Select]
$color = array(red,green,blue);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($exec))
{
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>'.$row['brand_name'].'</td>';
echo '<td>'.$row['contact_name'].'</td>';
echo '<td>'.$row['contact_info'].'</td>';
echo '<td>'.$row['email'].'</td>';
echo '<td>'.$row['description'].'</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}

I tried putting for loop only for tr, but it didnt work.
Code: [Select]
for ($i=0;$i<=count($color);$i++)
{
echo "<tr bgcolor=\"".$color[$i]."\">";
}

I cannot put it within the while loop, it'll repeat the rows for all the colors.
So where exactly do I place the for loop so that it works right?

I have this array of items in my php file.

 

$items = array(
    array("id" => 100,"categorypath" => "level1/powders", "product" => "Mens powder"),
    array("id" => 200,"categorypath" => "level1/oils/sunflower", "product" => "XYZ oil"),
    array("id" => 300,"categorypath" => "level1/eatable/vegetables", "product" => "carrot"),
    array("id" => 400,"categorypath" => "level1/oils/sunflower", "product" => "ABC oil"),
    array("id" => 500,"categorypath" => "level1/eatable/fruits", "product" => "mango"),
    array("id" => 600,"categorypath" => "level1/eatable/vegetables", "product" => "spinach"),
    array("id" => 700,"categorypath" => "level2/baby items/toys", "product" => "puzzle block"),
    array("id" => 800,"categorypath" => "level2/baby items/toys", "product" => "trucks and cars"),
    array("id" => 900,"categorypath" => "level2/baby items/clothes", "product" => "shirts"),
    array("id" => 1000,"categorypath" => "level1/powders", "product" => "Womens powder"),
    array("id" => 1100,"categorypath" => "level1/oils/groundnut", "product" => "GN oil"), 
);

Using the above array I am trying to generate a JSON file that will have the following structu

Not being an expert in php, I have somehow managed to reach thus far in my code, but can not quite arrive at the correct logic. Having trouble with handling associative arrays and objects in php. (Javascripting is much easier I feel) So far I have managed to fix all the errors/warning in my code.

Here is my full php code:

 

$items = array(
    array("id" => 100,"categorypath" => "level1/powders", "product" => "Mens powder"),
    array("id" => 200,"categorypath" => "level1/oils/sunflower", "product" => "XYZ oil"),
    array("id" => 300,"categorypath" => "level1/eatable/vegetables", "product" => "carrot"),
    array("id" => 400,"categorypath" => "level1/oils/sunflower", "product" => "ABC oil"),
    array("id" => 500,"categorypath" => "level1/eatable/fruits", "product" => "mango"),
    array("id" => 600,"categorypath" => "level1/eatable/vegetables", "product" => "spinach"),
    array("id" => 700,"categorypath" => "level2/baby items/toys", "product" => "puzzle block"),
    array("id" => 800,"categorypath" => "level2/baby items/toys", "product" => "trucks and cars"),
    array("id" => 900,"categorypath" => "level2/baby items/clothes", "product" => "shirts"),
    array("id" => 1000,"categorypath" => "level1/powders", "product" => "Womens powder"),
    array("id" => 1100,"categorypath" => "level1/oils/groundnut", "product" => "GN oil"), 
);

$jsonStruct = array();

function jsonCreateStruct(){
    GLOBAL $items;
    for($c=0; $c<count($items); $c++){
        $categ = $items[$c]["categorypath"];

I have now reached a point where I desperately need help from experts.

 

Hi, I have an html form in "send.htm" that sends data to "retrieve.php" with the following structu

send.htm:
Code: [Select]
<html>
<body>

<form method="post" action="retrieve.php"
<select id='select' name='select' >
                        <option>option1</option>
                        <option>option2</option>
                        <option>option3</option>
                        <option>etc...</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>

</body>
</html>
retrieve.php:
Code: [Select]
<?php

$selectedoption        = $_POST['select']; 

print"

<html>
<body>
<select id='select' name='select' >
                        <option>option1</option>
                        <option>option2</option>
                        <option>option3</option>
                        <option>etc...</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>
";
?>
How do I specify that the select menu in retrieve.php should have the option selected that was chosen from the select menu in send.htm?

I'm guessing this is probably quite straightforward, but I can't quite work it out. Please help!
Thanks.

I have a MySQL table with a list of albums and there is a field called "views" with the number of views each album has received. I'm looking to generate an array of all the albums in the table and sort the array by the number of views (descending). I have a list of functions defined in a ContentController.php file. I created a new function called build_albumlist, which I've pasted below. The function "get_ip_log" already exists and works, and I used it as a template to create the "build_albumlist" function:





   public function build_albumlist(){
      return $this->select_raw("SELECT * FROM albums WHERE deleted = '0' ORDER BY views DESC",array(),'all');
   }

public function get_ip_log(){
      return $this->select_raw("SELECT * FROM sessions ORDER BY ID DESC",array(),'all');
   }


When I use the function, I get this warning:


Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given inC:\xampp\htdocs\Controllers\DBController.php on line 10

[font=cabin, 'trebuchet ms', helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The "select_raw" function that I used in "build_albumlist" is defined in the DBController.php file, and is defined as below:[/font]
private function clean_array($params){
      $final=array();
      foreach($params as $param){
         $final[]=mysql_real_escape_string($param);
      }
      return $final;
   }
   public function select_raw($query,$params,$type=''){
      $query=str_replace("?","'%s'",$query);
      $final_query= call_user_func_array('sprintf', array_merge((array)$query, $this->clean_array($params)));
      if($type==''){
         $result=mysql_query($final_query) or die(mysql_error());
         return mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
      }
      elseif($type=='all'){
         $result=mysql_query($final_query) or die(mysql_error());
         $final=array();
         while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
            $final[]=$row;
         }
         return $final;
      }


Does anyone know why the "build_albumlist" function is generating this warning, while the "get_ip_log" is not? Any help would be great, as I am obviously pretty new to this.

Hi, I'm quite new to PHP so please forgive me if this is a bit simple!

I have a form on my website, which uses PHP to generate an email to me, the recipient. It works, but there are two new modifications I need help with.

First of all, I want the PHP to generate a 'thank you' email to the person who has submitted the email. Please could somebody show me the code, and where to add it?

Secondly, I want the email to come through to me from the email address of the person submitting the form (i.e. replacing the donotreply email address currently). Again, could somebody please show me how to do that?

Many thanks in advance

public function getEventTypes()
{
  return array(
   1=>array('Exhibition', 1),
   2=>array('Wedding', 1),
   3=>array('Business', 1),
   4=>array('School Trip', 0),
   5=>array('Birthday', 0),
   6=>array('Concert', 1),
   7=>array('Sporting Event', 1),
   8=>array('Training', 0),
   9=>array('Conference', 1),
   10=>array('Other', 1),
  );
}
 
I now want to generate a new array from this array as follows:
 
1) must retain the existing key
2) must be single dimensional and the value of each element will be value[0]
3) must only contain the array elements where value[1] = 1
 
So for example the generated array should be as follows:
 
 
public function getActiveEventTypes()
{
  return array(
   1=>'Exhibition',
   2=>'Wedding',
   3=>'Business',
   6=>'Concert',
   7=>'Sporting Event',
   9=>'Conference',
   10=>'Other',
  );
}

Hello,
I have ran into a unique scenario.  I am trying to generate a unix timestamp (by using the gmmktime function).  The problem is, I have multiple tags in a form doing the same thing.  for example (I have truncated some of the values for sake of page length/readability):
  Code: [Select]
<label for="dateMonth[6]">Date:</label>
 Month: <select name="dateMonth[6]" id="dateMonth[6]">
<option value="9">September</option>
<option value="10" selected="selected">October</option>
<option value="11">November</option>
<option value="12">December</option>
</select>
Day: <select name="dateDay[6]" id="dateDay[6]">
<option value="29">29</option>
<option value="30" selected="selected">30</option>
<option value="31">31</option>
</select>
Year: <select name="dateYear[6]" id="dateYear[6]">
<option value="2010" selected="selected">2010</option>
<option value="2011">2011</option>
<option value="2012">2012</option>
<option value="2013">2013</option>
</select>
Hour: <select name="dateHour[6]" id="dateHour">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
 Minute: <select name="dateMinute[6]" id="dateMinute">
<option value="0" selected="selected">00</option>
<option value="15">15</option>
<option value="30">30</option>
<option value="45">45</option>
</select>
AM/PM: <select name="AMPM[6]" id="AMPM">
<option value="AM">AM</option>
<option value="PM" selected="selected">PM</option>
</select>
Now, as you can see, I have an array of these elements.
AMPM[6] dateHour[6] dateMinute[6], AMPM[7] dateHour[7] dateMinute[7], AMPM[8] and so on...

The problem I am having is coming with the logic to consolidate all of the post variables that are 6s to make the unix timestamp, then all of the 7s to make a timestamp, and so on.  Could someone please point me in the right direction on how to go about processing this?

Thank you!

In many cases, variable have to be explicitly defined for whatever reason.

However, often it is not required for a simple web page script.

Yet, even in those cases, if a variable is NOT explicitly defined, the web server error log (example: my_domain.com-error_log) will rack up a lot of entries such as this: Quote

[Fri Dec 31 01:31:43 2010] [error] [client 123.123.123.123] PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: some_variable_name in /home/my_domain/public_html/some_page.php on line 6


A busy site could result in large error logs...

What is considered "best practice"? Should all variables always be explicitly defined with the var key word?

Hi all,
 
I was reading a bit in the manual about the defined function. Since i have seen it being used quite a lot to disallow direct access. But one of the comments made me think if there are any alternatives to get the same.
it's this comment: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.defined.php#89886

If i read it correct it tells that defined() seems to be pretty slow. I was thinking, if that is the case what are the alternatives...

Does anyone know how to interpret this comment and if there are alternatives? I am not yet a guru tofully understand the results.

cheers!

I am able to get all elements but the 'i*'  parts.

How do I do this.

Code: [Select]
$formarray = array(
'name' => array(
'i1'=> array('a'=>'a1', 'b'=>'b1', 'c'=>'c1', 'd'=>'d1', 'e'=>'e1', 'f'=>'f1', 'g'=>'g1'),
'i2'=> array('a'=>'a2', 'b'=>'b2', 'c'=>'c2', 'd'=>'d2', 'e'=>'e2', 'f'=>'f2', 'g'=>'g2'),
'i3'=> array('a'=>'a3', 'b'=>'b3', 'c'=>'c3', 'd'=>'d3', 'e'=>'e3', 'f'=>'f3', 'g'=>'g3'),
'i4'=> array('a'=>'a4', 'b'=>'b4', 'c'=>'c4', 'd'=>'d4', 'e'=>'e4', 'f'=>'f4', 'g'=>'g4'),
)
);

foreach ($formarray as $newarray => $a) {
?><strong><?=$newarray;?></strong><br><?
  foreach ($a as $key => $k) {
foreach ($k as $b) {
?>"<?=$b;?>", <?
}
?><br><?
} //end of second foreach
?><br><br><br><?
} //end of first foreach
?>
