PHP - Using Php To Generated Different Content To A Single Page.

This is more of an SEO question. 

I have a site with couple hundred categories within each city. I was wondering what the best approach is to do them?

www.mysite.com/browse/apples?city=new-york

www.mysite.com/browse/new-york?category=apples

Which one is the better way to do it for seo purposes? 

If it's the first method, that would mean I would have to create couple hundred pages for those categories yes?

Hello

I am having problems setting some security to a prize page on my website.
What I need, is to make sure that a user cannot just refresh and get the price again.
The price page is loaded in a frame so redirection is no good, and that doesn't stop the user from just hitting the "back" button and then refresh.


Anyone have an idea how to do this the simple way?

I am creating a user inbox system. I am retrieving all the unread messages. Each message row contains a "reply" form. So say I have 10 messages showing on a single page. That's 10 forms.

What I would like to know is how can I submit any one of the 10 forms and not have it affect the remaining 9 forms?

Here is the basic code.

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  $post_message = trim($_POST['message']);

  $errors      =  array();
  $db->beginTransaction();

  if(empty($post_message)) {
    $errors[] = 'The message field can not be empty!';
  }

  if(empty($errors)) {
    $db->commit();
    
    echo 'success';

  } else {
    $db->rollBack();
  }
}
<form action="" method="post">
  <fieldset>
    <textarea name="message" maxlength="10000" placeholder="What would you like to say?"></textarea>
  </fieldset>
  <fieldset>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
  </fieldset>
</form>

 

PHP script return 20 UL LIST values like,

< ul >

B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I
J
K
L
M
N
O
P
Q
R
S
T

< /ul >

How to display UL LIST into row wise 5 columns like

A B C D

I J K L
M N O P
Q R S T (20 ITEMS)

Hi, I've been scratching my head for a while now about how to do this, I'm relatively new to php and mysql and perhaps foolishly taking on creating a user area for a website.  I have everything else working, all of my register account functions and confirmations and all of the login scripts etc. 

I have created a profile page which returns various information to the user (this bit works fine) and I've got some nice show/hide toggles running with some javascript/css but my intention is to allow the user to change thier information (e-mail address, contact phone number and also whether they are subscribed to the e-mail list), it also displays any support tickets or messages.

So after the long intro, here's what I'm struggling with...  I have a form in a visibility toggled <div> which submits a 'change_email' script, so a user wants to change their e-mail, clicks on change, the <div> appears, they bang in the new e-mail and hit submit.

My php script appears to work (because it doesn't throw up any errors), until you realise that actually it's not updated the record in the db...

I'm using mysql_query("UPDATE users SET email='$new_email' WHERE username='$user'");

Do I need to setup variables for all of the information in the db (name, username, password, email, contno etc etc) and include them in the command to get it to work or should that just pick the correct record and then update it? If that is the case is there a way I can include 'blank' variables so I don't have to set them all up...

e.g.  mysql_query("UPDATE users SET user='',password='',email='$new_email', etc WHERE username='$user'");

Many thanks in anticipation

About a year ago I wrote a mod_rewrite in at sites htaccess file.  It was to call a page that queried the database based on a unite code that was assigned to a member.  If the member was assigned a code that was FL1001, the URL www.marketingteammates.com/FL1001 would bring up a page that quaried that member and displayed their database content.   In the users table of the site, it quaried the field webPageID and the information was called.  It called a page webpage.php that quaried the info.  The URL in the address bar still displayed www.marketingteammates.com/FL1001.  Here are the lines of code in the htaccess file.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z])([A-Za-z])([0-9]+)$ /webpage.php?webPageID=$1$2$3 [NC,L]

I now have a second page completely different from the webpage.php.  It is a page storeNumber.php and would query a field storeNumberID.  This field could contain any kind of string such as Store#101, or mystore101, or #101 is my store.   I tried using the same rewite rule just replaceing the webpage.php and variable with storeNumber.php and $storeNumberID.   This doesn't work.  It also leads me to wonder if there can even be two different pages in the mod_rewrite.  How would it diferentiate one from the other.   Thanks for any help in advance.   Mike

Hi every one
I want to share a page content(or an article) into my facebook page via php  .

How should I do that ?

Thanks

Currently, in my files, I echo content through either a function called error() or a funtion called info().

Each function has 3 require statements for the header, body and footer files and that is all that is contained in the function.

What I want to do is, if error() is called, is kind of leave the script and exit it. Surprisingly I have used exit; at the end of the functions to stop any more of the script being executed.

Is this the best way of doing it?

I have a php page in which javascript called like this
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.test.com/test.php"></script>

the output of the page shows a well detail table , but when i use file_get_content method to get that all detail in a varaible its just took above javascript like $a=<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.test.com/test.php"></script>
when i right click on page to view source it show just <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.test.com/test.php"></script>.
But on actual page there is a html table which detail i have to store in table,
Can any one tell me method.

Hello.  I am attempting to display content from a database to a web page.  I have SELECT * etc to do this, plus the menu that should be displayed has links to pages.  This would display text to the page depending on the link, for this to work I use the id of the page ($Get['id']).  Following advice (not code), I have attempted the following:

 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

  <?php include 'includes/headsection.php'; ?>

  <body>

    <?php

      // query database
      if (!empty($_GET['id']) && (intval($_GET['id']) == $_GET['id'])) {
      	$pdo_statement = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM pages WHERE id=:id ORDER BY id ASC");
      	$pdo_statement->execute(['id' => $_GET['id']]);
      	$result = $pdo_statement->fetchAll();
      }

    ?>

    <!-- topMenu -->
    <table id="topMenu">

      <tr>
        <td><h1 class="siteName">Site name</h1></td>

        <td>
          <?php
          if(!empty($result)) {
            foreach($result as $row) {
          ?>
          <a href="index.php?id=<?php echo $row['id']; ?>"><?php echo $row['menuheader'];  ?></a>

          <?php }
          }
        ?>

        </td>

      </tr>

    </table>

This issue is that the top menu (home, etc), does not appear, and there are no errors to suggest what I have done wrong.  Any help will be appreciated. I include a picture of what I mean.

There should be Home | other | etc...

I'm doing a cURL post to a server and it returns "true No_Error Data was accepted 10356546 3770 false 0 "


Form --> Method=Post --> submit.php (this is the page that's doing the cURL post and the server returns data that appears on this page).


How do I take this and put it into a string?

Most of the websites I have built have not been large and not dynamic in nature, but I need to make one now with a boatload of content on it. and I’m needing a little resource help where I can research something. I’m sure all developers do this, and I know I need a massive database or 2 and the PHP knowledge I already have, but I’m just looking for a little guidance about how to do this the easiest way. It may actually sound like a stupid question and I might be over-thinking a bit. So…

Lets say I have 500 articles that I want to make available to a site visitor and give them the option to choose what they want to look at through nav menus and submenus. I want the same page to display to the user, regardless of what article is chosen.  how does PHP play a part in that? Would I be right by saying the following?

If the home page had this content on it:

This website is a course in PHP coding. <a href="courseTemplate.php" target="_blank">Click here</a> to view course #1.

and I wanted all the course content to be displayed through the use of the “courseTemplate.php” file, how simple is that? I would assume that these types of things would be the results and the techniques to accomplish the goal, right?

=> a resulting URL that looks like this:

www.site.com/courseTemplate.php?id=1

=> storing all the text of the course material in one single field of a DB record. NOT storing the layout-oriented code (HTML, etc.) and echoing it out with the rest of the text.

=> making use of the GET() function somehow to pull the course’s text content out of the database.

Can someone show me a website that demonstrates this? I don’t think this is very difficult, and I’m sure there are web resources available that show how this is done. I’m almost sure that most news agency websites do this, and I know for a fact that most forum software has this template technique written into it, regardless if SEO is included or not. Sorry for the basic nature of this question. I know some of my previous posts have been such where I’ve asked much more difficult questions than this. I have seen youtube tutorials on issues similar to this, but nothing pulled up by google really shows this in a very simplistic nature. thanks.

What I'm trying to do is get a php file with content to load into my basic page template based on the page id, however it's not loading anything, however there are no errors coming up. I've looked everywhere I could find, and tried everything I could think of. I really could use some help on this. Below is the page template code and the code I'm trying to use to get the content to load up.

page_templ.php
Code: [Select]

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="templates/content/style.css" >
<!--This is the css used for IE because we need to correct some things for it.-->
<!--[if IE]>
  <style type="text/css">
    @import 'templates/content/styleIE.css';
  </style>

      <?
      //Lets show the header. I use html where I can so smartphones load as little advanced code as possible
        require_once("header.php");
      ?>

<div id="menu">
      <?//Now our menu.
        require_once("menu.php");

Hello!

I would like to use cURL to login to the website: lockerz.com

I have some code, but it doesn't seem to work:
<?php
// INIT CURL
$ch = curl_init();

// SET URL FOR THE POST FORM LOGIN
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://lockerz.com/auth/login');

// ENABLE HTTP POST
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

// SET POST PARAMETERS : FORM VALUES FOR EACH FIELD
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'email-email=EMAIL@hotmail.com&password-password=PASSWPRD');

// IMITATE CLASSIC BROWSER'S BEHAVIOUR : HANDLE COOKIES
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie.txt');

# Setting CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER variable to 1 will force cURL
# not to print out the results of its query.
# Instead, it will return the results as a string return value
# from curl_exec() instead of the usual true/false.
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

// EXECUTE 1st REQUEST (FORM LOGIN)
$store = curl_exec ($ch);

// SET FILE TO DOWNLOAD
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://lockerz.com/auction');

// EXECUTE 2nd REQUEST (FILE DOWNLOAD)
$content = curl_exec ($ch);

// CLOSE CURL
curl_close ($ch); 
echo $content;
?>

Thank you very much if you can help!
