PHP - How We Call A File In Php

Hello all

I have a php and jquery/ajax call I am using to create a file/send an email. I get all the contents from my textboxes but I want a message to display on the screen afterwards being success or fail. In my .ajax call My call is exiting right before the ‘success:’  part. Why is my call not succeeding? Any tips/help will be appreciated

Thank you

OVERVIEW:

The code is about making call to the escreen web service using SOAP and Curl with client authentication required. Currently I am not getting any result only HTTP 403 and 500 errors.
The call requires client authenticate cert to be on the callng site.

CODE:

    $content = "<TicketRequest>

QUESTIONS:

1. I need to call the RequestTicket method and pass the XML string to it.
   I don't know how to do it here(pass the method name to call).

2. For client authentication they gave us three certs, one root cert, one intermediate
   cert and a client authentication cert PROTPLUSSOL_SSOpem(it was a .pfx file). Since we are on linux we converted them to pem . In curl calls I could not find way to how to include both the root cert and the intermediate cert ,so I combined them by making a new pem file and copying the intermediate cert and them the root cert and naming it authority.pem .
I am not sure whether it works or not and would like your opinion.

3. For the current code Iam getting the error
   Error no : 77 Curl error: error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: /home/pps/authority.pem CApath: /home/pps/

 
  If I disable the curl error message,I am getting blank page with page title 403 - Forbidden. Access is denied.

  If I comment out the CURLOPT_CAPATH and CURLOPT_CAINFO lines it gives http 500 error page with the message as content and the following at the top.

 > HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error. Cache-Control: private Content-Type: text/html Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5 X-AspNet-Version: 1.1.4322 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Date: Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:46:38 GMT Content-Length: 1208

If I comment out as above and also CURLOPT_SSLCERT and CURLOPT_SSLCERTPASSWD it gives 403 error with the message as content.

So I would request you to help me out by pointing out whats wrong with the current code.

Thank you.

I can call the following function successfully as a single php program

  // Acknowledge and clear the orders
   function ack($client, $merchant, $id) {
         $docs = array('string' => $id);
         $params = array('merchant' => $merchant, 'documentIdentifierArray' => $docs);
         $result = $client->call('postDocumentDownloadAck', $params);
         return $result;
         }
with

   $result = ack($t, $merchant,'2779540483');

successful output

    [documentDownloadAckProcessingStatus] => _SUCCESSFUL_
    [documentID] => 2779540483

I'm trying to figure out how to call this function as an object from another program.

Trying the following gives error  ***Call to a member function call() on a non-object***

  function postDocumentDownloadAck($t, $merchant, $id) {
     $this->error = null;
     $docs = array('string' => $this->id);
     $params = array('merchant' => $this->merchant, 'documentIdentifierArray' => $docs);

 **  I've tried the following which does nothing
     $result = $this->soap->call('postDocumentDownloadAck', $params);

** I've tried the following   -  which gives error "Call to a member function call() on a non-object"
     $result = $this->t->soap->call('postDocumentDownloadAck', $params);

     if($this->soap->fault) {
        $this->error = $result;
        return false;
     }

     return $result;
  }


***

calling program snippet for above function
   $merchant= array( "merchant"=> $merchantid, "merchantName" => $merchantname, "email"=> $login, "password"=> $password);
   $t = new AmazonMerchantAPI($merchantid, $merchantname, $login, $password);
   $documentlist= $t->GetAllPendingDocumentInfo('_GET_ORDERS_DATA_');
   $docid = $documentlist['MerchantDocumentInfo'][$i]['documentID'];
   $docs = array('string' => $docid);
   $ackorders = $t->postDocumentDownloadAck($t, $merchant,$docs);

Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong are greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I've been trying this for hours now, looking at different examples and trying to change them to work for me, but with no luck...

This is what I am trying to do:

I have a simple form with:
- 1 input field, where I can enter a number
- 1 Submit Button

When I enter a number into the field and click submit, I want that number to be send to the php file that is in the ajax call, then the script will take that number and run a bunch of queries and then return a new number. I want that new number to be used to call the php script via ajax again, until no number is returned, or something else is returned like the word "done" or something like that, at which point is simply makes an alert or populated a div with a message...

The point is, that depending on the number entered it could take up to an hour to complete ALL the queries, so I want the script that is called to only run a fixed amount of queries at a time and then return the number it is currently at (+1), so that it can continue with the next number when it is called again.

I would like to use jquery, but could also be any other way, as long as I get this to work. I already have the php script completed that needs to be called by the ajax, it returns a single number when being called.

Thank you,
vb

Hi,   I'm trying to combine the two codes below so that my images can be styled by CSS?

echo '<img src="' . get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/category-two.png' . '" alt="Your Alt Text" />';

array( 'class' => 'alignleft' )

Thanks for your time.

I have created a form and the .php file that collects the selected data. What I cannot seem to find out is the code to put into the process.php to retrieve information from my sql db that a crawler retrieved.   Form

Trying to hook up to an API using php. The API commands are sent in url query strings. Depending on the command you are sending in the query string, the API returns an XML file or text. For commands that return an XML file I can use $response=simplexml_load_file($APIcall) and parse and store the xml that comes back into $response.

But with text responses from the API I cannot find a way to handle the reply. Using xml_load_file() results in errors displayed since it was expecting xml and nothing gets stored in $response, although the command is correctly executed by the API. I can use headers('Location: $APIcall') but that just gets the text response sent to a new window. $response=get_headers($APIcall) works for some commands but still does not capture the text response.

how to get the name of the file including a file from the included file,

This one has me mixed up a bit.. I am trying to record site activity information from a common.php file using a user object. But since the file is included into different php files based on different situations I need a dynamic way of finding the file name that is including it. I could be over complicating things but right now this seems like the best solution other wise I'll have to rewrite the code on every page i write. Is there a function for doing this? Or if someone gets what I'm trying to do if they could point me to the direction of some more information on it.

Thanks.

I'm writing a program that allows users to input a stock and view a historical price chart. Code is straight out of libchart charting library. Problem is, user is supposed to enter the stock symbol from a form handler (index.php) which then passes the symbol as a variable to the charting function, which doesn't get called at all: <? php   function index() { chart($_POST['userinput']};    }  ?> .   <?php   function chart($stock)   {   $prices=getdata($stock); //returns array of prices from yahoo finance   $data=analyzer($prices); //produces metrics to be charted   graph($data); } ?> //plots the metrics, outputs .html   chart.php works on its own, as I've verified by hardcoding $argv='ibm'; in its code body. But index.php can't seem to call chart.php, as I've verified by including an echo/var_dump line in chart.php (doesn't get executed at all). It doesn't have anything to do with form handling either, as chart('ibm'); doesn't call chart.php either.  I don't understand how a 6-line piece of code can be so problematic. All files are in the same folder, btw.   Thanks.

Please help me out.

Is this even possible? I'm trying to call function nameGen from in the function nameGen but I just get an error saying cannot redeclare. I only want it to return $newName when it is not in the array $takenVals. can this only be done with another loop and a constant somewhere?

Code: [Select]
$newVarVals = array();
$takenVals = array();
$varCount = count($varArray); // contents are set else where and is fine
for($i = 0 ; $i < $varCount; ++ $i)
{
function nameGen(&$varCount,&$takenVals){
$newName = rand(0,$varCount);
if(in_array($newName,$takenVals))
{
nameGen(&$varCount,&$takenVals);
}
else{
return $newName;
}
}

$newName = nameGen(&$varCount,&$takenVals);

$takenVals[] = $newName;

$newNameToKeep = '$_'.$newName;

$newVarVals[] = array('oldName' => $varArray[$i], 'newName' =>  $newNameToKeep);
}

error: Cannot redeclare nameGen()

$y is my variable that I increment by a for loop.
This variable determines the number of every row

..and then i'd concat'd $y with the name of
the textboxes of every column and row

      name="orno<?php echo $y;?>"

now, i'm not sure if i'm supposed to concat with the name
or should it be with the id?

HOW DO i CALL THE NAME FROM ANOTHER PAGE?

this is what I did and I don't know if this is right
 
    $orno= $_POST['orno'.$y];

and since I know I may not be
making much sense with my explaination above,
this is my add_content.php where it all starts
I've only included the part where the textboxes
are displayed by/within a loop and where the
names are concatenated with the variable $y.
I have dropdowns and textboxes for the date and
other elements above this.

 <div id="slider">
<ul>
<?php
$num=$_GET['num'];//this here represents the number of rows
//of textboxes user wants to appear
//there are 5 textboxes in one row and 10 rows in one page
//this is a sliding page with jquery
$nump=$num / 10;
$y=1;//initializing y
for($j=1;$j<=$nump;$j++){//determines how many pages then loops accordingly
?>
<li>
            <p>
    <?php

    for($i=1;$i<=10;$i++){//loops 10 times to return 10 rows in a pages
if(strlen($y)==1){
echo "0";
}
echo $y."&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;";
?>
         <input name="orno<?php echo $y;?>" id="orno" type="text" size="3" maxlength="6" onKeyPress="return isNumberKey

(event)" value="<?php
if (isset($_POST['orno'])) {
echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['orno'], ENT_QUOTES);
}?>">
        
         <input name="billnmbr<?php echo $y;?>" id="billnmbr" type="text" size="16" maxlength="17" value="<?php
if (isset($_POST['billnmbr'])) {
echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['billnmbr'], ENT_QUOTES);
}?>">
        
        <input name="payor<?php echo $y;?>" id="payor" type="text" size="35" maxlength="50" value="<?php
if (isset($_POST['payor'])) {
echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['payor'], ENT_QUOTES);
}?>">
        
        <input name="arrastre<?php echo $y;?>" id="arrastre" type="text" size="7" maxlength="8" onKeyPress="return isMoneyKey

(event)" value="<?php
if (isset($_POST['arrastre'])) {
echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['arrastre'], ENT_QUOTES);
}?>">
        
        <input name="wharfage<?php echo $y;?>" id="wharfage" type="text" size="7" maxlength="8" onKeyPress="return isMoneyKey

}?>"><br />
        
        <?php $y++; }?>
        </p>
</li>
<?php $y=$y; } ?>
</ul>
</div>

then we go to add_save.php
this page is still very lacking because
I don't know how to evaluate then save
multiple rows yet since I've originally done
a page that saves one row at a time in which the
textboxes' names aren't from a loop and
were not concatenated.
<?php 

//please take a look at how I am calling the $_POSTs from the prev page

Hi,

I was asking for help with this elsewhere, but after a week no one was able to answer my question so I thought someone here might be able to shed some light on it. My original question was:

"I have an action that instantiates an object, and that object instantiates a bunch of child objects, and so on. My question is, do I only have to set set_time_limit() once in the action, in order to have that rule propagate to the execution of all of its child objects, or do I also have to set this in each of the class files that it calls? I similarly need to set ignore_user_abort() which I haven't used before, and I have the same question for that."

To clear up confusion about what I was asking, I clarified this way:

"That the limit applies to the "script" is the ambiguity I'm confused about. Technically, the original file is one script, so you set the timeout for that. But when it instantiates and object whose class code is coming from another file, that's a different "script", so presumably it could have its own timeout. And that's what my question is. Does the time out value you set automatically propagate to every other file that file calls on, or is it isolated to that file?

If you set a time limit of 100 seconds, but instantiated an object from class code in a different file and called a long running method in it, and that file had a different time out, say of 30 seconds, the execution time of the original file would be limited to 30 seconds and not 100."

In sum, do functions like ignore_user_abort() and set_time_limit() automatically apply to all code in the files a particular "script" require_once()'s? Or would it have to be set in those files as well?

I would just test myself to find out, but the method I would use to do that would be sleep() and that time isn't counted toward set_time_limit() so it won't work.

Thanks very much for any clarification someone might be able to give.
