PHP - Noob Question - Best Way To Add A Class To A Doc
OK so sorry if my understandings a bit off, but if a I want to introduce a class into my doc is the best way to fo this with the include() function?
Similar TutorialsHi all i have a silly noob question.... When i directly query my database with the following i get the exact result i want....... Code: [Select] SELECT * FROM posts WHERE postTopic=3 AND postSubject=business; However when i try this using the following PHP....... $sql = "SELECT * FROM posts WHERE postTopic =" . mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']) . "AND postSubject='" . $_SESSION[forum] . "'"; I get no result I also get the correct results from $sql = "SELECT * FROM posts WHERE postTopic =" . mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']) . "; and $sql = "SELECT * FROM posts WHERE postSubject='" . $_SESSION[forum] . "'"; mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']) is an integer and $_SESSION[forum] is a string. I know this has something to do with the manner in which the query is passed with the AND and the string but i can't for the life of my work out where i am going wrong. Thanks for any help. Long story short i'm paginating database results. So pages = results / res-per-page-limit but 28 / 10 will be 2.8 should i use round() or ceil()? I hope no one rolls their eyes at me, lol, but I literally, just made my first PHP script, but I ran into a snag.
Okay so the code I did was
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <?php echo <h1>"my First PHP script"</h1>; ?> </body> </html> but in firefox the outcome is always "my first PHP script?> I had added the h1 tags because it wouldn't print at all before I did. I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong. But how do I check input to make sure that the input has to be seperated by commas and has to be a integer like "1,2,3,4,5" is correct if a user puts "1,:25,,l2@" or something funky, I can error out Thanks also is there a php function that does this already? and is this way safe? im trying to store comma seperated id's OK, so I have a question about databases and how they sort things being loaded into them. I have a database that I have images uploaded to (some people dont like to do it this way but this is what is going to work for my project). I have it set up with an id column that auto-increments. When I upload the files for some reason it is putting the highest id number first and the second one is the lowest then it goes in order from there. Why would this be happening and how do I correct it? I'm really sorry if this has been answered (I assume it has) I'm unfamiliar with search terms of what I am trying to do. I have this web page Code: [Select] <html> <body> <?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass"); if (!$con) { echo "Fail"; die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } echo "Triumph"; ?> </body> </html> Which I got from a snippet. I load the webpage expecting to see fail or triumph, but I see nothing. My question is how to run the php script so I see something on the page (hopefully triumph. I apoligise for my noobness, I'm a PHP know nothing at the moment. Hi everyone Well I've started learning php yesterday and now I encountered my first problem, I looked around but I don't really know what to search for if I want my answer so here I come Code: [Select] <html> <body> <?php $names = array('Peter','Quagmire','Joe'); $ages = array("Peter"=>32, "Quagmire"=>30, "Joe"=>34); $who = rand(0,2); $who2 = $names[$who]; echo "$names[$who] is $ages[$who2] years old"; ?> </body> </html> This is the script I have, and there is the kind of script I expected: Code: [Select] <html> <body> <?php $names = array('Peter','Quagmire','Joe'); $ages = array("Peter"=>32, "Quagmire"=>30, "Joe"=>34); $who = rand('Peter','Quagmire','Joe'); echo "$who is $ages[$who] years old"; ?> </body> </html> But after some search I concluded that rand is only used for random numbers So, my question is, which function should I use to achieve my goal? Is there any randstring('string1','string2',etc) command? Tnx for your time So I'm using simplexml_load_file($url) to load up a client's XML file so I can use it with a jQuery slide show right. My problem is that some of the strings within the xml files are often times sentences and when I echo, for example... Code: [Select] echo $xml->images->categories->category[$gallery]->images->image[0]->description[0]; I should see Dream as if you'll live forever, Live as if you'll die today but all I'm getting is Dream as if you It appears as though php is getting confused when it sees those little single quotes. Anyone? hey guys! I just got started with php (yesterday) and im currently trying to write a script that cuts email signatures off. The first filter ($sig[0]) works fine, the string is cut and posted- and, well, that's it. I think i did sth wrong within the for- but i cant find it. So please help me out. A hint would be fine already. Thanks in advance- and here is some code: Code: [Select] <?php $string="TESTSTRING!! I AM AN EMAIL TEXT!!! SO RANDOM! --- I AM A SIGNATURE!! HERP DERP CUT ME OFF"; //define possible sig starts (=filter) $sig[0]=("#=="); $sig[1]=("---"); $sig[2]=("the name of an enterprise"); $sig[3]=("___"); for ($i=0; $i<=3; $i++) { /* or count($sig) ? */ $sigpos=strpos($string,$sig[$i]); if($sigpos>0) { $string= substr($string,0,$sigpos); break; echo $string; } else { echo $string; break; } } ?> <br> <? //show where the sig is cut off echo $sigpos; ?> I'm almost embarrassed to ask such a simple question but I just cannot get this to work. I'm trying to figure out how to use sessions that takes the information from a form on the first page and displays it on the last. I have this on page 1: <?php session_start(); ?> <form action="test2.php" method="post"> <p>Page 1</p> <p>First Name <input type="text" name="first" /></p> <p><input type="submit" value="Next page 2" /></p> And this for page 2: <?php SESSION_START(); $_SESSION['first'] = $_POST['first']; echo $_SESSION['first'] = $_POST['first']; ?> <form action="test3.php" method="post"> <p>Page 2</p> <input type="submit" value="Next page 3" /> </form> And this for page 3: <?php SESSION_START(); $_SESSION['first'] = $_POST['first']; echo $_SESSION['first'] = $_POST['first']; ?> <p>Page 3</p> <p>You're done</p> I can get it to display on page 2 but not on page 3. Can anyone tell me why? I've been at this for a long time and it should be simple but I cannot get it to work. Thanks in advance. Hello everyone! I'm completely new to PHP and Databases. I've managed to do some nice work by reading, but now I've encountered a problem I can't solve. I made a site with trailers and got tierd of adding them manually. So I created a form which sends the trailer info to my database. There's now trailers in specific organized genres. But the list is beginning to get really big so I wanted to show just 10 trailers per page. And so I found out I could use a paging system which I ALMOST got working. Just one last thing that needs to be fixed and that is when I click on next page "http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/test.php&page=2" it doesn't show the content. While "http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/test.php" does. So I just need that next button to work, I don't know if theres something missing or what it is... Note: I'm new to all this so please excuse my very very bad coding. Here is my code: test.php <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.n.nu/createdfiles/trailers/style-twentyten.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/paginate.css" /> <?php $rpp = 10; // results per page $adjacents = 4; $page = intval($_GET["page"]); if(!$page) $page = 1; $reload = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; // connect to your DB: $link_id = mysql_connect("server","username","my password"); mysql_select_db("database"); // select appropriate results from DB: $sql = "SELECT * FROM blablabla WHERE Genre LIKE '%Drama%' ORDER BY `blablabla`.`sort` DESC LIMIT 0, 9999"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $link_id); // count total number of appropriate listings: $tcount = mysql_num_rows($result); // count number of pages: $tpages = ($tcount) ? ceil($tcount/$rpp) : 1; // total pages, last page number $count = 0; $i = ($page-1)*$rpp; while(($count<$rpp) && ($i<$tcount)) { mysql_data_seek($result,$i); $query = mysql_fetch_array($result); // output each row: echo "<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />"; ?><strong> <img src=" <?php echo $query['Poster'];?>" /><?php echo "<br /> <br />"; ////////////////////////////// //SHOW TITLE, YEAR AND GENRE// ////////////////////////////// echo "<H1>"; echo $query['Title']; echo "<br /> <br />"; echo "</h1>"; ?></strong> <?php echo "<H2>"; echo $query['Year']; echo "</H2>"; echo "<br />"; echo "<H3>"; echo $query['Genre']; echo "</H3>"; ?> <a href=" <?php ////////////////////////////// //SHOW IMDB, ACTORS AND PLOT// ////////////////////////////// echo $query['IMDB']; ?> " target="_self">Link to IMDb</a> <?php echo "<br /> <br />"; echo "<H2>Stars:</H2>"; echo "<br />"; echo "<H3>"; echo $query['Actors']; echo "</H3>"; echo "<br />"; echo "<H2>Plot:</H2>"; echo "<br />"; echo "<H3>"; echo $query['Plot']; echo "</H3>"; echo "<br /> <br />"; echo "<H2>"; //////////////// //SHOW TRAILER// //////////////// ?> <div id="<?php echo $query['ID'];?>" style="display: none;"> <?php echo $query['Youtube']; echo "</div>"; ?> <a href="javascript:ReverseDisplay('<?php echo $query['ID'];?>')">Click to show/hide trailer.</a> <?php echo "</H2>"; echo "<br /> <br />"; $i++; $count++; } // call pagination function: include("paginate_one.php"); echo paginate_one($reload, $page, $tpages); ?> <?php //////////////////////////////// //SCRIPT FOR SHOW/HIDE TRAILER// //////////////////////////////// ?> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><!-- function HideContent(d) { document.getElementById(d).style.display = "none"; } function ShowContent(d) { document.getElementById(d).style.display = "block"; } function ReverseDisplay(d) { if(document.getElementById(d).style.display == "none") { document.getElementById(d).style.display = "block"; } else { document.getElementById(d).style.display = "none"; } } //--></script> paginate_one.php <?php /************************************************************************* php easy :: pagination scripts set - Version One ========================================================================== Author: php easy code, www.phpeasycode.com Web Site: http://www.phpeasycode.com Contact: webmaster@phpeasycode.com *************************************************************************/ function paginate_one($reload, $page, $tpages) { $firstlabel = "First"; $prevlabel = "Prev"; $nextlabel = "Next"; $lastlabel = "Last"; $out = "<div class=\"pagin\">\n"; // first if($page>1) { $out.= "<a href=\"" . $reload .

I am trying to count the number of rows per group. e.g: $sql = "SELECT *, COUNT(id) FROM image GROUP BY city"; $result = mysql_query($sql); $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); echo $row['COUNT(id)']; So if there are, for example, 5 New York's in the table, 3 London's and 2 Sydney's I want the echo to display 5, 3, 2 Should I use a loop for this? Cheers hey guys! Im trying to get hashtags out of a string. The function works so far- but i cant transfer the insides of the preg_match_all array into the string. A hint would be fine already. Thanks in advance- and here is some code Code: [Select] <?php //example string $strcontent = "ima string... #wat #taggy #taggytag im in your stringz, stealing your charz!"; //find hashtags preg_match_all("/(#\w+)/", $strcontent, $matches); echo $matches; //the output is just "array" -> why? foreach ($matches as $match) { // $tempmatch=$match[1]; #####like this? //hiding the hashtags via span $strtemp="<br>ima span<br>" . $match . "<br>ima /span<br>" . $strcontent; $strcontent = $strtemp; echo $strcontent; } #echo $strcontent; # <span style="display:none;"></span> ?> I'm starting to use a class to perform DB functions because I think it is more efficient. I found this class on the internet and understand pretty well what is going on. My problem is that I can't put the results on the screen when I use the class. (I can do it with out using the class but I'd like to learn to use it) function fetch($info) { return mysql_fetch_array($info); this is how I'm attempting to use it $db = new mysql; $db->connect(); while($row = $db->fetch($db->query("SELECT * FROM Attributes"))) { echo $row['Attribute']."<br>"; } This just echos the first row forever and I'm not sure how else to go about this. Any help would be appreciated. Hello, I'm doing something that looks like framework. It's my first serious "project". And now, I have a few questions: what basic functions are needed in MVC model class? Just tell me some functions, that could use, so I could try to code them. And the next question is... I'm going to create a login system for users. In my website there will be pages, that are visible for all visitors, and only for members. For example main website page should be visible for all visitors, but the page, where member can change his password, should be visible only for member. I know only one way to do this: allways and everywhere check if user is logged in. But isn't there smarter and simpler way? I hope you understood what I need. Sorry for bad english heres an example of the code i have Code: [Select] class someclass { public function run($parm) { system($parm); } public static function create($item1,$item2) { $this->run($item1 . $item2); } } then i have a file that attempts to use the create method: someclass::create($one,$two); when interpreting, i get this error: "Using $this when not in object context in" does anyone know how I can fix this? I think I understand why its wrong (the class hasn't really been set up) - I just dont know how to correct it. Is there a way I can access class functions without using $this ? additionally I tried making the run method static too, but that didnt seem to work. Hi, I'm newbie to php opp. I just need to know if it is possible to instantiate a class like this? $import = new geoIpImportCSV(obtainDownloadFileName(), 'table1'); class geoIpImportCSV { private $input_zip_file; private $db_table; function __construct($input_zip_file, $db_table) { $this->input_zip_file = $input_zip_file; $this->db_table = $db_table; } /* "GeoLiteCity_" . $date . ".zip". */ function obtainDownloadFileName() { return "GeoLiteCity_20101201.zip"; } // ... } It is possible to call a method(obtainDownloadFileName()) like this to the constructor? Best Regards, Why is the proper way to call a class is to call a method at the same time? For example Code: [Select] $class = new SomeClass(); $class->some_method(); I understand why you would do this but lets say you just have a simple class that you pass some data. The class than processes the data in some way than returns it. It is my understanding if you were to make a class likes this. Code: [Select] class SomeClass{ function __construct($data){ //process data// return $data; } } That this code is considered an improper way of doing this because you should never return data from the __construct. So would this follow code be the proper way to handle this? Code: [Select] class SomeClass{ function __construct($data){ $this->some_method($data); } function some_method($data){ //process data// return $data; } } Any good explanation on the proper way to handle this would be greatly appreciated. When I am making simple classes to do a specific task it would seem more efficient not having to know about any particular method inside the class. I'm confused as to why assigning these variables in the class causes the page not to load... var $RootFolder = '/shyid/'; var $PagePath = str_replace($this->RootFolder, '', dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])); var $PageSections = explode('/', $this->PagePath); but when i set them on the page, everything works correctly? $head->RootFolder = '/shyid/'; $head->PagePath = str_replace($head->RootFolder, '', dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])); $head->PageSections = explode('/', $head->PagePath); Insight? Thanks. |
