PHP - Linking Page But Url Getting Too Long
I'm working on a site that provides database results. To get to the final report, I'm going through a few pages where the user selects specific options. This builds up arrays that need to be passed from one page to another. As a result the final page has a pretty lengthy variable list. Since I want to provide a link to certain customers where they don't have to go through all the option select stuff, I'm using the GET method on the final page. Due to all the arrays I need to pass, I'm hitting hyperlink address character limitations, and I fear I will eventually hit browser URL length limits. Is there any way to provide links to customers without using the GET method so I could keep the URL length down?
Similar TutorialsI have the following code on a page Code: [Select] <?PHP session_start();?> <HTML> <HEAD> <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <TITLE>Running Test Cricket</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <?PHP echo "Time at start ".$_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME']; #This is our hourly updates for teams if it is due - it is set off by the variable 'teamUpdateTime' echo "<BR>1"; $updateTime=time(); #Get the current time and put it into the variable $teams = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM teams WHERE teamUpdateTime<'$updateTime'"); //Go through all the teams while($team = mysql_fetch_array($teams)) { echo "<BR>UPDATING - hourly - ".$team['name']; #Show the team we are updating include("../updates/hourly_update_team.php"); #Update all the teams that are due to be updated } echo "<BR>2"; mysql_close($sqldb); //Close the database echo "<BR>Time at end ".$_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME']; ?> </BODY></HTML>While the code is crude it is not for the public to see - it is for updating teams in an online game I am creating. What my problem is that the REQUEST_TIME at the start and end of the code are always outputted the same; the code is there to see how long the page takes to do. I sit there and count how long the page takes to activate (load, whatever the terminology is) and it can take up to 40 seconds - but the REQUEST_TIME tells me it takes 0 seconds so obviously something is wrong. My question is simple - how do I get this code to output the REQUEST_TIME when the code starts and when it finished, thus showing me how long it took for the page to load. I wish to do this to try and speed it up.

Suppose there's a link on a ASP page into a PHP page, also there a link in the PHP page to the ASP page. I was thinking about use session variable to go back and forth between the page, but I don't know how to use the variable in the PHP or ASP code. Is this a correct way? Or is there any other approach? regards, ethereal1m Ok. Thought I'd be able to do this myself but ran into a couple of snags. This is the template page for the image thumbnails. WHen a thumbnail is clicked it is dragged into this template. I put the code for the comments on the page but it's just not working properly. When I post comment the comment posts but the picture turns into my BAD PHOTO ID error message. Have some ideas on whats going but it's getting kind of messy. If you need to see the pages from the comment system I will post. Thanks phpeople. Where's fugix?

So im creating a php website with dreamweaver CS3 and phpmyadmin, which is based on a Music Library. I have a page where you can browse by the artists name. When you click on that it shows you all the artists with that name. But its the next part im having difficulty with. Keeping this as a one page system, i want the artists albums to be displayed when you click on a particular artist. I tried some methods but it doesnt seem to work [Refer to the images from below] Image1 shows the alphabetical list..clicking on any of these takes you to Image 2 which displays all the artists. By clicking on one of these artists i want it to take me to a seperate page which shows all their albums. And by clicking on the albums it shows song names from those particular albums. These song names will then be linked to actual lyrics of the song. There are three tables i have on phpmyadmin which i want the data to be from. These are albums -album_id -artist -album_name -tracklisting -genre -release_date -price -album_image -album_description artists -artist_ID -artist -artist_info -image media -media_id -song_url -video_url -artist -album -song_title -lyrics The ones in bold are the field names id like to be included in the php script. The edition of mhpmyadmin i have doesnt enable linked tables. any help would be greatly appreciatted. Thanks.

Hi I'm trying to figure out how to calculate how long since a datevariable I have stored is from whenever the page is loaded.. I currently have a stored datevariable in the format: YYYY-MM-DD H:m:s ... So basically what I wish to accomplish is figuring out whenever i load the page which has stored this variable, how much time has passed. I want it to show up as for example : '10 minutes ago'.. '1 hour 25minutes ago' if it's the same day.. if its more than 1 day old it's enough to show only the number of days.....'1week 3 days ago' etc etc If I break up this long line of code will it still work correctly? Original... Code: [Select] define('WEB_ROOT', ENVIRONMENT === 'dev' ? 'http://localhost/example.org/' : 'http://example.org/'); Desired... Code: [Select] define('WEB_ROOT', ENVIRONMENT === 'dev' ?

Edited by jazzman1, 31 July 2014 - 03:21 PM. I keep getting this error, because people can track their support tickets by using a MD5 encrypted code upon submitting, and I'm wondering if maybe it's too long? Code: [Select] You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'by FROM replies WHERE replyto = 'c8c3455c5efadc80b05316c412ab61e6' ORDER BY id D' at line 1 Query: Code: [Select] $replies = mysql_query("SELECT message,by FROM replies WHERE replyto = '$id' ORDER BY id DESC") or die(mysql_error()); I've written a script thats going to take a really long time to execute...

One page about the person getting the Gift Certificate, one for the person purchasing the certificate and another for credit card information. I have read about hidden variable but am a noobie. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I'm working on a website that displays data based on when a file is created. The page keeps checking to see whether or not a file exists. As long as the file doesn't exist, the page keeps reloading and checking to see whether or not the file exists until the file finally does exist. Once the file exists, the page goes to another page that displays the contents of the file that it was waiting for. This design works, but I've noticed that it takes a long time for the page to recognize that the file exists. Once the file exists, the page keeps checking and reloading, several times -- even though the file exists. After many reloads, it finally "sees" the file and goes on to the next page. Why does it take so long for my page to recognize the existence of the file? Here's a sample of how the reloading page (the page that keeps checking for the existence of the file) works. <?php header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1 header("Expires: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past session_set_cookie_params(0); session_start(); ?> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv='cache-control' content='no-cache'> <meta http-equiv='expires' content='0'> <meta http-equiv='pragma' content='no-cache'> </head> <body> <p>Processing...</p> <script> myFunction(); function myFunction() { setInterval(function(){ location.reload(); <?php clearstatcache(); if(file_exists($_SESSION['filename'])) { $existance = true; } else { $existance = false; } ?> if("<?php echo $existance ?>") { window.open("done.php","_self"); } else { } }, 5000); } </script> </body> </html> As you can see, I use the "clearstatcache();" statement in order to make sure that the server's information is current before checking the existence of the file. I have also used meta tags, in the HTML, and php headers in order to make sure that nothing is being cached. This is all in an attempt to make sure that it's not looking at old data when it checks to see if the file exists. Despite all of this, the browser keeps reloading, over and over again, usually about ten times, even after the file exists. Any ideas why this is happening?
