PHP - Php And Mysql Web Development
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but it seems to be acceptable. Please let me know if it's out of line, though. I recently started learning PHP and am going through PHP and MYSQL Web Development. It seems like a pretty good book so far. Currently I'm working through the code in chapter 1 and am running into an issue. From what I can tell, the code I should have at this point is as follows: <html> <head> <title>Bob's Auto Parts - Order Results</title> </head> <body> <h1>Bob's Auto Parts</h1> <h2>Order Results</h2> <?php // create short variable names $tireqty = $_POST('tireqty'); $oilqty = $_POST('oilqty'); $sparkqty = $_POST('sparkqty'); echo "<p>Order processed at "; echo date('H:i, jS F Y'); echo "</p>"; echo "<p>Your order is as follows: </p>"; echo $tireqty.' tires<br />'; echo $oilqty.' bottles of oil<br />'; echo $sparkqty.' spark plugs<br /'>'; ?> </body> </html> Within the PHP script, two particular blocks of code seem to be giving me problems: $tireqty = $_POST('tireqty'); $oilqty = $_POST('oilqty'); $sparkqty = $_POST('sparkqty'); and echo "<p>Your order is as follows: </p>"; echo $tireqty.' tires<br />'; echo $oilqty.' bottles of oil<br />'; echo $sparkqty.' spark plugs<br /'>'; Without these two blocks, the rest of the PHP executes but when I add one or both of these the PHP doesn't show up at all; instead it only executes the HTML and the output from the PHP doesn't show up. IF I remove these and only keep the "Order processed at" part of the script, that part executes fine. I've gone through the code in the book and it seems like what I have is correct. As soon as I try to define or call any of the variables, it seems to break the code. Any ideas? Sorry to bother you with such a basic question but I can't seem to locate a problem with this code based on what I've been taught so far. Thanks! Similar TutorialsSooo i got this idea but i dont know the line of code i should write +im an amateur coder. Anyone know how to make the 123d catch into a web application. Just gv me a start and ill modify the code slowly. And 1 more thing.. Does anybody know how 123d catch was able to combine the pictures into 3d. Like if you know can u also gv me the code.. appr3ciated alot. and also do u know how to make like if someone press the pic and moves to the left the 3d picture will move to the left also If any of you have developed mobile apps before I could really use some advice, please. I have never made one, and would like to for my website. I just need to query my database and display the information. From what I have been able to put together so far, I know that I can use css and jquery fine. My main question is: can I use php to query the mysql database? Pretty much I am a novice, so if using these languages together will not work, please feel free to suggest combinations that would be better. Although, I am trying to avoid as much object oriented stuff as I can, because I just don't get it entirely, but I'll still take the suggestion. Thanks. Hi all, Php and web development wannabe, started HTML in about 2006 for my ebay listings, CSS came shortly after but it wasn't until maybe 2009 when I used my first 'someone-else's-php-script' to implement a dynamic breadcrumb. Although I have trouble reading volumes of text, a lot of discussions on code draw me in. I end up taking in a lot but in a totally non-structured way. After lots of googling, reading and some more practice of putting 'other-people's-php' into action I found I understood that breadcrumb... Sort of. I merrily tore out over half the code and refactored using ternary operators - I can't see why people remove those to increase readability?? OFC I lost every hint of error management! Now I've heard of error management I try to envisage what might go wrong and print messages to screen if "something unexpected happened". So I've been bumbling along solving problems for specific tasks and asking a lot of questions - But I've never joined a php forum! Formulating a question that's not embarrassing to ask, usually ends with me answering my own question and when I do want to put something out there, I'd rather fill up Yahoo Answers (A few very good and very generous users on there!) with my gibberish than contaminate someone's proper, serious, scripting forum. So anyway, I had a question to ask earlier, YA seems to be running out of steam and I only half answered it myself so here I am... Hi! Hi all. Does anyone use Localstack to for local AWS development? I'm currently developing on a system that uses numerous AWS SQS queues, AWS ElasticSearch, AWS Redis, and many, many S3 buckets with about three dozen PHP-based micro-services; I've built a local development environment consisting of containers using several Docker images, one of which mocks AWS using a Localstack image. This works, for the most part, but I find that the Localstack instance just ... stops working. It - after a random amount of time, and intermittently if more often than not - won't process any of the queues that the system uses, or will drop bucket contents despite being set up for persistence (the `DATA_DIR` objective is set to `/tmp/localstack/data` as instructed in the README). I get the impression that Localstack is fairly widely used for local AWS development, so I have to assume if this was a normal situation I'd've found it in my searching, but so far it doesn't seem to be a big deal. I'll post the docker-compose file here if it helps, but does anyone have any experience with a similar situation and feel like sharing tips? Did it work, did it not, do I need to convince my company to pay for the pro version, do I need to do a modified rain dance, etc? As always, thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice.

Edited June 26 by sen5241bHi,
I hope this belongs to the right sub-forum.
I'm gonna be on the move for quite some time, and I was wondering if there was an [almost] ideal portable PHP development environment, which I can treat just like the non-portable counterpart, which will include using Composer, Laravel, etc.
With a little research I found http://zwamp.sourceforge.net/ and http://www.codelobster.com, but I'm not sure how efficient they are.
Any of you guys use this approach?
Thanks.
HI All,
I need some suggestions on how to proceed on with component development. and any logic code or similar coding will be very much appreciated.
The component should display the list of contents displaying some columns from a table(ie.,scncontent) from database similar to web links component along with the tool bar (new,edit,publish,unpublish,trash etc., actions ) and with pagination also . This component should be designed with MVC architecture. On clicking new or edit icons, a form should be opened and data should be saved or updated to database.
Hey guys just thought I'd introduce myself as it's a polite thing to do.
My name is Nick I am currently a front end developer and love learning new technologies so it looks like PHP is my next step.
I hope to learn and give whatever knowledge I can back

Kaiser http://lenmakiser.com In php.ini on my local development server, error_reporting is set to Quote error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT And I get no errors. However, on the remote web server I found a bunch of warnings in the error log. I fixed most of them, but this error/warning should have popped up on my development console: Quote [02-Dec-2011 17:47:22] PHP Warning: array_keys() [<a href='function.array-keys'>function.array-keys</a>]: The first argument should be an array in /home/bpslk/public_html/cart-checkout.php on line 177 [02-Dec-2011 17:47:22] PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/bpslk/public_html/cart-checkout.php on line 177 I can fix the code to eliminate the warning, no prob. But why am I NOT seeing this error on my development machine? --Thanks --HarryG I am wondering if there is an easier / better way to keep my development and test databases in synch.
When I develop, I may add tables or fields to existing tables. When I upload from the development server to the test server I can check and make sure that I include all of the programs that I have edited by using the filesystems last modified date. However, I keep track of new and changed tables in MYSQL manually. Is there an easy way, that I am just missing, to see last modified dates for tables within a db? Is there some other strategy I should be using. I hate missing a table and having the test server give errors on code I debugged once on the development server.
