Hey
i want to make category pages with php. so i have embeded youtube videos on my website and i want to make a category so that every embeded link that is named under that category goes on the new web page i am making. so lets say i have a category in my table that is called "Call of duty black ops" would the code be something like this ? ( and yes i want it to be ordered by date aswell ) Code: [Select] $query = "SELECT * FROM `G4V_Videos`.`Category`.`Call of duty black ops` ORDER BY `Date added` DESC LIMIT 24"; $result = mysql_query($query); thanks guys! Similar TutorialsHi, if I want to sepcify certain elements to a category: <?php if (category_id == 3) { ?>Content for that paticular category.<?php } ?> How would I set it for the pages within the category? - I can do it like so: <?php if (category_id == 3 || page_id == 4 || page_id == 5) { ?>Content for that paticular category.<?php } ?> But that means everytime I add a new page within that category I would have to manually add the new page_id to the list. Is there a way to write it so it can display category_id and all pages within? Any help would be great, thanks. Paul Okay so my news script is set to view only 10 pieces of news.

THANKS PLEASE HELP ricky When login in (in login.php), the script is assigning user information to scalar variables like so: $user_name = $assoc['user_name']; $user_id = $assoc['user_id']; Now I'd like to make use of those variables on other pages like this for example: echo "Posted by " . $user_name; I want that to be visible for everybody, even if the user logs out. Any ideas? Hi, I want to create a simple online buying site. I have an admin site with login where admin can add items to the database table, and change other fields such as price and description of product and I want to make a public html page to display the updates made in my admin page. I appreciate it if someone give me some suggestions on how to get started. My admin php scripts is working fine (so SQL queries for UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT) but I don't know how to 'sync' it with the an nice html table of products the user can checkbox off to purchase on the public website. Let me know, thanks. I have the following result that I am getting from a source. Code: [Select] SimpleXMLElement Object ( [CategoryID] => 1 [Name] => Other [Order] => 0 [link] => http://www.link.com?sub=1 ) SimpleXMLElement Object ( [CategoryID] => 1233916011 [Name] => ceramic [Order] => 1 [ChildCategory] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [CategoryID] => 1234016011 [Name] => dish [Order] => 1 ) [link] => http://www.link.com?sub=13476 ) SimpleXMLElement Object ( [CategoryID] => 1233917011 [Name] => laminate [Order] => 2 [link] => http://www.link.com?sub=98247 ) I need to get it into a database with the following structure Code: [Select] id categoryID cName cOrder clink cparent By using Code: [Select] foreach($this->resp->Store->CustomCategories->CustomCategory as $cat) { $sub = $cat->CategoryID; $ord = $cat->Order; $linkto = "$stlink?fsub=$fsub"; $nm = htmlspecialchars($cat->Name); $par=$cat->ChildCategory->Order; $query = "INSERT INTO Cat (categoryID,cName,cOrder,clink,cparent) VALUES ('$sub','$nm','$ord','$linkto','$par')"; $result = @mysql_query ($query); // Run the query. } I can get Code: [Select] id categoryID cName cOrder clink cparent 1 1 Other 0 http://www.link.com?sub=1 0 2 1233916011 ceramic 1 http://www.link.com?sub=13476 0 2 1233917011 laminate 2 http://www.link.com?sub=98247 0 But I need to get the ChildCategory in there w/ cparent like Code: [Select] id categoryID cName cOrder clink cparent 1 1 Other 0 http://www.link.com?sub=1 0 2 1233916011 ceramic 1 http://www.link.com?sub=13476 0 3 1234016011 dish 1 1 <--- like this 4 1233917011 laminate 2 http://www.link.com?sub=98247 0 any help appreciated... So I am having some difficulties with a category system. I want my code to search the database an unlimited amount of times to the very last directory and then display it in tree view on my screen. I'm having some trouble because I am having to specify how many depths the code will search. How can I get it to do this on it's own? Currently my code does this...
<?php
// Establish SQL Connection.
$mysqli = mysqli_connect( $sql['host'], $sql['user'], $sql['pass'], $sql['db'] ) or die( "DARN");
$query = $mysqli->query( "SELECT * FROM folders ORDER BY name ASC" );
$num_rows = $query->num_rows;
echo "Found <b>" . $num_rows . "</b> row(s) in the database!<br>";
while ( $row = mysqli_fetch_array( $query ) )
{
// DO NOT REMOVE
$id = $row['id'];
$name = $row['name'];
$parent = $row['parent'];
/***************************************************************************************************/
if ( $parent == 0 )
{
echo $id . " " . $name . " " . $parent . "<br>";
$query2 = $mysqli->query( "SELECT * FROM folders WHERE parent = " . $id . " ORDER BY name ASC" );
while ( $row2 = mysqli_fetch_array( $query2 ) )
{
echo " " . $row2['name'] . "<br>";
}
}
}
?>
I know it's messy, doing the best I can.
DB looks a little like this...
+----+---------+--------+Hope I am in the right area. I am working on a project which is sort of a business directory. I have a category table, a sub-category table then the actual account table. So a user clicks on the category, then selects the sub-category to view information of accounts in that category, and then be able to click to see the full profile. Here's where I am getting stuck. A user may be listed in more than one sub. As an example, let's say a parent is Cars, then subs might be New, Used, Parts, etc. Now a particular user might be listed under all three subs. How can I link them? I have my cat/sub linked via parent/child id's. However, how can I get the user to be linked to multiple subs? Would I need to create a separate table to do similar to parent/child of the categories? If so, then how would I insert the multiple id's into the table? I assume at this point that I would use drop downs for the subs. I am having a real hard time wrapping my head around this so any help is greatly appreciated. An array of "categories" is given:
$categories = array(
array("id" => 1, "title" => "Pants", "children" => array(
array("id" => 2,
"title" => "Boots",
"children" => array(
array("id" => 3, "title" => "Leather"),
array("id" => 4, "title" => "Textile"),
),
),
array("id" => 5, "title" => "Sneakers"),
),
),
array(
"id" => 6,
"title" => "Sort",
"children" => array(
array(
"id" => 7,
"title" => "Balls",
),
),
),
);
I need to write a function searchCategory ($categories, $id) that returns the name of the category by the category ID. Hey there, so as a personal project, I've been working on creating a forum software. You can check out what I have so far he https://www.taziamoma.com/Forum/index.php What I'm currently having trouble with right now is connecting a Category with a forum with the threads inside of it. For example, I have a Category that has 3 forums attached to it. How do I link that in the database and how do I indicate which threads belongs to which forums? I need some help with the category part on a old project . The problem what I have at this moment that, when I click on the category all categories are showing up on the category.php page itself. What whI wanne have when I click Uncategorised that in the category.php page only post are showing that have been made in Uncategorised category

I am stuck on a small part of it where is shows users a list of the listings they have put in the directory. Below is the code that generates the table that shows the list of listings which is pulled from the 'listings' table in my database. Code: [Select] <?php ### List of listings user has posted ### if(isset($_SESSION['userlogged'])) { $user_id = $_SESSION['userlogged']; $sqlCommand = "SELECT listing_id, cat_id, listing_title, listing_date, showing FROM listings WHERE showing='0' AND user_id='$user_id' ORDER BY listing_id ASC"; $query = mysql_query($sqlCommand,$con) or die (mysql_error()); $ListingDisplay = ''; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $listing_id = $row["listing_id"]; $cat_id = $row['cat_id']; if ($cat_id == '1') { $cat_name = "Carpenters"; } if ($cat_id == '2') { $cat_name = "Stone Masons"; } if ($cat_id == '3') { $cat_name = "Plumbers"; } if ($cat_id == '4') { $cat_name = "Landscapers"; } $listing_title = $row["listing_title"]; $listing_date = $row["listing_date"]; $ListingDisplay .= ' <tr class="listingaccount"> <td><a href="edit_listing.php?lid=' . $listing_id .

But what I'd like to do now is keep the H1 blog title on all pages including home page, but I'd like to ammend the title with the addition of the post category, as follows; currently shows "Top Rated Gadgets" on all pages. would like it to show "Top Rated (category name)" when viewing a single post. So if the category of the post was Asus Laptops it would show "Top Rated Asus Laptops" instead of the usual "Top Rated Gadgets" The closest I have got to it so far is with Code: [Select] <?php the_category(', '); ?> but this returns a hyperlink ! Is there any method I can use that will simply return the category name as plain text..? Any help would be much appreciated Thanks |
