PHP - <?php Include(" Question

in the hard code this text  is not anywhere to be seen. HOWEVER. the final result prints this text before every php include..

the site is www.matt-cardle.co.uk ive noticed it only does it on pages after the landing page..

so www.matt-cardle.co.uk DOESNT SHOW
but www.matt-cardle.co.uk/Home [and any other page] DOES SHOW

the unclude i am using is like this for all page: "<?php include '../includes/ads2.php'; ?>"

and text before and after this for example is..:
<table style="width: 55%; height: 84px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="right">
<tr>
<td style="height: 23px" class="style9"><?php include '../includes/ads2.php'; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>

I have a file called "inc_records.php" which outputs data from a mysql query.  It has the following code in it. 


$content = "<p>" . $record_array['first_name'] . "</p>";
$content .= "<p>" . $record_array['last_name . "</p>";


I am going to use this code everytime I need to display that data.  I want to save the $content variable as another variable.  For example. 

$_SESSION['content'] = include("includes/inc_records.php");

However this isn't working so what is the best way to do it?  Thanks for any help. 

I really new to php and this has me baffled, I have seen it done before and just cant figure it out.

I have a box in my left column that looks like this



I have two includes to go in that div one is named todo.php and the other is change.php

how do I go about switching only the includes within that dive tag when the ToDo and Change buttons are pressed?

Thanx

I'm a very new PHP user (as in, I just started today) and need to make a set of navigation buttons which will take the user to "next" or "previous" pages. I assume that the $_GET function is involved, but I don't know how to do it.

It needs to work like this:

If the URL looks like "http://website.com/page1.php"

I need the "next" button (a href image) to change it to "/page2.php", and while on page 2, for the "previous" button to take the user to "/page1.php" and so forth. How can I cause the page number to increment or decrease respective to the href image being clicked?

Hello everyone.  I'm having a problem with what should be a fairly simple login system that is included on the index page of my site.  Basically, it is set up to display a short form so that the user can enter his/her email address and password to log in.  If there is a mistake with the email/password, it displays the same form with a notification that there was an incorrect email or password.  The problem that I'm having is that when the wrong email/password is entered, the page goes to the next step of notifying the user of the incorrect information but it does not display the rest of the page that it is included on.  What is happening is when the user arrives at the site it displays the index.php page, which is currently a blank page with some simple text, and the included page mentioned above.  When an incorrect email/password is entered, instead of staying on the index page and displaying the included page with the login form, the user is redirected away from the index page to the included page only.

Here's my code for "head.inc.php":

Code: [Select]

<?php
include("conf.inc.php"); // Includes the db and form info.
session_start(); // Starts the session.
if ($_SESSION['logged'] == 1) { // User is already logged in.
    $_SESSION['email'] = $email;
    header("Location: main.php"); // Goes to main page.
    exit(); // Stops the rest of the script.
} else {
    if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) { // If the form HAS NOT been submitted.
        echo "<form name=\"form\" action=\"head1.inc.php\" method=\"POST\" style=\"margin-bottom:0;\">";
        echo "<a href=\"signup.php\" class=\"bluelink\">Sign Me Up!</a> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;";

        echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\"> &nbsp; &nbsp;";
        echo "</form>";
    } else {    // If the form HAS been submitted
        $email = form($_POST['email']);
        $pword = md5($_POST['pword']); // Lightly encrypts the password.
        
        $q = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `signin` WHERE email = '$email' AND pword = '$pword'") or die (mysql_error()); // mySQL query
        $r = mysql_num_rows($q); // Checks to see if anything is in the db. 
        
        if (!$r) { // There is something in the db. The username/password match up.
        
            echo "<form name=\"form\" action=\"head1.inc.php\" method=\"POST\" style=\"margin-bottom:0;\">";
            echo "<a href=\"signup.php\" class=\"bluelink\">Sign Me Up!</a> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;";

            echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\"> &nbsp; &nbsp;";
            echo "</form>";
            
        } else {      // If the username/password is invalid
        
            $_SESSION['logged'] = 1; // Sets the session.
            $_SESSION['email'] = $email;
            header("Location: main.php"); // Goes to main page.
            exit(); // Stops the rest of the script.

        }
    }
}
?>


Here's the code for "index.php":

Code: [Select]

<?php

include("head.inc.php");

echo "This is the index page";

?>


Any ideas on how to stop the redirection from the index page when the incorrect info is entered?

Can someone please help me with an array problem i can not figure out.

I need the array to be numbered from 1 to how ever many fields that are needed in the form and have a mysql field name and the title of the field also in the array.

1, "mysql_field_name", "Title of form field"
2, "", ""

and so on

then the form will be shown based on the array.

I have the following draft code which I am working with.

any suggestions on how i may do this array ?

Code: [Select]
<?php
$options = array(
'1'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option1', 'mysqlfield'=>'option1'),
'2'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option2', 'mysqlfield'=>'option2'),
'3'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option3', 'mysqlfield'=>'option3'),
'4'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option4', 'mysqlfield'=>'option4'),
);


// $options = array(1 => "option1", "option2", "option3", "option4");

// the line above works but i want to include the name of the mysql field as well.

$userid = 1;

?>
<div style="align: center; margin: 12px; font-family:Tahoma;">
<br><br><?php
if ($_POST['Update'] != "Update") { // check if form submitted yet, if not get data from mysql.
$res = db_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `userid` = '" . $userid . "'");
foreach($options as $key => $value) { $_POST[$key] = mysql_result($res, 0, $value); }
$ok_to_update = "no";
} elseif ($_POST['Update'] == "Update") { // check if form submitted yet, if so get POST data.
// error checking
// foreach($options as $key => $value) {

// }
$ok_to_update = "yes";
}

if ($_POST['Update'] == "Update" && $ok_to_update == "yes") {
// $res = db_query("INSERT INTO `users` () VALUES ()"); // add user details to database.
?><p><br><br><br>Thank you for updating</p><?php
} else {

basically i want to be able to include a file.. in other files within  folders.

i have a universal include which holds my template etc and i have a include in there which mess's up when being called by a file inside a folder...

now i know usually you can just use.

include("../file.php");

or you can define the entire url of the included file.. but i was wondering if there was another way?

Just a quick question about including php files on a page...

Let's say I have my index page that is a fully functioning page with all the <html>, <body>, and <head> tags where they should be.  Now I want to include another file, which also has <html>, <body>, and <head> tags.  Would this cause any problems or is it ok to include the second file as is?

Hey guys,

I'm new to PHP and I'm currently teaching myself. I'm looking over some code and I'm confused when to use "." inside of code. Can someone please explain to me?

Here's some example code I read from a book:

<?php
$counter = 1;
while ($counter <= 12) {
      echo $counter." times 2 is ".($counter * 2). "<br />"
      $counter++;
}
?>

Thanks!

Any help is much appreciated in advance...

I have a master file located along the root path that needs to be included in subdomains.  Inside the master file are includes like Code: [Select]
<?php include("../bodyCopy/anyfile.php"); ?> that need to reference the /bodyCopy directory IN THE SUBDOMAIN and NOT along the root.

The problem that I'm having is that the master file resides OUTSIDE of the subdomain on the root (in a '/bodyCopy' directory.

How do I write the PHP include so that files included in a subdomain from outside of the subdomain (on root) search directories INSIDE the subdomain and NOT relative to the root path?

Here's what I mean.

I have this file sitting on the root:  /home/xxxx/public_html/constructfiles/filetoinclude.php

It needs to be included he   /home/xxxx/public_html/SUBDOMAIN/publicfile.php

Then, 'filetoinclude.php' needs to include other files that are he   /home/xxxx/public_html/SUBDOMAIN/bodyCopy/otherfilestoinclude.php

...but, 'filetoinclude.php' is searching along the root path for '/home/xxxx/public_html/bodyCopy/otherfilestoinclude.php' (which does not exist), and NOT within the SUBDOMAIN for the '/home/xxxx/public_html/SUBDOMAIN/bodyCopy/otherfilestoinclude.php' like I need it to.

It appears that PHP will only search along the root path of the included file and NOT the root path of the file in which an include is included.

I'm confusing myself now, but I hope someone can help.

Thanks,

Jet

Hi

I'm in a need of help here, I need to inluded this: "http://site.com/products.php?do=groups&groupid=2"    in a a tpl file. 

Any way that this can be done?

an example would be greatly appreciate it.

cheers

Hi All:
I have general question on php...

 if I have an "includes" folder, and on IE somebody goes directly to it, like:
http://www.site.com/includes
on IE, they can see the folder-tree- directory. So, files like config.php, or mysql.php could be visible.
My question is, is this safe?? couldnt people then just drag-copy the file over into their system? or somehow open it, view its contents?
I dragged-copied a .php file into my desktop, but nothing shows up when I open in in notepad. As opposed to opening another file that was also .php but which only had javascript code in it, and the javascipt did show up.
So, I take it, it should be ok?? as it seems like it works as if the .php page actually had been loaded on a web-browser... doesnt show the php code...

well, appreciate comments, feedback on this...
what woudl be the best way to protect files like this? htaccess-protect? or is this not something to be overly concerned about??
From what I can tell looks like a lot of site are setup this way... so must be ok... ha?

Thanks!

I'm a little confused with the use of absolute paths in PHP.  I've always used relative paths but it's becoming an issue with some of the apps I'm working with and absolute would solve the problem.

The thing is, I'm getting different results in different places and I'm a little confused.

With regular HTML I seem to be able to use / as the root of my site.  So if I do the following...

Code: [Select]
<img src="/images/name.jpg" />
That works fine no matter what page it's called from in the site and no matter what directory that page is in.  I need to be able to do that same thing with PHP.

Now, in my custom 404 page I have the following...

Code: [Select]
if($AddressURL == 'http://www.domain.com/blog/files/filename.zip')
{
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: /download/filename.zip');
exit();
}

That actually works just fine. If I go to the /blog/files/filename.zip (which doesn't exist) in a web browser it winds up downloading the file at www.domain.com/download/filename.zip as expected. 

Now where I get confused is that include files don't seem to work like that with PHP.  If I do this...

Code: [Select]
require_once('/includes/config.php');

That winds up looking for an /includes folder all the way back at the local server root, not just the web root.  so it's looking for /var/includes instead of /var/www/includes and of course that doesn't end up working.

So, how come the include file paths work differently than regular HTML paths or header redirects in PHP?  Is there any simple way I can always refer to the SITE root no matter what server it's running from?  I've tried playing with $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] but it only seems to return the root of the current document, not the root of the whole site.  So if I use it within a php file located in /var/www/includes/test.php it considers /includes the root which is not what I want.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read through this first and foremost. I have a bit of code that I have managed to piece together with help from other sites and what it does is connect to our local ms sql server and retrieve a few tables from our database. The info is relating to property management and it basically displays the unit address, current date and its rental status. (Occupied or Vacant)

This makes it easy for us to at a glance check the status of our rentals instead of having to log into our software and navigate through all that.. anyways, I have two issues I need help with.

First problem, in my code, is it possible to write a conditional statement that would check for a certain status in a view and then if it is there, print a simple yes or no in a table with that appropriate property.

For example, we have property 1000 name street and it is currently vacant, however the viewPendingLease shows us information regarding future bookings. I would like to be able to look through that view with the code, check property 1000 name street for any future pending leases, and if there is one, print out a "Yes" in a Future Booked column that I would create.

If any of that makes sense, I can post the print out of the tables of the viewPendingLease if it makes it easier for anyone to see the data output to understand what I am meaning.

The second issue, is it possible to change the color of the text according to a variable, say a word in a generated table with html or css? I would like to color the words vacant or occupied green and red respectively just to make it much easier to zero in on the vacant properties. Or even maybe just color every other row a background color just to help distinguish between the different properties.

Here is my code that pulls up my current tables to show Property, Street and current rented status.

Code: [Select]
<?php 

//connect to a DSN "*******" 
$conn = odbc_connect('*******','*****','************'); 

if ($conn) 
{ 
//the SQL statement that will query the database 
$query = "Select unit.PropertyUnitID, unit.Street, unit.Status, from unit";
//perform the query 
$result=odbc_exec($conn, $query); 

echo "<table border=\"1\"><tr>"; 

//print field name 
$colName = odbc_num_fields($result); 
for ($j=1; $j<= $colName; $j++) 
{ 
echo "<th>"; 
echo odbc_field_name ($result, $j ); 
echo "</th>"; 
} 

//fetch tha data from the database 
while(odbc_fetch_row($result)) 
{ 
echo "<tr>"; 
for($i=1;$i<=odbc_num_fields($result);$i++) 
{ 
echo "<td>"; 
echo odbc_result($result,$i); 
echo "</td>"; 
} 
echo "</tr>"; 
} 

echo "</td> </tr>"; 
echo "</table >"; 

//close the connection 
odbc_close ($conn); 
} 
else echo "odbc not connected"; 
?>

I currently have the viewPendingLease.Active (which shows if there is a future pending lease) taken out due to a repeating data issue I am also trying to figure out...

I have a table where a filed called "recruitment" can either be "0" or "1"  Why does my below code not work?

Code: [Select]
$sql_rec = ("SELECT * FROM teams WHERE team_id=".$_GET['t']." ");
$rsrec = mysql_fetch_array($sql_rec);
if($rsrec['recruitment'] == 1){
echo "Your team is <b>OPEN</b> for all members to join <br>
<a href='changemode0.php?t=".$_GET['t']."&r=".$_GET['r']." '>(click here to change mod)</a>";}
elseif($rsrec['recruitment'] == 0){
echo "Your team is <b>CLOSED</b> for all members to join <br>
<a href='changemode1.php?t=".$_GET['t']."&r=".$_GET['r']." '>(click here to change mod)</a>";}
to ask in another way: how do I make the if statement to check if the value is "1" or "0"?
