PHP - Creating A Sitemap Directly From An Sql Database

I'm trying to create a website, that echo's out a bunch of groups, where each group contains a group of checkboxes, containing A value, and a label for the checkbox, the way it is created right now, is foreach that echo's out a bunch of php arrays, which was easier than the static way before - But still, it's static in some way, or not very user friendly at the moment.. My problem is that I really want to write it in a database when I have the option. Is there anyone that can give some tips how to do?

At the moment, my foreach looks like this:

    Code: [Select]
echo '<form method="post" action="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'">';
     
    /* NEXT WE CREATE OUR FOREACH LOOPS TO ECHO THE HTML FOR LOOKS AND CHECKBOXES */
    $totalID=0;  // this is a counter we use to build our check box names
    foreach ($items as $list){
            $totalID++; // add one to the checkbox name counter
            echo "<h2>{$list['title']}</h2>\n";  // and echo out our section header
           
            foreach ($list['items'] as $cbox){  // now for each item in the list, call it $cbox
                                       // $cbox now holds the item name, and point value
                    echo "<label class='checkbox'><input type='checkbox' name='totals[$totalID][]' value='{$cbox[1]}'> {$cbox[0]}</label>\n";
            }
    }
     
    echo "</form>";

And my array is something like this:

    Code: [Select]
$items['computers']['title']='Computer Brand';
    $items['computers']['items'][]=array('Apple iMac',1);
    $items['computers']['items'][]=array('Apple Macbook',.5);
    $items['phones']['title']='Phone Brand';
    $items['phones']['items'][]=array('iPhone',1);
    $items['phones']['items'][]=array('HTC',1);
As said, I can write this, but takes time.
I want to get it into a database, that data above, but I'm having problems about echo'ing it out, I really can't see how I should do.

My current database looks like this:


Thank you!

Okay, I'll make this short and sweet, and all side comments are irrelevant.  I'm doing this for my own happies


So using Facebook.com's API you can extract all of a specific user's friends in an array.  Well I'm making a array check to see who on that users friend list was removed or deleted them that week using array_dif(); in this method:

1) User allows the application
2) Application catches the user's friends_id's in an array and stores them // this is where i'm having trouble, i'll come back to it
3) User then waits a few days and notices their friend count is no longer 400, it's now 399!
4) User logs into my application, and checks the previously uploaded array against their current array of friends.

Okay now to the part i'm struggling with is, what would you do?  Should i store them each uniquely in a database? Because some users have 4,000+ friends and that gets quite strenuous.  OR! Should i save them into a txt file unique to that person's user_id.

I kind of like the 2nd option, however it's less ( to my newbish mind ) customizable versus the sql_queries. 

Once again, i'd like to reiterate, i don't care that this is again Facebooks terms of service, it's for my own personal gain and just enjoy taking on projects in my spare time that force my brain to work hard.

That's all, hope you excuse the typos and poor grammar.  Typed this pretty quickly, any questions - feel free to ask!

Hi.

I'm trying to create my first XML sitemap that I am going to be submitting to google.
The sitemap is going to be PHP but using MOD rewrite to make it look like an XML file.

The site map has been created.  http://test.powtest.co.uk/sitemap.xml
But, I now want to style it.

However, when I add the XML style file, I get an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/a/d/adele/web/public_html/sitemap.php on line 1


I'm not to sure how to get my PHP file to read in the XML style file.

Any help would be much appreciated

I'm wanting to make a sitemap for my website but should I includes ALL possible url's?  For example I have a search page (where you can search a film) where the url syntax is something like "search.php?type=all&film=a+film".  Should I make sure that all possible urls are included in my sitemap e.g all the films in my database?  Hope that makes sense. 

Thanks for any help. 

Greetings,

What I'm trying to do is have users upload their event information into a database which would include a flyer.  I don't want the image file to go into the database (other than the filename) rather I'd like it to be dropped into a directory.  In the same script I'd like to dynamically generate a thumbnail.  I have the two scripts and separately they work fine, but I can't get them to work together.

I'm guessing the conflict because the thumbnail script is using $_POST and the mysql script is using $_SESSION.  If so how can I modify them to both use $_SESSION?

The thumbnail script is goes from line 1 - 146 and the mysql portion is the rest.

The results of processing this look something like this.

QUERY TEXT:
INSERT INTO td_events (eventgenre_sel, eventname, eventvenue, eventdate, eventgenre, eventprice, eventpromoter, eventflyer) VALUES ('12', 'spooky times', 'Ironwood Stage & Grill', '2010-12-17 22:36:00', 'DNB', '5000', 'me', '174366-1.jpg')

First of all I have no idea  how to do this. But I know it can be done. A little help would be alot for me.

Thank you in advance.

So I want to go through a sitemap and visit each of the link on the sitemap and save the URL on to a database.

Example:

Quote

HP 5550N A3 Colour Laser Printer
 

 Konica Minolta PagePro 1350W A4 Mono Laser Printer
 

 HP 9050dn A3 Mono Laser Printer
 

 HP 5550DTN A3 Colour Laser Printer
 

 HP 5550HDN A3 Colour Laser Printer
 

 HP 5550DN A3 Colour Laser Printer


Lets say this was on the sitemap and it just continues with other product like this. I want to write a code where it will go to the first link and saves the product URL on to the database and continues to do the same until the last link. On my example it would be HP 5550DN A3 Colour Laser Printer.

Any help??? Any ideas??

I am not asking someone to write the code for me.. Just need help and good direction   

I'm wanting to make a sitemap for my website but as it's quite big there are a lot of url's I need to include.  I was wondering if anyone know's of a way this can be done using PHP.  e.g. using PHP to generate a list of URL's.  I had a think myself but wasn't sure how to do it. 

Thanks for any help. 

Hi,

I have found a nice little script to write to the xml file for google, but it appears not to be updating the file.

Could someone please let me know what might be wrong as this is the first time I've tried to do this.

Code: [Select]
$dom = new DomDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$dom->load('../sitemap.xml'); // if it's a string, $dom->load($xmlFile) if is a file
// create the new node element
$node = $dom->createElement('url');
// build node
$node->appendChild($dom->createElement('loc', $title));
$node->appendChild($dom->createElement('lastmode', date(Y-m-d)));
$node->appendChild($dom->createElement('changefreq', 'monthly'));
$node->appendChild($dom->createElement('priority', '2'));
// append the child node to the root
$dom->documentElement->appendChild($node);
// get the document as an XML string
$xmlStr = $dom->save();

I was wondering if it was something to do with the [urlset] tag within the xml file I'm using? The xml file is just a standard google sitemap.xml

Any help on this would be great

Cheers

I have a simple php script that updates my sitemap automatically. However, when you click the link to the sitemap at www.bomstudies.com/sitemap-xml.php - the last mod date is showing 1969. The php script works for files that are not in sub folders. such as /talks or /commentary. I just need to know what snippet of code i should add, change, or delete to the sitemap php side of it to show the correct last mod date for my xml sitemap. I greatly appreciate your help.    Thanks -    Here is some of my code:   The Config Code: posted as config.php <?php

From my experience, using Google's sitemap generator to generate a sitemap is not that good. It creates page that you do not want to show up.  I am wondering what the best method is for creating a sitemap of a website so that only certain pages of the website show up on Google?

For the last 2 months I have purchased software and utilized free software to attempt to create a sitemap fro my websites   www.negroartist.com www.africanafrican.com   all of them fail and do not look at all links. i.e. look at a photo album with all the htm in the photo album.   Most of the windows based software do not work and often crash. I want it to index ALL of my site (except images, pdf etc)   Is there any php code, program etc. out there to help me through my dilemna that has instructions for configurabillity? I can also try anything that uses apache etc.   i am at my whits end with this. please help.   has anyone used bing sitemap plugin? how do you install this baby?   my links will total in the hundreds of thousands.   thanks :-)

Hi,

I have some jQuery tabs. I would like to be able to link to them directly, but I can't work out how to do this.

I have the following code:  

<div class="container-outer">

  <div class="container">

    <div id="prod-tabs">

      <ul class="tabs">

        <li class="first_tab"><a href="#tab1">Tab 1</a></li>

        <li><a href="#tab2">Tab 2</a></li>

        <li><a href="#tab3">Tab 3</a></li>

      </ul>

    </div>

    <div class="tab_container">

      <div id="tab1" class="tab_content"> tab 1 </div>

      <div id="tab2" class="tab_content"> tab 2 </div>

      <div id="tab3" class="tab_content"> tab 3 </div>

    </div>

  </div>

</div>

</div>

    How could I link directly to each of the tabs?

Thanks!

I hope someone can help me out with this. What I would like to do is import a text file dircetly to a text area. I can't seem to find any examples on this (Yes I did search Google). I know how to upload but I'm not interested in storing files on the server - but rather just importing them directly to a textarea.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I can upload:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>


I can read:

$myFile = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w')


But I'm not interested in either of these as they are unnecessary steps (or are they?). Is there not a way to simply browse/import a text file directly to a textarea  (or anywhere for that matter) without having to actually save the file to the server?

Something like this:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>



//uploader.php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

        $content = $_POST['"grab the contents of the file"'];
        echo "<textarea>";
        echo $content;
        echo "</textarea>";
}

Hi, im using colorbox(basically like lightbox) for some links on my site. When a user clicks the link it opens this lightbox. But if they type the link into the address bar manually it takes them to the actual page(which isnt formatted properly). Is there a way to open up the lightbox when they enter the address manually? or a work around?

I'm trying to figure out a way to post data directly to a URL. For example:



<?php 
if (isset($_POST["pass"]) && ($_POST["pass"]=="$password")) {

echo "You did it";

?>

<?php 
}
else
{
  echo "<form method=\"post\"><p align=\"left\">";
  echo "<input name=\"pass\" type=\"text\" size=\"25\" maxlength=\"40\"><input value=\"Enter Pass\" type=\"submit\"></form>";
 exit;
} 
?>


Let's assume $password is 'password'. Why can't I simply pass the information through the URL to access the page with something like this:

Code: [Select]
http://mypage.com/the-same-page.php?pass=password
