PHP - Echo Functions Reverse Order

Hello fellow php friends, Im having abit of trouble trying to echo out a statement at certain times of the day.
for example
how would you echo out 'Good Morning' between the times of 01am to 11.59am
then echo out 'Good afternoon' between times of 12pm and 6pm and so on.

Please  help!!!!!

Hello, all:

I have been having these odd display stuff when I'm either trying to display or call functions or definitions. Seems like they work best when ALWAYS using echo to call them, though they also work without it??  So, what gives? when or how should I use them??? Should Definitions or Functions always be used along with ECHO?? as you can see slightly confused... 

EXAMPLE:
// Why does this line work??? note, see here I'm using echo several times in order to display right)
 <?php   if(RIGHT_COLUMN_WIDTH != '0') { echo "<td valign='top' width='" . RIGHT_COLUMN_WIDTH . "px'>"; echo categories(); echo "</td>";} ?>

// But this one doesnt display just right?? Note: see echo not used when categories() function is called, but isnt it still being called by first echo??
<?php   if(RIGHT_COLUMN_WIDTH != '0') { echo "<td valign='top' width='" . RIGHT_COLUMN_WIDTH . "px'>" . categories() . "</td>";} ?>

Hi, starting at a given node, I want to be able to build a pathway from that current node all the way to the root node.

Let's say I have this email.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<email>
 <message>
  <to>
   <toFirstName>Bob</toFirstName>
   <toLastName type="common">Smith</toLastName>
  </to>
 </message>
</email>

Here is my script which btw is infinite loop:
Code: [Select]
<?php
$doc=new DOMDocument();
$doc->load("email.xml");
$pathway=array();
$dom1=$doc->getElementsByTagName("toLastName")->item(0);
while(!$dom1->documentElement->nodeName) {
$pathway[]=$dom1->nodeName."/".$dom1->parentNode->nodeName."/";
$strPathway=implode("",$pathway);
print $strPathway;
}
?>
The output I want is in this format:
email/message/to/toLastName (I will figure out how to use rsort since in the while loop it appends as: toLastName/to/message/email

Any help much appreciated!

I have an array with dates as the key and then an integer for the value. So something like this

Quote

Array
(
    [6/2/2011] => 4
    [6/1/2011] => 3
    [6/4/2011] => 3
    [6/3/2011] => 2
    [6/6/2011] => 4
)


I'm trying to write a function that finds the highest value with max(); and then looks at the keys that have the highest value and then returns an array with the key as the most recent date and the value as the highest value. So in this case this function would return

Quote

Array
(

    [6/6/2011] => 4

)


does anybody have any suggestions on how i can accomplish this?

Hi all

I have an SQL database that holds dates in this format: yymmdd example: 110824

I am echoing the value:

Code: [Select]
<?php echo $showdata['date']; ?>

How do I reverse the string so it shows 240811 ?

Cheers
Pete

Hi all, Need help in solving this task using PHP built in function : array_reverse() and without it. Appreciate it in explaining the code as I'm completely a newbie. 

function reverseArray($Arr) {
		
	 }
	 $fruits = ["Mango","Strawberry","Bananas","Pineapple"];
	 $result = reverseArray($fruits);

Many thanks, 

 

Hi,
My site was recently "hacked" in the sense that Google was made to crawl a rogue page and came to believe it was the original site. This caused a catastrophic decline in Google position and decline in traffic.

In researching the issue, it seemed that the solution was to install a forward-confirmed reverse DNS on the site.

Yet I've found little information on how to actually implement this.

I'm working on a code example I found, but I'm unsure exactly how to apply this even assuming I can get it to work.

For those interested in this issue  the original site is www.tickerfind.com , the duplicate site is www.handj.net. If you Google "tickerfind.com" you can get the cache, and from this you can see that Google thinks the site is found at handj.net.

One of the puzzling things about the sample code (http://smbrown.wordpress.com/2009/04/29/verify-googlebot-forward-reverse-dns/) is that it appears to be determining whether the bot is "good" or "bad", yet I thought the issue was not the bot itself but where it was retrieving the pages to scan. Somehow I thought it would be a "prevention of redirection" type code.

So first, I suppose my question is: Am I on the right track. And if so then I can dig into the code. But I'd certainly need to understand why it works.

Thanks,
Jeff

I posted this on stackoverflow, but no one wanted to touch it.   http://stackoverflow...rse-new-entries   I've tried array_push, but the results remain as SimpleXML, and not a plain array, which I wasn't able to use.  I tried some other things that I can't remember.

$feed_url = 'http://feeds.feedburner.com/SlickdealsnetFP?format=xml';
$contents = file_get_contents($feed_url);
$x = new SimpleXMLElement($contents);

$arrayFPTitle=array();

foreach($x->channel->item as $temp){
	array_push($arrayFPTitle, $temp->title);
}

Have any suggestions?... I've been on this problem for a few hours, now. I even tried regex, but you can imagine I quickly realized I wasn't going to figure that out.

Hi all,


I have a MySQL table with the field 'number'.
When I SELECT * from that field, I get a return for the rows of 'number' in the order 1, 2, 3, 4, etc...
 

SELECT * FROM products;

Is there a way where I can get a return in the reverse order, so highest to lowest (4, 3, 2, 1, etc...)?

OK, have no idea what's going on... I've done this a million times... why wont this output!??
I must have a major brain meltdown and dont know it yet!!!

Code: [Select]
<?php

// this echoes just fine:
echo $_POST['testfield'];


// but this wont echo:
echo 
if (isset($_POST['testfield']))
{
$_POST['testfield'] = $test;
}
echo $test;


/// or even this DOESNT echo either!:
$_POST['testfield'] = $test;
echo $test;

?>

I have a script I am putting together that simulate a cricket game. The only issue is, that there are a huge number of functions because there doesn't seem to be any other way to do this properly. As well as this, there a while() loop and all this seems to be leading to the page reaching a max 30 second timeout when generating the result.

My code is attached below, it is quite messy at the moment because i've just be working on it, but I was wondering if anyone has any solutions of how I can speed this up or change to prevent a timeout:

Hi All,

I'm trying to echo the response from an SLA query, the query works and returns the data when I test it on an SQL application.. but when I run it on my webpage it won't echo the result.

Please help?

<?php   
$mysqli = mysqli_connect("removed", "removed", "removed", "removed");  
$sql = "SELECT posts.message FROM posts INNER JOIN threads ON posts.pid=threads.firstpost WHERE threads.firstpost='1'";  
$result = mysqli_query($mysqli, $sql);   
echo {$result['message']}; 
?>

I've got.

I teaching myself php, but I am coming from java and other compiled languages, so the process has been a little bumpy. I am trying to do something like this:

Code: [Select]
class my_class
{

  function one ()
  {
     $two = two ();

     $three = three ();

     $five = $two + $three;

     return $five;
  }

  function two ()
  {
     $two = 2;

    return $two;
  }
 
  function three ()
  {
     $three = 3;

     return $three;
  }
}


Unfortunately, I keep getting an error message saying that my call to two () is an undefined function. I am gathering from this that the scope of one () is not aware of the existence of two (). Is there a way to get around this so I can call two () and three () from one ()?
