PHP - Calculate Score Of Test

Hello guys, i need some help in assigning a score to a word according to its occurrence in a group of sentences.
Code: [Select]
[php]
$words="Hello, how are you?";
$sentences="Hello! I am fine. How about you? You look good.";
[/php]
now i'm trying to assign a score to each word in $words e.g Hello=1, how=1, are=0, you=2.

I can't post/contribute in the code repo forum, so I'll post it here and maybe a mod will move it for me?

Anyway, this is an algorithm for phonetic search scoring.  Basically, it will evaluate a search string against an array of strings (list) and then return an array of ranked results from the list, in order of phonetic likeliness to the search string. In the returned array, the key is the score, the closer to 0, the more likely the phonetic match is; 0 being an exact match.

Note: this is not pattern matching, this will match phonetic likeliness only. This is built around the English language as it stands, I am working on multi-lingual considerations.

 * @AUTHOR: Ryan Huff - MyCodeTree.com

 * 
 * The idea here is to supply a list (array) of strings (pressumably from a database
 * record set) and a single string. The class is designed to return an array of results
 * with X number of strings from the list that are the closest or equal phonetic 
 * matches to the single string, ranked in order of closest phonetic match.
 * 
 * The uniqueness of the Phonetic Search Score is the method in which it scores matches. The 
 * scoring is based on the phonetic likeness of the single search string and each string
 * in the list, and is ranked accordingly. Scoring is not based on string length or 
 * pattern matching like traditional REGEX pattern searching.
 * 
 * A practical use for this would be a scenario where a user types in a search string, and
 * then the Phonetic Search Score provides a list of matches, ranked in order of their
 * phonetic likeliness to the search string. In the returned array, the key is the score, 
 * the closer the key\score is to 0, the more likely the phonetic match is; 0 being an 
 * exact match.
 * 
 * An example use case is provided below. If you have any questions about the Phonetic

I'm in the process of creating a webage that shows latest scores and an updated league table for soccer/football matches like the bbc sports website does.

I have the database set up with a form to update and display latest score all work well apart from if i update a score like the following

teamA  1  teamB  0   it updates table to give  teamA 3 points based on the current score however if teamA score again
teamA 2 teamB 0 it updates table again  but gives teamA another 3 points which is not correct so i need a way to stop it happening.

thought about it for a while and only thing i can come up with is some maths to compare the values of score for each team and add/remove points as dependent on current score.


Anyone got something similar to this

I'm new to function and I can't figure how to update/result the score.

I developed a game called Rock, Paper, & Scissors, so I can learn the function itself with a simple game for now.

Any tips or instruction would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi all

I have some code that displays the high scores for a game.

Unfortunately, if a user has more than 1 high score in the table all scores for that user are displayed.

I would like to only display the highest score per user.

My Current Code
Code: [Select]
$sql_query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM `highscores` WHERE `gameID` = '106'  ORDER BY `score` DESC");
//store the SQL query in the result variable
$result = mysql_query($sql_query);
if(mysql_num_rows($result))
{
//output as long as there are still available fields
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
echo ("$row[3] Scored :$row[5] <br>");
}
}
//if no fields exist
else
{
echo "no values in the database";
}
mysql_close($con);
OutPut

User1       300
User1       298
User 2      297
User1       296
User3       295
User2       290


I would like the output to be

User1       300
User 2      297
User3       295

Any help is much appreciated

Hello sir, My name is Soji. I'm working on a php project on result transcript processing. I got to a stage where i need to rank student based on their score (Subject Position) and also Overall Position.

I have tried all i could but i still don't get it

I have a table called Subject position where with field (id, studentregNo, subjectid, levelid, armsid, yearid, total). what i want is if there is 3 student in a class and the first student score 50 in english and the second student score 45 and the third score 40. i want the system to tell me that the first student position in English is 1st and the second student position in English is 2nd and third student position in English is 3rd. So all this will be applicable to all subjects that the students in a particular level are offering.

 

Moreover, I need Rank student in a subject in that class, And this will work with each subject for each student in that class.

I have mysql select query shown below retrieving data from a database:

$sql = "
SELECT 
	student, sum( test_score ) as score
FROM 
	test
INNER JOIN 
	level 
ON 
	test.level_id = level.level_id
GROUP BY 
	student"
$result = $mysqli->query($sql, MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT);
if($result)
{
      while ($row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC))
       {
	    var_dump($row);
       }
}

On inspection of the retrieved array with var_dump(), i have these result below:

array (size=2)
  'John' => string 'English' (length=2)
  'Score' => string '20' (length=3)

array (size=2)
  'Mary' => string 'Math' (length=3)
  'Score' => string '35' (length=3)

array (size=2)
  'Samuel' => string 'Physics' (length=3)
  'Score' => string '5' (length=3)

 How do I get at and print out the highest score from this set of array values within this context.
 I tried this echo max($row['count']) but i understandably got this feedback:
Warning: max(): When only one parameter is given, it must be an array   Thanks.

Hi so i've been learning php for 3 mouth now by reading php 6 Bible and watching lynda and so on... i was looking for a job in few past weeks and i found out i don't have that kind of self confidence to go for it ! you know when they say : PHP Project Manager , it scar's me... the thing is , i know all about basic to medium php , array...MySQL....all those essentials but i don't know what do they want from a php web developer . so i began to search for intern job somewhere and i told myself i should bust my ass 24/7 for few mouth and after that i ll be real php guy and it seems like there is no place to reach not  php but almost all programming languages a year ago i was searching for the same thing but in networking section and there was 100's of intern ship jobs but in programming there is none ! so i want some one to give me (us) simple to pro real life projects . what do they want php junior or senior developer's for ? what do they do? what is the most common needs ? what is the most essential things to know? what is a hired php developer should do in the office? some people doesn't need you in the office and want you to work from home , they give you project's , what's that? is there any source in the web to offer what is need ? i know its too much , but this was my last option , so if anyone can help i would practically owe him/her my whole future salaries...

Hello All happy new year

I am trying to make a php page that detects if something is plugged in to the ethernet port.
This would be complex if not impossible. I however managed to do something similar the device
that will be plugged in has a static address 192.168.1.1. so I created a ping that says if the device is up or
down.

function ping($host, $port, $timeout)
{
  $fP = fSockOpen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
  $status;
 
  if ($fP)
  { echo "Device is ready to accept data";}
  else
  { echo "Device Down - Retrying connection"; }
} 

What I would like to do is have a script that is constantly checking is the device is plugged or when it is not
(so sort of a loop or auto detect). The idea is to have an image with the device up or down.

Regards
and a happy new year

write the algorithm to draw a sphere, the function should have parameters
   1. diameter (how many line)
   2. character (use which character to draw)
   
   eg, draw_sphere(10, '8') will produce:
   
                    88888
                 8888888888888   
               8888888888888888888
              888888888888888888888
                      88888888888888888888888
                88888888888888888888888
              888888888888888888888
               8888888888888888888
                 8888888888888   
                    88888
            
   the above is a sphere of 10 lines, which is drawn using the character "8"


i cant figure out how to do it, thanks in advanved!

I got this script for change language and don't know is it working. In this array are supported language s for this site, so if you come from some of this 7 country should open your language, for others english version. Don't know any other way to test it!

I am trying to select text to display on condition of the current date.
I've set a Unix timestamp for the current date:
<?php
$todays_date = date("Y-m-d"); 
$today = strtotime($todays_date); 
?>
Next I test for the first condition. I want the text to appear for 2 weeks then terminate:
<?php
$exp_date = "2011-05-09"; 
$expiration_date = strtotime($exp_date); 
$start_date = strtotime("-14 days", $expiration_date);
if ($start_date < $today && $expiration_date > $today) { 
echo "<h2>Special Event #1</h2>";
} elseif {

At this point, I want to set the exp_date for the next event and test again, but I don't know how to do it. The techniques I've tried appear to evaluate as false and display the default text which follows the final "else":
} else {
echo "<h2>Default Text</h2>";
}
?>

I have an issue that with some testing on an Access  class with a method getControlAccess it should only return true or false but as soon as I place a string of any sort
into the return my tests always returns true. Any help to point out if it is the way I am testing or the way I have written the method would be great. In the example
below it would return true.


In one class I have this method
Code: [Select]
class Access{
public function getControlAccess(){

return   'I am stuffed';
}
}

In the second class I have this
Code: [Select]
class AccessTests extends Access{
public function controlAccessTest(){
$return = "<ul>";
 
if ($this->getControlAccess() == TRUE){

$return .= "<li>getControlAcess should be true and is returning:<b> ". $this->getControlAccess() ."</b></li>";

} elseif ($this->getControlAccess() == FALSE){

$return .= "<li>getControlAcess should be false and is returning:<b> ". $this->getControlAccess() ."<b></li>";
} else {

$return .= "<li>getControlAcess is really stuffed:<b>". $this->getControlAccess() ."<b></li>";
}

$return .= "</ul>";
return $return;
}

public function setAccessTest($set){
return $set;
}

}

Hey Guys.   Im trying to show if the selected user has had all the required tests they need so they can have a treatment at a hairdressers.  For example the client needs to of had a skin test before they can have their hair dyed.  Im struggling on showing which tests the user still needs to have   Currently I'm working with 3 tables.   The treatmentTest table which stores all the required tests   treatmentTest idtreatmentTest   the user table which has the users details   user iduser   and the usertest table which stores when they had the test and if it has expired (if it has expired is set to 1)   userTest iduser idtreatmentTest expired     so I need this box to pop up with a warning on each test that is still outstanding but I dont want it to show if there are no tests needed. I obviously need to loop through the results of my query but the query its self is confusing me...

  <ul class="list-unstyled">
                     
                        <li>[treatment Name]</li>
                        
                      
                        <li class="text-italic text-muted">Expired [date]</li>
                        
                        <li><a href="#" class="btn btn-success">Update</a></li>
                        
                    </ul>
 

First I tried looping through all the treatments then inside that loop writing the following

 
<?php do {
  //now foreach treatment test get the resulting test from the usertest table
 
 
if (isset($row_testReq['idtreatmentTest'])) {
 $col_userTest = $row_testReq['idtreatmentTest'];
}
 
if (isset($_SESSION['cClient'])) {
 $colname_userTest = $_SESSION['cClient'];
}
 
if (isset($expire)) {
 $colname_userTestExpire = '1';
}
 
mysql_select_db($database_dbconnect, $dbconnect);
$query_userTest = sprintf("SELECT * FROM userTest WHERE idtreatmentTest = %s AND iduser = %s AND  userTestExpire=%s",
GetSQLValueString($col_userTest, "int"),
GetSQLValueString($colname_userTest, "int"),
GetSQLValueString($colname_userTestExpire, "text"));
$userTest = mysql_query($query_userTest, $dbconnect) or die(mysql_error());
$row_userTest = mysql_fetch_assoc($userTest);
$totalRows_userTest = mysql_num_rows($userTest);
   ?>
            <li class="list-group-item">
              <div class="col-sm-2"><i class="fa fa-2x fa-close text-danger"></i></div>
              <div class="col-sm-9">
               <ul class="list-unstyled">
                     <?php if($totalRows_userTest>0){?>
                        <li><?php echo $row_testReq['treatmentTestName'];?></li>
                        
                      
                        <li class="text-italic text-muted">Expired <?php echo $fn->sqlShowDate($row_userTest['userTestExpire']); ?></li>
                        
                        <li><a href="client-treat-test.php?i=<?php echo $row_testReq['idtreatmentTest'];?>&t=<?php echo $row_testReq['treatmentTestToken'];?>" class="btn btn-success">Update</a></li>
                       <?php } ?>

                    </ul>                                  </div>               <div class="clearfix"></div>               </li>              <?php } while ($row_testReq = mysql_fetch_assoc($testReq)); ?>                       this doesnt work properly at all. It gave me all the treatments that have expired but if a new treatmenttest was added it wouldnt display that there was a test required.     Does anybody know a different way?  I also tried getting all the treatments then all the rows in the userTest table then comparing what the differences where but I struggle with arrays comparisons and im not even sure that was the best way to go about it.  Am I going to need two queries? One like the loop above and one that looks for expired treatments and one that looks for treatments the user hasn't had or can this be done in one and if so how??

Hello,
Having trouble inserting plain text to the output of this php. The code below outputs categories in the database which pertain to certain products in this manner,

cat1, cat2, cat3, cat4, cat5 etc.

What I want to add is the text "Fits These Products" this to the output,

Fits These Products
cat1, cat2, cat3, cat4, cat5 etc
