PHP - Could Somone Tell Me Which Method Is Correct?
Ok, this is more about the method as apposed to the code but obviously related. Im currently doing it one way not sure if its the best option or not, so just need advising.
I have a project where by I have multiple servers around the uk, (basic computer configured as a webhost). Each have a mysql database which holds data collected every minute. (its not alot of data, 3 rows, each a few values) Then I have a one central server here with me which has my web application hosted where the user can visit the webpage hosted on the central server and look at data from any one of the databases scattered around uk. The way in which im currently doing this is having the remote basic servers that collect data open port 3303 which allows me to directly access the SQL database from the central server, but I have a feeling thats not really how it should be done, plus it leaves an open database port available, or is it ok to do it this way? The reason I did it like this was so all code is managed here on the central server, all it is doing is collecting data directly from the servers as and when. The other option I can think of is to have a php file sit on each server that simply requests the data and saves them into an array. This file can then be INCLUDED into the webpage on the central server? So when the user logs on and wants to look at a certain servers data, it will include the remote php file which collects the data locally? This though does mean if i want to make any changes to the whole thing, I would need to somhow change all the php files that reside around the uk on the servers, not a huge deal as I can just remotly take over the servers and thansfer new files but more work nonetherless. The other way I thought would be similer to above, except dont INCLUDE it, but have the remote php file post back the data from a request. I am litterally not sure which is correct, or if it matters? Or if there are better ways Hope you help. Thanks Andy Similar Tutorials$ error = trim( strip_tags($_GET['error']) ); VS $strip_error = strip_tags($_GET['error']) ; $trim_error = trim($strip_error);Which method is correct way? Also I am first striping and trimming is it wright way. could you please advice me. Thank you Edited by thilakan, 16 October 2014 - 05:50 AM. Hi Everybody. I hope someone here can advise the correct method for storing html/text in a MySQL DB AND retrieving it for updating via a <textarea> Basically, I need to store in my DB knowlege base articles, which have a title, category, product version/edition, description, solution, notes, etc... standard KB fields.. sorta... The issue I am experiencing, or the trouble I am having, is when I need to store both formatting HTML and output HTML in the solution or notes fields, html special chars are being interpreted and the HTML that should be displayed is not there. The char codes are interpreted and the browser then "hides" the HTML tags. For example, the solution may be this: Code: [Select] Find the following line: <serverURL>URL</serverURL> Change the URL to reflect your current server URL. The html chars are interpreted and changed to the actual less than and greater than signs rather than their &...; form (ie: < >   etc.) Some code snippets if it helps... Creating a record: Code: [Select] ... $sol = addslashes($_POST['asol']); $notes = addslashes($_POST['anotes']); include('./conf/connect.php'); mysql_query("INSERT INTO `faq_kb`.`articles` (`id`, `solution`, `notes`, `updated`) VALUES (NULL, '$sol', '$notes', NULL) ") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_close($conn); ... Retrieving a record: Code: [Select] ... include('./connect.php'); $get = $_GET['a']; $sql = "SELECT * FROM articles WHERE id='$get'"; $result = mysql_query($sql); mysql_close($conn); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $solution = $row['solution']; $notes = $row['notes']; } ... <h4>Solution:</h4> <div align="right"><textarea name="rsol" style="width:550px;height:150px;"> <?php echo $solution; ?> </textarea></div> <h4>Notes:</h4> <div align="right"><textarea name="rnotes" style="width:550px;height:150px;"> <?php echo $notes; ?> </textarea></div> ... Updating a record: Code: [Select] ... $aid = $_POST['id']; $sol = addslashes($_POST['rsol']); $notes = addslashes($_POST['rnotes']); include('./conf/connect.php'); mysql_query("UPDATE `faq_kb`.`articles` SET solution='$sol', notes='$notes' WHERE id='$aid'") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_close($conn); ... I guess, you can ignore my whole spiel above and simply answer this question: what function do I need to use to encode the variable for inserting into the database, and what function do I then need to use to decode the variable for output so that it retains it's formatting html and my output/displayed html (< >)??? Thanks guys! I hope that this makes sense... ------------------------ Further Example: This is what is output (inside the dashes): ---------------------------- To configure your SysAid Server logging to debug mode please do the following.

Code: [Select] if ($pZone = "admin"){ $Atemp = Templates::find_adminTemp($atID); $ATname = $Atemp->name; include(TEMP.DS.$ATname.DS.'layouts'.DS.$layout); }else if($pZone = "public"){ $Ptemp = Templates::find_publicTemp($ptID); echo $PTname = $Ptemp->name; include(TEMP.DS.$PTname.DS.'layouts'.DS.$layout); } i only get 1 header but the public template does not work template this is because if i echo out Code: [Select] echo $PTname = $Ptemp->name; i get nothing so. how can i code it so that if the page is an admin page i get the admin template and if the page is a public page i get the public template thanks ricky Hi, Im pretty much self taught when it comes to php, never read any books just picked things up as i go, and im looking for some advice on how i build my pages as i believe im not approaching it correctly. Basically i build an index.php, this contains my header, footer, and any menus i may have, then for my content pages, in this case products, contact, about us i use use an include so these content pages just have content. Now by doing this my address bar looks like this index.php?location=contact.php for the sake of google and search results and so on, am i limiting my ability to be found by not using a differant file for each page? should i include a header, footer, menu etc within my content pages rather than the other way around? Thanks in advance for any advice. Hello everyone, I am new to php and I need a confirmation if this is the correct approach for a code I wrote. Basically, I have a contacts.php page where I have a bootstrap table and a modal with some fields to add a new contact. I managed to write all the code, it works perfect but I want to know if this approach is ok. The application will be much more complex and I don;t want to start on the wrong foot here. I have 2 files: contacts.php and add_new_contact.php. First file, contacts.php:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
<!-- ............ -->
</head>
<body>
<!-- ............ here is the page layout-->
<!-- Then I have my modal from bootstrap -->
<div class="modal fade" id="addContact" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
<form action = "add_new_contact.php" method="post">
<!-- .....content with all the inputs -->
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save to database</button>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Now, in form action I am telling html to go to add_new_contact.php where I wrote the code for inserting all the values to the database. When doing this, it opens the page and it stays blank because there is no html there. So, in that php file I added a redirect code to the initial contacts.php. Here is the code: Second file: add_new_contact.php:
<?php
//all the code needed to insert the contact in the database
header("Location: http//..../contacts.php");
exit();
?>
So, this works fine. But is this the best way to do it? Thank you. Hi,
I have upgraded my server from PHP 5.3.3 to version 5.5 and I'm now having a few problems with some code.
This line gives a fatal error of:
Call to undefined function session_is_registered()
if (session_is_registered("isAuthenticated") && ($_SESSION ['isAuthenticated'] = "loggedIn"))
It appears this is depreciated? How can I solve this?
What is the correct way to use the backslash here? I am using an ftp script and retrieving the brand directory name through url. I want to catch it if they try to use \ in the url to list all directories. Code: [Select] elseif($_GET[f]=="\") { echo "You have entered an invalid vendor."; $_SESSION['brand_path'] = "INVALID"; } Good Morning, I am literally just starting out with php but wanted to clarify whether I should be creating .php files or .html files. I have found a page which states: "For Windows or IIS servers - You do not have an .htaccess file. Windows IIS servers also cannot run php on html pages. Your only option for windows IIS servers is to use .shtml or .php pages with the php option from the reader." Is this correct and does this mean that I should always err on the side of caution and use .php files instead of .html file? Thanks in advance, Mark Hello all, I'm trying to write a joomla page that will import LinkShare banners into the banner component. The problem I'm having is that LinkShare doesn't seem to always have the correct image size listed. If I use their dimensions, the images come out skewed and bad looking. So I'm trying to use getimagesize, to get the real dimensions, and it's still not working. Please take a look, and let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks I have using gmdate() to get the GMT time but as it does not take in to account daylight saving the time is one hour behind. Does anyone have a fix that can work out the correct time what ever time of year it is? As I am currently having to change the code each time the time changes. |
