PHP - Reading A Menu From Database Or File?
Where is the best to store the list of categories and menu? Obviously it is better to reduce mysql queries. From a plain list in file, we can create desirable list (menu) from an array. This is quite faster (though SELECT from an indexed table is fast too; but I do know if it is as fast as reading from a php file). Any idea how to code this to create the menu faster ?

Can someone please help me? thanks Hey, I'm trying to work out how I can have a simple script that will work like this: Page 1 - Heading, Paragraph, Image read from database. Page 2 - Has text boxes allowing you to change heading, paragraph and image (url) with each edit using a different text box. (Admin panel) The database connection would be in a separate file. So far I've got the database connection sorted. Code: [Select] <?php //Database Information $dbtype = "mysql"; $db_host = "localhost"; $db_user = ""; $db_pass = ""; $db_name = ""; $db_port = ""; $db_table_prefix = "userCake_"; ?> At the top of each of the other pages this is what I've got. Code: [Select] <?php require_once("models/config.php"); ?> Let's say I give each bit stored in the database a page ID and an object ID. If the page selected is index.php how can we give it a page ID of 1 and give then include all the separate 'objects' throughout the page? Hopefully this makes sense? Cheers, Jack I have a normalized database in the form of Code: [Select] ID user_id key value 1 3 first_name Brian 2 3 last_name Tardy 3 4 first_name John 4 4 last_name Wilson What is the fastest way to capture these values within php? I want to perform a SELECT to catch the values for every user as Code: [Select] $result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users_data WHERE user_id = '$id'"); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { here we process all data for a given user and write it to text file as a single line } Since it is a long list (100K users with about 10M of rows in user_data), I am looking for the fastest and most reliable way to scan all the database. ?> I am trying to use this weeklyReport1Boles.html: Code: [Select] <html> <head> <title>Weekly Report</title> <link rel ="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="sample.css" /> </head> <body> <h1>Weekly Report</h1> <p> <form action = "weeklyReport1Boles.php" method = "post" > <p> <input type = "submit" value = "Display the Report" /> </p> </form> </body> </html> TO PULL data from weeklyDataBoles.txt lines 1-8 1 236.00 2 284.00 3 148.00 4 128.00 5 0.00 6 110.00 7 0.00 8 THE RESULTING WEB PAGE SHOULD BE: Weekly Report TOTAL INCOME FROM PAINT CONTRACTS: $0.00 AVG DAILY INCOME FROM PAINT CONTRACTS: $0.00 NUMBER OF DAYS with NO INCOME: .

It adds their favorite quotes and their names to quotes.txt and prints out their name and their quotes on view_quote.php.

So here is what I have going. #1 - My weather station software processes a file and enters variables and then uploads it as a php file. #2 - Currently the station also just uploads every file to the site and enters the data in the html, but I would rather have it only upload this one file and the other pages grab data from it and print it out. I have a few php scrips in there to preform certain functions (if temp <= 32 it echos that data in blue and so on) but would rather make most of it php so I have less files being uploaded every 5 minutes. This is what the station sends to the web, but I have no idea how to get the other pages to read it and input the variables from it. I'm trying to learn how to code the proper way. There's a few things im worried about,but overall im worried about clogging up the server. so what should i keep in mind while coding, to avoid this? I'm thinking, keep insert and update to a minimum? as in, when possible, use session to keep track of data until i absolutly have to add that data to a database? is that a correct thought? what about once the data is in the database, how much trouble is it to ask for the selected data inside a database? should i be worried about overdoing request of data from databases? on the other hand, should i be worried about having too many sessions travelling around with a user. why? Im just asking to get a better feel for how to do things the proper way, i would hate to have a website built, only to find out that what i built is only a bat, that would bash the hell out of a server i wanted to put it on. function GetStatus(){ $fd=read_file('s_status.sta'); list($perf, $msg, $rest) = explode('\n', $fd, 3); if(isset($perf) && isset($msg)){ return '<p class="status"><img src="/images/sta/'.$perf.'.png" /> $msg</p>'; } else { return ''; } } Hi everyone, Thanks for reading. I'm having a problem with my script, I would love to know why it's just stopping parsing and no errors are getting diplayed when I call this function. I'm using E_ALL, Highly annoying when still no errors come up... When the function is called the page stops parseing, The function returns nothing. The files content does like this: Code: [Select] ERROR This is an error Som other stuff I don't need hence $rest in the explode As you can tell it's a status file I checked the contents and it's all in the right format. Thanks in advance! My user needs me to update the database on their server from data contained in a text file but do not want me to upload the text file to the server but rather read the file from wherever it exists. Across the intranet. Uploading the file means that whomsoever needs to do this update requires write permission to a folder on the server & my user does not want that. Suggestions on how I should solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. BTW My code works fine if I upload the file and do the update in place on the server. Hi, I have this text file with a 123mb size then i ran my simple script to read it and render it via browser $fh = fopen('worldcitiespop.txt',r); while(!feof($fh)) { $content = fgets($fh); echo $content."<br />"; } fclose($fh); I was expecting the 'whole' output via browser but then it didn't show "all" because when I opened the text file via a wordpad, it's really huge.. can you tell me what's wrong with my script ?...( btw, there's no max execution time error at all ) So I have a text file "name.txt" in the text file I have ids and auth keys set up like this 1234564 abcdfhu 3123900 sdkoao etc How could I make it to where the ids are $ids and the auth keys are $auth_keys? I've tried using foreach() but I cant get it hello everyone, please anyone can help me how to read data of excel file in php |
