PHP - A Novice Web Owner Needs Help With Ajusting This Script & Testing.
Hi,
I am new to this forum and I came here because I am a website owner that is a novice in php coding and I want to adjust the coding my web designer created, because I want to update my auto email when members sign up to my site. I found my signup.php page and found the secton where the contents of the auto email are housed but I have no way (or atleast I don't know the way) to test my coding adjustments without going through the signup process on my site and I don't want to do that multiple times just to check code, so I decided to see if I could ask the questions here and maybe someone can "eyeball" my coding adjustments and ensure that they work OR maybe you can instruct me how I can test my code. Keep in mind, this is not an actual page on my site, it's the auto email when users signup. It's sent from my signup.php page once the signup button is "clicked".
1. I'll provide a snippet of the code my webdesigner setup and that should work fine
2. I'll provide my changes to the email contents (basically text, image and html links).
Hopefully there is someone who can assist. Thanks A BILLION!!!

Below is the original code from my webmaster, shouldn't be anything wrong with this code. (You'll notice the links aren't html text links, I wanted to change that)

We've barely done any script writing yet and I can't seem to figure out how to go about doing it. He wants us to modify the existing script so that it generates a random number from 1 - 1000 and then counts the number of guesses and outputs how many guesses at the end. It won't open in the browser so I'm not sure what's wrong. Any help would be much appreciated!
This is what I have so far:

I would like to ask that :-
1. what is the best way to / or how to best test a multi-user login script.
2. The best way to test a multi user website that saves data from the users into a database.
Are there any tools that can hep me in testing my work locally on a localhost before I move them out to a website. ?
I have heard that testing routines can be written for such purposes to automate the testing. If so where should I begin to look for them? I have no idea at all about writing test routines / scripts. A tutorial , if any exists, would be a good place to start.
Thanks very much.
I am trying to create a file, then give it to the linux user 'templates'. I can create it, chmod it to 777, but can't change the owner from apache. If I do: chown("/home/templates/file.php", "templates"); I get an operation not permitted error. If I do: shell_exec("chown -R templates /home/templates/file.php"); I don't get an error, but it also doesn't work. Guessing this is some kind of stupid security thing - anyway around it? Right now I'm just setting everything to 777 =/ I am using apache web server on linux. I am using PHP for web designing. On web server, i want to show the configuration data by reading the ini file. I am creating this ini file from one php code itself. If this php code i run through linux terminal, the file is created with file and group owner as root.(i am having sudo rights on machine) Then if i try to read the ini file from my apache web server, it gives warning as failed to open stream: permission denied. I have tried changing the owner, and permissions to 777 of the file. Still it is not readable.
On the other hand, if i run the php code of ini file creation through web server, ini file is created with file and group owner as apche. and web server is able to read/ write the file.
But i want to create that file from root or some other user and later read/written by apache.
How to give this access permission?
Hi everyone, I hope you can help me. I am working on a Website at present whereby I am advertising the number of available tickets left for an event. However, I now want to remove this feature from the site, but because I myself did not code the site initially, I'm not sure what part of the code needs to be removed. I have included a copy of the code below: Code: [Select] $venues = $conn->dbAll($query); $conn->dbClose(); if (count($venues) == 0) { echo "<div class='error'>There are no more tickets available to buy</div>"; } else { echo " <form method='post' action='summary.php'>"; $venuecount = 0; foreach ($venues as $v) { echo "<div class='venue'> <div class='match_date'><b>Match Date:</b> " . date(ymd, $v['m_date']) . "</div> <h2>" . escape($v['venue_name']) . "</h2> <div class='venue_address'>" . nl2br(escape($v['venue_address'])) . "</div> [color=red][b]<div class='tickets_container'> <div class='tickets'>" . ($v['tickets_left'] < 30 ? "<span class='tickets_low'>" . escape($v['tickets_left']) . "</span>" : "" . escape($v['tickets_left']) . "") . " tickets left to buy for this match</div>";[/b][/color] if ($v['tickets_left'] > 0) { echo " <div class='tickets_buy'> <input type='hidden' name='venue[]' value='" . escape($v['id']) .

Many thanks in advance, BB2011 Hello, I have written a PHP upload script.. all is well, so far... apart from the moving of the file at the very end of the script. Here's my script.. <? /* This script handles the uploading of a users photos to the display screen slideshows. 1. Collects data from uploaded image 2.

Thanks in Advance, George. P.S I have CHMOD'd all directories to 755 where required. Hi, I'm Drew.
I'm a web developer, primarily on the WordPress platform.
I'm not a proficient PHP programmer but I can and have edited lots of PHP code to improve my sites. So, in a way, I'm learning PHP...the hard way.
As probably is the case with most users, I'm here becuase I'd like help with some code and because I want to fasttrack my PHP education.
I'll get to that eventually, this is just me introducing myself to the community.
Best regards.
I am a web designer/PHP hack trying to solve a problem for our HR department. We have a quarterly newsletter in a Wordpress site I developed and they want to have a dynamically updated service anniversary page updated through excel. The solution to this problem is clearly fgetcsv, but I'm having trouble understanding how to implement it within the wordpress page. Here is a really nice function from the php manual page Code: [Select] <?php function csv_file_to_mysql_table($source_file, $target_table, $max_line_length=10000) { if (($handle = fopen("$source_file", "r")) !== FALSE) { $columns = fgetcsv($handle, $max_line_length, ","); foreach ($columns as &$column) { $column = str_replace(".","",$column); } $insert_query_prefix = "INSERT INTO $target_table (".join(",",$columns).")\nVALUES"; while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, $max_line_length, ",")) !== FALSE) { while (count($data)<count($columns)) array_push($data, NULL); $query = "$insert_query_prefix (".join(",",quote_all_array($data)).");"; mysql_query($query); } fclose($handle); } } function quote_all_array($values) { foreach ($values as $key=>$value) if (is_array($value)) $values[$key] = quote_all_array($value); else $values[$key] = quote_all($value); return $values; } function quote_all($value) { if (is_null($value)) return "NULL"; $value = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($value) . "'"; return $value; } ?> But this leaves me with a few questions: 1. is this both function AND query? or do i need extra code to run the function and spit out the results? 2. where do i input my actual values? 3. does this have to mirror a mysql table somewhere else? i feel like i'm missing a crucial piece of info here. the path to the csv file needs to be absolute, due to HR needing to manage the file themselves without the help of yours truly. the intended output will look like this: 5 YEARS FirstName1 LastName1, FirstName2 LastName2, FirstName3 LastName3, etc 6 YEARS FirstName1 LastName1, FirstName2 LastName2, FirstName3 LastName3, etc and so on. so in addition to the FirstName, LastName and Year columns, the loop will need to include a conditional statement. something like: Code: [Select] <h1>5 YEAR</h1> <ul> <?php if (quote_all_array(5) ) : ?> echo "<li>(FirstName, LastName), </li>"; <?php endif; ?> </ul> <h1>6 YEAR</h1> <ul> <?php if (quote_all_array(6) ) : ?> echo "<li>(FirstName, LastName), </li>"; <?php endif; ?> </ul> I'm sure my syntax is horribly wrong because I have virtually no idea what I'm doing. Which is why I'm asking you all for help to help my understanding i'll supply a set of variables: CSV Source: http://resource.mysite.com/anny.csv Table Columns: FirstName, LastName, Year External MySql database (should it apply): AnnySql Thanks in advance for any help. I'm over my pay grade on this one. I'm using this code to get me the variables to a select box on a register page: $vars['user-birthdate-years'] = array(_VARS_USER_CHOOSE_ => "Please choose", _VARS_USER_NONE_ => _VARS_USER_UNDEF_); for ($i = date('Y') - 18; $i > date('Y') - 75; --$i) { $vars['user-birthdate-years'][$i] = "$i"; } This gives me this result in the page source: <select name="birthyear" class="date"><option value="-2" selected="selected">Please choose</option><option value="1997">1997</option><option value="1996">1996</option><option value="1995">1995</option><option value="1994">1994</option><option value="1993">1993</option><option value="1992">1992</option><option value="1991">1991</option><option value="1990">1990</option><option value="1989">1989</option><option value="1988">1988</option><option value="1987">1987</option><option value="1986">1986</option><option value="1985">1985</option><option value="1982">1982</option><option value="1981">1981</option><option value="1980">1980</option><option value="1979">1979</option><option value="1978">1978</option><option value="1977">1977</option><option value="1976">1976</option><option value="1975">1975</option><option value="1974">1974</option><option value="1973">1973</option><option value="1972">1972</option><option value="1971">1971</option><option value="1970">1970</option><option value="1969">1969</option><option value="1968">1968</option><option value="1967">1967</option><option value="1966">1966</option><option value="1965">1965</option><option value="1964">1964</option><option value="1963">1963</option><option value="1962">1962</option><option value="1961">1961</option><option value="1960">1960</option><option value="1959">1959</option><option value="1958">1958</option><option value="1957">1957</option><option value="1956">1956</option><option value="1955">1955</option><option value="1954">1954</option><option value="1953">1953</option><option value="1952">1952</option><option value="1951">1951</option><option value="1950">1950</option><option value="1949">1949</option><option value="1948">1948</option><option value="1947">1947</option><option value="1946">1946</option><option value="1945">1945</option><option value="1944">1944</option><option value="1943">1943</option><option value="1942">1942</option><option value="1941">1941</option></select> Problem: When running the php code at the top it miss two years in the span as you see in the page source below, the year 1983 and 1984 is completely missing in the page source.

Edited by Drezzzer, 12 January 2015 - 05:16 AM. Struggling with creating the following: I'm trying to read in a file which is essentially a csv. (I have a couple of books and am a n00b faffing with sessions/cookies etc and am trying to set up an app for a local forum I'm involved with...) I originally tried fgetcsv and also reading the file in line by line (via fgets/explode) and for the most part it works. However some of the entries have a '<' character within them and whenever the script hits a line with one of these it screws up and truncates the line. I presume the '<' is attempting to redirect the data somewhere(?), but have found no way of being able to read this in whole as of yet and I dont really want to resort to processing each line character by character... An example line would be: 3p!<ph4il,Fabulous Diamond Eyes,Lizzies,Div 3C I welcome some advice to put me out of my misery on the matter This topic has been moved to PHP Applications. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=352939.0 Hi All,

Hi, I have a class XMLtool where one of the functions is to output a parameter-passed dom document and then output to the browser screen, so basically: function outputXML($domDocument) { if has attributes print cur nodes attributes for each child, if child is element node outputXML(cur node) else if child is text print text end for each } Please I am not sure what type of unit tests I can perform. I'd appreciate all the help! Just wanted some general advice/guidance, I know there are plenty of articles and tutorials online about unit testing, but I just wanted to get a first hand perspective off of some of you guys... What are some real world examples of actual PHP Unit Testing? Also any unit testing frameworks you can recommend? Apologies if this has been covered before. Can someone give me a simple socket script that I can copy and paste. It can return anything you like. I just want to make sure I have a working socket connection, and if not then you can maybe help me fix it. Hi. I am trying to test to see if a particular record id (int) is included in array. This is the code I am using $sql2 = "SELECT `id` FROM `orderitems` WHERE `orderid` = '" . $orderid . "'"; $orderlist = mysql_query($sql2) or trigger_error(mysql_error() . '<br />Query was:' . $sql2); $orderarray = array(); while ($orderitem = mysql_fetch_array($orderlist)); ( $orderarray[] = $orderitem['id']; ) $prodid=$row['prodid']; if (in_array($prodid, $orderarray)) { echo "<td> In.</td>"; } else { echo "<td> Out.</td>"; } Every case is outputting "Out" even though some should pass. I have verified that the variables are outputting the correct thing, but am not sure about the array. I am just a beginner, so i am hoping there is something really obvious I am doing wrong. Thanks for reading this. Hello all, I have a script uploading files on the server. I would like to send a confirmation to user if the file had been uploaded well. Code: [Select] $targetFile = str_replace('//','/',$targetPath) . $filename; move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile); if (str_replace($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'],'',$targetFile)) { mail($to, 'upload notification', "Dear Mr/Mrs $fixedname, the file entitled $filename has been successfully uploaded"); }else { mail($to, ' upload notification', "Dear Mr/Mrs $fixedname, the file entitled $filename has been NOT uploaded"); } I presume I do something wrong because it doesn't work. The successfull email is sent each time. Thank you very much for helping, Eric I have a part of my code that requires php 5.3+ how can I test to see if the user has 5.3 or greater? At first I thought this would be a good idea, but then I realized that it isn't such as a version: 5.2.10 (not sure if that is an actual version or not). if((int)preg_replace("/\./", "", phpversion()) >= 530){ // Allow functionality } using my code, using 5.2.10 it would allow it, but it shouldn't because it isn't larger than 5.3. what can I do? |
