Hey guys so I am making an App website and somehow need to make a developer section. So like developers can come and setup their app name,description etc. Then be able to program there own app and use like an API service to get the user username etc. So what would I need to let developers do a such thing like let them make an API key and all that is there some tutorial to make such service. (This will be an important feature to my website so please help, thanks)

Hi php freaks

I've been learning php, but what confuses me are the arrays.
I have ini file, i want to get the data from file and add it to the database. Every section makes a new table and all they keys are added with their values. I figured out how to get the keys and how to see the values, but how can i get the name of the sections. Furthermore, how do i know what keys belong to what section.

I am really grateful for person who helps me to realize how to be a good friend with those complicated arrays.

Can i open a pdf within a page? e.g. within <td> or <table> of htmls so that it appears on a section of a page where someone can just read through and still able to browse the web page. I dont want the PDF downloading or taking the whole page or even opening a new window and filling it.

Thanks in advance.

I would love to add a comment section to my music blogging site. Does anyone have some simple code that they would not mind sending me? or at least helping me with this situation?

Hello.
Well I haven't any code for this, but its only a question.
Do you think it would be possible for PHP, to make and image or draw one from just a blank JPG.
Then placing text on the image.

That is possible and quite simple.
But do you think it is possible to say.
Say if you have 3 different set of texts on the image.
Click here for 1
Click here for 2
Click here for 3

And also for the script to link those text to different web addresses.
But all still workable with a dynamic signature EG [ img ] [ / img ]

Basically its a dynamic signature with links on it is what i am trying to say.
Do you think its possible? Or am I thinking to big.

Hi!

I'd like to echo a text section from pageB.php to pageA.php

Is it possible to mark it up somehow and tell the browser to echo the variable?
I'm thinking something like this should work after some alteration:


pageA:
<?php echo pageb.php/variable; ?>


pageB:

<?php
$variable =


***the content section I want to be displayed on pageA***

";
?>



I'd be very grateful if someone could help me out. (:

Hi, first of all I am trying to do a section hidden from guests on a website. I have groups for each user (groups_admin, _mod, _member etc.)   I have it so ADMIN only view content at the moment, but not sure how to add GROUPS_MOD & GROUPS_MEMBER:

<?php echo $user_data['group_id'] == GROUPS_ADMIN ? 'content' : ''; ?>

Secondly, where the content section is, I have HTML placed inside it which works fine, but it also has some PHP code.   How would I get it so the php code works? This is what I have...

<?php echo $user_data['group_id'] == GROUPS_ADMIN ? '<form method="post" action="<?php echo get_url(\'/products/\', $product[\'category_id\'], $product[\'product_id\'], $product[\'product_name\']); ?>?action=review">' : ''; ?>

As you can see the form action line has a php url to generate the relevant link for a specific product.   If anyone has any suggestions or can help in any way that would be much appreictaed.   Cheers,   Paul

I don't even really know how to title it. I have this piece of code, i wrote. it works with wordpress api but honestly i don't think that matters much.
what it does, is pick $ci number of categories, and then picks 2 posts from each category. it then assigns the image in/attached to that post to an array, to be used later.

this all works fine, the problem is when it picks a post that doesn't have an image. right now, it can't tell that. writing in a bit to be able to tell whether there is an image or not should be easy. i'm thinking it can be as basic as file_exists or as complicated as parsing the post. the part i have the problem with - is how do i make it go back and pick another post/category when it comes up short? more than once? i want it to keep going back until it comes up with an image.

i'd rather not expand the search any farther than necessary

Code: [Select]
<?php
if ( false === ( $scroller = get_transient( $stransient ) ) ) {
if (!is_array($scroller) || count($scroller)==0) {
$args = array( 'type' => 'post', 'parent' => 18, 'exclude' => 63, 149, 278, 62 );
$companies = get_categories( $args );
while (count($companies) > $ci){unset($companies[array_rand($companies)]);}
shuffle($companies);$truckco= array();
foreach ($companies as $company){
$argus = array('numberposts' => 2, 'orderby' => 'rand', 'post_type' => 'post', 'category' => $company->cat_ID );
$listings = get_posts($argus);
foreach($listings as $tn=>$post) {
$truckco[$company->slug]['truck_'. $tn]['image'] = get_the_image( array( 'image_scan' => true, 'format' => 'array', 'width' => '172', 'height' => '129' ) );
$truckco[$company->slug]['truck_'. $tn]['pid'] = $post->ID;
}
}
?>

thank you

I'm working on the following assignment and keep coming up with error messages.  

"Warning: require(mysqli_connect_registrar.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/students/r/b.richards/public_html/cis231/labs/sectionresults.php on line 3

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'mysqli_connect_registrar.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /home/students/r/b.richards/public_html/cis231/labs/sectionresults.php on line 3"

I've included the code I have and any help would be appreciated.  

Thank you.

Assignment Directions:

Introduction

This lab will demonstrate how to create a dynamic form that is created from database contents. And then that form will be used to pull results from the database, based on the user's selection.

 

STEP 1 - Create the Database Connection File

In your labs directory, define a mysql_connect.php file for the registrar database (with the student | student credentials).

 

STEP 2 - Create the Form

Define the form as sectionsearch.php. Create a dynamic form with a drop-down menu listing available courses by title. (Note: the courseID will be the value that is posted to the results page.)

 

Step 3 - Create the Results page

Define the results page as sectionresults.php. Present the results of the query for sections (unless there are none—then show an appropriate message).

If there are results, use an HTML table (dynamically-generated) to display available sections with the following information:

Faculty last name

Room number

Class meeting day(s)

Start time

End time

The information should be sorted by the faculty member's last name.

Note: You will need to consult the structure of the database tables to determine which fields need to be drawn from which tables and how to join the appropriate tables needed for the query.

Hi,

I have some queries that update some statistics in a table I have. I need these queries to run only after 15 seconds have passed however. This way if the user leaves before the 15 seconds, the queries won't run. I've tried using Sleep, however it seems to just stop all the code all together for the allotted time. There must be a way to do this.

Hey everyone!

Thanks for taking the time to help. I have two files..a membership area and a commenting section. I am fairly new at these subjects but I am a quick learner. First off, I need help figuring out why my "register.php" in the members area file isn't working properly, everything looks to be ok but maybe I have been working on this too long. Quite frankly I can't check and see if all of the other scripts are correct because I can't get past the "register.php". So if you all wouldn't mind helping me out on this part, I would greatly appreciate it

Secondly, I have a commenting section and in the "demo.php", there is a warning that appears as follows: "Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-5.3.8.1\www\comments\demo.php on line 17
" If someone could tell me what is missing or help me figure out what to do in simple terms, I would greatly appreciate that as well.

Thanks!
Gene

help pls.

Hello, I am hoping to get some help with this. I want to apologize in advance as I am not a developer more of a systems admin guy. Okay guys, here is the deal. My boss has a website, which uses from my understanding Wordpress for design, but also uses PHP. Since, I am not too familiar with the general uses of PHP, I cannot explain why they are doing it that way. The website also uses MYSQL, which I would imagine works with PHP to gather data from some back end server.    The website has five tabs on the top right corner    about   services  resources   contact us   login   When you hover over these five tabs they expand and show more menus. The tab with the issue is the services tab. When you hover over it, it works as anticipated; it expands and shows our services. Upon getting on there, there are a bunch of services, which you can click on. When you first click, it works as anticipated. However, if you try to click on another service within that category, it simply does not load the page. Now if you decide to go into a different service it works, but once you try to click on another services within x category it just does not work.   I would really appreciate everyone's help on this. It would be nice to get this resolve.    I can provide you guys with the website and php scripts and codes if need be.   This is the website    http://beta.morrowco.com/     Thanks, Jeff M
