PHP - Bandwith Calculation Based On Text, Content, Number Of Users, Scrolling Etc...
I don't have a lot of money and I'm launching a high traffic website, I intend to have a payment system linked to hosting service I am using so that in the event that my website is actually successful, it can expand accordingly.
I want to know ahead of time about bandwith usage, I have a 3TB limit per month which may seem like a lot but what if thousands of users are accessing/using files that are between 2 to 10 MB each? Uploading, viewing, scrolling, text...
This calculation also applies to storage
I haven't really given this much thought, I'm just curious, I have a lot to do and I would like to start amassing information ahead of time
Thank you for any help
Similar TutorialsHi, I have a web site that sells both video and images. The full versions are located securely behind a paywall, however in a bid to get visitors to purchase them and to promote the members offering I have trailer videos of 30 seconds to one minute and four free images per imageset. I want to be able to restrict the number of images a visitor can view for free to 12 and the number of videos a visitor can play to 5. With a little graphic/overlay notifying the user when they have exceeded their free play/preview limit. I have been advised that a tracking cookie and php if statement would be the way to go to achieve this. I have got a cookie that is successfully logging views that is written to on a free preview link as an onclick function. I have tried writing some php if code that will have the normal thumbnail or video divs display as usual if the views recorded in the cookie are below 12 or five, respectively, and have a not allowed, please subscribe div that would show over the thumbnails or video divs should the number of views exceed the threshold. My PHP code does not seem to be working at all, I have ran it through an online syntax checker - corrected the mistakes and now it's supposed to be working but opts to display nothing instead of either if argument. Videos then become a whole other problem because at the moment I have no other way to track the view/visit other than to count the loading of the video summary page with the free player as the preview, whether or not the clip is played - ideally I would like the view to be counted when the video begins to play. But I have no idea how to write to the cookie from Flash (is that even possible?) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hello
I am trying to work out how many regular users I have to my site and how long those users tend to be users..
So, I have a table that logs every time a user visits my site and logs in, it stores the date / time as a unix timestamp and it logs their user id.
I started by getting the id's of any user who logs in more than 5 times in a specified period, but now I want to extend that...
SELECT userID as user, count(userID) as logins FROM login_history where timestamp > UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2014-06-01 00:00:00') and timestamp < UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2014-07-01 00:00:00') group by user having logins > 5;
These are the specs that come to mind, CPU, RAM, Storage, Bandwith
My question is this, once you know what the point of a website is, whether it is to host videos, design something with an editor, ecommerce, if I ask a costumer "How many people do you expect to be on your site?"
Is that a fair question? Or is that arbitrary or even rhetorical like "Duh... the maximum count"
I want to know based on what is being accessed whether it is the photos displayed on page, character count, flash / javascript, whatever... how can I estimate?

I want to offer my site visitors the opportunity to use some of my content on their sites. For example, a Quote of the Day or This Date in History snippet that they can place on their site. I want to host and manage the content on my site and allow the visitors to syndicate it on their sites easily. The key word here is "easily". I don't want to do this through RSS, which can be tricky for entry-level webmasters and bloggers. I want to be able to offer a line of code, say in Javascript, that the visitor can copy and paste into their site (Wordpress widget etc.) and have my content appear there. Does anyone have any starting points for how to do this? I have several years of experience with PHPP, MySQL, CSS, HTML, etc., but I don't want to re-invent the wheel. I've done something similar in JSP, but not using PHP. Hi there, I have updated a webpage and it appears that some users are still seeing the older version of the page. Is there a way I can force the user's version of the page to display the latest content on the page? I have see I can add some meta tags which control the cache, but my site relies quite heavily on cookies, so I guess clearing the cache would reset/have an effect on the cookies? Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make users always see the latest content? Thanks! Ok so I basically have two textfields and a submit button. The first text field basically allows the user to input a duration of an event in the format of Hours:Minutes:Seconds such as: 02:30:00 is two and a half hours. The second textfield allows the user to put in an average time 'something' does something in the same format as above. So for example 00:20:00 is 20 minutes. 1st Textfield: Code: [Select] <input name="tmarrtextfield" type="text" class="textbox" id="tmarrtextfield" value="00:00:00"> 2nd Textfield: Code: [Select] <input name="tmatttextfield" type="text" class="textbox" id="tmatttextfield" value="00:00:00"> What I need is for when the form is submitted to the same page.. the code to...: 1. Convert the normal text info into actual time data. 2. Divide the duration by the average timing so for example: 02:30:00 (150 minutes) / 00:20:00 (20 minutes) = 7.5 (Would return a rounded down number or up, doesn't matter) then store the number as a variable that will be echoed later. Harry. Hi, I need to write some code for this but unsure where to start. Basically i have a database of say 10 rows. I need to be able to input a number and some sort of fair algorithm will choose one of the rows. The number will be from 6 to 10 numbers long, and will need to pick the same result each time based on that number.

This topic has been moved to PHP Regex. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=317036.0 I have a mysql table which will store users email addresses (each is unique and is the primary field) and a timestamp. I have added another column called `'unique_code' (varchar(64), utf8_unicode_ci)`. What I would very much appreciate assistance with is; a) Generating a 5 digit alphanumeric code, ie: 5ABH6 b) Check all rows the 'unique_code' column to ensure it is unique, otherwise re-generate and check again c) Insert the uniquely generated 5 digit alphanumeric code into `'unique_code'` column, corresponding to the email address just entered. d) display the code on screen.

Its like a search kind of implementation in the website. I don't know what the user selects, he may choose different select boxes, any number of select boxes. So, based upon the user selection, I need to generate the data. The data fields to be generated would be almost same. So, How would I know what the user selection is and how many select boxes has been selected and how could I generate different data based upon selected boxes. I had to make a small note abt this, that the data generation fields may change for some of the user select combinations, but most of the result fields would be same. so, can you please help me out, how to do, how to make different combination data generations, because, i had 8 fields, i had to make 8! combinations, that would result in a big code. What I'm trying to do is get a php file with content to load into my basic page template based on the page id, however it's not loading anything, however there are no errors coming up. I've looked everywhere I could find, and tried everything I could think of. I really could use some help on this. Below is the page template code and the code I'm trying to use to get the content to load up. page_templ.php Code: [Select] <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" > <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="templates/content/style.css" > <!--This is the css used for IE because we need to correct some things for it.--> <!--[if IE]> <style type="text/css"> @import 'templates/content/styleIE.css'; </style> <![endif]--> </head> <body> <?php //We need to load our language files with our common text varibles require("content/langeng.php"); ?> <div id="header"> <? //Lets show the header.

Working on a site with a couple hundred virtually identical landing pages to maximize SEO. Rather than hard code the pages, I am wondering if there is a way to have one page that handles all the url's and dynamically codes and loads with title, keywords, content & alt tags all specific to the particular url requested. Seems like the challenge is doing it in a way that does not constitute a redirect. Is it better to do this in the .htaccess? Hai..
currently i am developing client dashboard using php/mysql.Here is my problem i need to create a tab named as notes.Using this tab the logged in users can add a new note or edit his existing note and save as text file.. Hi Folks, This is my first post here and I was wondering if anyone could help me out at all please. I would basically like to change the logo on the home page based on whether a query string from a referring URL has a specific value. It's an affiliate URL for an online store, so essentially I need to get the referrer, check if the query string adnetwork = as and then replace the logo if it does, if not leave it as it is. Does that make sense? Any help would very much appreciated. I was thinking along the lines of: <?php if ($_GET('adnetwork') == 'as') { changeLogo(); } else { leaveLogo(); } ?> Am I along the right lines folks? I'm getting the dreaded " Invalid parameter number: number of bound variables does not match number of tokens" error and I've looked at this for days. Here is what my table looks like:
| id | int(4) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | user_id | int(4) | NO | | NULL | | | recipient | varchar(30) | NO | | NULL | | | subject | varchar(25) | YES | | NULL | | | cc_email | varchar(30) | YES | | NULL | | | reply | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | | | location | varchar(50) | YES | | NULL | | | stationery | varchar(40) | YES | | NULL | | | ink_color | varchar(12) | YES | | NULL | | | fontchosen | varchar(30) | YES | | NULL | | | message | varchar(500) | NO | | NULL | | | attachment | varchar(40) | YES | | NULL | | | messageDate | datetime | YES | | NULL |Here are my params:
$params = array(
':user_id' => $userid,
':recipient' => $this->message_vars['recipient'],
':subject' => $this->message_vars['subject'],
':cc_email' => $this->message_vars['cc_email'],
':reply' => $this->message_vars['reply'],
':location' => $this->message_vars['location'],
':stationery' => $this->message_vars['stationery'],
':ink_color' => $this->message_vars['ink_color'],
':fontchosen' => $this->message_vars['fontchosen'],
':message' => $messageInput,
':attachment' => $this->message_vars['attachment'],
':messageDate' => $date );
Here is my sql:
$sql = "INSERT INTO messages (user_id,recipient, subject, cc_email, reply, location,stationery, ink_color, fontchosen, message,attachment) VALUES( $userid, :recipient, :subject, :cc_email, :reply, :location, :stationery, :ink_color, :fontchosen, $messageInput, :attachment, $date);";
And lastly, here is how I am calling it:
$dbh = parent::$dbh;
$dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING);
if (empty($dbh)) return false;
$stmt = $dbh->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute($params) or die(print_r($stmt->errorInfo(), true));
if (!$stmt) { print_r($dbh->errorInfo()); }
I know my userid is valid and and the date is set above (I've echo'd these out to make sure). Since the id is auto_increment, I do not put that in my sql (though I've tried that too), nor in my params (tried that too). What am I missing? I feel certain it is something small, but I have spent days checking commas, semi-colons and spelling. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
