PHP - Multilanguage Site Question

I wrote this basic script yesterday to process and generate a Google Site Map. And it works! BUT I want to advance this script to accommodate for something else and I don't know the correct path to take from here, but I will tell you what I've found out so far..

Current Situation:

1 - Currently my below script generates urls in the site map like:
http://abcdefg.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=29826

2 - I have .htaccess configured to rewrite the urls to the products name data like:
http://abcdefg.com/pennies/wheat-pennies/lincoln-wheat-penny-cent.html (just an example) and these urls are ONLY active if clicking on the site links themselves - meaning if I enter: http://abcdefg.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=29826 directly into the url, the url does not resolve to this natural friendly url name.

What Id like to achieve (which I don't know what direction I should be looking!):

- I'd like my xml output urls (as current) to be written in the natural format (as in #2 above).

FYI here is a current example output item in my sitemap:

Code: [Select]
<url>
  <loc>http://abcdefg.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&amp;product_id=29803</loc>
  <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
  <lastmod>2010-09-24T08:00:00+04:00</lastmod>
 </url>
Can anyone give me some guidance on what method might work for this? Do you think it's more a mod_rewrite issue? Or can this be handled easier with straight up modifications to my below? I'm just a bit confused on what direction I should be looking.. Thanks for any input.

<?php
header("Content-Type: text/xml;charset=iso-8859-1");
  echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">';
 //include('config.local.php');
  $cxn = mysqli_connect($config['db_host'], $config['db_user'], $config['db_password'], $config['db_name']);
  $query = "SELECT cscart_product_descriptions.product_id, cscart_products.product_id, cscart_products.timestamp
FROM cscart_product_descriptions JOIN cscart_products ON cscart_product_descriptions.product_id = cscart_products.product_id
WHERE cscart_products.status='A' LIMIT 10000";
  $result = mysqli_query($cxn, $query);
  $row = mysqli_fetch_array($result);
  while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
  $formatedTime = $row['timestamp'];
      echo '<url>
  <loc>http://abcdefg.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&amp;product_id=' . $row['product_id'] . '</loc>
  <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
  <lastmod>'. date('c',$formatedTime) .'</lastmod>
  </url>';
  } //while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
  echo '</urlset>';
?>

In one of my pages I have a section which contains a hidden line of text. When the user clicks a button the box containing the text will expand showing the line more clearly. I want this to happen live i.e. no page refresh/reload.

I've seen such things done on other sites but my question is, is this done using a php function or is JavaScript required to achieve this?

I assume that in order for any php functions to take place there must be a page refresh to reload the data/parameters/variables that are required?

The site I'm referring to is this one:-

http://www.vouchercodes.co.uk/featured-voucher-codes.html

If you click on the "Get code and open site" buttons there for any of the vouchers the area expands live and the voucher is revealed however as I say there is no page refresh and it is done live.

Is this effect done in JavaScript and not php or is there some way of using php alone to do something similar?

Obviously including JScript in a site is more risky as if a user does not have it installed/activated then they may not be able to use such elements hence the reason I want to know how it is done. 

I have several "sites" located in my html directory, and each has a "general" access point and an "administrator" access point:

/var/www/html/site1/index.php
/var/www/html/site1/administrator/index.php
/var/www/html/site2/index.php
/var/www/html/site2/administrator/index.php
/var/www/html/site3/index.php
/var/www/html/site3/administrator/index.php

All sites are similar except that data will be specific to site1, site2, or site3, etc.   Users who log onto /var/www/html/siteX/index.php are totally unrelated to those who logon to /var/www/html/siteX/administrator/index.php, will have different logon credentials, are stored in different DB tables, and each should have their own session.  If a user logs off of either the general or administrator site, it should not effect the other site even if they were previously logged on to both on the same PC (and of course not effect other sites). When a user logs off, I would like to destroy their previous cookie and associated session.  Users for either will only use https.  I am using Apache to rewrite https://www.mysite.com/ to https://mysite.com/.  While I named the administrator site "administrator" above, the administrator user has the ability to change the directory name.   I am thinking I need to use session_set_cookie_params to specify where I wish the session cookie to be stored since /var/www/html/siteX/administrator/index.php is a sub-directory to /var/www/html/siteX/index.php, but am not really sure.  Sorry for the cryptic post, but I am not very well versed in this subject. How would you recommend setting up cookies/sessions for this scenario?  Thank you

Hi,

My first post here is a cry for help

I have a Windows 2003 server running IIS6/PHP5, the server hosts multiple web sites.

The problem is include files that are for site A are showing on site B (each site having its own includes as part of the site files in its own site folder), though not every time, its very random, sometimes the correct includes show, sometimes ones from another site on the same server. This only occurs where the include files for both sites have the same name, such as 'inc-header.php' for example.

I can only assume PHP is caching includes and because they have the same name is showing the wrong one on other sites sometimes, if I rename them to something unique then the problem goes away, but its not a practical solution to rename all include files to unique names so I find myself looking for a 'real' fix.

I have a feeling its to do with the include_path in the php.ini, but right now its disabled with a semi-colon, and I don't want to set one as I have no global includes, all includes are site specific.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Not sure if I'm trying to achieve something totally crazy here, or if this is something pretty standard. Didn't have much luck with searching as I'm not fully down with all the terms.

(A) I have one site providing an RSS feed.
(B) I have one site I want to search, once for each of the items in the feed A.
(C) I want the results of the search in (B) to be displayed on page (C).

So for example, the feed on (A) says;

apples
bananas
oranges
cheese

I want site (B) to search for each of those terms (by passing the item in the feed (A) to the ?search= part of the URL of that page) and then show the results from THAT search on page C. Bit of a complex one, let me know if you need me to clarify. Thanks for any help! 

now i use this code to show where the visitors came from to my site.

<?php
$referer=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
echo $referer;
?>

now, i want to show the  5 latest vistors referer's site url on my site ?

Transferring data from sub-domain.site.com
Reading sub-domain.site.com

What is this all about?
I'm going to put all .. images into a separate sub-domain eg: images.site.com.
This would create a folder inside my public_HTML called "images"

Now when sites have that Transferring data, and Reading... is this .. something relating to what I want. Facebook also does it, and they get their images for the site from a sub domain, how is it all done?

I'm not sure if its entirely PHP, but I hope someone can help.

Thanks

I'm currently running a classified ads site and planning to display my own content from database combined with and external site rss. So here is what i got right now after the db query for the jobs ads (procedural php),

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($results, MYSQLI_ASSOC)){


echo '<div class="media margin-none">
<a class="pull-left bg-inverse innerAll text-center" href="#"><img src="'.$foto.'" share_alt="" width="100" height="100"></a>
<div class="media-body innerAll">
<h4 class="media-heading innerT">
<a href="' . $row['title'] .'-da' . $row['id_ad'] . '" class="text-inverse">'. $remuneracion .' &nbsp; ' . substr(ucfirst(strtolower($row['title'])), 0, 53) . '</a> <small class="pull-right label label-default"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-calendar-o"></i> ' . $row['date_created'] . '</small></h4>
<p>' . substr(ucfirst(strtolower($row['description'])), 0, 80) . ' ...</p>';

echo '</div>
</div>
<div class="col-separator-h"></div>';
}

echo pagination($statement,$per_page,$page, $url_filtros, $filtros);
?>

it is the while loop that i use to display ads from my database, what could be the best way to display (in this same loop?) other site's rss feed so i can show my content combined with the external rss? Thanks

Hi I made a new design for my website and I made some changes. I want to use layout for my second site. I'll like to know if my site is easier to browse through now and if you like the design better?. I test my site on internet explorer, chrome, and firefox. It is best to use site on better browsers like firefox and chrome to get a better experience of site. Thanks.   http://adjade.com

when in a form, I wish to build a conditional that if the response to a radio button is a value of 2 (female), it will display an input requesting for users maiden name. If not 2 goes to the next input statement.

Here is code I was experimenting with:


<html>
<body>
<form action="" name="test"  method='POST'>
<input type="radio" id="sex" value=1 checked><label>Male</label>
<input type="radio" id="sex" value=2><label>Femaleale</label>

    <?php
    $result = "value";
    if ($result == 2)
        echo "<input type='int' id='gradYear' size='3' required>";
        else
        echo "Not a female!"
    ?>

    <input type="submit" value="GO">
</form>
</body>
</html>


The code passes debug, however, Not a Female is displayed.

My question is - Can I do this and if so, what value do I test against id='sex' or value. I tried each one but gave the same results. I realize that $_POST[sex] would be used after the submit button is clicked. But this has me stumped.

Thanks for the assis in advance.

Hi, i am learning WordPress and have just started, but i have a problem....when i try to access my site i get this:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/smra9/public_html/wp-content/themes/evanescence/functions.php:6) in /home/smra9/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 890

when i open pluggable.php and i go to the line 890 it says:

header("Location: $location", true, $status);


i will also copy a text from line 885 to 890 so maybe you will understand better:

if ( $is_IIS ) {
header("Refresh: 0;url=$location");
} else {
if ( php_sapi_name() != 'cgi-fcgi' )
status_header($status); // This causes problems on IIS and some FastCGI setups
header("Location: $location", true, $status);
}


Can anyone help me, i don't know what to do

I am inheriting a significant web site and have not played with PHP in quite a while.

Is there a utility tool or something else that will take an initial starting web page and somehow map out all the included/required_once type of files so that I can quickly get an overview of the site?  Mapping hyperlinks would also be very helpful.

Any other tools/utilities/suggestions for reviewing the site would also be appreciated.
