PHP - Simple Program Help Needed

Hi

I have a simple idea for a webapp I would like to pay someone to develop for my small business.

It's a system for tracking "one off" orders we get.

Basically at the moment we use paper notes. Problems with this:-

- They get lost
- In 6 months time if the customer wants to reorder, you have to take the customer's details again, which isn't very professional
- If I remember I've taken an order for something I can't do anything about it (i.e. let my colleagues know) until I'm next at work.
etc etc

I wanted built a web app (basically a webpage front end to a as yet non-existent database) which would allow us to log these items and then have a search/query function where we would look through:-
"open orders" "closed orders" "orders awaiting collection" etc
  offers to mefijob@forward.cat   thanks!

I'm quite new on PHP language.I'm trying to make an simple Phone book apps.I added insert & show options in Phone book.Now i want to add "update & delete" option.How can i do that.
This is add code:
Code: [Select]

mysql_connect("localhost","admin","");
mysql_select_db("simphp");
//Get Values from form
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$number=$_POST['number'];
mysql_query("insert into phonebook(name,email,number) values('$name','$email','$number')");
echo"Saved Sucessfully";

$number=mysql_result($result,$i,"number");
echo "<br/>";
echo "Name  :<b> $name </b><br/>";

$i++;
}
?>
 
How can i update and delete data?? :confused:help me

I have two mysql tables, one is called "posts", the other is called "removed_posts", I have joined them together and can get some of the information from the tables, but I want to be able to get all of the information.

This is my query, and the variables I need the information to go to:

Code: [Select]
$quer = mysql_query("SELECT posts.id, removed_posts.post_id FROM posts, removed_posts WHERE posts.id=removed_posts.post_id AND removed_posts.user_id='".$session."'");
while($get_post = mysql_fetch_array($quer))
{
$session = $_COOKIE['id'];
$to_id = $get_post['to_id'];
$from_id = $get_post['from_id'];
$post = linkify(nl2br(htmlentities($get_post['post'])));
$date = time_stamp($get_post['date']);
$id = $get_post['id'];
What that's doing is selecting the id from 'posts' table, and selecting the post_id from the 'removed_posts' table (The query checks to make sure posts.id is equal to removed_posts.post_id), it does that just fine, since I defined what information I wanted it to get in the query, however, now I need to get the other information which will come from the 'posts' table.

$get_post['to_id'],
$get_post['from_id'],
$get_post['post'], and
$get_post['date']

I hope that's not toooooo confusing, any help would be appreciated

First and foremost I am PHP newbie so excuse the dumb question but I have been struggling with this one for hours and can not find the solution. Can someone show me how I would rewite the following wordpress code for meta tags so that it automatically strips out the character ' from the "single" page titles?

Example I want this title: "My Cat's Black" to be "My Cats Black"

This is the line I am trying to edit.....
Code: [Select]
elseif ( is_single() ) { wp_title(''); print ' | '; bloginfo('name');  }
here is the full piece of code...
Code: [Select]
<title><?php 
if ( is_home() ) { bloginfo('name'); print ' | '; bloginfo('description'); } 
elseif ( is_search() ) { bloginfo('name'); print ' | '; _e('Search Results', 'woothemes');  }  
elseif ( is_author() ) { bloginfo('name'); print ' | '; _e('Author Archives', 'woothemes');  }  
elseif ( is_single() ) { wp_title(''); print ' | '; bloginfo('name');  }
elseif ( is_page() ) {  bloginfo('name'); print ' | '; bloginfo('description'); }
elseif ( is_category() ) {  single_cat_title(); print ' | '; bloginfo('name');  }  
elseif ( is_month() ) {  _e('Archive', 'woothemes'); print ' | '; the_time('F'); bloginfo('name'); }
elseif (function_exists('is_tag')) { if ( is_tag() ) {  bloginfo('name'); print ' | '; _e('Tag Archive', 'woothemes'); print ' | ';  single_tag_title("", true); } } 
?></title>
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello Freaks!

  I am having problem with following code:

<?php simplexml_load_string ('?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>'); php?>

 This code is giving me following error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in public_html/wp-content/plugins/pluginnamehere/whatever.php on line 665


I know there is only a minor bracket problem that causing me this error. I would be helpful to you if you can modify it for me

Thanks

I'm attempting to implement a simple social networking system but at the moment am confused about how to create a multiple query which will display a certain user's friends list.

The database contains four tables, the two tables that I'm using at the moment at 'usersTable' and 'friendshipsTable' are detailed below.


usersTable           | Table that stores all the user data

UserID         | Default primary key
Forename              |
Surname         |
Username           |
Password              |
Email Address      |


friendshipTable   | Table that stores information about friendships between users

FriendshipID      |  Default primary key
userID_1                |  UserID
userID_2         |  UserID
Status         |  Either Pending or Confirmed.

The user's id is parsed into the url, and then saved into a variable.

blah.com/userprofile.php?id=6

$id = $_GET['id']; 

I am familiar with creating simple queries, but can't quite work out how to set up multiple table queries.

What the query needs to do is to check the userID that is parsed with the url, and then check the friendshipsTable by checking if either the userID_1 or userID_2 field  matches the userID to grab the records from the table where there is a match.

The next step is to check to see if the friendship is 'Confirmed' or 'Pending' and if it is 'Pending' to ignore it. Once the records have then been chosen I need the query to then check the value in either userID_1 or userID_2 that doesn't match userID and then pull the user's username and name from the usersTable so it can be displayed on a webpage.

I've no idea hoe much I may or may not be overcomplicating this, an example of the code that I've got so far for this query can be found below, but that's as far as I've got at the moment.

$displayFriends = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM friendshipTable, usersTable WHERE friendshipTable.userID_1='$id' OR friendshipTable.userID_2='$id' ");

Cheers for any help.

Hi

I need to include a exe program in a website. The only file of this program is the .exe file. It has a couple of textboxes, and when you insert values in these boxes and submit it gives an text output in the same window.

Is there a way in php that I can take in values from an html form and insert it into this programs form?
And then how can I read its output using php? Or is there another web-based language that I should rather use?

Your help would be appretiated!

I stumbled across this site after being slammed hard elsewhere for being a novice and really not knowing what I am doing.  What I have read so far is more encouraging.  I just wrote my first program in php and it is not working at all right now.  All it keeps doing is opening window after window until I force the browser to close.  I am using a Mac running Yosemite and using MAMP.  Hopefully that is enough background.    I know this is an introduction area, so I will also post this in another forum in case this is closed for being off topic.   This is a login file to connect to the server:

<?php // login.php
// Get connection information

    <input type = "text" name = "password" /><br />

    <input type = "submit" value = "submit" />
    </form>
_END

I'd like to put a password requirement in this program & an expiration date (database record)so that at 11 months I output an alert and at the end of one year it shuts down. ?
The below code works for the password but I can't find how to link to my main page?
PHP Code:
<?php
mysql_connect(localhost,root,"");
mysql_select_db(entrydb) or die( "Unable to select database");
if(!empty($_POST["submit"]))

$expdate = $_POST['expdate'];

Hello phpFreaks!

I want to ask you if there are some ways to make your php program works with serial number (that you give in people that bought it). So the one that buy it can't copy and give it to his friend..Or something...

Is there any way to make this with php ?

Thanks alot!

I need to execute a program in the command prompt in windows using php, which php functions would be best to do this? and would i need to set any type of permissions to be able to use them?

HI,   I am a beginner at programing and I have to do this project where it is asking me to valid ISBN 10 and 13 using MySQL database to store the information. I checked my php code to validate ISBN 10 and 13 and it works, but when I try to store the data to MySQL it is not working. What  I mean is that when I click ShowISBN link it doesn't show this information: ISBN Number ISBN Type Date Entered using timestamp Valid or Invalid This is the codes I have for input page of ISBN page:

<?php
//this is the isset function which allows us to submit back
//to the same form.  If there isn't anything in the ISBN, it will
//show the bottom part of the form

	|| empty($_POST['Valid_Invalid']))
{
	$ISBN = $_POST["ISBN"];;
	$IsbnType = $_POST["isbn_type"];;
	$VaorIn = $_POST["Valid_Invalid"];;

	$ISBN_Arr = str_split($ISBN);
	$not10 =0;
	$notNum=0;
	$notX=0;
	//entering error checking for the code
	//check for 10 first, if clear do additional checking
	if(strlen($ISBN) == 10)
		{//start further error checking	
		//check to make sure first 9 are numeric

This is the second part of the code that incorporates php and MySQL:

<?php

if (empty($_POST['ISBN'])|| empty($_POST['isbn_type']) 
	|| empty($_POST['Valid_Invalid']))

		 to the input page of ISBN 10 with Database.</p>\n";
		 
else {

	if($DBConnect === false)
		echo"<p>Unable to conenct to the database server.</p>"

Hi Guys

We have had a holiday program written in php in the past by an experienced developer but we are experiencing problems now.   So I am curious to try and resolve the best approach

Here goes

1:  We query multiple APIs to return holiday results to our users

2:  This can take up to 20 seconds to return results but sometimes its much quicker depending on the volume of API returned results

3:  Other users seem to be locked out of even visiting our website if an API call is running

So initially without posting any code, I have a couple of questions which are

A:  Is there a way to maybe poll a process or allow partial results to the users browser while things run in the background ( similar to what other holiday providers seem to be doing )

B:  Is there a way to speed this up or maybe some sort of better technology to utilise

 

Many thanks professionals

I wonder if some kind-hearted person can help me?
I am trying to download a video file which has a wmv. The protocol is either mms:// or http://

I can see the video in my browser but I cannot download it using curl or wget in a program and I need to download a few of these.
They are publicly viewable so they are not private stuff.
The URL is http://210.150.12.140/vod11/tepco/other/1111_01.wmv?MSWMExt=.asf
or
mms://wmt.stream.co.jp/vod11/tepco/other/1111_01.wmv

All I get at the moment is a text file of less than 1K and not the movie itself.
How would I download this file please?
Thanks
Paul
