PHP - Program Php To Produce Html Output Using Tables To Render Results.
Hi there,
My friend asked me to help him perform a task today and I was completely stumped as to how I should complete it. Being someone who is reasonably experienced with PHP programming I didn't think I would find it absolutely impossible to complete, maybe hard, but not impossible. So I wondered if someone would now be able to explain to me in order to assist me in expanding my knowledge how to complete this task.

Here is a link to the files he sent me, please ignore the C++ section.
If anyone could help / begin to give an explanation please fire away. I feel so bad about myself for NOT knowing that I'm now motivated to learn more!
Many thanks!
Similar TutorialsHey guys, I'm building an E-commerce store for a T-Shirt selling company, I've assembled the shopping cart etc correctly but I am having problems within building a forum based system for the site admin to post Bulletins and Notices to the homepage + a blogging page. I am using a while loop which should iterate the results at the end of each cycle through my variable $postResult Here is my code... <?php include_once "../scripts/db_connect.php"; // Connect to the database // Get the section ID from the url variable coming in $sqlout = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM blog_posts ORDER BY ordered ASC LIMIT 10"); if (isset($_GET['id']) && $_GET['id'] != "") { $sid = preg_replace('#[^0-9]#i', '', $_GET['id']); // filter all characters except numbers for security } else { echo "ERROR: Variables to run this script have been removed from the URL."; exit(); } // Query the database for that section id, make sure it exists and get the section title $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM blog_category WHERE forum_id='$sid' LIMIT 1"); $numRows = mysql_num_rows($sql); if ($numRows < 1) { echo "ERROR: That section deos not exist you have tampered with our URLs."; exit(); } while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $sectionTitle = $row["forum_title"]; } // Use the section ID to query the "forum_posts" table in the database to get all the threads for this section $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM blog_posts WHERE type='a' AND section_id='$sid' ORDER BY date_time DESC LIMIT 10"); $postResult = ''; $numRows = mysql_num_rows($sql); if ($numRows < 1) { $postResult = "There are no threads in this section yet. You can be the first to post."; } else { while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $thread_id = $row["id"]; $post_author = $row["post_author"]; $post_author_id = $row["post_author_id"]; $date_time = $row["date_time"]; $convertedTime = ($myAgoObject -> convert_datetime($date_time)); $whenPost = ($myAgoObject -> makeAgo($convertedTime)); $thread_title = $row["thread_title"]; $dynamicList .= '<img src="style/threadPic.jpg" width="26" height="18" alt="Topic" /> ' . $post_author . ' - <a href="view_thread.php?id=' . $thread_id . '">' . $thread_title . '</a> - ' . $whenPost . '<br />'; } } ?> And here is a snippet of where I echo the results in my HTML: <br /><br /> <div style="margin-left:12px; "><?php echo $postResult; ?></div> <br /><br /><br /></td> I have been slaving over this for hours now, the first $postResult variable will always iterate its text of "There are no threads in this section yet. You can be the first to post.", I can't see anything wrong in my SQL syntax as I have a similar set up to iterate my products to different pages and that has always worked fine Any input on this would be great Kind Regards Alex. Ok this has been driving me absolutely crazy. I have a script that gets called by Prototype's Ajax.Updater() class which should then update a div. It does update the div but a portion of what gets outputted doesn't render. Code: [Select] if (is_array($PROCESSED["associated_proxy_ids"]) && count($PROCESSED["associated_proxy_ids"])) { foreach ($PROCESSED["associated_proxy_ids"] as $student) { if ((array_key_exists($student, $STUDENT_LIST)) && is_array($STUDENT_LIST[$student])) { ?> <li class="user" id="audience_student_<?php echo $STUDENT_LIST[$student]["proxy_id"]; ?>" style="cursor: move;"><?php echo $STUDENT_LIST[$student]["fullname"]; ?><img src="<?php echo ENTRADA_URL; ?>/images/action-delete.gif" onclick="removeAudience('student_<?php echo $STUDENT_LIST[$student]["proxy_id"]; ?>', 'students');" class="list-cancel-image" /></li> <?php } } } I've echoed from within the foreach and the following if and the $student variable does have a value, however I'll point out that it also doesn't render but that may be because its not a <li>, I'm not sure. Now, if I take that li element lin end output it outside of the foreach loop it renders just fine(once I substitute the $student variable for a known index of course). Inside the loop it doesn't. I can see it in the source code of the page but for some reason its not rendering. I'll put the output from the source of the page below, the top is the code output from within the loop and the bottom is from outside of the loop. The bottom renders as expected, the top doesn't. Code: [Select] <!--foreach li element:doesn't render--> <li class="user" id="audience_student_2" style="cursor: move;">Hudson, Tom<img src="http://localhost/entrada/www-root/images/action-delete.gif" onclick="removeAudience('student_2', 'students');" class="list-cancel-image" /></li> <!--non foreach li element:renders--> <li class="user" id="audience_student_2" style="cursor: move;">Hudson, Tom<img src="http://localhost/entrada/www-root/images/action-delete.gif" onclick="removeAudience('student_2', 'students');" class="list-cancel-image" /></li> They're identical. I can't figure out for the life of me why this isn't working. Any help would be great.

Details: I am making a PHP/MySQL game to learn more PHP, I've got my login/logout system created. However I am planning on the game been map based on a 100x100 grid. I have two tables: USERS Username, Password, x, y Test, Test, 1, 1 MAP X, Y, type 0,1,1 0,2,1 0,3,2 0,4,3 0,5,2 etc I am stuck on how to get the user's logged in X and Y coordinates and then compare them with the map table X and Y, to see what type of field to show, 1,2 or 3. Is there a name for this type of function so I can do some research on it? Or could someone give me an example? Would be fantastic if anyone has any advice.

The primary key on the table client is auto genereated and titled client_id the primary key on web_info is e_mail and I want to pull information from the table web_info where the e_mail columns match.

Basically, I need to compare the prod_id's of each table and output all products (and quantities) matching the temporary cart prod_id. What I have now to loop through and display the cart items are (bear with me): echo "<h1>Cart</h1>"; } // Display welcome and navigation links displayWelcome(); displayNav(); // Getting the prod_id's from the table cart to compare with the product table $cart_id = session_id(); $user_id = ($_SESSION['login_username']); $query = "SELECT prod_id FROM cart WHERE cart_id='$cart_id' AND user_id='$user_id'"; $result = mysqli_query($cxn,$query) or die("<h2 class=\"warning\">Whoa!

And the price is not accurate, either. Can anyone help me in where my problem might be? Is it my query? Or my while clause? I'm trying to do a following feed. This feed includes posts and comments that the user is following.
The first 3 following types are in the content table and the last following type is in the comments table.
This query fetches the first 3 following types successfully.
$construct = $connectdb->prepare("SELECT parent.* FROM `content` as parent JOIN followers ftable on ( (ftable.parent_id=parent.sid AND ftable.userposts='1') OR (ftable.`parent_id`=parent.pageid AND ftable.topic='1') OR (ftable.parent_id=parent.pageid AND ftable.page='1') ) AND ftable.userid=:userid WHERE parent.deleted='0' GROUP BY parent.id ORDER BY parent.posted DESC");This query fetches the following comments type successfully $construct = $connectdb->prepare("SELECT parent.* FROM `comments` as parent JOIN followers ftable on ftable.parent_id=parent.postid AND ftable.comments='1' AND ftable.userid=:userid WHERE parent.deleted='0' ORDER BY parent.posted DESC");How do i combine the two queries? In this feed i want the results to be ORDER by posted DESC. I am using multiple levels of JSON data coming into php from a C# application, as in:
return new RootObject() { ID_Project = 4, Name_Project = "Test", Receiver_ID = 4, Receiver_Name = "ABCDE", UserID = 20, UserRole = new User_Role() { ID_User = 20, Role_User = "level 3", User_Role_Description = "U", UserGroup = new List<user_group>() { new User_Group() { ID_UserGroup = 30, Name_UserGroup = "usergroup8", UserID = 20 }, new User_Group() { ID_UserGroup = 31, Name_UserGroup = "usergroup9", UserID = 21 }, new User_Group() { ID_UserGroup = 32, Name_UserGroup = "usergroup10", UserID = 22 } } } }; i am having troubles accessing the second level: UserRole and 3rd level: User_Group in my php script. im currently trying like this: foreach ($phpArray as $key => $value) { echo "<h2>$key</h2>"; foreach ($value as $k => $v) { echo "$k | $v "; foreach ($v as $key1) { echo "$key1 "; } } } does anyone have an idea? Thanks, Revathy This topic has been moved to MySQL Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=354388.0 I have the following four tables. The query below is supposed to retrieve all projects and related data in associated tables where the project has been archived (i.e., archive field in project_info table set to '1') and user ID = '599zxj'. Hey there. Not sure how to word this. I've been flying blind as a newbie trying to figure out some pagination for a left joined query. I've got syntax errors trying to set up the SELECT COUNT function that adds up the results of the search on a previous page so it knows how many results matched both tables. Right now, I've got this mess, and it's giving me a syntax error, "You have an error in your SQL syntax; .... near 'LEFT JOIN plantae ON (descriptors.plant_id = plantae.pla' at line 12" Code: [Select] $data = "Select (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM descriptors ) AS count1, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM plantae ) AS count2 LEFT JOIN plantae ON (descriptors.plant_id = plantae.plant_name) WHERE `leaf_shape` LIKE '%$select1%' AND `leaf_venation` LIKE '%$select3%' AND `leaf_margin` LIKE '%$select4%'"; $result = mysql_query ($data); if (!$result) { die("Oops, my query failed.

For example with an IDE to run a program is there a way to put some code in the path and let it tell me where it came from like a referral? $ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; echo("$ref<br>"; Result: https://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=lambo As you can clearly see the page that we have entered the code in is referred by the URL here. It tells me that it was last at a word press page /wp-admin/admin-php and I can go to that page and it will be the last page it was at.. So bottom line then if i add this code to the admin page and click the same button i had before.. it will tell me the file that called out the admin page. Baslcaly I am looking for ideas on how to track the page i am now all the way back to the page with the button on it and all intermediate pages that it passes thru to get to the final destination. It seems that to succesfully troubleshoot a fault is to follow the path of the entire job and see if any breaks... Any thoughts or suggestions on how to best do this would greatly be appreciated.
