PHP - Add Up Different Data And Posting In Total
Hi,
I have a database which holds results
Name | Car | etc \ etc | Round 1 | round 2 | round 3 // etc | Total
the points are in the format of;
e.g.
100.5 // 25.6 // 35.8 // 50.0
I input the data manually using a webpage, clicking on the relevant driver, update scores, click submit. I have to manually work out the total, is there a way I can it it automatically add the values from round 1,2,3, etc.
Similar TutorialsHello I am very new to php and programming and I need a grand total of "$Total = odbc_result($result, "total");" but not sure of how to create it. So I have an AJAX call that I'm using to POST 1 variable to a PHP script I have on a separate server. The PHP takes this variable and returns data based off of what the variable is. This works on all browsers except IE9 and below. IE9 returns data but it's an error saying the variable is missing which to me shows that it isn't sending the data. Below I have the AJAX call I'm making:
(function (jQ) { var inviteID = '00000000000'; jQ.ajax({ url: 'www.example.com/test.php', type: 'POST', dataType: 'json', cache: false, data: { classID: inviteID }, error: function (data, status, error) { jQ('.statusField').append('Failu ' + data + status + error); }, success: function (data, status, error) { jQ('.statusField').append('Success: ' + data); } }); })(jQuery); And below I have the PHP script that's being used: <?php //first POST to grab token function runPost($classID) { $postdata = array( 'username' => 'username', 'password' => 'password' ); //open connection $ch = curl_init(); //set the url, POST data curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.example.com/login"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($postdata)); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'example'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json')); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //execute post $result = curl_exec($ch); //close connection curl_close($ch); list($message, $time, $token, $userID) = split(',', $result); list($one, $two, $three, $four, $five) = split('\"', $token); $four = json_encode($four); $four = str_replace('"','',$four); $secondaryPostData = array( 'token' => $four, 'data' => array( 'invitationID' => $classID )); //open connection $chu = curl_init(); //set the url, POST data curl_setopt($chu, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.example.com/classID"); curl_setopt($chu, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($chu, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($secondaryPostData)); curl_setopt($chu, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'example'); curl_setopt($chu, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json')); curl_setopt($chu, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //execute post $secondResult = curl_exec($chu); //close connection curl_close($chu); return json_encode($secondResult); } //Grab classID from javascript echo runPost(trim($_POST['classID'])); ?> Again, this works fine in everything except IE. I've tried using just $.post and even XDomainRequest() and get the same result. The network console in IE shows that the Request body does have the classID in it, but I'm guessing it's just not sending the data to the PHP script. I don't know if I'm missing something that IE needs to send this to the PHP script but any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm not much of a PHP programmer so please excuse the mess but I'm having a problem with some code. I am able to successfully build a table and assign values to radio buttons based one information in a database. The problem comes when I want to update the database when someone changes a radio button. Everthing works up until the foreach statment. Nothing in the database is being updated, if I replace the sql statement with echo $v; all I get is the word Submit so it's like the rest of the values aren't being included in the form. <link href="css/demo.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <?php session_start(); // dBase file include "dbconfig.php"; if (!$_SESSION["valid_user"]) { // User not logged in, redirect to login page Header("Location: index.php"); } //Grab GUID passed in the URL $guid=$_GET['guid']; // Create query for student name $sql = "SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Students where GUID ='". $guid .

Here how it looks using JavaScript: Code: [Select] <form name="postdata" action="http://www.mywebsite.com/post.php" method="post"> <input name="data" type="text" value="1"/> </form> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> document.postdata.submit(); </script> Works fine with JavaScript, however i can't use it.

So, I have recently become interested in the world of webpage design and HTML coding. Thus far, I have created a few simple HTML webpages, the first of which includes some basic facts and information on the state of NC. Everything has gone rather smoothly for me until this point, but I would now like to incorporate a bit of PHP into my knowledge of web development. First, I would like to include a form on my NC page that once submitted, goes to a new PHP page displaying the inputted data to the screen. On the new page, I am attempting to include files: a header and footer. On my other couple of pages for which I would like to add server side includes. And lastly, if possible, it would be great if I could learn how to add some additional features like sending e-mails or displaying the date. Any advice or tips on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated! I'm trying to figure out a way to post data directly to a URL. For example: <?php if (isset($_POST["pass"]) && ($_POST["pass"]=="$password")) { echo "You did it"; ?> <?php } else { echo "<form method=\"post\"><p align=\"left\">"; echo "<input name=\"pass\" type=\"text\" size=\"25\" maxlength=\"40\"><input value=\"Enter Pass\" type=\"submit\"></form>"; exit; } ?> Let's assume $password is 'password'. Why can't I simply pass the information through the URL to access the page with something like this: Code: [Select] http://mypage.com/the-same-page.php?pass=password This topic has been moved to HTML Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=346552.0 Hello. I currently have a web page that allows a user to enter text into a form then select a "Submit Query" button; upon doing this the entered text is saved to a database and displayed for the user on the same page (the page where the form and "Submit Query" button are located). My question is as follows: I wish the results to be displayed on a new page when the "Submit Query" button is clicked, not displayed on the same page. Is this achieved through targeting? I am a bit lost at this point on how to achieve this result. Thank-you in advance for any help. ~Matty Hi everyone, First off thank you very kindly to anyone who can provide some enlightenment to this total php/mysql newb. I am creating my first database and while I have been able to connect to the database within my php script (or so I believe), the form data does not appear to be actually getting sent. I have development experience in other languages but this is completely new to me so if I've missed something that appears painfully obvious like a parse error of some sort, I do apologize. I am creating a website using Godaddy as the hosting account, and attempting to connect to the mysql database at the following URL (maybe this is where I'm going wrong): "pnmailinglist.db.4662743.hostedresource.com" Below is my very simple code: <?php //Verify successful connection to database. $connect = mysql_connect("pnmailinglist.db.4662743.hostedresource.com", "*********", "*********"); if(!$connect) {die("Could not connect!"); } //Initialize variables with form data. $firstname = $_POST['FirstName']; $lastname = $_POST['LastName']; $email = $_POST['Email']; $howfound = $_POST['HowFound']; //Post data to database, or return error. mysql_select_db("pnmailinglist", $connect); mysql_query("INSERT INTO mailinglist (First, Last, Email, How_Found) VALUES ($firstname,$lastname,$email,$howfound)"); mysql_close($connect); echo "Thank you for joining our mailing list! We will contact you soon with the dates and times of our upcoming events."; ?> Thank you again very much for any pointers or hints as to where I'm screwing up. I get no runtime errors, no syntax errors, and the echo message does display fine at the end -- just no data when I go to check my database! Best Regards, CL I ve been having trouble processing form data to the same page as the do on facebook comments. Can php scripts do that. Help me guys!! Hello all, thanks for everything you do! I used a php from generator to make the form seen on this page: http://www.firstpresgreenville.org/forms/retirementform/retirementform-alt.html I need to be able to click on the check boxes and get a dollar amount total in the total field....So if you checked "single", the total field would read $40, and if you checked on "couple", the field would read $50...simple as that...

Thanks in advance I'm trying to figure out how to add up all the $qty_total that exist into an overall total. I hope I'm not oversimplifying my example.. I have this: $qty_total = $qty_insert * $d['workshop_price']; $qty_insert loops several times and I want: $overall_total = $qty_total + qty_total + ...however many.. I get all the results displayed but how can I echo the total value for for all rows found for under column 'duration' which only contains numbers (seconds).
$query = "SELECT * FROM asterisk_cdr WHERE calldate LIKE '%$calldate%' AND channel LIKE '%$channel%' AND duration"; $result = mysqli_query($dbcon, $query) or die('Error getting data'); $num_rows = mysqli_num_rows($result); ok, i had some great help from this forum recently so i hope for the same outcome this time probably a rather easy question for most of you, i have a form that visitors use to input date using php (submission_date) in to db. date is then entered in db as a VARCHAR (i.e. Mar-15-2011), what i would like is to have another field which would calculate time elapsed. Since calculation can be only done on date not varchar ( i assume), i would need to have submission date also as a DATE and then passed on to a new field for calculating total time. does that make sense? lol I would really appreciate any pointers or help with this, not sure if im going in the right direction, but thats a start thank you! |
