PHP - Your Basic Project/ Scripts
I have been been coding in php for about 5/6 years. While at uni I was taught the procedural way, and using all the myql_ functions to do database work. Generally speaking if you google for php coding examples you tend to come across examples using those methods which I now believe are out of date.
In recent years I have learned some MVC, and used some frame works and open source applications (opencart, wordpress etc...)
So im just wondering, these days if you had to write a basic script to get information from a database how would you go about it? or say you were going to make a basic 5 page website with php how would you set it up?
The reason im asking these questions is because I want to get out of bad habits and using outdated methods so rather than write something like the following what would you do?
$dbh1 = mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'password') or die(mysql_error()); //DB connection
mysql_select_db('db_name', $dbh1);//choose correct database
$query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE something = something";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
echo$row["field"];
How would you set up a basic website (content pages,contact form)?
In the past I have done something this :
request ---> index.php (get page & content from db) ---> pass info to content.phpAs i said im looking to get out of bad habits and essentially get up to scratch on modern day practices for basic projects, using a framework or CMS for such simple things seems like overkill. Thanks. Similar TutorialsAbout Me Hi, firstly let me introduce myself. My name is Liam O'Connor and I'm 17 years old, 18 soon (quite excited) living in the UK and I've been learning how to makes websites ever since I was 16. Within the last 2 years I have taught myself (x)HTML/CSS, PHP/MySQL, JavaScript/Ajax to a good standard. I'm currently at college doing a Computing Networking and Security Extended Diploma. The Project I have been working on a website for many months now that I REALLY love doing. When ready for launch the website will be a simple social networking website that lets users communicate in groups or one-on-one, also users will be able to create chats on the topics they like to talk about and personalise them to how they like. What have I done so far? Within the last few months I have created a well working chat system that allows many users to communicate together, and many features within the chat such as emoticons, change status (online, busy, away), control of font size, sound alerts, chat comments, and a thumb rating system. What could you do? If you are interested to help develop a website like this one (for free) in your own time, please contact me and let me know a little about you and what you think you would be able to offer. There is no rush to get this project finished and put live for the world to see so there would be no pressure on you. If you are not interested in developing the website but you believe you have some wise words of wisdom please share them with me or if you believe you can help in any other way please let me know. Please check out the image below Thanks So I am working on a project in which I am taking pictures from an SSH area, running ImageMagick on the picture to crop out what I want and then use the threshold to make it like I want, and then finally run Tesseract OCR on the final picture. I have a new picture coming in to the spot I am taking the pictures from every six seconds and I need the program to run the commands to do all of this every six seconds as the pictures come in forever basically. As of right now, here is my code that I have. I am relatively new to using PHP scripting working for the command line in Ubuntu. So if anyone could help me with some fixes to this code, I would be greatly appreciative. Code: [Select] <?php function tesseract($image) { define($ocmd, `ssh *place i am taking from*`); fwrite("<pre>$ocmd</pre>"); define("$pic1", "`convert $image -crop 1000x170+350+785 -negate -threshold 42000 $image.tif`");//This is a 1920x1080 hd image define("$pic2", "`convert $image -crop 600x95+200+550 -negate -threshold 41000 $image.tif`");//This is a 1280x720 hd image define("$pic3", "`convert $image -crop 650x100+75+550 -negate -threshold 43000 $image.tif`");//This is a 960x720 hd image define("$pic4", "`convert $image -crop 500x62+175+410 -black-threshold 53% $image.tif`");//This is a 960x540 hd image define("$cmd2", "`tesseract $image.tif $image.txt`");//command to take the words of the edited image list($width, $height) = ImageCreateFromJPEG(filename); define("$area", "($width*$height)"); if ($area == 1920*1080) { $line = $pic1; } elseif ($area == 1280*720) { $line = $pic2; } elseif ($area == 960*720) { $line = $pic3; } elseif ($area == 960*540) { $line = $pic4; } else { $line = "Please try a picture of another size."; } echo("<pre>$line</pre>"); if ($line != "Please try a picture of another size.") { echo"<pre>$cmd2</pre>"; } } ?> Hello I am new to the forums and this is my first post A little about me, I have played around with php time to time but don't know how to code it, I can modify it and use scripts and what not but I can't find a script that I wan't to do this I wan't to be able to upload and file share site without using mysql and using cookies instead to keep track of user's upload's without having them to register a account, I don't want a user management system for this I just want them to be able to upload a file and it keep track of their upload's(I can set a limit of course), and be able to share the direct link to their friends for them to quickly download it. I need to know what steps I need to do and how to start basically and if anyone can help me out.

http://postimg.org/image/3l9j1uipf/
When the 'Add Reviews' is clicked, it goes here
> http://postimg.org/image/q07qvnluh/
Here comes the problem, I need to add radio buttons / groups for people to select their phone rating 1-5.
& in the front page (the page with add / search / list), it displays the ranking / rating of phones.
Anyone have any idea how do I do the codes?
