PHP - Creating A Collapsible List

Hi,

I've been working on making my own FAQ system for my site with PHP & MySQL, I have the SQL displaying properly on the page but I cant seem to figure out how to make it so when the page loads just the questions show and when a question is clicked the answer shows below it. I've read a number of tutorials and when I do get it to work it will only show the answer to the first question when the link is clicked.

Here is the code I'm using to display the info from the database:

Code: [Select]
<div id="faqSQL">
   <?php foreach($result as $option) { ?>
      <div class="faq-question"><?php echo wordwrap($option['faqquestion'], 100, "\n", false);?></div>
      <div class="faq-answer"><?php echo wordwrap($option['faqanswer'], 100, "\n", false);?></div>
    <?php } ?>
</div>

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

I am looking to use this functionality : http://www.w3schools...mob_collapsible   However using my own CSS style. I looked at the source code, unfortunately the code is just jammed together so it isn't immediately clear how it works, I thought too that I could find every semi-colon and do a line escape but I don't know / think that javascript / jquery follows the same end of line statement as php.   I'm just looking to have a rectangle that when pushed, another rectangle of the same width but different color / font "extends" below this one, pushing the other elements below, away.    If anyone would care to chime in I'd appreciate it, otherwise I'll scrutinize the javascript/jquery code, I haven't worked with either too much yet.   Thanks

Hi,
In my mysql database i have a text input option, in the registration form and edit my details form i have a multiple select dropdown list, which user selects options to populate the text input box, which ultimately populates the text field in the mysql database.
All works perfectly.

The dropdownlist consists of 3 parts <optgroups> first is current selection (what is the usesr current selection)works fine, The second <optgroup> is existing words, what words we(the site) have given as options, and the third <optgroup> is the words that others have used. This is where im having a small problem.
Because its a text field when i call the data from the database, it calls the entire text box as a single option in my select list..

I want to break the words in the text field (at the comma) and have them listed each one as an option in the select list.


Example what i need:

Words in text box:(my input allows the "comma")
word1, word2, word3, word4, word5, word6,

How i want them called/displayed:
<option value=\"word1\">word1</option>
<option value=\"word2\">word2</option>
<option value=\"word3\">word3</option>
<option value=\"word4\">word4</option>
<option value=\"word5\">word5</option>
<option value=\"word6\">word6</option>

here's my code:
$query = "SELECT allwords FROM #__functions_experience WHERE  profile_id  = '".(int)$profileId."' LIMIT 1";
         $original_functionsexperience =doSelectSql($query,1);
         $query = "SELECT allwords FROM #__functions_experience WHERE  profile_id  = '".(int)$profileId."' LIMIT 1";
         $functionsexperiencelist=doSelectSql($query);
          $funcexpList ="<select multiple=\"multiple\" onchange=\"setFunctionsexperience(this.options)\">";   
         foreach ($functionsexperiencelist as $functionsexperienceal)
            {
            $selected="";
            if ($functionsexperienceals->allwords == $original_functionsexperience)
               $selected=' selected="selected"';
            $allwords=$functionsexperienceal->allwords;
            $funcexpList .= "<optgroup label=\"Current selection\">
            <option value=\"".$allwords."\" ".$selected." >".$allwords."</option>
            </optgroup>      
              <optgroup label=\"Existing Words\">
              <option value=\"existing1,\">existing1</option>
              <option value=\"existing2,\">existing2</option>
              <option value=\"existing3,\">existing3</option>
              <option value=\"existing4,\">existing4</option>
              <option value=\"existing5,\">existing5</option>
              <option value=\"existing6,\">existing6</option>
         </optgroup>
         <optgroup label=\"Others added\">    //heres problem
         <option value=\"".$allwordsgeneral."\">".$allwordsgeneral."</option>
         </optgroup>";
            }
         $funcexpList.="</select>";
         $output['FUNCEXPLIST']=$funcexpList;         
      
         
   The result im getting for optgroup others added:
   word1, word2, word3, word4, word5,

how can i get it like this:
<option value=\"word1\">word1</option>
<option value=\"word2\">word2</option>
<option value=\"word3\">word3</option>
<option value=\"word4\">word4</option>
<option value=\"word5\">word5</option>
<option value=\"word6\">word6</option>

Hi , I have one question .. Can I split showing of content of dynamic list in 2 parts , when I echo list in code ..

Code: [Select]
<?php 
// Run a select query to get my letest 8 items
// Connect to the MySQL database  
include "../connect_to_mysql.php"; 
$dynamicList = "";
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products ORDER BY date_added DESC LIMIT 8");
$productCount = mysql_num_rows($sql); // count the output amount
if ($productCount > 0) {
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ 
             $id = $row["id"];
 $product_name = $row["product_name"];
 $price = $row["price"];
 $date_added = strftime("%b %d, %Y", strtotime($row["date_added"]));
 $dynamicList .= '<table width="100%" border="2" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
        <tr>
          <td width="17%" valign="top"><a href="product.php?id=' . $id . '"><img style="border:#666 1px solid;" src="inventory_images/' . $id . '.jpg" alt="' . $product_name . '" width="77" height="102" border="2" /></a></td>

            <a href="product.php?id=' . $id . '">View Product Details</a></td>
        </tr>
      </table>';
    }
} else {
$dynamicList = "We have no products listed in our store yet";
}
mysql_close();
?>


Code: [Select]
<p><?php echo $dynamicList; ?><br />
</p>
It works ok, and putting my files, everything works, but when I put 8 pictures with price and other details, it just show one image with details and another image below with details, and the third image below and so on ..
Can I split dynamic list to show 4 images with details on the left side and 4 on the right side?

Thank you in advance for help , if is possible

Hi, I use the following code to create a select menu from an array of options stored in LISTS.php:


include 'LISTS.php';

print('<select id="from" name="from">');
foreach ($langList as $lang) {printf('<option %s>%s</option>', 
     ($from1 == $lang ? 'selected="selected"' : ''), $lang);
     }
echo '</select>';


where LISTS.php includes the following:
$langList = array(' ','English', 'French', 'German', 'Dutch', 'Spanish');

This works great, but now I want to do something similar with a checkbox list, where each checkbox has an associated 'onchange' javascript function and I'm getting pretty stuck.

My checkbox list is of the following form:

Code: [Select]
<html>
<ul style="height: 95px; overflow: auto; width: 200px; border: 1px solid #480091; list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0;">
    <li id="li1b"><label for="chk1b"><input name="chk1b" id="chk1b" type="checkbox" onchange="function1('chk1b','li1b')">Option1</label></li>
    <li id="li2b"><label for="chk2b"><input name="chk2b" id="chk2b" type="checkbox" onchange="function1('chk2b','li2b')">Option2</label></li>
//etc.
 </ul>
</html>
What I want to do is have 'Option1', 'Option2', etc. stored in an array in LISTS.php and have a PHP script that populates the checkbox list accordingly, in a similar manner to my select menu above. I can't work out how to get the ID of the next <li> and the next <input> in the list to go up by one each time, e.g. 'li1b' then 'li2b', 'li3b', etc.

Could someone pls help me out? Thanks!

Is there a way to take data that is listed like a,b,c,d,e and turn that into an unordered list?

Basically, I'm going to have a list of schools that will be listed with comma separators.  I'll print that data out in two places, one will be printed as it's in the database.  The other I would like to echo as an unordered list.

How hard would something like this be? I have a database with all my users.

I need an empty list and when a user clicks a button "Add me to the list" they are added to the first position in the list

Slots
1. Tom
2.
3.
4.
5.

Later, Jerry wants to be added to the list. So this happens

Slots
1. Jerry
2. Tom
3.
4.
5.

More people join the list

1. Bob
2. John
3. Jerry
4. Tom
5.

Tom gets upset clicks the same button to join the list again, and he's bumped back up to first place. 

Slots
1. Tom
2. Bob
3. John
4. Jerry
5.

Is this possible? And is so, how would I go about getting started on such a thing? I've been using PHP for about a year and a half.

Hello there,

this is a really noob question, but I've no idea on how to make it work without making everything messy and crappy.

I have one SQL table called categories, and another called subcategories.
Inside the subcategories table there's a field named 'parent' that will link it to the correspondent category, so it should look something like this in html:

Code: [Select]
<ul>
<li>Category
<ul>
<li>Subcategory</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

Would you please give this poor guy a hand? =)

Hello everyone,

I found a tutorial on creating a pdf with php and I just tried to create a basic pdf to see if it worked and modify it from there.  Here is the link to the tutorial: http://www.astahost.com/info/tfclt-create-pdf-php-create-fly-pdf-web-server.html

Well, after uploading the following php file to the server and testing it, I got this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function pdf_new() in /home/caresa6/public_html/BubblyBounce.com/admin/pdftest.php on line 2

Here's the code that produced the error:
Code: [Select]
<?php
$mypdf = PDF_new();
PDF_open_file($mypdf, "");
PDF_begin_page($mypdf, 595, 842);
$myfont = PDF_findfont($mypdf, "Times-Roman", "host", 0);
PDF_setfont($mypdf, $myfont, 10);
PDF_show_xy($mypdf, "Sample PDF, constructed by PHP in real-time.", 50, 750);
PDF_show_xy($mypdf, "Made with the PDF libraries for PHP.", 50, 730);
PDF_end_page($mypdf);
PDF_close($mypdf);

$mybuf = PDF_get_buffer($mypdf);
$mylen = strlen($mybuf);
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: $mylen");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=gen01.pdf");
print $mybuf;

PDF_delete($mypdf);
?>

Can anyone help me figure out what to do from here?  I have some PHP knowledge, but I'm treading in uncharted waters with this, so I am totally lost.  Thanks in advance.

I am in the process of creating a like system for a personal website that I am working on. I am trying to pull information from one database and use that to place info into another database. When I do I get resource error #15.

This is my code that I have so far

Code: [Select]
function like_add() {
    $last = $_GET['l'];
    $first = $_GET['f'];
    $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

    $like_sql = "Select * from `counter` where first = ' $first ' and last = '$last '";
    $like_result = mysql_query($like_sql);

    $likes = '<p class="like_button"> Likes ';
    while ($like_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($like_result)) {
        $like = $like_row['likes'];

        $likes .= "&nbsp;$like";
    }
    $likes .= '</p>';
    echo "$likes";
    echo '<form name="like_add_form" action="" method="POST" class="like_add">
<input type="submit" name="like_add" class="like_add_button" value="Like Me" />
</form>';

    if (isset($_POST['like_add'])) {
        $page_id = "SELECT `page_id` FROM `counter` WHERE first = '$first' AND last = '$last'";
        $page_id_result = mysql_query($page_id);
        echo $page_id_result; <----- Here I am trying to pull information from a field in my database to use as a variable and to place in the second database

        $voted = mysql_query("Select * FROM `liked_ip` where ip ='$ip' AND page_id='$page_id_result'"); <----- Here I want to use the information from the first table to place in the second one

        if (mysql_num_rows($voted) != 0) {
            echo "You have all ready liked this post";
        } else {
            mysql_query("INSERT into `liked_ip`(id,page_id,ip) VALUES ('$page_id_result','$ip')");
        }
        if (mysql_num_rows($voted) == 0) {
            mysql_query("UPDATE counter SET `likes` = `likes` + 1 where first = '$first' AND last = '$last'");
        }
    }
}

I know that I have to be doing something so simple that I am just not seeing it this late at night. I may even be completely wrong in all of this. If someone could please help me out I would appreciate it very much.
