PHP - Get Random Quote

So I am trying to make my life easier at work.  I have this idea that I can automate the sales quote via a simple website.  I have the entire product list in MySQL and I can query for the individual catagories etc etc and get them to display.

The display shows the SKU, Description, Price, and a third field to select quantity.  The issue is that once they select a quantity of a paticular line item I need that line item (sku, description, and price fields) to be carried over to the final quote page where the math is done.  Not sure how to key the paticular line item fields off the quantity field.

Any ideas greatly appreciated...

Code: [Select]
<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_prods WHERE cat = 'fruit'";
$target = mysql_query($query);
confirm_query($target);
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($target)) 
 {  
?>
         
<form action="quoter.php"  method="POST">
  <tr>
    <td><input name="sku" type="text" value="<?php echo $row[sku]; ?>" size="20" /></td>
    <td><textarea name="desc" cols="150" rows="2"><?php echo $row[desc]; ?></textarea></td>
    <td><input name="price" type="text" value="<?php echo $row[price]; ?>" size="20" /></td>
    <td><input name="quantity" type="text" value="0" size="3" maxlength="2" /></td>
  </tr>

<?php 
         }
?>

</table>

<input type="hidden" name="cust" value="<?php echo $cust; ?>"></p>
<input type="hidden" name="reg" value="<?php echo $region; ?>"></p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></p>
</form>

If this were an example post in a forum:
Code: [Select]
$post = '[quote author=james]hello this is a quote[/quote]

here is some mor text between the next coming quote

[quote author=david]hello this is another quote[/quote]';
What is the best way to replace the [quotes author=x] with opening html tag
eg:
Code: [Select]
<div class="quote"><div class="quoteTitle">author=x</div>
And then determine if the next is a [/quote ] is an opener or close quote?

And then of course there is the  issue of the user deleting a [/quote] or even placing a [/quote] before an open quote...

Does anyone know of an example to look at?

Hey, I just wondered if someone could help me with this small problem?

Here's the code:


<?php
if($_GET['act'] == "generate_quotes") {

$db = mysql_connect("*", "*", "*") or die ("Unable to connect to database.");
mysql_select_db("quote") or die ("Unable to select database.");

$offset_result = mysql_query( " SELECT FLOOR(RAND() * COUNT(*)) AS `offset` FROM `quote` ");
$offset_row = mysql_fetch_object( $offset_result ); 
$offset = $offset_row->offset;
$result = mysql_query( " SELECT * FROM `quote` LIMIT $offset, 1 " );
$fetch = mysql_fetch_array($result); 


echo "<blockquote>".$fetch['q_quote'];
mysql_close($db);

} else { 

echo "<img src=\"1.png\">";

 }
?>


<a href='gen.php?act=generate_quotes'>Generate</a>


Basically what it does is shows an image until a link is clicked, then the image disappears and some quotes are generated in it's place.

When you click the link, sure enough, the image disappears and the quotes are read from the database. But after that the link doesn't change the quote. [it's meant to randomly cycle through the quotes in the database].

The quote still changes when refreshing the page, but this link:


<a href='gen.php?act=generate_quotes'>Generate</a>


does nothing after 'generate_quotes' has been set.

any ideas how to fix this?

thanks in advance.

Good Day everyone.
I'm looking at creating a quote calculator, it will be like a form with questions about what the user wants to buy or quote and will give out a number in dollars based on what product the user selects from a drop down list.

Example:

What sandwich would you like to buy? (List Items)                                           Price:(prices will be echo here).
1. Roast beef
2. Chicken
3. vegetable
4. Fish

Now if the user selects Roast Beef, the price of the Roast Beef sandwich will be echo or printed.

What would you like on your sandwich? (Check boxes must be use because user may need more then one condiment added.)
1. Ketchup
2. Cheese
3. Mustard
4. Lettuce

Now if the user add ketchup, Cheese, ect, the price will add to the price of the sandwich and echo a total.


Would you like a drink with your order? Again check boxes, user can select more then one drink, price added and totaled.
1. Diet Coke
2. Sprite
3. Root Beer
4. Mountain Dew.

Also I need to be able to change the prices of each product in the script.
The user does not see the price. The price only becomes visible when the item selected and added to the total.

I would like to do this myself but novice to php, I have never done this kind of script befor and have been searching for tutorials and other resources but nothing close to this.

Does anybody know where I can find an example, tutorials?

Thanks everyone.

While playing with some code, I wrote these few lines of script.

$_SESSION["favcolor"] = green;

echo "Session variable is ". $_SESSION["favcolor"] ;

I tested the code and everything worked fine.
But then, I noticed an error in my coding: I had accidentally forgotten the QUOTES around the word GREEN.

I corrected the code

$_SESSION["favcolor"] = "green";

But when I tested it, the page would not open/load.

Then I removed the quote marks and restored the line to it's original state
 

$_SESSION["favcolor"] = green;

And things worked fine.

Shouldn't the quote marks be required?
Why am I having this issue?
Is it really an issue, or should I just accept that it works WITHOUT the quotes and be satisfied with that result?

Hi,

I am able to parse php variable in double quote but not in single quote.

How can I parse in single quote.

Following example shows 2 results and I want same result in both.

First Name :    Zohaib
First Name :    $firstname

Code: [Select]
// Connecting, selecting database
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'password');
mysql_select_db('dbname');

// Performing SQL query
$query = 'SELECT first_name FROM tablename';
$result = mysql_query($query);

// Printing results in HTML
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$firstname=$row['first_name'];
}

echo"<table>
<tr>
<td>First Name : </td>
<td>$firstname</td>
</tr></table>";

echo'<table>
<tr>
<td>First Name : </td>
<td>$firstname</td>
</tr></table>';
What are the changes I need to do to achieve same result.

Any solution ?

- Thanks.

I have a form that people can fill out, and then it echos the string, however right now they can't use single quotes. Below is how I have it settup.
Code: [Select]
$side = '<p>About Me:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Birth Date: October, 23rd, 2010</li>
    <li>Hometown: Rapid City, SD</li>
    <li>Height: 4\'</li>
    <li>Weight: 50lbs</li>
    <li>Foot Size: 4</li>
    <li>Favorite Movie: All of the Shrek Movies!</li>
    <li>Favorite Book: Winnie the Pooh Series</li>
    <li>Favorite Cartoon Character: Eeyore or Donkey from Shrek!</li>
    <li>Favorite TV Show: Anything on Animal Planet!</li>
    <li>Favorite Food: Hay</li>
    <li>Favorite Pro Sports Team: Rapid City Rush</li>
    <li>Favorite Mascot:  Nugget, of course!</li>
    <li>Favorite Game: Donkey Kong!<br />
    &nbsp;</li>
</ul>';
      if ($side != NULL){
         echo "<div class=\"grid_6\" id=\"tertiary\">
         $side
      </div>";
      }else{
 
  }
And I would be able to use $side = "whatever I want to write"; because then they would still need to escape the double quotes with \" if they wanted to put in a link or anything. How do I do this with allowing them to just use single quotes when they enter their data so they don't have to \' (escape the single quote)?

Thanks

This will have been posted before, but I can't find a solution that works.  Most people say to try mysql_real_escape_string, I have tried lots of variations and it doesn't seem to work.

Could anyone help with the below code?  It is part of a form that returns a syntax error when adding a single quotation mark e.g. entering "Bryan's" into the form causes the error.

I'd be really grateful for any assistance.

Steven

P.S. Before anyone mentions it, the mysql connect does work - I just haven't included the full page of code.

Code: [Select]

mysql_connect($dbserver, $dbusername, $dbpassword);
mysql_select_db($dbname);

$sitetitle = htmlentities($_POST[sitetitle]);

$query = mysql_query("UPDATE site_settings SET sitetitle = '$sitetitle'");

echo("<b>Settings Updated!</b>");

I am trying to do the seemingly simple thing - replace all single quotes in text

str_replace ("'", "&acute;", $text);

It does not replace anything.

I trying escaping single quote, using other similar functions - nope. Also tried to google

What I an doing wrong? Any help would ne much appreciated.

I am making a simple script for my friend that uses mod_rewrite, but for testing I don't use the mod_rewrite link.

The page is video.php
The extension is ?title=

I have having a problem when I type the title with a Single Quote in it(').
Example.
video.php?title=The-Sorcerer's-Apprentice
I have str_replace for the dash(-) to be replaced as a space, so that's not the problem. Here's my code.


<?php
if($_GET) {
$title="{$_GET['title']}";
$title = str_replace('_', ' ', $title);
$title = str_replace('-', ' ', $title);
if ($list = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM videos WHERE title='". mysql_real_escape_string($title) ."'") or die (mysql_error())); {
if(mysql_num_rows($list) > 0){
if (mysql_num_rows($list)) {
while($videos=mysql_fetch_array($list)) {
?>
<div id="content">
<center><h3><?php echo $videos['title']; ?></h3>
<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="<?php echo $videos['youtubelink']; ?>"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="<?php echo $videos['youtubelink']; ?>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>
<br/><br/><a onclick="javascript:history.go(-1)" href="#">Go Back</a>

</div>
<?php 
}
}
}
?>

Hi all,


I have an issue on a form that when it gets submitted a slash '/' appears before every quote symbol.
I had help solving the issue on one of the fields (the name field), but then later it was discovered that the slashes appear in all the fields whenever a quote was used (agreed, poor testing).

Can someone be so good to help me solve this? My php knowledge is not so great which is exactly why I'm asking here
Please see my code below. If this problem can be solved in the same manner as the name field was solved, then there are 2 files which will need the edits. They are below:

SQLITE has syntax like

' WHERE MATCH ( 'colname : "one two" )' 
 //My pdo sql query 
$sql .= MATCH 'colname : "?" )'; $pdo->bindValue(1,$text);`

But Pdo placeholders can't have quotes around them. So this does not work. I tried a million variations of the placeholder syntax "?" "" ? "" """ ? """ \" ? \" . But nothing works.

Errors I get : General error: 1 near "?" | 25 column index out of range . Also for this query : MATCH  ( names: ? AND categoryids: ? ) , the error is: `General error: 1 unrecognized token: ":"`

Would really love some help here.. Thanks

Is there a difference between a single quote regex and and double quote regex ?   for example :

<?php
$res1 = preg_match('/shi*t/', $comment);
$res2 = preg_match("/shi*t/", $comment);
?>

Thank you

Let me preface this by saying that I've been using php for a while, but never got extremely advanced, so feel free to slap me about for something stupid...

I'm working through a jQuery & PHP book, and I've noticed that he's wrapping all his column and table names in the apostrophe ` when making MySQL queries .   In the past I've never done this.  What does the ` do?  I understand about single quotes and double quotes, but haven't come across the ` being used.  What's the deal?
