PHP - Calling Functions In Other Files

I have a script I am putting together that simulate a cricket game. The only issue is, that there are a huge number of functions because there doesn't seem to be any other way to do this properly. As well as this, there a while() loop and all this seems to be leading to the page reaching a max 30 second timeout when generating the result.

My code is attached below, it is quite messy at the moment because i've just be working on it, but I was wondering if anyone has any solutions of how I can speed this up or change to prevent a timeout:

So far I have managed to create an upload process which uploads a picture, updates the database on file location and then tries to upload the db a 2nd time to update the Thumbnails file location (i tried updating the thumbnails location in one go and for some reason this causes failure)

But the main problem is that it doesn't upload some files

Here is my upload.php

<?php
include 'dbconnect.php';

$statusMsg = '';

$Title = $conn -> real_escape_string($_POST['Title']) ; 
$BodyText = $conn -> real_escape_string($_POST['ThreadBody']) ; 
	 

// File upload path
$targetDir = "upload/";
$fileName = basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$targetFilePath = $targetDir . $fileName;
$fileType = pathinfo($targetFilePath,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$Thumbnail = "upload/Thumbnails/'$fileName'";

if(isset($_POST["submit"]) && !empty($_FILES["file"]["name"])){
    // Allow certain file formats
    $allowTypes = array('jpg','png','jpeg','gif','pdf', "webm", "mp4");
    if(in_array($fileType, $allowTypes)){

        // Upload file to server
        if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $targetFilePath)){

            // Insert image file name into database
            $insert = $conn->query("INSERT into Threads (Title, ThreadBody, filename) VALUES ('$Title', '$BodyText', '$fileName')");
            if($insert){
               $statusMsg = "The file ".$fileName. " has been uploaded successfully."; 

		$targetFilePathArg = escapeshellarg($targetFilePath);
		$output=null;
		$retval=null;
		 //exec("convert $targetFilePathArg -resize 300x200 ./upload/Thumbnails/'$fileName'", $output, $retval);
		 exec("convert $targetFilePathArg -resize 200x200 $Thumbnail", $output, $retval);
		echo "REturned with status $retval and output:\n" ; 
		if ($retval == null) { 
		echo "Retval is null\n" ;
		echo "Thumbnail equals $Thumbnail\n" ; 
		}

            }else{
                $statusMsg = "File upload failed, please try again.";
            } 
        }else{
            $statusMsg = "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
        }
    }else{
        $statusMsg = 'Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, mp4, webm & PDF files are allowed to upload.';
    }
}else{
    $statusMsg = 'Please select a file to upload.';
}

//Update SQL db by setting the thumbnail column to equal $Thumbnail
$update = $conn->query("update Threads set thumbnail = '$Thumbnail' where filename = '$fileName'");
            if($update){
               $statusMsg = "Updated the thumbnail to sql correctly.";
		echo $statusMsg ;  } 
else 
{ echo "\n Failed to update Thumbnail. Thumbnail equals $Thumbnail" ; } 


// Display status message
echo $statusMsg;
?>

And this does work on most files however it is not working on a 9.9mb png file  which is named "test.png" I tested on another 3.3 mb gif file and that failed too?

For some reason it returns the following

Updated the thumbnail to sql correctly.Updated the thumbnail to sql correctly.

Whereas on the files it works on it returns

REturned with status 0 and output: Retval is null Thumbnail equals upload/Thumbnails/'rainbow-trh-stache.gif' Failed to update Thumbnail. Thumbnail equals upload/Thumbnails/'rainbow-trh-stache.gif'The file rainbow-trh-stache.gif has been uploaded successfully.

Any idea on why this is?

Hello


I have a simple question about file handling...


Is it possible to list all files in directories / subdirectories, and then read ALL files in those dirs,
and put the content of their file into an array?

Like this:

array:
[SomePath/test.php] = "All In this php file is being read by a new smart function!";
[SomePath/Weird/hello.txt = "Hello world. This is me and im just trying to get some help!";

and so on, until no further files exists in that rootdir.

All my attempts went totally crazy and none of them works... therefore i need to ask you for help.


Do you have any ideas how to do this?
If so, how can I be able to do it?


Thanks in Advance, pros

I am using WPSQT plugin in my blog site .I code some files in PHP also.how to add that files in plugin files.  

Hello,

I am having some issues with a project I am working on.
I am calling a php file on another server using
Code: [Select]
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.website.com/test/file.php"></script>

I have the correct type header in my php file and the php outputs JS.
example
Code: [Select]
echo "document.write(\"some stuff\");";

that kind of thing happens alot

I also have it outputting a few JS functions,
example
Code: [Select]
echo 'function dostuff(){ stuff }';

the problem I am having is when I add the JS call to the page that calls the php it does nothing
I am using document.ready

I am not really sure where to go from here, I know php well enough to do anything I need but I do not know JS at all

I can not post the actual source code, I know that would be much easier to troubleshoot this but this is something I just can not do.
Also this needs to be done this way, I need to call to php files on another server so they can do some stuff and then use JS to change some things on another page on another server.

This is a content locker, a lot like CPALead and things like that.

What am I missing?

Any help is greatly appreciated

i have a database which contains a table named girls with three columns ...Serial(int) name(text) hits(int)

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","gaurav","");
mysql_selectdb("website",$con);
$index1 = rand(1,$count);
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM girls WHERE Serial=$index1");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($sql);
$name1 = $row['name'];
$hits1 = $row['hits'];

echo <<<ECO
<html>
<script language="javascript">
increment(){
// some php code to increase the hits in database where name = $name1
}
</script>
<input type="button" value="increment" onclick="increment();" name="button">
</html>
ECO;
?>

sorry for the code to be really haphazard..i jst started with php.....now i dont know wat code to put to increment the hits in increment function since it would also use varialble $name1 and $index1.....

How can i call a specific row when ever a like.

example :

Code: [Select]
$record = mysql_query("select * from table_name");
($getValue= mysql_fetch_row($record)   //i'm not sure what should i use. should i use mysql_fetch_array, mysql_ fetch_ assoc, mysql_ fetch_ object,  mysql_ field_ name and etc.

print $getValue[$column_name][0];

0 = value 1st row in the database/table_name
1 = value 2nd row in the database/table_name
2 = value 3rd row in the database/table_name
......
....
......
.....
etc.

is there a code i can do except from using sql_fetch_array then loop and put in into a multidimensional array?

I have a PHP config file called config.php.

inside the file is simular to this:

Quote

<?php
class JConfig {
   var $offline = '0';
   var $editor = 'tinymce';
   var $list_limit = '20';
}
?>


From another file, i have included config.php, but how do I call $editor to get "tinymce"?

Thanks

This is probably a quick one. I am pretty new to OOP, in fact somewhat a novice. I am working a lot more with objects lately as my previous "flat" php experience doesn't allow me to create clean and expandable applications. Of course though, questions will always pop up (that's what you guys are for?)

One concept I am having trouble understanding, is the method to call a class.

What is the difference between?:

Code: [Select]
<?php $cat = new class(); ?>
and just simply:

Code: [Select]
<?php  new class(); ?>
Both appear to have the same output from my small amount of practice, but the first way seems strange to me. Being that I am very new to OO PHP, the first way looks like it is just defining a var. But in reality it is calling the class and running it? This seems very backwards to me and I am having a hell of a time understanding it. I am aware that the first way seems to be the "proper" way, but just can't fathom it.

Could someone explain this to me a little further?
thanks much,

I am using simple machines forum, and by placing a link to ssi.php in the top of my php page Code: [Select]
<?php require_once('/forum/SSI.php');?>I am able to use some ssi functions. My problem is calling another function from within a function. My first function is this:
Code: [Select]
<?php

$allowed_groups = array(1,5);
$can_see = FALSE;
foreach ($allowed_groups as $allowed)
if (in_array($allowed, $user_info['groups']))
{
$can_see = TRUE;
break;
}

if ($can_see)
{
echo '
<div>
this is text that i want certain groups to see
</div>';
}
else
{
//message or section to show if they are not allowed.
echo 'this is text that i dont want certain groups to see';



}
?>
This is my second function:
Code: [Select]
<?php ssi_welcome(); ?>
I want to put the second function inside the first function, like so:
Code: [Select]
if ($can_see)
{
echo '
<div>
<?php ssi_welcome(); ?>
</div>';
this just gives me the "<?php ssi_welcome(); ?>" displayed on the actual site, it is not calling the separate function.

I have tried different approaches, e.g. $function ssi_welcome;  but all it does is display this as text as well..

Please can some one point me in the right direction. Thank you

Hi,

I'm currently in the process of making my first website.

The problem is that I'm trying to change the language the website will be in by pressing a button that will call the setlocale() function.
But I can't seem to get it to work. From what I read on the internet you can't use php in javascript because it's serverside. But I can't really think of an alternative way of doing this. Any sugestions?


This is my code btw for what it's worth.


  Code: [Select]
         
                <form action="SetLangEN()" >
                      <input type="image" src="../images/ENflag.jpg" alt= "EN" width="20px"
                   height="15px"  onclick="SetLangEN()" />   
                    </form>
                   
         
                    </form>
                 </div>
             
             <script type="text/javascript">             
             function SetLangEN() {
                <?php   
                 setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US");  ?> }
             </script>

Hi, I got a little problem with calling a PHP function from a href.
I got my site all set up, and am calling the function like this:

Code: [Select]
<?php echo '<a href="'.changeRecentPosts().'" class="image">' ?>
This does indeed work, but it calls the function every time I refresh my page.. Which isn't the effect I was trying to achieve.

I tried to change it to : Code: [Select]
<?php echo '<a href="#" onClick="'.changeRecentPosts().'" class="image">' ?> But that didn't work either.

It also seems it only calls it when I refresh my page, but never when I click it (I guess because PHP is handeled before HTML or something similar?).

If you can think of any way (even in AJAX, or whatever other language...) feel free to, I think I can figure it all out.

Thank you! 

I define a Javascript in the <head> section of a .php file and call it from the <body> section with the following:
echo "<script language='javascript'>function();</script>".
The function displays a confirm box with the normal Cancel and OK buttons just fine, but I want to capture the function return of true or false for which button was selected.
So far I haven't found a way to get return a value from the function. Any ideas???

i have a constructor
  Quote

public function __construct(){
            // check if any action related to this page was generated
            if(isset($_GET['action'])){
                $this->action = ucwords($_GET['action']) . '()';
                self::{$this->maction};
                               
            }
           
            //code to generate the list of all the systems users
            $user = new userDAO;
            $this->results = $user->fetchAll();
       } 

   


if action is present in the querystring, eg. delete, it would be stored into $this->action as Delete().  Similarly, if the action was edit, it would be stored as Edit(). My intent is to call the method named Delete() or Edit() depending upon which action was generated. I have defined the methods in the same class. Once i assign the current action to the $this->action, i want to call the method without explicitly specifying the method name....

here i have tried self::$this->action....
i even tried $this->action only

but its not working? i think the string stored in the self::$this->action is not being interpolated? or....sth. i dont know. pls help out guys
       

How can I make a link that posts to a script? I using just a link but since it doesn't post I just get a URL with a variable and I can't do anything with it. 

If you need anything else then just ask
