PHP - How To Create Notifications

I'm using a php $_POST variable as the name of a file that I want to create.  fopen() , according to my understanding open the file if it exists or creates it if it doesn't.   
$Ref = $_POST['Ref'];
I using each reference element of $Ref as the name of a file in a certain directory.  So if $Ref[$i] exists as a file name in a certain directory, append to the file, if it doesn't create the file in that directory and write to it.   Do I use the file path of the file within fopen()?  fopen(./References/$Ref,a) or  fopen(./References/$Ref,w)? 

Hey Everyone,

I need to have the ability to create PDF/X1A documents.  My initial thoughts are it would be easy as i have created PDFs in the past with no hassle.  I have been trawling the google and various blogs but with no joy.

Does anyone have any experience creating PDF/X1A documents in PHP ? Is it possible ?

When creating a PHP document we use echo ''; to wrap HTML into PHP, so why does it seem to me that people always say to create a form using PHP you must break it up by using HTML to show the form itself?

Is there a way to create the form, and do all that is required using PHP and wrapping PHP around HTML to make it work?

I can't imagine its impossible.

I am trying create my xml file in this format:
Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

  <vid desc="last 5 minutes of Set 1" contenu="MC Hammer ..." src="videos/set2_third_5min.flv" thumb="thumbs/set2_third.png" />

  </playlist>[/color]

I'm not having trouble getting and looping through the data from mySQL.
I'm getting confused with what's a child element, attribute node, and attribute value.

Can someone who has worked with the DOMDocument steer me in the right direction?
sample code is the best request 

Thanks!

I am using the following code:

Code: [Select]
<?php 
 $target = "images/"; 
 $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; 
 $ok=1; 
 if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
 {
 echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded";
 } 
 else {
 echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
 }
 ?>
I am using this to upload photos to the directory called 'images'.

How could I change this code so that I can choose an existing directory to upload it to and also create a new directory to upload it to if I wanted?

Hello,

I am creating zip file of multiple files using PHP and downloading it.

Problem is that: zip file is getting extracted by only WinRAR, its not getti ng extracted by default windows extracter or other software.

Here is code which I have written -

            $file_folder = 'referral-resume/';
            if(extension_loaded('zip'))
            { 
                if(isset($_POST['files']) and count($_POST['files']) > 0)
                {     
                    $zip = new ZipArchive();
                    $zip_name = "referralresumes".time().".zip";
                    if($zip->open($zip_name, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)!==TRUE)
                    { 
                        $error .= "* Sorry ZIP creation failed at this time";
                    }
                    foreach($_POST['files'] as $file){ 
                        $zip->addFromString(basename($file_folder.$file),  file_get_contents($file_folder.$file));  
 
                    }
                    $zip->close();
                    if(file_exists($zip_name)){
                        header('Content-type: application/zip');
                        header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$zip_name.'"');
                        readfile($zip_name);
                        unlink($zip_name);
                    }
 
                }
                else{
                    $error .= "* Please select file to zip ";
                }    
            }
            else{
                $error .= "* You dont have ZIP extension";
            }
 

I would like to create something like foursquare badges. When ppl upload files, the most downloaded files will have a new badge, how do i create that?

For the life of me I can not figure out why this is not creating the table in the database.  Second set of eyes would be great.

 

function install_kudos() {
 	
 	    global $wpdb;
        $table_name = $wpdb->prefix . 'acikudosnew';
 
        if ($wpdb->get_var('SHOW TABLES LIKE ' .$table_name) != $table_name) 
        {
	    $sql = "CREATE TABLE $table_name (
		kudoid int(9) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
        kudomsg text NOT NULL,
        kudoagent text NON NULL,
        kudocust text NOT NULL,
        kudoacct int(16) NOT NULL,
        kudoclient varchar(100) NOT NULL,
        kudoloc text NOT NULL,
        kudoentry TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
        kudoadmin text NOT NULL,
		kudopic varchar(55) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
		PRIMARY KEY  (kudoid) )";
	       
	require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php' );
	dbDelta( $sql );
	}
 	
 }
  
register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'install_kudos');

 

 

I have a simple form and I run my script without any errors. I click my btn and I would like to see my echo errors but no errors show up when I have no value in textboxes. I have tried if(isset($_Post["submit"])) and if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "post") What I think is nether of there ifs are becoming valid on my btn click.

$connection = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
//if(isset($_Post["submit"]))
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "post")
{
    if(empty(trim($_Post["name"]))) {
        $nameerror = "Name is required";
    }
    else {
        $namesafe = mysqli_real_escape_string($connection, $_Post["name"]);
    }
    if(empty(trim($_Post["two"]))) {
        $twoerror = "Two is required";
    }
    else {
        $twosafe = mysqli_real_escape_string($connection, $_Post["two"]);

Hi all

I'm trying to create an XML file to be used within Excel.  The data is drawn dynamically from my database depending on the information supplied by the user.

However when I run it, I get a complain from Excel about some missing whitespace.

any ideas?
