What whI wanne have when I click Uncategorised that in the category.php page only post are showing that have been made in Uncategorised category
function get_posts() {
$sql = "SELECT
`blog`.`post_id` AS `id`,
`blog`.`post_title` AS `title`,
LEFT(`blog`.`post_body`, 512) AS `preview`,

`blog_categories`.`name` AS `category_name`,

INNER JOIN `blog_categories` ON `blog_categories`.`id` = `blog`.`cat_id`
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT
`post_id`,
COUNT(`comment_id`) AS `total_comments`,
MAX(`comment_date`) AS `last_comment`
FROM `blog_comments`
GROUP BY `post_id`
) AS `blog_comments`
ON `blog`.`post_id` = `blog_comments`.`post_id`
ORDER BY `blog`.`post_date` DESC";
$posts = mysql_query($sql);
$rows = array();
while (($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($posts)) !== false) {
$rows[]= array(
'id' => $row['id'],
'title' => $row['title'],
'preview' => $row['preview'],
'user' => $row['user'],
'date' => $row['date'],
'category_id' => $row['category_id'],
'category_name' => $row['category_name'],
'total_comments' => ($row['total_comments'] === null) ? 0 : $row['total_comments'],
'last_comments' => ($row['last_comment'] === null) ? 'never' : $row['last_comment']
);
}
return $rows;
}
function get_post($pid) {
$pid = (int)$pid;
$sql = "SELECT
`post_title` AS `title`,
`post_body` AS `body`,
`post_user` AS `user`,
`blog_categories`.`id` AS `category_id`,

WHERE `post_id` = '$pid'";
$post = mysql_query($sql);
$post = mysql_fetch_assoc($post);
$post['blog_comments'] = get_comments($pid);
return $post;
}
The old way was like this
if ( isset($cat_id)) {
$cat_id = (int) $cat_id;
$query .= " WHERE `blog_categories`.`id` = $cat_id";
}
Database blog_categories id | name | ----------- 4 Uncategorised 1 Youtube blog post_id | cat_id | post_title | post_body | post_user | post_date ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 | 1 | Youtube | Youtube link | Admin | 2020-09-13 16:10:53 Web server Apache/2.2.21 (Win64) PHP/5.3.10 MySQL-client versie: mysqlnd 5.0.8-dev - 20102224 - $Revision: 321634 $ PHP uitbreiding: mysqli Documentatie phpMyAdmin Versie informatie: 3.4.10.1, meest recente versie: 5.0.2 I hope someone can help me with this problem Similar TutorialsHello, I have been searching and trying all sorts of ways to get my sub categories drop down to show the correct info after selecting a category from the main drop down but im getting stuck. It's pulling the categories and sub categories from the mysql database fine but no matter which main category i pick it keeps showing the same result in the sub category. My brother said i need to use some sort of onchange do this so the sub category list refreshs but everything i have tried doesn't work.. PLEASE could some one help. MANY MANY THANKS This is the category form Code: [Select] <select name="job_cats" style="width:165px"> <?PHP $query1 = "SELECT * FROM job_cats"; $result1 = mysql_query($query1) or die ("query 1 failed"); $count1 = mysql_num_rows($result1); for ($i = 0; $i < $count1; $i++) { $row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1); $job_cats_title1 = $row1['title']; $job_cats_id1 = $row1['id']; echo '<option value="'.$job_cats_id1.'">'.$job_cats_title1.'</option>'; echo $job_cats_id1; } ?> </select> this would echo this in the main category list: cat1 cat2 cat3 cat4 this is the sub category form Code: [Select] <select name="job_sub_cats" style="width:165px"> <?PHP $query1 = "SELECT * FROM job_sub_cats WHERE job_cats_id = $job_cats_id1"; $result1 = mysql_query($query1) or die ("query 1 failed"); $count1 = mysql_num_rows($result1); for ($i = 0; $i < $count1; $i++) { $row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1); $sub_cats_id1 = $row1['id']; $sub_cats_title1 = $row1['subTitle']; $cats_id1 = $row1['job_cats_id']; echo '<option value="'.$sub_cats_id1.'">'.$cats_id1.'</option>'; } ?> </select> this should echo this: 1 2 3 4 but it keeps echoing just the number 4. THANKS PLEASE HELP ricky My query gets the results and orders by one of the fields. Once I get the MySQL results I would like to find the first entry that has a letter as the first character of the same field that the list was ordered by, then split the results in to two parts and swap them. So that the results that have a letter at the start of the same sorted field are as the begining and the results that have the numbers as the start at the end of the array. But also so that the array works the same way as the original results string, so i can use say $results['mysqlfield'] Code: [Select] <? $out = preg_replace('/^(.{701}[^.]*).*/i','$1.',$detrsltnewsrow[news_desc]); echo $out; ?> </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="para" style="padding-left:10px;"> <?= substr(stripslashes(trim($detrsltnewsrow[news_desc])),701) ?> </td></tr> I have the above snippet.. The first php statement, basically grasp the first 701 characters with the closet next stop "." character and out puts it. then out puts the HTML tags I have a problem with the second statement. I want to output anything after what has been outputted by: Code: [Select] <? $out = preg_replace('/^(.{701}[^.]*).*/i','$1.',$detrsltnewsrow[news_desc]); echo $out; ?> So need the correct syntax for Code: [Select] <?= substr(stripslashes(trim($detrsltnewsrow[news_desc])),701) ?> Currently it breaks at exactly the 701 character, want it to continue from the sentence the first code ended in. Hope I am in the right area. I am working on a project which is sort of a business directory. I have a category table, a sub-category table then the actual account table. So a user clicks on the category, then selects the sub-category to view information of accounts in that category, and then be able to click to see the full profile. Here's where I am getting stuck. A user may be listed in more than one sub. As an example, let's say a parent is Cars, then subs might be New, Used, Parts, etc. Now a particular user might be listed under all three subs. How can I link them? I have my cat/sub linked via parent/child id's. However, how can I get the user to be linked to multiple subs? Would I need to create a separate table to do similar to parent/child of the categories? If so, then how would I insert the multiple id's into the table? I assume at this point that I would use drop downs for the subs. I am having a real hard time wrapping my head around this so any help is greatly appreciated. So I am having some difficulties with a category system. I want my code to search the database an unlimited amount of times to the very last directory and then display it in tree view on my screen. I'm having some trouble because I am having to specify how many depths the code will search. How can I get it to do this on it's own? Currently my code does this...
<?php
// Establish SQL Connection.
$mysqli = mysqli_connect( $sql['host'], $sql['user'], $sql['pass'], $sql['db'] ) or die( "DARN");
$query = $mysqli->query( "SELECT * FROM folders ORDER BY name ASC" );
$num_rows = $query->num_rows;
echo "Found <b>" . $num_rows . "</b> row(s) in the database!<br>";
while ( $row = mysqli_fetch_array( $query ) )
{
// DO NOT REMOVE
$id = $row['id'];
$name = $row['name'];
$parent = $row['parent'];
/***************************************************************************************************/
if ( $parent == 0 )
{
echo $id . " " . $name . " " . $parent . "<br>";
$query2 = $mysqli->query( "SELECT * FROM folders WHERE parent = " . $id . " ORDER BY name ASC" );
while ( $row2 = mysqli_fetch_array( $query2 ) )
{
echo " " . $row2['name'] . "<br>";
}
}
}
?>
I know it's messy, doing the best I can.
DB looks a little like this...

I'm developing a WordPress site and want to list posts (products) by category. I'm using Advanced Custom Fields and have set up the taxonomy of 'category'. I just want to produce a heading for that category and then list all of the posts with that category assigned. Please see below functions.php excerpt and section-archive.php excerpt. Can anyone please help??? Massive good karma if you can. ----------------------- functions.php -------------------------------------- //Assign Category to Products
function taxonomy ()
$args = array (
}; ?> ------------------------- section-archive.php ------------------------------------------------ <?php if(have_posts()):while(have_posts()): the_post();?>
****** if product category= this ***** Category heading ****** Posts ******* Else ****** if product category= this2 ***** Category heading ****** Posts **** etc

I have created a form which allows people to add data to a database. However, I want to replicate the form across several pages and give each page a category. For example, if I have a website based on sport. I have a page which enters information into the baseball category, a page which enters information into the ice hockey category, a page which enters information into the soccer category etc. Can someone advise how I would do this? Hey there, so as a personal project, I've been working on creating a forum software. You can check out what I have so far he https://www.taziamoma.com/Forum/index.php What I'm currently having trouble with right now is connecting a Category with a forum with the threads inside of it.

How do I link that in the database and how do I indicate which threads belongs to which forums? hi i hv built a small posting system, i hv built few categories like this in mysql i hv these tables Categories table: id catname Post Table: id postbody posttile date catid so i am getting posts with catid for related posts like http://localhost/site/index.php?action=category&cat=1 so where $_GET['cat'] is 1 it display posts from that category 1, now what i need is when i post a new post i hv choice to assign multiple categories to one post, so a post could be in cat1 and in cat2 as well . please any idea how can i do that? i was thinking to make a new rows in posts table for each category and set it to 0 or 1 , and when i submit new post it will set 1 to those categories which i select upon writing post. but if i have like 20 categories i need to add more 20 rows in posts table. is there any other better way i can accomplish this?

Hello everyone, I am currently working on the script taken from www.phpwebcommerce.com I am only a beginner and have been using it in a little project for an online game just to help my mates be able to trade items and such. I have managed to get almost everything sorted apart from one thing. The function which gets the categories for a drop down select box: Code: [Select] /* Generate combo box options containing the categories we have. if $catId is set then that category is selected */ function buildCategoryOptions($catId = 0) { $sql = "SELECT cat_id, cat_parent_id, cat_name FROM tbl_category ORDER BY cat_id"; $result = dbQuery($sql) or die('Cannot get Product. ' . mysql_error()); $categories = array(); while($row = dbFetchArray($result)) { list($id, $parentId, $name) = $row; if ($parentId == 0) { // we create a new array for each top level categories $categories[$id] = array('name' => $name, 'children' => array()); } else { // the child categories are put int the parent category's array $categories[$parentId]['children'][] = array('id' => $id, 'name' => $name); } } // build combo box options $list = ''; foreach ($categories as $key => $value) { $name = $value['name']; $children = $value['children']; $list .= "<optgroup label=\"$name\">"; foreach ($children as $child) { $list .= "<option value=\"{$child['id']}\""; if ($child['id'] == $catId) { $list.= " selected"; } $list .= ">{$child['name']}</option>\r\n"; } $list .= "</optgroup>"; } return $list; } Basically the problem is that it only creates a category list of two levels e.g. Parent Child and I wish to be able to have more sub categories e.g. Parent Child Child Child Is there anyway of adapting this code so it can do something like that? Many thanks for any help. Hi Guys, I've been using PHP for a few years now but for some reason I can never seem to get my head around arrays, basically I have a blog site that I want to show all posts that have been posted in public categories but ignore those in the private categories, I had the idea to put all the private category ID's into an array and use that to check against the posts, however my array isn't working out the way I'd hoped. This is what I have: $isPrivate = mysql_query("SELECT categoryID FROM mod_cat WHERE isPrivate =1") or die (mysql_error()); while ($isPrivateList = mysql_fetch_array($isPrivate, MYSQL_NUM)) { $ignoreList = $isPrivateList; } However this isn't working at all. I know its wrong I just can't work out how to make it right. This is the mySQL I want to use it with: mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) AS total_entries FROM mod_posts WHERE articlePosted =1 AND articleCat != $ignorelist") Could anyone please help me? Thanks in advance. Hi, I have been working on a directory/cms script (first large script to build from scratch).

I am thinking some sort of array, but im not quite sure how to go about it and was hoping maybe someone could give me a starting point I could work from. My categories table is like this: -------------------------- | cat_id | cat_name | -------------------------- Many thanks Eoin I'm trying to make one big array with my websites menu that has the categorys and the products i'm using code i found at http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=326419.msg1536842#msg1536842 its working fine till i try get the sub category and its products into the array $cats = array( 0 => array( 'categoryID' => 1, 'name' => 'Menu', 'parent' => 0) ,1 => array( 'categoryID' => 50, 'name' => 'Takeaway', 'parent' => 60) ); //root of the category $categorys = array( 1 => array( 1 => array( 'categoryID' => 6 , 'name' => 'Breads' , 'parent' => 1 ) ,0 => array( 'categoryID' => 2 , 'name' => 'Drinks' , 'parent' => 1 ) ,2 => array( 'categoryID' => 7 , 'name' => 'Salads' , 'parent' => 1 ) ) ,2 => array( 0 => array( 'categoryID' => 4 , 'name' => 'Tea' , 'parent' => 2 ) ,1 => array( 'categoryID' => 18 , 'name' => 'Coffee' , 'parent' => 2 ) ) ); // the category themselfs $product = array(6 => array( 0 => array('productID' => 1, 'categoryID' => 6,'name' => 'Plain Bread', 'description' => 'description') ,1 => array('productID' => 2, 'categoryID' => 6, 'name' => 'Garlic Bread', 'description' => 'description') ) ,7 => array( 0 => array('productID' => 44, 'categoryID' => 7, 'name' => 'Garden Salad', 'description' => 'description') ,1 => array('productID' => 45, 'categoryID' => 7, 'name' => 'Greek Salad', 'description' => 'description') ) ,4 => array( 0 => array('productID' => 74, 'categoryID' => 4, 'name' => 'Green Tea', 'description' => 'description') ) ,18 => array( 0 => array('productID' => 75, 'categoryID' => 18, 'name' => 'Espresso', 'description' => 'description') ) ); // the products if(is_array($cats)) { foreach($cats as $cat) { if(is_array($categorys[$cat['categoryID']])) { foreach($categorys[$cat['categoryID']] as $category) { if(is_array($categorys[$category['categoryID']])) { foreach ($categorys[$category['categoryID']] as $subcat){ $subcat['product'] = $product[$subcat['categoryID']]; $subprod[] = $subcat; //have tryed using parent $subprod[$subcat['parent']] but it over rides it self each time } } $category['product'] = $product[$category['categoryID']]; $category['subcategory'] = $subprod; // here is where I'm having problem $this_category[] = $category; } } if(!empty($this_category)){ $ncategory[] = array($cat,$this_category); } $this_category = array(); } } print_r($ncategory); thank you for your time sorry for any spelling or grammar errors |
