PHP - Make Icon Activate Date Picker

Is it possible to activate shadowbox http://www.shadowbox-js.com (similar to lightbox) if php value = 1?

Hey guys
I wasnt sure if this is a php topic or java script
im trying to make my drop down menu's activate onchange. what confuses me is how do I make php know that the java script is being run. Or have the java script trip my php code.

To know a button has been pressed i use "if (isset['_POST'])"


 echo '<select name="siege_list" id="siege_list">';

foreach($name as $key => $value) {        

echo '<option value="' . $value['name'] . '" ' . ($value['name'] == $current1
['name'] ? 'selected="selected"' : '') . '> ' . $value['name'] . '</options>';
}                           
echo '</select><input type="submit" id="siege_planet" onchange="this.form.submit()">';    
         

I'm using a wordpress theme that always tries to load a specific search tab first. ive tried figuring out if theres a way to make the second tab load first but cant seem to get it. hopefully someone can help a rookie like myself understand it

for a live "demo" to get a sense of what im talking about you can see it here

http://demo.woothemes.com/estate/

the Search Our Properties tab loads first. I want it to load the "Search the MLS" tab first or only display and load that one to be honest. Code: [Select]

Some help would be great here.
The following snippets work, but I am unable to figure out how to activate the error message "You did not select a name for editing".
Both of the other error codes work but if I input 'given' and 'family' and forget to select the relevant radio button, the error message doesn't work.
No other problems with the code.

Code: [Select]
<html>
<table>
<?php
// Query member data from the database
$query1 = mysql_query("SELECT userId FROM users WHERE managerId='".$recid."' AND userGroup='".$group2."' ORDER BY userId ASC");
while($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($query1))
{
$firstGroup .=$row1['userId']. ' <input type="radio" name="snames" value="'.$row1['userId'].'" /> ' . "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br>";
}
?>

Hey,

I'm using a script which allows you to click on a calendar to select the date to submit to the database.

The date is submitted like this: 2014-02-08

Is there a really simple way to prevent rows showing if the date is in the past?

Something like this:
if($currentdate < 2014-02-08 || $currentdate == 2014-02-08) {

}

Thanks very much,
Jack

Hi

I have website where users can upload pictures on server. Sometimes it take 4-5 seconds until the upload it's finish.
What can I do that when I click on upload button an icon appear in middle of the screen and disappear then the pictures was finish uploading.

Thanks

I've been browsing the foams for a while now but haven't posted until now. Anyway,

I have a table containing a list of items, I want a column to have either a red or a green icon depending on the state I set manually. My question is, how would I best set this up? I'd like to be able to have a simple checkbox admin page that when saved the other page reflects the state either 0 (inactive) or 1 (active), what would be the best way of storing these values and then reading them again? By this I mean a text file, MySQL, etc.

I have some knowledge of PHP and MySQL, though not a massive amount.

Hello all,

Hello. I'm new to pHp and I would like to know how to get my $date_posted to read as March 12, 2012, instead of 2012-12-03.
Here is the code:
Code: [Select]
<?php

$sql = " SELECT id, title, date_posted, summary FROM blog_posts ORDER BY date_posted ASC LIMIT 10 ";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$id = $row['id'];
$title = $row['title'];
$date_posted = $row['date_posted'];
$summary = $row['summary'];

echo "<h3>$title</h3>\n";
echo "<p>$date_posted</p>\n";
echo "<p>$summary</p>\n";
echo "<p><a href=\"post.php?id=$id\" title=\"Read More\">Read More...</a></p>\n";
}

?>
I have tried the date() function but it always updates with the current time & date so I'm a little confused on how I get this to work.

Alright, I have a Datetime field in my database which I'm trying to store information in. Here is my code to get my Datetime, however it's returning to me the wrong date. It's returning:
1969-12-31 19:00:00

$mysqldate = date( 'Y-m-d H:i:s', $phpdate );
$phpdate = strtotime( $mysqldate );
echo $mysqldate;


Is there something wrong with it?

I have tried a large number of "solutions" to  this but everytime I use them I see 0000-00-00 in my date field instead of  the date even though I echoed and can see that the date looks correct.

Here's where I'm at:
I have a drop down for the month (1-12) and date fields (1-31) as well as a text input field for the year.  Using the POST array, I  have combined them into the xxxx-xx-xx format that I am using in my field as a date field in mysql. 

<code>
$date_value =$_POST['year'].'-'.$_POST['month'].'-'.$_POST['day'];
echo $date_value;
</code>

This outputs 2012-5-7 in my test echo but 0000-00-00 in the database.

I have tried unsuccessfully to use in a numberof suggested versions of:
strtotime()
mktime

Any help would be extremely appreciated.
I am aware that I need to validate this data and insure  that it is a valid date. That I'm okay with. I would like some help on getting it into the database.

Hi,

I have a job listing website which displays the closing date of applications using:

$expired_date

(This displays a date such as 31st December 2019)

I am trying to show a countdown/number of days left until the closing date.

I have put this together, but I can't get it to show the number of days.

                    <?php 
                    $expired_date = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_job_expires', true );
                    $hide_expiration = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_hide_expiration', true );
                    if(empty($hide_expiration )) {
                        if(!empty($expired_date)) { ?>
                                <span><?php echo date_i18n( get_option( 'date_format' ), strtotime( get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_job_expires', true ) ) ) ?></span>
                    
                    <?php
                                        $datetime1 = new DateTime($expired_date);
                                        $datetime2 = date('d');
                                        $interval = $datetime1->diff($datetime2);
                                        echo $interval->d;

                     ?>
                        <?php }
                    } 
                    ?>

Can anyone help me with what I have wrong?

Many thanks

(continuing from topic title)
So if I set a date of July 7 2011 into my script, hard coded in, I would like the current date to be checked against the hard coded date, and return true if the current date is within a week leading up to the hard coded date.

How could I go about doing this easily?

I've been researching dates in php but I can't seem to work out the best way to achieve what I'm after.

Cheers

I'm getting this Time Zone error.
Perhaps it's a compatibility issue with PHP 5.3. Looked all over for an answer without finding one.
Here is the error message


Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings.
You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function.
In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning,
you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for 'EST/-5.0/no DST'
instead in /blocked.php on line 41
12/02/12

Here is the code. Line 41 is near the bottom, the one with the d,m,y.  Perhaps the echo date (d/m/y") needs to be changed. Appreciate any help!

Code: [Select]

Hi Guys..

How can I change a date on the fly ?
Everything is UTC on my server.

How can I change a date to something else on the fly?

Ie:

$timezone = "cet";
$datetime = "2011-09-04 19:53:00";

echo $datetime($timezone);

So I can give it a datetime and have it echo the datetime as if it were in the other timezone?

Thanks
Graham
