PHP - Generate Variables In While Loop?

Hello All,

Attached are 2 screenshots of the form and output for better reference.

What I am trying to do is select all or some checkboxes and for those boxes that are checked, echo out their Payment Method.

---If a checkbox is checked but the Payment Method box == select, give an error.

---If checkbox is checked and Payment Method != select, echo out the ID and selection from the drop down box.

Currently, I am echoing the correct ID(s) when certain boxes are checked, but I'm getting every drop down box selection when the corresponding box is not selected.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the HTML / PHP Form:

$results .= '<table align="center" width="70%" border="0" bgcolor="'.$bg.'" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" class="resultsUnderline">';
$results .= '<tr>';
$results .= '<td width="30%" align="left">'.'<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="'.$app_pmt_id.'" id="checkbox" />'
.$full.'<FONT size="1" color="maroon"> ( '.$app_id.' )</FONT></td>';
$results .= '<td width="30%" align="center">'.$created.'</td>';
$results .= '<td width="20%" align="center">
<select name="pay_method[]" class="drop" id="pay_method">
<option value="select">-- Method --</option>
<option value="check">Check</option>
<option value="credit">Credit Card</option></td>';
$results .= '<td width="10%" align="center">'.$paid.'</td>';
$results .= '<td width="10%" align="right">'.$fee.'</td>';
$results .= '</tr>';
$results .= '</table>';

Here is the PHP getting the results:
if(isset($_POST['action_box']) && $_POST['action_box'] == 'mark_paid')
{
    $checked = array();
    $checked2 = array();
    
    if(!isset($_POST['checkbox']))
    {
        $val_error[] = 'You have not selected any applications.';
    }
        elseif($_POST['pay_method'] == 'select')
        {
            $val_error[] = 'Please select a Payment Method.';
        }
    else
    {
        foreach($_POST['checkbox'] as $value)
        {
            $checked[] = $value;
        }
        foreach($_POST['pay_method'] as $value2)
        {
            $checked2[] = $value2;
        }
            
        echo implode(",", $checked);
        echo implode(",", $checked2);

        //$result = mysql_query("UPDATE app_pmt SET paid = '1' WHERE app_pmt_id IN(" . implode(",", $checked) . ")");
        //header('Location: bal_due.php?id='.$_GET['id']);
    }
}

Hello,

If I have this string:

$tags="baseball glove face" (this can vary from 1 to 15 different words)

how would i loop through and divide these into different

$tag1=baseball
$tag2=glove
$tag3=face
.. and so on (if more words)

Thanks for help

This is really blowing my mind... the code is as follows the table, the column names everything is right and contains information but the variables aren't being filled... I don't get it... Anyone have any ideas or options I might not have thought of for debugging?


                        $item_name = ("SELECT * FROM items WHERE id = '$grab_item'");
$que_items = mysql_query($item_name);
while ($item_todel = mysql_fetch_array($que_items, MYSQL_BOTH)) {
$name = $item_todel['name'];
$desc = $item_todel['desc'];
}
echo ($name . "<br>" . $desc . "<br>" . $grab_item);


the only variable thats set is grab_item, fetch_array throws no errors, if I plug in the query straight to the sql I get all the proper information... It's just not filling the two variables....

I have this simple while loop which retrieves data from a mysql query and displays several links on my homepage.

I would like to avoid using the php get function and add query strings to my urls

I am thinking of using session variables but I need help and I'm pretty sure this can't be done.

When a visitor clicks a link from the several ones displayed by the while loop, that particular variable would be set in a session.

In my code, the session will always send the last var

Can this be done?

    Code: [Select]
<? session_start(); // Start Session Variables

    $result = mysql_query("my query");

    while($slice = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
        $url = $slice['url'];
        $name  = $slice['name']; ?>

        <a href="<? echo $url; ?>"><? echo $name; ?></a>

    <? }

    $_SESSION['name'] = $name; // Store session data  ?>

First page adds a new job number, then the order page loaded with the job number id as a get id. Basically there is a while loop in the order page which shows products/services client can order and he chooses what he requires 'one or eight services' (8 in total) and some other variables like date of order and client name etc. Here is the order item code

The first sql statement executes fine, but in the second sql query nothing happens


$sql="insert into job_order(order_num,order_date,order_customer_id, order_remarks) values(".$_GET['id'].",NOW(),".$_POST['companyBox'].",'".$_POST['remarkBox']."');"; $res=mysql_query($sql);  $id=mysql_insert_id();   foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {          if(!empty($value)) {           $key.' => '.trim(strip_tags($value));            $order="INSERT INTO orderprod (order_num,prod_id,order_amount,teeth_amount) VALUES ('$_GET[id]','$value','$value','$value');"; $orderres=mysql_query($order) or die(mysql_error()); } }?>$sql="insert into job_order(order_num,order_date,order_customer_id,
order_remarks)
values(".$_GET['id'].",NOW(),".$_POST['companyBox'].",'".$_POST['remarkBox']."');";
$res=mysql_query($sql);

$id=mysql_insert_id();


foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {


        if(!empty($value)) { 
 
         $key.' => '.trim(strip_tags($value));  
     
         $order="INSERT INTO orderprod (order_num,prod_id,order_amount,teeth_amount) VALUES
('$_GET[id]','$value','$value','$value');";
$orderres=mysql_query($order) or die(mysql_error());
}
}
?>

This is the formI have removed parts which are irrelevant. Please note that dateBox and companyBox are not required to be looping as they are only for first table,

Hey.   So the issue I'm having is consecutive loops on semi-large arrays, over and over. Consider this array:

$firstArray = array(

)

Originally the data comes from ~2-3 database tables, of course. But to ilustrate the point, this is how the main array looks like. This array usually contains anywhere between 10-50 rows, each row containing at least 10 dates, with 10 key/values each.   And after setting up all the data, it needs to be processed. Currently this is how a friend of mine did it..

$placeDataHere = array();
foreach($firstArray as $key => $dates) {
foreach($dates as $date => $values) {
foreach($values as $key => $value) {
$placeDataHere['DV_' . $date]['SM_' . $key] = 'KS_' . $value;
//Followed by another ~50-70 lines of processing the 3 loop's data..
...
...
....
....
....
....
....
....
}
}
}

Obviously this isn't good practise, but we can't seem to figure out a better way of doing it, since both the data and the loops are horribly nested.   This loop and setup of $firstArray is run anywhere between 10-20 times/request, due to amount of users we wish to process. So, the result is that this code can take up to over 2-3 minutes to complete, which isn't really optimal performance.   In short my question is, are there any better methods of handling this with the data setup we currently have?

does anyone know how to decode this XML variable value into string values? I also need to know the oposite way: creating variable values into xml. I've tried several code examples but they did filter the requested data.

Code: [Select]
$xml='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Below is my output on the browser:

    Student: Kevin Smith (u0867587)
    Course: INFO101 - Bsc Information Communication Technology Course Mark 70 Grade
    Year: 3
   
   
    Module: CHI2550 - Modern Database Applications Module Mark: 41 Mark Percentage: 68 Grade: B
   
    Session: AAB Session Mark: 72 Session Weight Contribution 20%
   
    Session: AAE Session Mark: 67 Session Weight Contribution 40%


    Module: CHI2513 - Systems Strategy Module Mark: 31 Mark Percentage: 62 Grade: B
   
    Session: AAD Session Mark: 61 Session Weight Contribution 50%

Now where it says course mark above it says 70. This is incorrect as it should be 65 (The average between the module marks percentage should be 65 in the example above) but for some stange reason I can get the answer 65. I have a variable called $courseMark and that does the calculation. Now if the $courseMark is echo outside the where loop, then it will equal 65 but if it is put in while loop where I want the variable to be displayed, then it adds up to 70. Why does it do this.
   
    Below is the code:

Code: [Select]
    $sessionMark = 0;
    $sessionWeight = 0;
    $courseMark = 0;
   
    $output = "";
   
    $studentId = false;
    $courseId  = false;
    $moduleId  = false;
   
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
    {
   
   
    $sessionMark += round($row['Mark'] / 100 * $row['SessionWeight']);
    $sessionWeight  += ($row['SessionWeight']);
        $courseMark = ($sessionMark /  $sessionWeight * 100);
   
          if($studentId != $row['StudentUsername'])
        {
   
            //Student has changed
            $studentId = $row['StudentUsername'];
   
            $output .= "<p><strong>Student:</strong> {$row['StudentForename']} {$row['StudentSurname']} ({$row['StudentUsername']})\n";
   
        }
             
        if($courseId != $row['CourseId'])
        {
   
            //Course has changed
            $courseId = $row['CourseId'];
   
            $output .= "<br><strong>Course:</strong> {$row['CourseId']} - {$row['CourseName']} <strong>Course Mark</strong>" round($courseMark) "<strong>Grade</strong>  <br><strong>Year:</strong> {$row['Year']}</p>\n";
   
        }
   
        if($moduleId != $row['ModuleId'])
        {
   
            //Module has changed
            if(isset($sessionsAry)) //Don't run function for first record
            {
   
                //Get output for last module and sessions
                $output .= outputModule($moduleId, $moduleName, $sessionsAry);
            }
   
            //Reset sessions data array and Set values for new module
   
            $sessionsAry = array();
            $moduleId    = $row['ModuleId'];
            $moduleName  = $row['ModuleName'];
        }
             
        //Add session data to array for current module
             
        $sessionsAry[] = array('SessionId'=>$row['SessionId'], 'Mark'=>$row['Mark'], 'SessionWeight'=>$row['SessionWeight']);
             
    }    //Get output for last module
   
    $output .= outputModule($moduleId, $moduleName, $sessionsAry);
   
    //Display the output
    echo $output;
I think the problem is that it is outputting the answer of the calculation only for the first session mark. How in the while loop can I do it so it doesn't display it for the first mark only but for all the session marks so that it ends up showing the correct answer 65 and not 72?

I have wrote a .php file which is a form with 3 different fields, in these fields I want to write entries which lateron will be submitted into a .csv generating a csv file on my server with the name of the entries.   The issue is that the file is not being generated on my server. With the current code the entries are being recognized and being placed in the filename of the csv.   The point is not to make it downloadable sinds I want to have it on my webserver and keep editing information in it.   My code is top of this post.   My .php file replies that: Cannot open file: BOD10Buffer.csv   Pardon my sloppy code everyone, I am not really a person that codes but this "form" may save me a lot of time in the longrun, just difficult and I am asking for help on this. Is there anyone that may be kind enough to help me? and as to what I might be doing wrong?   All help is much appreciated!    

I have tried sitemap.org and a few others but have not found anything that will give the results I am after.

I have a blog site that has a URL and a Description for the URL and wish to have the description show as the anchor text which is linked to the URL, all data is taken from MySQL.

Does anyone have a code that will generate something like this ?

Hi guys, so i have this file upload script. When i upload a file it gets stored in /uploads and keeps the same file name. So if i upload a file "test.exe" the file will be available at uploads/test.exe What i want is that it generates a new file name like: "9daln292os.exe" so upload/9daln292os.exe   This is my code:

<?php

// Where the file is going to be placed
$target_path = "uploads/";

/* Add the original filename to our target path.
Result is "uploads/filename.extension" */
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
$_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];

?>


<?php


$file_type = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];
$file_name = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$file_ext = strtolower(substr($file_name,strrpos($file_name,".")));

if (!in_array($file_type, $FILE_MIMES) && !in_array($file_ext, $FILE_EXTS) )
$message = "Sorry, $file_name($file_type) is not allowed to be uploaded.";
else
$message = do_upload_function_here($upload_path_here, $upload_ur_upload_url_herel);
?>
<?php



$target_path = "uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
" has been uploaded. Here is the link to your file: <a href=uploads/". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). ">". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'])."</a>";

} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

?>

I don't know any basic php i really need someone to give me the code ready please. Thanks much appreciated.

hi, im trying to create a website and only now started thinking about the security part(noob mistake). say for example i have home.php page and an index.php page. index.php is where users would sign up/log in. the login and sign up processes are all done but i was thinking of creating a unique id of some sort for when the user logs in. or something like this site (forum.phpfreaks) when we sign in, you are signed but the url stays the same = forums.phpfreaks.com. like if we were signed out we will be permanantly signed out and typing in forums.phpfreaks.com would just land us at the main page where we need to sign in.  right now ,my home.php can be accessed with or without logging in even with sessions.   hope im making sense, thanks in advanced!    **haha that rhymed.    i tried adding:   <?php echo $_SERVER[PHP_SELF] . '?name=' . $userData['name'];?> in the index.php:

<?php
ob_start();
session_start();
 
if(isset($_POST['login']))
{
	$email = $_POST['email'];
	$password = $_POST['pass'];
	 
	 require "connection.php";
	 
	$emails = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $email);
	$query = "SELECT id, name, email, password, salt FROM users WHERE email = '$emails';";
	 
	$result = mysqli_query($con, $query);
	 
	if(mysqli_num_rows($result) == 0) // User not found. So, redirect to login_form again.
	{
		echo "<script>alert(\"User does not exist!\")</script>";
	}
	 
	$userData = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC);
	$hash = hash('sha256', $userData['salt'] . hash('sha256', $password) );
	 
	if($hash != $userData['password'])
	{
		echo "<script>alert(\"Incorrect Password!\")</script>";
	}else{ 
		session_regenerate_id();
		$_SESSION['sess_user_id'] = $userData['id'];
		$_SESSION['sess_name'] = $userData['name'];
		session_write_close();
		header('Location: home.php?user=');
	}
}
ob_flush();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<form name="login" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER[PHP_SELF] . '?name=' . $userData['name'];?>">

but i got access forbidden!
