PHP - Is This Valid Syntax?

With the following code i can create an xml file.
Code: [Select]
<?php
$myXML = new SimpleXMLElement("<myroot></myroot>");
$title= $myXML->addChild('title');
$title->addAttribute('number','12');
$titleName= $title->addChild('titleName', 'title1');
$titleLink= $title->addChild('titleLink', 'link1');
Header('Content-type: text/xml');
echo $myXML->asXML();
?>

But when i check the validity of xml file
http://www.validome.org/xml/validate/
This error occurs:
Can not find declaration of element 'myroot'.

I suppose that the problem is missing of
!DOCTYPE and
!ELEMENT lines.

How can i create valid XML documents with PHP automatically??
Is it possible to make it without writing doctype and element types
for the whole element types of xml by hand
$title, $titleName and $titleLink

Thank you

I have this code which performs a mysql query.  However is there a way I can check to see if the set it returns is empty.  If it is empty I will then change the sql statement.  Thanks

$announcement_sql = "select * where annnouncement_for like \"%" . $_POST['for_search'] . "%\" and announcement_verification=\"1\" order by announcement_number desc limit 0, 15";

I always use my queries like below
mysql_query("SELECT id FROM someTable", $cn);

but some times i see in my error_log says: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource. Why is this happening?
I mean, there is no problem with my sites and all they are working as they should be but why php generates this error?

Hi,

I am trying to create a mobile version of my already uploaded file using below code but getting this error

imagecreatefrompng(): is not a valid PNG file

Here is the code:

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $uploadedFile))
{
    $resource = imagecreatefrompng($uploadedFile);

    $small_file = imagescale($resource , 500, 400);
    $small_file = imagepng($small_file);

    $newSmallFile = "mobile-" . $gallery_uuid . '.png';
    $uploadedSmallFile = $uploaddir . $newSmallFile;

    echo $uploadedSmallFile;
    
    if (move_uploaded_file($small_file, $uploadedSmallFile))
    {
        
    }
    else
    {
        echo json_encode("error");
    }
}
else
{
    echo json_encode("error");
}

 

Kindly help..

 

Thanks,

Jassim

Okay, I have a table with two columns..'annoyed' and 'ignored'. I poulated 'annoyed' with Bob and 'ignored' with Sally. I ran the following test due to problems I was having in my main script and I get the old MySQL "Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home2/testing_ig.php on line 16

Here is the code:


<?php
$DBhost = "localhost";
$DBuser = "xxxxx";
$DBpass = "xxxxx";
$DBName = "xxxxx";
$table = "ignore";

mysql_connect($DBhost,$DBuser,$DBpass) or die();
@mysql_select_db("$DBName") or die();

$ignorequery = "SELECT * FROM $table WHERE annoyed='Bob' AND ignored='Sally'";
$checkignore = mysql_query($ignorequery);
$ifignored = mysql_num_rows($checkignore); //<--- This is line 16

if ($ifignored >= 1) {
echo "exists";
} else {
echo "doesn't exist";
}
?> 


I must be really tired because I'm not seeing the problem...?

HI,   I am triying to check a domain is valid or not using PHP. If the domian is not a valid one the name shoud be empty string.   So I tried using preg_match() and preg_replace(). But I couldn't get it to work.   This is my code sofar -

if (preg_match ('/^((?!-)[A-Za-z0-9-]{1,63}(?<!-)\\.)+[A-Za-z]{2,6}$/', $domain)) {
   $mydomain = $domain;
} else {
   $mydomain = preg_replace("/^((?!-)[A-Za-z0-9-]{1,63}(?<!-)\\.)+[A-Za-z]{2,6}$/", "", $domain);
}

When I am tring using valid and invalid domain name its always going to else part.   Eg: example.com       example.t.t.c   Hope somebody may help me out. Thank you.

What is wrong?

Hey guy's, have been stuck at this hurdle for a little whole now and I can't seem to find the right solution and would very much appreciate anyones help on this.

Ok, so I have a table of votes and each time a user votes, they're added to this table. Now, I have a 'pool' table which will display certain items. What I'm trying to do is display the 'pool' items, but if this specific user has already voted on this particular item, then I want it to skip the item in the 'pool' and go to the next item, until the argument of has that user voted is false.


The current code I'm pasting will obviously not work, it isn't even in the right position, but I've separated it so that you can hopefully understand what I'm trying to do in order to help.



Below is the code I use to check if a user has already voted on a particular photo:

<?php
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM votes WHERE vVoter='$_SESSION[userID]' AND vPhoto='$_SESSION[currentphoto]'");
$rowCheck = mysql_num_rows($result);
$alreadyv = 0;
if($rowCheck > 0){
   $alreadyv = 1;
        //user has already voted on this photo, need to use this info to be able to skip it in the 'pool'
} else {
   //do nothing
}
?>

totalVoted is basically how many times a user has voted, so that people who vote more, get more votes:

<?php
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pool ORDER BY totalVoted DESC LIMIT 1");
$rowCheck = mysql_num_rows($result);

if($rowCheck > 0){
   while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
      $photoid = $row['photoInPool'];
      
         $result2=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM photos WHERE pID='$photoid'");
         $rowCheck2 = mysql_num_rows($result2);

         if($rowCheck2 > 0){
            while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2)){
               if($alreadyv == 1) {
                  //I NEED THIS TO SHOW THE NEXT PHOTO IN THE ARRAY, HOWEVER, IF THEY HAVE ALREADY VOTED ON THE NEXT PHOTO, IT WILL STILL DISPLAY IT, THIS IS MY PROBLEM I NEED HELP WITH PLEASE
               } elseif ($alreadyv != 1) {
                  $fname = $row2['pFileName'];
               }
            }
         }
   
      $_SESSION[currentphoto] = $row['photoInPool'];
      echo "<center><img src='user_images/$fname'></center>";
   }
}

?>

I hope I've explained this well enough and hope somebody can help. Many thanks in advance

I need to close a window if referer not valid, but it cannot be in HTML, needs to be php. This is what I have so far:

Code: [Select]
if (ereg("http://www.mysite.com/test.php", $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) != true){
header('Location: ?????????');
exit;
} I get a header already sent message if I use a URL. I need it to close the window after 3 seconds.

Any ideas?

Hi there,

I was thinking of using this following check system to see if a user has entered a good valid value for a categories selection, but it is just is_numeric, here's my line of single code for this:

Code: [Select]
if(!array_key_exists('category', $_GET) || trim(is_numeric($_GET['category'])) == '')
Is there anything better that I can be using than is_numeric()?

I mean this would allow 2.22 which for the categories selection, would not be valid, I will only be allowing integer values, I mean it would potentially come up with no category selected but that wouldn't be very good would it?

It could be applied to a blog I am doing aswell, any guidance on such an improvement on this function would very much be appreciated,
Jeremy.

so what I do wrong. I knowI forgot something but what????

thanks in advance for your help

I have searched for this topic here but have not found reference to it.

I am receiving the following:
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/a4542527/public_html/index.php on line 8

The scripting for this is basic at this point (I am building something in steps and this is just a test section: The script will call data from the table and display said data.)

The following is the code (two, separate files located on my server)- I am hoping that someone may see something that I am missing.

connection.php
<?php
    $dbhost = 'mysql7.000webhost.com';
    $dbuser = 'a4542527_root';
    $dbpass = '**********';
    
    $db = 'a4542527_test1';
    $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
    mysql_select_db($db);

?>

index.php
<?php
    include 'connection.php';
    
    $query = "SELECT * FROM people";
    
    $result = "mysql_query($query)";
    
    while ($person = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    echo  $person ['name'];
    echo  $person ['descrip'];
    }
?>

Thank-you for any help, suggestions or a point in the right direction.

Hey there,

I am using prototype to send JSON information to a PHP file which will then use the data to update a database, the AJAX presently looks as follows:

Code: [Select]
function saveprofile()
{
var email = document.getElementById("email").value;

var profileDetails =
{
"email":email,
"titleitalic":titleitalic,
"profileDetails":titlefontcolor,
"titlefontcolor":titleunderline,
"titleoffsettop":titleoffsettop,
"titleoffsetleft":titleoffsetleft,
"aboutbackgroundcolour":aboutbackgroundcolour,
"aboutunderline":aboutunderline,
"aboutfontfamily":aboutfontfamily,
"aboutbold":aboutbold,
"aboutitalic":aboutitalic,
"aboutfontcolor":aboutfontcolor,
"aboutoffsettop":aboutoffsettop,
"aboutoffsetleft":aboutoffsetleft,
"statusoffsetleft":statusoffsetleft,
"statusinfooffsetright":statusinfooffsetright,
"pictureoffsetleft":pictureoffsetleft,
"profilebold":profilebold,
"profileunderline":profileunderline,
"profileitalic":profileitalic,
"profilefontcolor":profilefontcolor,
"profilefontfamily":profilefontfamily,
"profilebackgroundcolour":profilebackgroundcolour
}

var jsonstring = JSON.stringify(profileDetails);
alert(jsonstring);

   var request = new Ajax.Request
        ('scripts/updateprofile.php',
            { method: 'POST',
              parameters: jsonstring,
              onComplete: responseReturned }
        );
}


Which outputs the following JSON which has been tested on http://www.jsonlint.com/ as valid:

Code: [Select]
{
    "email": "l-wilson-1986@hotmail.co.uk",
    "titleitalic": "normal",
    "profileDetails": "#d0deea",
    "titlefontcolor": "none",
    "titleoffsettop": 100,
    "titleoffsetleft": 100,
    "aboutbackgroundcolour": "transparent",
    "aboutunderline": "none",
    "aboutfontfamily": "Arial",
    "aboutbold": "normal",
    "aboutitalic": "normal",
    "aboutfontcolor": "#d0deea",
    "aboutoffsettop": 325,
    "aboutoffsetleft": 100,
    "statusoffsetleft": 450,
    "statusinfooffsetright": 250,
    "pictureoffsetleft": 100,
    "profilebold": "normal",
    "profileunderline": "none",
    "profileitalic": "normal",
    "profilefontcolor": "#fff",
    "profilefontfamily": "Arial",
    "profilebackgroundcolour": "#2c3c49"
}

The PHP file which receives the JSON looks as follows:

Code: [Select]
<?php

$myjson = $_POST['jsonstring'];
$jsonchars = json_decode(($myjson), true);

$json_errors = array(
    JSON_ERROR_NONE => 'No error has occurred',
    JSON_ERROR_DEPTH => 'The maximum stack depth has been exceeded',
    JSON_ERROR_CTRL_CHAR => 'Control character error, possibly incorrectly encoded',
    JSON_ERROR_SYNTAX => 'Syntax error',
);
 echo 'Last error : ', $json_errors[json_last_error()], PHP_EOL, PHP_EOL;

// do something with the data

?>

The problem is the PHP constantly returns the following error: Last error : Syntax error and any attempts to access the JSON data returns NULL values. I have looked at several online examples and cannot see where I might be going wrong, and although users have had problems with syntax errors it normally relates to incorrect JSON.

Any advice on this topic would be greatly appeciated
