PHP - Phpdoc Can't Parse Anonymous Functions

I have built a small classified ads application.  A person can put in an item for sale and it will diaplay the item.  On the input form for the ad they enter their email address.   I am looking for an application that will display an anonymous email address on the classified ad and send to the anonmmous email through to their real email address.  I would prefer to do this through the web server of the client and not have to set up a Google Apps or third party email accout for the "catch all"  account.   Any recommendation for tutorials to explain and illustrate how to write this code.   Thanks in advance for any assist.   m

I have a script I am putting together that simulate a cricket game. The only issue is, that there are a huge number of functions because there doesn't seem to be any other way to do this properly. As well as this, there a while() loop and all this seems to be leading to the page reaching a max 30 second timeout when generating the result.

My code is attached below, it is quite messy at the moment because i've just be working on it, but I was wondering if anyone has any solutions of how I can speed this up or change to prevent a timeout:

Hello I have one problem with fwrite() I have one script to get width and height from javascript and echo it with PHP.
echo "Screen width is: ". $_GET['width'] ."<br />\n";
echo "Screen height is: ". $_GET['height'] ."<br />\n";
It works but i want to store the result in a file
fwrite($info,"Height: $_GET['height'] <br />");
But then I get error Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING
////////////////////////
it would be even better if I don't have to print the values but directly store them in $iinfo
sorry if something similar was soved but those examples were different or i was unable to transform it to solve my problem

I am trying to put a href on a line to link me to another php module, but get an error: Parse error: parse error in C:\wamp\www\editpolicy.php on line 47
My code:
while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2) )
   {
      print "<tr><td>";
         <a href='editpayment.php?payid=$row2[PaymentID]'>$row2[PaymentID]</a> .........THIS IS LINE 47 ???
      print "</td><td>";
      print $row2['Actioned'];
      print "</td><td align='right'>";

      print $row2['Risk'];
      print "</td></tr>";
   }

I teaching myself php, but I am coming from java and other compiled languages, so the process has been a little bumpy. I am trying to do something like this:

Code: [Select]
class my_class
{

  function one ()
  {
     $two = two ();

     $three = three ();

     $five = $two + $three;

     return $five;
  }

  function two ()
  {
     $two = 2;

    return $two;
  }
 
  function three ()
  {
     $three = 3;

     return $three;
  }
}


Unfortunately, I keep getting an error message saying that my call to two () is an undefined function. I am gathering from this that the scope of one () is not aware of the existence of two (). Is there a way to get around this so I can call two () and three () from one ()?

Hi,   I'm trying to return the value of avail="0" from the following XML file using simplexml_load_string.

  <response>
    <result code="1000">
      <msg>Command completed successfully</msg>
    </result>
    <resData>
      <domain:chkData
        xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0"
        xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0 domain-1.0.xsd">
        <domain:cd>
          <domain:name avail="0">www.testing.co.uk</domain:name>
        </domain:cd>
      </domain:chkData>
    </resData>

I have it working where I can access the www.testing.co.uk value using the following:

echo $xml->response->resData->children('domain', true)->chkData->children('domain', true)->cd->children('domain', true)->name;

But am not sure how to access the avail value? I thought the following would have worked by adding ['avail'] onto the end, but appear to be missing something.

echo $xml->response->resData->children('domain', true)->chkData->children('domain', true)->cd->children('domain', true)->name['avail'];

Any help much appreciated.   MoFish

Can any one tell me how to access the image of this xml file:

Hey there, could you give this at this piece of code?
It's giving me this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/xxxxx/public_html/Tyler/index.php on line 99

(the line 99 is the one with the sprintf)

Code: [Select]
echo"
    if( $diff=@get_time_difference($start, $end) )
{
sprintf( '%2d days %02dh%02dm', $diff['days'], $diff['hours'], $diff['minutes'] );

}

";

Danke!

Hey guys i am trying to parse selected data from a website. here is the sample code i have done

$url="some website":
$string=file_get_contents($url);
$mystring="john":// this is the string i want to find from that website

how to get this word "john" form that string.

second thing, suppose this is the word on the website [John  23  40]. i want to get all three values {John,23,40} to separate table columns. how to do that?

Lets say I have a URL of http://mydomain.com/somename/

I need a function to grab USERNAME

However I need it to work if someone uses http://www.mydomain.com/USERNAME/

OR

With or without the trailing / after USERNAME

I can't see to figure anything out which accounts for the many different variables that a person could type it.

And yet another way is that the URL could be http://www.mydomain.com/USERNAME/SOME-CAT/SOME-POST/


Thanks
