PHP - Access Two Variables From Function
Similar TutorialsI have a user class that is very dependent on the database class, which is why the user class extends the database. I tried creating a protected method in the parent class called getDBCObject, which returned the database object/variable/handle that I want the user to have access to. I tried the method below, but it doesn't work: <?php /* * @DATABASE * ~~~~~~~~~~~~ * @FILE DESCRIPTION: Handles all database related processes * @LAST MODIFIED: April 4, 2012 */ class database { protected $dbc; function __construct($db_host, $db_name, $db_user, $db_password) { try { $this->dbc = new PDO("mysql:host=$db_host;dbname=$db_name", $db_user, $db_password); } catch(PDOException $e) { echo '<b>An error occured while trying to create a database connection: </b>'. $e->getMessage(); } } /* * @METHOD getDBCObject * @DESC Gives the $dbc object/variable to its child classes */ protected function getDBCObject() { return $this->dbc; } } ?> My user class: <?php /* * @DATABASE * ~~~~~~~~~~~~ * @FILE DESCRIPTION: User related proccess * @LAST MODIFIED: April 5, 2012 */ class user extends database { protected $dbc; public function __construct() { if(parent::getDBCObject() == null) { echo '<br/>A database class/connection is required before creating the user class.'; } } public function isLoggedIn() { if($_COOKIE['user']) { //soon to come } else { return false; } } } ?> Any feedback on how I can let the user class use the $dbc variable in the database class? Hi friends, a quick print_r() shows the following array while connecting to my database. How to get them as individual items and display on the website ? Array ( [0] => Array ( [id] => 52 [document_name] => xyz [document_ext] => gif [download_file_name] => ktm_impact.gif [upload_dt] => 2010-08-11 ) ) Ok here is what i got so far and now I am stuck. The user enters a number of how many squares (rectangles is note accurate) they wish to calculate. If its between 1 and 100 it continues, if its any other number it tells you to put in a number between 1 and 100. That was easy for me to do. If the number is between 1 and 100 it creates and input for length, width and height of each rectangle. creating the variables as it goes, i.e. "length$i" when $i is the while counter and increases to the ammount of rectangles you wished to view. Again, not that hard for me. So I am at the point where is I put in 50 I get length1 - through length30, width1 - width50, and height1 - height50. THis works great. However I now what to store those variables and calculate the area of each one via a while look which again creates an area$i variable which can be added (it would create area1 - area50 which I then wish to add together) Here is what I have so far. <?php session_start(); if (isset($_REQUEST['numpack'])) { if ($_REQUEST['numpack'] <= 0 || $_REQUEST['numpack'] > 100 ) { $error = "Please enter a number between 1 and 100"; echo $error; ?> <form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <table width="0" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td colspan="2">How many Squares</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <input name="numpack" type="text" size="4" maxlength="3"></td> <td><input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit"></td> </tr> </table> </form> <?php } else { ?> <form name="form2" method="post" action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"> <?php $i=1; while($i<=ceil($_REQUEST['numpack'])) { ?> <table width="325" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" style="float: left;" class="aluminium"> <tr> <td align="center" rowspan="2"><span class="transparent" style="color: #FFF; font-weight: bold;"><?=$i; ?>.</span></td> <td align="center">L</td> <td align="center">x</td> <td align="center">W</td> <td align="center">x</td> <td align="center">H</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><input name="length<?=$i; ?>" type="text" size="4" maxlength="3"></td> <td align="center">x</td> <td align="center"><input name="width<?=$i; ?>" type="text" size="4" maxlength="3"></td> <td align="center">x</td> <td align="center"><input name="height<?=$i; ?>" type="text" size="4" maxlength="3"></td> </tr> </table> <?php $i++; } ?> </form> <?php } } If (!isset($_REQUEST['numpack'])) { ?> <form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <table width="0" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td colspan="2">How many Squares</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <input name="numpack" type="text" size="4" maxlength="3"></td> <td><input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit"></td> </tr> </table> </form> <?php } ?> Now I was reading up on session data and think this might be the best way to go, but again how do I do this? and two I want to make sure that if there are 2 people accessing it at the same time, it does not change the variables on them... (i.e. user one puts in 50 values, and user two puts in 50 different values I do not want cross contamination) Any ideas on how to proceed? Please help me to solve this error Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'SYSTEM'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\wamp\www\shop-script-free\includes\database\mysql.php on line 13 Warning: mysql_get_server_info() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\wamp\www\shop-script-free\includes\database\mysql.php on line 14 Access denied for user 'SYSTEM'@'localhost' (using password: NO) Thanks you very much I have a script that uses two functions and a simple switch statement. If I wanted to take the value of variables from function 1 and use them in function 2, would I have to declare them global in both functions, function 1, function 2, or outside the functions? For example Code: [Select] <?php function function_1() { //Here? global $variable_1; $variable_1 = hello world; return $variable_1 } function function_2() { //Or Here? global $variable_1; echo $variable_1 } //Or here? global $variable_1 //Or in all three places? I want the variable to be available everywhere in the script! ?> Hello, I am trying to define some variables in a function, but the variable just returns null no matter what I do. Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Code: [Select] <?php function checkname() { global $t; if($_SESSION['name'] == '') { return false; $t = false; } elseif(isset($_POST['cont']) && $_SESSION['name'] != '') { return true; $t = true; } } var_dump($t); // returns NULL upon correct or incorrect submit. ?> Hello I have a table with four variables. By choosing each of the variables we obtain a numerical value. I have a form with each of the variables to be selected and what I meant was that it appeared the value without having to place the table on page. step I (VAR 1) VAR2 VAR3 8h 10h 12h 14h 16h 18h(VAR4) A 0-30 4 2 1 1 2 4 A >30 1 3 2 4 5 3 B 0-30 7 6 4 6 4 3 B >30 4 5 3 6 3 5 C 0-30 2 2 2 2 1 8 C >30 8 8 5 6 2 2 D 0-30 6 9 8 2 8 8 D >30 5 5 6 8 6 8 step II (VAR1) VAR2 VAR3 8h 10h 12h 14h 16h 18h(VAR4) A >30 2 3 5 8 2 6 B >30 2 8 2 9 8 8 C >30 8 9 2 8 5 2 D >30 8 2 1 8 2 9 step I and step II is the first variable, then we have to see if it was A, B or C (second variable) and perhaps more complicated if the input value is between 0 - 30 or >30 (third variable) in stage I or greater than zero (third variable) in step II. The four variable was the hours. Have any suggestions on how I do this? Thanks I have a php script. I defined a variable outside of a function, but i cannot echo the variable inside the function. When I execute this: <?PHP $testvar = "test worked!"; testfunction(); function testfunction(){ echo $testvar; } ?> Nothing happens. what am i doing wrong. I did this on my local host. Apache running on Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit Edition. Thanks in advance. Hello I've have read that global variables should not be used. so if i have 2 .php files: index.php - main content php file sitefunctions.php - php functions site file on my index.php page i have the following (an example of my problem): <?php displayError($errorID); ?> and in the sitefunctions.php file i have the following (an example of my problem): <?php function displayError($errorID) { if($errorID == 1) { echo "Password Failure"; } else { echo "Other Failure"; } } ?> now that works but since when first accesing that page the $errorID is not set then i get an error. How can i achieve this without first setting a blank $errorID global variable? Thanks Hello everyone, Can someone show me a way how to pass $_post variable from a form to a function? So, input username and input password to a function login($username, $password).
I have a php file with a bunch of variables declared. I now need a function to put data on a separate page that pulls variables from the required page.

$servername = "localhost";
$username = "user";
$password = "pass";
$dbname = "db_name";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);

I have the array defined and print_r (outside the function is show what I need...) However, I need to somewhay pass those three arguments - name, price, shipping (keys & values) into the "all_products" function and assign (inside the function) each element to a variable {name, price, shipping}. Code: [Select] function all_products($key,$value) { # This is where I'm lost - I know the values are passed to the function but how to I assign them to below variable? echo "$name"; echo "$price"; echo "$shipping"; // Products array defined to send values into "all_products" function & loop to display item name & individual pricing (using WHILE LOOP) $products = array('Product1' => array ( 'name' => 'item one', 'price' => '30.00', 'shipping' => '0.00'), 'Product2' => array ( 'item two', 'price' => '19.50', 'shipping' => '0.10'), 'Product3' => array ( 'item three', 'price' => '21.99', 'shipping' => '0.10') ); while (list($keys, $values) = each($products)) { while (list($k, $v) = each($values)) echo "Checking Looped Data Outside Function: <strong>$k: </strong> $v<br/>"; # echo "<pre>"; # print_r($value); # echo "</pre>"; # Trying to send array elements into "all_products" function & echo (name, price, shipping) keys and values inside that function all_products($k,$v); } Hello, my global variable is getting whacked (defined null or being undefined) after a function call. I'm not sure if it's happening when leaving the function that assigns it or when the form is "posted", or something else. Code: [Select] <? //global variables $globalVarString = ""; //function definitions function displayResults() { global $globalVarString; if ($globalVarString == "") {displayForm("please enter your search string again");} else {displayForm("you typed: $globalVarString");} } function getResults($searchInput) { global $globalVarString; $globalVarString = $searchInput; //give status ?> <html><head><title>Search</title></head><body> <form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post"> Thanks for entering your data (<? echo "$globalVarString" ?>).<br><br>Please press the submit button to process your data    <input type="Submit" value="Submit" name="processQuery"> </form></body></html> <? } function displayForm($message) { //prompt for input ?> <html><head><title>Search</title></head><body> <form action=" <? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post"> <h3>Please enter your search <input type="text" name="searchString">    <script type="text/javascript">document.forms[0].searchString.focus();</script> <input type="Submit" value="Submit Query" name="searchQuery"></h3> </form> <? if (!$message == ""){echo "<br>    <h4>" . $message . "</h4><br>";} ?> </body></html> <? } //main() if(array_key_exists('searchQuery', $_POST)) {getResults($_POST['searchString']);} elseif (array_key_exists('processQuery', $_POST)) {displayResults();} else {displayForm("");} ?> Hey guys, I want to pass the unique id of a node to a function when that image is clicked. Actually i am a newbee in php so don't know what to search about or where to look for it,but find this place and you all guys so helpful so i am asking for a guide here Hey ive been wanting to know how to make a function call another function which will then create a variable which i can send back to first function where i can use it. I tried somthing like this Code: [Select] <?php a(); function a($wall) { b(); echo $wall; } function b() { $wall = "test"; #a($wall); } ?> Thats what i tried but ofcourse didnt work, how would i go about doing this? Thanks. Okay I have a function that stores data into an Array. The function takes about 7 seconds to run and through a number of different loops it creates one final array with about 15,000 keys. I want to recall this data a number of times in different functions, however how can I have this data easily accessible without running the function each time. EX: Code: [Select] function theFunction() { for($x=0;$x,=15000;$x++) { //Run the loop and store data. $string[$x] = //output from other loops and calculations } return $string } //Then later on if I want to recall the data the only way I know how is to do the follow: $newstring = theFunction() The only problem I have with this is that it has to re-run the function every time in order to get to the data it spits out. How can I store this data into another array outside of the function without having to re-run it? I hope this makes sense. Thanks. Hello all, I have a 14 column csv that I load into an array, retrieving only the required fields, load the array into columns and perform a sort: Code: [Select] foreach ($array as $key => $row) { $firstname[$key] = $row["firstn"]; $lastname[$key] = $row["lastn"]; $address1[$key] = $row["addr1"]; $address2[$key] = $row["addr2"]; $address3[$key] = $row["addr3"]; $city[$key] = $row["cit"]; $stateprov[$key] = $row["state"]; $country[$key] = $row["cntry"]; $membernumber[$key] = $row["num"];} array_multisort($membernumber,$lastname,$firstname,$address1,$address2,$address3,$city,$stateprov,$country,$array);When I pass say the first three letters of a last name ($find = "smi"), all records matching the search criteria are returned: Code: [Select] foreach ($array as $key => $row) { if (strncasecmp($find, $lastname[$key], strlen($find)) == 0) { echo "<tr><td>" . $firstname[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $lastname[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $address1[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $address2[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $address3[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $city[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $stateprov[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $country[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $membernumber[$key] . "</td></tr>" . chr(13); }}}So far so good. However, I'd like to put the search part into a function so I can call it a number of times without having to reload the entire csv: Code: [Select] function FindMember() { foreach ($array as $key => $row) { if (strncasecmp($find, $membernumber[$key], strlen($find)) == 0) { echo "<tr><td>" . $firstname[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $lastname[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $address1[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $address2[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $address3[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $city[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $stateprov[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $country[$key] . "</td>"; echo "<td align='right'>" . $membernumber[$key] . "</td></tr>" . chr(13); }}}}The search criteria would come from a second txt file with every line containing 2 numbers, separated by a comma: Code: [Select] foreach ($lines as $member => $numbers) { $exploded = explode(",", $numbers); $find = $exploded[1]; FindMember();here $exploded[1] corresponds to $membernumber[$key], so this is where I would call the function, but this is where I run into trouble, nothing gets returned. Does this have something to do with the scope of variables inside a user-defined function? I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. TIA I am trying to pass a variable from inside of a function in a file that is included eg include.php Code: [Select] <? function noms(){ $foobar = "apples"; } ?> main.php Code: [Select] <? include("include.php"); noms(); echo "these ". $foobar. " are most delicious... OM NOM NOM"; ?> I am essentially using a include file for a mysql connection and based on the connection outcome i am either setting a value to true or false. It prints "Connected succesfully" and what not just fine, but, after that it wont pass on the variables data. I know its the function because, it passes the data if i put the variable before the function... i just dont get it.. any help would be great. Thanks. Ansel 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.

I have some code which needs to return a single variable from the function and stored as a variable within this page, so it can be echoed later on in the page. I couldn't get it to return as a variable, so i used "return compact();" to return the variable and "extract (myFunction());" to extract it to variables. However, when I turned on php's display errors and error reporting function, I got an error message saying "Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array in /my/web/site/index.php on line 6" (which is where my extract function is). This works fine with passing more than one variables through, is there another way pass one variable from a function to be stored as a variable on the page which called the function? Here is the function: Code: [Select] <?php //This is a list of numeric error codes against their text. this will return the error code as the variable $issue function checkLoginIssue() { //If there is an error code if (isset($_GET["issue"])) { //cycle through the list until the code is reached, return the text and break the switch switch ($_GET["issue"]) { case "1": $issue = '<p class="warning">Please log in to view this page</p>'; break; case "2": $issue = '<p class="warning">Wrong Username or Password</p>'; break; case "3": $issue = '<p class="warning">No user found with those details</p>'; break; } //return the variable in an array with a single value return compact('issue'); } } ?> And here is the code which calls the function: Code: [Select] <?php extract(checkLoginIssue()); ?> |
