Hello all,
I am having trouble trying to figure out how I should compose this loop to
give me ALL the results I want.
Below are my queries. I am querying two different databases to pull in
records that match the requested $id. I am then putting the result into a
$variable and also counting the number of rows returned. These queries work
just fine and pull in all of the data that I want...and by viewing the
print_r() I have verified that all the information was returned.
<?php
$get_cs = "SELECT DISTINCT
request_type, card_id, first_name, last_name
FROM
support_payment_request
WHERE
card_id = '$id'";
$cs_type = mssql_query($get_cs) or die(mssql_get_last_message());
$cs_num = mssql_num_rows($cs_type);
if($cs_num > 0) {
while ($cs_row = mssql_fetch_array($cs_type)) {
$cs_type2 = $cs_row['request_type'];
$cs_first = $cs_row['first_name'];
$cs_last = $cs_row['last_name'];
$cs_name = $cs_first." ".$cs_last;
print_r ($cs_row);
}
}
$get_tr = "SELECT DISTINCT
request_type, card_id, first_name, last_name
FROM
payment_request
WHERE
card_id = '$id'";
$tr_type = mssql_query($get_tr) or die(mssql_get_last_message());
$tr_num = mssql_num_rows($tr_type);
if($tr_num > 0) {
while ($tr_row = mssql_fetch_array($tr_type)) {
$tr_type2 = $tr_row['request_type'];
$tr_first = $tr_row['first_name'];
$tr_last = $tr_row['last_name'];
$tr_name = $tr_first." ".$tr_last;
print_r ($tr_row);
}
}
$num_total = $cs_num + $tr_num;
$multiple = "MULTIPLE";
?>
Here is where I am running into problems. First I am writing an if ()
statement to see if there were any rows returned from the queries. If a row
was returned I am echoing out the data that was assigned to the different
variables above. This works...kind of...
<td width='89' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'><div
align='center'><?php echo "<a href='javascript:editRecord($id)'>$id</a>";
?></div></td>
<td width='172' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'><div
align='center'><?php if ($cs_num > 0) { echo "$cs_name<br />\n"; }
if ($tr_num > 0) { echo "$tr_name<br />\n";
} ?></div></td>
<td width='201' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'><div
align='center'><?php echo "$dateTime"; ?></div></td>
<td width='158' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'><div
align='center'><?php if ($num_total > 1) { echo $multiple; }
if ($num_total == 1 && $cs_num == 1) { echo $cs_type2;
}
if ($num_total == 1 && $tr_num == 1) { echo $tr_type2;
} ?></div></td>
<td width='160' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'><div
align='center'><?php echo "$last_processed_by"; ?></div></td>
If a single row was returned by the query, all of the information echos out
just fine. BUT, If one of the queries returned more than one row, the
information that is echo'd out is only the LAST row's information. For
example, the result of my $cs_type query returns 3 names: John Smith, Jane
Smith, James Smith. The only information being populated to my table is
James Smith. Because of this I think I need to put a loop where the echo
"$cs_name<br />\n"; is so it will loop through all of the returned names and
show them all. I have tried a for, foreach and while loop but I just can't
seem to wrap my fingers around the right way to use it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
What about something like this?
<?php
$records = array();
$SQL = "SELECT DISTINCT request_type,
card_id,
first_name,
last_name
FROM support_payment_request
WHERE card_id = '$id'";
$cs_type = mssql_query($SQL) or die(mssql_get_last_message());
if ( $cs_type ) {
while ($records[] = $record = mssql_fetch_array($cs_type)) {
print_r ($record);
}
}
$SQL = "SELECT DISTINCT request_type,
card_id,
first_name,
last_name
FROM payment_request
WHERE card_id = '$id'";
$tr_type = mssql_query($get_tr) or die(mssql_get_last_message());
if ( $tr_type ) {
while ( $records[] = $record = mssql_fetch_array($tr_type)) {
print_r ($record);
}
}
if ( count($records) ) {
echo '<table>';
foreach ( $records AS $id => $row ) {
echo <<<ROW
<tr>
<td width='89' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'><a
href='javascript:editRecord({$row['card_id']})'>{$row['card_id']}</a></td>
<td width='172' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'>{$row['first_name']}
{$row['last_name']}</td>
</tr>
ROW;
}
echo '</table>';
}
?>
Obviously, this is completely untested. You should be able to run it.
I took out the table cells that had to do with the date/time and the total,
Not sure where you were getting that information from.
But this should give you a little better idea on how to do it.

Just noticed on that last one I forgot to change one variable name.
the line that was this
$tr_type = mssql_query($get_tr) or die(mssql_get_last_message());
change it to this
$tr_type = mssql_query($SQL) or die(mssql_get_last_message());

You could install the system I wrote called "Roach".
You can see an older version on my site (and I can post up or email you a
newer .tgz file):
http://daevid.com
I actively develop it for my company. We've used it for 6 years now. I *try*
to make my fixes generic, and I repost them periodically to my site in a tgz
file.
I actually like it a lot. We started with Mantis (again, years ago) and it
sucked ass, so we rolled our own (in typical startup/FOSS fashion).
There's a sourceforge project that I don't update (I use svn and not cvs and
don't care to set that up anymore).

We use Mantis and love it! Works very well, but to each his own.
Also, SourceForge uses svn now. Has for awhile.

Here's an email I posted this list a couple weeks ago about the topic:

Subject: RE: [PHP] Recommend a wiki?
I have had 'Trac' thrust upon me by an employee/coworker and while it is not
"perfect" (or even close to it), it does what it does, and it does it pretty
well.
http://trac.edgewall.org/
Some of my favorite things about it are:
Wiki is pretty common tags
(http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WikiFormatting)
Subversion integration with diff, view source, and
svn commit hooks ("fixes, references, etc")
You can integrate SQL 'reports' and the Wiki together. This rocks!
Ticket tracking
Roadmap graphs
Plugins
Can have different 'Tracs' setups on same server (I run two - biz
and personal)
On the negative side:
It is a little tricky to install IMHO.
It uses SQLlite (this is a pro and a con at the same time)
doesn't seem to be updated with any frequency or regularity
it's not even a 1.0 -- but that's all the rage with the kids it
seems
v0.11 is due "any day now"
all written in python (yuk)
Tickets are sort of cumbersome
and they store the TEXTUAL names rather than relations. *sigh*
(for example, if you change an employee,
you have to search and replace the NAME,
not just a 'user' relational link) .WTF.

I haven't used PhpED, but I use Zend Studio Pro at work. It is hands-down the
best PHP IDE I've used. (As I said, I cannot compare it to PhpED
specifically.) Little things like project management and code completion and
such "just work" better than any other tool I've found, and it's debugger and
profiler are also first-rate. Performance is good, too.
At home, I've been avoiding buying it because it's $300 flipping dollars, and
I'm wary of their time-based licensing. It's also, of course, very non-Free,
and I try to stick to open source programs at home (and at work when I can).
I've bounced around between a lot of different PHP editing tools. At the
moment I'm using Eclipse-PDT, which is finally not so slow as to be unsable
as previous versions of Eclipse were. It's nowhere near as nice as Zend
Studio, but at least it's [F|f]ree and once you figure out the weirdness that
is Eclipse it gets the job done. Still need to get it talking to XDebug,
though.

I use the User-Agent Switcher add-on for Firefox for this. It's so
easy I don't even really consider it a "hack" -- it's a "feature". :-)
With it, I can not only change the UserAgent string sent in web page
requests, but I can also change the values of the userAgent, appName,
appVersion, platform, vendor and vendorSub properties of the built-in
navigator object in JavaScript.

That's true... if you use ie; konquerer, and adjust settings as "send no
identification", then php script has nothing to determine browser type, OS
etc. etc. The other way to hide identification + ip address is to use proxy
servers, which is very common nowadays.

I have a bank account and would like to query the last transactions.
I can do that now via web and think that I can convert this procedure to
a list of curl requests and finally put the result into a database on my
server.
Fortunately this bank account does not allow transactions, just viewing
the account.
Is there a guide available how to start this project?
