Re: [PHP] Combo Box containing field

2001-03-10 Thread Web Admin

Hi Michael,
Yes I do! Take a look at the code snippet below:

echo "";
$level2 = $db->execute("select typename from types");
   do {
   $value=$level2->fields[0];
   echo "$value";
   $level2->nextRow();
} while (!$level2->EOF);
   $level2->close();
echo "";

Just change the query in the 2nd line of the code to the 
desired query. You'll see the result ;-)
Best of luck,
Ahmad Anvari da Code Guru

  Subject: [PHP] Combo Box containing field


  Hi,

  Does anyone know how I can create a combo box in my php file that reads the options 
in from a database field?

  I can create combo boxes fine containing values that I enter, but I want it to read 
the values from the database into the drop down box for the user to select.

  Thanks,
  Michael.

Hi,
what's up Mick?! 
Okay, what have you written in your script?! You never
wrote it! try include ('./domain.php') instead of 
include ('domain.php') maybe it helps you! I tested
that on my FreeBSD 4.2+apache/php but it seems that
include ('domain.php') is also OK. Just give it a try or
add the directory which domain.php belongs to, to your
php include path.
Take care,
Ahmad

Re: [PHP] No same username

2001-02-25 Thread Web Admin

Or better using:

create table test1 (t1 char(5), t2 char(5), primary key (t1), unique (t2)); 

when creating table. No duplicate records with the same t2 because it's unique.

Re: [PHP] status page between submit and results

2001-02-24 Thread Web Admin

Here?! Sunny today! ;-)
I highly suggest you use client side scripting in this case.
onLoad 
Event handler. A load event occurs when Navigator finishes loading a window or all 
frames within a  tag. The onLoad event handler executes JavaScript code when 
a load event occurs. 

Here's a sample code for your result page:


.. Some Coding Here ...

.. The rest of coding..


That's the snippiest piece of code. [I didn't test it, however, I'm sure that it work 
out]
Create a loading.gif animation gif which shows a [Loading...] animation.
It will be replaced by a blank gif file named blank.gif which shows a blank screen.

Re: [PHP] checking $more still does not work !

2001-02-24 Thread Web Admin

Hi Kaab,
There must be another problem, it should work. Maybe it helps if
you send your code here. To see how a simple script works, try
this tiny script named test.php:




Submit is pressed"; };
?>

If you first load the php page, you don't see anything rather than a 
submit button. If you press submit, you will see a message.

  Hi,
  I'd like to do:
  $function = "build_result()";
  $result = $$function;
  but it doesn't seem to work.
  The reason why I think I need it is that I have a generic function, but 
  within it I have to call another function depending on who called it. I 
  could build a switch within the generic function deciding which function to 
  call, but tht seems less elegant, as I'd have to adjust the generic 
  function every time a new function calls it.
  The build_result() function only gets called in certain cases by the 
  generic function (if it's not cached), so I can't just put it outside fo 
  the generic function.
  Any hints?
  Thanks!

Re: [PHP] Change dir mode to writable for uploading..

2001-02-24 Thread Web Admin

Hi Dhaval,
You said in your previous e-mail 'C:\'. Are you using a NT based
server or Unix based? If your server is a unix based one, consider
trying this command:
chmod 777 /path/to/directory
Warning, this is a bit dangerous and might be vulnerable, are you
running your webserver with nobody? Anyone else has access to
write cgi scripts on your servers? If everything's set up carefully,
you can chown your directory to nobody. It will work with the current
permission.

You asked me in a private e-mail about anti-aliasing. As far
as I know if ImageTTFText function, if you use negative color

Re: [PHP] Passing an array as an argument.

2001-02-06 Thread Web Admin

Hi April,
I suggest you code your array into one string (it depends to the size)
then decode it at the other end using your own code. It's the easiest
trick to pass the array, compress it into one variable, then extract it at 
the other end.
Any other ideas? ;-)

  My code (or at least the important parts):

  global $database_mysql;
  mysql_select_db($database_mysql);

  while (list ($key, $val) = each ($email)) {
 echo "$key => $val";

  }


  #  This will display fine.   #
  while (list ($key, $val) = each ($email)) {
  echo "$key => $val";

  #  Doing the same thing with the function here returns this error,

Re: [PHP] Save to Local Disk

Hi Karl,
Simply put a save button on your page. When it's clicked,
pass document.forms[0].textareaname.value to the other
script, (it's written in javascript, if you're familiar with that),
then you'll access the content of the text box.
to save it on a local disk, simply use javascript again, it
will help you save a file on disk. [altough there are some
security reasons which prohibit you write on the client's
side, you can still do that using the below script] it's a good
guide. however, you have to change some parts:
