Re: [PHP] help with print value

[Miles Thompson]

You're talking about a table in a database, correct? Assuming the database 
is MySQL, you would:

1. open a connection to the database
2. execute a SQL select statement to fetch the data
3. process the results, formatting them into HTML.

There are a number of tutorials on doing this, but it's only a few lines of 
code:


1. Connect to the database:

require( "dbname.inc" ); //stores your hostname, username and password 
outside the script.
$db = mysql_pconnect("$host", "$user", "$pass") or die("Unable to connect 
to server");


2. Create your query, usually done by first assigning it to a variable. 
That way, if you are not getting the results you want it's easy to echo the 
SQL to the screen:


$sql = "SELECT month, day, value from sometable order by month, day";  // 
use your own field names in place of month, etc.

 $result = mysql_query($sql); // executes the SQL statement
 //echo $result .    . mysql_num_rows( $result) . "";

3. test for and process the results. Here we assume a table displayed in 
the user's browser.


if( $result && mysql_num_rows( $result) ){//test that you have a result 
AND that number of rows is > 0. Remember the convention that 0 is false.

   while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  //assuming you have issued a  somewhere above ...
  echo " " . $myrow['month'] . "";  // the "." (dot) 
concatenates in PHP
  echo " . $myrow['day'] . ""; // or should we 
say "joins strings and variables"
  echo " . $myrow['value'] . " ";  // and of course, 
close the row

   }
}

That's rudimentary. There is no WHERE condition on the SELECT which you 
would use if you wanted a particular month or year.


Hope this has been helpful. Check out the various tutorials; there are 
probably some written in Spanish. Go to:

http://www.php.net/links.php
and scroll down to Spanish, there are four links there.

Re: [PHP] Running a PHP script everyday

[Miles Thompson]

If you're on Windows, use Task Manager and have it start an instance of a 
web browser, with your URL and script passed to it.

or
Cron job on server, if you have that level of access.

That's not lame, it's just Windows version of cron. You can also set it up 
using "at" from the console, but it still shows up in Task Manager.

[PHP] dynamic two column table

[Sebastian]

i know how to break up db results into two tables but im having a hard 
problem with this:


db structure

---
| id | cid | title
---
| 1  | 2  | hardware
| 2  | 3  | software
| 3  | 3  | software
| 4  | 2  | hardware


how can i have hardware on column 1 and software on column 2 using 1 
query? i thought a simple if statement on cid might do it but regardless 
it spreads the results on both columns.


thanx.

Re: [PHP] Running a PHP script everyday

[sub]

My include statment looks like this:
include "sending.php";

The ones from MimeMail are:
are include(); and require_once();

Heres the response I get when using /usr/local/bin/php:

/bin/sh: public_html/wap/mailer/dailylist.php: /usr/local/bin/php
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Maybe I'm messing up my syntax. I have:

#!/usr/local/bin/php


I did notice that when I FTP into my site I can not get to /usr or any of
its' subfolders. Could this be an access issue?

No, but you will need to use one of the following for them:

include()
include_once()
require()
require_once()

Re: [PHP] Running a PHP script everyday

[sub]

I can't figure out how to get into command line access through my webhost.
I've tried telnet and it fails.

My host uses cPanel. When I setup the crontab it e-mails me back this
response:

/bin/sh: public_html/wap/mailer/dailylist.php: /usr/bin/php
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I'm assuming that it means it can't find "/user/bin/php"

I ran a "whereis php" through a cronjob and got this:

php: /usr/src/php-4.3.8/php.ini-recommended /usr/src/php-4.3.8/php.ini-dist
/usr/src/php-4.3.8/php.gif /usr/src/php-4.3.8/php4.spec
/usr/src/php-4.3.10/php.ini-recommended /usr/src/php-4.3.10/php.ini-dist
/usr/src/php-4.3.10/php.gif /usr/src/php-4.3.10/php4.spec /usr/bin/php
/usr/lib/php /usr/lib/php.ini /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/lib/php
/usr/local/lib/php.ini /usr/include/php

I tried them all except the ones with "src" And still get the same message,
but of course it doesn't say /user/bin/php, it says whichever one I put in
the file.

Now the main PHP file calls to 3 other PHP files in it. Do I need to put
that at the top of each of them as well. I didn't think so because they
aren't being executed. They are called using the include statement.

Also when I use #!/usr/include/php I get the response back from the cron
job, but when I use "#!/usr/include/php -q" like the tutorial says nothing
happens. What does the "-q" do?

You can "cron" the script to run.

Do the following:

1) Add #!/usr/bin/php as the first line on your .php file. If
/usr/bin/php isn't where your php binary lives, type "whereis php" to
find out
2) Make sure you chmod +x your php script.

As far as I know, you can't set the initial values for 'file' inputs.

Re: [PHP] Running a PHP script everyday

And how do you automate closing the browser when it's job is done?  I 
believe the wget method mentioned earlier might be more appropriate.  
Even Lynx for Windows set to dump output (rather than stay open for 
browsing) would be better than leaving IE or FF open.

setup so that I just run it from my cell phone, but I would prefer 
   


something
   

automated. I'd looked into a cron job, but that just looks like 
   


it's for
   


doing linux command line stuff on my host.

I also thought about writing a never ending while loop with an if 
   


statement
   

that checks to see if it's time to run the script, then when it is 
   


time, it
   


runs. Then checks to see if it's time again.

But even assuming I could get it working, do I really want to have 
   


a PHP
   

script that runs all the time. This could be bad if it ate up all 
   


the CPU on
   

my server. I'm not even sure I have access rights to kill the 
   


process once I
   


start it.

Any suggestions?

You don't state what OS you are using, but you certainly can use 
 


cron under
   

Linux to run a PHP script. What really matters is what does the PHP 
 


script do?
   

For example, I have a PHP script that I run periodically that 
 


retrieves data
   

from a database and updates a text file on the disk. What does your 
 


script do?

[PHP] input type=file problem (Maybe 0T)

[Ryan A]

Hey,

Heres what I am doing, I have a form where a user can enter values and in
the form I have a FILE box so the
user can upload her pic, if she screws up anywhere (eg: putting an alphabet
in her date of birth) I send her back
to the form and her date of birth gets highlighted plus the value she
entered comes in the date of birth and also
an error explanation underneithso far so good.

The problem is, if she has tried to upload a pic at the same time and
screwed up on the date of birth I am unable
to send back the value of the FILE box so that too get populated... I tried
setting a VALUE="path/file" but that
does not work.

What am I missing here?

Thanks,
Ryan

Re: [PHP] Help with Functions

[Tom Chubb]

Thanks guys for all your help.
I've managed to get it working.
I tried calling the function from within the file and it turned out
that somehow I had messed up my include statement.
I understood about adding argument variables to the syntax, but I
needed to add a text argument as I couldn't think of a way of setting
the variable in a way that I could distinguish between different
values for different tables on the same page.

Anyway, thanks to you all for taking some time to help me out.

Hi all

We develop our software with built-in debug handlers that are very talkative.  
Each class registers itself to a central debug handler. When a conditional 
define NODEBUG is set, that debughandler just does a return null but 
obviously it takes time to perform that call.


We are thinking of doing a search/replace on the source to replace all 
$this->debug('...'); with a ; because if I would replace it with a # it would 
generate errors in cases like this:


if(conditions )
 $this->debug('something...');


asumming replacing the call with ; is valid everywhere it's going to a heck of
a lot faster than calling _any_ function.



So here is the question:

Are there any reasons against doing this kind of replace, or is anyone aware 
of a better solution?


1. use a debugger rather than writing lots of code that logs tons of 'cr*p'?
2. always use braces? so that you can do:

if(conditions ) {
#   $this->debug('something...');
}

3. may put special comment markers in your code that allow you
to filter the files when you 'publish' them into a production env.

/*START_DEBUG_BLOCK*/
if(conditions )
$this->debug('something...');
/*END_DEBUG_BLOCK*/

i.e strip the blocks completely:

$newFile = preg_replace( '#/\*START_DEBUG_BLOCK\*/.*/\*END_DEBUG_BLOCK\*/#',
 '',
 file_get_contents( $yourPhpFile ) );



With kind regards

You'll always be welcome to ask questions so long as you've made some
effort to find the answer yourself beforehand. You may have noticed
that while your post was slightly OT, nobody objected since you had
previously searched, which is more than a lot of people do.

Re: [PHP] Help with Functions

[Rory Browne]

You're declaring your function wrong.

You're doing:

function (function_name)

You should be doing 

function function_name($arg1, $arg2, $arg3) // with as many comma
seperated arguments as you want.

or if you don´t want to pass any arguments

function function_name()


Try this out:

function make_table($arg1, $arg2){
?>

 


 
 

 
$arg1
$arg2
 

ENDOFTABLE;
}

Re: [PHP] exec nor shell_exec not doing as expected.

[Rory Browne]

Does the command work when you try it from the command line?

If so, then try shell_exec("env > some_filename") and show us the results.

If not, then the problem is with your command.

First thing I would check is the existance of /usr/local/bin/mogrify

If you're on windows desktop try this... it might sound a lil lame but 
it works.
Schedule a task to open IE or FF and pass a url to the task . That's it. The

[PHP] execution time of ';'

We develop our software with built-in debug handlers that are very talkative.

Re: [PHP] Running a PHP script everyday

If your script needs to be run by the webserver - if for some reason
cli won´t work for you, then you could always automate a call to the
webserver using wget.

You can get wget for win32 as well as Unix/Linux, so you shouldn´t
have any problems here.

Re: [PHP] Running a PHP script everyday

[André Medeiros]

You can "cron" the script to run.

Do the following:

1) Add #!/usr/bin/php as the first line on your .php file. If
/usr/bin/php isn't where your php binary lives, type "whereis php" to
find out
2) Make sure you chmod +x your php script.
3) http://www.linuxforums.org/tutorials/1/tutorial-4017.html

You don't state what OS you are using, but you certainly can use cron under
Linux to run a PHP script. What really matters is what does the PHP script do?
For example, I have a PHP script that I run periodically that retrieves data
from a database and updates a text file on the disk. What does your script do?

Re: [PHP] Help with Functions

[sub]

I would recomend for sanity and clean code that you define your functions
outside of the file you will be calling it from and include that file in any
file you need to call a function from.

Here's a function that I defined in my db.php file.

/***
 * FUNCTION: DBCheckByMin($min)
 * DESCRIPTION: Checks to see if the user's min already exists
 * RETURNED: exist (1 or 0)
 **/
function DBCheckByMin($min)
{
$record = mysql_query( "SELECT `min` FROM `user` WHERE `min` LIKE '$min'" );

for($i=0; $holder[$i]=mysql_fetch_array( $record ); $i++);

if($min==$holder[0][0])
 {
  $exist=1;
 }
else
 {
  $exist=0;
 }
return $exist;
}

The first line of the file I call this function in includes my function
list:
include "db.php";

And my call to the function itself:
$check=DBCheckByMin($min);



Let's say my user is entering his MIN as "1234567890"

What the function does is catch the value of the variable $min which is
1234567890 when it's called and pass it to the function. Then DBCheckByMin
takes the value 1234567890 and assignes it to the variable $min. (I've named
both variables the same so I know what they are) Now that the function has
it's own variable, $min that has a value of "1234567890" It then does some
basic SQL work to find if that MIN already exists in my databse. Then it
sets $exist to either 1 or 0. It sets it to 1 if this is a duplicate entry
and 0 if it's not a duplicate. And let's just say that it did indeed find a
duplicate record so $exist will have the value of 1.  Next on the return
line, the function sends back the value of $exist which is 1. Please
remember when I called the function I had a variable before the function was
called "$check=DBCheckByMin($min);"  This way $check will catch whatever
value the function returns, in this case, that value is 1. Now that check
has a value which indicates that this user already exists I can send a
message to the user saying that it already exists and to try again.

Did that make a bit more sense about how variables are passed between
functions? It's all in the call and definition.

I must have not phased the question well. I have a page on
http://lyricslist.com that links to http://song-lirics.com and it is
very important that the request to http://song-lirics.com has the
referer part of the request intact. There is no id=xxx or whatever,
the server at http://song-lirics.com looks at the $HTTP_REFERER to
grant points. That works great when on http://lyricslist.com I do a
simple lyrics to http://song-lirics.com, but I don't
want to do that. Instead, I link to another page on
http://lyricslist.com so that I can record how many people clicked on
the link, and then I want to redirect to http://song-lirics.com

It's just that with the two redirect methods that I know of (header
and meta), the request to http://song-lirics.com gets there with no
referer information, as if the user typed in the address.

If you want to see it, click:
http://song-lirics.com/sl/goto.php/4
You will be redirected to http://dotancohen.com
Look at the source code, in the first few lines you will see:


No referer! Try clicking around http://dotancohen.com and look at the
source code: they all have referers!

[PHP] allowing selected file types

[Sebastian]

i know i shouldn't rely on mime types for file verification but anyways..

I use application/zip which works fine on firefox and only allows zips.. 
however, on Internet explorer it doesn't work since IE returns 
application/x-zip-compressed for zips.. problem with this is it also 
allow rar files.. so even checking mime types is just as useless as not 
using it.. one mime type allows two different file types. pffft.

[PHP] Running a PHP script everyday

[sub]

I have a PHP script that I need to run once a day.  I have it currently
setup so that I just run it from my cell phone, but I would prefer something
automated. I'd looked into a cron job, but that just looks like it's for
doing linux command line stuff on my host.

I also thought about writing a never ending while loop with an if statement
that checks to see if it's time to run the script, then when it is time, it
runs. Then checks to see if it's time again.

But even assuming I could get it working, do I really want to have a PHP
script that runs all the time. This could be bad if it ate up all the CPU on
my server. I'm not even sure I have access rights to kill the process once I
start it.

Re: [PHP] Redirect with referer info

To obtain a certain portion of the referring url you might look at  
parse_url();

See http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php

- or -

If you want to bounce the user right back to the previous page  
including get variables you could just use this snippet.

Okay, last attempt before I hit my head against wall. I thought perhaps 
to add the error check to the dropdown function itself:

$result = mysql_query($sql);
//now one-by-one go through the questions
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

//if the form has been submitted, and the question unanswered
//highlight this whole question and answer block in red.
if ($message[$row['q_name']] == 1){
echo "";
}

//Make a question set div wrapper
echo "\n";
//State the question
echo "";
echo $row['q_text'] . "";
echo "\n\n";
echo " ";
echo "\n";

//Create the dropdown for the answers
echo '  ';
echo "\n";

//get all of the answers for THIS question
$ans_sql = "select * from answers where answers.q_id=" . $row['q_id'];
$ans_result = mysql_query($ans_sql);

echo "Select from this list\n";
while($ans_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($ans_result)) {

//list the answers for THIS question
echo "" . $ans_row['a_answer'] . "";
echo "\n";
}
echo '  ' . "\n" . ' ' . "\n";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

//if the form has been submitted, and the question unanswered

//highlight this whole question and answer block in red.
if ($message[$row['q_name']] == 1){
echo "";

//Make a question set div wrapper

echo "\n";
//State the question
echo "";
echo $row['q_text'] . "";
echo "\n\n";
echo " ";
echo "\n";
   
//Create the dropdown for the answers

echo '  ';
echo "\n";
   
//get all of the answers for THIS question

$ans_sql = "select * from answers where answers.q_id=" . $row['q_id'];
$ans_result = mysql_query($ans_sql);

echo "Select from this list\n";
while($ans_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($ans_result)) {
   
//list the answers for THIS question

echo "" . $ans_row['a_answer'] . "";
echo "\n";
}
echo '  ' . "\n" . ' ' . "\n";
echo "\n\n";
//If there *was* an error div, close it
if (sizeof($message[$row['q_name']])){
echo "";
}
}
}//function GetQuestionsDropdown


NOW I have to validate after it's submitted. I am trying to look and 
see, if $_POST[$row['q_name']] is empty then make message of the same 
name = 1, so if


   if(empty($_POST['partners'])) {
   $message['partners'] = '1'
}

Then when I restate the dropdown function, and it shows the questions 
again,  those error checking things I built in will

a) show a div class=error around questions with a message
b) pre-select the previously selected answers (because I have put in 
the thing in the dropdown which says


 if ($row['q_name'] == $ans_row['a_id']) { echo " selected";}


The validate code I was trying, the subject of such howling on IRC (and 
I know it doesn't work, but not why) was:


function ValidatePost($cat){
//first get the q_names
$sql = "SELECT * FROM questions WHERE q_cat=$cat";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

//go through the question set
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

  if(empty($_POST[$row['q_name']])){

  $message[$row['q_name']] == "1";

  }
}
}//function ValidatePost

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Re: [PHP] Dropdown Building Function

Perhaps this can help.  I'm sorry the doc is in Spanish, but the code is not 
so large.

There are two funtions, one to load the data for a dropdown list 
(CargaCombo) and the other to show it.  The reason for this is that a single 
combo might be used in two or more places within a web page so this allow 
for reusability, plus it allows for the display of combos not generated from 
the database but from a plain handcoded  array, such as a list of month 
names.

CargaCombo expects an SQL statement.  It will assume the first field is the 
key of the dropdown box.  It will then concatenate every field from the 
second to whichever to make the description.

MuestraCombo will display the dropdown from an array.  It will assume the 
key of the array to be the value attribute of the  tag and the value 
of the array to be the description.  The first parameter is the name of the 
 tag, the third the key value of the item to be pre-selected and the 
fourth an array of events for the object.  This last one has to be in the 
form of  eventName  => action.

For example:

MuestraCombo('SomeName', array(0=>'No',1=>'Yes'),1,array('onClick' => 
'doSomething();'));
