Re: [PHP] Preview button to show PDF without submitting post data?
You could just open in a new window a php script that generates the "preview"
pdf with a content-type header for pdf.
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
Or if the "preview" pdf is not dinamic, just point the url to the pdf.
No javascript needed, just a link, o a submit button on a form with the
url as the "action" attribute. If you need it to open on a new window,
use target="_blank", or better target="pdf" if you want consecutive
requests to open in the same window instead of a new one everytime.
Note: if you are not using transitional html and care about validation, the
target attribute is not allowed. In that case you would need javascript to open
a new window.

Asunto: [PHP] Preview button to show PDF without submitting post data?
PHP Users,
I have a page that generates a PDF document using PHP. It takes form
data filled in by the user to fill out the PDF
When the user clicks "submit", it emails that PDF document to the
intended recipient.
However, I would like to add a "preview" function as well. But for a
variety of reasons, instead of submitting the form data through post and
re-filling all the fields with the selected data, I'd like to be able to
open a new window with an example PDF without actually submitting the form.
I think this might need JavaScript, but I'm not sure.
Is this possible?
Thank you for any advice.

Re: [PHP] question about smarty
I'm not sure where is the problem, but can't you just define every changing
part in your template as variables and assign them as needed from php?
If you need to change the image url, just make it a variable, like in
background:url(images/{$img})
Then you just assign the variable as needed in each file:
//template1.php
$img = 'mi_image_1.gif';
$smarty->assign( 'img', $img );
//template2.php
$img = 'mi_image_2.gif';
$smarty->assign( 'img', $img );
That way you don't need to use the {if} inside smarty and make your template
lighter.

Asunto: [PHP] question about smarty
i am using smarty template engine at work place, following is the situation
i already have 1 template that has already been created example =
http://localhost/sites/template1.com this works fine
following is the folder structure i have for smarty on xampp
1. C:\xampp\htdocs\sites\template1.com where i have .htaccess index.php and
siteconf.php
2. C:\xampp\htdocs\sites\_templates\templates\template1
in the siteconf.php file there are all the major variables defined which are
accessed in other tpl file of the templates example in aboutus page,
contactus page etc of this template1
now i have created another template called template2 and this also has the
same structure
1. C:\xampp\htdocs\sites\template2.com where i have .htaccess index.php and
siteconf.php
2. C:\xampp\htdocs\sites\_templates\templates\template2
my question is the look and feel when i access
http://localhost/sites/template1.com and
http://localhost/sites/template2.com
is the same the only thing that needs to be done is for template2 when i
access http://localhost/sites/template2.com ONLY the header image should be
different compared to the header i have for
http://localhost/sites/template1.com this is the only change i need
i am not aware as to the php code i need to write so that when i access
http://localhost/sites/template2.com the header image changes and this new
header image remains for the entire pages of
http://localhost/sites/template2.com
presently in header.tpl of template1 is written as follows
{if strpos($Data.KEYWORD,"rv rental") === false}
{else}
{/if}
so i need to chane the {if} {else} where i need to mention that if i am
accessing http://localhost/sites/template2.com then the header image should
be different.
any help will be greatly appreciated.
please advice.
thanks.

Re: [PHP] regex for multiple line breakes
Right. I saw it later. To be completely multiplatform I'd use a grouping:
(\n|\r|\r\n){2,}. If I'm not wrong, these are all the actual formats for a new
line.
If we replace \r with a newline we could fail if the text comes from a MAC OS.

You still have an issue with your regex:
$data[txt] = preg_replace('`[\r\n]+`',"\n",$data[txt]);
Even if you replace the + with a {2,} you are asking it to match any one
of the characters in the square brackets twice or more and replace it
with a single \n. If your line breaks actually do consist of the \r\n
pattern, then the {2,} will match those two characters, not two sets of
those characters. You might be better off replacing all \r characters
with an empty string, and then matching against the \n character only.

Re: [PHP] regex for multiple line breakes
You are replacing 1 or more matchs of a new line. To match 2 or more you can
use "{2,}". It's a range, first number means min matches, second max matches.
Omitting last number means no max limit.
$data[txt] = preg_replace('`[\r\n]{2,}`',"\n",$data[txt]);

Asunto: [PHP] regex for multiple line breakes
Hi there,
I am trying to remove multiple linebreakes from a textarea input. Spammers tend
to insert multiple line breakes. The problem is, that I want to allow 2 line
breaks so basic formating should be allowed.
I am doing this by regex:
$data[txt] = preg_replace('`[\r\n]+`',"\n",$data[txt]);
I would need a regex that allows \r\n\r\n, but not more than this.
Thank you for any help,
Merlin

Asunto: RE: [PHP] Newbie: Array of objects iteration
@LinuxManMikeC and all @All
Thanks. I was more or less aware of that possibility, however, please let me
share the big picture will you guys:
The main point is to access the properties name as well as values, of that
object, and put them on a xls file.
Instead of using mysql_num_rows, and mysql_num_files, and split and use a
bunch of loops I thought:
Maybe fetching as an object may help me doing this far better.
However, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make the switch.
To be honest, I don't really know if iterate is the "buzz word" here, I
would like to understand a little bit more the following:
We have in our hands an Object returned by a Fetch_All w/ fetch_obj option
applied to it, that object, when I do var_dump, reveals himself as in
object, containing an array and, each key of that array corresponds the
column names of our table or tables we have previously fetched.
However, since we are working with an object, should we think differently
than if we were working with an array? If so, it is, in the fact, iteration,
the best option we have to put all properties and values into a xls file? Or
there are far better options for that?
@Lester
Yes, actually, I was having only one record on the database, but I believe
that is far to less. Since I was not been able to see if I was getting one
object, or several objects. That make me think of that. Thanks :) And
because of that, I was able (I hope) to properly understand Fernando
example:
@Fernando
foreach ( $records as $record ) {
foreach( $record as $column=>$value ) {
echo "$column is $value\n";
}
}
So the first foreach will iterate over each object of stdClass that
corresponds to each record of mysql data fetched, then, for each of them,
take the associative array key and the corresponding value...
Correct? :DDD
However, is this the right track to archive the goal stated above, or, they
are far better ways for doing so?
Regards,
Márcio
-
Correct about my example, although I'm not sure if you get each record as an
array or as an object. Anyway, you can iterate both.
And if you want to get the column names, I suppose you could use array_keys()
on the first record if you receive an array, or maybe get_object_vars() if it's
an objecs (note that with this you get an array with keys and values).
I've found PDOStatement->getColumnMeta(). There's a big fat warning saying this
is experimental, but you could take a look in case you need more data on the
columns.
Hope it helps.
Re: [PHP] Newbie: Array of objects iteration
I think you are just looking for the key in the wrong place. Try:
foreach ( $records as $record ) {
foreach( $record as $column=>$value ) {
echo "$column is $value\n";
}
}
You've got the columns names in each record, not in the global recorset.
Good luck ;-)

Hello all,
I'm grabbing all records from a table using:
$records = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
return $records;
In order to display the values we can do:
foreach ($records as $record)
{
echo $record->id;
echo $record->name;
}
However, I'd like to grab, also, the *column names*.
I've tried:
foreach ($records as $column=>$value)
{
echo "$column is $value\n";
}
But I get:
"Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to
string"
Can I have your help on how can I properly get the column values?

Re: [PHP] Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>'
Reading again, it's not just one miss. You have to close some strings, escape
some quotes, etc
I think this can be right:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM melstatus WHERE custID=$custID ORDER BY
aircraftRegistration";
$q = mysql_query($q)
or die ("could not execute query.");
echo "
\n";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($q))
{
echo " ".$row['melID']." ";
echo "\n";
}
echo "";
I'd recomend you to get a good text editor with sintax highlighting if you
haven't one. It would warn you from most of these mistakes.
