You might try http://www.boutell.com/zipcodes/ and download the data file, add it to a database, and then pull the lat/long when you query a zipcode. If you don't have a db, you could probably do the same with a flat file.

Re: If condition for moving to another page

Wed, 16 Mar 2011 23:40:13 -0700

pseudocoder posted a reply on the PHP forum.

header() is a really picky function; if you have any browser output at all before calling it, you won't get anything - that includes any files that you "require" or "include". Check that first.

Another thing to try is the identity operator. if($call_type === 'Incoming') { ... }

One last thing is try outputting a string of some kind from within your if/else if/else structure. If you see your output, then header() is *probably* not liking something - browser output, stray new line at the end of a file, etc.

One thing you might try is using a scrolling div within a table

<table>
   <th>ID</th><th>Name</th><th>Age</th>
   <tr>
      <td>
         <div style="height: 110px; overflow: auto">
            <table>
               <?php
                  $res = mysql_query("select * from Student_Info");
                  if(mysql_num_rows($res) > 0) {
                     while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) {
                        echo "<tr>" .
                             "<td>" . $row['id'] . "</td>" .
                             "<td>" . $row['name'] . "</td>" .
                             "<td>" . $row['age'] . "</td></tr>";
                     }
                  }
               ?>
            </table>
         </div>
      </td>
   </tr>
</table>

It's super late for me, but hopefully it's valid code... my eyeballs are blurry. :D I didn't do any formatting of the table(s), but maybe something like that.

PHP and Database Question

Tue, 15 Feb 2011 15:59:27 -0700

Codeisle posted a new message on the PHP forum.

I'm working on this PHP script and I have a problem I'm trying to avoid: keeping database record accuracy, especially on a website with many active users. For example, keeping the number of entries into a newsletter database limited to 100 emails.

I assume that, theoretically, several 1000 people could enter their email and press submit on a form at around the same time, so doing a check for entry count in the database may be inaccurate. The check may be untrue, because someone else (user b) could be added to the database after a check (for user count) and before an update (adding user a). I thought of using optimistic locking as a solution. But the way I understand it, with optimistic locking, I may have to display an error if the data was previously updated by another user submission (checking the timestamp). An error message is not very desirable for the end user, so I thought of this pseudocode using the idea of optimistic locking but without an error message everytime the timestamp has changed:

sub adduser(tries) {

if all tries are exhausted {

display error 

} else {

check if entries are less than the max defined in the database

if max was reached {

display a message to user informing them no more entries may be submitted

} else {

get current timestamp

...do stuff

check timestamp with one stored in the database

If timestamp was changed by another submission before the update { 

call adduser(tries-1) (recursively, to hopefully get a timestamp that is unaltered)

} else {

add user's email to list in db

update timestamp in the database

display a message telling the user that the submission was successful
}
}
}

This is just a basic idea I had (I know a lot is missing from the code, but my only concern is keeping the count under control).

Does anyone think this is a solid solution (or that I'm at least on the right track), or is there a better way to deal with this?

Hello
Not sure what you mean but if your talking about a log in then when the login is correct you can us this to redirect to a page.

header("Location: myaccount.php");

Then use cookies or sessions to find who it is!

Just dont put it after <html> otherwise it want redirect! Better on a empty php page with no html!

Sessions in regard to domain

Hi!

I got following problem.
My PHP session is not the same for mysite.com and www.mysite.com. Ie, when user logs in to www.mysite.com, he is not automatically logged in to mysite.com and vice-versa.

I've tried using following code without any success:

session_set_cookie_params(0 , '/', '.mysite.com');
session_start();

... as well as:

ini_set('session.cookie_domain', '.mysite.com');
session_start();

... and as well as:

ini_set('session.cookie_domain', (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],'.') !== false) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] : '');
session_start();

So, after trying to convince my host company to deal with this in php.ini, I am left without options known to me.

How do I deal with this?

I assume you know how to write your own HTML. If not, you have to learn that first. CSS and a little JavaScript would be helpful eventually but not needed to move on to the next learning steps.

Use PHP and MySQL because they are free and widely available.

Follow through some w3schools.com tutorials to study PHP, MySQL, and get that stuff installed on your computer. Get Apache HTTP Server installed on your computer along with PHP and MySQL. This will help you test and debug your practice projects as you learn.

Learning PHP and MySQL can take a while but nothing worth having comes without hard work.

Eventually, publish them to a free or paid web hosting service so they can be shown to potential employers and made available to the general public.

getdate() always returning 0 for the day?

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 09:01:45 -0700

Sephiroth posted a new message on the PHP forum.

Alright, I am trying to get the day of the week that the month started on so I can produce a PHP-based calendar for a site I am developing. For some reason however, "getdate()" is always forcing "wday" to zero. It's driving me insane because after hours of searching, I have come across several other calendars that use the exact same code that I use and they work. I don't get why this is happening, could somebody explain this, or is it another PHP anomaly?

$CurMonth = (date("n") - 1);
$CurYear = date("Y");
$Timestamp = mktime(0, 0, 0, $CurMonth, 1, $CurYear);
$MaxDay = date("t", $Timestamp);
$ThisMonth = getdate($Timestamp);
$StartDay = $ThisMonth['wday'];

Thanks for any help offered.

*EDIT*

I figured it out. Apparently the "mktime()" function in PHP doesn't adhere to regular coding practices, and the month range is 1-12, not 0-11. I modified the code as shown below and it works properly now.

$Timestamp = mktime(0, 0, 0, ($CurMonth + 1), 1, $CurYear);

Class calling itself?

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 13:18:46 -0700

Sephiroth posted a new message on the PHP forum.

Alright, I'm developing an ultra-lightweight PHP class to parse basic XHTML templates and have hit a snag. Some of my templates include other templates to reduce file-size and repetitive code, as well as allowing things like menus to be modified by editing one single file instead of a menu on every page.

What happens is when my template-parser attempts to replace tags in a sub-template, the page never loads at all. It just completely stops working. I get nothing from the server, even if I wrap every line with "echo" statements.

Here is the function in question:

  //Public method to replace all tags on the page with their respective data
  public function ReplaceTags($Tags = array())
  {
    $SubPage = new Page(NULL);

    if(sizeof($Tags > 0))
    {
      foreach($Tags as $Tag => $Data)
      {
        //$Data = (file_exists($Data)) ? $this->Parse($Data) : $Data;
        if(file_exists($Data))
        {
          if($SubPage->LoadTemplate($Data))
          {
            if($SubPage->ReplaceTags($Tags))
              $Data = $SubPage->OutputBuffer($Data);
            else
              $Data = "<p>Failed to replace tags in template: " . $Data . "</p>";
          }
          else
            $Data = "<p>Failed to load sub-template: " . $Data . "</p>";
        } 

        $this->TempPage = eregi_replace("{" . $Tag . "}", $Data, $this->TempPage);
      }
    }
    else
      return false;

    return true;
  }

If I comment out the stuff after checking to see whether or not the file exists, everything works except sub-templates don't get parsed and as such, display funky tags instead of data. The class is called "Page".

In your login form you have this fields:

<input type="password" name="2" id="2" accesskey="p" tabindex="2" />

But in signin.php you are reading this:
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];

You have to correct the form using the names expected in signin.php:
<input type="text" name="username" id="username" accesskey="u" tabindex="1" />
<input type="password" name="password" id="password" accesskey="p" tabindex="2" />

Help required on php logic hook or similar function

Fri, 07 May 2010 16:20:17 -0700

popovich posted a new message on the PHP forum.

Hello,

I have started a project and I ran into a brick wall as I don’t know enough coding. The first thing I need
Help on is, I need to create a logic hook or similar that will calculate some data before saving.

I have 2 tables in mysql:
1. Stat_daily,
This table contains the following fields:
a. date: this is the date representing the day for which this value belongs to.
b. Value: this represent a numerical value.
c. Stat_Code: This code represent and ID for the statistical entry for that week.

2. Weekly:
This table contain the following fields:
a. Ween_ending_date: this is the date representing the end of the working week, usually a Thursday
b. Value: this represent a numerical value.
c. Stat_Code: This code represent and ID for the statistical entry for that week.
d. Automatic_Calculation: yes/no

I need a logic hook or similar that will do the following when the Automatic_Calculation field is set to” yes”.
When I entered the date, Value and stat_code in the Stat_daily table and save the date i want the system to automatically add this
Values and save the data in the weekly table:

Lets say I entered on stats_daily for Friday, the first day of the working week.
Date: 07/05/2010 Value: 55 stat_code:DP1
Click save:

The code will automatically take that value and added to the weekly table that contains the week _ending_date: 13/05/2010 because Friday 7/05/2010 is consider to be the first day of the week into the stat_code DP1

Then when I enter the send day of the week which is Monday
Date:10/05/2010 Value: 75 stat_code DP1
The code will then take the value 75 and added to the weekly table containing week_edning_date: 13/05/20110 under the stat_code:DP1, so the new value will be 130.
And repeat the same operation when I entered Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. So at the end of the week Thursday I will have all the individual values added up together and saved in the table weekly for the stat_code DP1

When the new week starts again on Friday, the system will start again from "0", for the new weekly values based on the new week ending date which should be 20/05/2010 .

If the automatic-Calculation field is set to “no” nothings happend and the values in Weekly table have to be entered manually once a week as we do not have stat_code link in the Stat_daily that will represent that code on the weekly table.

Is there anyone in this forum skill enough to help with this code?

Sincerely,
Derek P

Does anyone know of a way to place a maximum amount of time on a function?

Let's say I have a function called Foo() and a lot is happening in that function. I want to be able to say to PHP run this function, but if it takes more then let's say 5 seconds I want it to trigger an Exception or something...

Or if that would be possible just use some sort of TimeOut like javascript has so that I could trigger that after 5 seconds

I don't think there is such functionality in PHP but if anyone knows how to do somethink like this I'd be glad if you told me...

Re: How to handle data from different html lists?

What a bunch of code you posted there... :-P

Most is Javascript though...
It's not really clear what you want, but I guess you want to be able to know from witch ul list your data came...?

like:

<input name="person1_name" />
<input name="person1_address" />
<input name="person1_age" />

<input name="person2_name" />
<input name="person2_address" />
<input name="person2_age" />

in your php you would then want to save the data from person1 and person2 seperately. is this what you mean?

you could simply do it by naming your varialble a certain way so you can split the data easily, like I did in the above example. I can now do the following:

foreach($_POST as $field=>$value) {
  list($person,$variable) = explode("_", $field);

  switch($person) {
    case "person1":
      $person1[$variable] = $value;
      break;
    case "person2":
      $person1[$variable] = $value;
      break;
    default:
      echo "this is not personal info...".$person."<br />";
  }
}

// now save your person1 and person2... their data is in seperate arrays now...

I hope this was helpfull, if not you'd better rephrase your question...

Re: translating code from C/C++ to PHP or Javascript

Hi.

if you could give us a pseudocode of the functions, or explain what each line does, then we could help better.

There are some similarities in the syntax with php and c. but the other function calls are quite confusing

The best way to learn. is

1. Get all the tools required, server, editor, database etc.
2. read some books or online tutorial.
3. do some samples and walkthroughs..
4. create your own samples.

Re: Single drop down using MySQL with text input field

Agbagbara posted a reply on the PHP forum.

Hi.

How far have you gone with a solution.

I think you would have to do the first insert, get the id from the first insert and then use it as an id in the second table.

Let us know what you table structure is.

so we can help better

Re: websites background color changes

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 16:18:06 -0700

Agbagbara posted a reply on the PHP forum.

To do a background change you need to use javascript.

this is the function which I use on my site

write_background(m_string){
var t_string = "url('"+m_string+"')";
document.body.style.backgroundImage = t_string;
}

and then you just call the function in the on the page.

write_background('url to image');

Dont forget to embed the function call in a script tag. also I think that you may want to use the full path "http:\\url " to the image file rather that a relative path

Steps.
1. using php or javascript, determine which image you want to set as the background.
2. pass the url string to the write_background function.

Hope this helps.

Hi.

dont know if you have fixed this.

But note that if the site is going to be global , the time on the php will only reflect the time on the server.

To get the users client time you would have to use javascript instead.

Unless you assume that all the users of the site will be at one location.

Need some advices on RSS reader

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 08:32:01 -0700

silvercover posted a new message on the PHP forum.

Hi Guys :),

I need to make desktop based RSS reader (in desktop RAD tools). I know how to fetch RSS feeds and load headlines and contents into my application. Obviously we can ping remote site once in a while to check for new entries in its RSS, but I prefer not doing this and have my server side application be notified about new entries and send notification to my client application for making it ready parse new entries.

I think server side application could be written in PHP and can have some sort of TCP/IP connection (Socket) to desktop application. first of all I need your advices and tips on this theory and if possible, please guide me to the right direction.

What should I do?
What's the best way?

Thanks in Advance.

The code is ran before countbox is initialized. You need to run it after the page has loaded.

<script type="text/javascript" >
function DoGetCount()
{
  GetCount('<?php echo $year; ?>','<?php echo $month; ?>','<?php echo $day; ?>');
}
window.onload=DoGetCount;
</script>
