    Greetings, My current code logs into a database, opens a table named randomproverb, randomly selects 1 proverb phrase, and then SHOULD display the proverb in the footer of my web page. As of right now, the best I can do is get it to display "Array", but not the text proverb... this code below actually causes my whole footer to not even show up. Please help! <?php include("inc_connect.php"); //Connects to the database, does work properly, already tested $Proverb = "randomproverb"; $SQLproverb = "SELECT * FROM $Proverb ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1"; $QueryResult = @mysql_query($SQLproverb, $DBConnect); while (($Row = mysql_fetch_assoc($QueryResult)) !== FALSE) { echo "<p style = 'text-align:center'>" . {$Row[proverb]} . "</p>\n"; } $SQLString = "UPDATE randomproverb SET display_count = display_count + 1 WHERE proverb = $QueryResult[]"; $QueryResult = @mysql_query($SQLstring, $DBConnect); ... ?>

    I am creating a quiz, with Multiple choice, true and false, and fill in the blanks questions. The first 2 types are working fine, and I am working on tesing the fill the blank questions... See code: //QUESTION 9 if (empty($_POST["ix"])) { $ixErr = "Please select an answer."; } else { $ix = test_input($_POST["ix"]); // check if question only contains letters and whitespace if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z ]*$/",$ix)) { $ixErr = "Only letters and white space allowed."; else ($ix == "charming") { $score = $score+10; echo "<p>9.) " . $ix . " is correct.</p>\n"; } else { echo "<p>9.) " . $ix . " is incorrect.</p>\n"; } } } First, I am testing to see if it is empty, if yes, display error, otherwise use the test_input function on the entered information. Then I want to test and verify that the entered data only contains characters and/or blank spaces, if that returns yes, then I want to test the content for the correct answer. But for some reason the code gets stuck upon testing for the correct answer, please note: I did try elseif, but same issue, please help, thank you.

    Good evening, I am working on a program that takes images, and casts them into an associated array, I then want to display thumbnails of those images into a 3 column by 4 row table... [image][image][image] [image][image][image] [image][image][image] [image][image][image] (For my visual friends) here is my current, pardon for the mess, but right now, functionality is more important. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Zodiac Gallery</title> </head> <body> <h2 style="text-align:center">Zodiac Gallery</h2> <p>Click a thumbnail image to see enlarged view.</p> <?php $ZodiacArray = array ( "Images/rat.jpg" => "Rat", "Images/ox.jpg" => "Ox", "Images/tiger.jpg" => "Tiger", "Images/rabbit.jpg" => "Rabbit", "Images/dragon.jpg" => "Dragon", "Images/snake.jpg" => "Snake", "Images/horse.jpg" => "Horse", "Images/goat.jpg" => "Goat", "Images/monkey.jpg" => "Monkey", "Images/rooster.jpg" => "Rooster", "Images/dog.jpg" => "Dog", "Images/pig.jpg" => "Pig"); foreach ($ZodiacArray as $image => $zodiac) { echo "<table> <tr> <td><img src="$image" alt="$zodiac" style="width:68px;height:65px"></td <td><img src="$image" alt="$zodiac" style="width:68px;height:65px"></td> <td><img src="$image" alt="$zodiac" style="width:68px;height:65px"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="$image" alt="$zodiac" style="width:68px;height:65px"></td> <td><img src="$image" alt="$zodiac" style="width:68px;height:65px"></td> <td><img src="$image" alt="$zodiac" style="width:68px;height:65px"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="$image" alt="$zodiac" style="width:68px;height:65px"></td> <td><img src="$image" alt="$zodiac" style="width:68px;height:65px"></td> <td><img src="$image" alt="$zodiac" style="width:68px;height:65px"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="$image" alt="$zodiac" style="width:68px;height:65px"></td> <td><img src="$image" alt="$zodiac" style="width:68px;height:65px"></td> <td><img src="$image" alt="$zodiac" style="width:68px;height:65px"></td> </tr> </table>"; ?> Help is welcome, thank you.

    Ok, so I have a variable named $zodiac that is running through an array, based on the year chosen, and selecting the appropriate animal! I also have an Images folder containing a pic of each of the zodiac animals. I want to insert the images based on the $zodiac array animal chosen, so as an example... <?php echo '<img src="Images\" . $zodiac . ".jpg">'; ?> Please help.

    So, maybe I should explain, the goal is someone goes to the page, to view a zodiac, based on there DOB. The text box requests their DOB: I want the form to take the inputed data, ie. 1977 or whatever, and store it in a file, the (count/$year.txt) $year = 1977 as an example, (count/1977.txt); I then want the $year_count to go into the file, collect the total inputs, so if 3 users entered 1977; and display you are number 3 to enter 1977, for some reason I enter a year, it does not create the file as mentioned above, which then obviously does not display the total users who entered that respective year.

    Greetings, I am new to these forums, I am working on this assignment, and these are the current issues I am running into. Notice: Undefined variable: year in G:\EasyPHP-5.3.2i\www\PHP_Projects\ChineseZodiacs\zodiac_year_switch.php on line 77 ie. $year = validateInput($year,"Birth Year"); Notice: Undefined variable: year_count in G:\EasyPHP-5.3.2i\www\PHP_Projects\ChineseZodiacs\zodiac_year_switch.php on line 138 ie. echo "<p>You are person " . $year_count . "to enter " . $year . "</p>\n"; Honestly, I believe they are linked, because what should be happening, as the user enters the year, and hits submit, it should create a file called counts/$year.txt - $year should equal the entered data in the textbox, any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your help. <!DOCTYPE html> <head> <title>Write to and From a File</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <?php $dir = "counts"; if ( !file_exists($dir)) { mkdir ($dir, 0777); } function validateInput($year, $fieldname) { global $errorCount; if (empty($year)) { echo "\"$fieldname\" is a required field.<br />\n"; ++$errorCount; $retval = ""; } else { // if the field on the form has been filled in if(is_numeric($year)) { if($year >=1900 && $year <=2014) { $retval = $year; } else { ++$errorCount; echo "<p>You must enter a year between 1900 and 2014.</p>\n"; } } else { ++$errorCount; echo "<p>The year must be a number.</p>\n"; } } //ends the else for empty return($retval); } //ends the function function displayForm() { ?> <form action = "<?php echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']; ?>" method = "post"> <p>Year of Birth: <input type="text" name="year" /></p> <p><input type="reset" value="Clear Form" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Show Me My Sign" /></p> </form> <?php } function StatisticsForYear($year) { global $year_count; $counter_file = "counts/$year.txt"; if (file_exists($counter_file)) { $year_count = file_get_contents($counter_file); file_put_contents($counter_file, ++$year_count); } else { $year_count = 1; file_put_contents($counter_file, $year_count); } return ($year_count); }?> </head> <body> <?php $showForm = true; $errorCount = 0; //$year=$_POST['year']; $zodiac=""; $start_year =1900; if (isset($_POST['submit'])) $year = $_POST['year']; $year = validateInput($year,"Birth Year"); if ($errorCount==0) $showForm = false; else $showForm = true; if ($showForm == true) { //call the displayForm() function displayForm(); } else { //begins the else statement //determine the zodiac $zodiacArray = array("rat", "ox", "tiger", "rabbit", "dragon", "snake", "horse", "goat", "monkey", "rooster", "dog", "pig"); switch (($_POST['year'] - $start_year) % 6) { case 0: $zodiac = $zodiacArray[0]; break; case 1: $zodiac = $zodiacArray[1]; break; case 2: $zodiac = $zodiacArray[2]; break; case 3: $zodiac = $zodiacArray[3]; break; case 4: $zodiac = $zodiacArray[4]; break; case 5: $zodiac = $zodiacArray[5]; break; case 6: $zodiac = $zodiacArray[6]; break; case 7: $zodiac = $zodiacArray[7]; break; case 8: $zodiac = $zodiacArray[8]; break; case 9: $zodiac = $zodiacArray[9]; break; case 10: $zodiac = $zodiacArray[10]; break; case 11: $zodiac = $zodiacArray[11]; break; default: echo "<p>The Zodiac for this year has not been determined.</p>\n"; break; } //ends the switch statement echo "<p>You were born under the sign of the " . $zodiac .
