Use DATE type columns for your dates, not varchar. Have your leaving dates either a valid date or NULL. SELECT eemp_id , fname , lname , AVG(timestampdiff(MONTH, joining_date, coalesce(leaving_date, curdate()))) as av_mths FROM employee_details ed JOIN employee e ON e.empid = ed.eemp_id GROUP BY eemp_id HAVING av_mths >= 36;

If you are outputting an image from a DB blob field, then here's an example... // EMULATE DATA FROM THE DATABASE $type = 'image/png'; $comments = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Maecenas porttitor congue massa. Fusce posuere, magna sed pulvinar ultricies, purus lectus malesuada libero, sit amet commodo magna eros quis urna.'; $image_data = file_get_contents('images/snowman.PNG'); // OUTPUT THE DATA echo "<div style='width:396;'> <img src='data:{$type};base64," . base64_encode( $image_data ) . "' width='394' height='393'> <p>$comments</p> "; RESULT

With a couple of db tables like this Table: user Table: role +---------+----------+--------+ +---------+---------------+-----------+------------+ | user_id | username | points | | role_id | role_name | point_min | points_max | +---------+----------+--------+ +---------+---------------+-----------+------------+ | 1 | John | 66 | | 5 | - | 0 | 100 | | 2 | Paul | 101 | | 6 | Contributor | 101 | 1000 | | 3 | George | 3000 | | 7 | Author | 1001 | 10000 | | 4 | Ringo | 200000 | | 8 | Editor | 10001 | 100000 | +---------+----------+--------+ | 9 | Administrator | 100001 | 999999999 | +---------+---------------+-----------+------------+ Then a simple query SELECT username , rolename FROM user u JOIN role r ON u.points BETWEEN r.points_min AND r.points_max; does the job for you +----------+---------------+ | username | rolename | +----------+---------------+ | John | - | | Paul | Contributor | | George | Author | | Ringo | Administrator | +----------+---------------+

or... $res = $pdo->query("SELECT `option`, total FROM vote"); $data = $res->fetchAll(); $votes_cast = array_sum( array_column($data, 'total') ); foreach ($data as $r) { printf ("%s has %d votes (%0.1f %%)<br>", $r['option'], $r['total'], $r['total']*100/$votes_cast); }

Depending on what it is you're trying to do with the data, there are several ways to change a field. You can set up an accessor or mutator or use a query scope, for instance. Query scope sounds like what you're looking for, although should worse comes to worst you could just write a trait and use it on your model instances where needed.

For anyone following... I did a screen-share with the OP. The problem was missing files and files in the wrong place. I did a clean install of Laragon and installed (Not upgraded) Mysql 8. All is working.

The PHP DateTime::diff() method provides a very convenient way of getting the days, hours, minutes and seconds components of a time difference so this script uses an AJAX request on loading to get the time remaining. From then on, it calls a javascript function every second to reduce the time displayed by one second. This greatly reduces network traffic and gives a consistent update performance. Repeatedly using AJAX could sometimes result in delays preventing a regular countdown interval. <?php ################################################################################################################## # # # THIS SECTION HANDLES THE AJAX REQUEST AND EXITS TO SEND RESPONSE (Days,hrs, mins, secs remaining) # # # if (isset($_GET['ajax'])) { if ($_GET['ajax'] == 'countdown') { $remain = ['days' => 0, 'hrs' => 0, 'mins' => 0, 'secs' => 0]; $dt1 = new DateTime( $_GET['target'] ); $dt2 = new DateTime('now'); if ($dt1 > $dt2) { $diff = $dt1->diff($dt2); $remain['days'] = $diff->days; $remain['hrs'] = $diff->h; $remain['mins'] = $diff->i; $remain['secs'] = $diff->s; } exit(json_encode($remain)); } } # # ################################################################################################################### $target = '2022-04-30 23:59:59'; // SET OR GET TARGET TIME HERE $targ = new DateTime($target); $target_time = $targ->format('g:ia'); $target_date = $targ->format('F jS Y'); ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>Countdown</title> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script> <script type='text/javascript'> var inter $().ready( function() { get_time_remaining() // call AJAX request to get remaining time inter = setInterval(countdown, 1000) // set timer to call "countdown()" function every second }) function countdown() { let s = parseInt($("#secs").html()) // get current time remaining let m = parseInt($("#mins").html()) let h = parseInt($("#hrs").html()) let d = parseInt($("#days").html()) if (d==0 && h==0 && m==0 && s==0) { // exit when target time is reached clearInterval(inter) $(".remain").css("background-color", "red") return } s--; // reduce display by 1 second if (s < 0) { s = 59; m-- } if (m < 0) { m = 59 h-- } if (h < 0) { h = 23 d-- } if (d < 0) { d = 0 } $("#days").html(d) // redisplay new values $("#hrs").html(h) $("#mins").html(m) $("#secs").html(s) } function get_time_remaining() { $.get( // make AJAX request "", {"ajax":"countdown", "target":$("#target").val()}, function(resp) { // put response values in display fields $("#days").html( resp.days ) $("#hrs").html( resp.hrs ) $("#mins").html( resp.mins ) $("#secs").html( resp.secs ) }, "JSON" ) } </script> <style type='text/css'> body { font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; } header { padding: 8px; text-align: center; width: 600px; margin: 20px auto; background-color: #F0F0F0; } .target { color: #006EFC; font-size: 16pt; } table { border-collapse: collapse; width: 400px; margin: 0 auto; } td, th { padding: 8px; text-align: center; width: 25%; } .remain { font-size: 24pt; color: white; background-color: black; border: 1px solid white; } </style> </head> <body> <header> <p>Countdown to</p> <p class='target'><?=$target_time?> on <?=$target_date?> </p> <!-- make target time available to javascript --> <input type='hidden' id='target' value='<?=$target?>' > <table border='0'> <tr><th>Days</th><th>Hours</th><th>Mins</th><th>Secs</th></tr> <tr> <td class='remain' id='days'>0</td> <td class='remain' id='hrs'>0</td> <td class='remain' id='mins'>0</td> <td class='remain' id='secs'>0</td> </tr> </table> </header> </body> </html>

Simple. Triple the page width and offset each label. require 'code128.php'; $data = ['item_name' => 'Fuel Vapour Hose' ,'code_purchase' => 'ABC-2342' ,'code_sale' => 'DFS-4312' ,'item_code' => '47900001' ]; class Barcode_Label extends PDF_Code128 { protected $data; //constructor public function __construct() { parent::__construct('L','mm',[190, 35]); } public function printLabel($data) { $this->setMargins(5,5,5); $this->SetAutoPageBreak(0); $this->AddPage(); $this->setFont('Times', 'B', 10); for ($lab=0; $lab<3; $lab++) { $offset = $lab * 65; $this->setXY($offset, 5); $this->Cell(50, 5, $data['item_name'], 0, 2, 'C'); $this->Cell(25, 5, $data['code_purchase'], 0, 0, 'C'); $this->Cell(25, 5, $data['code_sale'], 0, 2, 'C'); $barcode = $this->Code128($offset + 5,15,$data['item_code'],50,10); $this->setXY($offset, 25); $this->Cell(50, 5, $data['item_code'], 0, 1, 'C'); } } } #Barcode_Label $label= new Barcode_Label(); for ($i=0; $i<3; $i++) { $label->printLabel($data); } $label->Output(); [edit] PS I don't know your label dimensions so you may have to adjust offset, page size and margins

Here's one way class PriceCalculator { private $start; private $end; private $price = [ 0 => [ 98, 128], 1 => [ 88, 118], 2 => [ 88, 118], 3 => [ 88, 118], 4 => [ 88, 118], 5 => [ 88, 118], 6 => [ 98, 128] ]; public function __construct ($time1, $time2) { $this->start = new DateTime($time1); $this->end = new DateTime($time2); } public function calculate() { $total = 0; $dp = new DatePeriod($this->start, new DateInterval('PT1M'), $this->end ); foreach ($dp as $min) { $day = $min->format('w'); $peak = '02' <= $min->format('H') && $min->format('H') < '18' ? 0 : 1; $total += $this->price[$day][$peak]/60; } return number_format($total, 2); } } $time1 = "2022-03-12 16:12:00"; $time2 = "2022-03-12 18:31:00"; $instance = new PriceCalculator($time1, $time2); echo $instance->calculate(); // 242.53

First only returns a single item, so there's no point in putting it in a collection. The collection is for methods that might return several items.

I don't have any specific recollection of such a thing, but a lot of things have changed in the css world, most notably the standardization of flexbox and grid that make older techniques and tricks of css layout obsolete. You just don't need those things anymore when flexbox or grid can take care of your layout needs with simple, consistent and easy to understand syntax. There was a time when you needed to know the ins and outs of floats and clear fix, and other arcane tricks of css, but that's basically obsolete knowledge. People also use to use tables inside tables inside tables to get their "pixel perfect" layouts, but that also has given way to a focus on creating layouts that adapt from desktop to mobile. This guy (Kevin Powell) has become well known in the css/web design world, and he really knows his stuff. This video covers flexbox. If you work through the examples with him, you will learn what you need. He also has a corresponding Grid video. If you want something more interactive, lots of people love Scrimba, and in particular Per Borgen, who is one of the Scrimba founders. He happens to have a free scrimba course covering grid and flexbox, so that is another way you can learn flexbox, if you want something more interactive. The free Scrimba Grid/Flexbox course is here: https://scrimba.com/learn/cssgrid

PHPFreaks has been going through some ownership and hosting changes, and that has lead to some extended down time. The hosting for the site has been generously provided by a number of different people and organizations throughout the years, and without their patronage, phpfreaks would have shutdown many years ago. With that said, please understand that the volunteers who administer and moderate the site don't have control over the underlying infrastructure, other than what is provided to us. In this recent outage the new owner of the site, who supported it in the years following the sale of the original hosting company where phpfreaks was created, has provided us a lot of support and aid, and demonstrated a commitment to keep the site running for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, with that said, there will probably be some additional outages in the near future as the server resources that run the site are being moved to a different co-location facility. Please bear with us through these difficulties, as we endeavor to keep the community alive and available for everyone who finds it useful. We will continue to keep doing the work to keep phpfreaks running, and we appreciate the many long time members who have made it their home.

Hello Marcus, So to be clear, what we are talking about is variable typing and type hints. Variable typing is only done within a class or trait. The dog class has examples of variable typing. I expanded the examples to make a point of what changed: <?php class Dog { private int $dog_weight = 0; private string $dog_breed = "no breed"; private string $dog_color = "no color"; private string $dog_name = "no name"; public function __construct($dog_weight, $dog_breed, $dog_color, $dog_name) { $this->dog_weight = $dog_weight; $this->dog_breed = $dog_breed; $this->dog_color = $dog_color; $this->dog_name = $dog_name; } public function get_properties() : string { return "$this->dog_weight, $this->dog_breed, $this->dog_color, $this->dog_name"; } } $fido = new Dog(42, 'Poodle', 'Brown', 'Fido'); echo $fido->get_properties() . PHP_EOL; $spike = new Dog('Heavy', 'Mutt', 'Orange', 'Spike'); // Generates Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot assign string to property Dog::$dog_weight of type int echo $spike->get_properties() . PHP_EOL; The class variable definition lines like this one: "private int $dog_weight = 0" was first introduced in PHP 7.4. Prior to that you could not include the "int" to tell php you wanted $dog_weight to be a int. Furthermore, in my examples, if you try something like passing a string for the assignment, php will generate a runtime error now: "Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot assign string to property Dog::$dog_weight of type int" Previously however, PHP did support type hinting for parameters that has a similar function. <?php class Dog { private $dog_weight = 0; private $dog_breed = "no breed"; private $dog_color = "no color"; private $dog_name = "no name"; public function __construct(int $dog_weight, string $dog_breed, string $dog_color, string $dog_name) { $this->dog_weight = $dog_weight; $this->dog_breed = $dog_breed; $this->dog_color = $dog_color; $this->dog_name = $dog_name; } public function get_properties() : string { return "$this->dog_weight, $this->dog_breed, $this->dog_color, $this->dog_name"; } } $fido = new Dog(42, 'Poodle', 'Brown', 'Fido'); echo $fido->get_properties() . PHP_EOL; $spike = new Dog('Heavy', 'Mutt', 'Orange', 'Spike'); // Generates a Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Dog::__construct(): Argument #1 ($dog_weight) must be of type int, string given echo $spike->get_properties() . PHP_EOL; This was available in PHP version 7.0. This parameter type hinting has been heavily used, especially when passing objects as parameters, since version 7.0. class Dog { private $dog_weight = 0; private $dog_breed = "no breed"; private $dog_color = "no color"; private $dog_name = "no name"; public function __construct(int $dog_weight, string $dog_breed, string $dog_color, string $dog_name) { $this->dog_weight = $dog_weight; $this->dog_breed = $dog_breed; $this->dog_color = $dog_color; $this->dog_name = $dog_name; } public function get_properties() : string { return "$this->dog_weight, $this->dog_breed, $this->dog_color, $this->dog_name"; } } class Cat { private $cat_breed = 'no breed'; private $cat_name = 'no name'; public function __construct(string $cat_breed, string $cat_name) { $this->cat_breed = $cat_breed; $this->cat_name= $cat_name; } public function get_properties() : string { return "$this->cat_breed, $this->cat_name"; } } class Kennel { private $borders = []; public function addDog(Dog $dog) : void { $this->borders[] = $dog; } public function getBorders() : string { $output = ''; foreach($this->borders as $pet) { $output .= $pet->get_properties() . PHP_EOL; } return $output; } } $kennel = new Kennel(); $fido = new Dog(42, 'Poodle', 'Brown', 'Fido'); $kennel->addDog($fido); $sparky = new Dog(22, 'Mutt', 'Tan', 'Sparky'); $kennel->addDog($sparky); $simba = new Cat('siamese', 'Simba'); echo $simba->get_properties() . PHP_EOL; echo $kennel->getBorders(); $kennel->addDog($simba); //Generates Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Kennel::addDog(): Argument #1 ($dog) must be of type Dog, Cat given What has never been possible is add a type to a variable declaration outside of a class definition (as you attempted to do): <?php int $errorCode = 7; //generates a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$errorCode' (T_VARIABLE) in 7. //generates Parse error: syntax error, unexpected variable "$errorCode" in 8. One other common type hint is to utilize an interface definition as a parameter type hint: <?php interface HasFeet { public function setFeet(int $number); public function getFeet() : int; } class Duck implements HasFeet { private $nbrFeet; public function setFeet(int $number) { $this->nbrFeet = $number; } public function getFeet() : int { return $this->nbrFeet; } } class Mouse implements HasFeet { private $legs; public function setFeet(int $number) { $this->legs = $number; } public function getFeet() : int { return $this->legs; } } class Fish { private $legs = 0; public function getFeet() : int { return $this->legs; } } class Catalog { private $animals = []; public function addAnimal(HasFeet $animal) { $this->animals[] = $animal; } public function getAnimalFeetCount() : string { $output = ''; foreach($this->animals as $animal) { $output .= 'A ' . get_class($animal) . " has {$animal->getFeet()} feet" . PHP_EOL; } return $output; } } $catalog = new Catalog(); $duck = new Duck(); $duck->setFeet(2); $mouse = new Mouse(); $mouse->setFeet(4); $catalog->addAnimal($duck); $catalog->addAnimal($mouse); echo $catalog->getAnimalFeetCount(); //Generates //A Duck has 2 feet //A Mouse has 4 feet // //Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to Catalog::addAnimal() must implement interface HasFeet, instance of Fish given PHP 8 has added constructor variable definition through parameter scope & typing: <?php // Prior to 8.0 - Standard class variable initialization class Bike { private $wheels = 0; public function __construct(int $wheels=2) { $this->wheels = $wheels; } public function getWheels() : int { return $this->wheels; } } // PHP 8.0 definition via parameter class Car { public function __construct(private int $wheels=4) { } public function getWheels() : int { return $this->wheels; } } $bike = new Bike(); echo $bike->getWheels() . PHP_EOL; $car = new Car(); echo $car->getWheels() . PHP_EOL; $truck = new Car(18); echo $truck->getWheels() . PHP_EOL; // In PHP 8.01+ // 2 // 4 // 18 So PHP 8 will relieve you of having to define attributes in the class definition, if you define them in the constructor. This works for class parameters as well!

Example $arr = [ [ 'A', 'Jan. 22, 22'], [ 'B', 'Dec. 25, 21'], [ 'C', 'Feb. 22, 22'], [ 'D', 'Jan. 2, 22'] ]; usort($arr, function($a, $b) { $da = DateTime::createFromFormat('M. j, y', $a[1]); $db = DateTime::createFromFormat('M. j, y', $b[1]); return $db <=> $da; }); echo '<pre>' . print_r($arr, 1) . '</pre>'; outputs Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => C [1] => Feb. 22 22 ) [1] => Array ( [0] => A [1] => Jan. 22 22 ) [2] => Array ( [0] => D [1] => Jan. 2 22 ) [3] => Array ( [0] => B [1] => Dec. 25 21 ) )

COALESCE() comes in useful here SELECT ... FROM tablename WHERE COALESCE(colname, '') = '';

I use mostly PHP Debug and PHP Intelephense.

Create an array of those field names which are to be read only, for example $readonly = ['id', 'username', 'email']; then $ro = (in_array($key, $readonly)) ? 'readonly' : '';

@gizmola and I both gave you code that you have not implemented. You should spend some time going through this PDO tutorial. Making a PDO connection is one of the simplest things you would ever need to do. https://phpdelusions.net/pdo This is all that is required to make a PDO connection. Anything you do beyond this, you should know exactly WHY you are doing more. $con = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test", 'root', '');

Probably not what you really want, but it is what you asked for: $midPt = floor(strlen($content)/2); $file["content"] = substr($content, 0, $midPt) . $context['user']['id'] . substr($content, $midPt);

Apparently the DateInterval class supports milliseconds, but the default method does not support it as an input value. You need to instead use the createFromDateString class of that method // convert your date to DateTime object $date = '10:00:00.500000'; $dt = new DateTime($date); // convert your period to $interval = '00:25:10.300000'; //Extract time parts list($hours, $minutes, $totalSeconds) = explode(':', $interval); list($wholeSeconds, $milliSeconds) = explode('.', $totalSeconds); //Create interval with milliseconds $intervalString = "{$hours} hours + {$minutes} minutes + {$wholeSeconds} seconds + {$milliSeconds} microseconds"; $interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString($intervalString); // Add interval to date $dt->add($interval);// Format date as you needecho $dt->format('H:i:s'); echo $dt->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:s.u'); //Output: 2021-11-12T10:25:10.800000

Just before closing the book on this one, please ask yourself this: In [another] four months time, are you going to look at this code and ask yourself "What the H*** does this do?" You will spend far more time reading code than writing it (accepted industry stats estimate 80% reading, 20% writing). Always favour Clarity and Correctness over Conciseness or Cleverness. Regards, Phill W.

It's the antithesis of progress and learning. We can only tell him stuff that he already knows, which is pointless. If he doesn't know it he won't use it. Therefore, whatever we tell him is a waste of time.

Using a DB, I'd do it this way (tables used are from my SQL tutorial). Select a house name and the pupils menu lists pupils from that house. <?php const HOST = 'localhost'; const USERNAME = '????'; const PASSWORD = '????'; const DATABASE = 'jointute'; // default db $db = pdoConnect(); //============================================================================== // HANDLE AJAX CALLS // if (isset($_GET['ajax'])) { if ($_GET['ajax']=='pupilopts') { exit( json_encode(pupilOptions($db, $_GET['hid']))); } exit('INVALID REQUEST'); } //============================================================================== function houseOptions($db) { $opts = "<option value=''>- select house -</option>\n"; $res = $db->query("SELECT houseID , house_name FROM house ORDER BY house_name "); foreach ($res as $r) { $opts .= "<option value='{$r['houseID']}'>{$r['house_name']}</option>\n"; } return $opts; } function pupilOptions($db, $hid) { $opts = []; $res = $db->prepare("SELECT pupilID , CONCAT(lname, ', ', fname) as name FROM pupil WHERE houseID = ? ORDER BY lname, fname "); $res->execute([$hid]); $pups = $res->fetchAll(); $opts = array_column($pups, 'name', 'pupilID'); sort($opts); return $opts; } function pdoConnect($dbname=DATABASE) { $db = new PDO("mysql:host=".HOST.";dbname=$dbname;charset=utf8",USERNAME,PASSWORD); $db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); $db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE, PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); $db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, false); return $db; } ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang='en'> <head> <title>Example</title> <meta charset='utf-8'> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script> <script type='text/javascript'> $().ready( function() { $("#houses").change( function() { var hid = $(this).val() $.get( "", // specify processing file on server (in this case it's same file) {"ajax":"pupilopts", "hid":hid}, // data to send in request function(resp) { // handle the response $("#pupils").html("<option value=''> - select pupil -</option"); $.each(resp, function(k, v) { $("#pupils").append($("<option>", {"val":k, "text":v})) }) }, "JSON" // response type ) }) }) </script> <style type='text/css'> body { font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; } div { margin: 16px; padding: 8px; border: 1px solid gray; } label { display: inline-block; background-color: black; color: white; width: 120px; padding: 8px; margin: 1px 8px; } </style> </head> <body> <div> <label>House</label> <select id="houses" > <?= houseOptions($db) ?> </select> </div> <div> <label>Pupil</label> <select id="pupils" > <!-- pupil options --> </select> </div> </body> </html>

First, let me just opine that there are generally accepted reasons to create stored procedures. Those include 'performance', 'adding business logic', 'doing things that can't easily be done in a single query/ie having procedural logic', 'providing a procedural api that enforces business rules', and in the case of triggers, enforcing complex data integrity, which is often done with triggers, and can't easily or robustly done client-side. What you have to understand about MySQL, is that it doesn't work the same way that Sybase/MS-SQL Server or Oracle work. In those DB's, sprocs are cached in global server memory, so they can be shared by connections. Oracle also has heavy client connection overhead. MySQL does not work that way. Quite probably, a normal query will be faster with MySQL in many circumstances, when compared with a sproc, because you have to understand that MySQL sprocs are not available in a shared memory structure like Oracle. So performance is not one of the advantages of sprocs in MySQL. The sproc memory exists PER Connection! So that should give you pause, from a performance standpoint, because each connection will need memory allocation for sprocs, and conversely, the fact that clientA is calling a sproc, does absolutely nothing for clientB. There has been rumblings that something might be done about this architecture, but as of MySQL 8, as far as I know the per connection sproc cache is still local. So to be absolutely clear, what happens when you create a connection to MySQL, every time you use a sproc, it gets compiled (if it was not already used), and stored in memory. There is not pre-compilation performance boost you get from other databases like Oracle. Furthermore, PHP is a "shared nothing" environment. Depending on how you are running PHP, database connections will be created/destroyed frequently, or upon every execution. The fact that mysql connections are lightweight and performant is one of the reasons it has always been a good partner for PHP data persistence. This was your original concern. Most of us tried to convince you that you already are covered for those concerns by: Disallowing multiple statements in PDO Using bind variables Using InnoDB with allocation of memory to buffer pools, to maximize cache hit of result set data PHP does give you a robust and highly capable language to build your reporting tool, and your code can be safe and will be performant against mysql, and sprocs bring nothing to the table that will make that better for you. I understand that you have felt frustrated in this conversation, but this is a frequent phenomenon in the tech communities I frequent, when someone comes from a point of view that has predetermined a particular approach is the only way to do it. People immediately question whether or not, as the old adage goes, this is a "person with a hammer, who sees everything as a nail." I think this was a valuable thread that contributed to the community, and I appreciate your perseverance and patience in sticking with it, but I also hope you can see that developers who are donating their time to try and help other developers tend to get a bit irritated when they perceive that someone is telling them "just shutup and answer my question", especially when they aren't convinced that the problem to be solved has been articulated clearly. With that said, I hope you will continue to find the forum valuable to you now and in the future.

Plan B

Or avoid the concatenation which is usually the biggest source of error (and the query string needs an "=") echo "<a href='icerik.php?icerik={$goster['icerik_id']}'>{$goster['baslik']}</a>";

I was in my fifties when I first came across something called HTML. I knew Basic from from my days with a BBC home microcomputer so I started using Visual Basic to create web pages. Daily, I would log in to the Compuserve Bulletin Board using my dial-up modem to exchange ideas (much like now - plus ca change, plus ca meme). I started to write Java applets to enhance my pages but, no sooner had I started to become reasonably proficient, the world switched to Flash (which has since died a death). Disheartened, I let the Java lapse. One of the biggest mistakes I've made as today's phone apps are essentially Java applets. A year or so later I came across PHP and much prefered its Java/C type syntax to Basic. My preference was cemented when I discovered that rewriting my VB/ASP scripts in PHP gave me a 3x+ speed increase (in one case a 70x increase in performance as VB was crap at handling long string concatenations). Anyway, the moral is "You ain't too old".

While PHPStorm is subscription based, it's pretty good in my opinion and for an IDE it has helped my PHP skills a lot. It makes suggestions on how to write the code in a better way that I would never have thought of and makes syntax errors easy to resolve. I am not affiliated with JetBrains as I just like using their developer tools as it simplifies my coding a lot.

This fails $j = "{'admin': 1, 'moderator': 1}" ; $a = json_decode($j, 1); echo '<pre> a ' . print_r($a, 1) . '</pre>'; This works $j = '{"admin": 1, "moderator": 1}' ; $b = json_decode($j, 1); echo '<pre> b ' . print_r($b, 1) . '</pre>'; Note the quotes in the JSON string.

Doesn't your console have a "preserve" option? Or, add "return false" to the end of your submitData() function to stop the page refreshing

If you want to use silly names like that with the "." at the end then you need the column name inside backticks. SELECT `KNr.` FROM .... From MySQL manual

A more efficient way is to only select the 8 rows you're looking for instead of selecting the entire table.

Hello everyone, I'm very new to this site. I'm here to learn how to code in PHP as I once did. I'm very raw at tho, and I'm looking to start back up in it again. So again, hello everyone and remember I'm new. So any dummy questions I made ask, please bear with me. I would like to start my own web site for my own purpose. Something very small and for my needs. And to top it all off, I'm going to run it on a Raspberry Pi from my home. This is should be a fun trip. Thanks Sincerely Dan

$json = '[{"id":"1","category":"public health","type":"top"},{"id":"2","category":"environment","type":"top"},{"id":"3","category":"global unrest","type":"top"},{"id":"4","category":"military","type":"top"},{"id":"6","category":"super powers","type":"top"},{"id":"7","category":"technology","type":"top"},{"id":"8","category":"human rights","type":"top"},{"id":"60","category":"space race","type":"top"},{"id":"67","category":"globalism","type":"top"},{"id":"87","category":"government","type":"top"}]'; $array = json_decode($json, 1); // decode as an array $column = 'category'; $categories = array_column($array, $column); // get the $column values echo '<pre>' . print_r($categories, 1) . '</pre>'; gives Array ( [0] => public health [1] => environment [2] => global unrest [3] => military [4] => super powers [5] => technology [6] => human rights [7] => space race [8] => globalism [9] => government )

These are the results I get (wordlist contains 351,100 records) $t1 = microtime(1); $res = $db->query("SELECT word FROM wordlist WHERE MATCH (word) AGAINST ('sang*' IN BOOLEAN MODE)"); $t2 = microtime(1); printf('Query 1 : %0.4f seconds<br>', $t2 - $t1); $t1 = microtime(1); $res = $db->query("SELECT word FROM wordlist WHERE word LIKE 'sang%'"); $t2 = microtime(1); printf('Query 2 : %0.4f seconds<br>', $t2 - $t1); results (74 words found) Query 1 : 0.0026 seconds Query 2 : 0.0005 seconds

Rinse and repeat - exchanging u1 and u2 $new = []; foreach ($array as $a) { if (!isset($new[$a['u1']])) { $new[$a['u1']] = []; } $new[$a['u1']][] = $a['u2']; //repeat exchanging u1 and u2 if (!isset($new[$a['u2']])) { $new[$a['u2']] = []; } $new[$a['u2']][] = $a['u1']; } // // Output $new array // echo '<pre>'; foreach ($new as $u1 => $u2s) { printf('<br><b>%4d</b> | ', $u1); foreach ($u2s as $u) { printf('%4d &vellip;', $u); } }

You've fixed things but you haven't fixed things. Like these: if(isset($_POST['d_name'])){ } if(isset($_POST['manner_death'])){ } if(isset($_POST['place_death'])){ } if(isset($_POST['nok'])){ } if(isset($_POST['rel_nok'])){ } if(isset($_POST['morgue_att'])){ } What are those doing? Nothing. They don't do anything. Then you have if(isset($_POST['tag_num'])){ if(isset($_POST['treatment'])) The first line makes sense, but the second? Without a pair of { } then it will only run the very first line of code that comes after: the assignment for $d_name. Then in your query, $query = "insert into data ( d_name, manner_death, place_death ,nok, rel_nok, morgue_att, tag_num, treatment) values ( '$d_name'.'$manner_death','$place_death','$nok','$rel_nok','$morgue_att','$tag_num','$treatment')"; you managed to fix the one syntax error but you created a new one. You cannot create websites by putting code in your editor and hoping everything will work. You have to make actual, conscious, deliberate decisions about the code. You have to know what different pieces of code mean. You have to understand why code is what it is and then how you can use it to accomplish what you want. So before you try to write more code, stop and take a few days to learn what you can about PHP. Then come back to this file and put some thought into each line of code in it.

Do you mean something like this? <?php // get the "name" headings that you need for the columns // and also use them as keys in a "template" array // $res = $db->query("SELECT DISTINCT name FROM dataset ORDER BY name "); $names = $res->fetchAll(); $heads = array_column($names, 'name'); $temp = array_fill_keys($heads, ''); $table_header = "<tr><td></td><td class='thead'>Result</td><td class='thead'>" . join("</td><td class='thead'>", $heads) . "</td></tr>\n"; // now get the data // store in an array by "id" // witd subarrays for each name $res = $db->query("SELECT id , edate , result , name , nos FROM maintab m JOIN dataset d ON m.id = d.mid ORDER BY id "); $data = []; foreach ($res as $r) { if (!isset($data[$r['id']])) { $data[$r['id']] = [ 'edate' => $r['edate'], 'result' => $r['result'], 'names' => $temp // the template array from earlier ]; } $data[$r['id']]['names'][$r['name']] = $r['nos']; // put value in tempate array } // now we simply output data array into html table rows $tdata = ''; foreach ($data as $row) { $tdata .= "<tr><td>{$row['edate']}</td><td>{$row['result']}</td><td>" . join('</td><td>', $row['names']) . "</td></tr>\n"; } ?> <html> <head> <title>Example</title> <style type='text/css'> td { padding: 4px 10px; } .thead { font-weight: 600; border-top: 1px solid gray; border-bottom: 1px solid gray; } </style> </head> <body> <table> <?= $table_header ?> <?= $tdata ?> </table> </body> </html> OUTPUT [edit] PS Sorry about the data typo. That's what happens when people post pictures instead of copyable text.

Without trying to decipher your pictures I will offer this. A form is submitted from a page when a submit action occurs. It only happens once. Whatever is part of that form containing the submit action (button, input , js code) will be passed to the receiving script and that's it. I would be wholly surprised if anyone else tells you of something else. Does that give you something to consider?

Your double variable assignment is pointless and just litters the codebase. You already have the POST array, just use it. Also, the code could use some validation.

It's unfortunate, for someone who wants to minimize their code, that you have used a data model which considerably increases your code. +---------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------------------------------------+ | | | | | YOUR DATA | | MY DATA | | | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------------------------------------+ rifles item +----+------------------+------+------+ +----+---------------------+------+------+--------+ | id | rifleName | em | gm | | id | itemname | em | gm | cat_id | +----+------------------+------+------+ +----+---------------------+------+------+--------+ | 1 | .308 Bolt action | 225 | 1350 | | 1 | .308 Bolt action | 225 | 1350 | 1 | | 2 | 7mm magnum | 300 | 1575 | | 2 | 7mm magnum | 300 | 1575 | 1 | | 3 | .243 LeverAction | 215 | 8725 | | 3 | .243 LeverAction | 215 | 8725 | 1 | +----+------------------+------+------+ | 4 | 6ft Longbow | 135 | 1120 | 2 | bows | 5 | 5ft Flatbow | 235 | 1345 | 2 | +----+-------------+------+------+ | 6 | Recurve | 215 | 2525 | 2 | | id | bowName | em | gm | | 7 | Purdy 12 bore | 135 | 1120 | 3 | +----+-------------+------+------+ | 8 | Beretta 12 bore | 235 | 1345 | 3 | | 1 | 6ft Longbow | 135 | 1120 | | 9 | Small bore rook gun | 215 | 2525 | 3 | | 2 | 5ft Flatbow | 235 | 1345 | | 10 | Glock 9mm | 125 | 1050 | 4 | | 3 | Recurve | 215 | 2525 | | 11 | Colt .38 | 200 | 1175 | 4 | +----+-------------+------+------+ | 12 | Derringer .22 | 115 | 3125 | 4 | shotguns +----+---------------------+------+------+--------+ +----+---------------------+------+------+ | id | shotgunName | em | gm | category +----+---------------------+------+------+ +--------+----------+ | 1 | Purdy 12 bore | 135 | 1120 | | cat_id | cat_name | | 2 | Beretta 12 bore | 235 | 1345 | +--------+----------+ | 3 | Small bore rook gun | 215 | 2525 | | 1 | Rifles | +----+---------------------+------+------+ | 2 | Bows | pistols | 3 | Shotguns | +----+---------------+------+------+ | 4 | Pistols | | id | pistolName | em | gm | +--------+----------+ +----+---------------+------+------+ | 1 | Glock 9mm | 125 | 1050 | | 2 | Colt .38 | 200 | 1175 | | 3 | Derringer .22 | 115 | 3125 | +----+---------------+------+------+ +---------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------------------------------------+ | | | | | YOUR CODE | | MY CODE | | | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------------------------------------+ A separate block of code for each category Single block of code for all categories (For 20 categories that's a 95% reduction in coding time) If you add 4 more categories you have to write If I add more categories the code remains unchanged 4 more code blocks My code's output My code for you to try <?php require 'db_inc.php'; // contains db credentials and connection function code $pdo = pdoConnect('javanoob'); // connect setting javanoob as default db // YOU WILL NEED YOUR OWN PDO CONNECT CODE ################################################################################ ## ## ## Handle AJAX request when + button is clicked ## ## ## ################################################################################ if (isset($_GET['ajax'])) { if ($_GET['ajax'] == 'newrow') { exit( tableItemRow($pdo, $_GET['catid']) ); } } ################################################################################ ## ## ## Query db item table to get all the categrories for the output table ## ## ## ################################################################################ $res = $pdo->query("SELECT id , itemname , em , gm , cat_id , cat_name FROM item i JOIN category c USING (cat_id) WHERE cat_id IN (1,2,3,4) ORDER BY cat_id, itemname "); $data = []; foreach ($res as $r) { if (!isset($data[$r['cat_id']])) { $data[$r['cat_id']] = [ 'catname' => $r['cat_name'], 'items' => [] ]; } $data[$r['cat_id']]['items'][] = array_slice($r, 0, 4); } ################################################################################ ## ## ## Loop through the data array to build the output table ## ## ## ################################################################################ $tdata = ''; foreach ($data as $cid => $cdata) { $tdata .= "<tbody data-cat='$cid'> <tr> <td class='cat-title' colspan='4'> {$cdata['catname']} <div class='addmore' data-cat='$cid'><i class='fa fa-plus'></i></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><select class='item-menu' name='item[]' onchange='item_menu_changed(this)'> <option value='' data-em='0' data-gm='0'>Choose from {$cdata['catname']}</option> "; foreach ($cdata['items'] as $row) { $tdata .= "<option value={$row['id']} data-em='{$row['em']}' data-gm='{$row['gm']}'>" . htmlspecialchars( $row["itemname"] ) .

There seems to be a problem for some number of people, typically having to do with local OS/Network/DNS/IPv6 settings. You can see if any of the suggestions here are helpful to you: https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/9376 You can run composer diagnose to have composer go through a battery of tests that might help you see where your issue is.

The old school way of running php with apache was to use the mod_php apache module, which makes php a part of apache. So that was certainly different. You can think of php-fpm as a "php server" process. Using it with apache or nginx or any other http proxy means that php-fpm is running separately and being communicated with from the http server via fastcgi. Fastcgi is a specification that evolved from the original cgi spec, that was the earliest way a web server could be configured to send data to and from an external program. php-fpm is a php server that implements fastcgi, so it can be used with any http server or proxy that also supports fastcgi. One of the obvious things to notice is that the effective user running the php script can be different than the user that the apache process is running as. It also has some efficiency when compared to mod_php, for reasons I won't go into, but that I did examine in a blog post I made. One big problem with mod_php is that the apache child processes tend to grow and absorb memory when serving php, and this pool of child processes has to be used for every request, so even if apache is handling a request to return an image or css file, or other static content, the apache child process might be 500mb in terms of memory usage, because previously it had been used to run a php script. This is a big reason that nginx became popular, as it was always intended to be a high performance proxy, and always used fastcgi. With that said, when php-fpm runs a php process it still does so using the php configuration. It does have its own settings to manage fastcgi, so in that way it's got another group of settings that you have to configure, and areas where the communication between apache and php-fpm can have issues, so in that way it's more complicated.

For a Windows Dev my recommendation is Laragon and PhpStorm IDE. For Production Server, Debian OS with a current LAMP stack. You will also want to use GIT.

My take on this, is that it makes more sense if you can break it down into problems: 1. What list of actors (actor_id) do you need? You need actors with a name like "depp" AND actors who were in the 'ACE GOLDFINGER film". This 1st query gets you those actors. SELECT actor_id FROM actor WHERE last_name like '%depp%' UNION SELECT actor_id FROM film_actor WHERE film_id = (SELECT film_id FROM film WHERE title = 'ACE GOLDFINGER'); To get the full list of films, you need to get all the films for any of those actors, so you have to join your list of actors to the film_actor table, so one very simple way to think about this, is to use some subqueries fed into the upper query. The original query, can be used as a subquery to get you the list of actors. SELECT DISTINCT f.film_id, f.title FROM film f JOIN film_actor fa ON f.film_id = fa.film_id WHERE fa.actor_id IN (SELECT actor_id FROM actor WHERE last_name LIKE '%depp%' UNION SELECT actor_id FROM film_actor WHERE film_id = (SELECT film_id FROM film WHERE title = 'ACE GOLDFINGER') ) ORDER BY f.title; Here's another syntactical take, joining to the subquery rather than using IN SELECT DISTINCT f.film_id, f.title FROM film f JOIN film_actor fa ON f.film_id = fa.film_id JOIN (SELECT actor_id FROM actor WHERE last_name LIKE '%depp%' UNION SELECT actor_id FROM film_actor WHERE film_id = (SELECT film_id FROM film WHERE title = 'ACE GOLDFINGER') ) as a ON fa.actor_id = a.actor_id ORDER BY f.title; And here's a version, where the 'ACE GOLDFINGER' query is also a join to a subquery. This one is probably a bit more correct, in the case that there was more than one 'ACE GOLDFINGER" titled film, that might have different actors. SELECT DISTINCT f.film_id, f.title FROM film f JOIN film_actor fa ON f.film_id = fa.film_id JOIN (SELECT actor_id FROM actor WHERE last_name LIKE '%depp%' UNION SELECT actor_id FROM film_actor JOIN (SELECT film_id FROM film WHERE title = 'ACE GOLDFINGER' ) as ace ON film_actor.film_id = ace.film_id ) as a ON fa.actor_id = a.actor_id ORDER BY f.title;
