thanks for the help and extensive coding there but my problem has been solved by one line and one function $tomorrow = strtotime("tomorrow"); returns the unix datetime for the next day from midnight....just what the doctor ordered

I'm wanting the next day but from midnight

it's unix datetime

hi, I have some code that deals with sending out reminders for appointments due the following day. So if today is the 21/3 then only reminders for appointments due on the 22/3 should be sent. Currently this isn't happening... If reminders are sent on 21/3 at 9.50 am, my code adds 24 hours to this datetime and sends reminders due for all appointments that fall bewteen 21/3 9.50am and 22/3 9.49 am. What I want to do is simply send all reminders for appointments that are on the 22/3 exclusive of time. I'm not sure how do this in php, which uses the unix datetime format to mildy complicate issues anhy help or solutions would be massive, thanks.how to $days = time() + (1 * (60 * 60 * 24)); $apts = $db->fetch_all('status = 1 AND time > ? AND time < ?', array(time(), $days));

cheers bud

thanks. how would one use that if ? : statement in this context

Hi, I'd like to know what the most efficient code is for checking the first 2 digits of a string. eg a strings first 2 digits must equal '07' thanks,

Hi, I'm struggling a bit with using a date format and strtotime() if(!empty($_GET['utime'])) { $time = strtotime($_GET['utime']); } utime is supplied in the format dd/mm/yyyy but when I use strtotime() it treats it as mm/dd/yyyy....so 07/12/2011 is taken as 12th Aug rather than 7th Dec..which is the date I want to use. I had a quick ganders through the forums but couldn't find anything specific to this. is there any other attributes to strtotime() that will help, or a similar fucntion or a neat way of swoping my dd/mm/yyyy round before i use strtotime() any help greatly appreciated...

won't break break out of the second foreach then continue with the remaining code in the first foreach before returning to the next iteration? I don't want to continue with the first foreach's remaining code but go straight to the start of next iteration. apologies if i'm wrong i haven't tried your suggestion yet.

Hi, I'd like to know what the best way of breaking out of a nested foreach loop is..but not breaking out of the first foreach ears the code like, foreach ($apts as $apt) { foreach($rdb as $rem) { // Check to see if we've already sent a reminder for this appointment if($apt->id == $rem->appid) { // TODO get out of this foreach and go to the next iterartion of the first foreach } } //rest of 1st foreach code here } is there some syntax i can put at the first foreach eg [here] and reference it within the second foreach continue[here]; or something? thanks,

I've got it sorted thanks. In the do_login fucntion I've add a 'error' variable to the SESSION and pick up on this when the focus returns to the index/form. In short, I've learned that using the SESSION to handle messages fed back to the user/web pages is good practice. thanks fo ryou help tho.

yes I am saying that the submit button name element is stating the name of the do_login function.

the function do_login() is taken from the form <input> tag <p><input type='submit' name='do_login' value='Login'/> </p> and the file ot.php which holds it is included in index.php (see the top part of that code) which is called on the form submit, the $_server['request_uri'] equating to index.php <form action='<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']?>' method='post' > as i mentioned, i inherited this code, so the previous coder was either very good at php or has created a spagatti monster ( coder's rule no. 3 - blame the previous coder where ever possible so, i'm still stumped.

Hi there, I follow the logic in what your says but I'm unsure where I'd put that code? In index.php, somewhere round <?php else: ?> <p>Please login below.</p> <?php ot::include_view('login_form')?> <?php endif; ?> or the login_form.php <p><input type='submit' name='do_login' value='Login'/> </p>

Hi, I've inherited some html/php code (lucky me) and it's been years since i've played with it so I'm quite rusty. Anyway, I have a fairly bog standard login process and wish to simply display some text on the login page if the login detail is invalid and possibly log the error to a log file too. here's the index.php file...the login stuff is at the bottom <?php $dir = dirname(__FILE__); require_once "$dir/ot/ot.php"; ot::include_view('header', array('account' => null)) ?> <html> <head> <title>Welcome to ....</title> </head> <body style="font-size: 14pt; font-family=verdana;"> <div><img src="OTLogo1.bmp"/><h1> Welcome to ...</h1> </div> <?php if (!empty($account)): ?> <div style="border-bottom: 1px dotted #AAA; padding-bottom: 2px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <div style="float: left"> <?php $mtime = (int)@file_get_contents(otDB_DIR."/updated"); $date = date("d/m/Y", $mtime); $time = date("G:i", $mtime); if ($mtime > 0) { echo "Last Updated $date at $time"; } ?> </div> <div style="float: right">Welcome, <?php echo $account->email;?> - <a href="?page=home">Home</a> - <?php ot::include_view('logout_link')?></div> <div style="clear: both"></div> </div> <?php if (ot::is_admin()) { ot::include_view('admin_page'); } else { ot::include_view('user_page'); } ?> <?php else: ?> <p>Please login below.</p> <?php ot::include_view('login_form')?> <?php endif; ?> </body> </html> here's login_form.php <form action='<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']?>' method='post' > <fieldset> <legend>Login</legend> <p>Email:<br/><input type='text' name='email' /></p> <p>Password:<br/><input type='password' name='pwd' /></p> <!-- <p><input type='submit' name='do_login' value='Login' /> <input type='submit' name='do_reset_password' value='Reset Password' /></p> --> <p><input type='submit' name='do_login' value='Login'/> </p> </fieldset> </form> and here's the function do_login (contained in ot.php..a php function file) public static function do_login(&$err="") { $adb = ot::db('account'); $e = self::post('email'); $p = self::post('pwd', '', false); if (self::post('do_login') && $e && $p) { $ao = self::account_from('email', $e); if ($ao) { if (self::validate_login($e, $p, $ao)) { $_SESSION['id'] = $ao->id; return $ao; } } $err = "Invalid email or password"; return false; } } I'm unclear if the do_login fails as to how that ($err) is fed back to the web pages. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
