Ok, I apologize a million times. I'd delete this post completely if I could figure out how. I am normally a laravel developer and most of our projects are laravel, except this one which is cakephp. Regardless, I realize now that when I need to look into is event listeners. I should be able to find more targeted documentation on this and maybe solve my own problem. Thanks anyways!

Oh my gosh!! I'm so sorry. This is a cakePhp project. Not a laravel project. Wishful thinking...

I think i may have accidentally stumbled on a clue. https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/eloquent/listen-to-any-saveupdatecreate-event-for-any-model

Hi! I'd like to create a function in an eloquent model that gets called whenever create() or save() is called on that model. This function updates an "updated_at" time stamp in a parent table. I don't even know what to search for in google that will lead me to a tutorial, or documentation explaining this. For example: I have 2 tables, Conferences (has "updated_at" timestamp field) and Maps (When ever a new map is saved, or existing updated I want to update the timestamp field "updated_at" in the Conferences table). I know I could create a class with a function that does this and do a find for ->save() and after call my function. But why do that? Shouldn't I be able to put a method in the Maps Model that, when CRUD happens, will automatically fire? I guess it would look something like this: private function onCrud() { $confObj = Conference::where("id", "=", $session(['currentConfId']))->first(); $confObj->updated_at = date("whatever format..."); $confObj->save(); } How do I tell laravel/eloquent to fire this method when ever a save is called on the model? Any direction with this is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Nick

Maybe a year ago php freaks shut down? I cried! phpFreaks was my go to when I was learning php! You guys and gals had been with me from the start! phpFreaks is back and today will be a good day!

+1 for phpStorm. The best.

Hello fellow PHP Freaks! I need some guidance on an issue I'm dealing with. I have a Non-Profit Association client, and we have been trying to get setup with a system to manage all the doings for the organization. The issue really comes down to the end cost of all the services in both time, cost and a combination of the 2. We have a list of the things we would like to do, adding and modifying content from a back end, displaying the content on the front end, and a feature rich process to get data out of the system. I really like Drupal+civicrm but it would take me a long long time to figure it out all and get it up and running. I could also do a custom setup, but that would take just as long and I feel silly re-inventing the wheel. There are a lot of services that can setup and provide the type of services that we need, but they see Non-Profit and they assume that there is a bank account with a balance containing a lot of zeros. We are not hot on hiring a free lance type person to handle this as we need results. So... what do I do? I wish there was a service you could get in contact with that would recommend something, but everyone we talk to is tied to a service and of course they want you to use theirs. Does anyone have experience in setting up this kind of system for a non profit client of your own? What worked, what didn't? Who did you absolutely not like? What did you learn in the process? How did you find the choice you went with? Thanks in advance!

Just wanted to fill you in. We ended up using cURL to solve the issue. Thank you all for your time!

I'm sure that we could re-write the code to use cURL. The code is almost word for word copied from what bluepay is providing, because of this the issue is more "why isn't bluepays code working." Once we have exhusted all other options I think we will have no choice but to attempt another path! Thanks for the reply! DOH, we do have errors being suppressed. At some point today I will enable them and see if we get any more information about this error. Thanks!! Will have to wait for the server guy to get in on this one. Hope to have an answer for you at some point today! Thanks! Thanks all for the quick responses! We are in the middle of a launch and time is insanely tight. I will try to attempt your suggestions at some point today! Thanks again!

Sorry, I should have included that little tidbit of information! I have tried that. The error I get is still "false." There wasn't any error output. Using error_get_last() the error output was: fopen(https://secure.bluepay.com/interfaces/bpdailyreport2): failed to open stream: operation failed Additional information: We have the same code on another server and it runs ok. This is definitely a server issue. I have been looking for php.ini requirements for fopen. For both servers, allow_url_fopen is set to local: on master: on And I believe that allow_url_include is also important for fopen, and in both cases again both servers are set to local:off, master: off. Thoughts? Thanks for the assistance!

Just recently updated our servers version of php. From 5.3 (or 5.2.3) to 5.6. The code found at this link (I'll include the code below so you don't have to download the file): https://www.bluepay.com/sites/default/files/documentation/BluePay_bpdailyreport2-PHP.zip Use to work, but now we get the error outputted at line 36 : Problem with API Server. Contact systems administrator We are currently waiting to hear from a bluepay developer but it has been hours. As far as I can tell by spending the morning on google is that there is some server setting, maybe in the php.ini file that we do not have set right. We were not responsible for setting up the original code, and that person is not available. Any thoughts? Your time, help and assistance is so much appreciated!
