[houston I've got a problem ( hum what's new here )]

Your not setting any values for the last four drop down menus. You're only setting the Label. The Label is never treated as the value.

[Pulling MySQL data for check boxes and radio buttons.]

Add all possible checkbox values into an array

$checkbox_values = array('Stage 1', 'Stage 2', 'Stage 3', 'Stage 4');

 

Next get all the db values into an array

$res=mysql_query("SELECT stage FROM ACTIVE WHERE INDEX_ID=$id");
if(mysql_num_rows($res)==0) 
    echo "There is no data in the table <br /> <br />";
else
{
    while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($res))
        $db_values[] = $row['stage']; // add value into array
}

 

No that we have the necessary data we can generate the checkboxes.

foreach($checkbox_values as $cbox_value)
{
    $selected = if(in_array($cbox_value, $db_values)) ? ' checked="checked"' : null;
    echo '<input type="radio" name="stage" value="' . $cbox_value . '"' . $selected . ' />' . $cbox_value . '<br />';
}

 

[Beginning PHP 5.3 problem]

I'm reading through this book which is actually not bad but, on page 286 there's a shopping_cart.php code (which I downloaded from the web site). The code that seems relevant to me is this:

 

 

<?php

$totalPrice = 0;

 

foreach ( $_SESSION["cart"] as $product) {

 

  $totalPrice += $product->getPrice(); //<<<LINE 94

?>

 

The error I get is

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function getPrice() on a non-object in C:\usr\web\shopping_cart.php on line 94

 

Should $product be a cast to the Product object?

Yes as long as you have initiated the object

$product = new Product;

Not sure really. It is reporting it has found over 9000 mp3 files. Do you have that many mp3's?

[Quiz code please help!]

Your issue is to do with this line

$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result);

Remove that line and the first question should now be displayed. Each time mysqli_fetch_assoc is called the next row in the result set will be returned.

[how can I write this if sentence]

Change this

echo"  <td nowrap width='75'> <a href= ".$image_id1.">   <img src= '".$image_id1."' width='50' height='50' border='0'/>";

to

if(!empty($image_id1))
    echo"  <td nowrap width='75'> <a href= ".$image_id1.">   <img src= '".$image_id1."' width='50' height='50' border='0'/>";
else
    echo "  <td width='75'></td>";

 

You'd do the same thing for the $image_id2 variable

Yes that should work. Just make sure you have populated the $__TEXT__ array for all your field names.

I came up with

$array[1] = "ter";
$array[2] = "asd";
$array[3] = "asd";
$array[4] = "xfh";

$unique_values = array_unique($array);

$duplicate_values = array();
foreach($array as $key => $value)
{
    if(!array_key_exists($key, $unique_values))
        $duplicate_values[] = $key;
}

echo '<pre>' . print_r($duplicate_values, true) . '</pre>';

[Insert Multiple rows help]

Have you tried PaulRyan or Pikachu2000's suggestions?

[Compare an array with values]

My code selects the rows that correspond to the numbers within your $_POST['benifits'] array. So if you select the checkboxes that have the value of 1, 3 and 6. It'll return the records that have a b_id value of 1, 3 and 6 from your database.

[Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING']

__FILE__ returns an absolute filesystem path (eg /home/website/public/filename.php). That should never be used as the form action!

[Compare an array with values]

Does the numbers 1, 3, 9, 6 correspond to a value in your b_id field? If they do then you can do this.

 

I assume  $_POST['benifits'] is an array of the ids.

$IDs = implode(',', $_POST['benifits']);

$query = "SELECT * FROM benefits WHERE b_id IN ($IDs)";
$result = mysql_query($query);

if(mysql_num_rows($result))
{
     while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
     {
        // do what you want with the results.
     }
}

That will return all records with the b_id value of 1, 3, 9 and 6

[[SOLVED] Displaying HTML code problem]

Wrap your associative arrays within curly braces {}, eg

Or an alternative solution would be to use concatenation operator, eg

						<td width=\"87\">". $rows['ref'] . "</td>

[How to receive messages with double quotes in place]

i thought mysql_real_escape_string() would backslash all the quotation marks, just a work around... sorry.

It escapes harmful characters to prevent SQL injection attacks within an SQL query. There is no point in using that function if the data is not going to a database.

[How to store selected data from a ComboBox]

Then in this php file you would need to fetch the selected options from the combobox which will be in the following variable

 

$_POST['form1']['frmhowhear'];

The form name is not sent in the $_POST array.

The correct variable will be $_POST['frmhowhear'] to grab the selected value.

[script to count and remove duplicate lines in file]

Yea, that should do fine. Its pretty much what I'd do. join is the same as implode.

[foreach for a multi-level array]

You're on the right path. Change these lines

$title=$parse[0];
$header=$parse[1];
$key=????

 

to

$title = array_shift($parse);
$header = array_shift($parse);

// $parse will now only contain the keys.
// grab a random key
$key = $parse[ array_rand($parse) ];

 

array_shift removes the first item from the array. So when it is first called it'll remove the title from the $parse array and assign it to the $title variable, the same applies for the header. You're now left with an array of keys. To grab a random key you can use array_rand.

[script to count and remove duplicate lines in file]

You can use file to read each line into an array. Then use array_unique to grab all unique values. Lastly  implode the array back into a string to be written back to the file.

Post your actual code here. The source of the error is due to whatever code you have before those two lines. They are perfectly fine.

mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[''])

might do the trick.

Why would the OP need to use that function if they are not using a database!
