  1. What you are trying to do is ill advised. Perhaps if you explained the problem you are trying to solve, we might be able to provide a better option. It would help you a good deal, if you understood what namespaces are for. Namespaces were added in php (as in many other languages) so that library developers could use the same names for classes (or functions) and not have collisions in the global name space. Use statements are ways of referencing classes that are defined within a namespace. Then there is autoloading, which is built into PHP. PHP comes with the option to configure a set of directories that will be searched, should the code reference a class that it does not have loaded. There are now standards for how autoloaders can work with namespacing to determine where classes are, and how they are laid out in the filesystem. As to what you appear to be trying to do, the standard way of wrapping a component library, would be to create your own class, which does all the things you are trying to do with the function. It could be as simple as the class definition, with a constructor method, and the method you want to call to wrap all the code you've shown. While it goes against the best practice pattern of Dependency injection, this new class could instantiate phpmailer in it's constructor, and store it in a private variable. Then you would just have change the code to use the private variable. <?php // Class MyMailer namespace MyOrg; use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer; use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP; use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception; // Include PHPMailer autoloader or include necessary PHP files require_once 'PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php'; require_once 'PHPMailer/src/SMTP.php'; require_once 'PHPMailer/src/Exception.php'; class MyMailer { private $mail; private $config = array(); public function __construct(PHPMailer $mail=null) { if (!$mail) { $this->mail = new PHPMailer(true); // Enable exceptions $this->mail->isSMTP(); $this->mail->Host = 'mail.qss.mgo.mybluehost.me'; // Your SMTP server host $this->mail->SMTPAuth = true; $this->mail->Username = 'xxxxx'; // Your SMTP username $this->mail->Password = 'xxxxx'; // Your SMTP password $this->mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_STARTTLS; // Enable TLS encryption $this->mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to } } public function send($from, $fromName, $to, $toName, $subject, $body, $isHTML=true) { try { // Sender and recipient addresses $mail->setFrom($from, $fromName); // Sender's email address and name $mail->addAddress($to, $toName); // Recipient's email address and name // Email content $mail->isHTML($isHTML); // Set email format to HTML $mail->Subject = $subject; $mail->Body = $body; // Send the email if ($mail->send()) { echo 'Email sent successfully!'; } else { echo 'Error: Email not sent.'; } } catch (Exception $e) { echo 'Error: ' . $e->getMessage(); } } public function test() { $this-send('xxx.com', 'Your Name', 'xxx.com', 'Recipient Name', 'Test Email', 'This is a test email sent using PHPMailer'); } } At this point, you can require_once your class where you need it, and you are ready to test with something as simple as this: require_once('/path/to/MyMailer.php'); use MyOrg\MyMailer; $mail = new MyMailer(); $mail->test();
  2. In the future a couple of things that will help. use the code tags feature of the forum, as Barand did. It's easier for you and for us to read your code. What was missing from your code was an explanation of what the code was "supposed to do", and thus what did not work the way you expected it to. The whole of computer science is not understood in a short period of time. Oftentimes people start learning a computer language, and once they are part way into the syntax, they find themselves lost and confused, because they don't have the fundamental understanding of how computers work. In this case the fundamental idea is "What is a string?" Most computer languages have strings, and in general, they share at least one similarity, and that is that they are a series of characters in a contiguous area of memory. The underlying values in computer memory are always numbers, so you need some sort of scheme (typically called a charset) that determines how a value in a charset table maps to an actual character. Javascript actually uses the UTF-16 charset, which will use either 2 bytes or 4 bytes to represent a particular character, but you don't have to really think of it in that way. Rather you can thing of a string as a sequence of characters in memory (or an array). Your code appears to be an exploration of this. Of course in javascript strings are objects, which is not the case in many other languages. Javascript as a language is also odd and quirky, and was purpose built originally to run inside a browser, so it's hard to separate it from html and css, and http and internet networking, all things that can have a depth to them that in combination is confusing. I often advise people to get good with a note taking app like notion or evernote or onenote and to make sure you note when there's a topic you don't understand. Then go through these in your spare time and research and study them. There are good resources and poor ones, so you may have to dig into a particular topic using a few different resources until you get one that sticks. For example, here is a very detailed blog post explaining what UTF-16 is and how it works: https://dmitripavlutin.com/what-every-javascript-developer-should-know-about-unicode/ or this more general introduction to character sets with some javascript specific code examples: https://www.honeybadger.io/blog/encode-javascript/#:~:text=js%2C text data is typically,working with other character encodings.
  3. You need to actually use a place object, which you get by adding a listener to the autocomplete "place_changed" event. Something more like this: // script.js let autocomplete; function initialize() { const acInputs = document.getElementById('JobAddress'); const options = { types: ['geocode'], componentRestrictions: { country: 'uk' }, fields: ['formatted_address'], types: ['address'], }; autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(acInputs, options); autocomplete.addListener("place_changed", fillInAddress); } function fillInAddress() { // Get the place details from the autocomplete object. const place = autocomplete.getPlace(); console.log(place.formatted_address); return; } initialize(); Also your script should load after the body, and use defer. <body> <form> <div class="form-group"> <label for="exampleFormControlInput1">Job Address</label> <input type="text" class="form-control maps-autocomplete" id="JobAddress"> </div> </form> <script type="text/javascript" src="script.js" defer></script> </body>
  4. For future reference, please use the code tags feature of the forum, and not a picture of your code.
  5. You might consider switching to the places api.
  6. A couple of things: A way to mitigate the potential for sql injection (even if this is a backoffice tool) would be to cast the company id parameter to integer. $id = (int)$_GET['COMPANY_ID']; See Danish's post to you for some helpful improvements. Indeed you should use bound parameters as shown. With that said, it's not relevant to your script not working. Also omit the ending tag in your php scripts. ( ?> ) . Just scanning the code provided, it seems likely there is an issue with the database connection on the production server. You didn't provide that code but you probably aren't catching connection errors in dataconn/connection.php
  7. The | is just an OR. (This thing)|(that thing). There are 2 great regex testing sites you should try. They can really help you experiment and understand how regex works. First there is https://regex101.com/ 2nd is: https://regexr.com/ They both have resources and a testing interface that is really useful. I have loaded the regex I provided with some tests into regexr here: https://regexr.com/7tc1q One thing to keep in mind is that the testing tools don't allow you to change the delimiter from the default of /. You can continue to use the slash delimiter without issue, so long as you escape any slashes: \/ Note that you do not need to escape slashes inside a character class ie. [ ."/ ]
  8. Seems pretty cut and dry that you just need to add an OR to optionally match the "shorts/". I don't know if the rest of the code will also return the data you are looking to scrape or not. preg_match('%(?:youtube(?:-nocookie)?\.com/(?:[^/]+/.+/|(?:shorts/)?|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)/|.*[?&]v=)|youtu\.be/)([^"&?/ ]{11})%i', $linkurl, $match);

    Hello

    Sure thing. Mantis was used by a lot of companies once upon a time. You don't see it used as much these days, since it's well over 20 years old, and PHP has changed a lot in that time. With that said, there is still a community that has been updating it and fixing bugs. It has a fairly antiquated structure (doesn't implement a standard MVC pattern) but it's a nice product from what I recall.
  10. It depends. Most people don't do email correctly. Technically speaking, an email done correctly should be multi-part mime with sections separated that include a content-type section, with a pure text version and charset (Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" for example), and a separate email version. For text, the newlines will be interpreted correctly. HTML does not honor newlines in whitespace, but as Barand linked to you, you can use nl2br(). These days, a lot of people just send html, and many email clients will figure this out and provide an html version of the email, even if it's the only part of the message body. This gist has some helpful notes, describing how a Multipart Mime email should be constructed. The better php email libraries take care of these details for you, if you utilize their api's correctly, but it helps to understand it in advance, as email deliverability is already a big problem for many companies.
  11. Yet it seems you missed several important suggestions. What you presented is neither a model, nor a view. The approach of the function above should be avoided for a few reasons. The actual query code ought to be part of your navs model. You presented your custom model code, so why did you not use it and make a navs model? A view should have nothing other than markup and whatever minimal logic you need to process the data and integrate it. Since you are making your own mvc, have you created a view base class? Typically people will put view in a particular subdirectory, and name the view files using some convention Most view subsystems actually involve a parsing/combination step, since the views are often not .php files This facilitates partials and all sorts of valuable structure support, but you could get away with using require_once and having snippets of code With that said, just keeping it simple your views can be plain old .php files, but perhaps named as home.view.php. You will probably also want files like header.view.php or perhaps header.part.view.php and footer.view.php. You could also do a view base class to help with template code that should be shared. Cakephp has something like this and their templates are for the most part straight php code. Views should assume that the required data (typically data from model calls in the controller) is passed in via a standard parameter Take a look at symfony & twig, laravel & blade or Cakephp 4's view system to get some ideas of how popular frameworks have handled Views.

    My Intro

    Welcome to the forum. We are happy to have you here. If you have any questions let us know. I am glad to see you are taking things seriously and taking notes, while reading documentation. We really work best here, when people are asking questions about specific things they are working on, or having trouble with. The best way to learn initially is to build things.
  13. As usual Barand to the rescue with a really elegant solution. Given what I understand about your needs, this is what I'd do. I'd assume you need a job that takes an Event id and actually performs some action. Use Cron to run Barand's job 1x daily. Loop through results and exec the event handler script(s) as required.
  14. I would need some example data to understand what this list of events looks like. There is no problem with you using a foreach loop or something like that, if it accomplishes your goal. There are also functions like array_search that might be part of a solution.
  15. Without an actual spec for what the format of the output would be, here's a simple function that returns an array of the days indicated. function toDayofWeekArray(string $schedule) { $days = [ 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday', 'Sunday' ]; return array_combine($days, str_split($schedule)); } It's important to note that this must be a string in the database, because, if you for example have this: 0000100 from the database, and PHP turns that into an integer, the function above won't work, because your leading zeros will be lost. It must remain a string for this to work correctly. Little test: $i = "0001001"; var_dump(array_filter(toDayOfWeekArray($i))); // Should return this array(2) { ["Thursday"]=> string(1) "1" ["Sunday"]=> string(1) "1" } This is a simplified and combined version, that includes the filtration, and removes the left over array values: function toDayofWeekArray(string $schedule) { $days = [ 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday', 'Sunday' ]; return array_keys(array_filter(array_combine($days, str_split($schedule)))); }
