[Using DEFINED variables in a webpage]

can you show us the code that you are using?

[Creating Invoice Numbers ?]

is there any reason why they need to be random? most businesses just have a running number (like auto_increment)

[why oop needed for php programming?]

OOP is putting a group of related functions in a class...then you can reuse that class later and whatever is in it.

[[SOLVED] Typing what I type]

see, there ya go, easy enough right?

[why oop needed for php programming?]

you can re-use your code a lot faster and easier. it's also easier to link ideas/functions together with it.

[How should I price this project?]

well you can also say something like "you will make a lot of $ off of ads" and that is true if you have a quality site with lots of traffic. Either through something like google adsense and/or selling ad space.

[[SOLVED] Typing what I type]

you can start here: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_onkeyup.asp

 

then you can use the onkeyup to update content in a div

[[SOLVED] what software can provide good website interface design?]

Photoshop + Dreamweaver + CSS + PHP + MySQL

 

thats all you need!

[self introduction^^]

welcome! I think you will get a lot out of these forums...i know i did

[How do you manage multiple projects?]

I think the way I'm reading this you are refering to keeping emails/contacts/to-do lists/milestones straight between the 2 projects? is that correct? if so you should really look into something like BaseCamp check out some of the plans. It's a very small investment to keep you organized. I like it a lot.

[How should I price this project?]

$500 is REALLY unfair to you. You will be doing a LOT more work...even if you did get all pre-made software (for free) like tippy_102 said.

 

 

I would probably charge about $5,000 for this project, just because I have everything built except for the blogs and CCbill, so everything else can be up and running within about 2-5 hours. BTW...that's $5,000 for the PHP/MySQL programming only, this does not include design and front end stuff like HTML/CSS layout

[Your Work Area]

no one else?

[Left-handed typing]

ok cool, I just don't wanna see someone NOT use your product for something like that.

[Left-handed typing]

wow, that's pretty cool. I don't use Unix all that much but I think it's pretty neat that you can do stuff like that.

 

So what happens when you want to use the caps lock? You should make a work around where it's like Shift+Caps to actually turn the Caps on. Just a thought

[Dreamweaver shortcuts?]

Yes, CS3 can do what wildteen said. just look it up in the help section

[Your Work Area]

I like tama's they sound pretty good. I have a Mapex Orion Classic, Tama Swingstar (for practice), Tama Starclassic Birch, and a Pearl Reference Special Edition for 2007 (only 1 of 40 made). I love music and playing...even MORE then PHP haha

 

...So as promised, here is a little snapshot of my desk

[[SOLVED] Storing from dynamic drop down box]

<?php
$query = "INSERT INTO users (username, club_id, member_type, first_name, last_name, email, password, registration_date) VALUES ('$u', ".$_POST['clubdrop'].", 'Member', '$fn', '$ln', '$e', PASSWORD('$p'), NOW() )"; 
?>

[simple array length]

yeah either way you need to do it.

 

you can also do something like this:

<?php
foreach($your_array as $new_value){
echo "Do something with $new_value";
}
?>

 

You can do that so you don't need to know how many are in the array

[simple array length]

$total = count($your_array);

[[SOLVED] Storing from dynamic drop down box]

INSERT INTO `table` (club_id) VALUES ($_POST['clubdrop'])

 

does that work?

[[SOLVED] Storing from dynamic drop down box]

Try something like this:

<select name="clubdrop"><option value="">Pick</option>
<?php 
$sql = "SELECT * FROM club";
  	$result = mysql_query($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
	$club_id = $row["club_id"];
	$clubName = $row["clubn"];
	$club_id == $YOUR_OTHER_CLUB_ID ? $sel = 'SELECTED' : $sel = '';
?>
<option value="<?php echo $club_id ?>" <?php echo $sel ?>><?php echo $clubName ?></option>
<?php 
} ?>
</select>

[display results according to distance]

Here is my code that I used:

<?php
$end = '';

$zip_from = $_SESSION['zipcode'];
$zips = $z->get_zips_in_range($zip_from, $_SESSION['radius']);

$zip = '';
$x = 1;
$count_zips = count($zips);
if($count_zips > 0){
    $zip = "zip = $zip_from OR ";
}

foreach ($zips as $key => $value) {
    $zip .= "zip = $key";

    if($x < $count_zips){
        $zip .= " OR ";
    }else{
        $zip .= " ";
    }

    $x++;
}
$end .= $zip;

$sql = "SELECT 
            *  
        FROM 
            dealers
        WHERE 
            access = '1' AND search = '1' AND ($end) 
        ORDER BY 
            cname ASC";

$result = $db->query($sql);
$numrows = $db->numRows($result);

if($numrows > 0){
    $dealers = array();
    while($row = $db->fetch($result)){
        $cname = $row['cname'];
        $address = $row['address'];
        $city = $row['city'];
        $state = $row['state'];
        $zip = $row['zip'];
        $phone = $row['phone'];
        $url = $row['url'];
        if(strlen($url) > 0){
            $url = $func->convertURL($url);
            $url = "<a href=\"$url\" target=\"_blank\">Visit their Web site</a><br />";
        }
        
        $map = "$address $city, $state $zip";
        $map = str_replace(' ', '+', $map);
        
        $miles = $z->get_distance($zip_from, $zip);
        
        $address = "$address <br />$city, $state $zip<br />$phone";
        
        $dealers[] = array("name" => $cname, "address" => $address, "map" => $map, "miles" => $miles, "url" => $url, "zip" => $zip);
    }
    
    //Get dealers in the selected zip and sort out others
    $dealers1 = array();
    $dealers2 = array();
    $count = count($dealers);
    for($x=0;$x<$count;$x++){
        $name = $dealers[$x]['name'];
        $address = $dealers[$x]['address'];
        $map = $dealers[$x]['map'];
        $miles = $dealers[$x]['miles'];
        $url = $dealers[$x]['url'];
        $zip = $dealers[$x]['zip'];
        
        if($_SESSION['zipcode'] == $zip){
            $dealers1[] = array("name" => $name, "address" => $address, "map" => $map, "miles" => $miles, "url" => $url, "zip" => $zip);
        }else{
            $dealers2[] = array("name" => $name, "address" => $address, "map" => $map, "miles" => $miles, "url" => $url, "zip" => $zip);
        }
    }
    
    $dealers2 = $func->sortMultiArray($dealers2, 'miles');
    
    $dealers = array();
    $dealers = array_merge($dealers1, $dealers2);
}
?>

 

And how to sort a multi-dimentional array

<?php
function sortMultiArray($array, $index, $order='asc', $natsort=FALSE, $case_sensitive=FALSE){ 
        if(is_array($array) && count($array)>0)  
        { 
           foreach(array_keys($array) as $key)  
               $temp[$key]=$array[$key][$index]; 
               if(!$natsort)  
                   ($order=='asc')? asort($temp) : arsort($temp); 
              else  
              { 
                 ($case_sensitive)? natsort($temp) : natcasesort($temp); 
                 if($order!='asc')  
                     $temp=array_reverse($temp,TRUE); 
           } 
           foreach(array_keys($temp) as $key)  
               (is_numeric($key))? $sorted[]=$array[$key] : $sorted[$key]=$array[$key]; 
           return $sorted; 
      } 
      return $array; 
    }
?>

 

$dealers1 are the records where the zip code matches so the distance would be 0 miles. $dealers2 are the records where it needs to sort by distance. I hope this helps you out.

[display results according to distance]

I had to do the same type of thing. What I did was enter in all of the values into an array (name, address, phone, zip, distance). Then I re-sorted the array by distance then outputted the information.
