    Before I get to the problem, let me just say: You don't have to define the same element for screen and print if the style is the same for both (i.e. the html & body where you set the same properties for both). In this case I assume all styles are to be the same for screen & print except for the "noprint" style to be used on items that, well, shouldn't print. So, for the default styles don't declare a media value. I have never used different STYLE blocks for different media types. I have always used the @media property within a single STYLE block to define different media styles. I don't know which method is right or wrong, but a little testing showed me why you are experiencing this problem. And, it is an interesting difference. When using different STYLE blocks for different media types, if you declare a class in one media style block and not another, the browser is applying that class to all media types. So, in your code above you did not define the noprint class in the print media style block. I guess the browser then defaulted to the properties for that class in the print media style block. The method I typically used didn't have this behavior. Example: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> /* media neutral styles go here */ @media print { .noprint { display: none; } } </style> </head> <body> <div>This will print</div> <div class="noprint">This will NOT print</div> </body> </html>

    Here's a rewrite of your original code. I think its a little more efficinet and logically laid out. Give it a try: <?php //$to = $_REQUEST['sendto'] ; $to = "ainurdesign@gmail.com"; //Trim all the values foreach($_REQUEST as $key => $value) { $_REQUEST[$key] = trim($value); } //Check for missing data $errors = array(); if(empty($_REQUEST['Email'])) { $errors{} = "You have not entered an email, please return and try again"; } if(empty($_REQUEST['Company'])) { $errors{} = "You have not entered a company name, please return and try again"; } if(empty(($_REQUEST['Contact'])) { $errors{} = "You have not entered a contact name, please return and try again"; } if(empty($_REQUEST['Phone'])) { $errors{} = "You have not entered a phone number, please return and try again"; } if(empty($_REQUEST['Street'])) { $errors{} = "You have not entered a street address, please return and try again"; } if(empty($_REQUEST['City'])) { $errors{} = "You have not entered a city, please return and try again"; } if(empty($_REQUEST['State'])) { $errors{} = "You have not entered a state, please return and try again"; } if(empty($_REQUEST['Zip'])) { $errors{} = "You have not entered a zip code, please return and try again"; } if(empty($_REQUEST['Interest'])) { $errors{} = "You have not entered your selection for drop-shipping or wholesale, please return and try again"; } if(empty($_REQUEST['Agree'])) { $errors{} = "You have not selected Yes to the agreement, please return and try again"; } if (count($errors)>0) { //There was missing data echo "The following errors occured<br>\n"; echo "<ul>\n"; foreach($errors as $error) { echo "<li>{$error}</li>\n"; } echo "</ul>\n"; } else { //No validation errors, create the email content //Data fro email #1 $subject1 = "Retailer Form Information"; $headers1 = "From: $from"; $body = "Wholesaler info is as follows:\n\n"; $bodyfields = array('Company', 'Contact', 'Email', 'Phone', 'Street', 'City', 'State', 'Zip', 'Interest', 'License', 'Business', 'URL', 'Comments', 'Agree'); foreach($bodyfields as $field) { $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n", $field, $_REQUEST[$field]); } //Data for email #2 $subject2 = "Thank you for contacting GrowFrame"; $autoreply = "Thank you for contacting us. Someone will get back to you as soon as possible, usually within 48 hours. If you have any immediate questions, please feel free to call our Sales Manager, Traci Elliott, at 1 (805) 407-3471."; $headers2 = "From: Trevor @ GrowShow/GrowFrame.com"; //Send the emails $send = mail($to, $subject1, $body, $headers1); $send2 = mail($_REQUEST['Email'], $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2); if(!$send || !$send2) { //Errors in sending the emails echo "We encountered an error sending your email, please confirm your address is correct and try again."; } else { //No errors returned header( "Location: http://thegrowframe.com/return.html" ); exit(); } } ?>

    OK, I lied. I decided to read through the code. I'm surprised you are not getting any errors. One problem that I see right off is that your else/if are malformed. Each subsequent IF statement is "embedded" in the one before it. So, you would not have enough closing brackets. here is part of your IF/ELSE section with spacing added to see the structure: if($from == '') { print "You have not entered an email, please return and try again"; } else { if($company == '') { print "You have not entered a company name, please return and try again"; } else { if($name == '') { print "You have not entered a contact name, please return and try again"; } else { if($phone == '') { print "You have not entered a phone number, please return and try again"; } I think you meant to do something more like this: if($from == '') { print "You have not entered an email, please return and try again"; } elseif($company == '') { print "You have not entered a company name, please return and try again"; } elseif($name == '') { print "You have not entered a contact name, please return and try again"; } elseif($phone == '') { print "You have not entered a phone number, please return and try again"; }

    Not to be rude, but I'm not going to read through all of that. But, if you were able to get the "default" setup to work then you can solve this yourself. Start with the default form. Then add some additional functionality you need. Test it. Does it still work? If so, add some more functionality you need. If not, find the error in the code you just added. By adding small bits of functinoality at a time you know exactly what code is causing the problem. When you add a whole bunch of functionality at one time there can be many different errors causing problems making debugging much more difficult.

    What?! JavaScript is needed to run AJAX. When the user clicks the link you already have all the information you need in the browser (i.e. JavaScript can access it). So, what benefit would there be in using AJAX to do a server-side call? You would only be having the client-side JavaScript sending information based on what the user clicked to a server page so that page can return back what? The same information it just sent?

    Here is an example PHP script which dynamically creates the email links and includes JavaScript to populate a textarea based on which links are clicked. <?php $contacts = array ( 'Michael' => 'michael@domain.com', 'Jane' => 'jane@domain.com', 'Dave' => 'dave@domain.com', 'Linda' => 'linda@domain.com', 'Bob' => 'bob@domain.com' ); //Create email links $emailLinks = ''; foreach($contacts as $name => $email) { $emailLinks .= "<a href=\"mailto:{$email}\" onclick=\"addEmailToList('{$name}: {$email}');\">{$name}</a><br />\n"; } ?> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function addEmailToList($value) { var textareaObj = document.getElementById('emailList'); textareaObj.value += ((textareaObj.value)?'\n':'') + $value; return true; } </script> </head> <body> Send an email to the following people:<br /> <?php echo $emailLinks; ?> <br /><br /><br /> Email links clickd:<br /> <textarea id="emailList" style="width:300px;height:150px;"></textarea> </body> </html>

    I think you have a disconnect between what PHP and JavaScript do. PHP is used to create the HTML output that is sent to the browser. The browser does not know or care "how" that HTML content is produced (flat file, PHP, ASP, etc.). JavaScript is included in the HTML code and allows functionality to occure within the browser. The fact that you create the text area in PHP has no relevance on whether you can implement JavaScript. You will just nclude the JavaScript code in the output created by the PHP code. I'll post an example in a sec.

    Use the CSS @media property. You can them apply different styles to obects based upon the "media" that it is in. So, you can set a different "display" propert based upon whether the element is displayed in a browser or in the "print" media. So, for the elements you do not want printed give them a display value of "none" for the print media. There was a similar post which I replied to with example code: http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,289715.msg1372740.html#msg1372740

    Thanks for pointing that out Andy, but it had no effect. If i comment out the 4 echo statements the image shows. It's either the text or image, never both. Are you sure about that? This is what is in the script above print "<img src=\"./uploads/{$_FILES['photo']['name']}"; Which will produce something like this <img src="./uploads/filename.jpg Since you don't close the src parameter (or the img tag), the browser gets confused. I'm guessing it works when you don't include the other echos because the browser is not seeing any other content after that so it "assumes" that is the end of the source and "fixes" the mistake. Change that line to this: print "<img src=\"./uploads/{$_FILES['photo']['name']}\" />"; Are you using IE for testing? If so, try switching to FF. IE has a habit of trying to "correct" malformed HTML. So, if you have errors in the HTML code it may look fine in IE, but not in other browsers. Also, when you have these types of error, it helps to look at the actual HTML produced. Trying to spot HTML errors in PHP code can be difficult.

    The problem is that you are giving the input fields the same name (and it is not an array). Therefore only one value is passed. Just change the field name to be an array using square brakets, like so: <input type="hidden" readonly="readonly" name="goal_id[]" id="goal_id" value="<?php echo $row1['goal_id'];?>" size="12"/> Then in your receiving page, you can create one UPDATE query using the IN control: $idList = implode(',', $_GET['goal_id']); //Assumes numeric field $query = "UPDATE table SET filed='value' WHERE goal_id IN ({$idList})"; Also, you need to give every element a unique ID, you cannot use the same ID twice.

    strip tags

    Psycho replied to hamza's topic in PHP Coding Help

    This is a slightly improved version of that function which can strip all the tags at once without a foreach loop. I also removed the section to handle <> in the value when passed as a string. I figured if the values can't include those when passing the values as an array then the same rules should apply when passing as a string. Instead, I modified it to allow multiple values to be passed in a single comma separated string: <?php function strip_only($str, $tags) { if(!is_array($tags)) { $tags = explode(',',$tags); } $tagsPattern = implode('|', $tags); return preg_replace("#</?({$tagsPattern})[^>]*>#is", '', $str); } $str = ' <br><br><span id="1.612802118875386"><b>Other Page: </b>Matte Card<br><b>Gramage: </b>80 gram<br>sdafsdaf<br> <a href="#" onclick="removetext(1.612802118875386)"> Remove </a> </span><br><br><span id="1.014127052347593"><b>Other Page: </b>Matte Card<br><b>Gramage: </b>100 gram<br>sdfasfsdfdsfsdafsdafas<br> <a href="#" onclick="removetext(1.014127052347593)"> Remove </a> </span>'; echo strip_only($str, 'span,a'); // OR echo strip_only($str, array('span', 'a')); ?>

    I responded to you in the PM you sent. What you are asking seems pretty simple, and I would be happy to do it for you. But, before I do anything let me know exactly what you want done so I can see what would be involved. Also, there are other problems with your script that shoud be addressed. For instance you are creating output before your BODY tag.

    Just to pile on to what Teamatomic is saying: PHP does not do any client-side, real-time functionality such as checking/unchecking checkboxes, enabling/disabling fields, etc., etc. The only way you could do it with PHP is to have the user submit the page (such as a "check all" button as teamatomic stated) and then determine the action the user selected and then resend the page to the user with the appropriate controls modified. It's a waste of time and the it will be a poor experience for the user. Client-side functionality such as this is exactly what JavaScript is for.
  16. Psycho
    One thing you can do to really improve the performace of this script would be to remove everything from within the loop that does not need to be there. For example, there is no need to redefine these variables with the same values on every iteration of the loop // From email address $from = "xxxxxx"; $from_name = "xxxxxx "; Define them before the loop. But, what will help the most will be to remove the UPDATE query from within the loop. Instead save the $tomail variables to an array and then run a single update query at the end. In fact you should only mark a record as processed if the mail sends without error. Something like this: $processed = array(); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($objRSm, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { //Do some stuff if (mail($tomail, $subject, $mailmessage, $headers)) { $processed[] = $tomail; } //Do some more stuff } //end loop //Single update query for all processed records $upd = "UPDATE maillist SET sent='6' WHERE email IN ('" . implode("', '", $processed) . "')"; As for echoing every 100 records to the page, you are apparently using the id field as the counter. Not sure what data you actually have in your database, but it is perfectly possible that you don't have the id numbers that you think you do.

    Pretty much. Look at the link I posted. The first example should give you a perfect idea of how it works.

    @teamatomic: Not sure where you were going with that, but it doesn't sort by last name. The asort() is sorting the lines as an entire sting and the string begins with the first name. The OP wants to sort by last name. @OP: This is tested: Just read the data into a multidimensional array and then create a custom function to use with usort() to sort in any manner you wish. The example below will sort by last name and then by first name (if the last names are the same). You can add as many sub sorts as you wish. <?php $dataFile = "data.csv"; //The data file to read $contactData = array(); //Array to hold the results //Array of keys to apply to each line of data $keys = array('first', 'last', 'street', 'city', 'state', 'zip', 'area', 'phone'); //Read CSV and put into multi-dimensional array if (($handle = fopen($dataFile, 'r')) !== FALSE) { while (($contactLine = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) { //Trim values and add to output array $values = array_map("trim", $contactLine); $contactData[] = array_combine($keys, $values); } fclose($handle); } //Create function for sorting output array function sortContacts($a, $b) { //Sort by last name if different if ($a['last']!=$b['last']) { return strcmp($a['last'], $b['last']); } //Sort by first name if different if ($a['first']!=$b['first']) { return strcmp($a['first'], $b['first']); } return 0; } //Sort the array using custom function above usort($contactData, 'sortContacts'); //Ouput the results echo "<pre>"; print_r($contactData); echo "</pre>"; ?>

    Edit: Nightslyr beat me to it, but I'll post this anyway: This is all about variable scope. The process above is pretty strait-forward. When you set $num = 10 it is done outside of any function so it has "global" scope. When you are then IN a function that variable is not directly available. FOr example, if you defined $num inside a function it is a different instance of $num. However, you can reference global variables in a couple of ways. 1. Initiate the gloabl variable within the function function name() { global $num; } In that case $num inside the function is the same variable as $num outside the function 2. Using $GLOBALS keyword as in the script above. It is an associate array of all the gloabl variables. So, since $num was defined outside the function it is gloabl and you can reference it inside a function, any function, using $GLOBALS['num'] See the manual here: http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.globals.php Although I agree that function looks to be a bad idea, but is constructive for understanding the behavior

    What? Not at all. In fact I typically separate my logic in one file and the HTML in another file. Just put an include at the end of the PHP section with the file with the HTML code.
  21. Psycho
    So, do some basic debugging to find the problem: - Echo the query to the page to see if it looks correct. - Test the query in PHP admin to ensure it returns results or echo mysql_num_rows() to see how many records are displayed. See what those return and then go from there.
  22. Psycho
    Getting the data will be easy, the problematic issue is displaying the results because the number of columns will be determined by the Account with the most Formats and that is not known until you have processed all the records. In other words, when you create the first row you won't know how many columns to create. So, you may need to pre-process the data from the query first. One thing I don't understant is what the totals at the bottom are supposed to represent. The ones on the right will be the total of all formats for an account, but the totals at the bottom don't mean anything because they will change based upon the order of the formats listed for each account. Anyway, see what this does for you (not tested): <?php //Query the data $query = "SELECT s.Account, o.Format FROM tblSchools s JOIN tblOrders ON o.SystemName = s.SystemName ORDER BY s.Account, o.Format"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); //Put data into array $accountData = array(); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { if(!isset($accountData[$row['Account']])) { $accountData[$row['Account']] = array(); } $accountData[$row['Account']][] = $row['Format']; } //Determine maximum formats $maxFormats = 0; foreach($accountData as $accountFormats) { if(count($accountFormats)>$maxFormats) { $maxFormats = count($accountFormats); } } //Create the header row $tableOutput .= "<tr>\n"; $tableOutput .= "<th></th>\n"; for($i=0; $i<$maxFormats; $i++) { $tableOutput .= "<th>Format {$i}</th>\n"; } $tableOutput .= "<th>Total</th>\n"; $tableOutput .= "</tr>\n"; //Create the data rows $columnTotals = array(); $tableOutput = ''; foreach($accountData as $account => $accountFormats) { $subTotal = 0; $tableOutput .= "<tr>\n"; $tableOutput .= "<th>{$account}</th>\n"; for($i=0; $i<$maxFormats; $i++) { $format = ''; if (isset($accountFormats[$i])) { $format = $accountFormats[$i]; $subTotal += $accountFormats[$i]; $columnTotals[$i] += $accountFormats[$i]; } $tableOutput .= "<td>{$format}</td>\n"; } $tableOutput .= "<td>{$subTotal}</td>\n"; $tableOutput .= "</tr>\n"; } //Create the bottom total row $tableOutput .= "<tr>\n"; for($i=0; $i<$maxFormats; $i++) { $tableOutput .= "<td>{$columnTotals[$i]}</td>\n"; } $tableOutput .= "<td>" . array_sum($columnTotals) . "</td>\n"; $tableOutput .= "</tr>\n"; ?> <html> <head></head> <body> <table> <?php echo $tableOutput; ?> </table> </body> </html>

    OK, I did not have your database so some of the coding had to be done without testing. I tried to make the query be "flexible" but must have created an error when doing so. One of the queries is failing. The code above is apparently being included in another file, correct? Because the line number in the error (line 304) is greater than the line numbers above. You need to figure out which query is failing and why. The code doesn't have any error handling for query failures and it should - but that was outside the context fo this post. There are two lines where you actually run queries. Change both of them as indicated. die() is not recommended for "normal" debugging in a production script, but is fine for on-the-fly debugging such as this. Change this: $result = mysql_query($query); To this: or die ("Query:<br />{$query}<br />Error:<br />".mysql_error()); Also, I see another error. Change this: $total_records = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $total_records = $result['num']; To this: $result_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $total_records = $result_row['num'];
  24. Psycho
    MIght I also suggest that for the query you only match the beginning of first name or last name instead of anywhere in the string? This is typical when doing name searches. For example, I did a seach for last name with the letter "D" expecting all the results where the last name began with "D". Instead I got results for all records where "D" was included anywhere in the last name, such as "Ward".
  25. Psycho
    You should never be using die() when there are validation errors. You should separate the logic from the presentation in your code. Do all the PHP code up front and THEN create the output. The only PHP code that should be interspersed in the HTML is simple echo commands for output text you generate in the logic. Here is a rewrite of your page. See if this works for you. Notice the separatation of the logic at the top of the page and the output at the bottom When following this process you can separate the logic and the output into separate files. Make the managemetn and upkeep much simpler. NOTE: I did not test this, so there may be some syntax errors. <?php $error_msg = ''; $fname = ''; $lname = ''; if (isset($_POST['first']) || isset($_POST['last'])) { //User submitted a search query $fname = trim($_POST['first']); $lname = trim($_POST['last']); if(empty($lname)) { //No last name entered $validationError = "Please enter a last name"; } else { //Perform the database search mysql_connect("antondad.db.4161444.hostedresource.com", $username, $password); @mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database"); $sql_fname = mysql_real_escape_string($fname); $sql_lname = mysql_real_escape_string($lname); $query="SELECT block, plot, first, last FROM names WHERE last LIKE '%{$sql_lname}%' AND first LIKE '%{$sql_fname}%'"; $result=mysql_query($query); if(!$result) { $error_msg = "Database error occured."; } elseif(mysql_num_rows($result)==0) { $error_msg = "Sorry, no results found."; } else { $recordResults = ''; while ($record = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $recordResults .= " <tr>\n"; $recordResults .= " <td><class=\"body\">{$record['block']}</font></td>\n"; $recordResults .= " <td><font face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">{$record['plot']}</font></td>\n"; $recordResults .= " <td><font face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">{$record['first']}</font></td>\n"; $recordResults .= " <td><font face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">{$record['last']}</font></td>\n"; $recordResults .= " </tr>\n"; } } mysql_close(); } } ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Eugene Pioneer Cemetery</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/nav_buttons.js"></script> <LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/ds.css"> </head> <body bgcolor="#EEEEEE"> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="891" border="0"> <tr> <td align="center" class="form" valign="top"> WHOLE BUNCH OF HTML<img src="img/TP_pixel.gif" width="1" height="10" border="0" alt=""> <div style="color:#ff0000;"> <p style="color:#ff0000;"><?php echo $error_msg; ?></p> <form action="record.php" method="post"> <div align="left"> <img src="img/TP_pixel.gif" width="280" height="1" border="0" alt=""> First Name:<img src="img/TP_pixel.gif" width="105" height="1" border="0" alt="">Last Name: </div> <input type="text" name="first" value="<?php echo $fname; ?>" /> <img src="img/TP_pixel.gif" width="20" height="1" border="0" alt=""> <input type="text" name="last" value="<?php echo $lname; ?>" /><br /> <img src="img/TP_pixel.gif" width="1" height="30" border="0" alt=""><br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <table border="1" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" align="center"> <tr> <th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Block</font></th> <th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Plot</font></th> <th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">First Name</font></th> <th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Last Name</font></th> </tr> <?php echo $recordResults; ?> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
