[[SOLVED] I need a script that will count up from a date (like a clock)]

Never mind, I figured it out. :D

[[SOLVED] I need a script that will count up from a date (like a clock)]

I want a script so that it will count up from a date from onload, like a stopwatch. Not by comparing it to the client-side clock.

so instead of saying "It's been 8 years and 45 days since this date" it would just start at the setcount date and count up like a clock.

Oh, and I'd like to be able to set the starting hour, minute, and second instead of having it just start from the day.

Thanks!

Here is a script that runs off of the clock. I've been working on it all day but all I get is "NaN"  :'(

[code]<script language="JavaScript1.2">

function setcountup(theyear,themonth,theday){
yr=theyear;mo=themonth;da=theday
}

//////////CONFIGURE THE countup SCRIPT HERE//////////////////

//STEP 1: Configure the date to count up from, in the format year, month, day:
//This date should be less than today
setcountup(1999,3,2)

//STEP 2: Configure text to be attached to count up
var displaymessage="have passed since the debut of our site!"

//STEP 3: Configure the below 5 variables to set the width, height, background color, and text style of the countup area
var countupwidth='95%'
var countupheight='20px' //applicable only in NS4
var countupbgcolor='lightyellow'
var opentags='<font face="Verdana"><small>'
var closetags='</small></font>'

//////////DO NOT EDIT PASS THIS LINE//////////////////

var montharray=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
var crosscount=''

function start_countup(){
if (document.layers)
document.countupnsmain.visibility="show"

[sorting a textfile database]

[quote author=Nicklas link=topic=114288.msg465084#msg465084 date=1163018882]
If you want to sort on the second column, then you need to make sure that all lines have atleast 2 columns, that´s all you need to know. Number of lines doesnt matter.

Oh yes, I see.

Thank you very much! :)

[PHP & Flash]

If you embed a file you're taking that file from another location. It's like hot-linking to a jpg. To my knowlage you have no control over what's inside of that file unless it's your file.

Joe

[Post a form to multiple locations?]

Sorry, I took it to mean that he didn't have control over the code, so I was asking whether he could put in an exit page (some pages allow you to do this).

Anyway... maybe he just doesn't know how to use cURL (I know that I sure don't :P)

Joe

[PHP & Flash]

use [b]str_replace()[/b] to prevent them from using the <embed tag:

[code]$comment = str_replace("<embed", "<!--", $comment);[/code]

[redirect Help]

If you gave each member a profile you could include their status as a buyer or a seller and show them different pages that way:

On the profile page write a line like this:
[code]$status = "customer";[/code]

Then put this code in your index:
[code]<?
require "./profiles/{$user}.php";
require "./{$status}_index.php";
?>[/code]

Now you need to creat customer_index.php and supplier_index.php

Put everything that you want [b]both[/b] to see in the main index.php.

Joe

[Post a form to multiple locations?]

once you've posted the info to the asp page will it allow you to redirect the viewer to another page?

You could put the "script submitted" code on that page.

Joe

[sorting a textfile database]

Thanks Nicklas.

Just one question:

If I use the above function then I would need to know the number and the content of the lines, right? So that, if I added or edited a line, I'd have to also modify the code in the function?

Again, thanks!

Joe

It's just several lines, seperated by whatever:

[code]animal|dog|cat|mouse
eats|cats|mice|grass
lives in|my yard|my house|my attic[/code]

[[Solved]'Hiding' Links]

no problem.

It's my payback for all the help that I've received, and still do, from this forum.

Joe

[[Solved]'Hiding' Links]

At the very [b]top[/b] of your page put this:
[code]<?php
if($site){
header("Location: $site");
}
?>[/code]

Then this code should send you to Google:
http://www.mysite.com/link.php?site=http://www.google.com

If you don't want the address to be visible in the link then you can store it on the page (or external file) and call it by a number:

[code]<?php
if($site){
$key = $site;
$address = array("http://www.yahoo.com", "http://www.google.com", "http://www.excite.com");
header("Location: $address[$key]");
}
?>[/code]

And use the number in this link:
http://www.mysite.com/link.php?site=2

[e-mail link called from database is appending url info - why?]

Don't forget both double quotes:

[echo chinese character]

I was having a simular problem with one of my codes. It would dislpay fine when the chinese word was called in the script, but if it was passed to the script inside of a url then it just showed up as ???.

It was suggested on this forum that I put the php script into a text file, save it under a Chinese encoding, and then try it. I have not had time to try yet so I can't endorse or refute this advise.

[sorting a textfile database]

I'm just trying to make a table that I can sort by any column. I don't want to change the information in the lines.

I've been playing around with it a bit and I [i]could[/i] reorder the lines
[code]<?
foreach($data as $key => $value){
list($one, $two, $three, $four) = explode("|", $value);
$array = array($four, $three, $two, $one);
$data[$key] = implode("|", $array);
}
$table = implode("\n", $data);
sort($data);
?>[/code]
But it seemed a bit cumbersom and I was hoping that there was a better way.

Joe

[sorting a textfile database]

Hi,

If I have a database stored on a text file that looks like this:

animal|dog|cat|mouse
eats|cats|mice|grass
poops in|my yard|my house|my cereal

I can sort the table by the first column like this:
[code]<?
$data = file($database);
sort($data);
?>[/code]

Is there an easy way to sort the database by the second or third column?

Thanks!

Joe

[echo chinese character]

the character is "funny looking"? like alien letters?

If you have IE try this:
1. Click on "View" in the toolbar at the top of the window.
2. Click on "Encoding"
3. Select "Big 5", "Chinese Simplified (GB2312)", or some other Chinese encoding

Thanks everyone, I should have known that...  ::)

[upload & save a live audio recording]

Yeah, I'm saving and uploading now. What I want is something that I can record directly to a folder on my server so that I don't have to go through the multi-step process of recording, saving, and uploading.

Thanks anyway,

Joe

[upload & save a live audio recording]

I want to be able to save an audio recording on my website. Now, I know how to upload a file that's saved on my hard drive, but is there a way to save something that I'm saying into a microphone into a folder on my server?

Thanks!

Joe

[hide/show divs.. how do i do that?]

It sounds like what you want is JavaScript's onclick function.

Joe

[trouble with Chinese words]

I guess I should make myself more clear:

if the link is:
[code]index?face=加法[/code]

and the following page has:
[code]echo "$face";[/code]

Why would it output [b]???[/b]

And is there anyway to get it to output the chinese word?

Thanks!

Joe

[trouble with Chinese words]

Hi,

I'm trying to use PHP to create a link with a chinese word in it that will open an iframe.

The code that I'm using is this:
[code]echo "<a href=\"./rightcard.php?word=$chinese_word\" target=\"iframe\">Link</a>";[/code]

In the source code it looks like this:
[code]<a href="./rightcard.php?word=&#21160;&#29289;" target=\"iframe\">Link</a>[/code]

If it weren't for an iframe it would look like this in the URL bar:
[code]http://test.org/index.php?word=加法[/code]

But when I click on it the word comes up as "??"

I wanted to delete a post that I made a couple of days ago. How does one do this? I didn't think that it was an option so I had to settle for erasing the post.  ???

[Looking for "Mailing List" script]

It's not so hard. :)

When you're faced by a difficult project just break it into parts

When they're setting up their account have a code like this in the register page:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
$profile = './accounts/{$username}_profile.php";
$address_list = './accounts/addresses.php";
if(!file_exists($path) { [b]// does the profile already exist?[/b]
$new_profile_content = "<?\n\$status = \"unmoderated\";\n\$email = \"$register_email\";\n?>"; [b]// what to put in the profile[/b]
$add_register_email = "$register_email\n"; [b]// the user's email address with a line break added[/b]
$new_profile = fopen($path, "w"); [b]// create the profile[/b]
fwrite($new_profile, $new_profile_content); [b]// write the info[/b]
fclose($new_profile); [b]// close the profile[/b]
$add_address = fopen($addresses, "a+"); [b]// open the addresses.php[/b]
fwrite($add_address, $add_register_email); [b]// add the address[/b]
fclose($add_address); [b]// close addresses.php[/b]
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
(The register page will have to provide the $username and $register_email)

Then, when they submit a message at your webpage use this code:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
$profile = './accounts/{$username}_profile.php";
$address_list = './accounts/addresses.php";
require "$profile"; [b]// get their profile info[/b]
if($status == "unmoderated"){
$subject = 'the subject'; [b]// your subject[/b]
$message = 'hello'; [b]// your message[/b]
$headers = 'From: $email' . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
$addresses = file($address_list); [b]// turn addresses.php into an array[/b]
foreach($addresses as $key => $value){ [b]// for each one...[/b]
$to = "$value";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); [b]// send them the message[/b]
}
} [b]// all done![/b]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course, this is just off the top of my head and may need some tweaking to work right.
