[How to make function that we can call from another web page?]

I'm testing my site locally on a wamp server.

 

I have a links.php having:

<?php
function topnav() {
echo'
<a href="...."></a>
}
';
?>

 

It does not seem to work if I call it in index.php:

<?php topnav(); ?>

 

I want to call the topnav() in index.php so that I don't to edit the links everytime I add a new webpage.

 

@jason_kraft: I also tried <?php include("filename.php"); ?> however it gives me an error

Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration...

 

Does javascript has something like this? I might need it in javascript codes because my website is currently in .html extensions.

[How to make function that we can call from another web page?]

How do we call a certain function from another webpage (function.html) to show in this particular page (index.html)?

 

For example if I have this in my function.html

 

<a href="http://sitename.com">sitename</a>

 

and I would like to call that function to show in the index.html without using iframes.

 

Thanks.

[How can I create a fieldname having symbols in it like #?]

Thanks Ben. I still cannot create the S# field name I enlclosed them in backticks like `S#` or (`S#`)

 

SQL query:

CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE(
`E#` NUMBER( 5 ) NOT NULL ,
EFNAME VARCHAR( 20 ) ,
ELNAME VARCHAR( 20 )
)

MySQL said: Documentation
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'NUMBER(5) NOT NULL,
EFNAME VARCHAR(20),
ELNAME VARCHAR(20),
' at line 2 

 

I think Tyche is right, maybe it is possible with other SQL applications like SQL server?

[Search Engine Optimization Questions]

Thanks.

 

Should I put a sitemap.xml or robots.txt deep inside a sub directory so that crawlers will be able to detect my subpages? Like for example, in sitename.com/mysite/sitemap.xml so that crawlers will be able to find sitname.com/mysite/subpages/.. ?

[Search Engine Optimization Questions]

Hello, how do we make a title like "My Website" appear in search engines (such as google) as title? Should I just add a meta descriptions and keywords? or is it the header title tags that makes it work?

 

For example:

 

1. My Website <- How to make this possible?

    This site is .......

2. Amazon.com

    Books, etc......

 

Thank you.

[How can I create a fieldname having symbols in it like #?]

CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE (
E# NUMBER(7) NOT NULL,
EFNAME VARCHAR(20),
ELNAME VARCHAR(20)
);

 

When I run these sql statements in PhpMyAdmin it does not add E# but changes the EFNAME to EEFNAME. Thanks.

[How to decode the <br /> tags I receive in my email?]

I have search about htmlspecialchars_decode:

http://www.phpfreaks.com/phpmanual/page/function.htmlspecialchars-decode.html

 

But not sure how to implement them on sendmail functions.

 

	$subject = $params['subject'];
	$body = $params['body'];

	$replacements = array();
	$replacements['{sitename}'] = $mosConfig_sitename;
	$replacements['{name}'] = $invitor;
	foreach ( $replacements as $search => $replace ) {
		$subject = str_replace( $search, $replace, $subject );
		$body = str_replace( $search, $replace, $body );
	}		

	$mail = mosCreateMail( $mosConfig_mailfrom, $mosConfig_fromname, $subject, $body );
	$mail->AddAddress( $this->invitee_email );
	$mail->IsHTML( false );
	       

	if ( !$mail->Send() ) {
		$this->_error = 'mosMail error!';
		return false;
	}

 

The mails I received are having <br /> tags but html are actually being decoded. What I want is to decode those <br /> tags and make them disappear but maintains having the line space when I received my mails.

 

I'm thinking that I might need the strip tags php function? But how do I implement them on this $mail?

 

Thanks.

[What's the difference between the export SQL dump type used in PhpMyAdmin?]

In PhpMyAdmin we have these 3 export options to choose from: 1. Insert 2. Update and 3. Replace. Sound very easy to understand but how is it done exactly to the tables having an existing data?

 

For sure, I know the most common when we use INSERT Export type to an existing database, it will insert it all w/o errors that is if the tables being inserted to the new database does not have any identical table_names.

 

How about for the UPDATE and REPLACE? How will it react when we insert them to the new database if there are identical table_names?  ???

 

 

[How do we redirect to a specified page according to what country the user is?]

I don't know if this is already posted or not, not sure how/what term to search for.

 

I'm trying to make the root index.php to automatically redirect to the page if the user browsing the index.php is from a specified country.

 

Like for example:

US user browses index.php -> automatically redirected to /en/index.php

India user browses index.php -> automatically redirected to /in/index.hp

China user browses index.php -> automatically redirected to /cn/index.php

 

May I know how to do this?

Hello,

 

I'm trying to find a powerful javascript program that works like VB.Net  I've seen somewhere in the internet before about J++.Net or something, but I forgot the link to it. Does the J# in visual studio 2005 considered more powerful than any other javascripting programs?

[iFrame Question - How to position the page to the center?]

Hello,

 

I'm not sure whether this has/will have anything to do with PHP.

 

I'm trying to wrap a certain website and then make it load to the center position automatically when the page is loaded. I tried anchor but it doesn't seem to work. And the main menu of that website seems to align itself according to the width specified - but I need to the iframe to be 300 pixels.

 

<div align="center"><iframe src="www.phpfreaks.com#Summary" width="300"></iframe></div>

 

Or how to make them position to where their last scroll position is the next time when they click the links inside the iframe?

 

Thanks

[Does yahoo, gmail, or any other blocks mail coming from feedback form?]

About 2-3 within 5 minutes (not often). I guessed it filtered it as spam. Maybe I should test the form every 30 minutes lol.. Is there another way where we can test the feedback form?

[Does yahoo, gmail, or any other blocks mail coming from feedback form?]

I've been testing my feedback form sent to my yahoo mail. It was working fine at first, but after receiving more than 10 emails then I can't seem to receive anymore.  ???

 

BTW, I tried testing two recipients separating them with comma. But when I check my email accounts, only 1 received the feedback. Is there anything wrong with the source codes?

 

$recipient = "dummy@yahoo.com, dummy2@yahoo.com";
$subject = "Subject here";
$mailheaders = "From: My Form <name@mail.com> \r\n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: " .$_POST["email"];

 

Thanks.

[WTF... please help]

I got it now:  ;D

From php.net's FAQ, http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.addtopath

The php.ini - recommended file is like a quick-start configuration -- just overwrite the original php.ini file with this one.

You can use any text editor to create a php file. Just make sure it has a .php file extension, and that it is in Apache's public_html directory.

[WTF... please help]

We also need to make a version of php.ini available.  To do this, first add you php directory to your Windows PATH [color=red](Where is this windows path anyway?)[/color] Next, in the PHP installation directory, copy the php.ini - recommended file to php.ini [color=red](Did he mean that I should copy and paste that file into the same folder and just rename it to php.ini?)[/color].  After making these changes you must restart your apache server.

Now we're ready to check that PHP is working. In the htdocs directory in your Apache installation, create a file called phpinfo.php containing the following lines

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
[color=red]
How do I create a php file? Should I use notepad to create one?[/color] Thanks.
