[Resizing a window with window.open]

Are you sure the content of "modify.php" is sufficient to need scroll bars?

[limit data from array]

this works....

$data["content"]="a load of stuff a load of stuff a load of stuff a load of stuff a load of stuff a load of stuff "; 
  // first find the first space after 40 characters, this should be the end of a word
$offset =strpos ( $data["content"], " " ,40) ;
//then put into variable
$shorter_list = substr ($data["content"],0,$offset);
//add the trailing dots
$shorter_list.="....";
echo $shorter_list;

 

first echo $data["content"] and make sure it has content

[limit data from array]

If you don't know how to echo variables I suggest you read some basic PHP Tutorials

[limit data from array]

To choose the first 40 characters might chop a word in half, I think better to display whole word.

// first find the first space after 40 characters, this should be the end of a word
$offset =strpos ( $data["content"], " " ,40) ;
//then put into variable
$shorter_list = substr ($data["content"],0,$offset);
//add the trailing dots
$shorter_list.="....";

[PHP Form - Keeping Values]

change

 

    if(isset($_GET["strSale"]))

 

to

 

    if(isset($_GET["sale"]))

 

It should then work

Ye I just noticed that! It is a bit late at night here!

[How to list this string?]

  $string = '1,2,3,4,5,6,7';

[Insert/Replace help]

As jl5501 pointed out, you are not actually reading the file....try

mysql_connect ("localhost","username","password"); 
mysql_select_db ("database_name"); 
// Path to the data file 
$path="test.txt"; 

// Get the site of the file 
$filesize=filesize($path); 
// Open file, read its data and close it 
$filenum=fopen($path,"r"); 

$contents = fread($filenum, filesize($filesize));
fclose($filenum); 

$bits=explode(",",$contents);
$arrlen = count($bits);

// Listing the array inside a loop, adding it to the database and echo about it. 
for($i=0; $i<$arrlen ; $i++){

$sql_insert = mysql_query("REPLACE INTO case_numbers (casenumber,casename) VALUES ('$bits[0]','$bits[1]'");

$result = mysql_query ($sql_insert); 
// reports an error if insert fails. 
if (!$result)echo mysql_error(); 
}
// All done, let's go home! 
echo "All rows imported successfully!";

not quite right but in a hurry to go out......one correction

if(empty($state))echo $select;

 

[[SOLVED] return stored state in dropdown menu on user update page]

It's not a PHP problem it's an HTML problem:

 

$select = "selelected = \"selected\" ";

print '<td width="160"><p align="right">State</td>';
print '<td width="600"><p align="left"><select name="state">';
print '<option value="0" ';
if(empty($state)echo $select;
print '>Select Your State</option>';
print '<option value="AL" ';
if($state=="AL")echo $selec;
print'>Alabama</option>';
print '<option value="AS" ;
$state=="AL")echo $selec;
>American Samoa</option>';
print '<option value="AK" ';

$state=="AK")echo $selec;
print'>Alaska</option>';

 

etc.....

 

 

 

[installation problem with php]

it's a while since I set my laptop up (vista=nightmare) but I do remember:

in httpd.conf

 

line 117 reads: LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"

 

line 119 reads:AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

 

and you must also:

# configure the path to php.ini

PHPIniDir "C:/php"

 

line 406 is:

    ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/"

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php5

    Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe"

    SetEnv PHPRC "C:/php"

 

check those

 

[Update records - mysql]

I'd do it like this, make the cd list the link and have the relevant cd in query string:

 

<?php

    $Row = mysqli_fetch_row($QueryResult);

do {

  echo "<table width='100%' border='1'>";

  echo "<tr><th>CD Type</th><th>CD Name</th><th>Price</th><th>Artist</th></tr>";

  echo "<tr><td>{$Row[0]}</td>";

  echo "<td><a href=\"update.php?cd=$Row[1]\">{$Row[1]}</a></td>";

  echo "<td>{$Row[2]}</td>";

  echo "<td>{$Row[3]}</td></tr>";

 

  echo '<a href="index.html"> Delete</a>';

  $Row = mysqli_fetch_row($QueryResult); 

} while($Row);

?>

[Write to XML]

  $gameid=str_replace("search"," & # 8 4 8 2 ;",$gameid); // search is what ever you have in the databse for tm and thats why I put in the spaces

[Write to XML]

The tm symbol is & # 8 4 8 2 (without the spaces) perhaps you could do a replace:

 

  $gameid=str_replace("search","™",$gameid); // search is what ever you have in the databse for tm

[Results as columns]

while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result))

              {     

                  echo "<tr align='center'><td>";

                  echo $row->KEGG_ID;

                  echo "</td><td>";

                  echo $row->Gene_Name;

                  echo "</td><td>";

                  echo $row->Uniprot_ID;

                  echo "</td><td>";

                 

              }

 

 

Try:

while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result))

              {     

                  echo "<tr align='center'><td>";

                  echo $row->KEGG_ID;

                  echo "</td><td>";

                  echo $row->Gene_Name;

                  echo "</td><td>";

                  echo $row->Uniprot_ID;

                  echo "</td></tr>";

                 

              }

[[SOLVED] Match any specified items in an array]

[What can i do to validate my xml feeds ?]

I think that you are mistaken about which are the 'bad' characters.

 

This is a line 338 taken from the validator"<description>please visit site<![CDATA[Very clean 2005 Honda Civic DX(Value Package), Low miles â\x80\x93 31,300, Auto Trans, Blue,"

 

'\x80' is the euro symbol

I'm not sure what \x93 is but you can tell from the original code so you need to do a string replace i.e.

 

$bad=array("\x80","\x93");
$good=array("€","?????");
$xml=str_replace($bad,$good,$xml);

 

Also "please visit site" needs to be inside the cdata tags.

[Can I make Outlook pop up with a generated email containing MySQL query results?]

The code below works

 

<?php
$hello ="a string";
echo "<a href=\"mailto:somebody@address.co.uk?Subject=Report&Body=" . $hello . "\">email</a>";
?>

 

So why not try creating the string variable '$hello' outside of the mail bit?

$hello=email_table($numresults);

 

Hope this helps.....

I think Corbins answer is very good however if you don't have php 5.1

 

I'd do this....

/*  
  0=Sunday
  1=Monday
  2=Tuesday
  3=Wednesday
  4=Thursday
  5=Friday
  6=Saturday
  */
  
  $today=date("w");
  
  
  if(($today==1 && $number_of_days < 5)|| ($today==2 && $number_of_days < 4)||($today==3 && $number_of_days < 3)||($today==4 && $number_of_days < 2)){
  
$delivery_date=mktime($hour, $minute, $second, $month, $day+$number_of_days, $year);     
      
  }else{
   //add 2days for every weekend     
    $weekends=floor($number_of_days/7)*2;
    $total_days=$number_of_days+$weekends;
    $delivery_date=mktime($hour, $minute, $second, $month, $day+$total_days, $year);

[PHP Captchas]

I use a different method that seems to work. To stop botts sending forms, I have (for example) an email form field called antibott. So the variable $antibott hold the users email. I also have a form text field called 'email'. This is in a separate div Using CSS I make this div invisible so humans can't see it!. Therefore if the variable $email is NOT empty the form was filled in by a bott and the form redirects to a page that only botts see!
