    Help on php server root and doc root

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Dear guys,

     

    I have a code that I always use on hosts and it works but is not working now

     

    The code is:

     

    The file is functions.php

     

     

    // setting up the web root and server root for
// this application
$thisFile = str_replace('\\', '/', __FILE__);
$docRoot = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

$webRoot  = str_replace(array($docRoot, 'functions.php'), '', $thisFile);
$srvRoot  = str_replace('functions.php', '', $thisFile); 

define('WEB_ROOT', $webRoot);
define('SRV_ROOT', $srvRoot);

     

    All the web files are in the root folder lifeforea

     

    and the admin files are in the lifeforea folder ir lifeforeastafrica/admin

     

    However, when I try to access www.lifeforeastafrica/admin to login into the admoin area, I get the folloeing error:

     

    Not Found

     

    The requested URL /mnt/local/admin/login.php was not found on this server.

     

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

     

    Someone help on how I should set my doc and server roots please.....

    [SOLVED] CMS and template customisation help

    in Applications

    Posted

    Hi guys? I need help and guidance on how to deal with CMS and templates: Joomla in particular

    Either to

    Use any template in joomla,that is not necessarily a joomla-based template.

     

    Or

     

    Come up with my own engine that I can use on any template.

     

    I believe  the above 2 are more or less the same.

     

    Any guidance, tools or sources?

    [SOLVED] Ineed help on MySQL/PHP calculation

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Im using mysql_fetch_array() and my query is;

     

    $sql = "SELECT SUM(Quantity *Value) FROM stocktable AS TOTAL";

    $result = dbQuery($sql);

     

    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

    {

    $totalvalue = $row["SUM(Quantity*Value)"];

    }

     

    Also,I have noticed one may omit the phrase "as total" from the sql.

     

    Besides that,what could be the issue?

    Hi guys.

     

    I need to achieve a certain result through PHP and MySQL maths functions.

     

    I have a tableasfollows

     

    ItemID, ProductName, Quantity, Value

     

    I can get the total quantity.

     

    I need to get the total value. This requires me to get the total sum of the product of quantity and Value

     

    something like SUM(Quantity*Value)

     

    if I have 3 records as follows:

     

    ItemID ProductName Quantity Value

    1                Fruits        3        100

    2                Books        5        200

    3                Machines    2        500

     

    The total value of fruits is 300, books 1000 and machines 1000. Total value of all is 2300.

     

    How do I achieve this (2300) in SQL and PHP?

     

    ie 3 * 100

      5 * 200

      2 * 500

     

     

    I hope I'm clear

    body {

    background: #580000 url(images/header_bg.jpg) repeat-x;

    font: 14px, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

    overflow-x: hidden;

    }

    try putting variables lie you did on the select

     

    $loginres = mysql_query($query);
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($loginres);

     

    else, tell us what error(s) you get.

    If it is a blank page,

     

    check if your form(s) and code have the same variables, ie $_GET or $_POST and/or your database table names
