Oops! somehow through trial and error i got it working. Thanks.

Hi guys, I stored the path of a file in a database and the file in a folder, now i want users to click on a link and be able to download the file. I tried: echo " Download <a href=".$file_path." download>Here</a>"; ?> Didnt work, just took me to the path of the image. What i want is a link and when clicked the download window pops out. Thanks

The dear username shouldnt be of any worries to you and that isnt my problem either. my problem is getting the script to send just one mail containing all the bills. just so you know: it is dear username which translates to: dear myemailaddress.com

I really do not understand why you dont understand me. I said the script is to send just a mail with the bills due in a table. All the bills should be tabulated. I tried the script manually but its sending multiple mails i.e if a customer has 4 bills, it sends 4 different mail but that is not what i want, all i want is a single mail to be sent to the customer detailing the bill details in a table. If you can help, please do help and lets get it over with. Below is my whole script: $bill_status = "OVERDUE"; $st = $pdo->prepare("SELECT *, DATEDIFF(NOW(), due_date) AS days_diff FROM bills LEFT JOIN login_details ON bills.user_id = login_details.user_id WHERE bills.bill_status = '$bill_status'"); $st->execute(); $row_sent = $st->rowCount(); //$message = htmlspecialchars($mess); $mail = new PHPMailer; //$mail->SMTPDebug = 3; // Enable verbose debug output $mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP $mail->Host = 'localhost'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers $mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication $mail->Username = '[email protected]'; // SMTP username $mail->Password = 'pasword'; // SMTP password $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted $mail->Port = 465; // TCP port to connect to $mail->From = '[email protected]'; $mail->FromName = 'Coy Name'; $mail->WordWrap = 587; // Set word wrap to 50 characters $mail->AddEmbeddedImage("../img/logo.png", "logo"); $mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML $mail->Subject = 'Notice'; while($rows = $st->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){ $username = $rows['username']; $message= " <div class='messages'> <h3><img src='cid:my_logo'> </h3> <br> <div style='font-size:15px;'>Email Notification on Bill Due for Payment </h4> <p>Dear: $username</p> <p> The following bills are due for payment: </p> <table width='80%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'> <tr style='font-weight:bold;'> <td>Trans Ref</td> <td>Due Date</td> <td>Days Overdue</td> <td>Service Provider</td> <td>Service Type</td> <td>Amount Paid</td> <td>Bill Status</td> <td>Recurring</td> </tr> <h3>Yours<br> Coy Name</h3> "; $message .= " <tr>"; $message .= " <td>".$rows['trans_ref']."</td>"; $message .= " <td>".$rows['due_date']."</td>"; $message .= " <td>".$rows['days_diff']."</td>"; $message .= " <td>".$rows['service_provider']."</td>"; $message .= " <td>".$rows['service_type']."</td>"; $message .= " <td>".$rows['amount_paid']."</td>"; $message .= " <td>".$rows['bill_status']."</td>"; $message .= " <td>".$rows['recurring']."</td>"; $message .= " </tr>"; $mail->addAddress($username); // Add a recipient $mail->Body = $message; $mail->send(); $mail->ClearAddresses(); }

1. yes. the script is suppose to send all the bills a user has 2. this is where i have my error reporting 3. this is all the code there is or is it incomplete? 4. i said the username is the email and not name error_reporting(0); $database='dbname'; $user='username'; $password='password.'; $dsn="mysql:host=localhost;dbname=$database"; try { $pdo = new PDO($dsn,$user,$password); } catch(PDOException $e) { die ('Failed to connect'); } thanks

This is the Exact scrpt $stmt=$pdo->prepare("SELECT *, DATEDIFF(NOW(), due_date) AS days_diff FROM bills LEFT JOIN login_details ON bills.user_id = login_details.user_id WHERE xbp_bills.bill_status = 'OVERDUE'"); $stmt->execute(); //$message = htmlspecialchars($mess); $mail = new PHPMailer; //$mail->SMTPDebug = 3; // Enable verbose debug output $mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP $mail->Host = 'localhost'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers $mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication $mail->Username = '[email protected]'; // SMTP username $mail->Password = 'password'; // SMTP password $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted $mail->Port = 465; // TCP port to connect to $mail->From = 'no_reply@noreply'; $mail->FromName = 'Bill Sender'; $mail->WordWrap = 587; // Set word wrap to 50 characters $mail->AddEmbeddedImage("../img/logo.png", "logo"); $mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML $mail->Subject = 'Notification on Bill Overdue for Payment'; while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) { $user_email = $row['username']; $trans_ref = $row['trans_ref'];; $due_date = $row['due_date']; $days_diff = $row['days_diff']; $service_provider = ucwords($row['service_provider']); $service_type = ucwords($row['service_type']); $amount_paid = number_format($row['amount_paid'],2); $bill_status = $row['bill_status']; $message = " <div class='messages'> <h3><img src='cid:my_logo'> </h3> <br> <div style='font-size:15px;'>Email Notification on Bill Overdue for Payment </h4> <p>Dear: $user_email</p> <p> The following bills are overdue for payment: </p> <table width='80%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'> <tr style='font-weight:bold;'> <td>Service Provider</td> <td>Services</td> <td>Amount Due</td> <td>Due Date</td> <td>Overdue Days</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>$service_provider</td> <td>$service_type</td> <td>$amount_paid</td> <td>$due_date</td> <td>$days_diff</td> <td>Click to Pay</td> </tr> </table> <h3>Yours<br> Team Mate</h3> "; $mail->addAddress($user_email); // Add a recipient $mail->Body = $message; $mail->send(); $mail->ClearAddresses(); }

i have ran the script and it worked fine but wont run as a cron.

This is not the final script. My final script is: $stmt = $pdo->query("SELECT *, DATEDIFF(due_date, NOW()) AS days_diff FROM xbp_bills WHERE bill_status = '$bill_status' AND CURDATE() BETWEEN due_date - INTERVAL reminder DAY AND due_date "); $stmt->execute(); $mail = new PHPMailer; //$mail->SMTPDebug = 3; $mail->isSMTP(); $mail->Host = 'localhost'; $mail->SMTPAuth = true; $mail->Username = '[email protected]'; $mail->Password = 'password.'; $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; $mail->Port = 465; $mail->From = '[email protected]'; $mail->FromName = 'Coy Sender'; $mail->WordWrap = 587; $mail->AddEmbeddedImage("../img/logo.png", "my_logo"); $mail->isHTML(true); $mail->Subject = 'Notification'; while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) { $email= $row['email']; $due_date = $row['due_date']; $service_provider = ucwords($row['service_provider']); $service_type = ucwords($row['service_type']); $bill_status = $row['bill_status']; $message = " This is a reminder "; $mail->addAddress($email); $mail->Body = $message; $mail->send(); $mail->ClearAddresses(); }

hello this is what i ended up with. The problem now is that the cron wont send? $stmt = $pdo->query("SELECT *, DATEDIFF(due_date, NOW()) AS days_diff FROM xbp_bills WHERE bill_status = '$bill_status' AND CURDATE() BETWEEN due_date - INTERVAL reminder DAY AND due_date "); $stmt->execute(); while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) { $due_date = $row['due_date']; $service_provider = ucwords($row['service_provider']); $service_type = ucwords($row['service_type']); $bill_status = $row['bill_status']; }

... INTERVAL 10 DAY AND eventdate? Is it complete?

Hi, I have an application where during registration a user will choose when they want to be reminded of an event. For instance the event lets say will start on 2017-02-02 and i scheduled it on 2016-12-30 and i want to be reminded everyday from 10days to the event date(2017-02-02). How do i go about it? I need idea as to know how to go about it. I dont know if cron will be good. Thanks

I think i agree with you. I have changed the table to a singe table with an identifier. I created two tables cos of an issue but i have been able to sail pass that now. thanks

Hello guys, I'm try to sum rows in a UNION but having a hard time about it $stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT due_date, SUM(amount_paid) FROM ( SELECT due_date, amount_paid FROM table1 union all SELECT due_date, amount_paid FROM table2 UNION ALL )x GROUP BY MONTH"); $stmt->execute(); while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) { echo $row['x']; thanks

Thanks all. UNION did the magic. Credit to r937 of devshed. i dunno if posting the link to the solved issue is prohibited cos i don't want go against the laws of the forum.

Thanks. if you look at table A and table B, i used a JOIN to sum up the values and GROUP them based on the user name and it worked fine. i just want to have the SUMs in one table (table C) instead of two tables (A & B). maybe UNION could do it, can u pls come up with an example on UNION? Thanks

thanks for the tips. my problem is just table c. i guess what they all have in common is the username and so far all the joins work. the database is been designed already like this but with time will make changes. the case on ground now is to have them together. thanks

No it doesnt. The result is different from what is expected.

Hello guys. I’m having trouble understanding JOIN and GROUP. I have two tables that I want to merge into one but when I try it, the result is not what is expected and I don’t know where I’m wrong.

Thanks a zillion dozen times.

Hello all. I dont know how to go about this. I have a table (Transactions) that contains transactions of users. Another table (Confirmed) contains details of every confirmed user. I want to do a select statement that will display all the confirmed user with only the last of their transaction. But so far all it does is replicate the user and their date of transaction and that is not what i want. My intention is to get something like: Firstname Surname Date Registered Last Transaction andrews john 12-12-2014 10-10-2015 doe andy 12-12-2010 12-12-2014 But i'm getting something like: Firstname Surname Date Registered Last Transaction andrews john 12-12-2014 10-10-2015 andrews john 12-12-2014 10-11-2015 doe andy 12-12-2010 12-12-2014 doe andy 12-12-2010 01-12-2014 doe andy 12-12-2010 12-12-2013 Thanks $stm=$pdo->query("select * from confirmed left join transaction on confirmed.user_id = transaction.user_id where confirmed.status='confirmed' order by date"); while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) { echo $row['firstname']; echo $row['surname']; echo $row['regDate']; echo $row['lastTrans']; }

the cron owner has write permissions. was wondering maybe cron does not understand/cannot read sub-directory structure?
