[Form action to same page]

If you leave the form action totally off (not just blank) it will also submit to itself.

<form method="post">

progress probably needs quotes...it's a string, correct?

$progressupdate = DB::getInstance()->insert(progress, array(

[2D array display error: undefined offset]

Hard to tell exactly without seeing an example of your array.

[foreach to create dropdown list problem]

It looks like it should work, if your first example works. What's not working about it? Do you close the </select> tag after the options are created in the loop?

[Function stops working after div reload (DOM?)]

By having the onclick code executed again when after the new dom elements are retrieved. It would be best to turn that into a function so you don't have to repeat the same code 2x.

[Function stops working after div reload (DOM?)]

It looks like in the onComplete event of this:

$('div#stream').delay( 500 ).load(location.href + " #stream");

You'd have to retrigger all of this so that the onClick event gets assigned to the new DOM elements you are adding:

$('.likestatusclass').click(function(x){
var lb = $(this).attr('id');

$.post('../action/likestatus.php',{statusid:lb},function(l){

alert(l)
alert(lb)
});
});

[Function stops working after div reload (DOM?)]

This answer assumes you are using javascript/ajax to retrieve data and display it.

 

Let's say you assign a click event to an anchor. Clicking on the anchor sends an ajax request to the server and then display some HTML that was retrieved. That new HTML is now IN THE DOM (or you wouldn't see it). However, the javascript click event that was assigned BEFORE the new HTML was retrieved knows nothing about that new HTML since it wasn't present when the page was loaded  and the js originally assigned, therefore the HTML couldn't have been assigned any js function. So the js has to be reapplied to the new elements so it can bind the events to them. Hope that makes some sense.

[T_String Error]

In addition to the 2 unnecessary php open tags, you have unclosed quotes in some variables, and some missing semicolons at the end of statements.

[Zipped Folder Attachment]

Upload File

File gets saved in filesystem (files go on filesystem, data goes in database)

Save path to file (including filename) in database along with the user ID of the person who can access it

When a user is on system, check database using their ID and see if there are any files for them

If so, provide link to user to download based on path saved in database

User clicks link, system sends file

Delete file and remove entry from database, if applicable.

[PHP Login System Help]

On the page they are redirected to, do you start the session at the top of the code? Anywhere session is used it needs session_start() at the top of the page, and your authentication system is using sessions.

[Better way of sorting data]

That would really depend on how your shopping cart/app is layed out. I only gave you an example for multiple colors to keep it short as it would apply to most of the other shoe metadata you described

[Better way of sorting data]

A short example:

 

Shoes:

-ID

-Name

 

Colors:

-ID

-Name

 

Shoe_colors

-ID

-Shoe_ID

-Color_id

 

so let's say you had:

Shoes:

ID = 1, Name = 'Nike Free'

 

Colors

ID = 1, Name = 'Grey'

ID = 2, Name = 'Yellow'

 

Shoe_colors:

ID = 1, Shoe_id = 1, Color_id = 1

ID = 2, Shoe_id = 1, Color_id = 2

 

So you have Nike Free available in Grey and Yellow

 

You'd use a JOIN to get all data in a single query

[Better way of sorting data]

This is a problem with databases that aren't normalized. There shouldn't be any comma separated values in a single column really. Ideally you'd have a table that stored the colors with a reference ID back to whatever is using it.

[Error and success messages stored in SESSION]

however, I don't see you using session_start() at the beginning of any of those pages

[onClick function: alert id = 'undefined']

But it would be much better to not use inline javascript anyway. I'd give your span a special class, and then create a click event using that.

<span class="specialClass" id="my-id">some span</span>
<span class="specialClass" id="different-id">some other span</span>

$('.specialClass').click(function(e){
  var id = $(this).attr('id');
  alert(id);
});

[onClick function: alert id = 'undefined']

Your function has no clue what "this" is. you'd need to pass "this" to your function.

[Error and success messages stored in SESSION]

Yes, that's appropriate especially if you are redirecting.

[Email Contact form CODE // please help]

strip it down to the basics and test. Can you send a regular email like with:

mail('abcd@abcd.com', 'test email subject', 'test email body', 'FROM: root@your_server.tld');

root@your_server.tld should be your actual domain. If it's not it most likely will be rejected by the receiving server as the domains won't match.

[Getting Internal Server Error on Submit]

Depends, are you submitting the form using GET or POST? Your earlier code indicated $_POST but now you are trying to access $_GET

[ssl not in browser's address bar]

Well, I'd be concerned about a site that didn't use, or enforce, SSL on a login page or any other page with sensitive information. It means it's not being encrypted and the data can be sniffed by any of the number of servers that the request is being passed through (it doesn't just go from your PC straight to the end site...it usually passes through many servers on the way).

[ssl not in browser's address bar]

Is this a site you are creating or some other site you are visiting? If it's one you are creating, you should check if SSL is enabled and if not, redirect to the SSL version of the page (https://)

 

You can google "php detect ssl" for some ways how

[ssl not in browser's address bar]

What do you mean, "no warning"?? You shouldn't get a warning. If you do something is set up wrong, or the cert is self-signed or invalid.

[PHP mail issue]

How many different email providers have you tried sending email to, like to gmail, yahoo, some other ISP? Each one will have their own criteria for spam filters, etc. Some might go through immediately, some might get delayed. It could also have to do with the reputation of the IP that you are sending the email from (host).

[Insert calculated value to mysql table]

You are running everything through htmlentities() and mysql_real_escape_string() twice for each value. Once when you retrieve from $_POST and the other in your payrollData() function. Why? Just do it once, and you should only run through mysql_real_escape_string() when you are actually going to insert them in the db since it potentially alters the value.

[Increment value based on condition]

Well this isn't going to work:

while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
  $coy = $row['company'];
}
if(strcmp($coy, $company) == 0){

$coy will always = the very last entry of the result since you are overwriting the value $coy on each loop, so you are only comparing one item here instead of all of them from the result.

 

You'd probably want to be making $coy an array and putting the values in it, and then checking to see if the new value is in_array() (not strcmp()).

 

There is also no use in adding 0 to a column. That doesn't change a value so why do it? It just takes up unnecessary resources. Only increment the column by one if the provider is new (doesn't exist in the array)

while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
{
  //put existing values into an array
  $coy[] = $row['company'];
}

//Check to see if this is a new entry (so it wouldn't be in the array if it was new)
if ( ! in_array($company, $coy))
{
  //run query to increment counter by 1
}
