[Php edit file]

What are you trying to do? Are you trying to change the statement '$age = 0' in a php file to the value of age passed in the form? If so you will need to use string literals to built the query to search for ie '$age = ' and the post value to built the replace ie '$age = ' . $_POST['age']; and then search and replace it in the file and then rewite the new code in the file.

 

$fileContents = file_get_contents('oldfile.php');

$newFile = str_replace('$age = 0;', '$age = ' . $_POST['age'], $fileContents);

file_put_contents('oldfile.php', $newFile);

[Does OpenID Work?]

Does OpenID work? I've been trying to get it to work to make logging in easier but it was to no avail. Usually i type in yahoo.com on other websites and it works but not here.

 

The error is the identifier did not return the proper results.

[Complex Regex]

I actually want to match the entire psp code from an html page. Say we have a page with html such as title, head, meta, content etc. I want it to pull those psp codes from the page and hopefully into an array, one code per array element. It matches the code some times and other times it just doesn't get a match.

[Complex Regex]

I created a regex to match psp codes from full to basic

 

#!!999999999 Monies

0x00000000 0x00000000

;this is a comment

0x00000000 0x00000000 ; Mod this

;mod this

 

#Hello

0x00000000 0x00000000

 

Here it is

 

 

(#!*.+[\r\n]*(??:;.+[\r\n]*)*(?:0x[a-f0-9]{8}\s0x[a-f0-9]{1,8}(?:\s*;.+)*[\r\n]*)*)+)

 

 

Can someone show me where i went wrong? Im pretty sure it's the newline as it checks for \r\n but im pertty sure on html pages its <br /> but still not positive. A Code can have one title and infinitly* many code lines followed by comment lines

[PHP SQL Problem]

Sorry, did not see

 

Flash Actionscript 3 (just showing one state)

 

Silly me.

[PHP SQL Problem]

It looks as though the state Washington is hard coded into the file. Make sure you are passing through the state when you click.

[A thankyou button on posts?]

We have a winner - PFMaBiSmAd's post

 

Facebook Like as an example - if someone likes a page they will click it if not then don't say anything. Kinda iterating the old saying (If you ain't got anything nice to say then don't say nothing).

 

I am in favor of a one sided rep system like a "Like" OR "Thanks" system and not a double sided one like ratings/thumbs up or down etc as those can cause trouble.

[Logo Idea]

Nope don't have an example, i just pictured it in my head lol and i thought it looked good Anyways thanks for reading my suggestion though.

[Logo Idea]

Take a look at the logo

 

 

See how the question mark (?) looks like a P? How about we use that as the first (P) in PHP.

 

Thanks

[Capturing A Repeated Group But Instead It Repeats A Captured Group]

Hello guys, i wrote a regex to capture a repeated group but instead it repeats the captured group only getting the last line matched.

 

I wanted it to match

 

_C0 Infinite LP (8000)

_L 0x110E6938 0x00001F40

_L 0x110E6940 0x00001F40

_L 0x110E6950 0x00001F40

_L 0x1162A528 0x00001F40

 

With name tags so after the PHP regex has run, codeTitle would contain the stuff after _C0 and codeAddresses would be an array with all the lines on the left such as 110E6938, 110E6940 etc and codeValues would be an array with all the stuff on the right. So far i have

 

((?P<gameCodes>(_C0\s(?P<codeName>.+)\r\n(_L\s0x(?P<codeAddress>[a-f0-9]{8})\s0x(?P<codeValue>[a-f0-9]{8})(?:\r\n)?)+)))+

 

but that doesn't work. It only gets the last line and sometimes it doesn't even do that can you guys help?

[Websites build using the Zend framework]

Didn't know PHPfreaks was made using the zend framework Any others?

[Websites build using the Zend framework]

Could you guys share some websites built using the zend framework? Doesn't have to be opensource, i want to check out loading times, see what the zend framework is capable of etc? The websites can be a total zend framework application or just a part of it but i perfer total website built using the zend framework.

 

In addition, some zend framework scripts could be helpful so i can see how it's used etc.

[Assign a variable with accessed methods]

It's better practice to have the function getName() to return private variables, as that name should be. Simply replace your echo with return and then it shall work. Then to  place the name in an array create a variable like $person = array('name' -> $name); then it shall work. Then to add other values to the array $person['age'] = $age etc.

 

On a side note since you are just beginning, you shouldn't head right in to OOP as it can be confusing if you don't know the basics.

[Wierd characters... really confused.]

You need to run urldecode() on the variable.

[2 Questions dealing with Mysql! Almost done please help!]

You would need to use javascript/ajax to perform the search and return the results in a div id. Assign some keywords to the catgory 1 select menu and when clicked on it searches the database for the keywords ie in your case glove, and returns the results in the div id you specify.

[find largest number from arrays in a loop]

<?php

$teams = mysql_query("
SELECT teamid
FROM team
WHERE ladderid = $ladder
ORDER BY teamid
");

while ($team = mysql_fetch_array($teams))
{
$gamesWon = mysql_query("
	SELECT matchid
	FROM matches
	WHERE winnerid = $team[teamid]
");
$gamesWonCount = mysql_num_rows($gamesWon);

$gamesLost = mysql_query("
	SELECT matchid
	FROM matches
	WHERE loserid = $team[teamid]
");
$gamesLostCount = mysql_num_rows($gamesLost);

echo "
	Games Won: $gamesWonCount,
	Games Lost: $gamesLostCount,
	ToTal Games Played: ($gamesWonCount + $gamesLostCount)
");
}

?>

[Can PHP query google]

In addition to using CURL you may want to check out Google's Search API - http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/documentation/

[Automatic trigger a form]

You could put this in the body tags of the page

 

 <body onload="submitform();">

 

and put the following function in javascript tags

 

function submitform()
{
  document.form.submit();
}

[Force display of text through API]

You could try something like ioncube but i don't suggest it. Most people including me will NEVER use encrypted scripts.

[Free Webhosts?]

Try blogspot if you want blogs.

[The story behind your username...]

holy crap it's true! if you add 317 to your current post count, you get... 456!!

 

That may be what's known as a 'special case' rather than universally applicable.

 

Whatever!! Being a creative genius, I decided to use my first name and the initial of my surname for my username here.  Quite a story!!

 

Same story with andy just i put an underscore between them.

[An API]

An api usually outputs the data as XML so you can have id, title etc as XML tags and the value of that inside the tag. You would need to use a mysql query to pull the data and then use DOM etc to insert the data into a tag and output it. Then the client site would use DOM to get the XML and parse it and output it to their visitors.

[Characters to keep out of text files]

Adding onto the SEO suggestion the above posted suggested, the regex i would use for a nice SEO friendly name will be

 

'#^[A-Z0-9._-]#si'

[/cODE]

 

Basically that allows any alphanumeric character, an underscore, a dash or a period.

 

You might want to add or remove constraints as you wish. Windows doesn't allow slashes, arrows, colon, asterick, question mark bar or quotation marks in file names so you might want to prevent files to be named this incase a user downloads the file and gets an error on his/her windows pc.

[Function Question]

Oh i thought you meant a normal variable created outside the function and you want access to it inside the function,

 

Session is just one of the superglobals and can be referenced in the globals array.

 

$GLOBALS['_SESSION']['user_id']

 

would contain the same as

 

$_SESSION['user_id']

 

can be used anywhere, ie in functions etc

[Function Question]

You can pass the value as an argument or globalize it.
