[What's wrong with this code?]

Just out of curiosity,

 

How does

<?php
$file = 'filename.php';
if (isset($_POST['number']) && $_POST['number'] == '1')
{    
include($file);
}
?>

 

And

<?php    
$a = '2';    
if($_POST['number']==1){echo $a;}  
?>

 

do what you want?  They perform completely different actions?

[Filepaths not working]

Hi

 

I've a directory structure which is root/web/dir1/dir2/dir3/sitefiles.php and root/tmp/tempfile.jpg

 

Within sitefiles.php I have greated an image file and saved it successfully as tempfile.jpg.

 

However, when I then try to call it back and include it in an HTML output from another script within dir3, I get an error saying it can't be found.  I have used exactly the same file path and I'm completely stumped as to why it's falling over.  Any ideas?

 

 

[What's wrong with this code?]

At first glance you have a missing single quote when you define $A

 

And secondly, if you are using an include, you should be including a filename.

 

include('foo.php');

[FTP issues]

Hi

 

I'm desperately trying to get an FTP sorted, however for some reason I cannot write to the ftp file.  The file gets set up and saved correctly with the right permissions, however when I come to write to it I cannot get it to work.  I've tried fputs and fwrite but I'm getting nowhere fast

<?php

if($login){
echo "connected";

//make directory
@ftp_mkdir($ftpstream,'tmp/test');

// make temp file
$temp=tmpfile();

//upload temp file
@ftp_fput($ftpstream,'tmp/promo.txt',$temp, FTP_ASCII);

//make file writable
ftp_site($ftpstream,"CHMOD 0777 tmp/promo.txt");

//write to file
$fp=fopen('tmp/promo.txt','w');
fwrite($fp,"hello");
fclose($fp);



}
else{
echo"failed";
}

//Close connection

ftp_close($ftpstream);

?>

As mentioned, this connects fine, so there is nothing wrong with $login.  I have omitted this for my own security.

[Getting the info I need?]

Hi All

 

I'm absolutely cr@p at regex and to be quite honest I'm also being a bit lazy here as I'm on a short timescale and haven't got hours to read through loads of tutorials at the moment.  (I will be doing soon though coz it's not fair on you guys out there)

 

I have a huge text file which I need to search through and find the statement REGUK01.  This will only ever appear once in the file. before this is 2 new lines and then a percentage.  I need to be able to pull this particular percentage out.  eg, it's 69.1% this time, however this changes on a daily basis and I receive a new text file every day.

 

Any thoughts / ideas / help?

[Execuatble php file]

I've sorted it cheers.

 

I had to put an absolute path in to the php.exe file as the command prompt was running from witihin a system folder rather than from where the bat file was saved.

 

Cheers for the help

[Execuatble php file]

I've tried this, and it runs fine when double clicked.

 

However, I am trying to set it up as a rule in Outlook to perform an action when I receive an email each day.  There is an error appearing in the command window but it pops up and closes so quick that I have no idea what the issue is.

 

Any ideas how I can either slow it down, keep the window open or another method?

[Execuatble php file]

Hi all

 

I am trying to automate a process and need to know if it is possible to create an exe file which will run a php file for me.

 

I've had a bit of a google, but as I don't understand command line stuff, I'll struggling to mae head nor tail of it.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Please posty your code

[how to skip long weekend]

I think before anyone even thinks about replying to this you'll need to tidy your post up and make your code readable.

 

Put some linebreaks and some whitespace in so we can see what's going on.

[help with search query criteria logic]

Ok, you seem to be over complicating this by passing an array to your function.  You'd be better to just pass it as 2 variables.

 

eg

function SearchResults($category, $state){
//
//
//
//
//
//
//
}

 

 

 

 

[help with search query criteria logic]

You need to do the following

 

if(strlen($criteria)) {	    
$sql    = "SELECT * FROM `tbl` AS s  WHERE ".$criteria;
// insert the next line to help you debug
echo $sql;

$rs     = executeSql($sql); 	    
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)) {		
$searchdetails[] = $row;	    
}	
}	
return $searchdetails;    
}	

 

Does the SELECT statement read as you expect it to? 

Is this why you are not getting the information as you would expect?

 

Try this, and then post the SELECT statement you see.  This will then indicate where your error could be.

[help with search query criteria logic]

Put some sort of test into your script which will echo out the SELECT statement which you are running.

 

See if you can fathom where the error is coming from after doing that, if not just post it on here and I'll have another look

[OOP tutorial]

Hi

 

Does anyone know of a beginners OOP tutorial out there?

 

I've tried Google, but I tend to get lost on page 2 of the majority of stuff I find.

[help with search query criteria logic]

Change the OR statements to AND.

 

Therefore you will only SELECT if all critera are true.  With OR it will select as long as one out of the criteria are true.

[Sorting multidimensional arrays]

I'd say a way to make this easier would be to have all the data in a DB then select from it and use ORDER BY

I use EditPlus,

 

Just the colour coding and the brace highlighting helps me spot errors.  No nasty pop-ups and any autocompletions can be switched off if not required.
