[Multiple mySQLi calls]

Probably because you are closing the connection before hand

[Email form not working on new server]

it's because you're using globals.  

Globals are removed in PHP as of version 5.4, and they were deprecated in 5.3.

[Does anyone use phpstorm for their IDE]

I just recently started using it.  It is a massive IDE, and so chock full of shortcuts and features that you'd need Raymond Babbitt on hand to remember them all.

I also just love the fact that it also has an embedded database administrator panel.  No need to alt+tab between phpmyadmin and such.

Cheers fastsol!  Happy I just became a "Guru" Day.

[server time?]

It's installed but insists on being 19-21 minutes behind.

[server time?]

It seems as though the actual server is out of sync..

[server time?]

Weird.. I  get this.

[PHP Email Sends to Recipient Multiple Times]

Perhaps it isn't sending multiple emails, but rather, the form submit button is being clicked multiple times.

Do you notify the user after the form has sent successfully?  If you don't, then the problem is the UIX.

[How I nomalize my this database design?]

@barand do you manually create those ascii chart/tables for db schemas or do you have some tool that does it?

 

I always wondered the same thing

 

I do it the laborious way. I have often thought of creating a tool (in fact every time I create a new diagram)

 

Damn, that's a lot of work.  You must just be so used to it that you write it without thinking though.

[Multinational Array]

foreach(Array as $key => $val) {

     if (in_array('Thumbnail', $val['Purposes']) {

        echo $val['url'] . "
\n";

     } else continue;

}

I hear nothing but good things about VIM.  Maybe that's the way you should go.

Congratulations to our new guru, QuickOldCar.  Welcome aboard, decoder ring's in the mail; you must be there waiting near the mailbox when the delivery truck arrives or it self destructs.

[Spam filter for forum]

Moderation of first-time posts perhaps?

 

That sounds like a PITA, but there is indeed a setting for it

 

Moderate content of everyone in this group?

YesNo   until   approved posts days since joining 

Enter 0 or leave blank in second field to not limit by days/posts

[Redirect to different url depending on values of 2 dropdowns]

Instead of oudersessieouder1 and oudersessieouder2

Just create an array by naming the select tags this:

 

<select name='oudersessieouder[]' ....>

 

Then you can just count how many values are in oudersessieouder

 

 

if( oudersessieouder1.length == 1 ) open 1 parent page
else if ( oudersessieouder1.length == 2) open 2 parent page

[£ sign no display! Please Help!]

Use your datatypes the correct way.  Prices shouldn't be stored as a string, it will bite you in the ass in the future because you won't be able to order your queries correctly, much less query them correctly.  What happens when you want to search a range of prices?  You can't use the greater than less than symbols for strings, as far as I know.

 

Anyway, the £ symbol has no purpose in a price column.  You can add that when you pull it out of the database.

SELECT CONCAT('£', payRates) as payRates FROM yourTable

 

Save yourself the frustration and use your datatypes.  It's so worth it!

[Create a hyperlink <a> that has multiple targets]

Give the anchor tag an id

 

 

<a id='threelinks' href='#'>Open three tabs</a>

 

then use jQuery (or Javascript )

 

 

$("a#threelinks").on('click', function() {
 
     window.open('page1.php', 'first page');
     window.open('page2.php', 'secondpage');
     window.open('page3.php', 'third page');
     return false;
 
});

[Need advice on new website design.]

Buy a theme from http://themeforest.net, that's the most straightforward way to start instead of creating a look from scratch.  Then you can get to the nitty gritty and create your graphics and programming.

[HOW TO REDUCE NAME TO INITIAL...]

If you only need the first character of a string there is no reason to use substr, when you can easily access that first character directly, as if it were an array.

$myString = "abcdefg";
echo $myString[0];  //will echo ==> a

[IRC is back.]

I just started IRC back up again.  Hopefully we're stable from now on.  Hardware has been moved.  Time will tell.

[import csv file into mysql with file path in a textbox]

Look at str_getcsv()

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);


$file="spreadsheet-file.csv";
$csv= file_get_contents($file);


$array = array_map("str_getcsv", explode("\n", $csv));


echo "<pre>", print_r($array), "</pre>";


$tdata = null;
foreach($array as $k=>$v) {
   $tdata[$k][] = $v;
}
echo  "<pre>", print_r($tdata), "</pre>";
