the requirements are the following for the news.class.php:

1. In index page, it must display 5 contents per page and sorted in

descending oder base on submitDate of the content.

2. And the index page, must contain paging/ pagination at the lower

right portion

here are the codes:

news.class.php

<?php
class news{
var $newsDir = "news";
var $newsList;
var $newsCount = -1;
function getNewsList( ){
$this->newslist = array();
if ($handle = @opendir($this- >newsDir) ) {
while ($file = readdir($handle) ) {
if (!is_dir($file) ) {
$this->newsList[ ] = $file;
}
}
}
rsort($this- >newsList) ;
return $this->newsList;
}
function getNewsCount( ){
}
function displayNews( ){
$list = $this->getNewsList( );
echo "<table class='newsList' >";
foreach($list as $value){
$newsData = file($this-
>newsDir.DIRECTORY_ SEPARATOR. $value);
$newsTitle = $newsData[0] ;
$submitDate = $newsData[1] ;
unset($newsData[ '0']);
unset($newsData[ '1']);
$newsContent = "";
foreach($newsData as $value){
$newsContent. =$value;
}
echo "<tr><th align='left' >$newsTitle< /th>";
echo "<tr><td 
colspan='2'> ".$newsContent. "<br/><td/ ></tr>";
echo "<th 
class='right' >$submitDate< /th></tr> ";
}
}
function displayAddForm( ){
?>
<script language="javascrip t" type="text/javascri pt" 
src="js/tiny_ mce.js">< /script>
<script language="javascrip t" type="text/javascri pt">
tinyMCE.init( {
mode : "textareas",
theme : "advanced",
theme_advanced_ buttons3 : "",
theme_advanced_ toolbar_align : "center",
theme_advanced_ toolbar_location : "top",
});
</script>
<form class="iform" action="<?php echo $_SERVER
['PHP_SELF'] ; ?>" method="post" >
News title: <br/>
<input type="text" name="title" size="40" /><br/><br/>
Content:<br/ >
<textarea name="newstext" rows="15" 
cols="67"></ textarea> <br/>
<center><input type="submit" name="submit" 
value="Save" ></center>
</form>
<?php
}
function insertNews() {
$newsTitle =isset($_POST[ 'title']) ? $_POST
['title'] : 'Untitled';
$submitDate = date('Y-m-d g:i:s A');
$newsContent = isset($_POST[ 'newstext' ])? $_POST
['newstext'] :'No content';
$filename = date('YmdHis' );
if(!file_exists( $this->newsDir) ){
mkdir($this- >newsDir) ;
}
$f = fopen($this-
>newsDir.DIRECTORY_ SEPARATOR. $filename. ".txt","w+ ");
fwrite($f,$newsTitl e."\n");
fwrite($f,$submitDa te."\n");
fwrite($f,$newsCont ent."\n") ;
fclose($f);
header('Location: index.php' );
}
}
?>

here is index.php:

<?php
#Front End
?>
<?php
require_once
("news.class.php");
$newsHandler = new news();
?>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<div id="content">
	<?php $newsHandler->displayNews();?>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

here is admin.php

<?php
#News administrator panel
?>
<?php
require_once("news.class.php");
$newsHandler = new news();
if (!isset($_POST['submit'])){
?>

This will get you sorter for the first five queries orded by date descending:

"SELECT contents FROM table ORDER BY submitDate DESC LIMIT 5"

Next: pagination isn't something that can be explained in a thread. Google it - there are more tutorials on how to do pagination than you can shake a stick at.

Where will I put this code on my index.php(my previous codes above)?
"SELECT contents FROM table ORDER BY submitDate DESC LIMIT 5"

Use it in your database query. Didn't you write that code?

Use it in your database query. Didn't you write that code?

will i write it any where on the code index.php including the "double quotes"?

haku · January 23, 2009

You can't use the code I gave you - it was an example. You will have to swap in your own table and column names, and put it in the spot where you are doing your database query. If you were the one who wrote the script, this shouldn't be a problem.

And its really hard to understand your posts if you keep including your comments in my quotes. Hint: Put your comments outside the opening and closing quote tags.

by the way, the codes that i posted here is the code from our professor, ms. Cabrera
