php counter

[Kahif]

Helo everyone

i am using the following code to get views regarding visits 

 <li><span class="cmp_button_wire" ><i class="fa fa.eye"></i>{$article->getViews()}</span></li>

please help me how to add 1000 in each view, i mean the display must show a number (views count) with addition of 1000

e.g., if there are 34 views in actual, it should show 1034

Regards.

You use the "+" operator to add two numbers together.

[Kahif]

can you please guide the exact code that i will replace 

[Kahif]

where i have to put the "+" operator in the code

<li><span class="cmp_button_wire" ><i class="fa fa.eye"></i>{$article->getViews()}</span></li>

[ginerjm]

If this were part of a PHP script it could look like this:<

// assuming already in PHP mode
$cnt = $article->getViews();
$newcnt = $cnt + 1000;
echo "<li>
	<span class='cmp_button_wire'>
	<i class='fa fa.eye'>$newcnt</i>
	</span>
	</li>";

How you update the $newcnt into where  $article is another topic.

PS - I corrected your italics tag.  The better way is to use CSS for that instead of the old <i> tag.

To add some context to @Barand's response. The code you provided is not "complete". I would expect that line is contained within an echo statement that uses double quotes. Within a string defined with double quotes the brace {} characters have special meaning - they allow you to include a PHP variable directly within the quoted string. But, you cannot manipulate the variable within the braces - only include the value of it. So, similar to what Barand showed, you need to find where that string starts and before the declaration of the string you will want to define a new variable which is the view count +1000. Then replace the view count variable within the quoted string with the new variable that you have defined.

Everyone I am really thankful for the nice help

I am going to share the complete code as below

i have used the segment as below

{$cnt = $article->getViews;
$newcnt = $cnt + 1000;}
echo "<li>
    <span class='cmp_button_wire'>
    <i class='fa fa.eye'>$newcnt</i>
    </span>
    </li>"

 

but its not working😴

[ginerjm]

It should be showing the same 'new' value every time since we are not saving it afterwards yet.

Try this:

$cnt = $article->getViews();
$newcnt = $cnt + 1000;
echo "old cnt $cnt; new cnt $newcnt<br>";
echo "<li>
    <span class='cmp_button_wire'>
    <i class='fa fa.eye'>$newcnt</i>
    </span>
    </li>"

see what you get out of that

@ginerjmI am really grateful for your great help but unfortunately its not working........

[ginerjm]

Did you see the echo output that I put in there?

Can I see That block of code please?  Not the whole thing which I woudn't even look at.  Just a little that will give me some context.   BTW - do you have error checking enabled?  When you say not working does it at least display when you run it?  

 

Just ran a test of the code.  There is an error in my code which you are not picking up apparently.  Turn on error checking or if by not working you mean that you see absolutely nothing on your screen.

@ginerjmWhy have you suggested putting the $newcount in the middle of a Font-Awesome icon?

[ginerjm]

I assumed that it was an italics tag that s/b showing the new value.  Figured if it was outside the <i></i>then it served no purpose.

Have no idea what "font awesome" is BTW.

[Kahif]

The line below is showing the actual number of count without addition of 1000 and working fine

<li><span class="cmp_button_wire" ><i class="fa fa.eye"></i>{$article->getViews()}</span></li>

but how to add 1000 in each count

[ginerjm]

That's the part I said you have to do.  I certainly don't know what your app is doing and I'm not going thru the entire block you posted.  

Is this thing using a db?  Find the logic that uses the $article's class and see what methods it has.  It has a getview one so maybe it has an "updateview" method.

Edited February 14, 2023 by ginerjm

[Kahif]

I am adding it diectly in cpanel and it is using a DB, ok let me to see if the "updateview" work or not

BTW, please tel me how to embed updateview in this code??

Strange, because I gave you an example about 3 weeks ago

 

[ginerjm]

You gave that to someone to help but I had no interest in whatever it was/is.

Since I have no knowledge this class you are using (at least I am assuming it is a class) I really can't help you.  But look a the docs for it and see what methods are provided.  Than add it to the php section after you have done the update and display.  If it's just a one line call to a method you could insert it right after the logic I gave you.

[Kahif]

Thnak you

[Barand]

I haven't used Smarty, but does this work?

<li><span class="cmp_button_wire" ><i class="fa fa.eye"></i>{$article->getViews() + 1000}</span></li>

You were quoted in that reply - it was response to one of your statements (the last time that you were sounding off about deprecated italics tags).

[ginerjm]

Well thank you for pointing that out.  But I still am clueless about what it is doing there and I don't think I have any need to learn about it.
