Another question about formatting date & time

SMSapphire — Tue, 13 May 2008 20:05:47 GMT

Hey all~

Recently I set up a simple database for a "News and Updates" page. Basically it's just a comment field that is stored with a current timestamp. It's almost the way I want it but I'm having trouble getting the date to display correctly. I thought that I could assign the timestamp to a variable and use strftime() to format. Unfortunately that bit, the third line, is formatted how I want but it seems to see a zero date.

Any thoughts on how to get this to work

SMSapphire

Here is how the dates for the first three entries look:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 2008-05-10 02:21:02
$time_format= 2008-05-10 02:21:02
Fixed Date: Wed, 31 Dec, 1969 06:33PM

Date: 2008-04-09 09:30:22
$time_format= 2008-04-09 09:30:22
Fixed Date: Wed, 31 Dec, 1969 06:33PM

Date: 2008-03-13 12:25:52
$time_format= 2008-03-13 12:25:52
Fixed Date: Wed, 31 Dec, 1969 06:33PM

And here is the snippet of code that displays it:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<h3>What's going on around here lately???</h3>
<?php do { ?>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> <?php echo $row_rs_news_updates['date']; ?></p>

<p><strong>$time_format=</strong>
<?php $time_format = $row_rs_news_updates['date'];
echo $time_format;
?>

<p><strong>Fixed Date:</strong> <?php echo strftime("%a, %d %b, %Y %I:%M%p", $time_format); ?></p>

<p><?php echo nl2br($row_rs_news_updates['content']); ?> </p>
<hr />
<?php } while ($row_rs_news_updates = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_news_updates)); ?>

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

advice?

tristram — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 19:44:40 GMT

i hired a php/mysql programmer to set up a web site for a client. everything went successfully. we built the site on a staging server. yesterday i was attempting to migrate the entire directory over to the live server which resulted in an error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /mnt/gs01/herd02/31283/domains/staging.domain-custom.com/html/Gallery/admin/includes/php/connection.php on line 4

i then moved everything back to it's original location and get the same error. i am not a programmer and realize that perhaps some permissions dialog got fuxored in this process?

i am really in a bind here trying to "go live" with client site.

Probably a really simple question...

SMSapphire — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 20:51:08 GMT

Hey all~

So I'm really just diving in to the world of PHP and created a website for some friends that uses to insert header and footer information into the pages, plus a simple hit counter and a guestbook. I just finished a MySQL class and am interested in switching the guestbook over to PHP/MySQL, as it currently reads from, and writes to a flat text file.

So as I was setting up the initial form to populate the database, I noticed that the date kept coming up NULL, so I added the following statements:

<?php
$date = date("h:ia, F jS, Y");
?>

<p>Todays Date is: <?php date("h:ia, F jS, Y"); ?></p> 
<p>Todays Date is: <?php $date; ?></p> 

And nothing is coming up!I thought it would be a total non-issue, but I'm at a loss why something this simple wouldn't just work.

Any thoughts? Thanks for any assistance.

customizable survey engine?

areyouxp — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 22:12:34 GMT

hello all,
i am looking for a php/mysql based survey engine. the main requirement is that i need to be able to put our existing authentication protocol onto it, so that select authorized users can create and edit surveys (preferably through a web interface), and select authorized users can take them. i want the results to be stored in our mysql database and results retrievable by authorized users in a usable form. if such an engine costs (not a huge amount of) money, that is fine, too.
does anything like that exist? thankful for any leads.

CharacterLimit and Richtext Editor Issue

david — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 23:38:39 GMT

I have a description field that uses a Rich Text Editor.
When I display the results on an overview page I want to limit the characters. I am having an issue with html tags getting cut off and, as a result, the rest of the page is not rendered correctly.
Example:
<span font-family="arial, ...

Currently using:
$CharacterLimit=200; // Define how many characters to be displayed in the description
$ColumnLimit = substr($description, 0, $CharacterLimit);
echo "<td colspan='6'>".$ColumnLimit."...</td>\n";

Any help would be appreciated.

Unit Testing in PHP5 !

Thu, 01 Sep 2005 01:26:23 GMT

I have been working on an open source internet jukebox system for a while now. It was originally developed in the java/j2ee framework.
I have recently been considering rewriting the web portion of this project in PHP5.

The new object model of php5 provides true object oriented programming ability. I like this as I am used to developing in java. I like that i am able to easily apply my existing knowledge of java design patterns, and that this knowledge translates well to php5. I.e. I have been writing my own sort of mini collections and OO database wrapper apis.

Eventually this brought me to the question of how to test my code. Under java i had used JUnit. Was there something like this for php?

Enter PHPUnit:

The unit testing framework rocks.
It is based on JUnit and very similar to work with.

If you are a php developer and designing your current app with OO code, you should definitely check this out:

PEAR Auth_HTTP Module

Nizla — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 14:53:06 GMT

Auth_HTTP works great but seems to store the username and password somehow so that after you've logged out and destroyed the session, you're logged out in terms of the sessions being destroyed. But, when you revisit the Auth_HTTP it remembers the previous info you entered so doesn't ask you again and just logs you in automattically.

Was thinking it might have something to do with the realm name, as I can't find any info on what the realm name does, is used for, etc.

If I randomize the realm name maybe that will force it to re-ask.

Anyone had experience with this?

Point me in a direction

mathus13 — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 16:14:13 GMT

Trying to display an inventory database with a little less coding, im having some trouble.
I can call an array from the database of departments, but then im trying to use the results from that query to call another query.

IE: query a answers "paint" in an array
that array is assigned to $dept
then calling another query (in a loop) using "SELECT * FROM items WHERE dept = '".$dept."'";

current code looks like this:

function dept_find()
{

$sql1 = "SELECT * FROM items WHERE dept = '$dept' AND qty > '0'";
$res = mysqli_query($mysqli, $sql1);
if (!$res) {
echo "Could not successfully run query ($sql1) from DB: dept = ".$dept."<br>" . mysqli_error();
}
if ($res) {
$num = mysqli_num_rows($res);
while ($newArray = mysqli_fetch_array($res, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$item = $newArray['Item'];
$desc = $newArray['desc'];
$price = $newArray['price'];
$id = $newArray['id'];
printf("<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"toggle_visibility('".$dept."')\">".$dept."</a><br />
<div id=\"".$dept."\" style=\"display:block\"><table></td><td width=\"200\">".$item."</td><td width=\"250\">".$desc."</td><td width=\"5\">".$price."</td><td><img src=\"Images\\items\\".$id.".jpg\" /></td></tr></table></div>");}
} }

$sql = "SELECT * FROM department";
$res = mysqli_query($mysqli, $sql);
if (!$res) {
echo "Could not successfully run query ($sql) from DB: " . mysqli_error();
exit;
}
if ($res) {
$num = mysqli_num_rows($res);
while ($newArray = mysqli_fetch_array($res, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$dept = $newArray['name'];
echo $dept."<br>";
dept_find($dept);

}
}

problem is the $dept is not being passed to the function. What am i doing wrong?

Internationalization of tagging

tomanderson — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 19:02:21 GMT

Tags are helping to define the semantic web but most tagging systems prefer to normalize tags, removing white space, commas, and the like. As UTF-8 is the standard with the potential of as many characters as the commodore had memory, normalizing tags seems an impossibility. How should extended characters be handled and what does normalization mean in a global characterset?

Db Question: Tracking Inventory

pixelslut — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 16:50:20 GMT

I need to make a system to track an inventory. How should i go about it? I mean i can set the initial amount and then jsut add or subtract for records there after but that would mean everytime i calculated id have to run add all the values - this would most certianly at some point in the future be a bottleneck right? So what should i do? I though about making a master table with one record thats updated each time a transaction is made as well as actually storing the transactions in another table but that just seems odd to me for some reason - to have an entire table with just one record... Maybe im jsut being silly. I dunno.

What are some common practices for this type of thing?

PHP not working in OS X after re-install

I had to reinstall my system and as such lost my Entropy PHP5 install.

I do have a custom httpd.conf with a bunch of virtual servers on it. I looked at that page and there is no LoadModule PHP5 or anything like that there. The Loadmodule for php4 is off. So if there is no load module, then why does test.php work? Got me.

I uploaded the resulst of the test.php file here:

Handling session timeouts

mrcurtain — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 14:58:59 GMT

We store a bunch of data in the SESSION.

When the session times-out, the user is given a bunch of ugly error messages because that data is now missing.

I could handle it by checking for the existence of certain variables in the SESSION, but that seems like a bit of a kludge.

What's the _proper_ way of checking for this?

Savant template engine?

randomizer — Tue, 03 Oct 2006 18:48:13 GMT

Does anyone here have experience using the Savant template engine for projects (http://phpsavant.com/yawiki/) ? I've used Smarty for a couple projects, and while it works just fine, it does have a couple of annoying points, such as having to set up the compiled folder with different permissions (under Linux at least), and trying to remember the different Smarty syntax. Savant does seem easier to deal with in this regard, but if there are problems with it that I haven't thought of, please let me know.

mail attachment

timsi — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 13:50:00 GMT

Hi

Has anybody encounter this strange problem that while sending a file as an attachment, it omits first few characters of first record? If yes, how did you solve it?
I'm also pasting my code which i'm using to send an email with attachment:

$file1="export.txt";
$file = "exporttext/".$file1;
$fp = fopen($file,"rb");
$fcontent = fread($fp ,filesize($file));
fclose($fp);
$content = chunk_split(base64_encode($fcontent));
$sep = strtoupper(md5(uniqid(time())));
$name = basename($file);
$from = "abc@abc.com";
$to = "1@1.com";
$subject = "test";
$header = "From: $from\nReply-To: $from\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=$sep\n";
$body .= "--$sep\n";
$body .= "Content-Type: text/plain\n";
$body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n\n";
$body .= "$msgtext\n";
$body .= "--$sep\n";
$body .= "Content-Type: $type; name=\"$file\"\n";
$body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
$body .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"\n";
$body .= "$content\n";
$body .= "--$sep--";

Way to pass variables

chainmaile — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 17:31:18 GMT

I've got a new boss on one of my sites, and he's decided he want sot have variables passed a different way:

The way we are doing it now: (warning, adult content)
http://www.chantacash.com/promo/032_Harmony/index1.php?refid=chanta

What he wants:
- '032_harmony' should be simply '032'. we don't need to spell out 'refid=', all we need is the ID number. This URL could simply be:
http://preview.chantasbitches.com/032/i/3/526

I know it's possible (the place the new boss used to work does it) but I have no idea how to do it, or even how to word a search. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Permissions on MySQL

Nizla — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 04:30:08 GMT

I've just set up a "managed" dedicated server, the only one I have had that has not been through a friend.

So, everything is cool and in place but I cannot get my PHP to connect to the database, nevermind run a query. The server people said that it was the permissions but this is as helpful as they've been in the last 48hrs. I can see a separate database called MySQL with tables called "users", "hosts" etc. Can anyone give me any advice because I've tried changing all the values to "y" and it hasn't helped.

Thanks in advance.

Hashing a string

I want to take a set of strings and hash them, more or less, evenly into 1 of 4 boxes.

Any thoughts on the best way to do that?

FYI - I'm looking for a performance improvement loading a large number of thumbnails from 4 viritual hosts (img1.foo.com, img2.foo.com, etc.) instead of from just the 1 physical host (www.foo.com). There are limits on the number of connections to one host, but this should get around that.

I'm running a problem with one of the OSCommerce module called Configurator.
Problem is it is working with IE but not in Firefox. Here is the URL for you to check

http://thesourcecc.tagarsystems.net/ccc.php?systype=9

Click Customize and you will see what i mean. nothing is getting displayed. But if you open it in IE, everything is visible.

My idea is maybe getattribute function is not supported by Firefox.

Any help/suggestion in this regard will be appreciated.

PHP CLi

pixelslut — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 16:55:53 GMT

So Question about using php for scripting from the command line... IS there a way to get php to execute a given command and have it take place for the user for example lets say i want to make a that short cuts to directories it might look like this:

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php

$dirid = $argv[1];

/* Some code reads an xml file and retruns the path the directory as the variable $dirpath */

$command = 'cd '.$dirpath;
exec($command);

exit;
?>

So from my tests somehting like this only cd within the script, how do i make it actually cd for the user executing the script? IS that possible? or will i jsut have to write an sh script?

Attack of the PHP Script !!

k3no — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 23:35:34 GMT

So the other day I started coding a simple script for creating and updating image galleries with php.

My goals were to have just one php file for the script and one css file for both the UI and the gallery styling (so other people could modify these if they wanted ), I also wanted to avoid the requirement of having a Mysql database, so I opted for a scripted flat file system, but above all I just wanted an uncomplicated way of posting images and limited content in an artist friendly easy to install package...I had no idea what I was getting into : )

3 mythical man months later I am the proud father of this tinsy CMS and decided to let it out of the bag.

PHP Dreamweaver

Pink — Tue, 09 May 2006 19:28:25 GMT

I would like to use Dreamweaver to hand code some files, but because the way my site is set-up Dreamweaver doesn't seem to be the tool to use.

The site is set=up with a template of the header and footer information that stays the same for every page. It's one page, and the content is put into the page using an include() php tag.

This way, each file that is a page only has the content that is unique to that page.

The prolbem is, that if I try to edit this page in Dreamweaver, I don't get any of the CSS formatting and thus don't get to take advantage of using Dreamweaver, I might as well use BBedit and code by hand.

Is anyone out there using Dreamweaver successfully in the way that I am trying to describe? Any tips?

hmmmm parse array keys?

pixelslut — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 02:41:22 GMT

for the life of me i cant seem to be able to come up with a way to do this....

I want to pass an array (specifically $_POST) to a function and then filter it by the keys.... the only thing is i need to filter by a substring of the keys (ie. a prefix).

for example the $_POST array might look like this:

$_POST['cfield-name'] = 'jon doe';
$_POST['cfield-email'] = 'jon@doe.com';
$_POST['xid'] = 'update';
$_POST['table'] = 'addressbook';

and i want the resulting array to look like this:

$results['cfield-name'] = 'jon doe';
$results['cfield-email'] = 'jon@doe.com';

the thing is i never know exactly whats going to be in $_POST... i know there will be "cfields" there but its anybody's guess which cfields those will be or what other stuff will be contained in $_POST...

My last resort is jsut to apply a foreach or while loop on post and build a new array.. seems like this would decreae performance though as well s being the round about way to do things... maybe thats the only way though... im probably jsut being stupid... haha

I dunno...

just hold me and tell me it will all be ok....

Installing PHP on a Mac

I just bought a new Apple running OS X 10.4.7 and I'm trying to activate my installation of PHP. This is the first time I'm doing this myself and am having some trouble.

I know that Apples already come with PHP installed, but since I saw it had PHP4, I went ahead and tried to install Marc Liyanage's PHP5 package because it seemed to be so easy from the instructions. I downloaded the package, unpacked it, followed all the instructions it said to do, and everything seemed to work fine. But when I put the phpinfo() test file in my Sites directory and activated my Web Sharing and all that, when I went to test it all I got was the actual code in the browser window.

I've tried to view other .php site files in my Sites directory and all I get is code in the browser window. What could I be doing wrong?

Better Image Resize Algorithm.

k3no — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 18:42:57 GMT

Hello.

I am working on a Gallery script, and am having problems with my thumbnail algorithm. I want to have a maximum image size of 120x120px which needs to respect the image proportion, I am using:

$maxwidth = 120;
$maxheight = 120;

list($width_orig, $height_orig) = getimagesize($file);

if ($maxwidth && ($width_orig < $height_orig)) {
$maxwidth = ($maxheight / $height_orig) * $width_orig;
} else {
$maxheight = ($maxwidth / $width_orig) * $height_orig;
}

which works fine with most images, but near square ones freak out and give me way smaller thumbs.

Any Idea whats wrong, do you know of a better algorithm ?

Thanks

What I need to be able to do is have a person login through a form, make sure their username/password is legit, then pass them on into the rest of the site.

The thing is that once they login that there username is passed along through the url as a hidden field to each page they go to.

I thought I coudl do this using the global $php_auth_user varible, but it doesn't work if php is being run as CGI, which our provider does.

Objects - sharing code

mrcurtain — Tue, 21 Mar 2006 13:16:32 GMT

I have a bunch of php objects in my system.

Almost all of them are derived from a parent Record or RecordList class. Sometimes, I want to share code between the sibling classes. For example, an Item and an ItemList might have some common functions. For the moment, I've written the code twice or put it into an external global function.

What is the best way to do this?

I can use static functions -- but then I can't access member variables of the objects -- and I can't limit the access to only these two siblings, right?

I'd like to inherit both Item objects from the same ItemSharedCode object, but in php an object can only extend one class, right?

Any ideas?

Accessing MySQL via OS X Terminal

bridgetds — Sun, 05 Mar 2006 05:30:40 GMT

Hi all,

I'm brushing up on my coding skills with a Visual Quickpro PHP/MySQL book. In the "Introduction to SQL and MySQL" chapter, the author gives instructions on how to access the mysql monitor, but I can't see, to login successfully.

The instructions, in part:

2. Move to the mysql directory. For my operating system, the command is:

cd /usr/local/mysql

3. Enter the following text:

bin/mysql -u username -p

or

mysql -u username -p

or

./bin/mysql -u username -p

The last of these resulted in a password prompt. Entering my password, however, gives me the following message:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (61)
Users-Computer:/usr/local/mysql user$

Site redesign

Hi.

I've recently created a website with a PHP script I bought and converted. However, I'm not really a programer, and my redesign has made the site terribly clumsy to use, and I've had ALOT of complaints about it. I need to hire someone who can iron out the bugs and make it do what I want while being easy to use. Is there anyone interested, and how much would you charge?

the current site can be found at www.costumerating.com

Basicly, what I want is a rating site, where pictures can be placed in different categories. Anyone can browse and vote. You'd need a membership to place pictures and make comments on pictures. I'd like ONE username to be good site-wide, and a user could upload multiple pictures in multiple categories. Each picture should have a description, a comment page and a way to report abuses. Categories would be searchable by top 10, bottom 10, latest 10, and random.

PHP - MYSQL (limiting length of query result - String)

stallprophet — Sat, 17 Sep 2005 18:00:31 GMT

Hello,
I am going gonzo trying to figure out how to limit the amount of characters in a specific column when displaying the database results from a query.

I want
title: $title date: $date
Main Text: $maintext (I would like this to go about 100 charcters and then cut off...

Rather then displaying the entire $maintext as pulled form the dtabase.

Any idea?

A really specific problem Master/Detail Pages

micrage — Thu, 19 Jan 2006 03:30:53 GMT

Master page has a dynamic table. The primary is displayed and is the link to the detail page.

detail.php?recordID=<?php echo $row_recordset1['PRIMARY']; ?>

This fails to pass the URL variable (recordID) no matter what I try. In the browser it becomes:

detail.php?recordID=

Which takes you to the detail page and displays data from record one.

Ive tested it in the code tester and it does deliver the proper record. It's just not attaching any data onto the URL.

Getting PHPmyadmin to work on this server.

pseudotron — Sun, 11 Dec 2005 02:28:23 GMT

I'm installling a database driven site onto some local servers and I'm having a problem getting a mysql administration script running. They don't provide one, and the server requires me to include "#!/usr/local/php " at the beginning of each php page. I've taken the phpmyadmin scripts and added that line to EACH page (lots) and I still get the same "Internal server error 500" whenever I try to run it. Is there something about needing that line or the way the server is configured that requires something else to get phpmyadmin to run? I talked to the administrator there (he was little help) and he told me other sites are running it on their servers with no problems, once they added the line.
I should probably just beg him to get the scripts those people are using for me. But I don't think that would fly.
Big thanks,
Shane

phpMyAdmin: strange error

Old Spider — Sat, 17 Dec 2005 12:13:47 GMT

Win2k. I have Apache 1.3 installed and I've been encountering an odd intermittent error when using phpMyAdmin. Every now and then, particularly when viewing and editing a table, I'll be given an error popup saying something went wrong, an error log is being written, and Apache is being shut down. Of course, Apache is never shut down and eventually, or after I click the cancel button, phpMyAdmin finishes whatever it was supposed to be doing. I have yet to figure out where this error log is supposed to be, but that smell indicates someone left a floater in the tank.

Any ideas?

subquery mayhem... where am i going wrong?

James — Wed, 21 Dec 2005 18:11:03 GMT

can anybody offer some advice on this? i'm banging my head on the wall trying to find a solution to this. I'm trying to create a report to compare similar items from different suppliers so that we only put the cheapest (or largest quantity) supplier on our website. But differences in product names has me at a standstill.

i have a DB full of products that is fed by a datafeed from a number of sources. some of the sources use the "NAME" field to put in a name, but others use "NAME" for the manufacturer and "TITLE" for a short description.

ie,
"ARMANI", "EDT SPRAY 1.7oz", "Supplier1"
"ARMANI", "EDT SPRAY 6.0oz", "Supplier1"
"ARMANI EDT SPRAY 1.7oz", "", "Supplier2"
"ARMANI EDT SPRAY 10oz", "", "Supplier2"

I want to produce a report that would show

ARMANI EDT 1.7oz - Supplier 1 & ARMANI EDT 1.7oz - Supplier 2

so we can choose which one to keep active.

This is where I've gotten so far:

$query = "SELECT product.*,
CONCAT_WS(' ', name, title) AS nametitle,
COUNT(name)
FROM product
GROUP BY name
HAVING ( COUNT(name) > 1 )
";

COUNT(name) works great for those items that only use the 'name' field, but those with 'name' and 'title' split screws it up. i then get a report that shows me 2 matches for ARMANI even though the titles are different.

I created the CONCAT_WS nametitle to put the two together, but I can't do a count on that within the same query... should I create this query and then do another search on nametitle or is there any way of doing this within the same search?

any advice will be greatly appreciated. if you need me to post more code to figure out what i'm talking about, just ask. thanks.

affiliate scripts

gary — Sun, 18 Dec 2005 01:22:06 GMT

Hi folks,

I'm helping out a local non-profit that is looking to create a very lightweight link exchange/affiliate program to help promote an upcoming event.

Here's how they'd like it to work:
1. Website publishers would go to their site, and register for a unique affiliate ID.

2. Each affiliate would get either an HTML or Javascript snippet that, when added to their site, would display an ad for the event.

3. The system would provide functionality around tracking impressions, clicks, and ideally uniques.

Any suggestions for open source php-based solutions that fit this description, or perhaps something that could be modified to do so?

Thanks in advance!

Need help with an MySQL query string

chainmaile — Mon, 05 Dec 2005 06:18:05 GMT

I'm doing some of my first work with a MySQL database, and I'm having trouble with a select statement. I've got a table, named galdata. One of the fields is pubdate (formatted as "YYYY-MM-DD"). If pubdate is set as "0000-00-00" it's not set to publish. I grab the current date using getdate() and format it into a string to match pubdate, padding the day and month with a zero if necessary.

I can run the following select state to show all the records that aren't "0000-00-00":
$result = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM galdata where pubdate != '0000-00-00'" );

What I need to know if how to format that select statement so it checks that the pubdate !- "0000-00-00" and pubdate <= $current_date (my formatted string).

Thanks for any help you can give.
