General PHP Help / Incrementing the data correctly...

Simply do a query looking for the specific email address ie. SELECT email from blah where email = '$_POST['email'];

Then use [phpref]mysql_num_rows[/phpref]

if the values returned are greater then 0 then the email address already exists.
Look at these functions as well...
[phpref]mysql_query[/phpref]
[phpref]mysql_connect[/phpref]
[phpref]mysql_select_db[/phpref]

If you wrote that code above you should have no problem with this part.

And another link...
http://www.htmlcenter.com/tutorials/tut ... m/155/php/

Basically to get it working on my host, all I did was went to the Cron Jobs and typed this in:

(lets pretend run at midnight a program called cron.php)

"0 0 * * * lynx -dump  http://mysite.com/cron.php"

I as well had problems connecting and got that same message when trynig to connect to mine as well. (when trying to connect through shell). So im not sure on that one.
Hope this helps!

General PHP Help / Time to learn arrays... hmm

« on: May 28, 2004, 12:03:16 AM »

Well a quick question here. Basically I am trying to learn the concept of arrays, and this is what I am trying to do.
On the form page we have all our variables and are ready to be filled out. $_POST is the array created upon submiting the form right? No problem.

Now we make things a little more difficult. With each field name I want to use [require] and [norequire] IE
<INPUT TYPE="text" name="[require][name]">

Thus on the next page it would show up as
an array $_POST[require][name] As well as bringing in the rest of the fields, under each array, require and norequire. ( I hate multidimensional arrays)

My question is, when bringing out the data in the array, how do I keep the New Array Order the same as the order it was submitted from the form?

IE.

<input type="text" name="[require][name]">
<input type="text" name="[norequire][email]">
<input type="text" name="[require][phone]">
<input type="text" name="[norequire][content]">

This order will show up in the array like this, with two seperate arrays:
[require] [name] => bob
[require] [phone] => 555-5555
[norequire] [email] => bob@555.com
[require] [phone] => 555-5555
[norequire] [content] => blah


Ideas or suggestions? Or is this not possible? Basically What im trying to do is create a universal function that will take any submited information and insert it into the database, this would not be a problem if i didn't want to do error checking, but the error checking and throwing me into multi-dimensional arrays kinda throws me way off... any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks,
Drew

A Fun little challenege indeed, but I need to understand how arrays work first.

alright. Lets see what we can do... how exactly do you read the file into a string using fopen... i am a little unfamiliar with it.

I do not have access to my server right now but here is my try where im at right now. let me know if their is something that should be changed... Thanks

PHP Code: [Select]


 if ($_POST['submit_upload_file']) { 
        $Temporary_File = $_FILES['upload_file']['tmp_name']; 
        $File_Name = $_FILES['upload_file']['name']; 
        move_uploaded_file($Temporary_File, "temp/$File_Name"); 
        $File_Open = @fopen("temp/$File_Name", "b") or DIE ("Error Opening File");
        $File_Read = @fread("temp/$File_Name") or DIE ("Error reading the file");
        $File_Close = @fclose("temp/$File_Name") or DIE ("Error Closing File");
        $File_Delete = unlink("temp/$File_Name") or DIE ("Error Deleteing The File"); 
        $_POST['event_description'] = $File_Read; 
        } 



with that, Should $_POST['event_description'] now contain the contents to the file?

reading and opening the file is no problem at all, its how it translates it. Its in binary format rather then ASCII and thus shows up with a bunch of symbols and stuff...

thanks for your help though

General PHP Help / File upload of .DOC... Interesting

« on: May 21, 2004, 01:07:16 AM »

Well, heres one for you all... Need to upload a file, and reprint it into a textbox. Ok thats no problem at all. The real issue at hand is when uploading .DOC's... it seems to do it in BINARY format... any ideas on converting or what to do?

PHP Code: [Select]

if ($_POST['submit_upload_file']) {

$Temporary_File = $_FILES['upload_file']['tmp_name'];

$File_Name = $_FILES['upload_file']['name'];

move_uploaded_file($Temporary_File, "temp/$File_Name");

$Read_File = file_get_contents("temp/$File_Name");

unlink("temp/$File_Name");

$_POST['event_description'] = $Read_File;

}

arrays can be manipulated in a vast majority of ways...

[phpref]array[/phpref]
it can be sorted front to back, back to front, things can be replaced, things can be removed... very similar to a tempoary row in a database... Thats how I would reference it anyways....

but if i am understanding this correctly, why can you not order it by distance when you make the original pull?

Im confused as to why their are double quotes on the inside of the global variable anyways? Those are suppose to be single quotes, right?... Try this...

$handle = @fopen("articles/{$_POST['name']}", "w");
