you have 'company_name' in SET and then again in WHERE. This looks fishy.

This may sound stupid, but are you actually EXECUTING the query?
$doit = mysql_query($query);

What does mysql_error() says?
Tried to print out the query and execute it directly in the mysql prompt or phpmyadmin? What happens then?

Funny how a mysql question gets a lot of attention...

select * from $table_name where company_name ='$mod_dataset'

expect:
 0 rows

Hello,

 

I successfully tested the GD library and several scripts with PHP locally on

my windows machine. I went to test the same php-files on my internet server
(Linux).
But on the server I get the following error: 

 

Warning: imagejpeg: unable to open 'temp.jpg' for writing in
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/photos.php on line 29

I already changed the file permissions but it didn't still work.

Does anybody know how to solve the problem?

 

This is line 29:

imagejpeg($base_image, 'temp.jpg'); //convert and save it to temp.jpg

 

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi,

you should give it a path, i.e. ./temp.jpg or a full absolute path.

Hi there....

What I am hoping to do is have a drop down menu that would be populated from the contents of a directory via php. Now The link names would be generated by the file name minus the file extension. Has anyone seen a tutorial on accomplishing something like this? All of the links would be to quicktime movies, but I am hoping to have them embedded in HTML (or PHP)..... So the movie is displayed in a browser....

thanks in advance!

This should do the trick:

// opening select tag goes here...

if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) {
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))

       if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')

           $fileName = str_replace('.mov', '', $file);
           echo '<option value="' . $file . '">' . $fileName . '</option>';
       }
   }
   closedir($handle);
}

// closing select tag goes here

Haven't tested it. Hope it works and helps ;)

Hey,

been looking at a lot of calenders most of them are either too big for my
use (whole page), not free, in javascript or  too complicated.

I require a calender that is simple, loads fast,small and not javascript,
the closest I found is at:
http://scripts.franciscocharrua.com/calendar.php

just two problems with it,
1. It does not have the days on top (eg: s,m,t,w,t,f,s - sunday,
monday....etc)
2. (not required but would be nice if it would) allow me to link from the
days of the calender to some page/s

I guess I could modify the above calender as it pretty good + open
source...but if anybody is using a calender already which is like the above
+ the 1 or two points I wrote....your response would be appreciated. ;-)

Thanks,
-Ryan

Hi Ryan,

there is an excellent calendar package in PEAR with good documentation:
http://pear.php.net/package/Calendar

Here is a simple sample script to build a calendar that can easily be
modified:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.datetime.calendar.intro-inahurry.php

Hope this helps.

regards, Torsten

hello,

i am wondering if there is a good way to trigger a php script from a web
page *without* sending the user to a new page or opening a new browser
windows.

for instance, suppose you wanted to make a button/link on a web page
that, when clicked, would cause a database entry to be decremented. 
however, you do not want to refresh the page or open a popup window or
any stinky little tricks like that.

or, if this is not possible, does anyone know how to trigger a php
script when someone accesses a particular file from an apache server? 
or if a file from a particular directory is downloaded...


thanks a lot!

Use a virtual include to call the php script.

I don't think you can do that unless the php script is used to access the file or perform the download you speak of.

--- Begin Message --- I have to say I like everything about the PEAR coding standards except for the K&R bracing style. I much prefer:

  if( foo )
  {
     blah;
  }

to

  if( foo ) {
     blah;
  }


The latter form (K&R) conserves vertical space, but I find it a lot harder to follow. Harder to move blocks of code around too. I'm sure plenty of people disagree, so of course this is IMHO.


cheers,

Travis

Hi all,

I was having a conversation with a friend and talking about coding standards in the open source community (focusing on PHP). I seem to remember there being a document out there that sort of laid it out pretty well.

Anyone know where I might find a copy?


PEAR has a page in their documentation about coding standards:

--- Begin Message --- Also checkout Textpattern (in gamma right now, with g1.19 due in the next few days, which should be pretty much perfect for everything I've ever wanted).

http://www.textpattern.com/

FWIW, it *is* standards compliant, has clean/smart PHP code, has a beautiful interface, an amazing support community, an awesome developer/owner (Dean Allen), nice plug-in architecture, role based permissions structure, unlimited blogs (actually, they're sections of the site with categories and sub-categories), so it's really a CMS the feels "bloggy".

And as of g1.19, Textpattern will be open source.

What it does lack (I guess) is maturity and an abundance of plugins. But on the other hand, it has everything you want (I think), right out of the box, and a great community to help you write plugins. At the moment it lacks message boards and things like that, but everything will be there eventually.

Even at this early stage, every other CMS I've ever used (and even the one I've spent a year developing part-time) pales in comparison. It may not do "everything" right now, but it will -- trust me. This thing will crush MT, Wordpress, and everything else out there, and will never cost you a cent.


I can't speak highly enough of it right now, and the future is very bright.

Hello,

I'm looking for CMS that have great administration part. I'm not
interested in site displaying, speed, HTML standards or anything like that. I just need stable administration part with modules:


- News with archives;
- Blogs;
- Some users Can be administrators of blogs;
- Link directory;
- Navigation with multiple categories and subcategories;
- Different news for different parts of my web site;

Web site will be very large and it will have almost any module that you can find these days :)

I like XOOPS [1]. I also have my eye on Mambo [2]. A friend of mine told me that Drupal [3] has best community and if not drupal that I should check EZ [4].

What do you think? Which CMS has best PHP coding standards, best community, most modules etc...

Any advice is appreciated.

1. http://xoops.org/
2. http://mamobserver.com/
3. http://drupal.org/
4. http://ez.no/

If you know of some other CMS please send link. I know of opensourcecms.com but I'm interested in your opinions about project future, community etc.

Thanks to everyone who answered my request for help with this.

Yes, as some of you have pointed out, the pattern was correct but my logic
was wrong.

So once again thank you to all that helped.

Just as an FYI, the following line will get your email a lot of spam points in 
SpamAssassin:

$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n";

Also, I don't know if this has already been suggested, but there is an awesome 
class named htmlMimeMail which will handle your needs perfectly. Google it 
and you will have everything you need.

Although I have never seen a full app, I have seen PHP code which handles 
checkin/checkout of files as a class. I don't know if that will help you, but 
if it will then please let me know and I will dig it up.
