RE: [PHP] populate form input option dropdown box from existing data
On 17 June 2009 15:01, PJ advised:
It does, indeed. This confirms my inexperienced conclusion that
in_array() does not work on associative arrays per se; it works on
simple arrays and I just don't have the experience to think of
extracting only the id fields.
Let's squash this misconception again -- PHP only has associative
arrays, it's just that in most contexts it treats numeric keys
specially. So, internally, array('fred', 'bill', 'joe') is stored using
exactly the same techniques as array('one'='fred', 'two'='bill',
'three'='joe'), but because the first one has numeric keys there are
some things you can do with it that you can't with the second. But
functions such as in_array, where all that really matters is the array's
values, really couldn't care whether the keys are numeric, string, or a
mixture.
Also, the other problem was the option selected definition required
Shawn's clarification select name='component-select' multiple ...
which
now highlights the selected fields. In all my searches (horrendously
wasted time) I did not find
any mention
of component-select either in php.net or w3c.org
I totally don't understand this comment: 'component-select' is just the
name that Shawn chose to give his select field -- he could just as
well have named it 'arnold-frog' without it making a blind bit of
difference (so long as every other reference to it was changed to
match!).
Cheers!

On 17 June 2009 14:30, PJ advised: For the moment, I am trying to resolve the problem of extracting a value from a string returned by a query. I thought that in_array() would do it, but the tests I have run on it are 100% negative. The only thing I have not used in the tests is third parameter bool $strict which only affects case-sensitivity if the $needle is a string. $strict has nothing whatsoever at all in any way to do with case sensitivity -- $strict controls whether the values are compared using equality (==) or identity (===) tests. As is stated quite clearly on the manual page, in_array() is always case-sensitive. This leads me to believe that in_array() is either inappropriately defined in the manual and not effective on associative arrays Complete rubbish -- the in_array() manual page is excellent and totally accurate, complete with 3 working examples.

Hi gang:
Here's the problem. Let's say you have a collection of
arrays, such as:
$a = array();
$b = array();
$c = array();
$d = array();
And then you populate the arrays like so:
while(...)

$a[] = ...

$c[] = ...
$d[] = ...
}
Now, let's say you want to sort the $d array, but you also want the
arrays $a, $b, and $c to be arranged in the same resultant order as
$d.
For example, please follow this:
Before sort of $d:
$a = [apple, banana, grape, orange]
$b = [100, 2111, 198, 150]
$c = [red, yellow, purple, orange]
$d = [100, 300, 11, 50]
After sort of $d:
$a = [grape, orange, apple, banana]
$b = [198, 150, 100, 2111]
$c = [purple, orange, red, yellow]
$d = [11, 50, 100, 300]
array_multisort($d, $a, $b, $c) should do what you want,

Problem #1)in the first query result. I can't figure out how to deal
with it. The code works fine if there are categories assigned to the
book. If not, an undefined variable error is spewed out for selected.
That's because the test you use for the success of the query:
( ( $results = mysql_query($sql, $db) ) !== false )
is true if and only if the query succeeds, whether or not you get any rows
returned.
You then start looping over the fetched rows, and if there are none $selected
never gets anything assigned to it, and so never gets defined.
Since you don't rely on $selected being actually populated (in_array works fine
on an empty array...), you might be better off pre-setting $selected before you
start the first query:
$selected = Array();
$sql = SELECT id, category FROM categories, book_categories
WHERE book_categories.bookID = '$bid'
book_categories.categories_id = categories.id;
if ( ( $results = mysql_query($sql, $db) ) )
{
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results) )
{
$selected[] = $row['id'];
}
}
Problem #2) in the second query, the selected is in the source code but
it is not highlited. Several times I did get the categories highlighted,
but I could never catch what it was that made it work. When I had the
$id problem, i was trying this code from Yuri (but I don't understand
where he got the $id from ) :
The HTML you generate in the selected case is not quite right - you should have
quotes around the value attribute's value, and you missed a closing '' off
the option tag...
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results) )
{
if (in_array($row['id'], $selected))
{
echo option value=', $row['id'], ' selected='selected' ,
$row['category'], /optionbr /;
}
else
{
echo option value=, $row['id'], , $row['category'], /optionbr
/;
}
}
More succinctly:
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results) )
{
$sel = in_array($row['id'], $selected) ? selected='selected':;
echo option value='{$row['id']}' $sel{$row['category']}/optionbr /;
}
Unless the code is seriously performance critical, I still think variable
interpolation is nicer to read than all those quotes and commas, and it keeps
the HTML structure together better...
Good luck

Why do you need them in separate variables? Can't you use them using
array syntax elsewhere in your code?
Basically, I don't know how else to handle inserting and updating random

What he's talking about is doing this:
if ($res = mysql_query ($sql, $db)) {
/* I personally prefer res for resource, not results */
while ($r = mysql_fetch_assoc ($res)) {
$rows[] = $r;
}
}
And then you access the individual rows/columns as
$rows[0]['first_name']
$rows[0]['last_name']
$rows[1]['first_name']
$rows[1]['last_name']
and so on, in some kind of loop probably.
(I thought this had been spelled out already, but I
was unable to find it so perhaps not.)

2009/6/18 PJ af.gour...@videotron.ca:
I snipped to make it short... continue at bottom...
Step back from the code and consider the steps you need to perform...
1) Get an array of the categories, ideally in the form $cats[catid]
= categoryname.
2) Get an array of the category IDs that should be selected, i.e.
$selectedcats = array(3, 5, 7, 9).
3) Start the HTML select element
4) foreach ($cats as $id = $catname)
5) Determine whether it should be selected. e.g. $selected =
(in_array($id, $selectedcats) ? 'selected=selected' : ''.
6) Output the HTML option element, like option value=$id
$selected$catname/option, escaping where appropriate.
7) End of loop, job done.
If your code doesn't have that structure then you may want to consider
starting again.
I'm quite sure the structure is correct.
Secondly, check that you're not using the same variable name twice.
I did find that in an instance of $id being repeated so I changed it to
$bid.
In
one of your previous emails you used $selected to hold the array of
selected categories, and in another you used it for the text to be
inserted into the option element. The latter will blat over the former
leading to no more than 1 option selected, and even then only if it's
the first option displayed.
The $selected were not mine... as I was using $ccc ; only started using
$selected a couple of hours ago.
If you're still stuck please post more of your code in a single chunk
including all the elements in my step-by-step above. The snippets
you're currently posting are not giving us enough context to spot even
the most common mistakes.
I'm including the relevant code:
// select categories for book to be updated
$sql = SELECT id, category FROM categories, book_categories
WHERE book_categories.bookID = '$bid'
book_categories.categories_id = categories.id;
if ( ( $results = mysql_query($sql, $db) ) ) {
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results) ) {
$selected[] = $row['id'];
}
}
else $selected = Array( 0 = '0');
echo $selected;
print_r($selected);
$sql = SELECT * FROM categories;
echo select name='categoriesIN[]' multiple size='8';
if ( ( $results = mysql_query($sql, $db) ) !== false ) {
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results) ) {
if (in_array($row['id'], $selected)) {
echo option value=, $row['id'], selected='selected'
, $row['category'], /optionbr /;
}
else echo option value=, $row['id'], ,
$row['category'], /optionbr /;
}
}
Problem #1)in the first query result. I can't figure out how to deal
with it. The code works fine if there are categories assigned to the
book. If not, an undefined variable error is spewed out for selected.
It's best practice to initialise all variables before using them. The
code you have will not create the $selected variable if there are no
results...
(code repeated for clarity)
if ( ( $results = mysql_query($sql, $db) ) ) {
If there are no results this will still work so will drop through to...
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results) ) {
$selected[] = $row['id'];
}
But since there are no results the first call to mysql_fetch_assoc
will return false so the line in the middle will never get executed.
}
else $selected = Array( 0 = '0');
Drop this else line and instead put $selected = array(); before the
mysql_query line. Not sure why you want an element 0 = '0' in there,
I'm guessing it's one of your attempts to get rid of the notice.
Problem #2) in the second query, the selected is in the source code but
it is not highlited. Several times I did get the categories highlighted,
but I could never catch what it was that made it work.
Can you post the HTML you're getting for this select using the above
code. If the selected attributes are in the code correctly then there
must be a syntax error in there somewhere and the easiest way to find
it will be by looking at the HTML.
Stuart, you are one clear-headed dude. This is such a nice and clear
explanation - it's what we need for dummies llike me.
I had tried to declcare the variable, but didn't understand that it
needed to be declared as an array; I had put $selected = ; and
obviously it din't work.
As for the seconf problem, today it works. without any changes. I think
the Quirk Daemon struck my browser. Actuall, I have been sabotaged by
the cache when, in not thinking and not taking my ridalin, I would
confuse refresh with go to previous page.
I guess I can get some sleep now.

Let's squash this misconception again -- PHP only has associative
arrays, it's just that in most contexts it treats numeric keys
specially. So, internally, array('fred', 'bill', 'joe') is stored using
exactly the same techniques as array('one'='fred', 'two'='bill',
'three'='joe'), but because the first one has numeric keys there are
some things you can do with it that you can't with the second. But
functions such as in_array, where all that really matters is the array's
values, really couldn't care whether the keys are numeric, string, or a
mixture.
Thanks for the explanation.
Also, the other problem was the option selected definition required
Shawn's clarification select name='component-select' multiple ...
which
now highlights the selected fields. In all my searches (horrendously
wasted time) I did not find
any mention
of component-select either in php.net or w3c.org
I totally don't understand this comment: 'component-select' is just the
name that Shawn chose to give his select field -- he could just as
well have named it 'arnold-frog' without it making a blind bit of
difference (so long as every other reference to it was changed to
match!).
The way it was put, I understood that that was the definitive attribute
for the field. This confused me even more!
Cheers!
Mike

The multiple attribute only has one value: multiple, so it has to be select multiple=multiple. I don't think yes cuts the mustard. In HTML, you can shorten it to select multiple. From my limited experience, and vast reading of those glorious 20,000 entries on the Internet, multiple does not take a parameter. I had my fingers slapped once when I validated or something - multiple is just plain multiple ! :-P ;-) :-) Oh, good grief! Did you even read what you've quoted from me above? If you code to an HTML standard, then multiple can indeed be just plain multiple, but HTML 4 does allow the addition of =multiple for compatibility reasons. But if you code to an XHTML standard, multiple must be multiple=multiple, as XHTML **requires** that all attributes have an argument, and (as I've just learned!) multiple is the only valid argument for the multiple attribute. No modern browser that I know of will object to the multiple=multiple usage.

On 17 June 2009 14:30, PJ advised:
For the moment, I am trying to resolve the problem of
extracting a value
from a string returned by a query. I thought that in_array() would do
it, but the tests I have run on it are 100% negative. The only thing I
have not used in the tests is third parameter bool $strict which only
affects case-sensitivity if the $needle is a string.
$strict has nothing whatsoever at all in any way to do with case
sensitivity -- $strict controls whether the values are compared using
equality (==) or identity (===) tests. As is stated quite clearly on the
manual page, in_array() is always case-sensitive.
This leads me to
believe that in_array() is either inappropriately defined in
the manual
and not effective on associative arrays
Complete rubbish -- the in_array() manual page is excellent and totally
accurate, complete with 3 working examples.
I would really like to understand why my attempts to reproduce the first
example just did not work.
Note also that the examples do not show in_array($string, $array)
My array was Array ([0]=6[1]=14), so when I tried if
(in_array($string, $array) , echo $string did not return 14 as I had
expected; neither did if(in_array(14, $array) ... nor if(in_array(14,
$array). It still does not... actually, the screen goes blank.
So, what am I doing wrong?
Here's what is not working... I'm trying to reproduce the example from
php.net:
$selected = array();
if ( ( $results = mysql_query($sql, $db) ) ) {
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results) ) {
$selected[] = $row['id'];
}
}
print_r($selected);
$ex = 14;
if (in_array($ex, $selected)
echo br /yes;
else echo br /no;
Regardless if I put 14 into $ex or 14 or '14' or even if I put the 14
instead of the $ex into the if line, I get a blank screen. It seems tp
me, from what I see in the manual that this should work... or am I
supposed to know something that is not clear in the examples... ?

Echo out the value of $newmort just above the if statement. If it is
zero or blank, the if will evaluate to false.
Is there a second form field named newmort lower on the page? If so, it
will be the value of $_POST['newmort'] that you receive in the post.

in your case you should escape the $ sign... like this \$

If you're getting a blank screen instead of an error message I highly
recommend turning display_errors on and setting error_reporting to
E_ALL in you dev php.ini - that way you'll actually see error messages
rather than having to hunt through the code by hand.

[PHP] accessing level above $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
hi,
I have this structure:
/home/lamp/mydomain/html
/home/lamp/mydomain/logs
/home/lamp/mydomain/config
etc.
html directory is the only one accessible from outside.
to access config file I can use this:
required_once('/home/lamp/mydomain/config');
but this is the structure on my local/development machine. once the site
is done it will be moved to production server and the structure will be
/srv/www/mydomain/html
/srv/www/mydomain/logs
/srv/www/mydomain/config
etc.
to automate the document_root I define on the begining of the page
define('HTML_PATH', $_SERVER{DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
define('CONFIG_PATH', $_SERVER{DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../config');
define('LOGS_PATH', $_SERVER{DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../logs');
it works but I think it's not good solution. or at least - it's not nice
solution :-)
suggestions?

would do
it, but the tests I have run on it are 100% negative. The only
thing I
have not used in the tests is third parameter bool $strict
which only
affects case-sensitivity if the $needle is a string.
$strict has nothing whatsoever at all in any way to do with case
sensitivity -- $strict controls whether the values are compared
using
equality (==) or identity (===) tests. As is stated quite
clearly on the
manual page, in_array() is always case-sensitive.
This leads me to
believe that in_array() is either inappropriately defined in
the manual
and not effective on associative arrays
Complete rubbish -- the in_array() manual page is excellent and
totally
accurate, complete with 3 working examples.
I would really like to understand why my attempts to reproduce the
first
example just did not work.
Note also that the examples do not show in_array($string, $array)
My array was Array ([0]=6[1]=14), so when I tried if
(in_array($string, $array) , echo $string did not return 14 as I had
expected; neither did if(in_array(14, $array) ... nor
if(in_array(14,
$array). It still does not... actually, the screen goes blank.
So, what am I doing wrong?
Here's what is not working... I'm trying to reproduce the example from
php.net http://php.net:
$selected = array();
if ( ( $results = mysql_query($sql, $db) ) ) {
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results) ) {
$selected[] = $row['id'];
}
}
print_r($selected);
$ex = 14;
if (in_array($ex, $selected)
echo br /yes;
else echo br /no;
Regardless if I put 14 into $ex or 14 or '14' or even if I put
the 14
instead of the $ex into the if line, I get a blank screen. It seems tp
me, from what I see in the manual that this should work... or am I
supposed to know something that is not clear in the examples... ?

Actually, we have to call it a typo because i fixed that and the results
are exactly the same = blank screen. :-(
If you're getting a blank screen instead of an error message I highly
recommend turning display_errors on and setting error_reporting to
E_ALL in you dev php.ini - that way you'll actually see error messages
rather than having to hunt through the code by hand.
Duh, Stuart, I'm wet behind the ears, but that was one of my first
revelations - to use
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1); ;-)
But that's what's weird... if I comment those last 4 lines out, the
proggie works (or shall I say, limps; I still have other problems)
But the in_array just refuses to cooperate.

Re: [PHP] Multi-Sort -- how to do this?
Ash: You missed the point. I could use the built-in sort (i.e., sort() ) and sort the $d array. However, I would like the indexes of the other arrays to match the new sort. Cheers, tedd I think I might need a for-instance here, as you lost me! Thanks Ash Ash: You can sort any array by using the built-in php function sort() -- try it. After you try it, you'll find that the array is sorted but the order of the values are not as they were before. In other words, the index-value pairs are different. Here's an example: http://www.webbytedd.com//sort/ Before the sort, the value 'red' is located in the $a array under index 0 After the sort, the value 'red' is still in the $a array but under index 2. Note, the values of the indexes have changed. My query was simply how to sort one array (order it) while ordering the values of other arrays in the same manner. The multisort() function does that as seen here: http://www.webbytedd.com//multisort/ Cheers, tedd -- --- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] edit db fields
How to deal with pre-selected input fields. To edit db fields in a table, I have a page that is basically the same as an insert page to create entries in the db. The table displays all the entries for a particular book that is selected from a search page. From the search page results a link leads to the edit page throught the page id (...edit.php?id=2435, for example) . Here we already have a problem because the form action to PHP_SELF cannot work; so there has to be some adjustment, like incorporating the edit page into the search page. Next, it should be possible to change the inputs, but how? I think the use of sessions may prevent this - not sure - at present I get an undefined variable error for categoriesIN. The categories are generated dynamically from the db, but this does not work on the insert page either... they must be hard coded (at least I don't know how else to fix that). But if hard coded, then some code has to used to make the selected entries (about 35 categories). And then, how to change them if so needed? Anybody have some suggestions where to look for a model? It doesn't seem like a terribly difficult project, if you're pretty proficient at this. I have had some interesting suggestions; but it is difficult enough to just learn php/mysql and then to learn other platforms like smarty (??) seems rather challenging, to say the least.

put error_reporting(E_ALL) on the begining of you page you will get
errors, warnings and notices - if any.
errors and warnings stop the execution of the code. notice not. notices
are usually about not defined variables before you started to use them.
if you put error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE) it will not bother you. but

Re: [PHP] Multi-Sort -- how to do this?

However, I would like the indexes of the other arrays to match the new sort. Cheers, tedd I think I might need a for-instance here, as you lost me! Thanks Ash Ash: You can sort any array by using the built-in php function sort() -- try it. After you try it, you'll find that the array is sorted but the order of the values are not as they were before. In other words, the index-value pairs are different. Here's an example: http://www.webbytedd.com//sort/ Before the sort, the value 'red' is located in the $a array under index 0 After the sort, the value 'red' is still in the $a array but under index 2. Note, the values of the indexes have changed. My query was simply how to sort one array (order it) while ordering the values of other arrays in the same manner. The multisort() function does that as seen here: http://www.webbytedd.com//multisort/ Cheers, tedd -- --- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com I know about the sort() function, I just didn't fully understand the question.

RE: [PHP] isset question
The isset or empty, it's return a boolean (true 1, false 0), the isset will return true if the variable will have been initiated, the empty will return true if the variable is empty, but for that the variable need to be initiated. You can do it in a many ways, like: $msg.= (isset($_POST['mort']) !empty($_POST['mort']) ? The mortgage amount is $mort\n : ); or $msg.= ($_POST['mort'] == '' ? The mortgage amount is $mort\n : ); or $msg.= (strlen($_POST['mort']) 0 ? The mortgage amount is $mort\n : ); Yuri Yarlei.

[PHP] PHP 5.3.0RC4
Hello! we have packaged PHP 5.3.0RC4, which you can find here: http://downloads.php.net/johannes/ Windows binaries are available here: http://windows.php.net/qa/ This fourth release candidate focused on bug fixes and stability improvements and we hope to only require minimal changes ahead of the next release. Many, but not all, of the new features are already integrated in the official documentation on php.net. We aim to release PHP 5.3.0 next week. In case of critical issues we will continue producing weekly RCs. For most users there will not be a noticeable change meaning that now is the time to really do the final testing of PHP 5.3.0 before it gets released with any unnecessary incompatibilities with your project. Some additional links to get started: http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/NEWS?view=markuppathrev=PHP_5_3 http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/UPGRADING?revision=PHP_5_3 Best Regards, Lukas and Johannes PHP 5.3 Release Managers -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Why does simpleXML give me nested objects for blank tags?

LIBXML_COMPACT LIBXML_NOEMPTYTAG);
print_r( $xml);
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
echo bad xml;
}

I tried all those options above and none of them make a difference.
