I always name my input fields after the entity names ( eg. input type=hidden name =user_id value= ?php echo $resultRow['user_id'] ? ). I suppose I am still in the phase of learning efficiency, and perhaps trying to 'get out it' by writing functions that I can just call and pass parameters instead of fully learning the core concepts. I just think functions are so damn cool :) I'll echo what the others have said about the parameters. For me personally, if I am passing more than three parameters (sometimes even three) I rethink my function. I'm not sure what you envision using this function for, but the approach I use for forms and databases is always arrays. I get an array from my forms, I insert that array into the database, and of course I fetch arrays out of the database. These are all indexed the same with the index as the field name of the table so it's easy. -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com There are pro's and cons to this type of thing. In general that is how I do it too, but you have to be aware of security and organization. It's not always smart to expose your DB field names directly so you might want to obscure them for some critical values. If your passing from one controlled function/method to another then this isnt an issue so much. I also follow the ruby/rails ideal where tables are plural names (users) and classes are singular names (user.class.php). Tables always have fields for 'id','created_on','timestamp','enabled'. Except in 'glue table' cases (1:n or n:m). Classes extend a base class which handles a lot of the minutea including the magic __get() and __set() routines as well as knowing what table they should be through introspection (ie. Their own file name). No need to name your fields as arrays. $_POST is already an array. You've just added more complexity/dimensions. When you submit your form just pass $_POST to your function instead. In the function, is where you should do any normalizing, scrubbing and unsetting (as per good MVC ideology)... The way I normally do it I learned from the CakePHP framework which is very similar to (I think an attempt at a clone of) Rails. I'm not sure if they do it the same way in Rails, but as you were mentioning, in a Cake view of a form they use the table name as the array name (name=Users[username]). Internally to the framework this may make things easier, but imagine you have a page with 2 or more forms that update different tables, or if your form had some fields that you wanted to check after submission but are not DB fields. The $_POST array will ONLY contain the key/values for the FORM that contained the submit button. form name=form_add input type=text name=foo value=bar input type=submit name=action value=Add /form form name=form_update input type=text name=bee value=boo input type=submit name=action value=Update /form So if you click the 'Add' button, you get back: $_POST['foo'] = 'bar', $_POST['action'] = 'Add' if you click the 'Update' button, you get back: $_POST['bee'] = 'boo', $_POST['action'] = 'Update' where's the confusion? You can only submit one form on a page at a time. Why would you use the entire POST array? Presumably, anything in the form is of some value to your database and you'd want it. Otherwise why is it in the form? I guess I was going for multiple tables and not multiple forms. Consider a form that takes input for a Users table and a Groups table. As for the inputs not needed by the DB, there are too many examples I could give with lots of inputs, but here is the simplest example I can think of: username password captcha rememberme Presumably you don't need the

He could have his entire problem solved if he would only read and follow the documentation instead of throwing stuff together as if it will somehow work. This reminds me of my first memory when I was two years old. You see, I had a wagon and I wanted it to run like cars do. I knew that my wagon didn't have what it took to make it run, so I started throwing stuff into it in the hopes that somehow everything would come together and the wagon would automagically run. Well... it didn't run! So, I stopped trying to solve things that way when I was two. I'm just surprised how long it takes others to discover that simple fact.

Re: [PHP] question about smarty
I'm not sure where is the problem, but can't you just define every changing part in your template as variables and assign them as needed from php? If you need to change the image url, just make it a variable, like in background:url(images/{$img}) Then you just assign the variable as needed in each file: //template1.php $img = 'mi_image_1.gif'; $smarty-assign( 'img', $img ); //template2.php $img = 'mi_image_2.gif'; $smarty-assign( 'img', $img ); That way you don't need to use the {if} inside smarty and make your template lighter.

C:\xampp\htdocs\sites\template2.com where i have .htaccess index.php and siteconf.php 2. C:\xampp\htdocs\sites\_templates\templates\template2 my question is the look and feel when i access http://localhost/sites/template1.com and http://localhost/sites/template2.com is the same the only thing that needs to be done is for template2 when i access http://localhost/sites/template2.com ONLY the header image should be different compared to the header i have for http://localhost/sites/template1.com this is the only change i need i am not aware as to the php code i need to write so that when i access http://localhost/sites/template2.com the header image changes and this new header image remains for the entire pages of http://localhost/sites/template2.com presently in header.tpl of template1 is written as follows {if strpos($Data.KEYWORD,rv rental) === false} div class=header style=background:url(images/header_{$siteData.COUNTRY3}.gif) no-repeat top left; {else} div class=header style=background:url(images/header_{$siteData.COUNTRY3}_rv.gif) no-repeat top left; {/if} /div so i need to chane the {if} {else} where i need to mention that if i am accessing http://localhost/sites/template2.com then the header image should be different. any help will be greatly appreciated. please advice. thanks.
Re: [PHP] Preview button to show PDF without submitting post data?
You could just open in a new window a php script that generates the preview pdf with a content-type header for pdf. header(Content-type: application/pdf); Or if the preview pdf is not dinamic, just point the url to the pdf. No javascript needed, just a link, o a submit button on a form with the url as the action attribute. If you need it to open on a new window, use target=_blank, or better target=pdf if you want consecutive requests to open in the same window instead of a new one everytime. Note: if you are not using transitional html and care about validation, the target attribute is not allowed. In that case you would need javascript to open a new window.

PHP Users, I have a page that generates a PDF document using PHP. It takes form data filled in by the user to fill out the PDF When the user clicks submit, it emails that PDF document to the intended recipient. However, I would like to add a preview function as well. But for a variety of reasons, instead of submitting the form data through post and re-filling all the fields with the selected data, I'd like to be able to open a new window with an example PDF without actually submitting the form. I think this might need JavaScript, but I'm not sure. Is this possible?
