Re: [PHP] Date Formatting
Use this:
function makedate($format, $indate)
{
$temp = explode(-, $indate);
$fulldate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $temp[1], $temp[2], $temp[0]);
$temp = date($format, $fulldate);
return ($temp);
}
and call it with this:
makedate(F d, Y, $row-datefield);
where $row-datefield is the variable of the date field in your table.

RE: [PHP] scrolling data from db
Hi Eddie, iFrames do offer a really nice solution, but they are an IE only tag. Although I can't vouch for the latest Netscape, I know that the older versions simply ignore the iFRAME... tag, and leave a blank spot in its place. If you know that your client base will ever only use IE, then go for it. Otherwise, you'll have to avoid the iframe. Peter At 03:17 PM 11/20/2002 -0500, Edward Peloke wrote: Thanks Peter!

Re: [PHP] date
Eddie,
This is a function that I wrote to handle this same situation:
# --- Function to format date output ---
function makedate($format, $indate)
{
$temp = explode(-, $indate);
$fulldate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $temp[1], $temp[2], $temp[0]);
$temp = date($format, $fulldate);
return ($temp);
}
Call it like this:
echo makedate(m/d/Y, $myrow[departdate]); # returns 11/30/2002
echo makedate(F d, Y, $myrow[departdate]); # returns
November 30, 2002
You can use any of the standard date formatting commands in the function call.
HTH!

Re: [PHP] Seconds to minutes
Bob,
Instead of dividing, use modulus to get the exact number of remaining
seconds, and then determine the minutes from that.
Here is some code that I've quickly adapted from another language I use, to
take the total minutes, and convert it to hours:minutes display.
$totalmins = 193;
$showmins = $totalmins%60;
$showhrs = ($totalmins-$showmins)/60;
echo $showhrs.:.$showmins;
I haven't tested this, but it might give you a start. The same concept
would apply to converting seconds to minutes...

Its only for measuring short times, so Matt's suggestion should work ok.
Ideally though, because it will crop up from time to time, it'd be the go to
do it right the first time.
Anyone else know of a better way?

You can do something like this:

$seconds = 265;
$time = date('i s',$seconds);
$minSecs = explode(' ',$time);
echo {$minSecs[0]} minutes and {$minSecs[1]} secondsbr\n;

That doesn't work for anything over 3599 seconds, though...

RE: [PHP] Thoughts on a simple search engine...
Chuck,
Setup your form like this (assuming search.php is the name of your page):
FORM ACTION=search.php METHOD=post
INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=step VALUE=2
.
/FORM
Then in your search.php page, use this structure:
# --- set $step to passed value, or else set to default ---
if (isset($_GET[step])) { $step=$_GET[step]; }
elseif (isset($_POST[step])) { $step=$_POST[step]; }
else{ $step=1; }
if ($step==2)
{
# --- do the Search query and display results here ---
# after displaying, then set step=1 to force the search form to
come up again at the bottom of the page
$step=1;
}
if ($step==1)
{
# --- put the form here... ---
}
I use the step variable all the time in controlling page flow, and
allowing me to re-use the same .php file for many similar purposes to keep
the file count of the site low.
HTH,
Peter

Re: [PHP] How do I use a Javascript variable in PHP?
Tom, JavaScript is a client side language, while PHP is server side. This means that the PHP is parsed and evaluated before it ever reaches the surfers browser.

Re: [PHP] date functions
Patrick Off the top of my head... Convert both date1 and date2 to unix timestamps, and subtract one from the other. That will give you the number of seconds between them. Then, convert to hours, minutes, etc as required.

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP source code
A solution that I use is to put important information in an include file, and store it in a User-Authentication protected folder, ie. /admin/ This adds one extra layer of protection to your files, and keeps the average joe-surfer from being able to get the files.

[PHP] Efficiency
Which is more efficient?
a) a sql loop where everything is displayed/formatted using echo stmts,
like this:
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM news WHERE active=1);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
echo TRTD$row-title /TD/TR;
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?
OR
b) a sql loop where you break in and out of php tags as needed:
?php
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM news WHERE active=1);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
?
TRTD
?php echo $row-title; ?
/TD/TR
?php
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?
Obviously, these are really simplified examples. Typically the html code
gets much more complicated.

RE: [PHP] Date-format
Thanks everyone for the helpful answers.
I agree that manuals are useful, but there are times when an example works
better.
I took all of this information, and some details from earlier posts about
dates, and produced the following function to make it easy to format dates
without have to go through and change sql stmts.
# --- Function to format date output ---
function makedate($format, $indate)
{
$temp = explode(-, $indate);
$fulldate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $temp[1], $temp[2], $temp[0]);
$temp = date($format, $fulldate);
return ($temp);
}
The function gets called like this:
makedate('Y/m/d', $row-articledate);or
makedate(F d, Y, $somedate);
Hopefully this will someone else with their date challenges.

I know everyone love to quote read the manual and forget that we[newbies]
are only asking here because we need help...so here you go...
You can do the following...
DATE_FORMAT IS THE MySQL Command
And let say you want to format your date as the following mm-dd-yy(US) or
dd-mm-yy(the rest of the world).
By the way this are format keys
%m the month in numbers,
%d the days in numbers,
%y the year in number
%M spells out the month
%D gives the date with th, rd, nd all that
%Y gives all four numbers
So you do the following sql statement...
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(yourdate, '%m-%d-%y') as youwanttocallit FROM yourtable;
So in your php code you can do this from your MySQL statement...
$youwantcallit = $myrow[youwanttoit];
? echo $youwanttocallit; ?
Advance note
then if you don't want to show 00-00-00 you can do this...
if ($youwanttocallit == 00-00-00) {
$youwanttocallit = nbsp;;
}
that way you don't have a bunch of 00-00-00 showing up.
I hope that helps, because that is what the maillisting is for and not to
always quote Read the Book.

[PHP] reuse database connections
Another question about efficiency / using server resources: In another language I use, I can re-use an ODBC connection to make further queries/update/etc to the database to save the overhead of closing and reopening the connection to the db over and over. It works sometime like this (in the other language): iSQL DBNAME='xxx' LOGIN='xxx' SQL='some query' # opens the connection ... display results... iSQLMORE SQL='some other query' # reuses the connection display other results /iSQL # closes the connection Is there an equivalent in PHP to this, using the mySQL set of tags?

Re: [PHP] Processing PHP in Template File
John
Include your template this way:
$file_name=templates/somefile.php
$New_Content1 = 'This is the new text';
$New_Content2 = 'This is the other text';
include $file_name;
In the template file, have ?php echo $New_Content; ? etc wherever the
content should appear.
Then you can put other php code in the template file as well.
I use this all the time.

Hello everyone.
I want to implement templates in a site, but am having trouble processing
php within the template file. The application flow is as follow:
-open the template file (which has some place holders) with
$fileHandler = file($file_name)
-Replace placeholders (within the template files) with
$fileHandler = ereg_replace(--PlaceHolder--,New content,$Handler)
//disregard syntax errors...
-Then display the content of the modified template
$fileHandler = implode('',$fileHandler)
echo $fileHandler;
The above process works, as far as replace the place holders, and printing
the new content (which is an HTML file). However, it will not process PHP
scripts, within the template.
For example, if my template has
.. ?php echo hello!; ?
blah blah blah
the above process will display the PHP code within the HTML file, without
processing.
How can I process the PHP codes that's in the template?

Re: Fw: [PHP] Re:[PHP]question
Meltem, You're much better off to use JavaScript to perform the form validation. This way, when the user clicks on the Submit button, JavaScript can make sure that values are filled in, or that they are within range, and can then pop up a message advising them of any errors, and that they can't continue until the info is corrected. This saves the hassle of you having to create a system that will send details to/from various pages, and the user doesn't have to fill in the entire form all over again, as their values stay on the page.
