Calling A Php Function From A Form Selection List
I have a function that will read records from the database and populate an area of my webpage based on a value selected from a list box.
I have got it to work fine if the user hits a submit button but I was wondering if it possible to perform the function dynamically each time the user changes the value in the list box.

Populate A Drop Down List In A Form On The Basis Of A First Selection
I have developed a form to register a property in a db. The form needs the selection of a country and then based on that selection the selection of regions from the selected country. I have a program which allows selection of a country and then a region but it uses java script which I would like to avoid. I also just wanted one submit button if possible. Code:
Selection From A List Box.
php and have to implement this functionality to select a user from a list box. I have written the code for this, but the problem is after selecting a name and doing the required task, it again selects the first entry in the list box. So if there are 100 users, the 100th one has to scroll down again and again. I need to modify this code so that until the session expires, if a person has selected his name once, that name will be selected in the listbox until he changes it. <select name="name" style="width: 120px;"> <?php $query = sprintf("select * from person order by person_name"); $result = mysql_query($query); $i = 0; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $i++; printf("<option value="$row[person_num]">$row[person_name]</option>"); } ?> </select>
Selection Of Records In List
I was wondering how to query MySQL to display only a selection (1-20, 21-40) of a query in an HTML list. Can that be done in an SQL statement, or do you have to use PHP to dissect the returned array with for n elements to n+20 elements. How does Google achieve the returning of results in its search engine. I imagine that the same query may not necessarily be executed each page listing. I am wondering whether the results from the query would return an array of say 36000 elements.
Identifying User's Pick From Selection List
I have an application that uses PHP to access a MySQL table and extract rows which match the user's search entry. Data from the matching rows are loaded into an HTML selection list, and the user can scan the list and highlight a selected item. My question: In PHP, what is the syntax for identifying which row is highlighted? My goal is to pass the unique row ID of the selected item to a subsequent form where all the fields will be displayed for the user to edit. I already have the code that loads the selection list and the code that displays the fields. I just need to know how to determine the highlighted item. I have two PHP books, and both discuss loading the selection list, but there is no mention of what to do next.
Form Selection
I am working on a form right now that when you click a radio button at the top it will select a few of the other radio buttons. Here is the code that i have. I just dont know how to do this. I have never done this type of form before. Code:
Multiple Selection Form
I have made a multiple selection form, but when I select more than one option, it still only returns one. PHP Code:
Form Selection Target
I would like to design 1 php page where a dropdown list will appear. depending on the user's selection, it will go to the next dropdown list (the list will appear only after the first dropdown is selected) and so on.. .. at the end, a textarea box will appear that will display all the variables that the user have selected. How do I go about in making that happen?
Function/Global Var To Return Name Of Calling Function?
I'm sure I saw this somewhere but can't remember where and can't find it now... Is there a PHP function or global variable that will return name of the calling function? I want to do this for error reporting purposes without having to hardcode the function name into my scripts. Say the function is named getFunctionName(). I want to do something like... function foo() {
Calling TCL Function From PHP 4.3
I'm just picking up PHP, and am really appreciating the transition, however, I'm running into somewhat of a loggerhead. I'm trying to find a way to utilize our existing code infrastructure (primarily written in TCL), while providing an outlet for new technology (aka PHP). It seems that Tcl isn't really well suited for integration with HTML pages (Rivet is fine, but not as fleshed out as PHP seems to be). I was wondering if there is any mechanism in which I can make embedded calls from PHP to TCL libraries? My first priority would be for these processes to be somewhat embedded (ie: avoid using a cgi-approach to invoke a new instance of Tcl each time the particular page is requested via Apache).
Calling A Function From A Url?
I've got a function which echos the html for a page. the function is written asfunction sampleview($category,$imagepth){so it takes the two variables when called. This function is in a file called functions.php which is included on all of my pages. On one page I'm using Javascript to open up a new window which contains the same html as the php function.. I'm trying to transfer it all to php. The problem I've got is, I'm not sure how to use php to create a link that will open a new window at a preset size.. I can easily do echo "<a href="mypage.php" target="_blank">click here</a>but that will just open a new window. I need to specify the height and width of the window.. I also need the link to somehow call the function, instead of loading a page like; <a href="sampleview(mycategory,myimage)">click here</a>Is this possible?
Calling A Static Function.
I have to call a bunch of static functions where class names are stored in a array. So I have: $my_array = array("class_1", "class_2", ... and so on...) So I tried this piece of code to call static functions attached to each classes like that: foreach($my_array as $classname) $classname::MyStaticFunc(...);...
Calling A Thumbnail Function.
I found this function that converts images to thumbnails on PHP.net (http://www.php.net/manual/en/functi...copyresized.php). I am talking about last function on that page dated 21-Apr-2002 03:12. My question is: Do I have to compile it in GD library (like they suggest) or I can call this function from within PHP page? If yes how can I call it and what should I use for the parameters? Example of how to call this function would be very helpful.
Calling Function By Variable....
I have a function that pulls last 10 records from the database and formats it appropriatly then I need to assign that output into a variable named $content. That variable is used by other scripts when reffered to. Now my question....can I assign function call to the variable name...like that?? $content = any_function_name(); If so, how can I make sure that the function is not called right at the load of the page, but only upon the echo of the variable.
Db Connect And Calling A Function
I have database connect script at the beginning of my PHP page which sets the dbconnection. when I run a query in the script it works fine I have decided that rather than use the default error catch like this: $result=mysql_query($query,$db_connect) or die("There has been an error adding the appointment to the database.".mysql_error());which works fine I would call a function to handle the errors - particularly in the case of a duplication Code:
Error Calling A Defined Function
I was trying to use the mail class from 'PHP 4 Professional Programming from Wrox' but I get the error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: send() in /home/www/mysite/my_mail_class_test.php on line 17 The problem is that the send() function IS defined as you may see in the scripts below:
Calling Variable In Onchange Function
I am using a javafunction (onclick in select) in which i am calling a function in php (thats why i send this to both php and javascript newsgroups). in the onclick i call the function "Place_Selected" with the value from the select (naam_keuze.value) in the function the value becomes the $zoek_id and searches in the database for the record with the id of $zoek_id the naam_keuze.value does not give the value to $zoek_id When i replace naam_keuze.value for a number (15) i works great. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? This is my code Function Place_Selected($zoek_id) { include("data.php"); $link=mysql_connect($db_host, $username, $password) or die("Database error!"); mysql_select_db($database , $link)or die("Couldn't open $db: ".mysql_error()); $sql=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM specialismen WHERE id='$zoek_id'"); if ($sql) { while($blah2 = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) { $newsid = $blah2['id']; $sticky = $blah2['naam']; } } return("document.form.achternaam.value='$sticky'"); } <select id=naam_keuze size=1 name=keuze style=visibility:hidden onchange=".Place_Selected('naam_keuze.value').";document.form.voornaam.value =naam_keuze.value;> <option value=0>Kies $options </select>
Calling A Function Through User Input.
So heres yet another question to a problem where I would have no idea where to look for the answer for so I turn to you :) Say my sites administrator wants to write a news update or blog or whatever. Something like this "Added a new gallery from my trip to Phuket, enjoy: [GID=24] If you liked it tell me." I want the [GID=24] to get replaced by my galery loading function (very nifty and handy) so it would turn into something like this echo "Added a new gallery from my trip to Phuket, enjoy: ".galery($GID)." If you liked it tell me."; I chose this [GID=24] because it is similar to burning board code. I would also like to include a command like [PID=45] witch would run my picture function.
Calling A Function If A Query Is Not Successfull
I am using MySQL-Max (the transactional version of MySQL) in an application I'm working on. We've created a class that handles all the database access stuff, to make it easier to update the information for different users using the same app but on different databases. The class itself does not issue the begin; and commit; statements to commit the queries between begin and commit to the database, as a transaction can have up to 50 inserts. So to write stuff to the db we would use something like: Code:
Calling A Function Inside The SendMail
I have a function to send an email to a client after they have successfully submitted a form on my site. I have a 2nd function that prints their input to the browser as a confirmation. I'd like to be able to include that print function inside my mail message like this : function sendToClient($email) { $subject = 'Confirmation' -----> $message = printConfirm($lang); <---- $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . ""; <snip>, etc mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); } This way I don't have to duplicate the output. The confirmation will get printed to the browser AND the exact same content will be emailed.

Returning Variables To A Calling Function
I have a system wherein different scores can be entered by month. The details for the selected month are displayed, and with a calendar box or by left and right arrows the user can move the form to different months. I've done this via resubmitting on-clicks that load $_POST with the desired month and year. When details are entered and the 'Save' button is pressed, javascript changes the form action to another PHP function and then submits the page. Code:
Calling A Function Inside An Array Element Txt Str
Long story short – I don’t have access to a DB, so I’ve done what I think is the next best thing; I’ve defined my Web-link addresses in an external file (global variables) and I include the HREFlist in all PHP docs. Next, and the part that causes question, I made a (really spiffy) function that writes out the <a href…> part. I have an array of quotes from people who are saying things and I’d like to hyperlink keywords in their quotes. Ideally, this would mean several calls to the linkWriter() function. My initial attempts culminated with me finally throwing in the towel and I just hard-coded the HTML tags, although I was able to interject the global variables into the array variables so I didn’t have to hard-code the URLs....
Calling Session Variable Inside A Function
Related to my previous question on searching through an array, I discovered the issue. I have a session variable ($username) which I can not call inside my functions. I can call it just fine outside the function. Suggestions? Also, is it an issue because my array returns a column with the same name? **************************** function respond_check($qid) { include "db.inc.php"; $postchk2 = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM `answers` , `users` WHERE `qid` = $qid AND `a_uid` = `userid` LIMIT 0, 30",$db); while ($userx=mysql_fetch_array($postchk2)) { if (in_array("$username",$userx)) { echo "Got I finally Got ITT!!!!"; } } } echo "$username is cool"; // This works here but not within the function ****************************

Calling Functions From A Form Button?
Is it possible to call a function from a Form button, as I have a function that auto creates a form and I pass the values to it. Since doing this I can not reset the form as it reads the values and re-puts them back in. Is there a way to call a function or some other way to reset the form. I use the same page for all the changes using Switch to display different things. Code:
Getting The Function Name Of The Calling Function How?

Function List With Associated Extension
I want to create an application that will scan a series of .php files, look the functions availiable in them, and display which extensions it is using (don't know how to avoid user made conflicted name functions). Is there a table which has the name of the extension and the functions included in the particular extension..? Is there a way that I can get a new list if an extension upgrades and adds new functions..? And what about PEAR..? I don't really know how it works, but I think it adds some functions too. Can I do the same with the php extensions..?
ASP2PHP Function List Reference
PHP so I thought I would make a Reference List of some of the functions. Below is what I have so far.

List Weeks Of Year Using Calendar Function
I've been asked to design a small site which contains a page with a list of dates to show a visitor if accommodation (running from Saturday - Friday) is booked or available. Something like this: 2007 2nd Jan - 8th Jan - Available 9th Jan - 15th Jan - Available 16th Jan - 22nd Jan - Booked 23rd Jan - 29th Jan - Available 5th Feb - 11th Feb - Available 12th Feb - 17th Feb - Available etc, etc I'd like to dynamically create the list of dates using the php calendar functions and a mysql database so that each row (52 in total?) could be flagged 'booked' or 'available' allowing easy updating using a back end form. Ideally the page showing the list would have a link taking the visitor to another page showing the following year's dates. Each list would always show a year to view and always run from Jan to Dec.
List Subscribe Form
trying to make a simple subscribe form for an email list like so... $to = "news-subscribe@mysite.org"; mail($to, "subscribe", "subscribe", "From:$subscribe Reply-To:$subscribe"); but the email list never confirms the subscription by email so can't figure out whether its getting the email or not? nether the subject or body text are necessary, its the address that does the command, any ideas anyone?
Form Entry List
I have a form with one box into which users type a few words (an email address). That entry is emailed to me.

The result would be one text file with the entries listed down the page, one by one.

Dynamic Form - How To Set Values Of A List
I have a form with a list/menu in it that is populated with records from a database. The items in list#2 are based upon what is selected in list#1. I have been able to use a combination of php and javascript to get it to work, but the javascript reloads the page to get list #2 to refresh - and that clears out any other fields that have been filled in. Instead of javascript being called for the 'onchange' event for list #1, I'd rather it call php when list#1 is changed and so reset the values in list#2. OPTIONS: 1. I thought I could have a php function that is called (i.e. onchange="<?php reload();?>" but I can't figure out how to set the values of the list from within the php function.

Problems With Form Processing: Array_key_exists() And While (list($k,$v) = Each($arr))
I have an HTML form I'd like to process. <select name="items[]" multiple> <option value="doughnuts">Hot Doughnuts</option> <option value="coffee">Hot Brewed Coffee</option> <option value="tea">Hot Tea</option> <option value="cake">Sponge Cake</option> <option value="chips">Hot Chips</option> </select> The problem I have it where I follow the Programming PHP book: // Should the 's' be the name of the select tag, or the name of // the submit button? if (array_key_exists( 's', $_POST )) { $selected = "User selected these options: "; while (list($k, $v) = each($_POST['items'])) { // Is $v "doughnuts" or "Hot Doughnuts"? $selected .= "$v " } // ... }
Retrieve Array From FORM List Of Values?
I have created a form where a user selects 2 items from a list of 8 values. That form field is called "choices" and returns a value to the php file as $choices. This form posed no problem when I only allowed a single item to be selected, but the client now needs to have 2 items selected at a time. The problem I'm having is that I don't know how to turn the multiple selections on the form in to an array. I thought the $choices variable would automatically become an array, but Using[color=blue] > for ( $i = 0; $i<2; $i++ ) > echo "$choices[$i] ";[/color] only returns the first two letters of the last selected item value. And [color=blue] > foreach($choices as $articles) > echo $articles. ' ' ;[/color] Returns an invalid argument. While echo $choices returns the second item selected in the list, but not the first. It appears that the variable is replacing the first item selected with the second rather than returning an array.
Putting Form Error Messages Into A List

Retrieving Contents Of Select List On Form Submit
On an HTML form, I have a select list that is fed dynamically with detail records when the master record is displayed on the form. There is also a second lookup list, and want to allow the user to dynamically select from this list and add to the first list. I also want the user to be able to dynamically remove from and reorder the first list. I think I can do all of this with JavaScript. The question I have, is how can I retrieve the contents of the first list when the user submits the form? I need to get it back into a php array so I can update and add the proper database records.
Displaying Data From Mysql Database In A Drop Down List On Form.
I'm trying to do is display data from two different mysql tables from the same database in a drop down list on a html form. I have a fixtures table with the player1(userid), player2(userid), gameid, game, score1 and 2, what I want is to use the userid to get the players first name and surname from the members table (as it is a unique id), I need to do this bit before displaying it in the drop down. I think i need 2 querys to do this but when I have tried it it just echo's a blank value or the userid not the forname and surname that I want. I'm using the fetch_array function but just can't see where I'm going wrong, Code:
