Creating A List Of Numbers (143-160, 172-181 Etc)


I have a list of ID's that I would like to compile a easy to read list of ID's. Instead of listing out the numbers like

143,144,145,146,147,148,.....

I would like a easy to read list of the ID's grouped together like below. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Creating Page Numbers
This is what i'm essentially trying to do.

I'm reading a load of rows from a DB (lets say 97). I want to show 10 rows in 1 page. so that would be 10 pages with 9 having 10 entries and 1 with 7 pages.

I start off with reading all the entries at once. so i get 97 rows and store it in $result.

The first problem i have is how to get the number of pages. 97/10 returns 9.7 - is there any way i can get 9? I've found that the only way to do this in PHP is with


$pages = (( $numberOfEntries - ($numberOfEntries % $numEntryPerPage)) / $numEntryPerPage);

Secondly, how would i go about making the links to the page number on top? like say 1,2,..9,10

and Third, how would i read those from the $result? Like when i click on 2 how would i go about reading rows 11 to 20?

Php Syntax In Building A List Of Numbers
i'm trying to build output that will get used to build a file, containing groups of numbers seperated by commas, with each group seperated by a space. Confused ? It should look like this. 0,30 9,12,17 1,2,3,4,5 * *

that's right, it's going to be a cron file eventually. it's going pretty well except for.... this is the segment that will build one clump of numbers - the 'hours' group of the line in the file. this code is the submitted to by a form containing a number of fields called 'cbHour[]' PHP Code:

Create A No-scroll List With Page Numbers ?
I have a site that lets users select a list of music based on genre etc. so each list could be made up of different tracks every time (www.makin-trax.co.uk), especially as I'm adding new tracks each month.

I'd really like a way to stop all lists from scrolling, if they are longer than the visible page. I know everyone has a different amount of viewable space on their monitors, so I need a way of restricting the list to a max of about 15 tracks per page, and a way for the user to select which page from that list they'd like to view (eg prev next first last particular page number etc.)

This is a fairly new music site, so at the moment the only list that goes past the bottom of the page is the dance genre but, as I mentioned earlier, I'm adding new tracks so all genres will become too long for a single page at some point.

Creating A Live/logged On List
Is it possible to determine the currently logged on users? I have a login section of my site that is controlled by sessions and would like to display a list of the currently logged on users.

I did think of creating a 'live' table storing userids and adding/deleting when they login/logout. Logging in is ok, but how do you maintain the list if they just close down without letting me call the relevant unregister session functions?

Creating A Linked List Of Wmvs
I have a place to ftp wmv's

I need some sort of script that will basically just list the filenames of the content of the folder, and the ability to make them links as so you click and the wmplayer opens the files.

i'm going for simplicity here, i tried using ftp via a weblink, only problem there is to get permissions to where they need to be you'd have to chmod all day. back n forth.

i've seen these before, I'm trying to avoid turning it into an automated system via forms and sql.

Creating A Product List Page!!!!
I was able to retrieve information from the database but I get an error message that says "Notice: Undefined variable: SubCatID "  and I can`t get my list to display right. I wanted my SmallIMG to be on the right and my and my ProductName to appear right beside it along with the UnitPrice.

Removing Numbers From A Set Of Numbers
Say theres a limit of number choices from 1 to 10. (not including 0)

Now these numbers are buyable so say some one buys number 7.

With a query or what ever is needed i need to find a way for the screen to then display:

1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10.

As you notice 7 is not missing.. but it could be any number and more than one number that has already been taken... How can this be done in PHP and MYSQL or will it require some other script?

List Contents Of A Folder, Make List Of Links
Does anyone know how I can write a script that:

- reads in all the files in a particular directory
- displays the file names in a html list and makes a link of them:
<ul>
<li><a href="filelocation1">filename 1</li>
<li><a href="filelocation2">filename 1</li>
<li><a href="filelocation3">filename 1</li>
</ul>

etc.?

So basically it creates a list of links with the contents in that directory,
so you can download them from there.

Get List Of Messages From One Table, Message List Indicator From
I have two tables. One has a list of messages left by users using fields named mbxno for the mailbox and msgno for the message number. I have another table that has mailbox settings for each user that contains a field named "messagelist" to indicate if they want to be included on the message list or not.

What I'm trying to create is a list of the most-recent messages with a lookup on the users table to indicate whether a message in the list should be included in the message list based on the user's mailbox settings.

SELECT messages.msgno, messages.mbxno, users.messagelist FROM messages, users WHERE (users.messagelist = &#391;') ORDER BY msgno DESC LIMIT 100

What I'm getting, though is a list that looks like this:

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1

I think what's happening is that I'm using the wrong type of join and more rows are being created than necessary.

If I add "DISTINCT" to the query, I get a list of the most-recent messages as I expect, but the "messsagelist" value is sometimes wrong (again, probably because the data is getting jumbled). For example, the messagelist value for the second row (2214) should be 0, not 1.

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2214 msgno: 0412141622 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2189 msgno: 0412141408 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0003 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2265 msgno: 0412132029 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412131950 msglist: 1

How should I be doing this? If nothing else, what kind of join will work with a long list compared to a value from a short list?

Random Numbers In Php
I am trying to develop a banner ad rotator on my site. I DO NOT need to know the precise number of ads served per banner.
Therefore, I do not want phpAds as it would be overkill and slow down my site.

I have 3 banner spaces per page. Currently, I have 4 different sponsors. I just wanted to run a random number mechanism so that every tme the page is requested, 3 out of the available 4 banners are chosen automatically. So my current doe (pusedo) is something like this:

seed...
rand...
if($x=1){
banner1
banner2
banner3
}
if($x=2){
banner2
banner3
banner4
}
if($x=3){
banner3
banner4
banner1
}
if($x=4){
banner4
banner1
banner2
}

Is this the best way? I do not see his method as being very scalable as it requires me to manually input the possible combinations. I only need a simple solution that is scalable to many sponsors but since I do NOT need to know exact impression levels (all sponsors divide up the impressions equally), I do not want to use MYSQL to "kill a fly with hammer."

$new_width=$_POST['new_width'];
$existing_width=$_POST['existing_width'];
$existing_height=$_POST['existing_height'];

$new_height = ($new_width/$existing_width) * $existing_height;

The above returns too many digits
I need to round it to the closest inferior number if not equal to .5 or to the superior number if above .5

I do not think that the round function can be used or I do not find the correct way to use it.

Numbers In Forms, 0.5 Vs .5
I am (have) wrote an intranet industrial app that requires the user to
enter a number which is compared to a high and low limit. If the low
or high limits have a 0 in front of the decmial the entered value must
also.

The actual comparison is done in javascript as pasted below. If a
return true is given then the data is written to the database.

ex

low limit 0.5
high limit 0.6
entered value .55 is returned as OUT OF TOLERANCE CONDITION

whereas entered value of 0.55 is returned as GOOD!

For the time being I have consoled my users to be sure to enter a
leading 0 when dealing with decimals.

How do I correct this, such that .5 and 0.5 are considered valid
entries?

if ((document.testform.actual_value.value <
document.testform.upper_limit.value) &&
(document.testform.actual_value.value >
document.testform.lower_limit.value))
{
alert("Data Good

Writing the Data
to the Database")
document.testform.pass_fail.value="P"
return true
}
else
{
input_box=confirm("Click OK to record a NC or Cancel to Re-enter");
if (input_box==true)
{
// Output when OK is clicked
alert ("You clicked NC, TAG the item as REJECT (RED)");
return true
}
else
{
// Output when Cancel is clicked
alert ("You clicked cancel");
return false
}
}

Random Numbers
Does anyone know how to make $rand(0,3) very common, $rand(4,6) rare, and
$rand(7,9) extremely rare and link it to echo one number?

eg:

blah 3-3 blah would be very common or 2-2 or 2-1 etc.

Also, if it helps, the 0-3 has a 75% "success rate", 4-6 has 40, and 7-9 has
10.

Php Switch - Between 2 Numbers?

I can add php into result because it's not inside javascript. like:

maintab1
maintab2
maintab3
