Lists The Files In A Directory Echo Names Without Extension
I have an open directory document which lists the files in a directory. Is there any way to echo the name without the extension. $dir = $_GET['artist']; if ($handle = opendir($dir)) { while ($file = readdir($handle)){ if ($file != '.' && $file != '..' && $file != 'info.txt'){ echo "<a href ="$dir/$file">".$file."</a>"; } } closedir($handle); }

Updating Lists On Page
The problem is that I am displaying all the rows of my table which have the value of the field 'approval' as 0. Now, there are to be 2 buttons next to each row with names "Approve" and "Disapprove". If you click on approve, then the value of 'approval' for that row becomes 1 and if you click on "Disapprove" , the value of 'approval' becomes -1. How to accomplish it ? as the list being viewed will be changing very often. Code:

Saving Selection In Drop-down Lists In PHP After Page Reload?
I can't find an answer to my quesiton anywhere. Given a drop-down list with USA states and other text fields I pass this information for further processing via PHP. If any of the required fields is empty, the PHP script would return an error and reload the form page asking to fill out those fields. All entered information is saved... except for the drop-down list selection. I tried to write a Javascript function which is echoed by PHP, but interpolation of PHP variables in the Javascript section gives a syntax error message in Javascript. The PHP script returns, e.g., an "AL" string for Alabama. Of course, I don't want to write PHP code for each option to make it selected.

Sort Files In A Folder
I've got a bit of a problem. I found a script that reads files from a folder, and I modified it so that it can read image files and give extra info about them. but it only sorts the files by alphabetical order; I want it to sort them by date as well. I've been tinkering with it, but all to no avail. I only got it to sort the files by reverse alphabetical order (rsort()). Here's the whole script: <?php $folder = 'http/path/to/folder/'; $imgdir = 'absolute/path/to/folder'; $allowed_types = array('png','jpg','jpeg','gif'); $total_images = count(glob("$imgdir{*.gif,*.jpg,*.png, *.jpeg}", GLOB_BRACE)); ?>

Sort Files Newest To Oldest
Assume the paths to some files are already stored in an array (in no particular order), dynamically created but equivalent to: $imgArray[] = '/server/images/1a.jpg' $imgArray[] = '/server/images/2a.jpg' $imgArray[] = '/server/images/other/1.jpg' $imgArray[] = '/server/images/other/2.jpg' $imgArray[] = '/server/images/other/3.jpg' // etc. Is there an easy way to create a new array, ordering the files from newest to oldest.

Lists Files In "http" Path
I just got a quick question. Basically what I want to do is scan a directory and write a bit of info to a database based on the files in that directory. Now that is easy to do, and I know how to do it. The thing I am having problem is getting it to scan a directory like "http://google.com/files/". That directory is browseable so thats not an issue. Im guessing that there is a different command to browse a directory with an "http" path.

Session - Sort ALL The Columns Then Transfer That Sorted Table To A New Page For Printing.
I'm not fully conversent with sessions and I suspect they are the answer to this problem but I cannot figure this one out yet. I have a table with data drawn from a database and some calculated on the page. e.g. 1 Name | Score 1 |Score 2 | Average Score where average score is calculated on the page. 2 Name | Score 1 |Score 2 | Average Score 3 Name | Score 1 |Score 2 | Average Score 4 Name | Score 1 |Score 2 | Average Score etc. Can I carry this data to a new page without having to call from the database again. The reason is that I want to sort ALL the columns (which I can do already) but then transfer that sorted table to a new page for printing.

Re-Directing Back To "Sort After" Page&
I am using sessions and a MySQL user database to restrict users to certain pages on a website. If the user has not logged in and tries to access a protected page they will get the login page. Now if they are trying to acess a page like specials.php and they have to logon to access that page, then they get the login page and they then enter login details to access it. If their login is correct, I send a header Location to the Index of the site. How do I direct the user to the page they were looking to access(specials.php) without getting directed to the index.php page. I want to implement this function to all the restricted pages. I know its something pretty simple... maybe keep the url of the "sort after" page in a variable and then re-direct to that page after login ? Can someone give me a hint Thanks

Replacing Linked Files In A Page?
trying to come up with a system which will strip out all files on a webpage and replace them with the correct url for said file, this is for use in an include system where i can fake the urls. ie. everything on my site goes through the main index.php file so http://www.mysite.com/index.php is the same as http://www.mysite.com/this/is/a/fake/url/ because this/is/a/fake/url/ is passed as a variable to the index.php (using a modrewrite) which finds the real url in a database and then includes() it! now because http://www.mysite.com/this/is/a/fake/url/ might correspond to http://www.mysite.com/project/1/ all linked files on the page will be lost unless absolute urls are used. Now to avoid absolute urls i want to go through the page, replace all filename with the correct url and then echo out the page. now its the parsing of the page that concerns me, so far i've done this..

Display .txt Files On Html Page
I tried to ask this query a while ago but it didnt show up. Apologies if im double posting. I would like to devise a method where a site owner can update their own site easily by uploading a text file (news.txt), which then displays within a set width iframe in the news.html page. What would be the php code to do this? Its seems like it should be really simple but im a complete beginner at php! What i'd like even more is to have a password protected page (or any page would do!), where the user can enter their new webpage content into a form, which then writes to the news.txt text file, and displays that new info on the news.html page (again in a scrolling iframe probably). Am i making any sense? I have no idea if this is possible or not, but would really appreciate any pointers or maybe even code?

Why Do Files Using The 'include' Function Always Appear At The Top Of The Page?
I am having trouble with an include file. The file that I am including in my web page controls a random flash banner rotator. All that you have to do is add the following to the page and the banner is displayed: <? php include("http://www.xxxxxxx.com/yyyyyyy"); ?> The problem I have is that the flash banner always appears at the very top of the page, but it should be appearing where it is told to, which is half way down the page within a table I have set out. I have tried the following but I get the same result: <?php $file = file_get_contents("http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/yyyyyyyy"); echo $file; ?> Can anyone help? Are include files automatically set to appear at the top of the page? Am I missing something?

Creating .xls And .doc Files With Page Breaks Using PHP / MySQL
Our company currently processes a few hundred form submissions through our site. Up till now, the contents of the form has been sent to our customer support staff in real-time. Each submission goes to a general e-mail box where it's printed through our mail client. A copy of the form is also stored in a MySQL db, although it's not used that often. I have been asked to figure out a way to stop delivering the form submissions in real-time and migrate to the following: Each morning, provide an Excel spreadsheet and word document (or PDF) with a certain number of form submissions to each customer support rep. For example, say 200 form submissions were processed the day before. This morning, I should split those 200 among the 5 support reps and provide each of them a certain amount (which can change daily). Assuming each person gets 40 form submissions, each person would need to be given an excel file and .doc document that contains their 40 form submissions. One of the most important things is that the .doc file needs to have each form submission separated by a page break, so that when they print the document each form submission is printed on a separate page. Finally, not all of the fields from the form submission should be given to the support rep. Maybe date and time is left off.

Link To Local Files Through A Dynamic Page
I decided to flesh out my php skills by building a web application which could scan through local files on my intranet (specifically mapped drives on my server) and generate a list of Movies or pictures or music, etc. Which worked fine, I created the code to do that and to store the results in a mysql database. I can even print it out to a ..php page and sort it however I like. What I can't seem to do is to create links to the data I've indexed in a way that will let me open them from the generated php page. I've searched and searched and there just doesn't seem a way to do this. I'm pretty sure I've exhausted the obvious options. The following trials did not work when the document was served from an apache web server. <?php echo "<h1><a href=file:///c:/temp.txt> HEY </a></h1>"; echo "<h1><a href=file:///c: emp.txt> HEY </a></h1>"; ?> <a href=file:///c: emp.txt target="_top"> temp.txt </a> <a href=file:///c:/temp.txt target="_top"> temp.txt </a> When the same page was loaded directly from the file instead of served through apache the bottom two links worked. This doesn't really help me however. I need to be able to dynamicly generate pages that link to the files. I've read that browser security is the restricting factor in this but changing all of my security settings in IE to low didn't seem to affect it (not sure what the equivalent of security settings is in Firefox). Does anyone know of a way to link to local files directly in a way that lets you open them directly from the source instead of by downloading them to a temp file or saving the file to somewhere locally? Is it even possible in PHP?

Making Next Page Display When Uploading Files
I have a page that uploads up to 8 images at once. On the next page I have a processing animated gif that I would like to show while the images are being processed (resized, renamed, uploaded, etc..). I have tried using flush() and ob_flush(), but only the top of the page will display. In other words I click ok and the page freezes for a few seconds, then it goes to the next page where the work is being done and the animated gif is and only the header of the page shows, like where you see PHP Builder header on this page..the rest of the page doesn't display untill all the work is done. I have flush() and ob_flush() all thru my page like 10-15 times..at the very top, at the bottom, in the middle etc.

What would be the best way to repeat the code without repeating all of the code. Basically looking at an more economical way to do things.

PHP And Drop-down Lists
I want a simple HTML drop-down list like this: <select name="select_1"> <option name="option_1" value="option_1" selected="true"> <option name="option_2" value="option_2" selected="false"> </select> to be able to automatically select a value according to a value in a table in the database. For example, if a MySQL table has a field named "field_1", and one of the rows has a value of "option_1" in that field, I want the list (using PHP of course) to automatically select the option name "option_1". How would I go about doing that?

Maintaining Mailing Lists
I've few doubts; I'm asking two problem here. 1st, can we use PHP for maintaining mailing-lists. Say, we've 1000 users, need be e-mailed a subscription newsletter i.e. $message is same, loop through e-mail array in db. 2nd, Web site search. We maintain database after reading files using PHP and manipulate results from db. Question is, if PHP is a solution for these problems, also, when users' ( 1 ), keywords' ( 2 ) dbs grow big! There is also a limit of a PHP script execution. In 1st case, PHP has to parse, suppose 10k subscribers, and generate 10k e-mail for sendmail program. Is PHP feasible for such things. What else, is a better and professionally used solution. I don't know CGI? Perl?

Less-expensive Way To Set Up Defaults In Lists Etc?
I'm currently setting up default selections in <select> lists by passing an array of those defaults as keys ( 'valuefoo' => true ) as an argument to the function that sets up the list. Then, as I build each <option>, I call array_key_exists ( thisoptionvalue, arrayofdefaults ) to check whether to include the 'selected="selected"' string. So the code looks something like Routine ( array( 'valuefoo' => true, 'valuebar' => true ) ) ; ..... function Routine ( $defaultvals ) { for ( $i= etc. ) echo '<option....' . ( array_key_exists( 'curroptval', $defaultvals ) ? 'selected="selected"' : '' ) . etc ' ; } (I've elided a lot of syntax, but you get the idea) That seems slow and tedious. Does anyone know a cheaper way?

Quote's Invoices Lists...
I need someone to bounce some ideas off. This is what I'm trying to do, I want to be able to create a script that will spit out a quote based on the information filled in. The part I'm stuck on is. Entering all the items in. Ok, say I have a form, it starts off where you put in all the details (eg, who the quote is for address phone no etc.) Then there will be a list of items to go onto the quote. Now this is the part I'm stuck on. I'm thinking maybe something like an add new item button that opens a new window and then you enter in the details for each item. This then adds each item to the quote. Each item that is entered can be added directly to the database. So what I'm thinking maybe is a popup window that you fill in the details for each item, you hit submit, and then it goes back to the origional quote page, but now with the item added to the list. Maybe is there java script where you can open a new window and then refresh the parent window when the child is closed? this would then have the items listed.

Of course, out of the multiple items selected only the last one gets inserted. From what I have read, the selection must be turned into an array then looped for this to work. Is this correct? Next how would I code this to work right. If you let me know which code to post, I will post it.

Drop Down Lists And Textfields
