PHP :: Easy PHP+XML Parser

OK This Is An Easy One For Someone!
I'm sooo new to this, but so far i have managed to create a form (like a
shopping list) in one page which looks like this where i can put quantities
in on one page.

Then it passes the form info onto my next page which displays a list and
totals. But how, pray, would I make it miss out items on my second page
where they have a value on null? You see I would rather just have the items
where I have actually given a value! Is it some kind of if else statement
possibly followed by the ! mark to reverse the flag or summat?

This Should Be Easy, But...
I'm trying to build a simple, one-dimensional array of prices, where the key
to each element is the product code.

So I start by executing a select query "SELECT Code, Price FROM Products",
and the results are returned in a two-dimensional array, $data, which I can
loop through like this:

while (list(, $value) = each($data))
{
$code = $value[0];
$price = $value[1];

I would have thought I could build my array here by writing something like:

$command = "$arr['$code'] = $price;";
exec($command);

But this doesn't work.

Is There An Easy Way To Do This?
I don't even know where this question classifies itself but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction:

If i have a list as such:

-NHL
-MLB
-NBA
-NFL

Is there a way to have an option like an 'onclick' where each item that is clicked gives a variable such as $clickedvalue the value of the item clicked while at the same time, routing to a function in separate php file?

1) So let's say i clicked on MLB
2) the variable $clickedvalue = item clicked (in this case MLB)
3) call a function in a separate php file for processing..
4) return to main script.

so far i know of the href=# but with it, i can't really give my variable a value.

Calculating Tim - Easy For You! =)
I found out that i can calculate the dates e.g

$today = strftime('%Y%m%d',mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d"),
date("Y")));
$yesterday = strftime('%Y%m%d',mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d") - 1,
date("Y")));
$dayBeforeYesterday = strftime('%Y%m%d',mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"),
date("d") - 2, date("Y")));
$dayBeforeTheDayBeforeYesterday = strftime('%Y%m%d',mktime(0, 0, 0,
date("m"), date("d") - 2, date("Y")));

and so on........

This works even if we have the 1st of August $yesterday gives me the 31st
july.

Can I do this with times also?

e.g. Iit it now 17:06 an i want to make minus 20 min (like abopve minus 1
day) and I want the result to be 16:46.
I tried the above example, wit %H%M but it does not work?

Easy If....question
I need to create a table of 4 columns x n rows. The number of row will
depend on the number of images for that specific page.

I think that I have to use de mod function saying that if (number of
image mod 4 equal 0 then start another row)

Well....first thing...I find the function fmod in the help that I
think that will be useful.

I wrote this small code, but it does not work

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($respuesta))
{
echo('<td width=15% align="center"><img src=" ' .$row["url"]. '
"></td>');
$i++;
if (fmod ($i,4)==0)
{

Easy Updates
I am building a website for a friend who is opening a business selling used vehicles. He would like to take a picture or two of a vehicle and display all of his vehicles on his site. Here's the catch. He knows basically NOTHING about computers. Sending email and browsing the web is about all he knows, and expecting him to be able to FTP images and edit html/php etc. is asking way too much.

I was thinking I'd use MySQL and PHP, and build an "Admin" section of the site for him where he would simply click a "Add Vehicle" button, enter the info, browse to the pic(s) and click submit. The page would write the corresponding entry into the database. I have 2 questions: 1. Is this the correct way to go about this? 2. If yes, can someone point me to a good tutorial for uploading and storing images in MySQL?

The PHP XML-parser Doesn't Like < Or > ??
I'm using PHP's SAX parser to parse an XML file and display it as a chat-style application.

However, to prevent people posting tags, I'm using htmlspecialchars() to convert <, > and ". These go into an XML document fine.

Once it comes to parsing, the parser seems to interpret < and > as actual XML tags though, and it messes up everything. Is this a known bug, or is there a way of combatting it?

DOM XML Parser
Can we parse Xhtml file using DOM XML parser of PHP. What i really want is this, I have an xhtml file and i want to edit/delete some of the contents in that xhtml file. Xhtml file is organized into parts using <div> tags. this is how it looks like,

<div id="book1">
this is the book introduction part.
<div id="part1">
This is the part introduction
<div id="sec1">
This is the section intrduction
<div id="subSec1">This is the sub section introduction</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

now what i want is to get the contents that resides inside the <div> tag and edit / delete that content. Which <div> tag to choose, is depending on the parameter i passes and the parameter i pass to the script will hold the <div> id . So according to that i know which <div> tag to choose. Can i do this using XML parser.

Easy Question: How To Know The ID Of A New Record?
I have the following problem.

I am adding a new record in a table.
How can I know the ID provided by the database of the new record?

suppose my table has 3 attributes:
* ID: automatically calculated by the DB server when adding a new record
* Val1
* Val2

I am using the Microsoft SQL server DB and the following code:
$conn=......
$q="insert into t_mytable values ('value1','value2')";
$result=odbc_exec($conn, $q) or die("".odbc_errormsg());

Now I need to send an email with the ID of this record, but I have an error
when I do this:
echo odbc_result($result ,"ID");
here is the error:
Warning: No tuples available at this result index

So I can't get the ID, even if the new record has successfully been added in
the db!!
Actually, I can't get any values of the new field.

Do you have any idea??
Is there another way to know the ID of a new record?

Dividing PHP And HTML - Maybe Easy
Summary:
Best way to divide out the HTML and PHP in some code I inherited. How can I
keep the HTML files separate?

Full Details:
I've now been working two weeks on PHP / MySQL code I inherited and the
client is a happy bunny. This was my first crash course outing with PHP, but
with basic PERL experience found it fairly easy to pick up and used the code
I inherited as my guide.

However, the current code has every page as being top half php, bottom half
HTML (with some embedded PHP where necessary)

Eg.
START OF FILE
<?php

do some general processing to set up variables
?>

<HR>


<!-- note that the current code does not even output a HTML HEAD tag - any
reason why this might be?--?
<? occasional bit of PHP ?>
<P>
End of HTML
END OF FILE

The HTML pages are ugly and they have very much hard coded formatting
information in them.
Hence the application is entire need of an overall.

What is the best way to approach this?
I really would like to keep the HTML parts in another file so they could be
editing in programs like dreamweaver to be honest. I obviously want to role
out the use of CSS so that I can change the look and feel quickly.

Is there a command in PHP that when the main processing is done you can
reference another file which contains HTML to be displayed but none of the
current variable information is lost.
I say this because if I use the header(location:) command I have to repost
the form variables which is pain.

Ideally I could just have the main PHP bit in the code, and when it is done
it references a HTML page that is displayed(That HTML page may contain
snippets of PHP). So functionally things still work as they are, but it lets
me put the HTML in a physically different file.

I hope this makes sense.

I'm a Visual Basic programmer, and am making a program that will enter data into a website. I do own the website, however I want the site to update (add the entered data to the bottom of the page) the page as soon as it is submitted.

Basically, I need a script that will add a string of text (entered in an on page textbox) to the bottom of the site.

With this, I plan on duplicating the post data in my program so that I can do this automatically to my website.

Writing Easy Script
Use a regular HTML page and form (I plan to have this in a small box on all my HTML pages) to submit the information: Username and Password

It will then check the username against like a csv table (or a txt file, or MySQL) and see where the destination is. Last of all it would go to the following url:
http://username:password@destination

So if we have John Doe visit my site he types in:

Username: johndoe
Password: secret

It then checks the table and sees that the user johndoe has a destination of "thetechturf.com/members/shg38 Last of all it sends him to the page:
http://johndoe:secret@thetechturf.com/members/sgh38

Form Validation :: Easy Way Of Doing?
I wanted an easy way to validate my forms in php. I didn't want to write tons of if loops and stuff each page since I have a ton of forms and stuff on the site I am making. So I decided to make a class based approach.

What I am really looking for is just feedback on the method that I've used. See if there was a better way to do things. Right now it registers a rule into an array and then the check function goes through all the rules to see if the form is valid or not, and then the errors are output if the validation fails. Code:

Time Worked On Easy But Not Now
When i started to build my site I used easyPHP. For those of you who dont know what easyPHP is, its basically Apache, mySQL and PHP all in one.

I've now bought the domain, webspace etc and somethings now not working correctly The trouble i am getting is that if i had a simple query such as:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT DATE_FORMAT(timeadded, '%H:%i) AS time1 FROM bands", $connection);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$timeadded = $row['time1'];
echo $timeadded;

If would work on easyPHP but it doesnt work now :-S $timeadded is empty. I've checked the database and theres definitely a value in there.

This problem is only occuring on the time. Its fine with dates etc.
