PHP :: Repeating My Background

Repeating Box
I have this code which displays a cart on the righthand side of the page. Basically I want to take the cart and display a copy of it below the original.

I will eventually be editing this cart to show different information but I seem to be having problems with just copying the php code and pating an exact copy. I get the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/bromi/public_html/ifooter.html on line 182

However line 182 is blank and is the last line of the code. Code:

Random $var Repeating.
I'm trying to pull random lines from text file and print them from calling a variable but everytime I call the variable it pritns the same thing. Here is the code:

<?php
$var = file("vars.txt");
$returns = array("", "");
$var = str_replace($returns, "", $var);
foreach ($var as $num=>$line) {
$var[$num] = strtolower("$line");
}
$n = sizeof($var ) - 1;
$var = $var[rand(1, $n)];

echo $var;
echo $var;
echo $var;
echo $var;
echo $var;
echo $var;

?>

This prints:

line3
line3
line3
line3
line3
line3

When I want it to print each line randomly, like:

line9
line2
line6
line2
line1
line6

Any changes you can see in that code?

Prevent Repeating Entries

Repeating Data In A Column
I am having problems repeating in the "Availability" column. The result which goes in the column is done in the math below the query so its not in the recordset. How would I get this information to repeat? Currently, it lists the same value as the first record called "Test Program". I have attached a photo to make it a little clearer.

<?php # /programs/index.php

// Connect to the MySQL server and database.
require_once('../mysql_connect.php');

// Query the database for user information.
$query_programs = "SELECT program_id, program_name, DATE_FORMAT(program_date, '%M %e, %Y at %l:%i %p') as convdate, program_coordinator, program_seats, program_registered FROM programs";
$programs = mysql_query($query_programs) OR die ('Cannot retrieve program information.');
$row_programs = mysql_fetch_array($programs);

$number1 = $row_programs['program_seats'];

Forms With Repeating Fields
This is probably a simple question but as a newbie I just aren't sure the best way to do it. I'm developing a site with a shopping cart type feature, items added to the cart are inserted into a database and then I want to display the cart and allow the user to delete items or change the quantity of any items.

I could have each cart item within its own form with its own 'update' button but I'd like to just have one form for the whole cart and one 'update' button if possible so when the form is submitted it goes through each record on the form and deletes the records that have the delete checkbox checked and updates the records which have changed quantities. I'm just not sure how to achieve this - Do I need to get my code to dynamically name the form fields (eg. ProductID1, ProductID2 etc.) and then how do I get it to loop through my form records?

Sorting A Repeating Region
1. There is a list of products stored in mysql each with a unique auto increment ID
2. There is a repeating region (yes created in dreamweaver) don't hate! This repeating region is a simple div that repeats with each product in it's own div.

I've got some ideas on how to sort this. Which would anyone here recommend?

1. Create a sortID that the user can modify through a form
2. Create a drag and drop using PHP and AJAX

Or is there some other standard way to custom sort these products.

Strange Inconsistences When Repeating A Query More Than Twice In A Row
Here is a small sample program I wrote in PHP (running off Apache
1.3.31 w/ PHP 5.0.1) to help illustrates problem I'm having. The data
base is using DB2 V5R3M0. The client is WinXP machine using the iSeries
Client Access Driver ver 10.00.04.00 to connect to the database.

The problem is that executing the exact same SQL select statement more
than twice int a row stops produces results. The first two instances
will always produce the correct results but after that it will simply
return with no results found. I've also wrote the exact same test case
with other various ODBC APIs with the same results.

I've examining the ODBC driver trace log and I am unable to find any
noticable differences between a SQL statement producing the correct
results and one that produces a no results found message. I've tried
three different ODBC driver versions and have the same results.

NOTE: This doesn't occur for EVERY select statement but it does occur
for different files with various WHERE clauses but I've been unable to
determine any relationship between working and non working repeating
select statements.

Simplifying Repeating Database Connections In A Class?
I wrote my first PHP class today. Yeah!
But to get it to work, in each function within the class I have to
repeat the database connection lines, and that just seems redundant;
there has to be a better way that I'm just not bright enough to think
of.

(It's the first 3 lines of each of the two functions below. When I have
it fully written, there will be about 10 similar functions, each
repeating those three lines.)

class e_test {

function gettech() {
include('../Connections/userDBconnect.php');
$db = mysql_select_db("printing", $connection) or $error .= "Could
not select database1: " . mysql_error()."";
$dbconn = $connection;
// CREATE TECH ARRAY
$sql_T = "SELECT email FROM tbl_users WHERE dept = Ƈ' AND
active=Ƈ'";
$result_T = @mysql_query($sql_T, $dbconn) or $error .= "Could not
query1: " . mysql_error()."";
$count_T = mysql_num_rows($result_T) or $error .= "Could not select
query2: " . mysql_error()."";
$i_T = 0;
while ($row_T = mysql_fetch_array($result_T)) {
$email_T = $row_T[email];
$techs .= $email_T;
$i_T++;
if ($i_T < $count_T) {
$techs .= ",";
}

In Background
Here's my situation. I'm creating a website (basically a store) and in the admin section users will want to download zip files of images or products added in the last 7 days, last 2 weeks and the last month.

I have scripted a cron to run every 24 hours to zip all the images and this process takes over 1 minute (there's over 6,000 images!!) and the size of this is 250MB. This has now taken me to my quota on my webspace of 500MB (including all the individual images)

I have decided the only way to do this is dynamically create the zip when the user requests it. As PHP times out after 30 seconds it needs to do it's stuff in the background and display a message saying something like' We'll email you with the zip file in 5 minutes or so'.

Run A Php In The Background Using Http
i have a script (script1) which needs to call another script (script2).
It should not wait for the answer, so script2 should run in the background.

I really need to call the php script using:
http://urlof myscript/script2.php

I don't want to use it as a cgi and use CLI.

I did a test with fsockopen and curl and a timeout of 10 seconds and call
http://urlof myscript/script1.php from my browser:
Script1 stops after 10 seconds => OK
Script2 has been called by script1 and continue to run in the background
=>OK
After 60 seconds Script2 is killed by php!! => KO :(

The script is working fine if i call http://urlof myscript/script2.php from
my browser. It needs around 120 seconds to finish.

Why is it stopping after 60 seconds when I use fsockopen and call it from
script1?

Here is the script in SCRIPT1:
$fp = fsockopen("$host", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
stream_set_timeout($fp,10);
if (!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno) 
";
} else {
$out = "GET $path HTTP/1.1
";
$out .= "Host: $host
";
$out .= "Connection: Close

";

fwrite($fp, $out);
$status = socket_get_status($fp);

while (!feof($fp) && !$status['timed_out']) {
echo fgets($fp, 128);
$status = socket_get_status($fp);
}
fclose($fp);
}

I have added this in SCRIPT2:
ignore_user_abort(FALSE); // becareful, FALSE really means it should ignore
user abort !!!
set_time_limit (120);
ini_set("max_input_time",120);
ini_set("max_execution_time",120);

Do you have any idea?

A Way To Get Current Background?
I have several websites running on a global script. Some pages, the backgrounds black, other, white. Sometimes people have the taste of posting black font on a black background, or white font on a white background.

What I wanted is to know if theres a way to 'check' the current background color? Because I can then add in the script to 'change' any incorrect colors before posting. I'm not sure if theres a way for PHP to tap into CSS and check, but it would be alot easier to change the global script since its *Checking* for the background color rather then me do it per site and change it manually.
