Hello, I am using OO prepared statement. I need to count the number of rows returned and echo out the rows.

I have set up some "ajax" with a form. The form takes username/password/email address which inserts into the database from the external "Adduser.php" script. My question: How do I alert the user? I've tried this: $message = "wrong answer"; echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('$message');</script>"; But don't think I can alert the user from the external php file. Any ideas?

I'm making a kind of browser-based application with PHP and MYSQL. I've got most of the basic bits in place, so it's functional, mostly. There is a lot of work still to be done, though. Refactoring in some places, features to be added, etc. Literally no styling at the moment. Part of the reason I'm making this is as an example of my ability for my portfolio - I'll be putting the code on bitbucket/github when I think it's suitable and will continue to improve it from there. The other reason it's something I want to use for myself. Recently I've found some job descriptions for remote/contract work (junior development) I'd like to apply for - obviously being able to show t…

Hi all. Haven`t seen a topic like mine so hope everything is ok. I have one problem. Recently I was working with my access database and added a lot of info into the document. I `ve got to hand over month report soon I`m working all day and night long. Don`t know why but my PC got BSOD. After that I tried to open my document and see error “Operation failed - too many indexes - reduce the number and try again” What should I do? How can I fix this? Is it because of the size of the document? It`s about 10 gb. My Office 2010 worked just well until it happened. So, any suggestions?

I have a table 'preferences' and 'allowed_preferences'. 'preferences' has a column for 'allowed_id' which is a foreign key for 'allowed_preferences'. Hence, a preference must use a valid id from the allowed table to be added. I have a form on a page which submits user preference values to be added/changed/deleted. I want to prevent any invalid values from being sent to the database in the first place, so am using the following code: foreach ($post_vars as $name => $value) { foreach ($allowed_preferences as $pref_name => $values) { if ($name === $pref_name) { $post_vars[$name] = array( 'name' => $name, 'allowed_id' => intval($values['id']), …

Hello all, I had to uninstall WAMP the other day, but when I tried to reinstall it I was shown a prompt that stated 'Aestan Tray menu has stopped working'. I've googled this and I've reinstalled the Microsoft C++ studio as advised and made sure the IIS is unchecked on my 'Turn Windows features on or off'. So everything should be OK but it still will not install. I also uninstalled SKYPE as I read that could conflict with WAMP but it still displays the same error message and won't install. I'm running Windows VISTA Home Basic. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Hello all, I'm trying to create three routes for my URLs using CodeIgniter. I've put them into my routes.php stored inside my application/config folder. Here's the code: $route['default_controller'] = "welcome"; $route['404_override'] = ''; $route['home'] = "home/login"; $route['test'] = "test"; The default route and the home routes both work fine but the test route doesn't work. The test doesn't have a parent folder as it's a controller and I thought with the 'welcome' route being a controller and stored inside the same folder as my controller it should mirror that one. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

I have a lot of 404 errors being generated on my site which looks like they're coming from HEAD requests of images. They all look like this: "HEAD/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/joeblogg@2x.jpg" Doing a quick Google search this sounds like possibly a setting for Mac Retina displays so I guess if the request comes from a device that supports retina display it will attempt a HEAD request for a higher resolution copy of all the images? Has anyone encountered this before and know how to resolve it? I've updated retina.js to the latest version so hopefully this will help. Thank you.

I wrote a nice function to get all the images inside a directory and display them - spent over an hour on this, it even performs checks to make sure it is definitely an image file and nothing malicious. I was so pleased! However, I have just suddenly realised that not entering the image information manually means they have no alt text. Is it at all possible to kind of attach alt text to an image file that you can then get the information for? Probably no...?

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how to connect to a REST API i have been provided and integrate to a magento web store. I have never worked with REST before and my knowledge of API's stops at basic paypal level with the form post method. Needless to say i dont know where to begin or what i should even be reading up on. The API i have been provided is http://docs.rxverification.apiary.io and my basic understanding is i need to collect customer info and pass it on to the API where results will then be displayed for the customer to select. Where would i start with this and is there any resources i can read over? Thanks

I'm new to databases and am making an application type-thing for myself and my husband to use, as practice, and hopefully proof of my skills at some point. I'm having a hard time getting my head around how to structure the database. This is a food tracking application. So far I have a table for user profiles, foods and recipes. Each user profile has username, password, and preferences such as calorie allotment etc. I need a way of storing information for each day. So database foods used, any calories added in separately, and daily totals. Not sure how this would usually be done. Would you have a table for each day, prefixed with the user id/name and date, …

Hi, does anyone know where I can find a list of all Mac models so that I can use them in a drop-down list on my site? A bit like on MacTracker or on EveryMac.com, or also on Crucial.com. I could of course type down these lists myself, but I thought there may be a faster solution. I know that you can buy databases like these for car models for example. At least I've seen them. They're used on sites that sell cars or also car parts for example. Thanks.

I have used a "borrowed" simple PHP script to create a nice Contact Me page on my website at www.ve3oat.ca.

I'm trying to load all my follow buttons under a global php variable $follow. It was working until lines 13 - 20 was entered. It seems php has a problem integrating a script into it's vibe (not sure if it's a statement here?). I put the twitter script outside and in the html file below the $follow php variable and it works, but this does not work with facebook. I noticed I was getting errors around line 20 \'script\', \'facebook-jssdk\'));</script>'; and this was from the single quotaion marks; which I solved by using the escape character \ prior each occurence. <?php $follow = '<div class="g-fol"> <div class="g-follow" data-annotation="…

Hi! I have some problem probably with one of my apache conf. files, but I'm not quite sure. I work as part of a team. We have a test server set up and a repo. I pull the files, start the work on my localhost. The site I am working on has several server aliases, like admin.puba.lh, m.puba.lh, and static.puba.lh. Of course the site is puba.lh. Admin is for the admin panel, m is for the mobile version, and static, is where the fonts are coming from, as far as I can see it. I do only the sitebuild part, not the php. My problem is, that FontAwesome is not showing on my localhost.I have checked the urls where the site is trying to pull the font files, when enter the url in …

Hello all, I've googled everywhere to find out how to convert a DateTime($var_name) into a string, (I need to use the string inside a natsort() function, but whenever I put the date variable inside the function it throws an exception stating cannot convert date to string). I've google everywhere and all I find is the complete opposite. All the pages are how to convert a string to a Date format and not the opposite. Does anyone know how to convert a DateTime object to a string? Thanks in advance.

I may be developing a new site shortly, given that the replacement for the old site is not looking like it will be delivered. I intend on starting from scratch and so am already thinking of the coding strategies I should be putting in place. When I originally built the site I used a single index.php file, which connected to the database and held the SESSION START. Through a series of $_GET statements and a SWITCH, the index.php would load other pages as required. This meant that the structure of the site was hidden from visitors. I also used procedural PHP and not Object Orientated; avoiding the need at the time to get my head around the syntax. I am still not…

Hi everyone, I'm quite new to PHP, and I've recently reconfigured my website to use global PHP headers and footers. This involved changing all my pages from the .html extension to .php. I have included code in the .htaccess to remove the .php from the URL of my pages, but for some reason this now results in my PHP email form not working. Instead of processing a message sent through the form, the result returns the $feedback_page when the submit button is pressed. Here is my .htaccess code: Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews # Turn mod_rewrite on RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / ## don't touch /forum URIs RewriteRule ^forums/ - [L,NC] ## hide .php extension …

I'm just doing this as part of a course to learn PHP, so it probably doesn't really matter anyway, but I'd like to have good habits from the start. I'm learning to create a CMS and I'm creating a page to edit user details. I have two password fields so the user has to re-type it, and they will be compared to see if they match. I'm stuck on what to do with them. Should I compare the fields first, and if they match go on to password validation for one of them? Or should I pick a field (which though? Does it even matter?) and validate the password, then if there aren't any errors see if they match? At what point do I check that both fields are filled in? :/

Hello Webdesignerforum.. I'm currently working on extracting specific parts from a different website. My plan is to get the html source code and extract the part with preg_match I need.

Before upgrading to EXCEL 2010, I am able to open dbf files created in Visual FoxPro 7 or 9 in Excel 2003. I am not sure why after installing EXCEL 2010 I am no longer able to open the file. I get the error message when I tried opening the dbf file in Excel 2010 "the file you are trying to open is in a different format than specified by the file extension" I have tried opening the dbf file via the File Open method but it still cannot work. If I copy the file to a lower dbf format (type fox2x) then I am able to open the file in Excel 2010 Does Excel 2010 support dbf files created by Visual FoxPro 7 or 9?

Hey guys, I am doing some reading on --save and --save-dev because I want to gain more understanding about the topic but I feel like all the explanations are missing more examples to differentiate the two meanings. For example: Testing modules to use --save-dev and production module to be --save. I felt like this would be a good topic to discuss with people about to gain a better understanding about it?
