wouldn't that be

return "The result of this function is: " . $result;

rather than echo?

Anyhoo, you haven't specified HOW you want to communicate the result of the
function to the browser.

A HREF is supposed to take you off to another page (amongst other things),
which might be what you're after.

JavaScript (*shudder*) is designed to provide client-side actions, so maybe
a javascript alert is what you want, or a pop-up window, or who knows what.

You need to decide what happens, in a story board fashion.

Remember, everything in PHP code takes place on the server, BEFORE the
browser gets it.

Example of using JS alert:

<HTML>
<?
function joe() {
    $temp1=10;
    $temp2=20;
    $result=$temp1+$temp2;
    return "The result of this function is: " . $result;
}
?>
<A HREF="#" onclick="javascript:alert('<?=joe()?>')">calculate foo</a>
</HTML>

but really, I can't understand why you wouldn't just do:

Why do they have to click?

You'll have to check all the javascript stuff and maybe massage it, because
I haven't tested this, and haven't written much JS in the past coupla years.

Beware of the limitations of relying on javascript for anything though :)

Hi, Justin.

Thanks very much for the reponse.
Yeah, this is a SUPER simplified form of my question, so please don't
expect it to make sense. Heh.

Basically, I have a php file with dozens of functions in it. I want ONE of
them to get called when a link is clicked.

Currently, I achieve this with the use of HTML forms. My form generates a
list of options. And the user has to select an option, then click the
SUBMIT button.

But I want to make it a one-step process, whereby the user only needs to
click on the option.

Of course, you can't achieve this in a form with JavaScript, but the
JavaScript code won't let me execute a server-side php function
(obviously).

And I don't want to just shoot the link off to another page (even though
that's what it was designed to do). I want to call a very specific
function.

Tricky, I know. :(

Easy

Your form when pressed the button submit will send the data from the form
via post (Which is the best method) to the functions.php with all the
functions. What you need to modify now is that all the <input type=radio>
need to be modified to "FuncToExec" name.

When you receive the input of the form, you just verify what $FuncToExec is
and execute the correct function.

<?php

if($FuncToExec == "joe"){
joe();
}elseif(...){
}

... (All functions in your file goes there)...

Now what you also want to add is that if your JOE function is to return
something, the IF ELSE calling that thing should intercept the value
returned and this part of the script should either do something with that
value or just redirect the value to another script by GET mode:

header("location: myresultpage.php?result=$result");

There, sorted that out right?

have fun

Hmm.

Hey, Mathieu. Many thanks for the reply. However, I currently AM using a
form. What I'm trying to get away from, is the two step process:

1. pick your option
2. click submit

I'm trying to get a one-step process, where the user can click on a link,
and that calls the function.

JavaScript won't work, because it's client side, and can't be used to call
a server-side php function (unless you tell me some neat trick I don't
know about yet). See my struggle now?

Then simple,

In your hrefs do:
<a href="myfunctions.php?FuncToExec=Joe">Execute Joe() function</a>

thats all there is to it

Hi, everyone.

There MUST be some creative way to call a user-defined PHP function from
an <a href> tag. Does anyone have any suggestions?

For example:

======================================================================
"> Click here to start "function joe()".
======================================================================

So, if the user clicks on the link, he'll see: "The result of this
function is: 20"

Any ideas? Any help would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks!

-- Michael

It is not possible to do it in one step.
The web server parses ALL the PHP code, generates HTML, sends it to the browser.

Check out http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/277/fid/40

Essentially you'll want to use this this combined with get variables hard
coded into your url. For example:

<a href="script.php?action=function1">function 1</a>
<a href="script.php?action=function2">function 2</a>

You can make the radio button submit the form... or you can actually make
the link a form and make it an "onClick" scenario to submit data. You can
simply do this like this (untested, but the idea works!):

attached mail follows:

So you want to load Page A, click on a link, stay on Page A, but execute a
function located in a script on Page B, without leaving A????

I've never done it, but I believe you call a javascript function which can
do it I think... maybe it's a POST form... sorry I can't be more help, but
I've never needed to do it.

If you can live with the page refreshing, then there's heaps of options.

Ok, here i made a function that can accept an unknown number of params.

In fact, it's a data interface for a mysql database, when i call the
object's constructor it is in possibility to pass any number of table names
from 1 to x. Now i got this other class called a data interfacer which sends
a certain number of tables to the data interface constructor. I tried doing:

$interface = new data_interface($table1, eval("$table2, $table3, $table4"));
$interface = eval("new data_interface($table1, $table2, $table3, $table4)");

and various other tries. The thing is i can't know how many tables can be
transfered from the data interfacer to the data_interface. So i could make a
if..elseif...elseif until i reach something like 10 tables but still, it's
not a good practice, i'm sure there is a way to emulate real parameters when
they are needed and skip them in the call if you don't have them.

Can anybody help me out?

Send the table list as an array then use count($array) to find out how
many in the list or just do a while loop on it.

Okay, do you understand, though, that PHP is server side and the browser is client side. PHP happens first, to generate the HTML code, that's evaluated in the browser on the client side. Once PHP generates the HTML code, it can't do anything else. It will take another page refresh or request to invoke PHP again.

That being said, in your href link, pass an ID saying which function to call. It can be the name of the function, or a number to relate to it. Make the action of the page the current page.

Maybe something like this is what you're after??

<? switch($_GET['ID']) { case 1: echo function_one(); break; case 2: echo function_two(); break; default: echo "<a href='" . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . "?ID=1'>Run Function One</a>"; echo "<a href='" . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . "?ID=2'>Run Function Two</a>"; } ?>

I run an online gaming fansite, and most people that visit my site want to know what would be best to raise their skill on. I started a script which basically takes numeric data (0-120) and pulls the information they need from my database. I got the easy part down, which you can see here:

http://www.tamingarchive.com/main/whattotame.php

The complete listing of everything within the database is listed here:

http://www.tamingarchive.com/tameables/

Basically, the script pulls the animals from the database based on their "min" value. Problem is when multiple people use the same animal for skill. If Joe tames it, it might be 59.1 required skill, but if Bob comes and retames it, it takes 63.9 skill (+4.9). I need to be able to somehow add creatures into my array that I just pulled from the database with the necessary amount added to the "min" value and sort it all by the "min" value. My desired output would be like this:

Rat -0.9 Sewer Rat -0.9 Cow 11.1 Rat (2nd) 3.9 Sewer Rat (2nd) 3.9 Cow (2nd) 15.9 Rat (3rd) 18.3 Sewer Rat (3rd) 18.3

My select statement just does multiple OR comparisons to see if adding the 2nd & 3rd retame values to the "min" value will still put it within my desired range. The "quality" part of the script is just a comparison on the "min" value.

I don't even know where to begin to add these modified values to my array. I'm awful with arrays anyway. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ahhh, good old UO. I remember GMing my taming, crazy what they've done to the game since I've quit (120 skill, insane!).

I'm not completely sure of a few things about your question and I think that I could help if you supply the answers to my questions.

Does one tamer's taming of an animal increase ALL animals by a generic amount (i.e., John tames "a cow" for the first time, then Bill tames it, then John tames "a polar bear" for the first time and, again, Bill retames it; do both examples raise the requirement 9.8 points or is it based on the animal)?

If it is generic the answer is simple, if not, it might get a little more complicated.

Thanks for responding. It turns out this is a known bug in 4.2.2 along with Apache 2.x.x according to the developers. The CVS snapshots seem to work, but I have moved back to Apache 1.3.x from the 2.x.x stuff.

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=php+4.2.2+cookie+bug&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl= en

So watch out for 4.2.2 if you use Apache 2.x.x. It seems to be okay with Apache 1.3.26.

Hi,

Using the following code snippet

function doHead() { header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s", getlastmod()) . " GMT"); if (func_num_args() == 2) { doTitle(func_get_arg(0), func_get_arg(1)); } else { doTitle(func_get_arg(0)); }

if I pass 2 argument into the function then I get the following error * Fatal error*: func_get_arg(): Can't be used as a function parameter

but passing 1 argument is ok as is using the following code with 2 arguments

function doHead() { header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s", getlastmod()) . " GMT"); if (func_num_args() == 2) { $a = func_get_arg(0); $b = func_get_arg(1); doTitle($a, $b); } else { doTitle(func_get_arg(0)); }

Is there a particualr reason for this or is it a bug? PHP/4.1.2 on Debian Stable (PowerPC)

I'm not sure if it will work, but you might try either using the mysql_fetch_array($result); function and then refer to them by $row["src1d"]; or try $div_idd[$m] = $row->$$name; where $name = "sub" . $m . "d"; I'm not sure if that will work, but it might be worth a try.

You can do what he said or just put a separate loop inside the original loop.

Depending on how you get the info, you can use either way (his would create less overhead if you are just using the same <TD> info every row, otherwise they're really the same because his way you'll have to create an array to access later for multiple rows, or just do my way and have the loop access the NEXT *3* (or whatever) items ...).

i.e., for (LOOP FOR <TR>) { for (LOOP FOR <TD>) {} }

Last nite I've came across a problem I wasn't able to figure out by my self. It's not difficult to make a loop that will make new *TABLE ROWS* (<tr>) to show several DB objects in a nice way. what I need to do, is to display 2 or maybe even 3 of this objects stored in a DB per table row, separated in different *TABLE COLUMS* (<td>). how can I achieve this? What I usually do is:

------------------------------ // DB QUERY $query = "SELECT * FROM table_name"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

// NOW THE LOOP for ($i=0; $i<$num_rows; $i++) { $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>"; echo $row[whatever]; echo "</td>"; echo "</tr>"; } ------------------------------

but how can I get 2 or 3 columns displaying different db objects? A loop inside a loop?

Is it possible download php scripts from webpages ? for example i need php.net scripts or others :-) If yes, how ?

attached mail follows:

You can't download a script when it is being parsed.

If it is not going to be parsed you can download it as text.

as for php.net , they have got a button on their site called: showsource

click it and have the source of any page you want,

No. Since PHP is executed on the server, the only thing that is sent to the browser is pure HTML (and client-sided scripts like JavaScript).

This means you cannot just get the source code of a PHP page by just browsing it.

You can use REPLACE instead of making two separate queries (UPDATE and INSERT) because it checks if it is there, and if it's not, then it adds it; otherwise it updates it. I think that's right ... but the SQL server's SQL server is broken! (the irony!)

That won't solve all of your problems, but it might help. Check up at www.mysql.com on how to use "REPLACE"

you can pass an unlimited number of variable through the array() constructor.

as:

data_interface(array($table1, $table2, $table3)) you can use an Array manipulation functions for that order too.

Hi, im making a tab/lyric portal, and for viewing tabs i want to display the time the lyric/tab was submitted. So I retrive it from a MySQL database (as a timestamp) and format it using the date function. The problem is, that the date: 19-01-2038 04:14:07 is allways returned, even though in the `date` field the timestamp says (as an actual example) 20020723200919.

Here is a shortened version of the script:

$link = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);

mysql_select_db($dbname, $link);

$get_resource = mysql_query("SELECT `artist_id`,`title`,`content`,`user_id`,`date`,`type`,`views` FROM `resources` WHERE `id` = $id");

$values = mysql_fetch_row($get_resource);

<?php $submitdate = date("d-m-Y H:i:s", $values[4]); echo("Submitted on $submitdate"); ?>

Hi Tony,

the date() function in PHP does _only_ take UNIX timestamps as an argument which means that you can not run such a timestamp as the above.

I recommend that you have a look at http://www.mysql.com/doc/D/a/Date_and_time_functions.html which describes the built-in functions for date-handling in MySQL. A function to look at could be DATE_FORMAT().

Jome

Replace your existent query with this one and try:

SELECT `artist_id`,`title`,`content`,`user_id`,DATE_FORMAT(date,'%d-%m-%Y %H:%i:%s'),`type`,`views` FROM `resources` WHERE `id` = $id

Alternativly you could store the dates as UNIX timestamps.

That is what I do. It is then eaiser to do certian things(ie show stuff released in the last month)

I store all dates in unix timestamp format. It's the easiest one to work with, and it's easy to do things like "date + three days", because it's just a case of adding the right number of seconds to the current stamp.

You don't have to split anything, or get substr()'s of anything... and since date() accepts unix timestamps AND is the easiest way to get date formats (for me), I reckon it's the best way to go.

Hi,

I have search around on google/php.net to try and find a way to remove <body>, everything above ,</body> and everything below it in a html page.

eg.

would become: Blah Blah Blah<br>

I know how to use php to convert html to pure text etc but I don't know how to remove the unwanted header and footer HTML.

I am pretty sure that someone must have done it(HTML file uploads for sites etc).

Thanks in advance and good night.
