I am using RsForm pro on Joomla 3.5. I am working on a form where I submit the data to an API.
RsForm has it's own syntax for posting data. For example:
If I have a text field called requester, I post data using following syntax:
$_POST['form']['requester']
For a drop-down with time values, its:
$_POST['form']['time']['0']
Similarly, I need to post an attachment. But I do not find the syntax to do so on RsForm documentation nor am I able to post a question there since my colleague who owns the credentials to login to RsForm site is on holiday. Hence I post the question here.
Also, it looks like after upload the file is renamed. I would like to add a piece of PHP code which can rename the file and I can store the file name in a variable which I can use in the call to the API.
Any help here would be appreciated, since I need to finish the form as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Pooja
After doing a complete research on this I came up with the following
While creating an attachment you will get an Attributes Tab. To generate a prefix dynamically you can specify the code in between the //<code> and //</code>
For example
//<code>
return $_POST['form']['name_field'];
//</code>
Check this snapshot
If you want to keep the same file name without any prefix than simply do this
//<code>
return '';
//</code>
These files can than be easily linked the way you have said in the comments. For more details you can check this link https://www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/rsform-pro/form-fields/file-upload.html
EDIT:
To get the absolute path to your attachments you can use this
$path = JPATH_BASE .'/components/com_rsform/uploads/';
$uploadfile = $path . $_POST['form']['attachment'] ;

I have successfully managed to append a record to a .dbf file using hasumi's php-xbase extension in PHP. However, the .fpt file containing memo data disappears every time I append a record.
use XBase\Enum\FieldType;
use XBase\Enum\TableType;
use XBase\Header\Column;
use XBase\Header\HeaderFactory;
use XBase\TableCreator;
use XBase\TableEditor;
use XBase\TableReader;
use XBase\Column\ColumnInterface;
$table_ed = new TableEditor('file.dbf',['columns' =>['pk','itemdesc']]);
$record = $table_ed->appendRecord()
->set("pk", 11111)
->set("itemdesc","");
$table_ed->writeRecord($record);
$table_ed->save()->close();
The memo data would be in the "itemdesc" column, which after debugging, seems to have correctly registered as a memo field. No errors appear to indicate any issues.
Have I missed something that can update an .fpt file? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Right now i am working on a Codeigniter project in which I am sending a link to the user to update their password, every thing is working according to the plan. Now all I need to know is that how can I extract data from URL that the user is following to update password.
Example:
http://localhost/ciauth/user/password_reset/user#gmail.com/6f1bb1aeba261e92c390ac28d85267767038703e
I want to extract the code after the E-mail ID.
Never mind i have solved it doing
$url_code=$this->uri->segment(4);
This is okay. But it will be better if you implement it with your action function:
public function password_reset($email, $code){
// $email: user#gmail.com
// $code: 6f1bb1aeba261e92c390ac28d85267767038703e
}
Try this, From this you can do extract full url, Place below code to your password_reset() to see your url extraction
echo'<pre>';print_r($this->uri->segment_array());die;
Never mind i have solved it doing
$url_code=$this->uri->segment(4);
I really need help. I'm using an API to gather artist information depending on the artist name ($artist_name = $_GET['artistname']).
I need to add the API results into an array and store it into a file (NOT a database). This file will be ever growing as more and more artist entries are added to it.
Once I have an array in the file, I need to be able to read it and parse it. That way I can display the information without repeatedly using the API.
I have figured out how to add an array to a file with one entry, but how can I add more keys into the same array?
This is what I'm using now...
//ARRAY
$artist_info_location_array = array($artist_name => $location_entry);
//FILE
$artist_location_file = get_template_directory()."/Database/Artists/info-location.json";
//GET ARRAY FILE
$get_location_array[] = json_decode(file_get_contents($artist_location_file), true);
if (is_array($get_location_array)) {
if (!array_key_exists($artist_name, $get_location_array)) {
file_put_contents($artist_location_file, json_encode($artist_info_location_array));
}
}
It prints this to the file:
{"Imagine Dragons":"Las Vegas, NV, US"}
That's cool, but I need to be able to add more artists to this SAME ARRAY. So the result should look like this with another artist added:
{"Imagine Dragons":"Las Vegas, NV, US", "Adele":"London, UK"}
That shows Imagine Dragons and Adele both added to the same array.
Can someone help me "append" or add extra keys and values to the same array as they are added to the file?
Thanks.
EDIT 1 (In response to Martin):
I have a panel on the side of the page in question. This panel will show relevant information about the artist that has been searched for. Let's say you search for the artist "Adele". $artist_name would = Adele.
Lets say I'd like to store all artist locations, I would use the example I posted to store each artist location in the file called info-location.json ($artist_location_file).
So every time an artist page is loaded, the artist name and location would be added to the array in the file.
If my example doesn't make any sense, please show me an example on how to add multiple entries into ONE ARRAY. I am using an API and would like to cache this information to use instead of requesting the API on each load.
Hope this makes sense. :)
I might be misunderstanding your question, but if you just want to read in a json file, add an associative array key to it if it does not exist and then put it back into the json file why dont you do something like this:
if (is_array($get_location_array)) {
if (!array_key_exists($artist_name, $get_location_array)) {
$get_location_array[$artist_name] = $location;
file_put_contents($artist_location_file, json_encode($artist_info_location_array));
}
}
file_put_contents will overwrite an existing file (pretty sure). But your best option is to use a database. If you can't do that, then I suggest to prevent writing to the file while you are doing this I suggest you use fopen, flock, and fwrite and then fclose
I've been trying to solve this problem for days without success.
I am using blueimp Jquery File Upload and everything works fine but I need to save my pictures in different folders depending on a parameter send by url like /index.php?customer=160
<input type="hidden" name="customer" value="<?php print $_GET["id_cliente"];?>">
I created the hidden field in the form and got it in the uploadhanndler.php.
/files/'.$_POST['customer'].'
, here everything goes ok, the file is saved on the folder I wanted, but the next time I open the window /index.php?customer=160, the files listed are the files/ folder not the files/160/ folder or the number I want to list.
I realized I could use the PHP user directories, and the files are beeing saved in a folder like this 6afa0f7338b14aeed39eb7656f364b4e that comes from the session_id(), I tried then to change the session_id() with the number of the folder I want this way at the begining of the /index.php?customer=160
session_start();
session_id($_GET['customer']);
but the files are still beeing saved in folder 6afa0f7338b14aeed39eb7656f364b4e, and when I print the session_id() is 160.
PHP user directories is a good method to achieve what I want? what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance and excuse my poor english.
The code below will show you how to save a session ID called customer_id and then use it as a folder name. Please let me know if you need any more help.
// start (or restart) the session
session_start();
// set the customer id session var
$_SESSION['customer_id'] = // set this variable something that you've retrieved from the DB
// create a folder if it doesn't already exist
$dir = '/httpdocs/mySite/customers/' . $_SESSION['customer_id'];
if (!file_exists($dir)) {
mkdir($dir, 0777, true);
}
even it has been a while since a last answer has been given to this question, I'd like to give a small update on that issue. Since version 5.17 of the jquery-file-upload library ther is a support for user-directories.
Within the UploadHandler.php you will find the option 'user_dirs' => false. Just set it to 'true' and you will have user-directories based on session-id.
If you want to have your own user-directories not based on session-ids, but e.g. based on user-id (your own defined Session key) you can proceed in the following way:
within the index.php file (as stated in the Demo of the jquery-file-upload library) you place following
right after "require('UploadHandler.php');"
class CustomUploadHandler extends UploadHandler {
protected function get_user_id() {
#session_start();
return $_SESSION[*<your own user id session key>*];
}
}
followed by:
$upload_handler = new CustomUploadHandler(array(
'user_dirs' => true
));
...and thats it...now you have your own user-directories for your uploaded files
This code works, but I just hacked it together with my limited knowledge of PHP and I'm sure there's a more elegant and efficient way to go about it. If you'd be so kind as to point out how I can improve, that would be great!
So I have a CSV file, structured like so:
Code Class Value Status Date Created Date Redeemed
========================================================================
a51f3g45 gold 50 valid 2012-08-20
4f6a2984 silver 200 redeemed 2012-08-23 2012-08-27
gf3eb54b gold 150 valid 2012-08-30
etc...
The user fills out a form to change the Class, Value, and Status fields of a given line. I cobbled together the following code to replace the old values with the new ones:
$file = 'codes.csv';
$old_csv_string = file_get_contents($file);
preg_match('/('.$_POST['code'].',.*,.*,.*,.*,.*)\n/',$old_csv_string,$matches);
$old_row = $matches[1];
preg_match('/'.$_POST['code'].',(.*,.*,.*),.*,.*\n/',$old_csv_string,$matches_part);
$old_row_part = $matches_part[1];
$new_row_part = $_POST['class'].",".$_POST['value'].",".$_POST['status'];
$new_row = str_replace($old_row_part,$new_row_part,$old_row);
$new_csv_string = str_replace($old_row,$new_row,$old_csv_string);
file_put_contents($file,$new_csv_string);
So can I do better than 10 lines of code? Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
Note: I tried using fgetcsv, but I couldn't figure out how to find the unique code within a 2D array, then replace its siblings.
Why are you doing this ?
I think you should store the data in a SQL table.
Each time user update data, do it in the table.
If you want the CSV to be downloadable at any moment. Use a .htaccess to redirect your.csv to csv_generator.php only if your.csv does not exist.
csv_generator.php will regenerate the whole csv if it does not exist, save it on hard drive for later use, and send it with correct mime/type in header (so it's transparent for user). User don't see he is requesting a php page.
Then you need to delete the csv on hard drive each time someone update the data (so it will be regenerated on next request)
I think this is the way to have an always ready to download csv online.
Do you know google doc does this ? Users can change data in a spreadsheet wich is available to download as a csv from a url (you need to publish this spreadsheet as a csv file).
Try using split like that for each line:
list($code, $class, $value, $status, $created, $redeemed) = split(",", $line, 6) ;
Thus you will have each field in separate variable.
Of course you need to take care of the first row in case you don't want to copy header.
