Just a small question for anyone out there that uses smarty. I am trying to pass PHP directly into my code, but when I do, the cached version cuts out the PHP and just prints it directly like so.
<div class="dashboard-card-content">
<?php
$con = mysqli_connect(Nice,Try,Fly,Guy);
$company_id = $_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['auth']->value['user_id'];
$company_id = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT company_id FROM cscart_users WHERE user_id = $company_id")->fetch_object()->company_id;
$company_id = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT goal FROM cscart_companies WHERE company_id = $company_id")->fetch_object()->goal;
echo "Your current goal is: ".$company_id;
?>
This just prints all of it out on my webpage, so I tried using the following:
{Literal}
{Include_php}
{php}
And I just can't find a way to get my PHP code to go into my TPL how I want it. This is becoming really frustrating and all I want is for my cache files to leave the PHP code alone. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I have been researching this for a while. How do I implement SmartyBC so that I can still use PHP injections. And if using SmartyBC is a bad idea, can someone give me a dumbed down version of how to use a seperate PHP function page to set variables to show in the Template?
Smarty is a template engine for presentation logic only. You cannot put application logic inside a template. It was possible in older versions of Smarty but fortunately not anymore. Just execute those funcions in a php file and pass the result to the template.
And yes, you can use SmartyBC: http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/bc.tpl, but that's supposed to be used for compatibility with existing projects. It's a really bad idea and shouldn't be used for new projects.
Why do you want to use php in Smarty?
Put your logic into a class or function, and pass the data via the controller: Registry::get('view')->assign('smarty_variable', $data), and you are good to go.
You can create PHP function which gets necessary data from database. E.g.
function fn_get_company_goal($user_id)
{
$company_id = db_get_field("SELECT company_id FROM ?:users WHERE user_id = ?i, $user_id");
$goal = db_get_field("SELECT goal FROM ?:companies WHERE company_id = ?i, $company_id");
return $goal;
}
Put it to your addon. Then you can use it in the Smarty template in the following manner:
{$goal = $user_id|fn_get_company_goal}

I want to put my fortnite stats on my website HTML/CSS. I find this.
But I don't know php very good, so I need your help. Must I delete this: 'your_api_key' and put : your_api_key without the ' ' ?
And lines like this:
$this->auth = new Fortnite_Auth($this);
$this->challenges = new Fortnite_Challenges($this);
$this->leaderboard = new Fortnite_Leaderboard($this);
$this->items = new Fortnite_Items($this);
$this->news = new Fortnite_News($this);
$this->patchnotes = new Fortnite_PatchNotes($this);
$this->pve = new Fortnite_PVE($this);
$this->status = new Fortnite_Status($this);
$this->weapons = new Fortnite_Weapons($this);
$this->user = new Fortnite_User($this)
Must I modify something?
(here are some informations:
-user_id: 501b9f2dfda34249a2749467513172bf
-username: NoMaD_DEEPonion
-platform: pc
-windows: season 5
)
For all this code, I used xammp server (I hope it's good)
Thank you for your help
You should always quote '' your key/strings. So it would look like:
$api->setKey('123qwerty456');
$api->user->id('NoMaD_DEEPonion');
Please read their documentation. You're supposed to get an API key from them to get started. And you don't have to edit Client.php. You're supposed to include the files instead. Try including Autoloader.php, since it requires the necessary files.
XAMPP is alright for development, but not suitable for production/public. Good luck!
What #sykez wrote.
I personally use https://fortniteapi.com/ to get the data. They also have a sweet POSTMAN page with different requests https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/4499368/RWEjoGqD
At last. I am not really sure that this will be a good project to start learning PHP from. I really suggest that you get to understand the basics of PHP first before you jump into API calls, processing arrays and more.
i'm super new to Laravel and I've been doing some research on how to get the google maps api to work with laravel.
I've already made my blade to fetch content from my database with eloquent etc, so I know that wwhen you use blade you can put the vars between two curly brackets to then "echo" them on the webpage (like this {{$training->Location}} )
The problem is that in the following snippet of code I need to pass the data from the Location table into a php var and I don't know how to pass it. That's how I did it , but obviously it didn't work out well , it just passes it as direct text I guess...
So when I put this $adress = '{{$training->Location }}; and I echo it on my page for testing purposes I get this string as a result: %7B%7B%24training-%3ELocation%7D%7D which the googleMapsApi will not recognize as a correct adress.
Here's the code snippet: `
<div>
<H4>Location: {!!$training->Location!!}</H4>
</div>
<div>
<H4>Starting Date: {!!$training->DateTime!!} </H4>
</div>
<?php
$adress = '{{$training->Location}}';
//$adress = 'Universitätsring 1, 1010 Wien';
$adress = urlencode($adress);
$url = 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=' . $adress . '&sensor=true';
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);
$status = $xml->status;
if ($status == 'OK') {
$latitude = $xml->result->geometry->location->lat;
$longitude = $xml->result->geometry->location->lng;
} ?>`
I hope you understand my problem , sorry my English isn't the best, but if you don't understand I can always provide screenshots or a better explaination
Although the suggest answer works this is not a good design practice.
In your blade files should not be anny php code other then absolutely necessary for displaying values. The code you wrote in your blade file should be located in the controller. I would suggest you get familiar with the MVC concept Laravel is build on. From the laravel docs (https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/views):
Views contain the HTML served by your application and separate your
controller / application logic from your presentation logic.
Making an callout to get the geometric location should be in your controller (or some helper class) at least not in your view.
Also this would be a good read: https://scotch.io/#ARKASoftwares/mvc-development-the-need-of-the-changing-world
The simplified workflow is as follows: any Blade code is converted to the equivalent PHP, then the PHP code is executed server-side and the resulting HTML is then passed to the client.
You are using Blade because this is what you want to do (probably because of the much nicer syntax) and certainly not because of some unspoken Laravel constraint. Any variables "available in Blade" are also available in plain PHP for you to use.
Replacing
$address = '{{$training->Location}}';
with
$address = $training->Location;
is perfectly "legal" and should be the way to go if you consider you are in the need for plain PHP.
I am working in a project which has the following restriction defined:
My PHP files must not have more than one opening or closing tag.
So it's PHP from top to bottom, but I am allowed to add static content by the means of 'import'.
What are proper/elegant ways to add static HTML content to my PHP index file (like outputting a website menu header or a formular) and at the same time resolve PHP variables inside the file.
Like a formular which makes a HTTP POST (login or register) and displays the previously entered email address in case of a mismatch, etc etc.
One way would be
echo "<form ...> \n <input ... value='$lastemail'>";
But I dislike the quoting. echo <<< EOF is also not great for the purpose imho.
I think HTML code should stay together without separating it into multiple echos so it can be validated.
So I am looking for a good solution to import/integrate static HTML code, like a template system and still resolve PHP variables.
Update:
The restriction is made to not mix HTML and PHP code.
I think I will need an engine/class/function which replaces variables inside a HTML template with PHP code. Like searching for ${variable} and replacing it with the php $variable as if it was PHP code.
I just thought maybe there is already something existing within PHP to solve that.
Update:
Should I oppose the requirement ?
Would be very interesting to hear the oppinion of a professional PHP developer with long history in that area. (On The restriction is made to not mix HTML and PHP code. )
Perhaps you could use a templating system? There are plenty out there for PHP. Some nice ones are (in my opinion):
Twig, which is very small and fast
Smarty, a little larger, but also fast and very popular
The solution that I provide now may seem lengthy and strenuous to enact but would one of the best ways to solve problems with such constraints. Create a database with two tables, one of which would store all the static data i.e. HTML code whereas the other would store dynamic data i.e. data that you want to be personalised. You can then use the database to separately eject dynamic and static data, all using just pure PHP.
<?php
$host = "127.0.0.1";
$user = "root";
$password = "****";
$db = "project";
$txt = NULL;
$conn = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $password, $db);
if(!conn){
header("location:error.htm");
}
$query1 = "SELECT dynamicdata FROM projectdynamicdata WHERE pagename ='index'";
$resultset1 = mysqli_query($conn, $query1);
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($resultset1){
$txt = $row["dynamicdata"];
}
$query2 = "SELECT htmlpage FROM projectstaticdata WHERE pagename='index'";
$resultset2 = mysqli_query($conn, $query);
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($resultset){
echo $row["htmlpage"];
}
mysqli_close($conn);
?>
This is what I would to solve such a problem.
So, im making a file hosting site, and am using some form builders to start off with. However, these builders do NOT support PHP. Now, i would like to shrink some URLs, how can i do this in pure HTML, without adding in PHP methods. I am fine with goo[dot]gl, bit.ly, tinyurl.com, or whatever else!
HTML is a Markup Language.
If you want to use some API, or anything more coding-oriented, you have to use a real programming language - you choose : for your purpose PHP would be the best choice.
Now, if you finally decide to use PHP, it's really easy.
Code (for TinyURL) :
<?php
function createTinyUrl($strURL) {
$tinyurl = file_get_contents("http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=".$strURL);
return $tinyurl;
}
?>
Usage :
<?php
$myTinyUrl = createTinyUrl("http://www.yourdomain.com/some-long-url-here");
?>
And that's all! ;-)
If the form builders don't support PHP you need to write it yourself. PHP is very easy to work with.
Here is an example for you. (Assuming you have PHP set up on your web host:)
Save the file with the extension .PHP (or whatever your web host uses - might be .PHP5 for php5) instead of .HTML
You can use the super-global $_GET to accept certain variables from the URL in the address bar ex.:
$short_url = $_GET["q"];
Since i'm getting a variable named 'q', if you access the page with a parameter named 'q' I will have that variable stored ex.:
http://your.site/?q=shorturl # Assumes your index file takes the 'q' variable
Now it is up to you what to do with that variable. The best thing would be to set up a MySQL database so that when you get a value like 'shorturl' you can do a quick SQL query to return the full address ex.:
# Make DB connection
$db = new PDO("mysql:host='X.X.X.X';dbname='mydb'", $user, $secret);
# Function to search database for URL
function getFullURL($short_url) {
$result;
$sql = "SELECT full_url FROM tbl_addresses WHERE short_url='?'";
$query = $db->prepare($sql);
$query->execute(array($short_url));
$rows = $query->rowCount();
if ($rows == 1)
$result = $query->fetchAll();
return $result;
}
There's really not much to it in PHP with MySQL.
Hey guys, I'm using Twitter's PHP API, called twitterlibphp, and it works well, but there's one thing that I need to be able to initiate, which is the linking of URLs and #username replies. I already have the function for this written up correctly (it is called clickable_link($text);) and have tested it successfully. I am not too familiar with parts of twitterlibphp (link goes to source code), and I am not sure where to put the function clickable_link() in order to make URLs and #username's clickable. I hope that is enough information, thanks a lot.
EDIT:
In addition, I would like only one status to come up in the function GetFriendsTimeline(), right now 20 come up, is there any easy way to limit it to one?
I would extend the Twitter class and put the functionality in my own getUserTimeline method.
class MyTwitter extends Twitter
{
public function getUserTimeline()
{
$result = parent::getUserTimeline();
// Your functionality ...
return $result;
}
}
You don't need to put clickable_link() in twitterlibphp. Instead, call it right before you output a status message. Example:
$twitter = new Twitter('username', 'password');
$result = $twitter->getUserTimeline();
... parse the $result XML here ...
echo 'Status : '.clickable_link($status);
