I'm creating bot for Telegram.
And everything was OK, until I started to connect my bot with my database.
So, I've created table with fields "date","day","schedule".
And I want to make my bot to get a schedule by data from table.
But it can't. And I don't know why.
Here is a part of my code which belongs to DB connection.
<?php
//Connect to db with my params
$db = new mysqli('###', '###', '###', '###');
//Receive today's date
$date = date('Y-m-d');
/*
* Schedule - is what I'm looking for(some text in the table), knu - table's name
* date - table's field with date(format YYYY-MM-DD)
*/
$query = "SELECT schedule FROM knu WHERE `date` = '$date'";
$res = $db->query($query);
$row = $res->fetch_assoc();
//Send message to user
if($message == "a")
{
$date = date('Y-m-d');
$answer = $row;
sendMessage($chatId, $answer);
}
And this code doesn't work. I've tried a lot of times with different ways but still no answer with my bot.
What's wrong with my code and how to make it work?
$row isn't a string, it's an array. You probably want $answer['schedule'] or even just $row['schedule'] allowing you to remove the line $answer = $row;.

I am developing a game(c#) with database(mysql) and web service(php) to retrieving the data. The issue is the data management. There is a table on database with the name of items and it has some columns like id, item_name, item_description, item_prop, update_date, ownerId. I added 70 items to this table manually. The users can also add some items to this table or they can update the items they have already added in the game. My purpose is retrieving the whole affected rows of the table when the user is first logged in and save it as a json file in the game folder. After, read that file to fill the game environment with those items.
I try a way to achieve this. Firstly, i hold an updateDate variable in the game which is past like "1990-05-10 21:15:43". Second, i send this variable to the webservice as '$lastUpdateDate'; and make a query according to that variable at the database. select * from channels where update_date >= '$lastUpdateDate'; and write these rows in a json file as items.json. after that make a second query to retrieve the time and refresh the updateDate variable in the game. select select now() as 'Result';. In this way user would not have to get the whole table and write in json file every login process. So, it would be good for the performance and the internet usage. The problem occurs when the users update an item which is already added before. I can see the updated item, too with the first query, but I wrote it in json file twice in this way.
php code part of the getItems of my loginuser.php :
<?php
include './function.php';
// CONNECTIONS =========================================================
$host = "localhost"; //put your host here
$user = "root"; //in general is root
$password = ""; //use your password here
$dbname = "yourDataBaseName"; //your database
$phpHash = "yourHashCode"; // same code in here as in your Unity game
mysql_connect($host, $user, $password) or die("Cant connect into database");
mysql_select_db($dbname)or die("Cant connect into database");
$op = anti_injection_register($_REQUEST["op"]);
$unityHash = anti_injection_register($_REQUEST["myform_hash"]);
if ($unityHash == $phpHash)
{
if($op == "getItems")
{
$lastUpdateDate = anti_injection_login($_POST["updateDate"]);
if(!$lastUpdateDate)
{
echo "Empty";
}
else
{
$q = "select * from items where update_date >= '$lastUpdateDate';";
$rs = mysql_query($q);
if (!$rs)
{
echo "Could not successfully run query ($q) from DB: " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
if (mysql_num_rows($rs) == 0)
{
echo "No rows found, nothing to print so am exiting";
exit;
}
$arr = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($rs))
{
$arr = $row;
}
echo json_encode($arr);
}
mysql_close();
}
}
?>
So, how can i solve this problem? Or do you have any better idea for this approach. Help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.
I have written the script of sending automatic e-mail for a given date. I have already set up the cron job to execute this once a day for a given time. But it is not working. Can anyone show me the error here. I'm really new to this.
What I'm really supposed to do is to send an automatic email to a user on their birthday
<?php
$host="mysql117.000webhost.com/";//hostname
$username="abc";//mysql_username
$password="123";//mysql_password
$dbname="abc";//Database name
$tbl_name="customer_info";//table name
$date = date("2005-09-23"); //here my date format in my DB is 2010-09-30
$link = mysqli_connect('$host','$username','$password','$dbname');
if($link && mysqli_select_db('$dbname', $link))
{
$grabBday = "SELECT b_day,DATE_FORMAT(b_day,'2015-%m-%d') FROM customer_info where b_day = '2002-09-24'";
//here it will take the name of the person whose bday is on a particular date,I just hard coded this date to check if this is working
if($rs = mysqli_query($link, $grabBday))
{
while(mysqli_fetch_array($rs))
{
mail('abc92#yahoo.com', 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY', 'Many Happy Returns of the day');
}
}
} ?>
I am seeing logical difference as you are searching where b_day=$date where $date='2015-09-23' but dob can be '2002-09-23' or '1997-09-23' etc. so you will not get desired output, so you can change your query as per below if everything other than it is fine.
SELECT * FROM
tbl_name
WHERE CONCAT(YEAR(CURDATE()),DATE_FORMAT(b_day,'-%m-%d')) = $date
I've built a web page that is able to send text messages to employees at the company where I work. With new employees being added and removed on a constant basis, I want to integrate this app with wordpress where the employees can be managed without editing the code.
Each post would contain the user's name and phone number. The name would be pulled in on the webpage as an option for the user to contact. When the form is submitted, it would go to a php form that runs an if/else to find the employee and match that employee with their phone number like so:
//Who the text message is to, Establish their phone #
if($employee == 'brad'):
$text_to[] = '+15555555555';
elseif ($employee == 'mary'):
$text_to[] = '+15555555555';
elseif ($employee == 'tom'):
$text_to[] = '+15555555555';
elseif ($employee == 'bill'):
$text_to[] = '+15555555555';
elseif ($employee == 'joe'):
endif;
I want to be able to not only pull these names from wordpress via a loop to display onto my page, but also to be able to add or remove the new entries, along with their phone number, to this php contact form.
I know how to loop through the wordpress posts to display the names on the page. I want to know if it's possible to also use this data to modify this contact form, and if so, how to set this up. Each time someone edits the wordpress entry for Joe, the PHP form gets this update so that when Joe is sent a message, it finds his phone number and sends him the message.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I should also note that I'm using Twilio to send the texts messages.
The use of a DMBS works well, but is not the only solution.
include 'users.inc'; // flat file creating array $userList
which could be an array( ofArrays ) for complex structures
[assume $userList = array($user => $phone, ...); ]
then foreach( $userList as $user => $phone ) { // process($user, $phone); }
Kudos for trying to solve a simple problem yourself. It's obvious that you are new to the idea of databases, and quite frankly, you're doing this the wrong way.
Let's talk about how your initial approach can be improved:
Each post would contain the user's name and phone number.
Perhaps instead of posts, we have one database table to store employee information.
You'll find tons of information on databases and how to use them with your wordpress account with a simple google search.
I want to be able to not only pull these names from wordpress via a loop to display onto my page, but also to be able to add or remove the new entries, along with their phone number, to this php contact form.
Again, if you had a database to store employee information, this is basic.
For example, an employees database table may have the following columns:
id
name
phone
created_at
updated_at
Since PHP has built in functions for communicating with a MYSQL database (which is most likely what WordPress is already using), you can do things like:
Get all employee data
SELECT * FROM employees
Get a certain employee's data
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE name = '$name'
$name is a variable that can be set via POST request from a WordPress form
Update a certain employee's data
UPDATE employees SET phone = '+15555555555' WHERE name = '$name'
Remove a certain employee's data
DELETE FROM employees WHERE id = 5
You are also able to do things like:
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE created_at > '3/1/2015'
Which will return all employees that were added after 3/1/15.
So everything that you all suggested was helpful. I may have not been as clear as I could have that I really needed the creation/editing/deletion of entries to be done via wordpress posts. I was able to set it up like this by doing the following:
//pull variables from html form input. Employee variables are post ID's that I will then be able to use to retrieve the post_content which contains their phone numbers
$employee1 = $_POST['employeeName1'];
$employee2 = $_POST['employeeName2'];
$employee3 = $_POST['employeeName3'];
$customMsg = $_POST["textMessage"];
//Create array from above variables and exclude any that lack post data
$employees = array($employee1, $employee2, $employee3);
$setEmployeeIDs = array();
foreach ($employees as $employee) {
if (!empty($employee)) {
$setEmployeeIDs[] = $employee;
}
}
$servername = "xxxx";
$username = "xxxx";
$password = "xxxx";
$dbname = "xxxx";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
//Get array of Phone Numbers connected to each ID and add to array
$sql = "SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE ID IN (".implode(',',$setEmployeeIDs).")";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
$phoneNumbers = array();
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$phoneNumbers[] = $row["post_content"] ;
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
$conn->close();
So to sum it up, I used wordpress to publish/edit/delete that data as posts, then sent the ID's selected from the webpage to the php form, and then was able to retrieve the phone numbers from the SQL database using Raphael's direction.
I'm currently learning PHP. I've code a simple bucketlist script with a admin panel, sessions etc just to see if I can do it.
The last page I am coding is the "edit.php" & "editone.php" I have a table which returns all data within the database "ID, Goal & Rating" my fourth column returns "EDIT" as a link which will link off to: editone.php?id=xx
editone.php currently is not a page. For the life of me I cannot figure out how I code the editone so I can grab the data and UPDATE mysql. I'm almost there just cannot piece together the puzzle.
Here's the core of my code for the edit page.
<?php
while ($query_row = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".$query_row['id']."</td><td>". $query_row['goals']."</td><td><span class='label label-inverse'>". $query_row['rating']."</span></td><td><a href='editone.php?id=".$query_row['id']."'>Edit</a></td>";
echo "<tr>";
}
?>
Any assistance would be really appreciated.
Send all the parameters through POST method to editone page. I mean in your edit page, you are getting all the variables from database. You can show them in a form having a submit button and of type "POST". So now when someone submits, it goes to editone.php page.
Get all the variables first through $_POST method. Then write a update query.
$sql = "UPDATE tablename SET goals = '$goal', rating='$rating' WHERE id = $id";
make sure to escape your post variables as said in the comment.
This is how should be your PDO Update statement.
// database connection
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$dbhost;dbname=$dbname",$dbuser,$dbpass);
// new data
$goals = 'Some goals';
$rating = 'whatever rating';
$id = 3;
// query
$sql = "UPDATE tablename
SET goals=?, rating=?
WHERE id=?";
$q = $conn->prepare($sql);
$q->execute(array($goals,$rating,$id));
If I understood you correctly, what you want is a page that first displays a single row (so it can be edited) and then saves it once you're done. So you start out by writing the HTML form with no data in it.
Next, you read the ID from the query string:
<?php
$rowId = $_GET['id'];
and then query for the data:
// database connection example borrowed from Abhishek
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$dbhost;dbname=$dbname",$dbuser,$dbpass);
$sql = "SELECT goals, rating FROM tablename WHERE id = ?";
$query = $conn->prepare($sql);
$query->execute(array($rowId));
$row = $query->fetch();
Now, you can use the data to populate your form. This gets you about halfway there. :-)
You'll want the actual save to be in response to a POST request, not GET. There's a long and somewhat complicated explanation on why that is, but the simplified version is that you use POST whenever you're making changes for the user, and GET when you're just reading data -- there's a bunch of browser and proxy behavior and whatnot tied to these assumptions, so it's a good idea to start doing things the right way early on.
When you process the POST request -- you can do it on the same page -- you'll have the updated form values for grabs, and you can use them to update your database:
// This can be a hidden field on the form...
$rowId = $_POST['id'];
$goals = $_POST['goals'];
$rating = $_POST['rating'];
// database connection example borrowed from Abhishek
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$dbhost;dbname=$dbname",$dbuser,$dbpass);
$sql = "UPDATE tablename SET goals = ?, rating = ? WHERE id = ?";
$query = $conn->prepare($sql);
$query->execute(array($goals, $rating, $rowId));
After this, your database should be updated. To finish things off, you'll probably want to redirect back to the page to make sure the form can't be double-submitted accidentally.
I haven't covered quite everything here, a bit on purpose. It's more fun when there are some blanks to fill in. :-)
You probably want your second <tr> to be </tr>.
The most common solution is to use an html form. The input values of this form are a select with the id in query string. When a submit button is pressed to save this, make a update. But I want share with you a good and complete web 2.0 example.
What I'm doing with this code is checking the database for a date that ends editing(Say Today's date is 12/30/11 last date for edits was or is 12/12/10 = LOCKED or Todays date is 12/30/11 last date for edits was or is 12/12/13 = UNLOCKED & forwarded to edit site)
So with that in mind here's the problem: the code i have always says your account is locked no matter the lock date and i am at a lost for a solution :(.
By the way please keep in mind that the headers have already been sent by this point.
<?php
$id = $_GET['id'];
// Define MySQL Information.
$mysqlhost="***************"; // Host name of MySQL server.
$mysqlusername="**********"; // Username of MySQL database.
$mysqlpassword="*********"; // Password of the above MySQL username.
$mysqldatabase="*************"; // Name of database where the table resides.
// Connect to MySQL.
mysql_connect("$mysqlhost", "$mysqlusername", "$mysqlpassword")or die("Could not connect to MySQL.");
mysql_select_db("$mysqldatabase")or die("Could not connect to selected MySQL database.");
$infosql = "SELECT * FROM premiersounds_users WHERE customer_id = $id";
$inforesult = mysql_query($infosql) or die(mysql_error());
$info = mysql_fetch_array($inforesult);
$l_date=$info['lockout_date'];
//Get current date from server
$format="%m/%d/%y";
$c_date=strftime($format);
//set sessions
$_SESSION['current_date'] = $c_date;
$_SESSION['lockout_date'] = $l_date;
//Check is Current date = lockout date
if ($c_date <= $l_date) { header("location:/planner_scripts/documnet_editors /edit_weddingplanner.php?id=$id"); } else {echo 'Whoops! Were sorry your account has been locked to edits because your event is less than 48 hours from now or your event has passed. To make changes to your event please contact your DJ.'; echo'<br/>'; echo ' Todays Date: ';echo $c_date; echo ','; echo ' Last Date for edits: '; echo $l_date;}
?>
<?php
//Destroy Session for Lockout Date to prevent by passes
unset($_SESSION['lockout_date']);
?>
A couple of things ...
The code as it was posted is massively open to SQL-injection
attacks. You should always sanitize user data before including it in
a db query. I add a mysql_escape_string() call in the code below
to prevent this as well as mention a simple integer cast. There are
other ways to accomplish this. You can learn how by searching SO on
the topic.
One easy way to compare dates is to use PHP's DateTime class.
The code below creates instances of DateTime ... one for the
current date and one from the lockout date retrieved from the
database. Once you have these objects, you can compare the two.
<?php
$id = $_GET['id'];
// Define MySQL Information.
$mysqlusername=""; // Username of MySQL database.
$mysqlpassword=""; // Password of the above MySQL username.
$mysqldatabase=""; // Name of database where the table resides.
// Connect to MySQL.
mysql_connect("$mysqlhost", "$mysqlusername", "$mysqlpassword")or die("Could not connect to MySQL.");
mysql_select_db("$mysqldatabase")or die("Could not connect to selected MySQL database.");
// IMPORTANT: PREVENT SQL INJECTION
$id = mysql_escape_string($id);
// Or, if $id is supposed to be an integer just do this ...
// $id = (int) $id;
$infosql = "SELECT * FROM premiersounds_users WHERE customer_id = $id";
$inforesult = mysql_query($infosql) or die(mysql_error());
$info = mysql_fetch_array($inforesult);
//Get current date from server
$c_date = new DateTime();
$l_date = new DateTime($info['lockout_date']);
//Check is Current date = lockout date
if ($c_date->format('Y-m-d') <= $l_date->format('Y-m-d')) {
header("location:/planner_scripts/documnet_editors/edit_weddingplanner.php?id=$id");
} else {
echo 'Whoops! Were sorry your account has been locked to edits because your event is less than 48 hours from now or your event has passed. To make changes to your event please contact your DJ.';
echo'<br/>';
echo ' Todays Date: ';
echo $c_date;
echo ',';
echo ' Last Date for edits: ';
echo $l_date;
}
?>
You are comparing dates as strings. You're comparing something like 12/30/2011 to something like 12/11/2011 or whatever. PHP can and will do this, but it will treat them like strings.
The main oddity that this will make is that 0's are not implied as with numeric types.
Also, your date formats will not match. MySQL returns something like 2011-12-30, whereas your strftime will do something like 30/12/2011.
Try something like
$c_date_stamp = strtotime($c_date);
$today = strtotime('today');
if($c_date_stamp <= $today) { }
This will convert the dates to unix timestamps before comparison. Another option would be to leave them in string form, but be weary of the implications that can have.
For example, if you do it in string form, the magnitude of the date-parts will need to be in descending order:
if($c_date <= date('Y-m-d'))
Also note that if one is using a leading zero on days < 10, the other one needs to do so too.
