I have a settings_view in which there is a textField and I would like to give the user the option to modify application/config/email.php and more precisely the $config['smtp_user'] so the latter would receive the string entered by the user.
I already know how to get the controller to receive the value by creating a form in the view and then send it to another view or use the value in a db query but I'm wondering whether I can actually make it so the config/email.php can be modified.
I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction or tell me to stop searching if this is not doable.
You can place your settings inside config/email.php, but you can also modify them inside your controller. It overwrites variables that you are only interested and will also use the rest from config file.
$new_config_values = array(
'new_key' => 'new value'
);
$this->email->initialize($new_config_values);

So I have 2 different .ini files that stores different languages and I'm trying to choose which one I will read data from via a form.
Is there an easy way to do this, or should I use MySQL to switch between the files? With this I mean storing the filename and then changing the filename value in the database via the form.
Or as I'm trying to accomplish, store a $filename variable in PHP that holds either file 'a.ini' or file 'b.ini', depending on my choice.
It should also be possible to switch back and forth between the choices.
Right now I'm stuck and have no idea what to do.
I have this and I know I have to put it in a function, but from there I have no clue..
$ini_array = parse_ini_file("languages/EN.ini");
I'm trying to change the "EN" to a different value, but to no success so far.
My code right now, after som modifications: https://pastebin.com/a077jFE1
Right now I either have to refresh the page after submitting or submit again for the changes to take effect. Why is this occuring?
I would try something like this:
if (isset($_POST["your_form_field"])){
$ini_string = "languages/" . $_POST["your_form_field"] . "ini";
$ini_array = parse_ini_file($ini_string);
} else {
# Default
$ini_array = parse_ini_file("languages/EN.ini");
}
mmdts has a good answer too, store the posted value and use it on all your pages :)
Have you tried looking up storing data in a session?
A good guide on how to do this is available at:
How to set session in php according to the language selected?
You can follow the first answer to the letter in the php script present in the action of the form which allows the user to select the language.
And in all your other pages, you'd just check for
session_start(); // You have to call this at the start of each page to make sure that the $_SESSION variable works.
if ($_SESSION['lang'] == 'en')
$ini_array = parse_ini_file("languages/EN.ini");
etc.
And the full session documentation is available at http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.session.php
I want a piece of code on the index of my Code Igniter's script so I can change the identety or name of my controller from agent69 to agent007_and_supergirl,and also a way to beat any rule that pages might have against using underscore to separate words as an amendment.
In other words I want that all the calls that the processor of my server has inside my code igniter for agent69 be translated to calls to agent007_and_supergirl
Is just a change of identety for the controller without altering the main controler's functionality and without getting my hands dirty with coding.
If you want re route your default controller url, you have to edit routing configuration like this:
in application/config/route.php
$route['agent007_and_supergirl'] = 'agent69';
Now agent69 Controller will be accessible by http://youriste.com/agent69 and http://yoursite.com/agent007_and_supergirl as well
CodeIgniter URI Routing Guide
Working on config/routes.php yelded miserabe results on past,remember that is an identity matter
And I want all the calls of agent69 be sent to agent007_and_supergirl that is its new identity
What was successfull on the past about this mattar was controller and file cloning,it worked masterfully
but this only intercepted few server calls so for me to get all the server calls, I need to clone every
single fie on the script so I feel silly teling you again thats why I didnt want to get my hands dirty with code
because is plenty of code.
Well hope that you can help me master this code that goes on the index of my code igniter script--///The code cant appear here so its below in the comment to lighta thanks 4 readin
We're sending a zip file download as a response like this:
$this->response->file( "/export/stuff.zip", array('downlaod'=>true, 'name'=>"stuff.zip") );
return $this->response;
This works fine, BUT the file is always named export.zip. Our name option does not seem to have any effect. We've also tried without the .zip extension. This is confusing because the name options is shown here, in the docs.
What are we doing wrong?
Update:
We figured out that the seemingly arbitrary name "export" is being copied from the name of the controller action. We changed the method name to "admin_exportt" and then we get exportt.zip every time. This isn't documented anywhere that I've seen.
We found where the name is handled in the source code (/lib/Cake/Nework/CakeResponse.php:1254) and it appears that it should either use the original file name, or whatever is specified in the name options:
if (is_null($options['name'])) {
$name = $file->name;
} else {
$name = $options['name'];
}
Ugh! We figured out what was wrong...
Notice the word downlaod in the first line of my code above? That's the culprit. Apparently that bad option was causing the entire array to get ignored. I'm not sure if this will help anyone in the future, but I guess I'll leave it up as a reminder that CakePHP options work that way (at lease in this context).
PS: Whenever you're stuck, go take a walk and come back!
Please see the attached image below. I need to get the highlighted value via PHP and put it into one of my templates. I'm not exactly sure how this works, but this text is created as part of an entityform .
You need to implement hook_form_alter in order to access a form element. Kindly read the documentation about how to use it.
Then, you can access the field like that:
$value = $form[YOUR_FIELD]['#items'][0]['value'];
Hope this works... Muhammad.
At first apologies in advance if there is some problem in my ques, i am new to heroku ,my basic problem is i have some messed up code, where i want to test if i am able to fetch facebook variables in my own code and use them..
in my .php file i want to put name for person using my facebook app to displayname array variable of array and url of array should get the application users picture..i took the idea to assign these value via the index.php file provided by facebook itself.
My .php file code is :-
$basic = $facebook->api('/me');
$options = array(
'displayName' => he(idx($basic, 'name')),
'image' => array(
'url' => 'https://graph.facebook.com/'.he($id).'/picture?type=square',
'height => '48',
'width => '48'
)
);
but there is something wrong going here which i cant figure out.
i tried to debug it via javascript or other techniques but now able to connect the .php file to some .js file by any means to transfer variable values present in .php file and print them on my browser,i use to edit code at my own system and push it via git and since the code is executed at heroku i cant figure out what errors are creping in..i am using free account as per now so is there any way i can see my code in execution at heroku.. or any help to debug my code efficiently..
Edit1: alternatively is there any way i can pass these variable from my .PHP file to a separate .JS file and print variables in message box or something..any example code given will help a lot..there are many questions asked in this regard to transfer variables from separate .PHP file to separate .JS file..but i found no direct answer for it, all suggest workarounds but no direct way... questions i visited for it are ..
What's the best way to pass a PHP variable to Javascript?
Grab/input php variable in javascript?
and some more but dint find the perfect answer.
Edit2: if my ques needs more info plz let me know,and if second option is the choice left to debug my code ..then can someone give me an example with transferring variable/array present in testfile.php file say present at appfolder/php/lib/testfile.php and output it on browser in HTML format using testjs.js file say present at appfolder/lib/js/testjs.js
A common exchange format between PHP (or other language) and JavaScript is JSON. You can encode an array (or an php object) to json using json_encode, in PHP. Like this :
$options_json = json_encode($options);
So, you can write this javascript variable in your html results, like this :
echo '<script>var options = ', json_encode($options), ';</script>';
Your picture will then be accessible using javascript :
console.log(options);
console.log(options.url);
