i have the below code written, actually i thought of converting the current webpage to pdf document, but i couldnt make how to declare the current url and get the contents of the webpage in pdf doc. below is my code.
<?php
require("mpdf60/mpdf.php");
$mpdf=new mPDF('utf-8','Letter-L','','',15,10,16,10,10,10);//A4 page in portrait for landscape add -L.
$mpdf->SetHeader('|Your Header here|');
$mpdf->setFooter('{PAGENO}');// Giving page number to your footer.
$mpdf->useOnlyCoreFonts = true; // false is default
$mpdf->SetDisplayMode('fullpage');
$mpdf->debug = true;
// Buffer the following html with PHP so we can store it to a variable later
ob_start();
?>
<?php
include "contractview.php?ID=129";
//This is your php page ?>
<?php
$html = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
// send the captured HTML from the output buffer to the mPDF class for processing
$mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
//$mpdf->SetProtection(array(), 'user', 'password'); uncomment to protect your pdf page with password.
$mpdf->Output();
exit;
?>
i have written include "contractview.php?ID=129"; but this was not working, can any one please help me in how to assign this to get the current page contents.
MPDF doesn't support includes. You have to put it in a var. The full html can be converted using jquery or in php with file_get_contents.
This is how i did it with full page.
<?php
require("mpdf60/mpdf.php");
$mpdf=new mPDF('utf-8','Letter-L','','',15,10,16,10,10,10);//A4 page in portrait for landscape add -L.
$mpdf->SetHeader('|Your Header here|');
$mpdf->setFooter('{PAGENO}');// Giving page number to your footer.
$mpdf->useOnlyCoreFonts = true; // false is default
$mpdf->SetDisplayMode('fullpage');
$mpdf->debug = true;
// Buffer the following html with PHP so we can store it to a variable later
ob_start();
?>
<?php
//$content = file_get_contents("contractview.php?ID=129"); //<=== WRONG ONE
$content = file_get_contents("http://www.yourwebsite.com/contractview.php?ID=129"); //<=== getting content from url and not file!!
print($content);
//This is your php page ?>
<?php
$html = ob_get_contents($content); //<=== put content in ob
ob_end_clean();
// send the captured HTML from the output buffer to the mPDF class for processing
$mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
//$mpdf->SetProtection(array(), 'user', 'password'); uncomment to protect your pdf page with password.
$mpdf->Output();
exit;
?>
I see you are using ob_start and ob_end
You coudl also use
<?php
require("mpdf60/mpdf.php");
$mpdf=new mPDF('utf-8','Letter-L','','',15,10,16,10,10,10);//A4 page in portrait for landscape add -L.
$mpdf->SetHeader('|Your Header here|');
$mpdf->setFooter('{PAGENO}');// Giving page number to your footer.
$mpdf->useOnlyCoreFonts = true; // false is default
$mpdf->SetDisplayMode('fullpage');
$mpdf->debug = true;
// Buffer the following html with PHP so we can store it to a variable later
$content = file_get_contents("http://www.yourwebsite.com/contractview.php?ID=129"); //<=== getting content from url and not file!!
// send the captured HTML from the output buffer to the mPDF class for processing
$mpdf->WriteHTML($content);
//$mpdf->SetProtection(array(), 'user', 'password'); uncomment to protect your pdf page with password.
$mpdf->Output();
exit;
?>

It's smaller and cleaner and the file_get_contents() can get the job done. But you always need to make sure you have the html of the page.

I am not very familiar with PHP or MySQL, but after researching here I have been able to learn and get very close to what I need and build my first sum query. I am trying to read the database and sum values based on several variables.
I need the reservation_pax from the reservations table where reservation_time is 8:00 where reservation_hidden = 0 and reservation_date is something. I can manually enter the date and it works. I am now trying to use a session code already in the script or find a way to to dynamically add based on selected date.
Here is the code I have working without the dynamic aspect or session.
$result = mysql_query("SELECT SUM(reservation_pax)
FROM reservations
WHERE reservation_time = '8:00:00'
AND reservation_date = '2014-10-27'
AND reservation_hidden ='0'") ;
if ($result === false) {
die(mysql_error()); // TODO: better error handling
}
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row['SUM(reservation_pax)'];
}
Here is the full code of the page where I entered the above addition. Can anyone help me figure out how to call the selected date rather than having to manually enter.

you can use alias field, as:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT SUM(reservation_pax) AS reserve_sum
FROM reservations WHERE reservation_time = '8:00:00'
AND reservation_date = '2014-10-27'
AND reservation_hidden ='0'"
) ;
....
and get access it as:
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['reserve_sum'];
}
$result = mysql_query("SELECT SUM(reservation_pax) FROM reservations WHERE reservation_time = '8:00:00' AND reservation_date = '{$_SESSION['selectedDate']}' AND reservation_hidden ='0'") ;
if($result === FALSE) {
die(mysql_error()); // TODO: better error handling
}
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

echo $row['SUM(reservation_pax)'];

I am working with an HTML webpage connected to a database and using PHP. I have in a div at the top a variable that doesn't get properly set until some PHP later in the document. Is there a way to make the div build after the later PHP, but still be where it should be at the top of the page?
Here's the code that uses the variables
<div id="HeaderRight">
<div id="HeaderRight">
<?php
echo '<a href="../Cart/index.php" class="header">
<img src="../Images/shoppingcart.gif" height="18" width="127" border="0" align="ABSMIDDLE" /> Contains '.$_SESSION["num_items"].' Items</a>'
?>
</div>
Here's the code that sets the variables
<?php
echo '<TABLE WIDTH="100%" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" ALIGN = "RIGHT" BORDER = "1">';
echo '<TR BGCOLOR = "818996" HEIGHT = "25"><TD>Product</TD><TD>Availability</TD> <TD>Qty</TD><TD>Price</TD><TD>Total</TD></TR>';
$strTotalPrice = 0;
for ($i=0; $i<$_SESSION['num_products']; $i++) {
$strSQL = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE ProductCode = '".$_SESSION['cart'][$i]['name']."'";
$rsProd = mysql_query($strSQL)
or die($db_name . " : " . $strSQL . " : " . mysql_error());
$rowProd = mysql_fetch_array($rsProd);
$strSQLDetails = "SELECT * FROM pagedetails WHERE Category = '".$rowProd["Category"]."'";
$rsDetails = mysql_query($strSQLDetails)
or die($db_name . " : " . $strSQLDetails . " : " . mysql_error());
$rowDetails = mysql_fetch_array($rsDetails);
// End Of "Retrieve Desired Record Set"
echo ' <TR HEIGHT = "' .$rowProd["ThumbnailHeight"]. '" ><TD style="vertical-align:middle"><img src="../'.$rowProd["Department"].'/Images/'.$rowProd["ProductCode"].'_sm.jpg" align = "left" border="0" height = "'.$rowProd["ThumbnailHeight"].'" width="100" hspace="25" />
<br><a href = "../Products/Products.php?PageID='.$rowDetails["PageID"].'" >'.$rowProd["ProductName"].'</a>
</TD>';
$strAvailability = "";
$strQuantity = 0;
if($rowProd["Stock"] < $_SESSION["cart"][$i]["qty"]){
$strAvailability = "Only " .$rowProd["Stock"]. " in Stock, Quantity Changed";
$strQuantity = $rowProd["Stock"];
$_SESSION["cart"][$i]["qty"] = $rowProd["Stock"];
}
else{
$strAvailability = "In Stock";
$strQuantity = $_SESSION["cart"][$i]["qty"];
}
echo '<TD ALIGN = "center">'.$strAvailability.'</TD>';
echo '<TD ALIGN = "center">
<input type="text" name="txtQuantity" size="2" maxlength="2" value ='.$strQuantity.'>';
echo '<form action="index.php?=?product='.$rowProd["ProductCode"].'&quantity=1" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update">
</form>
</TD>';
$strPrice = $rowProd["RegPrice"] * $strQuantity;
$strTotalPrice += $strPrice;
echo '<TD ALIGN = "center">$'.$rowProd["RegPrice"].'.00</TD>';
echo '<TD ALIGN = "center">$'.$strPrice.'.00</TD></TR>';
//echo '( <a href=index.php?product=' . $_SESSION['cart'][$i]['name'] . '&quantity=1>+</a> )';
}
As Rocket Hazmat points out, it is a good idea to run all of your PHP code before rendering the HTML. Without rewriting your current code, you can achieve this with some output buffering:
<?
// add this block
function firstDiv() {
ob_start();
?>
<div id="HeaderRight">
... <? echo $_SESSION["num_items"]; ?> ...
</div>
<?
// ... and this block
$_SESSION["firstDiv"] = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
} // end of firstDiv
?>
and the same with the rest of your page
<?
function restOfYourPage() {
ob_start();
?>
<TABLE> ... <? $_SESSION["num_items"] = 666; ?> ... </TABLE>
<?
$_SESSION["restOfYourPage"] = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
} // end of restOfYourPage
?>
Then you can run the php code in reverse order, but display it in normal order:
<?
restOfYourPage();
firstDiv();
echo $_SESSION["firstDiv"];
echo $_SESSION["restOfYourPage"];
?>
here is my code. actually i am displaying some data from mysql on the page and creating dynamic link.i want started a session with session_start() in the very begining of code before starting any code. i want to store the value of the link that is to be display on other pagepage..
page1.php
<a style="color:#F00; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left:33px; font-weight:bold">
No. of registered students:
</a>
<table border='1' align="center" style="font-size:14px" width="95%" cellspacing="3" class="db_table">
<tr class="db_table_tr" >
<th class="db_table_th" name="submit">USN</th>
</tr>
<?php
include('includes/login_connection.php');
$query = "select p.usn, p.name from personal_details p, course_codes c where p.usn = c.usn order by p.usn";
$run = mysql_query($query) or die($query."<br/><br/>".mysql_error());
$num = mysql_numrows($run);
echo $num;
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($run)){
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['usn'] . "" . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['name'] . " </td>";
if(isset($_GET['submit'])){
$_SESSION['session_usn'] = $_GET['usn'];
}
}
echo "</tr>";
mysql_close($bd);
?>
</table>
page2.php
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['session_usn']))
{
$_POST['usn'] = $_SESSION['session_usn'];
echo $_POST['usn'];
}
?>
You need to provide a fall-back, in case the URL provided does not contain the proper variables in the $_GET section.
You have:
if(isset($_GET['submit'])){
$_SESSION['session_usn'] = $_GET['usn'];
}
You should do something else if $_GET['submit'] isn't set:
if(isset($_GET['submit'])){
$_SESSION['session_usn'] = $_GET['usn'];
} else {
$_SESSION['session_usn'] = "unset";
// or set a warning flag like "unset"
}
You should be feeding your php file a url like:
http://yoururl.com/page1.php?usn='333'
Where 333 is the value you want to store.
I'm not really familiar with Ajax Response - I have edited the PHP Ajax Search code from W3schools.com as follows :
<?php
require_once('connect_db.php');
$query = "select item_no from items";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$a = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
$a[] = $row['item_no'];
}
//get the q parameter from URL
$q=$_GET["q"];
//lookup all hints from array if length of q>0
if (strlen($q) > 0)
{
$hint="";
for($i=0; $i<count($a); $i++)
{
if (strtolower($q)==strtolower(substr($a[$i],0,strlen($q))))
{
if ($hint=="")
{
$hint=$a[$i];
}
else
{
$hint=$hint." , ".$a[$i];
}
}
}
}
// Set output to "no suggestion" if no hint were found
// or to the correct values
if ($hint == "")
{
$response="No Suggestion";
}
else
{
$response=$hint;
}
//output the response
echo "<table border=1><tr><td>".$response."</td></tr></table>";
?>
The output of the above code works perfectly, but they are all listed like this (2L500BU , 2L500GO , 2L500NA , 2L500RD , 2L802CA , 2L802WH , 2L803GR , 2L804BE , 2L804BK , 2L804CO , 2L805BU , 2L806BE , 2L806GR ) - Those numbers are Item No in mysql table called items.
Now :
1) I want to output the response into table with <tr> for each like this
2l500BU
2L500GO
.
.
.
.
etc.
2) Do you think its possible to output all table records from Mysql based on the hint entered as follows :
$sql="SELECT * FROM items WHERE item_no = '".**$hint**."'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
echo "<table align='center' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='3' width='800px' border='1' font style='font-family:arial;'>";
echo "
<tr align=center>
<th style=font-size:18px; bgcolor=#20c500>Item Number</th>
<th style=font-size:18px; bgcolor=#20c500>QTY</th>
<th style=font-size:18px; bgcolor=#20c500>Actual Price</th>
<th style=font-size:18px; bgcolor=#20c500>Selling Price</th>
<th style=font-size:18px; bgcolor=#20c500>Difference</th>
<th style=font-size:18px; bgcolor=#20c500>Date</th>
</tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
echo "<tr align=center bgcolor=#e3e3e3>";
echo "<td style='font-size:18px; font-weight:bold;'>" . strtoupper($row['item_no']) . "</td>";
echo "<td style='font-size:18px; font-weight:bold;'>" . $row['qty'] . "</td>";
echo "<td style='font-size:18px; font-weight:bold;'>" . $row['actual_price'] . " <font style=font-size:12px;>JD</font></td>";
echo "<td style='font-size:18px; font-weight:bold;'>" . $row['discount_price'] . " <font style=font-size:12px;>JD</font></td>";
echo "<td style='font-size:18px; font-weight:bold;'>" . $row['difference_price'] . " <font style=font-size:12px;>JD</font></td>";
echo "<td style='font-size:18px; font-weight:bold;'>" . date("d-m-Y",strtotime($row['date'])) . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "<table>";
If you're wanting to fetch items from a database and display a row for each of them, this is how you'd do it with jQuery.
Your PHP script:
<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'user', 'password', 'database');
$sql = "SELECT item_no FROM items";
$res = $mysqli->query($sql);
while ($row = $res->fetch_assoc()) {
$rows[] = $row['item_no'];
}
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($rows);
?>
And your HTML with the table:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th scope="col">Item No.</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
<script src="js/lib/jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$.getJSON('yourscript.php', function(items) {
$.each(items, function(i, item) {
$('tbody').append('<tr><td>' + item + '</td></tr>);
});
});
});
</script>
I've also used MySQLi (MySQL improved) rather than the standard mysql_ functions, as the mysql_ library is deprecated and you should be using either MySQLi or PDO now.
I am using an open source calendar to display events, I am having a trouble to add extra fields to event display form. Could anyone please indicate where I need to add code so more fields can be displayed.
Please could anyone kindly help me.
Many Thanks.

To the best of my understanding writePosting function does most of the job and you need to enhance it to display more info about current event.
I've added a new table row at the end of this code sample to illustrate the idea.
<tr bgcolor="#CCFFCC">
<td bgcolor="#CCFFCC"><span class="display_txt"><?php echo $body ?></span></td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#CCFFCC">
<td bgcolor="#CCFFCC"align="right"><span class="display_user"><?php echo $postedby ?></td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#CCFFCC">
<td align="right" bgcolor="#CCFFCC"><?php echo $editstr ?></td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#CCFFCC">
<td align="right" bgcolor="#CCFFCC"><?php echo "some extra info" ?></td>
</tr>
