How to convert input text to image? - php

I've created a rating star system that allows user to rate 1-5.
How do I change the numbers 1-5 to stars?
These are the codes below that show the numbers for the user to rate.
<?php foreach(range(1,5)as $rating):?>
<a href="rate.php?article= <?php echo $article->id; ?> &rating= <?php echo $rating ; ?> ">
<?php echo $rating; ?> </a>
<?php endforeach;?>
Are there any ways I can convert them to an image or do I have to redo my code?

Yeah for sure.
<?php foreach(range(1,5)as $rating):?>
<a href="rate.php?article= <?php echo $article->id; ?> &rating= <?php echo $rating ; ?> ">
<?php echo '<img src="images/rating_'.$rating.'.png">'; ?> </a>
<?php endforeach;?>
Now simply create the folder images and insert rating_1.png, rating_2.png and so on.
BTW: Maybe it is easier and better for you when you use it in this way (only to show):
<?php
$bla = $article->id;
foreach(range(1,5)as $rating){
echo('
<a href="rate.php?article='.$bla.'&rating='.$rating.'">
<img src="images/rating_'.$rating.'.png">
</a>
');
}
?>

Variable not being formatted with CSS - Magento

When I echo my own variable to a div container it comes out as plaint text (unformatted). I don't understand why echoing a Magento variable comes out formatted but mine doesn't? Here's my code, in particular the <?php if(!isset($specialPrice)): { ?> section which I created. Here is the code:
<div class="product">
<a href="<?php echo $_item->getProductUrl() ?>"
title="<?php echo $this->escapeHtml($_item->getName()) ?>" class="product-image"><img
src="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_item, 'thumbnail') ?>"
alt="<?php echo $this->escapeHtml($_item->getName()) ?>"/></a>
<div class="product-details">
<p class="product-name">
<?php echo $this->escapeHtml($_item->getName()) ?>
</p>
<?php $specialPrice = $productToCheck->getData('special_price');
$orignalPrice = $productToCheck->getData('price');
?>
<?php if(!isset($specialPrice)): { ?>
<?php echo $product['price'] ?>
<?php } else: { ?>
<?php echo $specialPrice ?>
<?php } endif ?>
</div>
</div>
Echoing $product['price'] shows up with its CSS like this:
but if it enters the ELSE statement to display my variable it shows like this:
Does anyone know what could be going wrong?
$product['price'] returns you a unformatting price value.
Maybe you can call a block function, for example $block->getPrice() and in getPrice() you need to format the price by your custom preferences.
If you want to add styles to your price value then you need to use a magento tag class

Page goes blank after adding to PHP foreach

Hello after I add some code to this PHP foreach the page goes blank and all I can see is a round black dot at the top left of screen.
My website is in Joomla3 and I am trying to customize a module. my site is http://get2gethersports.com
I have a recent post module that only shows the articles title.
that code is posted below
<?php if ($items) { ?>
<ul class="rsblog-recent-module unstyled<?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx',''); ?>">
<?php foreach ($items as $item) { ?>
<li>
<a <?php echo $opener; ?> href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_rsblog&view=post&id='.RSBlogHelper::sef($item->id,$item->alias).$Itemid,false); ?>">
<?php echo $item->title; ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
I would like to add an image abocve like the blog feed on http://vape-co.com
So I navigated to the component and saw the call for the image. which is posted below:
<div class="rsblog-entry-content">
<?php if ($this->item->image) { ?>
<div class="rsblog-entry-image">
<img class="rsblog-entry-thumb img-polaroid" src="<?php echo JURI::root().'components/com_rsblog/assets/images/blog/'.$this->item->image; ?>?nocache=<?php echo uniqid(''); ?>" alt="<?php echo $this->escape($this->item->title); ?>">
</div>
<?php } ?>
but whenever i add it or a snippet of it to the previous code it breaks....
Any ideas why it is breaking the page and how to fix it?
I tried adding in new li tags. Just adding the PHP part above the a link etc...
CODE UPDATE----
<?php if ($items) { ?>
<ul class="rsblog-recent-module unstyled<?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx',''); ?>">
<?php foreach ($items as $item) { var_dump($item);?>
<li>
<div class="rsblog-entry-content">
<?php if ($this->item->image) { ?>
<div class="rsblog-entry-image">
<img class="rsblog-entry-thumb img-polaroid" src="<?php echo JURI::root().'components/com_rsblog/assets/images/blog/'.$this->item->image; ?>?nocache=<?php echo uniqid(''); ?>" alt="<?php echo $this->escape($this->item->title); ?>">
</div>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<a <?php echo $opener; ?> href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_rsblog&view=post&id='.RSBlogHelper::sef($item->id,$item->alias).$Itemid,false); ?>">
<?php echo $item->title; ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
Try $item->image instead of $this->item->image
Correct code. Looks like it just needed some reduction.
<?php if ($items) { ?>
<ul class="rsblog-recent-module unstyled<?php echo $params -> get('moduleclass_sfx',''); ?>">
<?php foreach ($items as $item) { ?>
<li>
<?php if($item->image != '') ?>
<img src="components/com_rsblog/assets/images/blog/<?php echo $item->image;?>" alt="<?php echo $item->title. "logo";?>" width="100px"/>
<br/>
<a <?php echo $opener; ?> href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_rsblog&view=post&id='.RSBlogHelper::sef($item->id,$item->alias).$Itemid,false); ?>">
<?php echo $item->title; ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>

substr not working with $item->getTitle

I'm making a website with Joomla and am using RokSprocket to display some news. Now, some Titles are too long, so I wanted to shorten it after a certain character number, but it's not working. Am a total php noob, my apologies.
Here's the whole code:
<li data-lists-item>
<h4 class="sprocket-lists-title ">
<?php if ($item->custom_can_have_link): ?><a href="<?php echo $item->getPrimaryLink()->getUrl(); ?>"><?php endif; ?>
<?php if(strlen($item->getTitle)>10)
echo substr($item->getTitle,0,10) . ' ...';
else
echo $item->getTitle();?></a>
<div class="date"><?php echo date('d.M. Y', strtotime($item->getDate()));?></div>
</h4>
<span class="sprocket-lists-item" data-lists-content>
<span class="sprocket-padding">
<?php if ($item->getPrimaryImage()) :?>
<img src="<?php echo $item->getPrimaryImage()->getSource(); ?>" class="sprocket-lists-image" />
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo $item->getText(); ?>
<?php if ($item->getPrimaryLink()) : ?>
<span><?php rc_e('READ_MORE'); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>
</span>
</span>
</li>
I'm hoping it's something very obvious and I'm just being stupid. Thanks a bunch already!
$item->getTitle is probably a method not a property, so try:
$item->getTitle(); // <-- parenthesis
Change to:
<?php if(strlen($item->getTitle())>10)
echo substr($item->getTitle(),0,10) . ' ...';

Format output to lowercase

I need to change the output of <?php echo $EM_Category->name; ?> to lowercase only.
Output now is Entertainment. How would I get it to entertainment
Full section of code is:
<?php foreach(EM_Categories::get(array('orderby'=>'category_name')) as $EM_Category): ?>
<a href="<?php echo THEME_URL; ?>/events/category/<?php echo $EM_Category->name; ?>" class="browse-cat">
<span><?php echo $EM_Category->name; ?></span><img src="<?php echo THEME_URL; ?>/images/box_arrow.png" alt="arrow" height="15" width="15">
</a>
<?php endforeach; ?>
That would be the strtolower function.
<?php echo strtolower($EM_Category->name); ?>
<?php echo strtolower($EM_Category->name); ?>
http://us.php.net/strtolower
<?php echo strtolower($EM_Category->name); ?>
In PHP you use:
echo strtolower($EM_Category->name);

Magento - pull one single customer review

I've been trying to pull one single customer review onto the product page.
I've no code to show as honestly i'm not sure where to start and can't find any mention of it online.
Anyone have any ideas?
I wrote a tutorial earlier on bringing all the review elements onto the product page, so you could follow this tutorial: http://www.e-commercewebdesign.co.uk/blog/magento-tutorials/product-reviews-on-product-view-page.php
All you'd have to do is rename the list block and bring it out in the same way. Then simply modify the loop which brings out the reviews in any way you see fit. E.g. limit to a certain number or only echo out review from a certain user.
EDIT:
To get the latest review is quite simple because the reviews are in date order anyway.
Go to review > product > list.phtml
Replace the code in that file with this:
<?php $_items = $this->getReviewsCollection()->getItems();?>
<div class="box-collateral box-reviews" id="customer-reviews">
<?php if (count($_items)):?>
<h2><?php echo $this->__('Customer Reviews') ?></h2>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('toolbar') ?>
<dl>
<?php $r_count = 0; ?>
<?php foreach ($_items as $_review):?>
<?php if ($r_count == 0) { ?>
<dt>
<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_review->getTitle()) ?> <?php echo $this->__('Review by <span>%s</span>', $this->htmlEscape($_review->getNickname())) ?>
</dt>
<dd>
<?php $_votes = $_review->getRatingVotes(); ?>
<?php if (count($_votes)): ?>
<table class="ratings-table">
<col width="1" />
<col />
<tbody>
<?php foreach ($_votes as $_vote): ?>
<tr>
<th><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($_vote->getRatingCode()) ?></th>
<td>
<div class="rating-box">
<div class="rating" style="width:<?php echo $_vote->getPercent() ?>%;"></div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</tbody>
</table>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo nl2br($this->htmlEscape($_review->getDetail())) ?>
<small class="date"><?php echo $this->__('(Posted on %s)', $this->formatDate($_review->getCreatedAt()), 'long') ?></small>
</dd>
<?php } ?>
<?php $r_count++; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</dl>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('toolbar') ?>
<?php endif;?>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('review_form') ?>
</div>
I've simple put an interator into the loop $r_count and put a check inside the foreach which prevent it from progressing on the next loop iteration.
