Hi I've got some form for uploading files through php script, where user pick a one category, than second sub-category and then type of file.
I have to upload it on server into correct directory and path will looks like ..../category/sub-category/type/file.xxx --- and then I put whole absolute path to my database
By now I've got triple nested switch, is there any other way how to do it in better way?
Thanks a lot!
There is a pic of HTML code and PHP -- > http://oi59.tinypic.com/352qclx.jpg
Not sure at what point does the switch come in. However, can't you just do something like following in a single statement?
$complete_filepath = "..../$category/$sub_category/$type/$filename";
May be a multi-demension array will help you to solve it. like this:
$arr_dir_conf = array("dir_conf" =>
array("category1" =>
array("sub_category1" =>
array("type1" => "directory/category1/sub_category1/type1"),
...
array("typen" => "directory/category1/sub_category1/typen")
),
...
array("sub_categoryn" =>
...
),
),
...
);
Then you just use the array like this:
move_uploaded_files($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],
$arr_dir_conf[$category][$subcategory][$type]);

I am having difficulty with the proper layout for this piece of code I have been talking with another IT support person and we are both at a bit of a loss
I am trying to utilize an API call and I am trying to come up with the proper syntax
I am using a PHP POST call and CURL along with an array of variable names and values for the most part it works
The problem is that a few variable names are not recognized and the other support person thought we needed to change things up a bit
The documentation states there may be a change we need to setup these variable ahead of time
the structure needs to be something like this CDATA block:
<profileFieldValues>
<fieldValue id="_sys_firstname">
<value>Jeff</value>
</fieldValue>
<fieldValue id="_sys_lastname">
<value>Johnson</value>
</fieldValue>
</profileFieldValues>
WE are using a structure like this
$fields = array(
'restype' => '2',
'username' => 'abc123',
...,
)
So what would the profileFieldValues block of code be written to work in the $fields array?
We were trying something like this but it was not correct
'profileFieldValues'=>"fieldValue id[]=>('_sys_firstname=>'value'=>'Charlie','_sys_lastname=>'value'=>'Brown')",
we received an error with this:
The user profile field elements are not properly formatted
I have a slider in the index page, which has 3 pictures and this pictures has links. What is the best way to change pictures and links: make db table sliders:
id
pic
link
and work with it, or make in config->settings.php something like this:
<?php
return [
'new_products_count' => 6,
'popular_products_count' => 6,
'paginate' => 20,
'admin_paginate' => 10,
'slider'=>[
1=>['img'=>'1.jpg','link'=>'www1'],
2=>['img'=>'2.jpg','link'=>'www2'],
3=>['img'=>'3.jpg','link'=>'www3']
]
];
and work with it like this:
Config::set('settings.slider[1]['img']=>'newimg.jpg')
Config::set('settings.slider[1]['link']=>'newWWW')
?
Would be safer to keep in the database for a couple of reasons.
1- If you cache your configuration, it may sometimes behave like a buggy application. I mean after changing an image and coming back, you may see the previous image displaying again. Because what you change at runtime is not persisted. Try to update a config option, e.g:
config(['database.connections.sqlite.driver' => 'fake']);
Then go check the file. tadaaa... the file didn't change.
2- You database is unlimited. YOu can add an infinite number of images (links) with much more options. Of course, you can also pass options to config() but using Eloquent or Query builder is more flexible.
I am newbie in Yii2. Please help me to achieve this. I want to know how to create absoluteurl in yii2. I have tried the code given below but I want something different.
echo Yii::$app->urlManager->createAbsoluteUrl(['site/confirm', 'id' => $user->id,'code' => $user->token,'&']);
output is http://car-rental.demoinja.com/site/confirm/69?code=275a9253dfc81efa47be4fdf1fc6a927&1=%26
But I want the url like this
http://car-rental.demoinja.com/site/confirm/?id=69&code=275a9253dfc81efa47be4fdf1fc6a927
No need to add '&' in createAbsoluteUrl function; so you need to use following function.
<?php echo Yii::$app->urlManager->createAbsoluteUrl(['site/confirm', 'id' => $user->id,'code' => $user->token]); ?>
I want to check for a posted data if present so that I can set a form field as required or not, without having to create a custom rule.
Is it possible to use/load/call CodeIgniter's input library inside the config file (specifically the form_validation.php config file) and get user posted data without having to use the native $_POST variable?
my code goes something like this...
...
array(
'field' => 'dob_day',
'label' => 'Day',
'rules' => (($this->ci->input->post('include_person') === 'yes') ? 'required|' : '') . 'integer|max_length[2]|greater_than[0]|less_than[32]|valid_birth_date'
),
...
Obviously, my approach does not work. hehe. If there's an alternative efficient codeigniter way of doing what i'm thinking, please let me know.
Thanks for all your help! :)
See this:
MANUAL
try this example, in this mode you can at runtime change your rules:
$this->form_validation->set_rules('dob_day', 'Day', 'your new rules');
Okay, I ended up with putting the logic in the controller, and just using inline validation. But to have inline validation work without having to set all the rules, I used the code from this website to allow both inline and config rules to mix.

Ok for sure this has been asked and answered already but i somehow can't find a proper tutorial.
I want to keep the text displayed to users somewhere else and to prevent my code from becoming too large and unreadable.
My site won't be internationalized. I just want to have some kind of file with key-value structure and get the text from there. I want to keep the text in files, not in the database as some tutorials suggest.
I found a solution which will work but i am not sure whether this is a good approach.
I am thinking of using parse_ini_file and to keep my texts in .ini file. Is there something wrong with this approach? Could you suggest something better?
I put all language data in arrays. Its easy and also we can add multi-language support
lang/en.php
<?php
return array(
'index' => 'Homepage',
'feedback' => 'Feedback'
'logout' => 'Logout from profile',
)
?>
lang/ru.php
<?php
return array(
'logout' => 'Выйти из профиля',
)
?>
Then we can load languages:
$lang = include('lang/en.php');
if(isset($_GET['lang']))
{
$lang = array_merge($lang, include('lang/ru.php'));
}
After all it $lang will look like:
Array
(
[index] => Homepage
[feedback] => Feedback
[logout] => Выйти из профиля
)
And we can very simple use it:
function __($name) {
global $lang;
return $lang[$name];
}
Somewhere in the site template:
...
<title><?=__('index')?></title>
</head>
<body>
<?=__('feedback')?>
why not use a plain text file with commas or some uncommon character to hold this data? you can read it and parse it into an array with
$file = file_get_contents("/path/to/file");
$lines = explode('\r', $file);
foreach($lines as $line) $message[substr($line, 0, strpos($line, ','))] = substr($line, strpos($line, ','));
then you should have an array like $messages[3] = "No soup for you!";
the file might look like:
1,The site is down.
2,Try again.
3,No soup for you!
4,Signs point to yes.
(I probably have some of the arguments misplaced in those functions - i always forget which is the needle and which the haystack.)
You can process your data in a script. In this script, you call a certain source (e.g. the ini file you suggest). Then you use a template engine. For this engine, you point towards a template file and give the template all the variables.
The template generates the html and inserts the variables at the right place. This way, you keep you php (business logic) code clean, away from the presentation (the template). Also you can manage the variables in one file (ini/xml but this can be something completely different).
For template engines, Smarty is the most known of all. There are also pure php-based template systems, just Google for them to find one that suits your needs.
I do like this:
$defaultLang = array('Home','Logout',etc)
$otherLang=array( 'ru' => array('Home_in_ru','logout_in_ru',etc);
you translate like this:
echo translate('Home');
function is:
function translate($msg) {
if ($_GET['lang']=='en')
return $msg;
return $otherLang[$_GET['lang']][array_search($msg,$defaultLang)];
}
// Note the function is simplified up there
As you can see the default case deosnt' need to load anything or do any operation, the function just returns back the argument passed
i like the answer with the lang/en.php file. but instead of a file for each language, i use a file for each web page (or class, etc). this keeps file sizes lower and i create a 3D array:
`return array( "EN" => array( "title" => "Welcome - Good Morning", ...),
"TG" => array( "title" => "Mabuhay - Magandang Umaga Po", ...)
);'
Real easy to add new language strings too...
This makes it real easy for language translation contractors since they can see the native language in close proximity to the foreign in 1 editor,,,
