Little Active record views updating - php

I need little Active record help. I am trying to update page views which i store in database. Each time post() function runs, add +1 . Here is my code:
public function post($id) {
if($id == NULL){
redirect('blog');
}
else{
$this->db->where('entry_id',$id);
$this->db->set('views','views+1');
$this->db->update('entry');
Please help!

Correct your code like this for example:
public function post($id) {
if(!isset($id) || (int) $id<=0){
header('Location: /blog');
}
else{
$this->db->where('entry_id',$id);
$this->db->set('views','views+1');
$this->db->update('entry');
}
Mark the header('Location: /blog') - you should put here your real server path to the blog.
If you use a custom redirection function, like your redirect() then check if the is an output before calling her. Header redirection only works if no other output is sent to the browser before invoking it.

public function post($id) {
if($id == NULL){
redirect('blog');
}
else{
$this->db->where('entry_id',$id);
$this->db->set('views','views+1',FALSE);
$this->db->update('entry');
FALSE turns off Active record escaping,by default it ignores +1.

Redirect after a DB update

So, I'm using this php function to update a database in a site.
public function ativo($id, $ativo) {
if ($ativo == 0) {
$data['ATIVO'] = 1;
}
if ($ativo == 1) {
$data['ATIVO'] = 0;
}
$this->db->where('CLIENTE.idCLIENTE', $id);
$this->db->update('CLIENTE', $data);
header("Location: -imagine-a-web-address-here");
}
The problem is, I keep getting a blank page after the db update, so the header() isn't really helping me.
Is there any problem with the code or other function to redirect to the address? Thx for the help.
What is the error you got?
Try this;
header('location:'.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']); or redirect($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

Issue with redirect() when using conditional to evaluate multiple form buttons

So I've built a small conditional to evaluate which button is pressed in my form (as there are 2). This works fine and fires off the correct method and writes the appropriate data to the DB, however my redirect is not working. It saves() to the DB and then simply stays on the page designated as the POST route.
I suspect the problem has something to do with my conditional and the use of $this.
Here is my check_submit method:
public function check_submit()
{
if(!is_null(Input::get('add_to_invoice'))){
$this->invoice_add_item();
} elseif(!is_null(Input::get('complete_invoice'))) {
$this->invoice_complete();
}
}
Here is one of the 2 methods which I am currently testing:
public function invoice_add_item()
{
$input = Request::all();
$invoice_items = new Expense;
$invoice_items->item_id = $input['item_id'];
$invoice_items->category_id = $input['category'];
$invoice_items->price = $input['price'];
$invoice_items->store_id = $input['store'];
if(Input::has('business_expense'))
{
$invoice_items->business_expense = 1;
}
else{
$invoice_items->business_expense = 0;
}
$invoice_items->save();
return redirect('/');
}
Perhaps there is a better way of handling this in my routes(web) file, but I'm not sure how to go about this.
You should add the return to the check_submit() method. Something like
public function check_submit()
{
if(!is_null(Input::get('add_to_invoice'))){
return $this->invoice_add_item();
} elseif(!is_null(Input::get('complete_invoice'))) {
return $this->invoice_complete();
}
}
Better yet, you should probably return a boolean on invoice_add_item() and based on that, redirect the user to the correct place (or with some session flash variable with an error message)

Error on function php

I want go to the home pages as the privilege of user that current logged in.
When i am trying to open the page that having the link it goes to the home page. What changes that i need on my code
<body>
Home
</body
function home()
{
if($_SESSION['privillage']=="ADMIN")
{
header('location:admin_home.php');
}
elseif($_SESSION['privillage']=='SUPERVISOR')
{
header('location:home.php');
}
else
{
header('location:user_home.php');
}
}
Your function is being used inside an <a href="...">, so it's clearly supposed to return a URL (also you need to echo it)
Your current code is trying to redirect the user immediately, which won't work because you've already sent <a href=".
Try:
function home() {
if($_SESSION['privillage'] == "ADMIN") return "admin_home.php";
if($_SESSION['privillage'] == "SUPERVISOR") return "home.php";
return "user_home.php";
}
header('location is used if you want a PHP script to redirect the browser to another page. What you are trying to do is simply changing the href based on certain conditions.
function home()
{
if($_SESSION['privillage']=="ADMIN")
{
return 'admin_home.php';
}
elseif($_SESSION['privillage']=='SUPERVISOR')
{
return 'home.php';
}
else
{
return 'user_home.php';
}
}
For readability, you could consider using PHP's switch statement
may be you have to capitalize the first letter of "location" use "Location" in header('Location:user_home.php'); :)

Laravel 4: using controller to redirect page if post does not exist - tried but failed so far

I'm working with Laravel 4, I have a page that shows posts e.g. example.com/posts/1 shows the first post from the db.
What I want to do is redirect the page to the index if someone tries to go to a url that doesn't exist.
e.g. if there was no post number 6 then example.com/posts/6 should redirect to example.com/posts
Here is what I have, is it on track at all?
public function show($id)
{
$post = $this->post->findOrFail($id);
if($post != NULL)
{
return View::make('posts.show', compact('post'));
}
else
{
return Redirect::route('posts.index');
}
}
Any ideas? Thanks :)
Exactly as Rob explained, you will need to do the following:
At the top of your file:
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException;
Then within your show($id) method:
try
{
$post = $this->post->findOrFail($id);
return View::make('posts.show', compact('post'));
}
catch(ModelNotFoundException $e)
{
return Redirect::route('posts.index');
}
The method findOrFail() will throw an Exception if the page is not found. So if you wrap a try { ... } catch() { ... } around it, you can return a view of a redirect.

Codeigniter - Checking if a GET request is made

Im using CodeIgniter to write a site ... I understand $_GET requests are now used like so www.website.com/function/value .. and in the controller getting a url segment is written like so:
$userId = $this->uri->segment(3, 0);
Im just wondering, when a controller loads, i want to check if there is any uri segments, if there is then push to one view, else if there isnt a uri segment push to another.
Is that possible?
cheers.
You can use your controller arguments for that too.
When accessing /user/profile/1 your controller named User will call the method profile() and pass the number 1 as the first argument to your method. Like so:
class User extends CI_Controller {
{
public function index()
{
$this->load->view("user_index");
}
public function profile ( $userId = null )
{
if( (int)$userId > 0 )
$this->load->view("user_profile");
else
$this->load->view("another_view");
}
}
This is a very basic sample and I'm just trying to show the idea.
Seems like your asking two questions...
First, to check if the request is get
public function get_test()
{
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "GET")
{
//do something from get
echo "GET";
}
else
{
//do something not get
echo "NOT GET";
}
}
The next question seemed to be checking uri segments
public function get_test()
{
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "GET")
{
//do something from get
//echo "GET";
if($this->uri->segment(3)) //is true as is not empty
{
echo $this->uri->segment(3);
}
else
{
echo "I am nothing without my URI Segment";
}
}
else
{
//do something not get
echo "NOT GET";
}
}
As I understand you can use PHP default value.
function myFunction($var1 = NULL) {... if($var1 === NULL) ...}
Now if you do not pass the param you will get the NULL value.
I am still not using version 2 of codeigniter but this framework do not accept get requests; unless you mess with the configuration. Theres a function $this->input->get('myGet') you should look around at de the codeigniter.com/user_guide
