I have a simple image-looping script that changes the src of an image.
function cycleNext()
{
++imgIndex;
if(imgIndex>imgCount)
{
imgIndex = 1;
}
setImgSrc(imgIndex);
}
However, at present, I'm (shudder) manually entering imgCount in my script. The alternative is server-side, but I don't know how to fetch this information. I imagine it's pretty simple, though.
How can I use PHP to supply this script with the number of images in the folder?
<?php
$directory = "Your directory";
$filecount = count(glob("" . $directory . "*.jpg"));
$filecount += count(glob("" . $directory . "*.png"));
?>
Repeat the 2nd line for each extension you wish to count.
function cycleNext()
{
++imgIndex;
if (imgIndex > <?php echo $filecount;?>)
{
imgIndex = 1;
}
setImgSrc(imgIndex);
}
That should do it.
EDIT:
function cycleNext(imgCount)
{
++imgIndex;
if (imgIndex > imgCount)
{
imgIndex = 1;
}
setImgSrc(imgIndex);
}
Then when you call cycleNext, call it with the variable.
cycleNext(<?php echo $filecount; ?>);
if the .js file is a separate file. then you can do this:
change the .js for a .php
then you can add <?php ?> tags just like you do in your .php files.
just don't forget to add the header in the code, indicating that the file is a javascript file. like that:
<?php header("Content-type: text/javascript"); ?>
and you will call the file with it's actual name src="file.php"
You can do it in three ways:
Making your .js file a .php file (with the correct mime-type) and just use an echo in that .js.php-file
include the javascript to the <head> tag of your page
echo a variable into a <script> tag in your <head> and use it in your javascript file. Example:
<script type="text/javascript">
var imgCount = <?php echo $imagecount ?>
</script>;
During the generation of the HTML code, simply insert a <script> line, for instance
echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
echo 'var imgCount=' . $NumberOfImages . ';';
echo '</script>';
Just ensure that line is provided before cycleNext() is called (or imgCount is used).

This block of PHP code prints out some information from a file in the directory, but I want the information printed out by echo to be used inside the HTML below it. Any help how to do this? Am I even asking this question right? Thanks.
if(array_pop($words) == "fulltrajectory.xyz") {
$DIR = explode("/",htmlspecialchars($_GET["name"]));
$truncatedDIR = array_pop($DIR);
$truncatedDIR2 = ''.implode("/",$DIR);
$conffile = fopen("/var/www/scmods/fileviewer/".$truncatedDIR2."/conf.txt",'r');
$line = trim(fgets($conffile));
while(!feof($conffile)) {
$words = preg_split('/\s+/',$line);
if(strcmp($words[0],"FROZENATOMS") == 0) {
print_r($words);
$frozen = implode(",", array_slice(preg_split('/\s+/',$line), 1));
}
$line = trim(fgets($conffile));
}
echo $frozen . "<br>";
}
?>
The above code prints out some information using an echo. The information printed out in that echo I want in the HTML code below where it has $PRINTHERE. How do I get it to do that? Thanks.
$("#btns").html(Jmol.jmolButton(jmolApplet0, "select atomno=[$PRINTHERE]; halos on;", "frozen on")
You just need to make sure that your file is a php file..
Then you can use html tags with php scripts, no need to add it using JS.
It's as simple as this:
<div>
<?php echo $PRINTHERE; ?>
</div>
Do remember that PHP is server-side and JS is client-side. But if you really want to do that, you can pass a php variable like this:
<script>
var print = <?php echo $PRINTHERE; ?>;
$("#btns").html(Jmol.jmolButton(jmolApplet0, "select atomno="+print+"; halos on;", "frozen on"));
</script>
I'm trying to figure out how to update my live data, I found some examples on Google of Ajax but I can't seem to get them to work.
The part that contains and places the live data in a paragraph is :
$file = "Data.txt";
$data = file($file);
$line = $data[count($data)-1];
for($i=1;$i<6;$i++){
switch ($line) {
case $i:
echo "<p class ='bus".$i."'> <img id='bus' src = 'bus.png'> </p>";
break;
}
}
This is the full html file
<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
<head>
<title>Bus</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="stijlenbestand.css">
</head>
<body>
<?php
//aanmaken 5 bushaltes
echo '<figure>';
for($i=1;$i<6;$i++){
echo "<img src = 'bushalte.png'>";
}
echo '</figure>';
//laatste lijn van tekstbestand.
$file = "Data.txt";
$data = file($file);
$line = $data[count($data)-1];
for($i=1;$i<6;$i++){
switch ($line) {
case $i:
echo "<p class ='bus".$i."'> <img id='bus' src = 'bus.png'> </p>";
break;
}
}
?>
</body>
</html>
For a live update you need two parts.
First is the part where your page is and the second part is where your data comes from.
Php is a very static language. Once your script is finished it won't do anything anymore.
For a "live-website" you need Javascript.
if you want to use jQuery i would recommend you to use the jQuery.post() function.
jQuery Code in your Website:
$.post( "test.php", { name: "John", time: "2pm" })
.done(function( data ) {
alert( "Data Loaded: " + data );
});
Your test.php
if(isset($_POST['name'])) {
//Do Some Stuff
$a = 'var a';
echo json_encode($a);
}
This is not ajax. Ajax means having frontend code fetching new information on the background. This information then gets appended to the DOM. (Usually the information is transfered as JSON encoded data but lets keep that out of scope.)
For this you need two files:
A frontend file (for instance static index.html with some content)
A backend file providing the data
The frontend file would run some JavaScript then requests the backend file
The backend file responds and returns some output
The javascript adds output to the DOM.
There are many ways of doing this and I don't have the te time to explain all of it here but you might want to have a look at: http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_ajax_intro.asp
This provides a simple example based on jQuery.
I need to call a function from index.php in another file example.php. If I use include it also takes all the html from index.php. I just want the result of the function. Any way to do this?
$rs = odbc_exec($con, $sql);
if (!$rs) {
exit("There is an error in the SQL!");
}
$data[0] = array('D','CPU_Purchased_ghz');
$i = 1;
while($row = odbc_fetch_array($rs)) {
$data[$i] = array(
$row['D'],
$row['CPU_Purchased_ghz']
);
$i++;
}
//odbc_close($con); // Closes the connection
$json = json_encode($data); // Generates the JSON, saves it in a variable
echo $json;
Basically that piece of code in index.php takes info from a file which queries a db and encodes it in json. Instead of echoing I wanted to make a function that echos the json and call it in a new file to only get the json displayed on the page
create a functions.php file. Add the function to that file and include the file in your example.php file
Include the file before you call the function.
See below examples:
index.php
<?php
function myFunction() { //function .
return "FirstProgram"; //returns
}
?>
Now Using include http://php.net/include to include the index.php to make its content available for use in the second file:
example.php
<?php
include('index.php');
echo myFunction(); //returns myFunction();
?>
index.php
function myFunction() {
return "It works!";
}
example.php
include('index.php');
echo myFunction();
i have a large number of files with several id's in each file. For example file1.php contains a number of paragraphs, each paragraph has a unique id. (id="1",id="2",id="3" etc...) I would like the ability to create a link to a page (page A.php) and pass the location of one of these id's in the url of the link to display in a php include on page A.php The result that i'm looking for is to have the entire file (file1.php) show up inside of page A.php with the specific id that is passed in the url being highlighted. Is this possible? or do I need to use Java Script and an iframe?
Here is what I ended up with:
The url: http://mydomain/thispage.php?xul=http://mydomain.com/folder1/folder2/file.php&id=Abc150:176
The code:
Stylesheet .vrsehilite{styling}
<script type="text/javascript">var x = <?php echo json_encode($_GET["id"]); ?>;</script>
<?php
$invdmn = "<h2>Error: Invalid Domain</h2>";
$filnf = "<h2>Error: File Not Found</h2>";
$pthinv = "<h2>Error: The Path is invalid</h2>";
$idinv = "<h2>Error: The ID is invalid</h2>";
$oops = "<br/><h2>Oops! Something went wrong.<br/><br/>Please click the back button or use the menu to go to a new page.</h2>";
$testdomain = substr_compare ($_GET['xul'],"http://mydomain.com",0,20,FALSE); //make sure the domain name is correct
if ($testdomain == 0) {
$flurl = $_GET['xul'];
} else {
echo $invdmn . " " . $oops;
}
$flurl_headers = #get_headers ($flurl);
if ($flurl_headers[0] == 'HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found') {
echo $filnf . " " . $oops; //Make sure the file exist
} else {
$surl = str_replace (".com/",".com/s/",$flurl);
} //add some characters to url at point to explode
list($url1, $path) = explode ("/s/",$surl); //explode into array of 2 [0]url to domain [1] path
$testpath = substr_compare ($path,"file1/file2/",0,10,FALSE); //make sure the path is correct
if ($testpath == "0") {
$aid = preg_match ("/^[A-Z][a-z]{2}(?:[1-9][0-9]?|1[0-4][0-9]|150):(?:[1-9][0-9]?|1[0-6][0-9]|17[0-6])$/", $_GET['id']);
} else { //make sure the id is valid
echo $pthinv . " " . $oops;
}
if ($aid == 1) {
include($path);
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
echo "document.getElementById(x).className = 'vrsehilite';";
echo "document.getElementById(x).scrollIntoView();";
echo "window.scrollBy(0,-100);";
echo "</script>";
} else {
echo $idinv . " " . $oops;
}
?>
Never ever include arbitrary files submitted by the user. Instead, you should only include files from a pre-defined set of your choice. Perhaps something like this:
PHP
$files = array ('file1.php', 'file2.php', 'view.php', 'edit.php');
$id = (int)$_GET['id'];
if (isset ($files[$id])) {
include $files[$id];
} else {
/* Error */
}
Or you could use a regular expression to accept only certain filenames, in this case 1 or more lower case letters followed by 0 or more digits.
$m = array ();
if ( preg_match ('#^http://domain.example/folder1/folder2/([a-z]+[0-9]*\\.php)$#', $m)
&& file_exists ($m[1])) {
include $m[1];
} else {
/* Page not found */
}
You may want to check the return value of include. You may also want to move the folders into the subpattern (...) or use regular expressions for the folder names.
If all you need is to highlight a certain paragraph in a page, you should add a URL fragment that poins to the paragraph's id, and add CSS to style it. Eg:
URL
http://domain.example?id=1#p1
HTML
<p id=p1>This is the target paragraph.
CSS
p:target { /* Style the targeted <p> element */ }
I like to get a dir listing in php
glob("*.jpg");
or
$dir = '.'; //requested directory to read
$notthat = array('.', '..'); //what not to include
$listedfiles = array_diff(scandir($dir), $notthat); // removed what not to include
so i like to send that array to a javascript like that (slides = $listedfiles)
function startSlideshow(slides) { .. do something..}
What is the best way to do that ?
json_encode is your friend for this. No looping is necessary. It will return a pure json object string that you can then just echo into your js file using PHP. Example:
var slides = <?php echo json_encode( $filelistarray );?>
function startSlideshow(slides) { .. do something..}
you can always just do an echo of it to a javascript :
echo ' <script type="text/javascript">
var filelist = [];
';
foreach($listedfiles as $file)
{
echo " filelist[] = $file; ";
}
echo "</script>";
PHP and Javascript cannot directly interact, however, you can output Javascript from PHP the same way you can output plain text or HTML:
<script type="text/javascript">
var slides = [];
<?php
foreach ($listedfiles as $file)
{
echo "slides[] = '" . addslashes($file) . "';\n";
}
?>
// ... do js stuff
</script>
Basically, after creating your array in PHP, you output the JS code to create the same array in javascript.
