RE: [PHP] PHP OOP
[snip]I'm working for the first time with object orientated programming in php and I can't figure out how to access elements or methods when you place objects inside objects inside other objects. my origonal idea was to use the following syntax: $a->b->c but this just returns: $a->b . "->c" Please, need advice on the finer points of OOP in PHP [/snip] Here is a link to an article that helped get me started on oop in php http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/luis2420.php3 Daniel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] date question
Hello all,
I would like to create a php function as follows:
function get_next_dates($ndays) {
/*
1. get the current date
2. create an array say $results
3. Store the dates for the next $ndays in $results
*/
return $results
}
So in my main program I can include the file with the function and use
it as follows:
$next_4_days[0] -> 11/20
$next_4_days[1] -> 11/21
$next_4_days[2] -> 11/22
$next_4_days[3] -> 11/23
if today was 11/19
Is there an easy way to do this?
Can I somehow use something like getdate+7 say to get 7 days ahead?
many thanks,
Ahbaid
Try www.php.net/date

RE: [PHP] date conversion
Hi, is there a PHP function that will convert MM/DD/ to MMDD? Also I will need to take into affect some people may put in M/D/ (some people may put in 1 instead of 01, 2 instead of 02, etc). Is there a way to do this? take a look at these functions http://www.php.net/mktime http://www.php.net/strtotime http://www.php.net/date http://www.php.net/time they should put you on your way In addition to Matt's links I'd also suggest http://www.php.net/explode This can be used to help re arrange the dates (MM/DD/ to MMDD) with some ease, just explode on the / and then concat the explode arrays together in the order you want and save that to a variable.

If you take the results that the calculator gave you and divide them by 3 then you get your answer. So the caluclator divides it by b then you have to add in a part of it to divide by the 3.

RE: [PHP] OK SQL experts...

Why don't you try rebuilding the query. I mean go into phpmyadmin and
issue select * from `my_table` if that works. Then add on one where
clause
Select * FROM `my_table` WHERE (`field_1 LIKE '%key%' ) , and just put
it back together piece by piece until it breaks. That should at least
help narrow down what is breaking.

Take a look at your print statement, print =
"$tailed";
That should throw a parse error. Try print("" . $tailed .

RE: [PHP] PDF Creating
[snip] My question is how to I know how/where the pages will break, and how can I make the generation of the PDF files work automagically? The first page will always have a header set of information, and then the quote following it, all other pages will just have the quoted items. [/snip] My experience has been that the FPDF class will automagicly go to the next page. You can also play with the function SetAutoPageBreak (see their online documentation for this function's details) for a bit more customization. What I usually end up doing for a customized page break is loop through the data setting a counter and then when the counter gets to the point where it needs to break use the AddPage function. Basicly it involves a lot of trial and error, but it should be able to accomplish what you need. HTH!
