[PHP] Turning string into a table

[zavaboy]

Is there a way to make for example:

// (Column info)
// String 1:
[This column holds
[Col 1]
[Col 2]]
[This second column holds
[Col 3]
[Col 4]]

// (Row)
// String 2:
[Col 1 (row1)]
[Col 2 (row1)]
[Col 3 (row1)]
[Col 4 (row1)]

// (Row)
// String 3:
[Col 1 (row2)]
[Col 2 (row2)]
[Col 3 (row2)]
[Col 4 (row2)]

// How do I turn the above strings into a table?
// Like this:



This column holds
This second column holds


Col 1
Col 2
Col 3
Col 4


Col 1 (row 1)
Col 2 (row 1)
Col 3 (row 1)
Col 4 (row 1)


Col 1 (row 2)
Col 2 (row 2)
Col 3 (row 2)
Col 4 (row 2)



You get the idea...
So, any idea how to do that?
I want it to work correctly no matter how many rows and columns there are.

[PHP] A MySQL question

[zavaboy]

Ok, I want to delete only 1 row off of a database table...
Example:
I have a table with columns "user" and "item"...
Lets say the table contains the following rows (user | item):
582-668243 | Toothbrush
582-668243 | Toothbrush
582-668243 | Toothbrush
582-668243 | Trash can
582-668243 | Trash can
582-668243 | Something else
582-668243 | Something else
582-668243 | Something else
582-668243 | Something else
720-387690 | Dog treats
720-387690 | Car
720-387690 | Car
720-387690 | Toothbrush
720-387690 | Toothbrush

Ok, user 582-668243 is buying a lot, eh? LoL
Anyway, how can I remove only 1 Toothbrush from user 582-668243?
I just want the query... I've been trying to find it out for a few hours
now...

Thanks in advance!

I have the following numbers:

How can I make them have at least 2 decimal places?
So, they will output:

*Sigh*, lets say I have:

I would like it at least 2 decimal places.. So, 5.2670 would be 5.267 not

2.65
3.30
5.267
12.03

[PHP] A long float number.

[zavaboy]

How do I prevent a long float number end up like this after/during a
calculation?

8.5E-05  //A number error occurs.

I even tried keeping the whole calculation in 1 line:

//Get the weight (in pounds) of a O-Ring.
$N = round((0.03613 * 1.85 * ((pow(pi(), 2) * pow(($iDia[$d] - $oDia[$d]),
2) * ($iDia[$d] + $oDia[$d])) / 32)), 6);

[PHP] Help with eval()

[zavaboy]

Hey,

I'm having problems with the eval() function...

if ($Sort == "Up") {
$do="<=";
} else {
$do=">=";
}
for ($i = $aNum; eval ('$i ' . $do . ' $bNum'); )
//So.. the above line acts like:
//for ($i = $aNum; $i <= $bNum; )
//...or...
//for ($i = $aNum; $i <= $bNum; )
{
i
if ($Sort == "Up") {
$i++;
} else {
$i--
}

Any idea how to make it work right?

Ok, it works now! Thanks!
Go visit what I'm working on at: http://zavaboy.jimbug.org/phptest/blog.php
I'm working on a blog, mainly for myself...
If you go there, tell me if the yellow days are clickable. Also tell me if
you see red dates on the blog.
I should be the only one to see those things because the PHP looks for a
matching IP.

Thanks again!

[PHP] Text file breaking!

[zavaboy]

Ok, I don't get it... I put a string to one line ( $string =
str_replace("\n", "", $string); ) but when I put it in a text file I see
breaks right before . For example:

I have a text area and type:
1
22
333

then, I take that string and replace \n with .
$string = str_replace("\n", "", $string);

then, I put the string in a txt file...
and here's what I see in the text file:
1
22
333

instead of:
122333

How can I make it that way?

Connect to the mysql server, select the db then use:

I can make one for free for you, I also have a friend that wants one too.
It may take me a week or two, when do you need it?

If you're willing to wait 3 weeks max, I can make it for free.
I can even put it in your site if you want.
I'm going to work on it now so incase you want it.
I will not have power on the 10th or 11th due to electrical work.

I'll tell you what, you email me for anything regarding this project.

I have it check if it exists, if it doesn't, then it reduces $sDate by 1.
$sDate is initially 3 to 31 days less than $Date.
By reducing $sDate by 1, it keeps looking, what if there are no more?
It keeps going until I reach 30 seconds, how can I set a time limit?

I have it on: http://zavaboy.jimbug.org/phptest/blog.php
Go to May 14, 2003 wait 30 seconds for the page to load and you'll see what

I don't want it to last 30 seconds and a error, I want 3 seconds max and no

[PHP] Can I run scripts on server?

[zavaboy]

Is there a way to have a PHP script run on the server? For example, I want
to run a script to erase old database fields at 12:00 AM server time without
any user interaction, how would I do that?

[PHP] Getting the FULL path

[zavaboy]

How do I get my FULL path... I made a web-based installer and it uses a
path.

Ok, my path to where I need it is:
/home/jimbug/public_html/zavaboy/phptest/ZML

Using dirname():
/phptest/ZML

Why is that?
How can I get PHP to output '/home/jimbug/public_html/zavaboy/phptest/ZML'
automatically?

Ok, thanks!
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].dirname($PHP_SELF)
was just what I wanted!

[PHP] Changing permissions

[zavaboy]

Ok, I have a installer that only works if the directory that's being
installed to has public writing permissions. I tried chmod() on the
directory, but I get a error. How can I make it so my installer can write in
a directory with the incorrect writing permissions?

Thanks!
