Php Class For Beginners. Question Will Be Treated With High Priority.

why d question mark (?) and the codes u gave me are not work for how i want it. maybe more explaination would do. Thnx so much

@fluxdon
I was waiting for you to tell us if u clear or not so dat I can continue. but it seems you are a clear so I can continue


@YAWA-TI-DE
thanks

fluxdon:
don't you mean, "walk thru d gauntlet"? 

quad:
anytime. tis always a pleasure

guy, I don know your aim but u should look elsewhere abi u need cane.

Now what is cane and gauntlet doing on this thread?

I don't do blogs but if it is anything like joomla then perhaps the problem is that you can't post raw html code directly on the page.  You will need to add it to a module (that is what joomla calls it and/or download some kind of plugin that will enable you to add html code directly on a page.

Any other suggestions?

Thanx a lot it has to do with Cms.That was my original plan was thinking i cud pull it off without database maybe outputing to text but security wise not cool.Just gonna take it slowly don't want my head to explode.Don't mind if i disturb ya from time to time for guidance.Learning on my own is good and bad cuz i get no direction.Safe you guys keep up the work esp dhtml,quad,ywtde

Welcome Back,

sorry for d long break, Too many deadline to meet up wit.

In this lesson you will learn how to store, display, and manipulate date and time values in PHP.

Date Formats
PHP does not have a native date data type, so in order to store date values in a script, you must first decide on the best way to store these values.

Do-It-Yourself Date Formats
Although you often see dates written in a structured format, such as 05/03/1974 or 2001-12-31, these are not ideal formats for working with date values. However, the latter of these two is more suitable than the first because the order of its components is from most significant (the year) to the least significant (the day), so values can be compared using the usual PHP operators.

As a string, 2002-01-01 is greater than 2001-12-31, but because comparisons are performed more efficiently on numbers than on strings, this could be written better as just 20020201, where the format is YYYYMMDD. This format can be extended to include a time portionagain, with the most significant elements firstas YYYYMMDDHHMMSS, for example.

However, date arithmetic with this format is nearly impossible. While you can add one to 20040501, for instance, and find the next day in that month, simply adding one to 20030531 would result in a nonsense date of May 32.

Unix Timestamp Format
The Unix timestamp format is an integer representation of a date and time. It is a value that counts the number of seconds since midnight on January 1, 1970.

The Unix Epoch A timestamp with integer value zero represents precisely midnight, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), on January 1, 1970. This date is known as the Unix Epoch.

Right now, we have a 10-digit date and time timestamp. To find the current timestamp, you use the time function:

echo time();



The Unix timestamp format is useful because it is very easy to perform calculations on because you know that the value always represents a number of seconds. For example, you can just add 3,600 to a timestamp value to increase the time by one hour or add 86,400 to add one daybecause there are 3,600 seconds in an hour and 86,400 seconds in a day.

One drawback, however, is that the Unix timestamp format cannot handle dates prior to 1970. Although some systems may be able to use a negative timestamp value to count backward from the Epoch, this behavior cannot be relied on.

Timestamps are good for representing contemporary date values, but they may not always be suitable for handling dates of birth or dates of historical significance. You should consider what values you will be working with when deciding whether a timestamp is the correct format to use.

Timestamp Limitations The maximum value of a Unix timestamp depends on the system's architecture. Most systems use a 32-bit integer to store a timestamp, making the latest time it can represent 3:14am on January 19, 2038.

see you in d next class.

pls i need your help can you email with this address robhilson24@rediff.com to teach me how to upload php script on the server. with pictures. step by step guide from you


 or if anyone out their can help me

so, it not like u were ignored.

If u still need to chat my yahoo IM is quadri20_wale, or call 08077796668


SAFE

you ve to be specific with your question,

What type of numbers are u generating? (i.e. what do you want to use it for. e.g. PIN, SERIAL e.t.c)

actually everyone loves to help u but u ve to be more specific on wat u want.

which script are u trying to install.

every scripts has different way u will install dem.

so please for d sake of urself and people dat wants to help you.

make your question a bit clearer

sorry to derail y'all. . . . .

but am tryna save the path to a picture file in a mysql table thru a form on a page, then display the picture in a page but its just not working - the insert is not entering filepath/filename of the picture into the table.

When I leave out the picture field, it works - all other values are stored in the table; what can i do!?

1. I suppose so. . . used VARCHAR (255) for that field, that ok?

2. Nope, don't have a clue how; didn't even think it was necessary

4. Doesn't insert any values into the table


Thanks aplenty!

k,

Try #2 and get back to us.

good luck!

Sooo, I have decided to take a flight and view it from a 30,000-foot perspective and I think (I stand corrected) I have a better understanding of what you are looking for.  If you will, please hold my hand while we take a walk along the beach 

Based on your original question, I assume a situation where I click "browse", search for my image and then the path gets displayed in the appropriate textbox. However, when it comes time for insertion, nothing is stored.  If this is the case, then you need to do the following:

1) You need to create, via php (with necessary checking like: does directory exist? If yes, insert image else create it, setting the necessary permissions, etc), the directory where the file will go.  Then you need to add the file to that directory.

2) You will then need to do something like so:

and then insert this path, via mySQL INSERT, along with other values, into the appropriate columns of your table.   Then to display the image, you will need to do a SELECT, retrieve/print out the file path and the image should show.  Make sense?

So how do you go about doing this?  I would google (sorry but I am at work and we don't use PHP so I don't have my code with me) for the necessary scripts.  I did a few googles and found some stuff so you shouldn't have any problems.

Let us know how it goes.  As always, good luck!
