[Array - Need Detailed Explanation]

Thanks for your explanation, Ben

 

One more thing to clear and this is because I always see the same variable in your code. So I get confuse whether it is same variable or the other one.

 

Consider this line

 

$_SESSION[$type][] = $value;

 

and

 

foreach($_SESSION[$alert] as $value)

 

Both variable is same which is $value and both is an assignment to the same session (you mention earlier post). So this is just like confuse me a little bit

Really? What I saw in the video you only set the variable like this :

 

private $alertTypes;

 

Or maybe I just missed seeing

 

Ok enough for that part. Still not clear but better than before.

 

I have one more question. This one is about getAlert()

 

Consider this line :

 

if (isset($_SESSION[$alert]))

 

Is it the session come from this line :

 

$_SESSION[$type][] = $value;

 

If not, I need your explanation. Sorry to trouble you, Ben.

Thanks for your reply Still staring at the codes to understand the real process. Hopefully the thing will clicks soon

 

Ok when we say :

 

$type = $this->alertTypes[0];

 

What I understood right now is, we want to replace the $type with $this->alertTypes and put the node 0 to it. Like this :

 

$type[0]

 

Am I right?

[Array - Need Detailed Explanation]

Hi there,

 

I'm working on Ben Falk's PHP Login Using OOP & MVC and I need detailed explanation about this function :

 

	function setAlert($value, $type = null)
{
	if ($type == '') 
	{
		$type = $this->alertTypes[0];
	}
	$_SESSION[$type][] = $value;
}

 

What really the use of the blank array and how it works really?

 

Hopefully Ben or anybody can explain it deeply because I just a beginner here. Thanks!

[Problem with mysqli CRUD]

I imagine that it is caused by the empty space just after your renderForm function, but before the start of the next code:

 

<?php } ?>

<?php

I believe that empty line is being sent to the browser as a space character, which will cause the header() error when you try to redirect. Try revising those lines to this:

 

<?php } ?>
<?php

or you could just drop the unnecessary closing/opening PHP statements and go with this:

 

<?php }

 

Nah! The error all fixed now and I learned something new today

 

Thanks a lot Ben! You're really the legend here

[Problem with mysqli CRUD]

I believe the line that is causing the issue is here:

 

if ($firstname == NULL || $lastname = NULL) {

You need to have two "=" next to that last statement, otherwise you are accidentally setting $lastname to null. Try this and get back to me -- it should fix your problem.

 

Thanks Ben! The error gone already now

 

One more thing, when I try to add new record, I got this error on records.php

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\test\crud-mysqli\records.php:42) in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\crud-mysqli\records.php on line 64

 

Is it because the doctype that I use that cause this error?

[Problem with mysqli CRUD]

I'm home - but don't know php, sorry. I'm sure Ben will help you out as soon as he sees your question - unless on of our other PHP experts beats him to it.

 

Thanks Andrea to spend your time replying my topic. Although you not answering my question but it's great to see some reply from expert in noob's thread like me

[Problem with mysqli CRUD]

Sorry, must have missed seeing this one. I'll take a look.

 

Thanks Ben, I tried many times to fix this 2 issue here ('header' and 'last name cannot be NULL') but really don't have an idea what's going wrong. Really appreciate your help!

[Problem with mysqli CRUD]

Anybody home? Or do I need edit my question to be more specefic to get answer here?

 

Thanks

[Problem with mysqli CRUD]

Hello all,

 

Currently I'm working with Ben Falk's tutorial on PHP CRUD Videos and I got my head spinning with some errors

 

I'm stuck at video part 5 and below is my code (which I did based on the videos) for your reference (to help me ):

 

<?php 

include ('connect-db.php');

function renderForm($first = NULL, $last = NULL, $error = NULL, $id = NULL) { ?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title><?php if ($id != '') { echo "Edit Record"; } else { echo "New Record"; } ?></title>
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" />
</head>
<body>
<h1><?php if ($id != '') { echo "Edit Record"; } else { echo "New Record"; } ?></h1>

<?php if($error != '') {
echo "<div style='padding=4px; border=1px solid red; color:red'>" . $error . "</div";
} ?>

<form action="" method="post">
<div>
<?php if (!empty($id)) { ?>
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />
<p>ID: <?php echo $id; ?></p>
<?php } ?>

<strong>First Name: *</strong> <input type="text" name="firstname" value="<?php echo $first; ?>" />
<strong>Last Name: *</strong> <input type="text" name="lastname" value="<?php echo $last; ?>" />
<p>* Required</p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</div>
</form>

</body>
</html>

<?php } ?>

<?php

if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
	// editing existing records
	renderForm(NULL, NULL, NULL, $_GET['id']);
} else {
	// create new record
	if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {		
		$firstname = htmlentities($_POST['firstname'], ENT_QUOTES);
		$lastname = htmlentities($_POST['lastname'], ENT_QUOTES);

		if ($firstname == NULL || $lastname = NULL) {
			$error = 'ERROR: Please fill in all the required field';
			renderForm($firstname, $lastname, $error);
		} else {
			if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT players (firstname, lastname) VALUES (?,?)")) {
				$stmt->bind_param("ss", $firstname, $lastname);
				$stmt->execute();
				$stmt->close();
			} else {
				echo "Error: Could not prepare SQL statement.";
			}
			header("Location: view.php");
		}
	} else {	
		renderForm();		
	}	
}

$mysqli->close();
?>

 

And this is the error message I've got :

 

Warning: mysqli_stmt::execute() [mysqli-stmt.execute]: (23000/1048): Column 'lastname' cannot be null in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\crud-mysqli\records.php on line 59

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\test\crud-mysqli\records.php:42) in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\crud-mysqli\records.php on line 64

 

Hopefully someone can help me on this and your help will highly appreciated!

 

Many thanks!
