Jquery Image area select Z-index issue

0 Comments Published February 8th, 2010 in JavaScript, Programming Tags: No Tags.

If you try using PHP & jQuery image upload and crop [http://www.webmotionuk.co.uk/php-jquery-image-upload-and-crop/]
with some sort of modal like popup functionality, you will notice that the imgareaselect selection does not have proper zindex value,
although this plugin is using 0.6 version and 0.8/0.9 claims to have added zindex option, still doesnt seem to work

so grab 0.6 from link above and change the following line in the .js file

$a.add($o).css({ display: ‘none’, position: fixed ? ‘fixed’ : ‘absolute’, overflow: ‘hidden’,
zIndex: zIndex > 0 ? zIndex : null });

to

$a.add($o).css({ display: ‘none’, position:’fixed’ : ‘absolute’, overflow: ‘hidden’,
zIndex: ‘999′ });

POOR mans way of doing this, 3 combo box’s with day/month/year, with todays date already selected,
using my previous changing variable name method

<?php
$day = date("d");
$month = date("m");
$year = date("y");

${'daysel'.$day} = 'selected="selected"';
${'monthsel'.$month} =  'selected="selected"';
${'yearsel'.$year} = 'selected="selected"';
?>

Check for checkbox’s [PHP]

0 Comments Published August 27th, 2009 in PHP, Programming Tags: No Tags.

To check which checkbox is selected, or if both are selected, in PHP

<input type="checkbox" name="coupons[]" value="1" >
<input type="checkbox" name="coupons[]" value="2" >

checker in php

if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
$state=$_POST['coupons'];
foreach ($state as $statename)
{
$x = $statename;
$ugh .= $x;
}

if 1 is selected, result will be 1
if 2 is selected result will be 2
if both are selected, result will be 12

go forward using if($ugh == ‘12′){ } etc

Add more emails to send mail / multiple recipients / refer a friend

1 Comment Published August 18th, 2009 in JavaScript, Programming Tags: No Tags.

If you need to add several emails, to refer a friend without asking the user to add all in separated by commas !
Code below provides separate field, where user can add individual email and press ADD, emails are then added automatically, separated by a comma “,” . There is an extra comma at the end but eliminate with any server side language etc
emailer

<script type="text/javascript">


function exec(){

mains.to.value+=refer.email.value+",";
refer.email.value ="";
}
</script>


<form id="refer" onSubmit="exec();">
<input type="text" name="email"/>
<A href="#" onClick="exec();">ADD</a>
</form>


<form id="mains">
<input type="text" id="to" /><br>
<textarea id="message" rows="5"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>

above code, does not work when using a doctype so try this instead

function exec(){
document.reg.elements[0].value += document.refer.elements[0].value+",";
document.refer.elements[0].value = "";
}

Make sure the forms have the ‘name’ attribute as reg and refer, does not work when set as id [the way it is in the previous example]

And with jquery + validation [http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/]

<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/jquery.js" ></script>   
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/jquery.validate.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

$.validator.setDefaults({
    submitHandler: function() {
    var email = $('#email').val()+","+$('#to').val();
    $("input#to").val(email);
    $("input#email").val("");
 }
});
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#refer").validate({
 rules: {
   email:{required:true, email: true}},
messages: {
  email: {required: '  Required', email:'  Not Valid'}
},   
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
error.insertAfter(element.next())
}
});

});
</script>

Removing duplicates from several CSV/Excel files.

0 Comments Published August 5th, 2009 in PHP, Programming Tags: No Tags.

One can use ‘remove duplicates’ in excel but what if there are over 200k records, split into several csv files/spread sheets.
Easiest solution is to upload to database and add a checking method before hand.

1-Check if email already exists in table
2-If email does not exist then add email to table

<?php
ini_set('max_execution_time', 0);

//connect to database/table

$array = file("1.csv");
foreach ($array as $line1)
{
 $line2 = trim($line1);
 
 echo $line2;
 echo "<Br>";
 
 $queryString ="SELECT email FROM tempnew WHERE email = '$line2'";
 
 $result = mysql_query($queryString);
 $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

if($num_rows == 0)
{
 $queryString2 ="INSERT INTO tempnew(email) VALUES ('$line2')";
 $result2 = mysql_query($queryString2);
 }
   }
?>

above method was used to get unique email records

PHPlist list only displaying 1-50

0 Comments Published July 28th, 2009 in PHP, Programming Tags: No Tags.

Bug where phplist only displays 1-50 in a list, when more users exist [the back < and next > buttons do not function ]

<strong>Change members.php on line 205</strong>
if (isset($start) && $start) {
     $start = sprintf('%d',$_REQUEST["start"]);

<strong>To:</strong>
if (isset($_GET['start']) && (int) $_GET['start'] > 0) {
$start = (int) $_GET["start"];
