im really having a hard time on coding in PHP
just like my last quiz in my php class...

i already got the logic but still dont know how to code it
maybe because the syntax of php is very similar to C language...
cuz when im in my C language class like 3 years ago...i did nt really like progmming back then so i always intend to absent that subject...

but now that i realize that proraming is such a cool thing...
i really want to learn on how to improve my coding on PHP

is it really just Practice and memorization?

"im a slow learner...but i LOVE to learn"...

Well, I believe the answer to your questions is, Both.

Memorize, since you need to put in mind the pre-built functions that PHP has, their purpose, usage, howtos, what are the arguments needed and the parameters to consider.

Practice, they say that practice makes perfect and for me practice can make us get use to and understand well the rules and discover different coding style variations, techniques and logic formulation.

There are many ways that can make us atleast a good programmer, just focus on what you do and what you want to be.

And one of my mentor told me this and want to share with you all.

"Learn 5 Everyday", meaning, learn atleast 5 functions/syntax, their usages, howtos, and implement them on sample programs source code to better understand them I tell you will gain alot! try to think of this... 5 X 30 = 150 X 12 = 1800, breakdown, 5 learnings a days times 30 (stands for the number of days in a month) and time 12 (for the number of months in a year) See! That's Alot!

And above anything else I think one the greatest challenge we all faces and we need to overcome right now is how do we start doing this two (Practice and Memorize)? For me, you have to challenge yourself, to think of, this is your future we are talking about this will be your bread and butter in the near days.

Begin Now! or Never!

i got hit right on the button...

i think ill have to figure out on what i really want to do with my life.. now
just like what DL said "begin now or never"




"Learn 5 everyday"
these will help alot...
Thanks TS!

DL about XAMP!!if you dont have a IP folder inside of htdocs what u will do?? just cr8??or it will work without it??I cant run my sample codes Or bka sa browser ko lang Im using IE7

You can create any folder with any name as long as it is inside the HTDOCS folder.

For example:

You created a folder name, MYSITE

Then, on the browser you can run that as...

HTTP://LOCALHOST/MYSITE/YOURFILE.PHP

or

HTTP://127.0.0.1/MYSITE/YOURFILE.PHP

If this won't work try to check your XAMPP CONTROL PANEL if the Apache Web Server is working/running.

Please let me know if it works.

I have created and using a function for that which can generate Pagination on the web page. Mejo mahaba-haba ang code para dun.. hehe.. ^_^. Nga pala "PAGINATION" ang tawag dun.

sir sidestep lang sa thesis namin gusto ko lang malaman, i really have no time to research PHP kaya nagtanong nalang ako. May sample pa ba kayo ng code? oh yung function kasi gusto ko malaman un sa php kasi its as important as the primary control diba? kasi nagfloflood ang webpage.

Tnx a lot DL

Just want to ask..how to validate data..in PHP
I already get how to save data in DB
Example:
I have a textbox and Submit button
I click the submit button
the data will be save.. but if that data is already existing in the DB it will tell you that the data already exist..

what is the proper code for this??

tnx..ehehe

tnx..ehehe

First you need to determine if the record already exist by selecting values in a column where values are should be unique for example username,

Validate the username if exist using SQL,

Code:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM USERS_TABLE WHERE username = '". $_POST['username'] . "'";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 1)  # If greater than 1 means there is
{                            # an existing user with the same name
echo "Record Already Exist";
}
else
{
echo "Record Does Not Exist"
}

Explanation:

Syntax:
int mysql_num_rows ( resource $result )

Usage:

Retrieves the number of rows from a result set. This command is only valid for statements like SELECT or SHOW that return an actual result set.[b]

Please let me know if this works.

Halimaw ya talaga i sir DL hehehe biruin mo ung short method hehehe.

$_GET['pass'] = $pass;

mysql_query("INSERT INTO tbl_user(user, pass) VALUES('$user', '$pass') ");
mysql_close($con);
?>



<form name="f1" method="get">

$action = $_GET['action'];  //Get the ACTION, for this ex. the action is ADD.
$user = $_GET['user'];      // GET User
$pass = $_GET['pass'];      // Get Password

switch($action)
{
    case 'ADD':
      // CODE FOR ADD!
      mysql_query("INSERT INTO tbl_user(user, pass) VALUES('$user', '$pass') ");
    mysql_close($con);
    break;
