couple of msql conversion

5/04/2018 9:04 am | #1 Jamie

Hi Ray

Am trying to convert this to mysqli to show the date in a UK format in a datepicker input -

<?php echo((isset($_GET["invalid"])?ValidatedField("blogupdate","BlogDate"):"".(($row_WADAblog["BlogDate"] != "")?date("d-m-Y",strtotime($row_WADAblog["BlogDate"])):date("d-m-Y"))."")); ?>

have tried changing to this but no joy

<?php echo((isset($_GET["invalid"])?ValidatedField("blogupdate","BlogDate"):"".(($WADAblog("BlogDate") != "")?date("d-m-Y",strtotime($WADAblog("BlogDate"))):date("d-m-Y"))."")); ?>

Also, I am trying to convert this to mysqli with no joy

<?php } while ($row_WADAtemplate = mysql_fetch_assoc($WADAtemplate)); ?>

<?php } ?>

Cheers

Jamie

Should be:

php:

<?php echo((isset($_GET["invalid"])?ValidatedField("blogupdate","BlogDate"):"".(($WADAblog->getColumnVal("BlogDate") != "")?date("d-m-Y",strtotime($WADAblog->getColumnVal("BlogDate"))):date("d-m-Y"))."")); ?>

The second code is just a repeat region... you should be able to delete those lines and highlight the same area of code and apply the mysqli repeat region to get the equivalent code.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

thanks Ray - works great

As am going through the various pages to convert, have another one that am unsure how to convert to mysqli where the database connection is $DBConnection:

<?php
function cmp($a, $b) {
  	return ($a[2] < $b[2] || ($a[2] == $b[2] && $b[2] == $b[1]))? -1: 1;
}
if (isset($_POST["UpdateOrder"])) {
    mysql_select_db($database_PowerCMSConnection, $PowerCMSConnection);
	$OrderArray = array();
	$start = 1;
	while (isset($_POST["FaqID_".$start])) {
		$OrderArray["Products_". $_POST["FaqID_".$start]] = array($_POST["FaqID_".$start],$start,$_POST["FaqOrder_".$start]);
		$start ++;
	}
	$start = 1;
	uasort($OrderArray, "cmp");
	foreach ($OrderArray as $Products) {
		
	mysql_query("UPDATE faqs SET FaqOrder = ". $start ." WHERE FaqID = " . intval($Products[0]), $PowerCMSConnection) or die(mysql_error());
$start++;
	}
} 
?>

You can delete teh mysql_select_db() line.

Then you just have to update the code for the mysql_query() line.

You should be able to apply the mysqli update server behavior and
set the FaqOrder value to <?php echo($start); ?>
and FaqID to <?php echo($Products[0]); ?>

Then just replace the mysql_query() line with the new update code.

many thanks Ray

which bit of the update code do I replace that with

I have

<?php
if (false) {
  $UpdateQuery = new WA_MySQLi_Query($DBConnection);
  $UpdateQuery->Action = "update";
  $UpdateQuery->Table = "faqs";
  $UpdateQuery->bindColumn("FaqID", "i", "".($Products[0])  ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $UpdateQuery->bindColumn("FaqOrder", "i", "".($start)  ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $UpdateQuery->addFilter("FaqID", "=", "i", "".($_GET['FaqID'])  ."");
  $UpdateQuery->execute();
  $UpdateGoTo = "";
  if (function_exists("rel2abs")) $UpdateGoTo = $UpdateGoTo?rel2abs($UpdateGoTo,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
  $UpdateQuery->redirect($UpdateGoTo);
}
?>

and updated the original code to this but it doesnt reorder the content

<?php
function cmp($a, $b) {
  	return ($a[2] < $b[2] || ($a[2] == $b[2] && $b[2] == $b[1]))? -1: 1;
}
if (isset($_POST["UpdateOrder"])) {
	$OrderArray = array();
	$start = 1;
	while (isset($_POST["FaqID_".$start])) {
		$OrderArray["Products_". $_POST["FaqID_".$start]] = array($_POST["FaqID_".$start],$start,$_POST["FaqOrder_".$start]);
		$start ++;
	}
	$start = 1;
	uasort($OrderArray, "cmp");
	foreach ($OrderArray as $Products) {
		
  $UpdateQuery = new WA_MySQLi_Query($DBConnection);
  $UpdateQuery->Action = "update";
  $UpdateQuery->Table = "faqs";
  $UpdateQuery->bindColumn("FaqID", "i", "".($Products[0])  ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $UpdateQuery->bindColumn("FaqOrder", "i", "".($start)  ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $UpdateQuery->addFilter("FaqID", "=", "i", "".($_GET['FaqID'])  ."");
  $UpdateQuery->execute();
  $UpdateGoTo = "";
  if (function_exists("rel2abs")) $UpdateGoTo = $UpdateGoTo?rel2abs($UpdateGoTo,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
  $UpdateQuery->redirect($UpdateGoTo);
	}
} 
?>

To match your original the lines should be:

$UpdateQuery = new WA_MySQLi_Query($DBConnection);
  $UpdateQuery->Action = "update";
  $UpdateQuery->Table = "faqs";
  $UpdateQuery->bindColumn("FaqOrder", "i", "".($start)  ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $UpdateQuery->addFilter("FaqID", "=", "i", "".(Products[0])  ."");
  $UpdateQuery->execute();
  $UpdateGoTo = "";

You removed this line in the loop:

$start++;

That had to stay. I've added it back and the page works now.
