Redirect webpage to the same page with a message


Redirect webpage to the same page with a message




Processing the form on the same page or is the form action a separate file? If it is a separate file, you can redirect after form processing using the header function and passing in a get variable like so:


Code:
if($form_success){
    header('original_page.php?success=true');
}  






Here I am checking a made-up variable called $form_success, though it would probably contain a boolean value based on whether the form successfully submitted or not. If it did submit, I am redirecting the user to original_page.php with a GET variable success = true. This can be accessed on your form page (wherever you want the message to display in the HTML) like this:




Code:
if(isset($_GET['success'])){
    if($_GET['success'] == 'true'){
         echo '<div class="success">THANK YOU. YOUR DATA HAS BEEN SUBMITTED</div>'
    }else{
         echo '<div class="error">SORRY, PROBLEM SUBMITTING YOUR DATA</div>'
    }
}

PHP - Simple Ad Rotation Script


PHP - Simple Ad Rotation Script


In this script (very easy script), we setup 3 ads for rotation. First ad, we want it to display 70%, second ad we want to display 20% and the last one we want to display 10% 


What to do
1. Random number 1-100
if result = 1-70 (we have opportunity to display ad1, 70%)
if result = 71-90 (we have opportunity to display ad2, 20%)
if result = 91-100 (we have opportunity to display ad3, 10%)


Example
In this script, we use rand(1, 100); to random number between 1 -100 and keep the result in variable named "$result_random" if result = 85 ad2 will be displayed.


Code - 


<?php 


// random number 1 - 100 $result_random = rand(1, 100); 


// if result less than or equal 70, display ad1 (70%) 
if($result_random <= 70){ 
echo "Display ad1"; 



// if result less than or equal 90, display ad2 (20%) 
else if($result_random <= 90){ 
echo "Display ad2"; 



// if result less than or equal 100, display ad3 (10%) 
else { 
echo "Display ad3"; 



?>

PHP - Automatic refresh webpage / Set time to redirect


PHP - Automatic refresh webpage / Set time to redirect




When you need your web page automatically refresh in 5 second or any second you want, you can use this meta tag. It's a simple code, put it between tag ... on your web page. 


This script is easy but powerful. Many websites use this script to redirect their web page or refresh the same page, for example, my website updates in every 10 minutes and I want to show user my latest content then I put this script to my page and set it refreshs in every 10 minutes.


Code - 


<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='2;url='file_name or URL'>
</HEAD>


// content = time (second). 
// file_name = name of file you want to refresh or redirect. 
// URL = URL of website that you want to redirect to.

PHP - RSS Generator


PHP - RSS Generator
You'll need a MySQL database with a a table called `rss_feed`. In that table there are 3 colums:item title (which is the name a person will see for an item), the item link (which is the location of the page with the item on it), and description (which tells what the feed is about). Put the file in a folder called feed and you're feed will be available at yoursite.com/feed
Remember to change the feed title, link and image for your specific feed.

<?php

   // Connect to database... (you'll need to create this yourself)
   require_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/connection.php';

   // Run query...
   $getFeed = mysql_query("SELECT *
                           FROM `rss_feed`
                           ORDER BY `time` DESC
                           ")or die(mysql_error());

   // Output XML (RSS)
    echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
          <rss version="2.0">
                <channel>
                        <title>Your RSS Title</title>
                        <link>http://the_location_of_your_feed/feed</link>

while($rssFeed = mysql_fetch_array($getFeed)) {
        echo '<item>',

Calendar.js


/**
This is a JavaScript library that will allow you to easily add some basic DHTML
drop-down datepicker functionality to your Notes forms. This script is not as
full-featured as others you may find on the Internet, but it's free, it's easy to
understand, and it's easy to change.

You'll also want to include a stylesheet that makes the datepicker elements
look nice. An example one can be found in the database that this script was
originally released with, at:

http://www.nsftools.com/tips/NotesTips.htm#datepicker

I've tested this lightly with Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla Firefox. I have no idea
how compatible it is with other browsers.

version 1.5
December 4, 2005
Julian Robichaux -- http://www.nsftools.com

HISTORY
--  version 1.0 (Sept. 4, 2004):
Initial release.

--  version 1.1 (Sept. 5, 2004):
Added capability to define the date format to be used, either globally (using the
defaultDateSeparator and defaultDateFormat variables) or when the displayDatePicker
function is called.

--  version 1.2 (Sept. 7, 2004):
Fixed problem where datepicker x-y coordinates weren't right inside of a table.
Fixed problem where datepicker wouldn't display over selection lists on a page.
Added a call to the datePickerClosed function (if one exists) after the datepicker
is closed, to allow the developer to add their own custom validation after a date
has been chosen. For this to work, you must have a function called datePickerClosed
somewhere on the page, that accepts a field object as a parameter. See the
example in the comments of the updateDateField function for more details.

--  version 1.3 (Sept. 9, 2004)
Fixed problem where adding the <div> and <iFrame> used for displaying the datepicker
was causing problems on IE 6 with global variables that had handles to objects on
the page (I fixed the problem by adding the elements using document.createElement()
and document.body.appendChild() instead of document.body.innerHTML += ...).

--  version 1.4 (Dec. 20, 2004)
Added "targetDateField.focus();" to the updateDateField function (as suggested
by Alan Lepofsky) to avoid a situation where the cursor focus is at the top of the
form after a date has been picked. Added "padding: 0px;" to the dpButton CSS
style, to keep the table from being so wide when displayed in Firefox.

-- version 1.5 (Dec 4, 2005)
Added display=none when datepicker is hidden, to fix problem where cursor is
not visible on input fields that are beneath the date picker. Added additional null
date handling for date errors in Safari when the date is empty. Added additional
error handling for iFrame creation, to avoid reported errors in Opera. Added
onMouseOver event for day cells, to allow color changes when the mouse hovers
over a cell (to make it easier to determine what cell you're over). Added comments
in the style sheet, to make it more clear what the different style elements are for.

/**
This is the main function you'll call from the onClick event of a button.
Normally, you'll have something like this on your HTML page:

Start Date: <input name="StartDate">
<input type=button value="select" onclick="displayDatePicker('StartDate');">

That will cause the datepicker to be displayed beneath the StartDate field and
any date that is chosen will update the value of that field. If you'd rather have the
datepicker display beneath the button that was clicked, you can code the button
like this:

<input type=button value="select" onclick="displayDatePicker('StartDate', this);">

So, pretty much, the first argument (dateFieldName) is a string representing the
name of the field that will be modified if the user picks a date, and the second
argument (displayBelowThisObject) is optional and represents an actual node
on the HTML document that the datepicker should be displayed below.

In version 1.1 of this code, the dtFormat and dtSep variables were added, allowing
you to use a specific date format or date separator for a given call to this function.
Normally, you'll just want to set these defaults globally with the defaultDateSeparator
and defaultDateFormat variables, but it doesn't hurt anything to add them as optional
parameters here. An example of use is:

<input type=button value="select" onclick="displayDatePicker('StartDate', false, 'dmy', '.');">

This would display the datepicker beneath the StartDate field (because the
displayBelowThisObject parameter was false), and update the StartDate field with
the chosen value of the datepicker using a date format of dd.mm.yyyy
