[09:33] yea [09:33] mind helping my sexy ass [09:33] what's up? [09:34] im sending $1 through $4 through a php with POST to another php [09:34] the other php which im posting to is taking $1 through $4 [09:34] it works OK but the problem is that i want to accept more than one check [09:35] get what im saying [09:35] somewhat, can I see it? [09:35] array, jeev ? [09:36] you can serialize an array and send it to the second php script [09:36] http://www.pastebin.ca/1590821 [09:36] so the second script just decrypts the array [09:36] i read the array's for checkbox [09:36] making them the same name and adding a [] but i couldn't read it [09:36] alll i could do is dump it [09:36] i still dont understand how i could make it add the selected product names and descriptions and price together [09:37] you want to add the total or what was selected? [09:37] add the total + name and description [09:37] this looks like a job for OOPHP [09:37] i would do a multi-dem array [09:37] using [] [09:37] yea tried that last night [09:38] you should have an array of check [09:38] s [09:38] check objects [09:38] $products['name'][] [09:38] $products['desc'][] [09:38] $products['price'][] [09:38] something like that [09:38] that have all this stuff, so you don't have to fool around with it [09:38] the name and description are actually set inside the php that's posted TO [09:38] ah ok [09:38] the set up is if $1 is enabled, set this.. [09:39] http://www.pastebin.ca/1590821 [09:39] would still be the same [09:39] im a pretty big noob, just starting to learn the basics of coding. [09:40] i can help you with it, it's not too hard [09:40] i did something similar when i created my dns panel [09:40] ok [09:40] do you want me to set up the array again [09:40] did $dns['A'][] [09:40] etc [09:41] ok, i did: [09:41] name=\"option[]\" value=\"0\" /> [09:41] through option 4 [09:41] is that right [09:41] then it gets posted to the php that i showed you [09:41] to be posted to the script you pastebined? no [09:41] how come [09:41] no [09:41] i put that in the previous file [09:41] which posts to what i pastebined [09:41] you just need to call that something. you handle that in the resulting script [09:42] this is right [09:42] i set it in the right script [09:42] can you maybe send me the entire two scripts so i can understand what you are trying to do? [09:42] i'm still a little lost at what this does [09:42] well give me a second first [09:42] let me explain this [09:42] k [09:43] right now [09:43] it's spitting out the array [09:43] whatever i check. [09:43] cause i tried it last night [09:43] the php i pastebinned is what is spitting it out, the entire thing [09:43] it's some nasty code, i really can't sift through it [09:44] lol [09:44] Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 ) [09:44] if i check box 2 and 3 [09:44] that's what shows up, whcih is right [09:44] i named them 0,1,2,3,4 [09:44] k [09:44] what do i now? how can i accept this [09:44] $_POST['option'][] [09:44] ? [09:45] is that the array? [09:45] yes [09:45] see the name is wrong... on the input type [09:45] i feel [09:45] you can't have a postvar with that name [09:45] name=\"option[]\" value=\"3\" /> [09:45] it would be $_POST[ [09:45] err [09:45] that's what im telling you, is i was stuck here [09:45] $_POST['option[]'][0] [09:46] oops.. replace the } with ] [09:46] oh, why then is the [] necessary [09:46] it isn't [09:46] -_- [09:46] thats why i said the name is wrong [09:46] i read that that's how you start an array [09:46] in PHP, yes [09:46] but not in html [09:46] that is just a name of that field [09:46] that has nothing to do with starting an array [09:46] so the []'s are useless? [09:46] yes [09:46] sec [09:46] in those tags [09:46] so just name [09:46] option. [09:46] that's it ? [09:46] yes [09:46] and a value [09:47] done [09:47] then, in the resulting script, use $_POST['option'][0] [09:47] or [09:47] $_POST['option'][1] [09:47] ok [09:47] might need to put those in single quotes tho [09:47] $_POST['option']['1] [09:47] gah [09:47] but where should i put it [09:47] i am still waking up, sorry [09:48] what should i surround it with [09:48] should i like $0 = $_POST['option']['0'] [09:48] ? [09:48] where ever you are testing the first checkbox which i'm guessing is $porduct1 ? [09:48] ok [09:49] $product_1 = $_POST['option']['1'] [09:49] oooo wait a sec [09:49] You just trying to allow them to submit one from a list? [09:49] yea [09:49] i am totally confused [09:49] :< [09:49] If they can only choose one, use radio buttons [09:49] if you only want one, you need to use a radio button [09:49] not a checkbox [09:49] no [09:50] not submit one from a list [09:50] and you would do a case statement on $_POST['option'] [09:50] sorry i read that wrong [09:50] i have 5 checkboxes [09:50] any 5 combination could be selected [09:50] actually, i have one select all which sends all. [09:50] the other combination of 4 could be selected [09:50] i want it to add it together. [09:50] ok [09:50] it's a service with options. [09:50] forget what i said earlier. -_- those checkboxes need different names [09:51] like prod1, prod2, prod3 [09:51] sono array ? [09:51] Then use your etc [09:51] eh [09:51] hmm [09:51] that's what i read last night [09:52] THen you have an array named product, that you can iterate over [09:52] yea [09:52] but it would be within $_POST[] [09:52] i get that it sends over the array [09:52] yea BeBoo_ [09:52] Yes [09:52] but i dont know what to do after that [09:52] i mean i can get it with _POST [09:52] if ($_POST['product'][1]) { box 1 was checked) etc [09:53] but do i have to have that for each product and possible product [09:53] to match it up? [09:53] if product 1 and 3 are selected.. [09:53] *** ballen|away is now known as ballen [09:54] Just run it through a while or foreach loop [09:55] hmm [09:56] foreach ($_POST['product'] as $index) { $price = $items[$index]['price'] } or some such [09:57] * jeev is lost [09:57] lol [09:58] Sorry ;) [09:59] sec, jeev, working on it [09:59] i sort of understand the foreach [09:59] but i'm just lost [09:59] lost where? [09:59] how do you set the prices of ecah product [10:00] then the descriptions and add them together [10:01] Set up an array of hashes and store that info in it [10:01] Then you can just reference those values by the boxes the user checked [10:01] Iterate over their choices picking out the checked products and sum em up [10:03] hm [10:04] why do i even need an array, the previous way iw as doing it [10:04] it was just sending which ever name was enabled, the value [10:04] i mean it was just fine [10:04] You don't [10:04] i just needed a way to add up the fields [10:04] But if the number of products increases, your code to process it will have to keep increasing [10:04] yea it really wont [10:05] it's not a shopping cart for items, just a service with options [10:05] a couple options [10:05] By iterating over an array, the code never changes regardless of whether you offer 5 or 1000 options [10:05] jeev: then then do $sum = 0; then in the if statements just to $sum .= $price; [10:05] i understand [10:05] err not .= [10:05] lol [10:05] += [10:05] yeah that [10:05] sorry [10:05] bah [10:06] i need some tea or coffee or something [10:06] i need a miracle [10:06] http://www.pastebin.ca/1590821 [10:06] can i set [10:06] product_1's product_name to product_name1 [10:06] and ... for the rest [10:06] then try to add them up [10:07] $product_name1 + $product_name2 + .. [10:07] http://www.pastebin.ca/1590873 [10:08] oh [10:08] depends on how you want to output it [10:09] and the same with text, right [10:09] that code will just add the prices [10:09] except, how would i put ,'s [10:09] to separate [10:09] $products .= ", ".$product_name [10:09] in each if [10:10] cept the first one [10:10] drop the comma [10:10] lol [10:10] But then how does he know which is the first value they actually checked [10:10] I would do something like [10:10] $product_desc[] = 'THe Description'; in each if [10:11] nice, it adds it [10:11] And then just do a $prod_descriptions = implode(',', $product_desc); [10:11] i wish i could code man [10:11] http://pastebin.ca/1590877 [10:11] right [10:12] true [10:12] scratch taht post [10:12] thats a good trick, Thorgrimr [10:13] rfmfhrmrhrmfm [10:26] i have no motivation to do anything today [10:26] =\ [10:34] who does [11:00] *** ballen is now known as ballen|away [11:21] *** ballen|away is now known as ballen [11:37] *** ballen is now known as ballen|away [12:56] *** Element` is now known as Element [12:56] *** Element is now known as teknicaL [13:30] *** ballen|away is now known as ballen [14:03] blah [14:05] *** visinin has joined #arpnetworks [14:12] *** heavysixer has quit IRC () [14:15] blahj [14:15] -j [14:15] no [14:44] *** bithash has joined #arpnetworks [14:59] well [14:59] Thorgrimr helped me [14:59] im almost done, just have to work out some minor things with his code and i'll be done ;) [15:11] BeBoo_, ther e?

[23:15] *** ballen_ is now known as ballen [23:15] $git tag rough_draft_v1 [23:15] fecking thesis [23:16] i have a ? about rdns when your back up_the_irons [23:21] up_the_irons i was wondering if i could run my own rdns server if that is allowed [23:31] what's some good blogging software [23:31] i want to create some sexy political shit [23:31] so i could light the ass up of the morons in this country [23:31] scanty-redis [23:31] huh [23:31] if you want some seriously lightweight [23:31] software [23:32] i want to use my domain [23:32] ahmadinejad.org [23:32] http://github.com/adamwiggins/scanty-redis [23:32] as a blog [23:32] thats nice [23:32] i love that guy [23:32] he's funny and a truth speaker in my opinion [23:32] i will be the left wing poster [23:32] theres also a couchdb version [23:32] and i'll get a few right wing posters on the site too [23:33] that version uses redis [23:33] and there is also one that uses ActiveRecord [23:33] its running: http://sysadminschronicles.com/ [23:33] but pretty heavily modified [23:33] hmm [23:34] dbgi: http://support.arpnetworks.com/faqs/main/reverse-dns [23:34] dbgi: you can run your own DNS server, sure [23:34] up_the_irons, first draft of thesis is done [23:35] ballen: :D [23:35] v.2 will be done, with new and improved grammar and spelling [23:35] by tomorrow [23:35] i could read your v1, but i'd make you cry if your spelling and gramar wasn't already fixed [23:35] yep [23:35] channel poll -- [23:35] haven't even read through it [23:35] a second time [23:36] I was thinking... Look at this: http://support.arpnetworks.com/faqs/main/reverse-dns [23:36] then imagine the same question, answer with this layout: http://arpnetworks.com/about [23:36] (obviously imagine the "about" stuff is gone) [23:36] what is easier to read / understand? [23:36] yep [23:36] I kinda feel the KB on the support site has "a lot going on"... [23:37] agreed very busy [23:37] like it belongs on Sun or Dell's site ;) [23:37] re-jigger it [23:38] plus it would look like it was yours and not hosted somewhere else [23:38] I use that support app b/c it was geared toward support, and has stuff like search, ticketing, etc... all built in. but i'm wondering if I should just make my own, simpler, KB on my own site w/ Sinatra, and just make it searchable [23:38] up_the_irons could u delegate rdns to my ip 206.125.172.78? [23:38] if that makes any sence [23:38] ballen: yeah i hear ya on that... there's some way to change the CSS on that though [23:38] sense [23:38] dbgi: your whole /28 ? [23:39] ballen: i you know of any Sinatra plugin that makes pages "searchable" (for lack of a better word) [23:39] up_the_irons: maybe try to fix the CSS, is that a hosted solution or a app you're running? [23:39] uhh [23:39] searching... [23:39] is just a pain in the balls [23:39] in general [23:40] up_the_irons yea if thats ok [23:40] ballen: it's hosted, but there's a way to upload your own CSS, or something [23:40] dbgi: sure, what rdns software are you running? [23:40] ballen: I will make note of it, "pain in the balls" [23:40] * ballen working on the same problem [23:40] with Sinatra [23:40] up_the_irons gonna be bind9 [23:41] dbgi: ok, i'll work on it, gimme a few mins [23:41] there is Ferret, http://www.davebalmain.com/ [23:41] coool thanks [23:41] with is a ruby search index [23:41] which* [23:41] which just halls ass in perf [23:42] yeah i've used ferret [23:42] i've used sphinx more [23:42] which one is better [23:43] sphinx [23:43] thinking sphinx is quite a nice lib: http://freelancing-god.github.com/ts/en/ [23:44] but i'm purposely avoiding any ActiveRecord within my site (the Sinatra portion, at least) [23:44] this is very integrated: http://www.rootbsd.net/faq/ [23:44] i want my faq to be like that... [23:45] not a bunch of different "articles" you have to search for or find in a directory [23:45] there ya go, one big ass page [23:45] plus if i host my own faq, i can see statistics on it, i can even host mini howto's [23:45] let the user search [23:45] with their browser [23:46] * up_the_irons sense sarcasm [23:46] wicked simple app [23:46] nah [23:46] *senses [23:46] seriously [23:46] by far the most simple solution [23:47] why do anything more difficult [23:47] i mean, personally, i hate f*cking click around everywhere to find what i need; i'd rather have it all in one page and hit "/[enter]" (i use vimperator) [23:47] wasting time on it when you could be working on something else [23:47] ah roger [23:47] that is what I'll do then [23:48] i kinda like how Sinatra documentation is like that [23:48] yea [23:48] it's like one page of "Getting started", and then "The Manual" [23:48] and that's it [23:48] top to bottom [23:48] ballen [23:48] yea the people behind Sinatra get this whole perfectly minimalist thing pretty well [23:49] that scanty thing looks like a headache [23:49] heh [23:49] jeev: easy as hell [23:49] scanty? [23:49] i like the sysadminchronicles [23:49] checkout tumblr.com if you want a hosted solution [23:49] ballen [23:49] can customize it fully [23:49] i have a million servers [23:49] whywould i want to host it elsewhere? :D [23:49] its free [23:50] and wicked easy [23:50] i'll download it, i duno [23:50] which database should i use though [23:50] up_the_irons: http://github.com/adamwiggins/scanty-redis [23:50] Sinatra app [23:50] i've never heard of redis [23:50] its a Key/value db [23:50] that rawks [23:51] up_the_irons: its running my blog sysadminschronicles.com [23:51] not that exact version, but thats what its derived from [23:52] hm [23:54] ballen: (reading some scrollback) -- about the colo, hard to say; i think a high end 1U would be cheaper than 4 low end 1U's. "hardly any" power for a 1U would be like 0.5A, at the very minimum, which is still something; a high end 1U would be like 2A [23:54] even if the low end 1U was running an Atom CPU drawing like 25 watts [23:54] max [23:55] also how about squeezing 2-4 servers into 1U [23:57] ballen: the Atom may draw only 25 watts, but the main power supply to the box will be a lot more [23:58] here's an interesting stat: [23:58] nah the whole box draws 25 watts [23:58] my one big VM server was using 2 amps before I put in that second Intel Xeon E5430 2.66 GHz Quad-Core bad boy [23:58] guess how much it drew after I added the second CPU? [23:58] 3 [23:58] nope [23:59] 2 [23:59] 4 [23:59] the needle didn't move [23:59] hmm [23:59] interesting [23:59] it means the CPU power was negligable [23:59] 60watt CPU? [23:59] I have 8 7200 RPM drives in there [23:59] a ton of fans [23:59] 2 redundant power supplies [23:59] raid controller [23:59] NICs [23:59] everything [23:59] yea [23:59] lot of stuff going on
