while statements, eval, and only one result showing :(

hey guys, i'm using the Template Hack, mucho props to whomever made that, it's a great hack!

however, i'm trying to make a raffle like hack with this, so far i'm not doign to bad :)

this would be my first attempt at a hack.

i have this in my code

PHP Code:


		
			
//check to see that $id is not set

if(!isset($id)) {

    $raffle = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM raffle_list WHERE status='current'");

        while($raffleql = $DB_site->fetch_array($raffle)) {

        

        $raftitle = $raffleql['title'];

        $rafid = $raffleql['id'];

         eval("\$ticketid = \"".logiciangettemplate('ticketid')."\";");

        }//end while

}//end $id is not set

and then i have my template set to use $ticketid, which works great :)

but then the ticketid tempalte looks like this

PHP Code:


		
			
<a href="show.php?pg=raffle&id=$rafid">$raftitle</a>

the $rafid and $raftitle work like a charm, however, if i have 2 raffles i want to show up it only shows one :(

how do you make the while statement work correctly? i know you can do it, since teh forumhome and forumdisplay does it :)

thanks alot ;)

After a quick look to your code, try to replace this:

PHP Code:


		
			
eval("\$ticketid = \"".logiciangettemplate('ticketid')."\";");

for this:

PHP Code:


		
			
eval("\$ticketid .= \"".logiciangettemplate('ticketid')."\";");

hmm ok i even tried it within my original raffle template and not using $ticketid and what not as seperate templates....

any help would be great here :) usually there will only be one raffle but there may be more then 1 sometimes :) thanks for your input

eval("\$ticketid .= \"".logiciangettemplate('ticketid')."\";");

actually that would make sense .= so it takes more as needed :)

thanks!

Be uber-certain to either unset() or set to "" $ticketid first to avoid HTML injection.

Would this be the same thing then?

$pollrun = "";
unset($pollrun);

even though the variable hasn't been declared yet?

filburt1

Either:

PHP Code:


		
			
unset($pollrun); // i like because it happens to free memory too

PHP Code:


		
			
$pollrun = "";

works. Remember with vB2, register_globals is explicitly turned on which is the biggest security hole known to mankind.

Which one would you have to use with register_globals turned off?

The simple way to learn it is to output the bits of data in the while loop can call the actual template outside of the while loop :)

haha, thanks everyone...... i usually do $poll = ""; and such, i have done alot of little things to my forum ;)

i made a script that uses the forum usernames and passwordst o login with :)

a new question.... i have 8 different styles, and 5 out of them are very different from the rest.. so how would I go about focring a style? i'd wanna use a styleid but how do you force it... oh wait nm!

PHP Code:


		
			
//set varaible for style that you wanna overgiht



$overstyle = "1";



$styleid = $overstyle;

would that work?

or wait i could even use
$session['styleid']

which would be better?!

thanks :)

I'm not sure if either would work given how the engine works...however $session['styleid'] would probably be cleaner (or maybe even $bbuserinfo['styleid']).

when i originally wrote up my script above here i did use
$bbuserinfo['styleid'];

but really all you have to do is reset the string to 1 or whatever styleid you wish to use....

i'm gonna take a look at index.php or oen of those files see how it's done, shouldn't be difficult.

thanks again :)

Try looking specifically at forumdisplay.php because one of the options for a forum is to override the style set :)

yeah that's what i was thinking ;) good call on that one :)

i'll let you know if i figure this out, it's pretty cool :)

i'm happy to say that my raffle hack was a 100% success :)

and is now up and running on few beta tests!!!

this was based upon LOGICIAN WEBTEMPLATE & WEBQUERY HACK, a very powerful hack :)

i used his page to show a raffle template and i wrote in all my functions into his php page entitled show.php

i like it :)

not sure if I should actually make an install file and put her up on here, but I'd ask logician first ;)

thanks alot for your help!
