How to increase the number of something using sessions?

Image
By User



I want the session increase more number every time I click on a button. The problem is I can not get it to increment. Seemed like it get the same value all the time. The script is below.







$no = 1;

session_start();



session_register("sess_id");

$_SESSION['sess_id'][]=$no;



$no++;

    Your question is a bit vague, but I think you're looking for something along the lines of:

    session_start();
    if (isset($_SESSION['number'])) { /* If there is already a value set */
    $_SESSION['number']++; /* Increment by 1 */
    }
    else { /* If there is no value set, ie the user is clicking the button for the first time */
    $_SESSION['number'] = 1; /* Set to 1 */
    }

    All you need to do is increment the value in the $_SESSION array:

    session_start();
    $_SESSION['no'] = empty($_SESSION['no']) ? 0 : $_SESSION['no'];
    $_SESSION['no'] += 1;

    Using session_register is DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0

    <?php
    session_start();
    $_SESSION['count']=(isset($_SESSION['count']))?$_SESSION['count']+1:0;
    ?>

    The main issue is how you're incrementing your variable. PHP does not default to assigning variables by reference, so $_SESSION['sess_id'][] = $no; is actually assigning by value (in addition to indexing the variable as an integer). Your subsequent call $n++ won't alter the value stored in your PHP session.

    What I think you want is to assign by reference, e.g.

    $no = 1;
    session_start();
    $_SESSION['your_session_var_name'] =& $no; // value is '1'

    $no++; // $no is now '2'
    echo $_SESSION['your_session_var_name']; // outputs '2'

    Do not use session_register anymore, just use the $_SESSION array.

    session_start();
    if(!isset($_SESSION['sess_id'])) $_SESSION['sess_id'] = 0;
    $_SESSION['sess_id']++;

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
