note 71130 added to language.variables.variable

If you have certain settings that you would like to have run throughout your site and be changeable on the fly, then you set them by having two things: 1. A table in your db that has certain values: 1. optionValue - the value of the variable that you want to have throughout your site 2. optionName - the name of the variable you are using 2. The following script in your globals or includes file: <?PHP $query = "SELECT optionValue, optionName FROM siteOptions"; $result = mysql_query($query); while($res = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC)){ // $_SESSION[$res['optionName']] = $res['optionValue']; $a = $res['optionName']; $$a = $res['optionValue']; } mysql_free_result($result); ?> This script will go in and dynamically create, name, and value variables from the database. You can use this instead of the session variables. When you change a setting in your admin settings form or in the table of your database then it will automatically have the new value on the next page load. No waiting, and no reuploading of the script just to change one variable. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 216.106.46.193 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71130 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71130/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71130/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71130/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71130/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71130/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71130/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71130 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71130 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
