View As User

[mudmin]

So I'm guessing you're doing something like

Code:

$uid = Input::get('id');

Now you have to run a query on that.

Code:

$theUserQ = $db->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?",array($uid));

Code:

$theUser = $theUserQ->first();

Now you can echo out

Code:

$theUser->fname

to get the first name etc.

And I'm having one more issue....currently, all of my pages that have direct scripts in them are using the following script for

Code:

$uid

capture:
<pre>

Code:

if(isset($_GET['uid']))
    {
        if(checkMenu(2,$user->data()->id))
        {
            $uid = $_GET['uid'];
        }
        else
        {
            $uid = $user->data()->id;
        }
    }
if (empty($_GET['uid']))
    {
    $uid = $user->data()->id;
    }

</pre>


However, a page has to perform a function the

Code:

$uid

is not passed along.

For example, on

Code:

functions.php

, there is two div's, one for

Code:

alerts

and one for

Code:

stats

. These divs are powered by the following JS:
<pre>

Code:

function autoRefresh_div() {
    $("#stats").load("/eldis/master/usersc/includes/stats.php");
    $("#alerts").load("/eldis/master/usersc/includes/alerts.php");
}
setInterval(autoRefresh_div, 1000); // every 5 seconds
autoRefresh_div(); // on load

</pre>


However, I run into the issue of the fact that when I am running these two URLs, I cannot push the

Code:

$uid

value. I was thinking that I could do something with the divs to enter the

Code:

$uid

which the

Code:

functions.php

figures out (based on the script above) but how do I pass this on to the JS? Once it's at the JS it'll be fine, but my issue is getting it to the JS.

Any help would be great!

I'm terrible at JavaScript. I think you might have better luck pasting that function on stack overflow. I'll bet someone will answer it within a few hours.

Tell them all how great userspice is. Free advertising while you're at it

Mudmin,

Hopefully I will get someone good that won't yell at me about "situation specific" questions. Sometimes you get AMAZING people and sometimes you get really crappy people I will post it there!

Thanks!

[Brandin]

This was much easier than I thought it would be.


FYI, to pass PHP variables to Javascript, just add something such as the following:

Code:

var uid = "<?php echo $uid ?>";

to the top of your JavaScript, and modify the links your JavaScript pushes to.

[mudmin]

I've seen that. I think as long as you state that you know the $uid, that takes userspice out of the equation...so not knowing why the variable isn't passing seems straightforward enough.

[mudmin]

Oh. Nice. I really need to step up my js game.

[Brandin]

That's okay, because I know crap about JS and CSS. I really only am good with PHP and mySQL. Give me a PDO and I'm fried lol. I'm still trying to learn PDO.

[mudmin]

Well, userspice makes the whole PDO thing a lot easier. I'm sure there are more advanced things you need to know, but you can do 99{3bc1fe685386cc4c3ab89a3f76566d8931e181ad17f08aed9ad73b30bf28114d} of what you ever need to do by knowing the basic

$db, query, insert, delete, update that US has.
