Hi Yes...I will check....for now I went with using NSDate and NSDateComponenets of Objective-C for the iOS version of the app....but with the Android version, I'll have to research more about other C++ libraries if I wanna reuse my C++ classes..... Thank you very much

I just tested the above code...it only works properly from 1902 onwards... so now the question is... is there a convenient way for me to be able to determine the day of a particular date before 1902? or do I have to write that class myself? It's gonna be tricky......

Hi I'm wondering about the limitations of ctime and mktime. For example: time_t t; struct tm * timeinfo; string weekday[] = { "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"}; // get current timeinfo and modify it to user's choice t = time(NULL); timeinfo = localtime(&t); timeinfo->tm_year = local_year - 1900; timeinfo->tm_mon = local_month - 1; timeinfo->tm_mday = local_day; // call mktime: timeinfo->tm_wday will be set mktime(timeinfo); cout << "That day is a " << weekday[timeinfo->tm_wday] << endl; I am trying to determine the day of ANY date. Ideally, I would like it to be able to handle dates as far back as 5000 BC (if that is even possible) or year -5000....if not then maybe atleast 100 AD........ Am I asking C++ to do something it can't handle any more? How do I do what I described above in C++? What's the earliest date that ctime can handle? Is it only from 1970??? Thank you

Hi Larry, I've figured it out.....the source files in the C Library I am using had not included the corresponding header files with the declaration of the structs. I've added them and it now compiles properly. Thank you for trying to help

Hi Larry, I am using C Programming Language inside Xcode which I'll be mixing with Objective-C eventually, but the example code above that I am asking about is C Programming Language. Thank you very much.....

Hi All, Im trying to solve a problem with C struct. This is the structure of the struct in header file that is 'included': struct plantbl { char max_harmonic[9]; char max_power_of_t; signed char *arg_tbl; double *lon_tbl; double *lat_tbl; double *rad_tbl; double distance; }; To use this struct, the current code is in this format: static struct plantbl FAR mer404 = { { 11, 14, 10, 11, 4, 5, 2, 0, 0,}, 6, merargs, mertabl, mertabb, mertabr, 3.8709830979999998e-01, }; However the above code produces this error: /Users/bliss/Documents/iPhone_Programming/My XCode 4.1 Apps/SwissTest/swemptab.c:1091: error: variable 'mer404' has initializer but incomplete type FAR btw is a Macro defined as: # ifndef FAR # define FAR # endif # define MALLOC malloc # define CALLOC calloc # define FREE free #else # ifndef FAR # define FAR far # endif # ifdef __BORLANDC__ # include <alloc.h> # define MALLOC farmalloc # define CALLOC farcalloc # define FREE farfree # else # define MALLOC _fmalloc # define CALLOC _fcalloc # define FREE _ffree # endif #endif So anyway...I decide to recode the mer404 to something I thought will be equivalent to the intention of the code above but hopefully does not result in a error... so I changed the code to: char placeholder[9] = { 11, 14, 10, 11, 4, 5, 2, 0, 0,}; static struct plantbl FAR mer404 = { placeholder, 6, merargs, mertabl, mertabb, mertabr, 3.8709830979999998e-01, }; but I still get the following error: /Users/bliss/Documents/iPhone_Programming/My XCode 4.1 Apps/SwissTest/swemptab.c:1080: error: variable 'mer404' has initializer but incomplete type Now I don't understand why this would be happening....I am trying to feed in values to each of the 7 elements/properties of the struct plantabl.......... Can someone enlighten me on what to do to solve this problem please??? Thank you very much....

Hi everyone, I got the solution now... I just changed this code: mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ALL); to mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);

Hi all, I've been playing around with mysqli object oriented query. I have a database called 'records2'. Inside the 'records2' database, I created one table called 'players' and it is of MyISAM type. The 'players' table has 3 fields: id, firstname, lastname. If I only enter one entry, then the mysqli->query() works fine, but if I enter 2 or more entries inside the 'players' table, then suddenly the code below if($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM players ORDER BY id")) doesn't get called anymore at all. Here is the code I use...as far as I can tell, there is nothing wrong with the code. What could be another possible explanation of why it works for a single entry and not for multiple entries? To see what I mean in action, here is the video I posted on youtube to explain and show how the program is not working: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL9q7MeI-A8 Here is the code: connect-db.php <?php $server = 'localhost'; $user = 'root'; $pass = 'root'; $db = 'records2'; $mysqli = new mysqli($server, $user, $pass, $db); mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ALL); echo "ECHOING FROM connect-db.php"."<br>"; if ($mysqli->connect_errno) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", $mysqli->connect_error); exit(); } ?> view.php <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title> View Records</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> </head> <body> <h1> View Records</h1> <?php include('connect-db.php'); if($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM players ORDER BY id")) { if($result->num_rows > 0) { echo "<table border = '1' cellpadding = '10'>"; echo "<tr><th>ID</th><th>First Name</th><th>Last Name</th></tr>"; while($row = $result->fetch_object()) { echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>" . $row->id . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $row->firstname . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $row->lastname . "</td>"; echo "</tr>"; } echo "</table>"; } else { echo "No results to display!"; } } else { echo "Error: " . $mysqli->error; } $mysqli->close(); ?>

Hi HartleySan yeah...I could get the values in the super global in one way....but not in the way I expected...but I just realized that I expected it to have a 0, when it did not.... anyway...yes...thank you very much

Hi Larry, You are right.... I didn't notice that the 0 was being dropped.... I've experimented with it...and it is being stored in the array without the 0.... Thank you very much

Hi Larry and everyone... I was working on a PHP Ecommerce Exercise... Was using $_GET[new] variable through the url e.g. myexample.php?new=1 I found something that seems to be illogical.... if I use myexample.php?new=1 and then work with $_SESSION['cart'][1]....it works perfectly but if I use myexample.php?new=0672319241 , then $_SESSION['cart'][0672319241] doesn't work as it is expected to, despite of it being used the same way as when new=1..... To show you what I mean copy and paste the code below to a file called myexample.php and then load it through myexample.php?new=1 and then compare the results to when the results that display when you load it through myexample.php?new=0672319241.....What's the explanation for this? Thank you very much... <?php // //myexample.php?new=0672319241 versus myexample.php?new=1 // session_start(); echo "if you save this file as myexample.php <br/>"; echo "then activate it within ur localhost using a browser by typing myexample.php?new=1 on the url <br/>"; echo "and observe that everything works fine with the myexample.php?new=1 example <br/>"; echo "After that, if you try myexample.php?new=0672319241 <br/>"; echo "You can see that \$_SESSION['cart'][0672319241] doesn't seem to work properly...howcome??? <br/>"; echo "It really seems illogical for it not to work....am I missing something here? <br/> <br/> <br/>"; $new = $_GET['new']; if($new){ echo "\$new = ".$new."<br/>"; if($new == '0672319241'){ $_SESSION['cart'] = array(); $_SESSION['cart'][$new] = "CONTENT_FOR_0672319241"; }else if($new == '1'){ $_SESSION['cart'][$new] = CONTENT_FOR_1; } echo "\$_SESSION['cart'][\$new] = ".$_SESSION['cart'][$new]."<br/>"; if($new == '1'){ echo "\$_SESSION['cart'][1] = ".$_SESSION['cart'][1]."<br/>"; }else if($new == '0672319241' ){ echo "\$_SESSION['cart'][0672319241] = ".$_SESSION['cart'][0672319241]."<br/>"; } //BUT...... echo "BUT IF YOU USE A FOREACH METHOD TO SEE WHAT's IN THE ARRAY THEN..."."<br/>"; foreach($_SESSION['cart'] as $k => $v){ echo "THIS ARRAY HAS THIS KEY INSIDE = ".$k."<br/>"; echo "THE KEY THEN POINTS TO THIS VALUE = ".$v."<br/>"; } } session_destroy(); ?>

Hi Larry, Thank you very much

Hi Larry, Thank you for the reply. I actually have tried that even before posting the problem in this forum... However, I really think the switch is not there...I have tried searching the following keywords using the computer's help and ignoring case: 'virtual'; 'virtual directory'; 'virtual directory support', and I don't get any matching hits that describes it as being the switch to enable the Virtual Directory Support. Am I missing something here? I've googled it as well and some people say Virtual Directory Support is enabled through Apache.... I'll copy and paste my php.ini file below...if one CTRL+F (on Windows) through it or CMD+F(on MAC) through it...you'll quickly see what i mean.... I'm not even sure if enabling Virtual Directoy Support will really help me make minishowcase work properly on my MAMP localhost, which is really my goal... I don't think the switch is there...but pls let me know if I am mistaken.....but I have searched for the keywords.... Thank you very much for all the help....

Hi all, I use MAMP and when I click phpinfo, I see that "Virtual Directory Support" is "disabled". I don't really understand its relevance, really. Is Virtual Directory Support a PHP or Apache issue? and what is it for? I ask because I suspect that this 'may be' the reason why a PHP Program called minishowcase is not working this time. A few months ago, I downloaded "minishowcase" from www.minishowcase.net" and used it as part of a site I was developing. At that time, minishowcase worked perfectly in my MAMP localhost as well as my hosting site. Here is the end result of the site I made using minishowcase: http://www.lizannedesigns.com/minishowcase/index.php So everything would have been fine....but a few weeks ago, I decided to triple boot my MacBook Pro with MacOSX, ubuntu and Windows 7...I unfortunately made a mistake and I had to reformat the whole hard disk. Because of that, I had to download MAMP once again and reinstall it without changing any default setting. But, weirdly enough, from then on, even if I use the same exact files as seen on the above website I made or if I download the original unedited minishowcase program from www.minishowcase.net, the minishowcase program does not run the same anymore. To be more specific about what has changed: the difference is that the menu that shows the titles of the album/galleries is not showing anymore. For example, if you click the website above, what are not showing when I run it on my localhost are: 2010.10 SPRING SUMMER 2011 (30) 2010.05 HOLIDAY 2010 (30) 2009.10 SPRING SUMMER 2010 (10) 2009.05 HOLIDAY 2009 (10) 2009.03 FALL WINTER 2009 (8) 2008.10 SPRING SUMMER 2009 (10) 2008.05 HOLIDAY 2008 (10) 2008.02 SPRING SUMMER 2008 (21) or if it was based on the official demo site of minishowcase: http://minishowcase.net/demo/ what is not showing is "my pictures" and "venezuela"... So because minishowcase works properly on the hosting but not on my MAMP localhost. I also tried running it on my friend's computer...and minishowcase worked fine on my friend's computer. I then looked at her phpinfo contents. One of the difference I saw is that the "Virtual Directory Support" is enabled in her XAMP, while it was disabled on my MAMP. Which leads me back to my question above. What is the Virtual Directory Support for? and how do I enable it? Do you think this is the reason why the same exact program is running in a different way on my MAMP localhost now? Can anyone help please...... I am further improving the website above, but I need to get minishowcase to work on my localhost, so I can work more smoothly...... Any help will be greatly appreciated.....thank you very much

Hi Larry, I see what you mean.... I'll just skip this IPN part for now then... Thank you very much
