So I have 2 php files, one is calling function other is implementing the functions.
In the one that is implementing the functions I call require("shares.php") - shares.php is file that calls the functions
The problem is that, it's not seeing the functions, so I made a check to see if the functions exists and No, they do not exists ((.
Please see here.
shares.php
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'>
<html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>
<head>
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8' />
<title>Shares</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if (function_exists('get_contents'))
{
if(function_exists('print_contents'))
{
$data = get_contents();
print_contents($data);
}
}
else
{
print("Not Found");
}
?>
</body>
</html>
And here are the implementation of functions.
if(isset($_GET['share']))
{
$conn = db_connect();
if($_GET["newSorting"] == 1)
{
$shares = get_shareSearch($conn, "company");
}
if($_GET["newSorting"] == 2)
{
$shares = get_shareSearch($conn, "rate");
}
if($_GET["newSorting"] == 3)
{
$shares = get_shareSearch($conn, "issue_date");
}
db_disconnect($conn);
$contents = array('shares' => $shares);
return $contents;
}
else
{
$conn = db_connect();
$shares = get_share($conn);
db_disconnect($conn);
$contents = array('shares' => $shares);
return $contents;
}
}
function print_contents($contents)
{
if(count($contents['shares']) == 0)
{
echo "<script type = 'text/javascript'>alert('Sorry but share is not found! Q_Q');</script>";
}
else
{
?>
<table>
<tr>
<th><a href="share-company-links.php?companySort=true">Company Name</a></th>
<th><a href="share-company-links.php?rateSort=true">Rate</a></th>
<th><a href="share-company-links.php?issueSort=true">Issue date</a></th>
</tr>
<?php
foreach ($contents['shares'] as $share)
{
print "<tr>";
$identifier = urlencode($share['COMPANY']);
print "<td><a href='share-details.php?company={$identifier}'>{$share['COMPANY']}</a></td>";
print "<td>{$share['RATE']}</td>";
$issue_date = $share['ISSUE_DATE'];
$issue_date = $issue_date === NULL ? "< not available >" : $issue_date;
print "<td>{$issue_date}</td>";
print "</tr>";
}
?>
</table>
<?php
}
}
require_once("shares.php");
?>
The result will be Not Found.
The file that uses these functions (share.php) should require the other file, not the other way around. So, in shares
<body>
<?php
require_once('thatotherfile.php');
if (function_exists('get_contents'))
{
if(function_exists('print_contents'))
{
$data = get_contents();
print_contents($data);
}
}
will work.
