hi,i am new to daniweb,glad to be a member of such wonderful community,
what i am trying to build a google map where user can find a train location by entering the train name into the search box.
i have two php file one is gmap.php which is outputing the train data from database in xml,
and my mymap.php is using gmap.php as GDownloadUrl
when the user is sumbiting the form ,its calling mymap.php
what i am trying to is pass that text value into my gmap.php so that i can write a query like this
"SELECT * FROM markers WHERE train_no="$_post['textboxvalue']'";
creating session isnot working.
my gmap.php
<?php
require("dbinfo.php");
function parseToXML($htmlStr)
{
$xmlStr=str_replace('<','<',$htmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('>','>',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('"','"',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("'",''',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("&",'&',$xmlStr);
return $xmlStr;
}
// Opens a connection to a MySQL server
$connection=mysql_connect (localhost, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) {
die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}
// Set the active MySQL database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mysql_error());
}
// Select all the rows in the markers table
$query = "SELECT * FROM markers WHERE 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}
header("Content-type: text/xml");
// Start XML file, echo parent node
echo '<markers>';
// Iterate through the rows, printing XML nodes for each
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
// ADD TO XML DOCUMENT NODE
echo '<marker ';
echo 'train_id="' . parseToXML($row['train_id']) . '" ';
echo 'desc="' . parseToXML($row['desc']) . '" ';
echo 'lat="' . $row['lat'] . '" ';
echo 'lng="' . $row['lng'] . '" ';
echo 'type="' . $row['type'] . '" ';
echo '/>';
}
// End XML file
echo '</markers>';
?>
my mymap.php
<?php echo $_session['a'];?>
