HELP ON CODES: Writng a new plugin

  • I’ve been trying to solve this for three days now but no success and it’s getting stressing. I hope you guy out there can help me out and explain to me what is wrong with the code.

    The code is to look for
    [DATA:<- ID OF THE DATA IN MYSQL ->] on the content page and replace it with the ID’s title.

    eg: [DATA:2] = < b >This is info for ID 2 < /b >
    Everything work perfectly until i added the codes with the Asterik ‘*’… and all I get is blank. No result, nothing… not even the [Data:2] tag.

    Please help.

    ==================================
    function scannow ($content) {
    $CODE = ‘/\[DATA\:(.*?)\]/is’;
    $VALUE = ‘$1’;

    * $result = mysql_query(“SELECT * FROM wp_datastructure WHERE option_id = ‘$VALUE'”);
    * $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
    * $VALUE = $row[‘option_name’];

    $content = preg_replace($CODE, $VALUE, $content);
    return $content;
    }

    PS: I know this is not a php support website. Why I putting it here and ask for assistance is because, it’s for WP plugin and all WP tags and functions in query stuff are not quite familiarize by me.

    …this is the worst support forum i ever encounter. Pathetic.

    Well first off you need a little patience.

    Second, you need to preg_match before performing the sql query. $VALUE = '$1'; will literally have the value of $1.

    Preg_match before query and I’ll get sql errors, preg_match after and all the post in the page goes blank.

    nvm, it’s ok…. i quit doing the plugin. Not worth wasting 2 days trying to figure what’s wrong with the code and over 2 days to get help… 4 days wasted, time is money.

    outz!
