I have a project done in PHP format and I have to include Python Django to implement my machine learning algorithms such as SVM, random forest, logistic regression, and naive Bayes. Is it possible to do so? Can I use my Django project to include my PHP files? Also, my PHP files are under xampp htdocs while my Django project is under the C: folder

Can you help me with the codings so I can put them in my Django project to include my PHP files?

I have a very simple custom gateway plugin intended to store some passive data on Woocommerce orders, no actual processing is taking place. It uses the woocommerce_before_pay_action hook to capture the meta data from the custom woocommerce_form_field payment fields via $_POST and store them in the order meta like this:

function save_cash_custom_fields( $order ){
//If this order had been paid for with cash
if( $order->get_payment_method() === 'ms_cash' ){
    //If the cash_paid_by field is set
    if( isset( $_POST['cash_paid_by'] ) ){
        $order->update_meta_data( 'cash_paid_by', sanitize_text_field( $_POST['cash_paid_by'] ) );
    }
    //If the cash_received_by field is set
    if( isset( $_POST['cash_received_by'] ) ){
        $order->update_meta_data( 'cash_received_by', sanitize_text_field( $_POST['cash_received_by'] ) );
    }
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_pay_action', 'save_cash_custom_fields', 10, 1 );

And it works. Sometimes. It’s being really inconsistent, sometimes it captures the data and other times it doesn’t, there are no errors showing and the fields aren’t even being created in the database the times it doesn’t work.

I’ve stepped through the function and output every step of the way, and it’s always there. No errors are being logged anywhere, and the transaction is completing correctly, just this meta data is not being stored.

Can anyone suggest why this is being intermittent? Is the hook not the best option for this?

i have downloaded the website of the company appinventiv for converting it into the wordpress theme. but when the download of the files have completed i saw that there are 100’s of files and its bit confusing in finding out the pages files from that, how can I find the different pages from the downloaded website easily . what steps should i follow to find the different pages. i tried opening each file and then try understanding them but it is not going well as this process is confusing me alot as the code in each file appears to be same. same header sections same content. now what should I do

I’m having a challenge converting the PHP openssl_* functions to GO language. I want to be able to encrypt a text using PHP and decrypt it using GO. This is the PHP functions encryption and decryption:

<?php

function Encrypt($ClearTextData)
{
    $secretKey = 'RJBwYSb5dFcyqUEHD300jY9nhxmi6Lnx';
    try {
        $EncryptionKey = base64_decode($secretKey);
        $InitializationVector = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(openssl_cipher_iv_length('AES-256-CBC'));
        $EncryptedText = openssl_encrypt($ClearTextData, 'AES-256-CBC', $EncryptionKey, 0, $InitializationVector);
        $data = base64_encode($EncryptedText . '::' . $InitializationVector);

        return $data;
    } catch (Exception $ex) {
        throw $ex;
    }
}

function Decrypt($CipherData)
{
    $secretKey = 'RJBwYSb5dFcyqUEHD300jY9nhxmi6Lnx';
    try {
        if (!$CipherData) {
            throw new ErrorException('Empty cipher string', 4004);
        }

        $EncryptionKey = base64_decode($secretKey);
        list($Encrypted_Data, $InitializationVector) = array_pad(explode('::', base64_decode($CipherData), 2), 2, null);
        return openssl_decrypt($Encrypted_Data, 'AES-256-CBC', $EncryptionKey, 0, $InitializationVector);
    } catch (Exception $ex) {
        throw $ex;
    }
}

I want to have the same functions in GO. The decrypt function in GO should be able to decrypt what has been encrypted in PHP

Inconsistent Cipher Output Between Node.js and PHP When Reading Large Files by Chunks

Problem Description

I’m facing an issue with ensuring consistent cipher output between Node.js and PHP when reading large files by chunks. The output differs even though the same values are being read and processed. Below is the code for both PHP and Node.js implementations.

I am working on a Shop Page in WordPress, using WooCommerce and Astra. I want to display all the product categories on the product page. However, Astra only displays one single category.
In the official WordPress forum it sais that this can be fixed with php. However, they’re not giving any more information on how exactly.

Since I’m not capable of writing php, I was wondering if anyone could help me with this.

Thanks for reading,
Reiskeks

I want to receive all letters from a folder in Cyrillic
I tried many different functions, but I didn’t find a working method, everything is ok with other folders

$folder = "Название папки на кирилице" ;
imap_open("{imap.example.com}/".$folder, $login, $password);

i get error

Notice: Unknown: [CLIENTBUG] SELECT No such folder. sc=xQG456O15YuQ0_200927_imap-production-586 (errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0

I tried
imap_utf7_decode() and iconv

Related to my previous question, I found out that due to an error I made, Laravel generates a wrong SQL query:

select * from "companies" where "companies"."id" = '9c54986f-8284-4da9-b826-c7a723de279b' and "companies"."deleted_at" is null and "company_id" = '9c54986f-8284-4da9-b826-c7a723de279b'

The problem here is that company_id does not exist in companies; however, the query does not generate an error when run, it just returns no result.

I suppose the problem here is that "company_id" is treated as a literal instead of a column reference; if I remove the quotes I get a proper error:

Error: in prepare, no such column: company_id (1)

I also get a proper error if I add the table prefix to the column name:

sqlite> select * from "companies" where "companies"."id" = '9c54986f-8284-4da9-b826-c7a723de279b' and "companies"."deleted_at" is null and "companies"."compa
ny_id" = '9c54986f-8284-4da9-b826-c7a723de279b';
Error: in prepare, no such column: companies.company_id (1)

Is there a way to solve this problem by acting on Laravel’s or SQLite’s configuration? I cannot alter how the queries are generated, as they are generated by the framework itself.

whenever i use Where clasue in query, it is not working

i want to show some specific data by condition

i tried this below –
$query = “SELECT * FROM batch_details where ins_name=’safi’ “;
but when i use where clause in query it doesn`t work

//fetch.php

Below is the php code i have on my website. We have been getting some email form submissions that are working but we have also been getting a large amount of empty submissions. When i try to submit a form without filling it out the site wont allow it. BUT lately a. lot have been coming in looking like this.

“Information Submitted:
Name:
Email:
Phone:
Message:
”
Is this someone trying to hack my site?

I am very new to coding/backend web development and have basically taught myself everything through youtube so i definitely need some help.

$userName       = $_POST['name-3'];
$userPhone      = $_POST['name-2'];
$userEmail = htmlspecialchars($_POST['email-2']);
$userMessage    = $_POST['email-3'];

$to             = "[email protected]";
$subject        = "Email from my website";
$body           = "Information Submitted:";

$body .= "rn Name: " . $userName;
$body .= "rn Email: " . $userEmail;
$body .= "rn Phone: " . $userPhone;
$body .= "rn Message: " . $userMessage;

mail($to, $subject, $body);///

if (filter_var($userEmail, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){
    
 //email is valid
} else {
    //email is invalid
}

if ($_POST['submit']) {
    if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from)) { 
       $success = "Message successfully sent";
    } else {
        $success = "Message Sending Failed, try again";
    }
}

My site is hosted on Cpannel through Godaddy. In my web files, there is an error log that tells me “Undefined array key “submit” in /send.php” for each line of the fields below. I feel like this is going to be a super simple fix and I would appreciate the help!

I have tried adding different validations and such but in general I am just confused.

First when I tried to open phpmyadmin it just continued loading forever. then showed me some error. I fixed that issue increasing max_execution time to 5000; But now when I enter tables or databases it opens very very slow.

I tried increase max_execution time to 5000;

I’m trying to implement a password reset functionality in my Laravel application without requiring the email address, using only the reset token. I encountered an issue because the Password::tokenExists method requires both the token and user data, but there’s no straightforward way to get user data with only the token.

Here’s my current approach:

Store the reset token in the remember_token column of the users table.
Retrieve the user based on the remember_token.
Validate the token.
Reset the password if the token is valid.
Here’s my implementation:

public function resetPassword(Request $request) {
    try {
        $request->validate([
            'token' => 'required|string',
            'password' => 'required|string|min:8'
        ]);

        $user = User::where('remember_token', $request->token)->first();

        // Validate the token
        if (!$user || !Password::tokenExists($user, $request->token)) {
            return response()->json([
                'status' => false,
                'message' => 'Invalid or expired token.',
            ], 400);
        }

        // Reset the password
        $user->password = Hash::make($request->password);
        $user->remember_token = null;
        $user->save();

        // Remove the reset token after successful password reset
        Password::deleteToken($user);

        return response()->json([
            'status' => true,
            'message' => 'Password has been reset successfully.',
        ]);

    } catch (ValidationException $e) {
        return response()->json([
            'status' => false,
            'message' => $e->getMessage(),
            'errors' => $e->errors(),
        ], 422);

    } catch (Exception $e) {
        return response()->json([
            'status' => false,
            'message' => $e->getMessage(),
        ], $e->getCode() ?: 500);
    }
}

My questions are:

• Is storing the reset token in the remember_token column and retrieving the user based on this token a good approach?
• Are there any better or more secure methods to achieve password reset functionality without requiring the email address?

Any suggestions or improvements would be greatly appreciated!
